GREAT NATIONAL PARK Chickamauga and the Many Battlefields In the Vicinity. CEREMONIES OF DEDICATION Preparations Made For a Great Gathering of People — Veterana From the Armlee of lioth Sldee Will Participate In the Exercise* —Many Historic Battlefield* Within the Park Limit*. Chattanooga, Sept. 16.—Under the guiding hand of the secretary of war, acting under the authority of congress. Chattanooga and the notable battlefields surrounding it have been prepared for a national event without parallel. Great throngs of veterans who fought against each other are crowding into the oity to take equal part, under national enactment, in the dedication of fields, which their powess made memorable, as a national military park wherein the movements and achievements of each side have received impartial attention. As provided in the act of congress, Secretary Lamont has invited the attendance of the executive department of the government and the members of the supreme court, congress and its presiding officers, the lieutenant general of the rfmy and the admiral of the navy, the governors of all states with their staffs, and the veterans of the contending armies. All are to be prominently represented. Nearly every surviving general of the two armies has sent notice of his intention to attend. The governors of every state which had troops in the action here responded favorably to the secretary’s invitation. In a few cases the governors themselves will be prevented from attending, but their states will be officially represented. The secretary of war, and the national commission acting under his direction, have made every possible arrangement to insure the comfort of visitors, and through large and influential citizens’ committees Chattanooga has given itself with energy and enthusiasm to the work as assisting the secretary of war. Lieutenant-General Schofield has cordially contributed every assistance which could be given from the headquarters of the army, and the movements of regular troops from Fort Sheridan, Fort Riley, Fort Thomas, Columbus Barracks and Pensacola presented an instance of rapid concentration" of special interest The telegraphic notices from Washington to the national commission that distant battalions, batteries and squadrons had been ordered to move were scarcely received before dispatches arrived at park headquarters from each post that the troops were starting. Park Embrace* Historic Battleground*. The park which is to .be dedicated is of unusual dimensions. It extends with its approaches, from Sherman Heights in Tennessee, six miles north of Chattanooga, to Glass Mill in Georgia, a distance of 22 miles. The broad boulevard between these two points is owned by the government as part of the park. Congress has also authorized the addition to the park of’ Hooker’s and Walthall’s battleground on Lookout. The government already owns the roads to and over Lookout mountain through Hooker’s'fleld to Wauhatchie on Longstreet’s field. The park and its approaches embraces or overlooks the fields of five days of general battle between great armies and three days of minor engagements, namely: Chickamauga, Orchard Knob, Lookout Mountain, and Missionary Ridge; Brown’s Ferry and Wauhatchie. The plan is to restore the fields as nearly as possible to their condition at tne time of the battle, to close all new roads and reopen and improve those used in the battles and over which the armies moved to and from the fields. Indiana has 38 monuments in course of erection, marking the positions of that state’s troops in the battles, and it is expected that the Hoosier state will be represented upon the field in great force tor the dedication, the quartermaster of the state having sent 600 tents to accommodate the governor’s party and the veterans who are to attend from that state. VANDALIA WRECK. Fireman Sandifer Wa* Killed and Engineer Bauer* Seriously Injured. St. Louis, Sept. 16.—As the westbound Vandalia passenger trail! was passing through Collinsville, Ills., yesterday it struck a half open switch and the locomotive and baggageoar were derailed and flung to one side, letting the three passenger coaches pass On unharmed. « Charles Sandifer, the fireman, was killed, and the engineer, H. A. Bauers, was seriously injured. Ed Canaca, the porter, was also slightly hurt. None of the passengers were injured. There is' no doubt, the switch was turned by some malicious person for the purpose of wrecking the train. Not Likely to Have Yellow Fever. Washington, Sept. 16.—Dr. Wyman, surgeon general of the marine hospital service, feels assured (hat all possible precautions have been taken to secure the United States from an epidemic of cholera or yellow fever. He says that the cool weather will do a great deal to keep out the yellow fever, and probably the country having escaped so far there need be no fear of an invasion at this late time in'the year. The doctor says that the cold weather will not interfere materially to prevent the spread of cholera, and that a close watch will have to be kept upon all ports where there is a possibility of cholera being introduced. Crisp Has Not Expressed Himself. Athens, Ga., Sept. 16. — Speaker Crisp denies having declared for Whitney as the Democratic nominee for the preeideuoy, and said he has not expressed preference for anyone for that office. ' \ a.

EXCISE WMIIES THEM New York State Republicans Have Their Programme All Outlined. NOMINEES FOR THE OFFICES. )n« Question, However, I* Giving Them Trouble, and That I* What to Hay In Their Platform About Sunday Saloon Closing—Senator Lexow Selected For Permanent Chairman—Platt Undecided. Saratoga, Sept. 16.—The following is Che state ticket selected for nomination this afternoon by the New York Republican convention in session in this city: For Judge of the Court of Appeals—Celora E. Martin of Binghamton. For Secretary of State—John Palmer of Albany. For Comptroller—James A. Roberts of Buffalo. For State Treasurer—Addison D. Colvin of Glen’s Mills. For Attorney General—Theodore C. Hancock of Syracuse. For State Engiueer-Campbell W. Adams of Utica. The platform, after congratulating the people upon the approaching return to power of the Republican party, condemns the Democrats f r various acts of omission and commission; commends the proposed appropriation of $9,000,000 for canal improvements; indorses the administration of Governor Morton, and protests against free wool and the sugar tax. The platform opposes free coinage, but is in favor of an international agreement. The excise question is what is giving the most trouble. The party leaders struggled with that matter until nearly midnight last night. There were present Messrs. Platt, Lexow, Thurlow W. Barnes, Hiscock, Hendricks, Hackett. Lauterbach, Green, Kenyon, Miller, Sloane and a few of the minor lights. Mayor Green of Binghamton said that he was for a plank in the platform that would declare against the sale of liquor on Sunday. Mr. Barnes said he was for allowing the sale of liquor on Sunday with certain regulations. Mr. Platt said: “I believe it is entirely a legislative matter, but I am not prepared to say how it shall be handled.” Close to midnight, after consultation with almost half the delegates present, the leaders of the party determined that they would avoid the question of excise altogether and not make a recommendation in the shape of a resolution unless forced to do so by the introduction of such resolutions. The convention met at noon today and Congressman Sherman was made temporary chairman. Senator Clarence Lexow was selected as permanent chairman and Edward Lauterbach of New York city as chairman of the committee on resolutions. , u " V JOHN M. BUTLER DEAD.
