The monument is fourteen feet high and

I'd Division, which had the advance OF the
corps, arrived at Cemetery Hill at pm,
at the time when the 1st and 11th Corps
were falling back through the town and oc-
cupying this position. Geary reported to
Hancock who ordered him to occupy with
his division the high ground to the right
Of and near Round Top mountain Geary's
report states that at pm. this movement
was consummated.'
The statement in Gen. Howard's report
that about Z pm. Gems. Slocum and
Sickles arrived at the cemetery" refers to
these generals in person and not to their
commands as Gen. Slocum's 18th Corps
had been up since pm. There seems to
be no authority for the statement that Gen.
Sickles moved to the sound of the guns
without orders, as indicated by Col Cal
houn or that "Gens. Hancock, Sheridan,
Sherman and Others" under the same cir
cumstances, would have gone to Gen. How
ards relief more promptly than did Gen.
Slocum Marched to the sound of the
guns'' is a pretty phrase and sounds well.
yet there are times. as in this instance.
when the same is wholly inapplicable.

Anacostia and Vicinity.

The proposition advanced before the
Commissioners of the District of opening a
street to be known as 18th street, between
Minnesota avenue and Harrison street has
been favorabIy commented upon by citi-
zens of the town. When the question of
opening the highway named was broached
to the Commissioners they agreed to in
clude an estimate for the work In their
next estimate to Congress providing the
Citizens Association of the town approved
the plan. This. 1t is said, will be done The
cutting through of 18th street would mean
the further development OF a. suburban sec
ton to which just now the tide of building
improvements In this place is fast setting.
The death of Mrs. Julia Montgomery
formerly Miss Meehan, who at one time
resided with her parents on Jefferson street

companied yesterday from Philadelphia to

WARNER ON NATIONAL ISSUES.
Expressions Of Missouri Senator at
Kansas City Banquet.

Senator-elect Warner, the first republican
to be chosen to the Senate from Missouri
since Carl Schurz was named in 1869, was
guest of honor at a farewell banquet in
Kansas City last night. Six hundred re-
publicans from Missouri and Kansas at
tended, and toasts Were responded to by
several prominent politicians. Gardiner
Lathrop of Chicago, general counsel of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway,
was toastmaster. Senator Warner spoke
to the toast, National Issues and said
in part:
THE demand of the hour In official life
is intellectual honesty. a demand for Of
ficials to act right, as well as to think
right: officials who hew to the line Of duty
as God gives them light to see their duty,
letting the chips fall where they may.
"The Presidents efforts to secure legis-
lation clothing the Interstate commerce
commission with power to insure a square
deal between common carriers and ship
pers have my unqualified support. The
rebate evil, which gives the dishonest deal
er an unfair advantage over the honest one
should be driven from the channels of com
merce under the lash of the law If this
is not done 1t will be because the honest car
riers and the shippers of our country fail to
cooperate with the national administra-
ton In enforcing law
Senator Warner, speaking of the recent
insurance exposures, said:
Life insurance companies are to a great
extent the savings banks of the people
and should by legislation be placed under
as strict surveillance as national banks
and the misappropriation or embezzlement
of funds by their officials should be de-
clared to be felony, punishable by i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary. If war
rant can be found in the Constitution of
the United States for such legislation by
the general government. OF which there is
grave doubt, 1t shall receive my support" :"
Speaking of the tariff, Senator Warner
said:
Grounded as / am in the protective tar

any schedule"
Senator Warner said that Congress should
take no backward step in the reclama ton

Mayor Will Turn Reformer and Defy
Murphy Machine.

Mayor Mcclellan, 1t was learned in New
York yesterday, is going to turn reformer.
With his political life insured for four
years, he is in position to defy the Murphy
machine and this he is going to do with
out personally attacking Murphy himself.
From people close to the mayor 1t was
learned yesterday that the following heads
of departments will not serve after Jan
uary l next:
William McAdoo, police department.
Maj. John MEG. Woodbury., street clean
ing department.
George E. Best, bridge department.
Maurice Featherson, dock department
John T. Oakley. water supply, gas and
electricity department.
Featherson and Oakley are district lead
ers.
All might have been we'll IL Tammany
had demonstrated at the polls on Tuesday
that 1t retained the confidence of the peo-
pie. Mayor Mcclellan has tangible proof
that 1t has not that confidence. He was
saved from defeat by republican votes. 1t
Is his present intention to make good"
This is what he said in his speech of ac-
ceptance at Carnegie Hall on the night of
October 5:
Membership in this administration will
not Of itself entitle any man to retention in
the next administration should 1 be re-
elected. IF | believe that the interests OF
the city will be better served by a change
at the head of any apartment, that change
will be made. and no amount of clamor
from either without or within the party
will make me follow a different course.
If on the other hand, | believe that the
retention of any head Of department will
best serve the public interest, that public
official Will be retained, and no amount of
clamor from either without or within the
party Will force me to remove him."
On the Saturday night before election
Charles f. Murphy turned over to Mayor
Mcclellan little slip containing the infor-
nation that Tuesday he, Mcclellan,
would carry New York city by a majority
of 1900 over Hearst and Ivins combined.
and that his plurality in the county would
be 72,0O0. He won by a beggarly 1000
less in the greater city, and the borough Of
Richmond gave him large part of this.
Mayor Mcclellan has the slip. He is going
to frame it.. 1t is proof that Charles +.
Murphy, depending on his district Leaders.
knew little of what was going on in the
