Twenty-Five Tons.

The process of moving the block of
twenty-five tone is very slow and ardu-
GUS 1t is lnehed along on a wooden plat
form placed on wooden rollers and drawn
by an engine. AS the block goes on, the
rollers are taken out from behind and
placed in the front, and this process IS
continued during the whole journey.
Several blocks OF granite of this size
have taken their passage in this manner.
One was drawn along by fourteen mules,
and the trip took three weeks. But the
blocks are now being moved by the sta
tionary engine.
Progress on the monument is being made
at an astonishingly rapid rate. A great
deal of the dressed granite and one OF
the columns have been put in place. The
memorial will be of a colossal size and
will be visible for great distance. 1t
will satnd in huge circle and will BE-
located on West Monument Avenue, about
200 yards from the Boulevard.

Anti-Annexation Circular.

Several Misunderstanding have within
the past day or so received by mail copies
of a circular that bears no name and
which is proposed to set forth the objec-
tions to the consolidation of the two
cities. This circular, printed in miniature
newspaper style, says that the consoli-
dalton OF Manchester and Richmond will
do great harm to Manchester citizens.
1t further gives an argument along this
line.
But down in the paper, leaving aside
the question of the accuracy of the rest
OF the statements. is the assertion. made
prominent by large type, that the Rich
mond newspapers declined to print tho
resolutions anent to annexation that were
offered in the City Council OF Manches-
ter.
All readers Of The Times-Dispatch know
this to be untrue. Every resolution that
has been offered In either the Board OF
Aldermen or the CITY Assembly, has been
printed in this paper and In the Man
chester column. The phraseology might
not have been the same as the rcsolu-
lions, for there are few resolutions, in
deed, that are printed verbatim. But tho
substance OF each of them was told in
The Timcs-Dispatch.
Tho files OF the paper show tho truth
OF the assertion. Tho circular that is
being SO energetically circulated, Is not
signed. nor Is there any mark on 1t to
show In which printing Office It was pub
lIshcd.

tered upon at once, especially as an
inquiry had been "courted' by the pres
ident in his message transmitting tc
the senate the report of the isthmian
canal commission, which was read and
discussed Monday and referred to the

committee agreed that there should be
an inquiry and the scope was consid
cred at length. There seemed to be a
sentiment in favor of reviewing the
work of the canal commission from
its inception. Senator German drafted
q resolution for Introduction in the
