Gordon, establishing a memorial fes tival day to be celebrated under the auspices and control of the noble women of the south. It is a docu ment that will appeal strongly to the hearts of all who venerate pure and gentle womanhood, and who ap preciate the performance of high and holy duties. The memorial festival day will be an event long to be re membered in the annals of the south. It will enable our war worn veterans and our young manhood tu show their gallantry and chdlry by en rolling themselves under the banner of the estimable ladies who are to conduct thisgrer t memorial festival. Hdqrs. Unied States Confederate Veterans, New Orleans, La., Dec. ,7, 1S95. The pvogress made by the able and distinguished committee appointed in general orders Nos. 145 and 146 from these headquarters to examine into and report upon the plans sub raitted by the great philanthropist and benefactor, Charles Broadway Roues, for the establishment of a grand memorial hall, where confed erate relics and mementoes are to be disposed for all time, and which is to become "Battle Abbey" of the south, must be very gratifying to the old veterans and to all those who love the traditions of the south and who cherish the memories of the oourage and heroism of their sons and the unparalleled devotion of their noble and self-sacrificing women. This splendid committee has now successfully launched the grand en terprise, and through their action and that of the sub committees, have formulated a mode of proced ure which, if energetically carried out, cannot fail of success. It will be remembered that the generous and large-hearted donor, Mr. Charles Broadway Iiouss, who alone conceived the project for the perpetuation of the history and glory of his countrymen, presented a plan for its consummation to the veterans at the Houston reunion, at the same time subscribing 100,000 as his in dividual subscription to assist in carrying out his grand views and ideas, conditioned upon the veterans raising a like amount- To raise this 100,000 additional, TIME Oil and enough more to endow and in sure the perpetuation of the instil tion is the all absorbing --alter which now occupies the - attention and efforts of the committee. It is believed tha. 'jne half of the amount required will be raised through the subscription of the mcrs than 50,000 members of the U. C. V. Association, and which will enti tle them to certificate showing their contribution, thus giving each con tributor an interest in this glorious enterprise which is so near and so dear to the heart of every veteran and it is considered to be sure and beyond peradventure that the other half or balance, whatever may be re quired, will be raised by the noble women of the south. The committee suggests that the most feasible manner of reaching the desired object is to set apart a "Memorial Festival Day," aud they ask that the general commanding will designate the date, and I issue a general order. Tne general commanding, there fore, in compliance with the request of the committee designates, Friday May 1, 1895, as the most suitable for a "Memorial Festival Day," to be set apart for the use of the wo men of the south in raising funds for the great memorial hall All the details and exercises of this "Memorial Festival Day," are to be planned, conducted and carried out entirely under the orders, con trol, ideas and management of the women of the south in their respec tive localities. For in whose hands could this sa cred trust more properly be placed, and with more certainty of success, than into those of the gentle women of the south, who have never yet faltered or failed in performance of any duty, either in war or in peace, imposed upon them for the south ern cause. Their spirit and determination an imated the men cf the south at the scene of the first conflict; they were the most constant and remitting pat riots and workers during their couri try's travail, and the last to be abat don the sacred cause after southern hopes vanished behind the clouds at Appomattox. The true history of their deed and triumphs has not yet been told. No historian has yet written the story, nor muse sung the song, nor House own minstrel strung the lyre, to fitly cel ebrate their praise. The straits to which they were re duced for food and clothing, the self-abnegation and hardships en dured by them during those dark and gloomy days of war finds no parallel in history; their patriotism and courage will be written in gold en letters upon the tables of time, ! ineffaceable and ineradicable while memory lasts, and, as ministering angels, their names will live upon the pages of poetry and romance as long as chivalry exists in the hearts and minds of mankind. This "battle abbey" will not be dedicated alone to the history and deeds of the civic and military he roes of the greatest of civil wars, but the general commanding will see that within its sacred portals suffi cient and conspicuous space will be reserved fcr the names and fame of the ''heroines of the south." As yet only wandering trouba dours like the bards of the middle ages, journeying from castle to cas tle, have very faintly sung their praise, but the tender and sacred memories which cluster with a halo of love and veneration around their living and dead, demands that their names and the story of their glory be gathered ere it is too late, and that some master, whose pen is in spired with celestial fire, and whose touch is mellowed and hallowed by the richness and the grandeur of the theme, shall mingle and blend them with their glorious achieve ments into a southern spic, glowing with tributes ot their unparalleled history, to be deposited in this sane tuary of southern valor. Here iu this temple of fame, which is to be dedicated to all the people of the coming centuries, in a niche carved out by the Btory of their wondrous deeds and glory, a monu ment will also arise, commensurative of the courage and fame of the "he roines ot the south" a name which will ever be proudly linked in his tory with those of 'Roman Matron" and "Sparian Mother." For did net ev jry southern mother, like the "Ro man Matron," exclaim: "These are my jewels?" and did not their forti tude and heroism rise to even su premer heights? For they sent their offspring bravely and loyally to bat tle for their country, and with the "Spartan Mother's" injunction: "Re turn your shield, or on it." It is to the survivors of these illus trious women and to their descend ants to whom the general command ing, therefore, confidentally intrusts this important mission of assisting in this holy undertaking. The general commanding appeals to and urges those heroic women, survivors of a heroic age, and all the daughters of the south who take pride in the history of such worthy and glorious ancestors, to immedi ately, upon the receipt of thi3 order, organize eocieties and elect presi dents, secretaries, treasurers and other officers, in every city, town and hamlet and neighborhood in the south, and to notify Col. R. C Wood, general manager of the con federate memorial association, No 44 Perdido street, New Orleans, La. so that he can at once supply in structions, and that they will com mence without delay the collection of funds for the erection of this de pository of the records of the valor of southern manhood and the hero ism of southern womanhood, and, continue their efforts systematically, making the "memorial festival day, May 1, 1896. the culmination of their efforts. The money raised by each society and in each locality must be depos ited in some good bank or other safe depository, to the order of the Unit ed confederate veterans for the use of the confederate memorial associa tion, to remain until oalled for by proper authority. In the meantime, each society or locality where money is raised will report the amount collected to Col onel R. C. Wood, general manager of the confederate memorial associa tion, No. 44 Perdido street, New Orleans, La., so that an idea can be formed of the total amount thus se cured. The general commanding requests the old veterans composing the 721 united confederate veteran camps of this association to render all the as sistance possible to the ladies en gaged in this holy cause. The general commanding also re quests that every newapaper throughout the south and elsewhere favorable to this grand historic en terprise will publish this order, and with editorial comment give it widest publicly.

SENATOR SHERMA5 AGAINST A WAR. lie Itelieve That (ireat lirttaln Has Toe Much at Stake to Invito a Hostile luoounttr with This Country. Uismxerox, lec 2a AY hen the house Venezuelan bill was laid before the senate, Mr. Morgan immediately moved to refer it to the committee on foreign relations, and took the tloorin support of his motion. The senate should not be hasty, he said. The bill should be, in his opinion, deliberated upon as lonj as necessary to secure an absolutely correct judgment and he believed that it should tirst have its consideration in the commit tee, but and here he paused he wanted it distinctly understood that he would oppose such a reference unless it was made with the distinct tinder standing that congress should not take t' holiday recess until it was re port hi oaek. The question presented was whether congress should at this time blaze the policy of the United States or leave it in the president's hands as still in the field of diplomacy. So far as the Monroe doctrine was con cerned, that had been definitely settled by the action of the president. Mr. Cleveland's message, and more particularly Mr. Olney's note to the British prime minister, placed the Mon roe doctrine in a clear, substantial and unequivocal light before the world.and any action congress took in affirming it, whether by the passage of the house bill, amended or unamended, could not be mistaken. Mr. Morgan congratulated the country that the consummation had been reached. Mr. Sherman followed Senator Mor gan, saying that he heartily applauded what had been said by Mr. Morgan. He thought the resolution should be amended and that it should go to the committee for this purpose. "There is no hurry," he said. "The contro versy will not be settled in a day or a month, and 1 do not believe that a war between Great Britain and the United States will form a feature of the settlement I do not contemplate or wish to contemplate ahostile result 1 have seen enough of war to dread its consequences and 1 believe that Great Britain will soon realize that she has too much at stake to invite a hostile encounter with this country." But while he held this view he be lieved the president to be right in tak ing the position that the United States as the strongest nation on this hemi sphere should not permit weaker na tions on this side of the Atlantic to be trampled upon by European powers. Nor did he believe that the English people would support their officials in refusing to submit the question to arbitration. Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, fol lowed in a vigorous speech. He said that he was not in haste, but he thought the time for the committee to report should be limited, and gave no tice of an amendment providing that the committee should report by April 1. He did hot think that the Monroe doctrine could be upheld as a proposi tion of international law. but he be lieved that it should be supported as the declaration of independence was supported, because it was an American doctrine. Mr. Voorhees spoke in favor of im mediate action. Great Britain took months to say that she xvould not arbi trate. He thought this country should not make any further delay, but ap point a commission to see what be longed to Great Britain, and give her that and no more. He did not believe there was any danger of war, but thought the dignity of the United States demanded that congress should act without any further delay. Mr. Chandler sent to the desk and had read a petition dated February 19, 180.", to the president and congress of the United States, signed by several hundred members of the British house of commons, praying that the United States would enter into a treaty for the arbitration of all international questions. Mr. Chandler made no com ment on the petition. Mr. Teller fol lowed with a speech and said should we go to war we would not be without allies and he sketched the conflicting interests with European powers. On Mr. Alltti's objection the bill went over till to-day. After a short executive session the senate adjourned. VICTIMS OF PERJURY. The iovernor of Mhtoarl Pardon Four Men Who Were Convicted of Robbery. Jeffeksos City, Mo., Dec. 20. Gov. Stone granted pardons to four men, Thomas Mooney, William Shad wick and Richard and John CaDtlin, who were convicted in St Louis in of robbing John Dougherty of S47 at a boarding house in St Louis and sen tenced to five years each. For some time there has been a feeling that these men were wrongfully con victed, and Got. Stone, after a thor ough investigation of the case, came to that conclusion and to-day gave all four their liberty. In granting the pardons the governor said, among other things: "I am folly convinced that these four men are the victims of perjured testimony, and have suffered a long imprisonment, mainly on the evidence of the notorious Annie Boghines, who has figured in a number of criminal cases of more or less magni tude."
