anws hd. Government Now In Full Possession of That Historic Battleground. UNION AND CONFEDERATE, Soldiers of the Opposing Armies Meet ns Brothers on the Scene of One of Thejtz Great Battles—“ Star Spangled Banner” Brings Tears of Joy to the Eyes of the Grizzled Veterans. Chattanooga, Sept. 20.---Last night the government of the United States was in full possession of the Chickamauga battlefields. The nation has another public park which, while it may not be as grand from a scenic point of view as that of the Yellowstone, will be far dearer to the hearts of the people. The park dedicated to the nation yesterday was consecrated with the blood of 35,000 heroes in 1863. It was consecrated by a battle which for desperate fighting and carnage has few equals in the world’s history. But the unique feature of this dedication was the fact that the men who struggled and fought against each other at Chickamauga 32 years ago met here again as brothers, aud each did his share toward making the dedication a success. They sealed a compact by which the last vestige of vemon caused by the civil war was blotted out. Within the limits of this grand historic place of pleasure for the nation yesterday were gathered 75,000 people. Among the throng were some of the nation’s heroes and there were also some of her highest officials. Os President Cleveland’s cabinet there were Attorney General Harmon, Secretary of the Navy Herbert, Secretary of the Interior Smith and Postmaster General Wilson. There were a baker's dozen of governors and hundreds of men of renown who took part jn the conflict between the north and south. Gathering On Snodgrass Bill. The ceremonies took place at Snodgrass Hill, whose sides for a mile were so thickly covered with dead 32 years ago, the survivors say, that one could have walked over it from crest to base, stepping from one prostrate body to another. Hours before the exercises began the battlefield was alive with the crowd. The first event of the day was a display of arms by Battery B, Fourth United Stages artillery. Then there was a battalion regimental department, showing the new tactics and field movements, under command of Colonel Holland. Vice President Stevenson presided over the dedicatory exercises, and when he came forward he was greeted with loud applause. The meeting was called to otder at 12 o’clock, and at that hour Snodgrass Hill was covered with people. A national salute of 44 guns by the artiMery was fired, followed by the “Star Spangled Banner,” played by one of the United States infantry bands. It was cheered to the echo by the veterans of the blue and of the gray, and in their enthusiasm many of the grizzled old veterans shed tears of joy. After a short address by the vice president and prayer by Bishop Gailor of Tennessee, "America” was sung by the vast audience, accompanied by a band. Addresses were then made by General J. B. Gordon, Senator Palmer of Illinois and General James Longstreet. As Governor Upham of Wisconsin was riding up Lookout mountain yesterday afternoon the horses attached to his carriage became frightened and on attempting to get out to hold the horses, he fell and broke a small bone in his leg below the knee. He was at once taken to Lookout Inn, where his injuries were cared for. It is not considered serious, though he will be laid up for some time.

BLUE AND OBAY UNITE. Union anti Confederate Soldiers of the Army of the Tennessee Fraternize. Chattanooga, Sept. 20.—There was another big crowd in Barnum’s big tent last night. It was a grand reunion of the Army of the Tennessee—union and confederate. General Granville N. Dodge of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee presided. After music by the band and prayer, he introduced the first speaker of the evening, General O. O. Upward of the United States army.. lij the course of his speech General Howard paid a glowing tribute to the great generals, both blue and gray, who participated in the battle of Chickamauga, and continuing, he told of the heroic American volunteer and things he saw and experienced. In concluding he said in part: “It is coming into my heart this year, as it came into the heart of General Grant near the close of his life, to speak only kindly words, lest we might? injure'the manhood of the noblest men of the south. God alone adjusts the balance of justice, and he only is able to fill the soul of every waiting comrade with fullness from his own abundant perennial fountains.” Addresses were also made by General Joseph A. Wheeler of Alabama, General Willard Warner of Chattanooga and other prominent veterans. ■ “COME INTO MY PARLOR.” Attempt by London Sportsmen to Get Defender Across the Ocean.

The Immense stretch of country extending from the height of land at the head waters of the Ottawa to James* Bay Is at last to be explored. Dr. Robert Bell of the Geological Survey will leave in 9, few days, and wilt be away all summer, says a Quebec special. No survey has ever been made of this country, vast as it Is, though valuable explorations were made last year in much higher latitudes in the Interior of Labrador. The country is known only to the Indians and to the French-Canadian trappers for the Hudson Bay company, who obtain from it great wealth of pelts. Apart from these the resources of the country are entirely unknown, so that interesting discoveries may be looked for on Dr. Bell’s return next autumn. Some years ago Dr. Bell penetrated sixty miles over the height of land in this country, and there he found a river which he has reason to believe is a tributary of a larger one flowing into James’ Bay. He does not, therefore, anticipate that he will experience much difficulty in forcing his way overland by different waterways to James’ Bay. Knights of the Maccabees.

CHRISTIANS FIERCELY CONDEMNED. Imperial Chinese Decree Advising the Faithfut to Commit Outrages. London, Sept. 21, —The Times today prints a dispatch from Hong Kong wfiich says that at the annual examinations in Canton thousands of students were given copies of an imperial decree in which the doctrines of the Christians were fiercely condemned. The decree uses the following language: A stupid, black-haired race is establishing sundry sects and they regard not their own lives, but pretend to rise again as immortal men and women. They congregate and abandon chastity, behave like obscene birds and beasts. Faithful Confucians must shoot and stone and behead them without mercy. I, the emperor, command the authorities to eradicate these weeds and vermin. Kill the serpents. Throw them to the wolves and tigers, because there is no salvation for them either against heaven-sent calamities or misfortunes caused by human agencies.

Attempt of a Faithful Dog to Protect Hie Dying Mistress. „ Sept. 21.—An aged and unidentified woman dropped to the sidewalk at Forty-third street and Wentworth avenue, probably from the heat. She was accompanied by a dog of ragged coat, which behaved like a mad beast when his mistress sank down. He yelped and dashed to and fro, stopping every moment to lick the woman’s face. When the police arrived and essayed to remove the body, in which a Spark of life lingered, the dog sprang their way and snapped viciously at them. A dozen times he was driven back, only to return to the charge as furiously as before. The woman was finally loaded on a stretcher and the faithful brute followed close in the wake of the patrol. At the station he made the same demonstration of affectionate protection, and this time the police, who began to understand the case a little better, permitted him to cuddle up to the dying woman. When she expired the remains were "removed to the morgue, the dog still in the wake of the clay of his mistress. All efforts to drive him proved futile, and he was finally permitted to mount guard beside the slab on which she lay. .......... Blew Her Head Oft ■Moline, His., Sept. 21.—Mrs. Harvey C.
