Au jther figure was added this after noon to the distinguished array of watriot h, stateineii aud inventory whoso monuments, erected in Statu aty lnjl of the Unit d States Capitol, symbolize the regard in which they were held. General James Shields who was thuH honoied, was a favorite of three States, and his msIips rest in Mis souri, but Illinois, by resolution of ita legislature, decided that his statue bbould lie one of the two which it wan entit'ed to place in the Statury hall. Illinois, therefore, had the chief place in to day's ceremonies, but Missouri and Minnesota also took advantage of the opportunity to do special honor to the memory of their soldier of bygone days. Appropriate ceremonies and addresses by repre sentitive of the three States named marked the uuveihng of the statue, The ceremonies began at 1 o'clock with a small street parade, which was an incident rather than a feature of the occasion, a troop of cavalry from Fort Myer and the artillery baud stationed in this city escorting the speakers and guests from the Metropolitan hotel to the Capitol. Following thrt military were carri ages in which were Governor Alt geld and staff of Illinois, Goyernor Nelson and staff of Minnesota, Gov ernor Stone and staff of Missouri, the members of the Shields statue commission, the family, of General Shields, the committee of arrange. ments and the executive committee. Veterans of the Mexican war, mem bera of the G. A. R. aud of Emmett guards of this city brought up the rear. CEREMONIES AT THE CAPITOI. The exercises at the Capitol began at 1:30, when Mr. Springer present ed to the house the formal resolution accepting the statue on behalf of Congress. Advocating this, Mr. Springer, iu a breif speech, reviewed the life of Geaml Shields, aud paid a glowing tt tbute to his noble iuali ties Geueral John C Black followed. In the course of his remarks General Black said: The t-tatue i to stand through the ages for which the Capitol may eudure as a type chosen by our great State of its best citizenship. The State, as you cross it, is au a -bum where shines the names of Joliet the devout, of LaSelle the CJhevalier, of Maiquette the earnest and of a whole host of shadowy and heroic characters. Iu the seventy live years since our constitution was adopted, our bar and our courts have been thronged with wise and brilliant advocates and judges. Illi nois glories iu her sons, living and dead, and from all she has named the dauntless Shields, her citizen, her soldier, her Senator aud her judge, not that he is greatest of all, but that in addition to his public career, he stood for the broadest catholicity of Auierietiu citizenship. Mr. Canuon of Illinois, Mr Blaud of Missouri and Mr. ilall of Minue sota also paid feeling tributes to tht man upou whom such distin guished honor was conferred today. Colonel Oates, the ot,e armed Confederate veteran, threw a flavor of personal reminiscence into the proceedings, by arising at the close of the set speeches in the House, He apologized for intruding, but as a Confederate veteran under Stone wall Jackson, who had met General Shields on the field of battle at Port Republic, he said he could not refrain from saying a few words. He declared no soldier ever fought more bravely or gallantly than Shields at ! Port Republic. He honored him as highly as if he had fought on his own side. While the orations were being de livered the committee of arrange ments entered the House, and at the conclusion the members of the House and the visitors filed out to Staturday hall, where the unveiling took place. Mr. Condon of Chicago then de livered a long address iu t u'o-y of General Shields. At th- coi. elusion of his speech Miss K iU.aiL.e J Shields, the daughter of .hGei.er.. , drew aside the white drapery hat veiled the statue. and i h rs ic bronze the form and ri-me of tLe Geueral stood revealed Ti e pi in cipal oration of the day wa- theu de hvertd by G"V rnor A fg-ld .f 1 )i nois. who said: iOVEBSOB ALTOELls OKATIOS- Occasion of this kind ure not com mon, because lew men evtr render a service to mankind that iusur. s ihe gratitude of a nation. The bais of such den;o:-s'.iatio;js is gratitude, the gratitude of a people for th" i au. la Hi1 c ui ly day h htaturr, v. re built to wmiiors alone; as civilization pregressed the deeds of statesm. n aud honor ed bv a grateful people. The memory cf the man to day was worthy of a niche in the history for all these reasons he was a bril liant soldier; he helped lay th foundation of States, and he assist ed in guiding the destiny and bhap iug the institutions of the American Republic. Speaking of the fact of General Shields' foreign birth iu connection with his lofty patriotism, the speak er said that if the soul of Shields could animate this statue for an hour with what infinite scoru would his proud spirit look upon those men who having bled on no battle field, stormed the ramparts of no armed enemy, solved no great polit ical problems for humanity, now seek to turn the aecident of birth into a virtue by an act of Congress Closing with a reference to Shields' life long poverty, Governor Altgeld said: "Every age has produced millions of strong and industrious men, who kuew no higher God than the dollar; who coiued their lives in to sordid gold: who gave no thought to blessing the world or lifting up humanity; men who owned ships aud palaces aud riches of earth, who gilded meanness into splendor, aud theu sank into oblivion. Posterity erected no statues to these men's memory. Let young men of Ainer ica learn from this statue, and the career of Shields, that the paths cl virtue and henor, of glory aud iix mortality, are open to them." SENATOR VEST'S ADDRESS. Senator Vest also delivered an ad. dress, iu which he said: jussoun mauKB Illinois lor plac ing in the Capitol the statue of Gen eral James Shields with that Abraham Liucoln, her most distiu guished citizen.

The statue is the work of Leonard Wellsvoke of Chicago, who has made some famous statues of public men, among them Lincoln, Douglas, Clay, Chandler and Eiihu B. Washburne. General Shields enjoyed the dis tinction of being the hero of two wars, of having represented in the U- S. senat three States Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri of havinsr been Governor of a fourth Oregon and of having begun a career, cut short by the war in a fifth Califor nia. His last public act was to pre side over a political couventiou iu still an auother State Wisconsin. He was born in Ireland in 1810, and came to tuis country in 1S26 Dur ing thost early days i i Illiuois he challenged Abraham Lincoln to fight a duel, the cause of which has always been somewhat of a raysterv. Liucoln accepted the challenge and named broadswords as the weapons but the duel never came off. Per sonally he was a brilliant, dashing man, brave as a lion in battle, with a heart as soft as a woman's' in dis position roving and adventurous, a man whose personality held the im agination and fascinated the eye.
