the Mormon question and the req
sons for the failure of some very
important legislation:

the republicans split early in the
session on measures pledged in the

widened until now II seems i'm.

"The anti-pass bill and anti
trust bill, employers liability, d.
rect primary, test oath and other
important reform measures we're
killed, the antitrust, employers
liability and the test oath measures

Of all these important measures is
due entirely to the republican M.
jority in the senate. The bills not
killed outright were 90 emasculated
as to make them purely sham
and the house refused to accept the
amendments. The only measure
Of great importance pledged in the
platform was the eight bonr bill.

man last night. President j. Taylor
Ellyson, Of the Confederate Memorial
Association. asked permission to erect
in Monroe Park at or near the centre a
suitable fireproof building. or Battle
Abbey. to eseryes therein the memo- mo
pu...lng will cost about 100000.
4 The petition states that that sum
is now In bank for the purpose. At
ter inspecting number of sites the
executive committee decided that Mon
roe. Park was most suitable. and is
prepared tc proceed with the struc-
ture as soon as authority has been
granted. Alderman Whittet, who pre-
sented the petition. had it referred
to the Committee on Grounds and Pub
lie Buauings for Immediate considera-
tion.
1t will be good news to Confederates
throughout the South to learn that
the long expected Battle Abbey is
shortly to be erected, made possible
by a liberal beQuest from Mr.. Charles
Broadway Rouss, OF Winchester and
New York. and holding the note of the
soity of Richmond for contribution
provided the memorial be placed
here. the city to provide the site. The
Battle Abbey fund has been recruited
from all parts of the country, until
100000 is now in bank for the erec-
tion Of the building. In general. 1t is
proposed as a memorial where all the
Confederate interests may centre,
providing a museum and public hall,
portrait gallery and meeting place
for all kinds Of Confederate memorial
bodies, and a permanent fire-proof
depository for Confederate relics OF
all kinds.
