were appointed to visit New York and
confer with Mrs. Davis in regard to the
Arch. These ladies reported a most al
fectionate and touching interview with
Mrs. Davis, and said that she withdrew
all opposition to the Arch, as it was
strictly memorial. She desires the loca-
ton, which had been selected by the
Daughters at Twelfth and Broad streets
changed on account of the trolley line
passing through it. Several locations
were then discussed, but only two con-
sidered available-Twelfth and Broad
and Monroe Park. o telegram was sent
to Mrs. Davis, asking her which of the
two she preferred. Her reply was, Mon
roe Park. The directors were the re-
cipients of many graceful attentions from
the charming people of Richmond, and
nothing was left undone to make their
visit most delightful one. Now. that
the matter of the Arch, and the location
asis settled and entirely satisfactorily to
all parties concerned, ways and means of
raising the balance of this fund is the
all absorbing question. Mrs. Edgar
Taylor, the efficient treasurer, reported
at this meeting s43, 900 in bank drawing
interest. The arch, when completed, will
cost $4,000, so it is very plain we can
not be idle. 1t was suggested that a
bazaar be- held in Richmond next May

u.s. this is the easiest and quickest way
Of raising the money. Before anything
definite is decided. however, directors are
requested to confer with their chapters
and make a report. Since Mrs. Taylor's
last printed report, November, 1901, North
Carolina has contributed to date 27-
her total contribution since the work be-
gan-is $1,S72.27. This is the largest
contribution of any State, Virginia ex-
cepted, and is the largest of all division
contributions. North Carolina has done
well in this work, but we ask that her
best and noblest efforts, for the next
two years, be put forth for this glorious
cause. We ask the support of the people
of the South Chapters are urged to sus-
pend all local work as far as possible,
until this memorial is completed.
We wish to thank the patriotic children
of the graded schools of Raleigh. Green's
boro and Concord, for generous penny
contributions. Cabarrus County Camp
No. 212 U. c. ", contributed to this
fund for 1902, and We earnestly hope that
other camps will send through their State
directors, contributions, no matter how
small How glad we would eb to hear
from the sons Of veterans. When the
subject of the arch was brought before
the convention at Wilmington, not a
single objection was heard.
The United Daughters of the Confed-

this monument to the beloved and only
president of the Confederate States of
America. They will do it.

Miscellaneous Business in the House.
(By the Associated Press.)

lBy the Associated PreSS.)
Washington, June 16.-The House to-
day transacted some miscellaneous busi-
ness under suspension of the rules.
1t included the adoption of resolutions
appropriating $4,000 for the prepara-
tion of plans for memorial in this city
to Abraham Lincoln, 100000 toward the
erection of a monument to the prison
ship martyrs who died off Brooklyn as
a result of the cruelties to which they
were subjected by the British during
the Revolutionary War and $4,000 for the
erection of monument at Fredericks-
burg, Va, to the memory of Gen. Hugh
Mercer, who was killed during the Revo-
lutionary War. The resolution adopted
today was to carry out an authoriza-
tion made for this purpose in 1777 by
the Continental Congress.
Two bills were passed to amend the
general pension laws, one to provide for
the restoration to the pension rolls Of
the widows of soldiers who subsequently
married and were again widowed and
one to increase the pension of those who
have lost limb or were totally disabled
while in the military or naval service.
The latter mill also carried an important
provision to increase the pension of a
soldier under the dependent act of 1890
from $12 to $50 per month when such
pensioner requires frequent or periodical
attendance.
The resolution calling on. the Secre
tary of War for his reasons for the dis
missal of Rebecca J. Taylor, a clerk in
the War Department, was laid on the
table, 100 to S4. Three Republicans voted
on this question with the Democrats.
A bill to authorize the Secretary of
War in his discretion to favor American
built ships in the transportation of Gov
ernment supplies to the Philippines was
defeated.
The House adopted a resolution to
make the Philippine Government Bill a
special order from June 10Th to 26th in
elusive.
The Senate amendments to the Naval
Appropriation Bill were non-concurred in
and the bill was sent to conference
Messrs. Foss Qils.), Dayton (W. Va
and Meyer Qao) were appointed con-
ferees.

Parade of Strikers.
By the Associated Press.)


Roanoke, Va, June 1G.-According to
advices received by the Norfolk and
Western Railway Company today the
only deviation from the usual quiet that
has prevailed DIN the Pocahontas coal
region since the strike was inaugurated
was the parade of several parties of
strikers through the fields. Most of
them were accompanied by bands and
some of them were armed. These de-
monstrations later in the day We're
checked by the counselling of wiser
heads and the later reports indicate that
the armed bodies will give up their guns.
No serious trouble is anticipated.
The numerous meetings of the miners
on Sunday and the marching squads
have had the effect of somewhat lessen
ing the number of men who have been
returning to work. 1t is not thought
here that the strikers have gained any
recruits and it is known that some of
the men who were on strike last week
have returned to work today. In the
neighborhood of $50 cars of coal were
loaded on Saturday, which was a half
holiday. This was a gain Of about IS
cars on the previous day

Conditions in the Anthracite Field.
(By the Associated Press.)

Wilkcsbarre, Pa. June 16-The sixth
week of the anthracite coal miners
strike began today without a ripple to
disturb the calmness of the situation.
Several reports of assault on working
men and coal and iron police were re-
ceived from different sections of the
region, but no one was seriously injured.
Most of these attacks occur under the
cover of darkness or at starting time in
the morning. 1t was expected that today
would witness the refusal of a large
number OF fire bosses and other mine
bosses to go to work. but the best in
formation obtainable show that the num-
Der of men who quit was not large In
fact several of the mining superintend-
entS in this region assert that they had
more men at work at the engines and
pumps than they had last week Presi-
dent Mitchell and other labor leaders on
the contrary, claim that nearly half of
the men who We're at work on Saturday
refused to go into the collieries today.
Neither side gave out any figures.
Casper Clark, of Toledo. Ohio. Presi-
dent of the International Team Drivers
Association, came in for some attention
by labor leaders today. He submitted
to an interview, in which he said his
organization would do all it could to
help the striking miners. He said he
will make q thorough canvass of the
region to learn the sentiment of his
men, which will help to guide the ma
tional association if the miners should
ask the teamsters for help.
Nothing was given out at State head
quarters today. President Mitchell merely
said there was no change in either the
Anthracite or the West Virginia strike.

Newark, N. j., June 16.-Vice Chan
cellor Emory today gave an oral opinion,

a week ago by Miriam Berger, of Sulli-

bury, counsel for the United States Steel
Corporation, gave notice of appeal.
In his opinion, the Vice Chancellor
held that the retirement of preferred
stock constituted a preferential reduc-
tion of the corporations capital among
those asserting to the plan and a cor
responding impairment of the right Of
those not asserting. According to Vice
Chancellor's decision preferred stock
holders have vested property rights,
which cannot be impaired by a board of
