Mcclellan expected, Lees purpose was to

With this view he had massed Jackson $

carry the nights by Storm. Previously to
the attack, the Confederate commander
issued IN order stating that positions We're
selected from which his artillery could

as that was done, Armisteads Brigade Of
Huger's Division would advance with a
shout and carry the battery immediately

sundown."(2O But whether the others
did not hear what Hill heard, or whether
what they heard was not taken for the sig

the action. But Jackson was delayed
nearly all day by the rebuilding Of the
bridge over the Chickahominy, and did not
get up, and Sumner held his own with the
stubbornness that marked that soldier; so
that Magruder, assailing his position in
successive charges till dark, met only
bloody repulses. Thus stout Sumner stood
at bay, while, thanks to the barrier he OPP
posed, the mighty caravan Of artillery and
wagons and ambulances moved swiftly,

wilds, all day and all night, without chal-

suers again in contact with the army,
which was found occupying q commanding
ridge, extending Obliquely across the line
Of march, in advance of Malvern Hill. In
front OF this strong position the ground
was open, varying in width from a. quar-
ter to half mile, slOping gradually from
the crest, and giving a free field OF fire.
The approaches were over broken and
thickly wooded country, trayersed nearly
throughout its whole extent by a swamp
passable at but few places, and difficult
at those.l24 On this admirable position
Gen. Mcclellan had concentrated his army,
prepared TO receive final battle.
MCLELLAN's MEN ON MALVERN.
The left and center were posted on NAL
yern Hill, an elevated plateau about a
mile and half by three-fourths Of mile
in area; the right was refused" curying
backward through wooded region to-
wards point below Haxalrs Landing, on
James River. Judging from the obvious
lines of attack that the main effort would
be made against his left, Gen. Mcclellan
posted on Malvern Hill heavy masses OF
infantry and artillery. Porter's Corps
held the left, and the artillery of his two
divisions, with the artillery reserve, gave
a concentrated fire Of 60 guns. Couch's
Division was placed on the right Of Por-
ter; next came Kearny and Hooker; next,
Sedgwick and Richardson; next, Smith
and Sl0cum; then the remainder Of
Keyes's Corps, extending by n backward
curve nearly to the river. While the left
was massed, the right was more deplOyed.

The Army of the Potomac Abandons the York
River Line, and Takes Up a Position On the
James-Bitter Fighting On the Wsy.

With the transfer of the right wing to
the south side of the ChickahoDiny, the
Army of the Potomac turned its back on
the Confederate Capital and all the high
hopes the advance had inspired. 1t was
no longer a question of taking Richmond,
but of making good the retreat to the
James, with victorious enemy in the
rear. Mcclellan had still, however, GER
tain advantage of his opponent: he had a
dererm:hate course of action resolved on

in process of execution; while Lee re-
manned still in doubt as to his adversary S

While these events were passing at
Glendale, Jackson, detained by the yigor-
ous opposition he met on the other side of
White Oak Swamp, could only hear the
telltale guns: he was impOtent to help. (23)
Thus it was that Mcclellan, holding par

Der of laborers from the negroes of the Southern States, but we could not get enough to build the canal The negroes of the South would not leave their pres eht employment for this work in suf- fcient numbers" The admiral thought that at the beginning the work would be prosecuted by negro labor from Ja- maica, but that later Chinese coolies would be secured At present about 700 persons are employed on the canal and before long a number will be added to work with the surveying parties which will shortly take the field.
 MT. Davenport's association Is very much interested in the subject as many of it's members are large contractors. dredgers, manufacturers of machinery etc, doing government work and they hope to secure contracts in connection with the construction of the canal. On this point the admiral stated that 1t would not be decided whether the work would be done by the commission itself or let out by contract until after all the plans wore made and the commits sion knew just what should be done.
 In the one case the labor would have to be secured by the commission and in the other by the contractor. As to the point of Jurisdiction on which MT. Davenport seemed to be in doubt, the admiral said he thought the matter would rest entirely with the canal com mission unless Congress should other wise determine.

 Tuscaloosa May 27.-(Special. 1.-The graduating exercises of the training school of the Alabama Insane Hospi- tai took place last evening at o'clock in the amusement hall at the hospital pr. James T. Searcy Superintendent. made a short and interesting address. He stated that owing to the recent death of Miss Garrett, member of the Junior Class, the exercises were to be very simple. He stated that the train ing school, which is one of the eldest fin. the South, graduated it's first class in 1896, after a two years course. 5n his brief history of the founding of the Alabama Insane Hospital, Dr. Searcy stated that in the early part of the last century many of the insane were cared for by different counties and cities, when it was finally decided that such unfortunates could best be cared for by the State. About fifty years ago the first medical association z of Alabama passed resolutions request ing the State Legislature to make pro- visions for caring for the insane In 1851 Mrs Dorothy Dix came from New York to Alabama to assist in securing the establishment of such a hospital. After visiting all of the important towns in the State she made her re- port to the Legislature and an appro- priation of $200,00O was made for the erection of an asylum for the insane at Tuscaloosa. The appropriation was considered too large at that time so 1t was eight years before the building u,as completed. In 1860 the trustees elected the first superintendent. the late Dr Peter Bryce.

 He took 1t for granted Congress would be asked to extend the opera tions of the eight hour act to cover the canal zone, but as the matter stands he thought 1t would require spe- eial legislation by Congress or by the commission as he did not think the act would apply ex proprio vigore. He an- ticipated that all the questions affect ing the labor on the canal would be thrashed out before the work was in- augurated on large scale.

The cashier looked in vain for a c. and the editor of The Press for a P, but these two letters were evidently not in the al- phabet of that old hen.
 The Hearst advocates will take this as a good omen, for their favorite can didate. But 1t does not disturb us the least bit, for that old hen had evidently been in company that had persuaded her he was right. That free silver hen is evidently playing in the wrong back yard.

LABOR AND THE CANAL
QUESTIONS TO BE SOLVED BY THE

Rear Admiral Walker Discusses the Point Raised by Daniel Davenport Regarding the S-HOur Law
 of 1892.
Advertiser Bureau, Colorado Building. Washington. May 2T.


 The attention of former Rear Admi- ral Walker. president of the Isthmian Canal Commission being directed to the report that Daniel Davenport or Bridgeport. Conn. was one of tAe at torneys and the executive agent of the American Anti Boycott Association. had raised the question of whether the eight hour law of 1892 applied to the construction of the Panama canal. Ad- miral Walker said that as the question had not been officially presented to the commission he could not attempt to foreshadow the attitude the com mission would take.
 The problem of labor supply would require careful consideration aside from the number of hours per diem. Such labor as could be procured should be employed. There had been some talk of an attempt to limit the work on the canal to American labor. Such action as that" said the Admiral would. l believe, prevent the copstruction of the canal.
