last Memorial day was observed in this
city.
Mr.. Holloway's address was devoted
to the eulogizing of the valiant heroes
of the SOS and as is usual on such oc-
casions, glowing tributes were paid to
the blue and gray, but Mr.. Holloway
also took occasion to deplore the pro-
fanatiOn of the sacred day by field
sports.
He spoke of the deep impression
made on him when as a boy be heard
the eloquent eulogy of Grant by the
distinguished Senator BailC on the ,.--
casion of the illustrious federal gener-
ais death.
One of the principal points brought
out in the address was the effect OF
the civil war on the progress and civ
ilzation of the world. The speaker de-
voted great part of his time in show
ing the evils of slavery and how the
ancestors of the English speaking race
had once labored under the oppres-
sion of the Romans.
Mr.. Holloway closed his Grafton
with a beautiful tribute to the fast
thinning Grand Army of the Republic
and he praised the work of the faith
keep sacred the memories of those
other heroes who fought and died in
the stirring days of the SOS.

TO
EXPLORE CONGO
Concession is Granted bu
Belgian King

ANTWERP, May 3O.-The mineral
sent out by the International Forestry
company. in which Thomas f. Ryan
and other New Workers. are interested,
will depart from here tomorrow for
LuebO. in the Congo, by way Of Bona.
Prospecting will commence Immediate
ly upon the arrival of the party. The
expedition is headed by r. Dorsey Mo-
hun, well known explorer and former
American consular agent at Bona. 8.
w. Ball is the geOlogist of the ex-
pedition.
The American company received
from King Leopold last November, a
grant for rubber and other explOita-
ton of about 2.500000 acres for so
years. The concessions include not
only exploitation of the India rubber
resources of the country, but fran
chise to construct a railroad, and min
ing leases over a territory rich in cop
per and half as large as the territory
of Alaska. There is silver also and
some gold, as well as other valuable
minerals, but the principal reliance of
the prOspectOrs is upon copper. 1t is
accordingly to copper mining that the
company will first devote it's energies.
The concession TO the Americans is
generally regarded as a clever move
on the part of King Leopold to involve
the United States in any future inter-
complication which may
owing to the conduct of affairs of the
state. Those interested i'm

as well as vast wealth. Besides Mr..
Ryan, they include the Messrs. Gug-

ument we today unveil, by his life bore
singular testimony to the complete
ness of the reunion. General Lawton
in his youth fought gallantly in the
civil war. Thirty three years after
wafE he again marched to war THIS
time against a foreign foe and served
with distinguished ability and success
as a general officer, both in Cuba ana
in the Philippines. When he thus
served it was in an army whose gen.
erals included not only many of his
old comrades in arms, but some of his
old opponents also, as General Wheel

and in the ranks, were many men
whose fathers had worn the blue serv-
ing side by side with others whose fa-

Americans now, and nothing but
Americans, all united in their fealty
and devotion to their common flag and
their common country, and each know
ing only the generous rivalry with his
fellows as to who could best serve
the cause for which each was ready to
lay down life itself. To General Law
ton it befell actually to lay down his
life; a tragedy, but one of those noble
tragedies where our pride rises above
our sorrow. For he died in the fullness
of time, serving his country with en-
tire devotion-a death that every man
may we'll envy.
