DISTINGUISHED MEN ATTEND
CORNERSTONE LAYING OF SHAFT
IN HONOR OF BRAVE FIGHTERS

fredericksburg Va, May 26.-On the
very ground over which the old Fifth
corps charged at fredericksburg Presi-
dent Mckinley, his cabinet and Gen,
Miles yesterday witnessed the laying
OF the corner stone in a shaft which
will perpetuate in bronze and granite
the heroism of the army Of the Po-
tomac. Il was an impressive cere-
mony, and rendered the more so by
the fact that among the hundreds who
witnessed the event were noted leaders
of both the federal and the Confederate
forces.
The monument was the personal gift
OF Gen. Daniel Butterfield to the Ma
tiOnal Memorial association. This IN
itself was a unique feature. as the
battlefield monuments heretofore have
been mostly the gifts of corporated
societies or furnished by popular sub
scriptions. Gen. Butterfield himself
was present and assisted in the cere-
mony, but owing to i'll health the
committal Of the monument to the sec
retary OF war was made BY Col. Hill,
one Of the veterans Of the Fifth corps.
The ceremony was with due Masonic
rights, and at its completion the Sec
retary of war accepted the gift in the
name Of the American people.
BY happy coincidence the Masonic
lodge participating was Fredericks-
burg Lodge No. 4, of which George
Washington was a member. Behind
the Masons were grouped the full Ma
rine band.
