BLUE AND GRAY.

HAG ERsTowN, Md, May 31.-On
Antietam battlefield, on Wednesday,
the men who wore the blue and the
men who wore the gray met today in
good fellowship and brotherhood. AS
friends who have forgotten and for
given, as citizens Of one great nation
and followers of one fair flag, they
shook hands one with the other and
forged new link in the great chain
| which binds the North and the South.
Men were there who fought shoulder
to shoulder and bayonet to bayonet,
comrades and ancient enemies-Burn-
SIDES men and Longstreet's, veterans
from Dixie and old soldiers of the
Maryland line.
1t was day of glorious meaning, for
an expression Of the final and certain
reconciliation of the two peoples whose
standards have been in emnity, in
cludes not a little Of sublimity. A
monument in memory of Federal and
Confederate dead was handed over by
the representative of the people OF
Maryland to the representative of the
entire people of the United States was
one which should and will become his
torical. 1t marked an epoch in the
life Of the American republic.
The monument was dedicated with
imposing ceremonies. President Nc.
Kinley was an interested spectator and
in response to loud calls, spoke as fol-
lows: II appear only for the moment
that l may make acknowledgment for
your courteous greetings and express
my sympathy and approval. | am glad
to meet on this memorable field the fol-
lowers of Lee, Jackson and Longstreet
with the followers of Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan, greeting each other with
affection and respect. One reflection
only has crowded my mind. The diff
ference between this scene and that of
thirty-eight years ago. Then the blue
greeted the gray with shot and she'll
We meet after all these years with but
one sentiment, that of loyalty to the
government and love for our flag and
determined to make any sacrifice for
the American Union. l am glad of
that meeting between Grant and Lee at
Appomattox. l am glad we were kept
together and the Union was saved
There must be comfort in the fact that
American soldiers never surrendered to
any one but American soldiers. l am
glad to preside over nation of S0,000,-
600 of people more united than they
have ever been. The achievements OF
that war are the heritage of those who
failed and those who prevailed. When
we went to war two years ago the men
Of the South We'd with the men of the
North in bravery. Together the men

IN CONGRESS-.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-At the con-
clusion of an eight hour session the
Senate this evening passed the sundry
civil appropriation bill which had been
under consideration for nearly a week.
The amendment provided for an ap.
preparation of $4,000 900 for the Lou
isiana purchase exposition to be held IN
st. Louis in 1908 was continued in the
bill. An effort was made to reduce the
amount to be appropriated, but it was
unsuccessful. An amendment was in
corporated providing for the beginning

etery, to be erected in memory of the
dead of both the Union and Confed-
crate armies. While the bill carries
only $500, 900 for the project it is ex-
pected ultimately to cost about SO, 000,-
600. An amendment also was added to
the measure providing for an adjust

their arms and take the oath not to

Messages received this morning from
Pretoria confirm the reports of the de-
parture of President Kruger with his
cabinet and staff officials Tuesday night
and the selection at a meeting of citi-
zens OF a committee to administer the
city provisions. Since these kilograms
left on Wednesday nothing apparently
has reached Lorenzo Marques by tele.
graph from Pretoria. Possibly the
wires have been cut Possibly the
Boer censorship at some intermediate
point intercepts kilograms.
The present seat of the Boer govern
ment, according to despatch from
Lorenzo Marquee dated yesterday is
Middleburg but it will probably be
shifted further east.
The Beers who lately confronted
Lord Roberts, appear to have gone
eastward toward the Lydenburg re-
gion. The defenders of Laings Mex,
when their position becomes too per-
ilous, will probably trek straight north
ward toward Lydenburg. When this
concentration takes place there will be
possibly 10000 men who may hold out
for time NTH scattered bands of
guerillas elsewhere.

MEMORIAL DAY,

With the weather all that could he de-
sired, the observance of Memorial Day at
Montpelier was successfully carried out
Nearly all the stores and places OF business
were closed at noon and the audience at
Armory hall in the afternoon numbered
fully 1000 people. During the forenoon de-
tails from Brooks Post visited the several
cemeteries in town and decorated with
flags and flowers the graves Of 178 men who
fought in the Union army during the Mex
lean, civil and Spanish wars. Another de-
tail from the Post with the Montpelier Mil.
itrry band went to Berlin Corner in the
forenoon and assisted In the ceremonies
there.
The grafton by Rev. c. o. Judkins was a
stirring patriotic address. Any attempted
abstract would mar it's beauty force and
effect. Mr.. Judkins began by saying that no
better school for citizenship exists than the
annals of country's doings. The men of
the Grand Army of the Republic, these
soldier editors Of ours, have written his
tory which shows US the value Of real cit
izenshp, history that shall never be
shelved or forgotten. The speaker opened
this volume and brought some of its truths
to the attention of his hearers.
The first chapter was written when the
representatives Of the people met at the
State capital to say how much money we
should place on the altar OF our country.
The part taken at this special session of the
ioSisiature ny zen. stephen lnomaS was
eloquently touched upon and drew storms
of applause from the veterans, as did the
speakers reference to the part taken by
the old Eighth Vermont Regiment, com
manded by Colonel Thomas, in the fight in
the Shenandoah valley.
Mr.. Judkins forcibly elaborated two
points, namely, a careful and we'll judged
citizenship depends upon broad concep-
tion OF political situations; citizenship to be
effective must not only belong to a party
but must be ahead Of that party. Mr.. Jud-
kins spoke entirely without notes, and at
the close of his address was warmly
thanked by the veterans under whose aus
pices the services were held, and at whose
invitation he was present

A military escort proceeded to the
Malate cemetery, where the graves of
United States soldiers were decorated

were delivered, interspersed with vocal
and instrumental music.

BIG PROPOSITION.

DENVER, June 1.-Governor Thomas
has given endorsement to a gigantic
proposition whereby the Union Pacific
Land Company proposes to give 1,000,-
900 acres of land in the valley of the
Platte River in Colorado to the defeat
ed Beers. E. G. Wantland, agent for
the Union Pacific, left for the East last
night to present the proposition to the
Boer ENJOYS. The company makes no
charge for the land and will undertake
to transport the Beers to Colorado, be-
ing repaid on the installment plan after
the communities are established and
prosperous.

IN SOUTH AFRICA,

LONDON, May 3l.-London awoke
this morning to 6ud he war ended.
People have not vet recovered from
their surprise sufficiently to make a
demonstration for up to noon the city
was quiet. Lord Roberts apparently
must again depend on London for adj
vices OF communication AS to his plans
as he has not yet telegraphed any in
timstion OF Krugei's collapse which the
press dispatches indicate. Up to last
evening Lord Roberts was unaware of
the state Of affairs at Pretoria. The
following messages received from him
tim ID last night from Germiston make
no mention of Pretoria:

son for deferring entrance to Johan-

Great is the rejoicing over what appears
to be complete immunity from the forest

presence Of the pest have been discovered
in this city, and the country round about
seems TO be rid OF it. The extinction OF the
vermin is commonly ascribed to the freeze
