THE BLUE AND GRAY.
Memorial Services Over COnfed-
crate Graves in Arlington.
In Spirit of Good Will and Fraternity
Services Were Also Held over
the Graves of the Unknown
Dead Union Soldiers.

Washington, June 6.-In the pres
ence of thousands of former confeder-
ate and former union soldiers and of
numbers of officers of the United
States army and the G. A r. the first
formal memorial exercises ever held
over the graves in the confederate sec
tion of Arlington cemetery took place
Sunday AS the result of a movement
initiated by the late President McKin-
ley the confederate dead have now
been gathered in one large and beauti-
full circle in the southern part of the
cemetery where the graves have been
marked with separate stones.
The exercises Sunday were opened
with music by the 18th cavalry band.
In spirit of good will and fraternity
after the exercises over the graves of
the confederate dead those in charge
Of the services repeated them over the
graves of the 1000 unknown union
dead and decorated the graves with
flowers. Rev. Alexander w Pitzer
pastor of the Southern Presbyterian
church in this city, and an ex-cOnfeder.
ate soldier, was the orator of the day.
He referred to the fact that the gov
ernment of the United States, through
representatives of it's army, was par
ticipating in the exercises and that
the government had collected the re-
mains of the confederate soldiers and
had erected suitable stones to mark
their graves. He asked the ex-confed-
crates present if they would not recog-
nize that as true magnanimity. He re-
ferred feelingly to the interest Mr.. Nc
Kinley, while a member of congress,
had taken in the proper care by the
government of the graves of the con
federate dead and how the establish
ment of a confederate section in Ar
lingtOn was a fulfillment of Mr.. McKin-
ley's cherished hope.
The exercises were brought to a
close by Rev. DR.. Prettyman, who pray
ed for the living representatives of
those who fell on both sides and for
the coming of universal peace and
good will which the ceremonies Of the
day foreshadowed.

RIOT AT TIE FAIR GROUNDS.
Crowd incensed Over Failure to ses
a Spanish Ru.l Eight.

st. Louis. June 6.-Incensed over
their failure to see a genuine Spanish
bull fight which the authorities had
ordered stopped, riot was started in
an arena near the Worlds fair ground
Sunday evening by a crowd of 2,5OG
men and boys who were unable to get
their money back, and the building
was burned to the ground. Four men
were placed under arrest, charged with
the destruction of property. The
crowd, thinking these men were con
nected with the show, made an attempt
20 mob them and on their encounter
with the deputy sheriffs a number were
roughly handled and some received
scalp wounds. The building is said to
have cost $4,000. 1t is a total loss
with no insurance, it is reported.
The initial performance by the com
pany of Spanish bull fighters had bees
advertised for Sunday, but Gov. Dock.
cry, to whom numerous protests had
been made, ordered that it should not
be allowed to take place Despite
these orders, a large crowd assembled
IN the arena at the advertised time OF
opening. Before the regular perform
ance number of cowboys drove il
some bulls which they ran around the
arena in true wild west style. The
crowd soon became tired of this and
called for the bull fight
The announcement was then made
that the bull fight would be proceeded
with. AS the matadOrs came into the
ring a county official handed the an
nOuncer a paper informing him that
the proposed show could not take
place. When this became known to
the crowd, they leaped into the arena
and demanded the return of their mon
ey. Failing in this the crowd went to
the Office, which was located in a small
building outside the arena, and began
10 stone the structure. This was fol
lowed by attempts to burn the arena
which was an immense building con
structed Of pine. Their efforts were
finally successful and the whole struc
ture was soon in ruins.
A call was made for the fire depart
ment but the single engine that re
spOnded became stuck in the mud and
there was nothing to stop the progress
OF the flames.

on consignment and inasmuch as that
company had aid freight on same In
