House Declines to Promote

sULZER BILL is DEFEATED

The House yesterday expressed its dis
approval of the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Sulzer of New York, proposing
to elevate Maj. Cen Daniel F.. Sfckles OF
New York to the rank of lieutenant
general on the retired list of the army
The vote against the measure was Ia
to 60.
Although the Sulzer bill was reported
favorably from the Committee on militar,
affairs the minority report against II
was signed by Representatives Hull OF
Iowa. chairman of the committee; Ste
vens Prince Hay and Slayden. MT
Prince led the fight against the Dill.
Gen Sickles,'' he said. lis man OF
great wealth This bill will simply ado
to the estate he will leave to MS ch'i'
dren.''
Mr. Prince also contended that to con-
fer this highest rank on Gen. Sickies
would constitute a reflection on other
great generals who had given equally
distinguished service to the nation ano
had not been so rewarded.
Speech of Mr.. Sulzer.
Mr.. SuIzer. the author of the bill. made
an excellent speech in advocacy OF us
passage.
This is what he said:
when the greatest war, in my JudS-
ment in the history of the world began
for human liberty, Gen. Daniel h. Sickles
was a member of this House from the
city of New York. He went to the Presl-
dent the greatest apostle of freedom In
this or any other age, abraham Lincoln
and offered to Lincoln his services to
save tae Union the noblest impulse that
ever animated the heart of man. Gen.
Sickles enlisted as private in the war.
Senator hannibal Hamlin insisted that
he ought to he an officer, because of his
military experience, he having been a
maior in the militia of the state OF New
York Then President Lincoln sent Tor
Sickfes and told him if he would organize
a regiment of volunteers he would APP
point him as the colonel.
''Sicl1les went back to New YORK. ana
at his own expense organized and equip
ped not one regiment of volunteers, but
five re giments. They We're mustered INTO
the service, and Abraham Lincoln nom-
mated and the Senate of the United
States confirmed. Sickles as colonel of the
1st Regiment of the Excelsior Brigade,
which made history. He was rapidly pro-
NOTED. and. he participated in every bat
tie of the Army of the Potomac. from
Bull Run to Gettysburg. He was NOM
mated by the President and confirmed
by the Senate as major general

FLAG ON LINCoLN's TOMB.
American Colors Placed Over the
Sarcophapus.

SPRINGFIELD, H., April 16.-The
sarcophagus bearing the body of Abra-
ham Lincoln redraped yesterday
with a new American flag given by Hi
nois members of the Woman's Relief
Corps. There were appropriate ceremo-
MES as the flag was placed about the
stone repository. Since 1899 il has been
the custom to cover the tomb of Lin
coin with the American flag. At that
time the flag was. given by the Mnneap-
oils Department, G.. a. r., and was pre-
scented on Memorial day. The second
flag was presented by the women of the
Ohio Relief Corps.

Reads Longstreet's Commentator.

Mr. Sulzer then read the letter which
was written to Gen. Sickles by Gen.
Longstreet, in 1902. The former Confed-
crate officer admitted that the advanced
position at the peach orchard taken by
your corps and under your orders saved
that battlefield for the Union cause"
Mr. SulZer denied the charge made by
Mr. Driscoi OF New York that Gen.
Sickles had loboied for the bill, and said
'fhe true soldiers and sailors of the
country. north and south the grizZled
veterans of the great conflict. petition
Congrt SIS to pass this til for Cen Sickies.
Large numbers OF the surviving officers
of the civil war desire to have this addi-
tional honor conferred upon the victor Of
Gettysburg. and it is confidently urged
that a grateful people, who realize the
sacrifices Sickles made, are anxious to
have the bill speedily passed.
"hen. Sickles' career is finished. He is
very old man. The assertion that the
enactment of this bill will create a bad
precedent is absurd Sicllles is the last
his case stands alone; there is no other
like IT.

Record at Gettysburg.

HE performed the most heroic serv-
ice as a corps commander at Malvern
Hill, at Antietam and at Spottslyvania,
but his eternal fame as a military chief
tain rests upon what he did at Gettys-
burg.
Il was surprised TO hear the gentleman
from Massachusetts tMr. Weeks say thai
If Sichles had not lost leg at Gettysburg
he would have been court-martialed. That
is absolutely false, and there Is not a
line i'm the records of the War Depart
ment that justifies that statement. l
challenge the gentleman from Massachu-
sets to prove his words.
''Sickles was in command of the Sd
Army Corps. 1t is we'll known that
neither Lee or Meade wanted to fight at
Gettysburg. But the battle was begun
the first DAY of July. and on that great
field of destiny the greatest republic that
sun or moon has ever looked upon was in
the balance.
ION the second day the Confederacy
had all the advantage. LOngstreet would
have won on that day If it had not been
for what Sickies did. Sickles took his
position in the peach orchard. He held
it there against the onslaught of the
battalions of Longstreet. He checked the
advance. He saved Little Round Top
and Little Round Top saved the battle OF
Gettysburg. and saved the Union

If any women desires to have a pretty

winter is the time 20 begin. And the
greatest cause of thin and discolored
necks is the wearing of high and tight
stiff linen collars. They act as a band
age and paralyze the muscle, hindering
the feeding Of the tissues and impeding
circulation. Much of this may be pre-
vented by wearing a collar half an inch
larger than is actually required. The
difference in size will not be noticed in
looks, but will be in the condition of
the neck.
The black note is emphasized even
more than ever in Paris this season,
ana many times black fur is used TO
produce this distinctive touch. Silky
black fur is used as trimming for
cloth and tailored costumes. Sometimes
it forms merely the deep sailor collar
and the buttons Of the coat, and then
again it is introduced as a deep band
&c the bottom OF the scant skirt, and
also forms narrow trimming band
where the very much double-breasted
coat fastens. Black fox is another very
popular fur, and ermine will be used
both with and without its black spots,
