q The Finance Committee OF tho Coun-
ell after hearing number Of representa-
tiyes OF the association and the architects
and real estate men in regard to the
Davis monument decided, on motion of
Mr. Pollock. to recommend to the Council
an ordinance, approving the site at the
intersection Of Cedar Street and AIonu-
ment Avenue; giving $1,000 for the fonnda-
tion and directing the city attorney to
acquire enough property to widen the
street at that point and to give the site
to the oriation. The entire cost to the
city will be- about 81 600.
The association has in hand about
$4,000, which is sufficient to build the
monument. This amount has beeh raised
by the various Southern States.
The monument is going to be splendid
tribute to President Davis and will be
one OF the most commanding and beau
.tiful Of all those erected here to southern
heroes.

OF END
OF THE STRIKE.

(Byt Associated Press)
FALL, FLYER, MASS, September 20
The first intimation Of a settlement Of
the strike in the cotton mills in this city,
which began ON July 25tl. came to-day
when 1t become known that one Of the
manu- faoturers had bought}a large quaint
ity of raw cotton to be delivered the lat
ter part Of October, and that other manu-
facturers were trying to place similar or
ders. ut is the general belief that any
settlement of the strike within the next
two or three weeks will be in favor of the
operatives.
There is little talk Of compromise.
Both sides realize that the strike SO far
has been merely a skirmish and that The.
crisis is vet to come. With tho approach
Of winter the strikers will find v more
difficult to earn alivng outside the mills,
and the manufacturers also will lose a
large and profitable amount Of business
unless the mills can be operated.

Department to-day. Regarding marriage
in the army. General Corbin says:
Marriage Of army officers who have
made no proper provision for assuming
the responsibility therefor is hurtful both
to the army and to tho officers them
selves. To this broad statement there
are. of course. exceptions. as there are
to all broad statements, hut the general
fact remains that our army Is overmar-
sried. The pay OF subaltern officer is
barely enough for his proper support
and the expenses Of his equipment and
uniform
II to this is added the Inevitable ex-s
5penses attached to a family it is not
only probable, but almost certain that
when an officer strikes his balance at
the end OF the year he will be behind
IL he has no income but his pay.
II am firmly OF the opinion that no
officer should enter the marriage rela-

of the War Department. sad that as
necessary condition thereto his income
after his marriage should be sufficient
to support himself and family, and. above
all. II he is stoslive on his pay. he should

The best opinion here Is that no real at

that as soon as 1t becomes apparent that Y
