The salary list of the city officers was submitted and adopted, and they will receive the same as last year.

GALENA, 111., Jnne 3—High on an emi nence in the city that be once claimed ss bis home, almost casting its shadows in the setting sun over the old house that sheltered his family during the period that at the very front he was fighting or directing the battles for the preservation of his country, and the continuation of the nnion, a magnificent monument to the memory of "The Old Commander" was formally unveiled to-day with impressive services. An Immense throng the number was variously estimated at from twentyfi-ve to thirty thousand peo-ple-^partieipated in the function. They came from far and near, from Iowa and from Wisconsin, from the remote quarters of Illinois down in that region familiarly fcnown as

Egypt," from Michigan and from Indiana. The population of Dubuque, just across the river, literally emptied itself into its sister city to bear the greetings of the state of Iowa to the men and women of Galena ixt paying honor to the "Hero of Appomattox." The outside visitors bdgan to put in an appearance almost before the firstsignsof dawn had appeared in the heavens^ Tfcey came in farmer*' wagons, ih buggtes, on horseback, afoot, gnd by special trains which seemed to roll intotlirftdepokin an almost unbroken lute, TbovOteransof the Grand Army who bad fought nnder their late commander turned out in force. Business was entirely suspended. In Dubuque the public schools were closed, and Freeport and other contiguous cities were in similar accord. Tne pretty little city was literally swathed in bunting. The decorations of the bridges, court house, and other public buildings were especially elaborate, the aid of professional decorators from Chicago having been invoked in order to make a display worthy of tho occasion. All the business houses and private residences, with scarce an exception, were enveloped in the national colors and there were two grand arches on Main street and at many principal crossings. .Shortly after twelve o'clock two special trains from Chicago brought in a large number of distinguished guests. Among them were Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, of New York the orator of the day ex-Governor and Mrs. Hoard of Wisconsin ueneral and Mrs. Nelson A. Miles, Judge and Mrs. Walter Greaham, John Gelert, the sculptor of the monument Mr. James W. Scott, of the Chicago Herald—to whose suggestion and energy is mainly due the existence of Grant Park, the beautiful breath-ing-spot within which the monument is located .Rev. P. 8. Henson, D. D., the eminent baptist divine H. II. Kohlsaat, the donor of the monument: Senator Cullom and Attorney-General George Hunt, of IltinQisJS&nator Allison and Congressman Henderson, of lows, Judge Blodgett, Stuyveaant Fjsh. jwresi-, dent of the Illinois Central railroad and over two hundred others. With the Chicago delegation came the famous Fifteenth regiment band from. Foat Sheridan, and in addition to this martial music there were in the city no less than fifteen other musical organizations from various parts of Illinois and Wisconsin. The distinguish! visitors were met at the depot by an immense crowd and heartily greeted. Shortly after twelve o'clock ihe exercises opened with a parade which moved from the Do Soto house corner under the command of Grand Marshal George 8. Avery. The Fifteenth regiment band, 17. S. A., let! the way. Then came Company I, Third regiment. L. N. G., of Galena, acting as special escort to the carriages containing the donor of the statue, the orator and othar speakers, and the distinguished people from abroad. After these followed tne park commissioners, the mayor and city council, the division being completed with the Savannah, Illinois, band. The second division was led by several visiting military companies followed by over three thousand Grand Army veterans, the local fire company, civic organisations of the city, and citizens in carriages and on foot. At the park tho immense throng gathered itself around the monument and the orator and other distinguished guest? took their places upon the platform. Within the enclosure there were ranged the small company of comrtdes of the old §6th Illinois who stormed the heights of Lookout mountain and swept the hills of Mission Rid^e under the very eyes of (heir dead chieftain, together with a large number of former Galeneans now living in Chicago, who some time a|p) organised a Galenian Association. Considerable enthusiasm was manifested as one after another of the distinguished guest* stepped upon the platform and was recognised, and it was some little time before quiet could he sufficiently secured to enable the exercises to be proceeded with. Then the •'Star Spangled Banner'' was rendered by the Fifteenth United States regiment band and a fervent invocation was pronounced by Rev. W. t). Atcbison, of this city, chaplain of the day. When he had condodml the united bands strock op "Hail to the Chief," and amidst a scene of inspiring enthusiasm, little Miss Paaline Kohlsaat, of Chicago, daughter of the donor,

Ex-Gov-eroor Hoard, of Wisconsin, was introduced by K.E, McOennan, dbairman of the boar*! of park commissioner^ and in behalf of Mr. Kohkaat formally presorted the statue to the city of Gafen*.

The east, following the traditions and practice of centuries, presented tried and famous statesmen at the

unequaled opportunities and displayed the most brilliant qualities at everyj»erfod of their achievements. Batnlbal and Ciesar had won universal facie la the thirties. Alexander died at thirtymore worii thirty-seven, atiorty, was an obscure leather merchant in Galena. As a cadet at West Point he had risen only just above the middle of his class. As a subaltern on the frontier and in Mexico he had done no mare than perform his duty with the courage and capacity of the average West Pointer. He had pursued agrl culture with his customary conscientious care and industry, but the moment that the grea est responsibilities were thrust jopon him, an the fate of his country rested upon his shoulders, this Indifferent farmer, business man and merchant, became tho foremost figure of the century. He divined the purposes oi the enemy as well aa he knew his own plans. His brain became clearer, his strategy more perfect, and his confidence In himsfeif more serene as his power Increased. He could, lead the assault at Doneisan, or the forlorn "hope at Shiloh, or maneuver his forces with exquisite skill and rare originality of resources at Vickaburg, as the best of brigade or corps commanderf, or before Richmond, calmly conduct a campaign covaring a continent and, many armies with consummate generalship.

As the nations of the earth disband their armaments and are governed by the laws of reason and humanity, they will recur to this beneficent settlement between tho United States and Great Britian and General Grant's memorable words upon receiving the freedom of the city of London: "Although a soldier by education and profession I have never felt any sort of fondness for war, and 1 have never advocated it, except as a means of peace"—and they will bail him as one ef the benefactors of mankind. In our thousandth year as agnation the only statesmen or soldiers of our first hundred years whose names will decorate the celebration will be Washington and Hamilton for the bjtffinning, Webster for the middle period and Lincoln and Grant for the close.

Four days after the flrtt shot vfas fired at Fort Sumpter he wrote from Galena a letter to his father-in-law predicting the uprising of the north and the fall of slavery. Others taw only the commercial spirit of the free states he, far in advance of tne public-men of the time: diuined that superb patriotism which inspired millions to Icive the farm and the family, their business and their homes to save the union. While statesmen of all parties were tempore ingand his silent pic, pierced with undimmed eyes had clouded the vision of the nation for a hun dred years. His calm judgment comprehended forces in the conflict, and that their collision would break and pulverize the shackles of the slave. When taking observations, while standing with his staff on a hill within short range of Fort Donelson, he said: "Don't be afraid, gentlemen Pillow who commands there, never tired at anything." His assault would have been rashness, except that he knew Pillow and Floyd, and they both ran away and left the besieged to their fate.- At Shilon, when all his assistants had (ailed or despaired, he turned the worst of disasters into one of the most significant of triumphs. Tho United States is surprisingly rich in having possessed three such exalted intelligences in thoir first century, Washington, Lincoln and Grant.

The most signal services rendered by Grant to his country wore at Appomatox, and in his contest with President Johnson. The passions aroused by the civil war were most inflamed when the confederacy collapsed. Grief and vengeance are bad counselers. One serene intellect was possessed of an intuition which was second to prophecy, and was clothed with power, He saw through the vindictive suggestions of the hour that the seceded states must be admitted to the union, and their people vested with all the rights of (American citizenship and all the privileges of state government, or the war had been fought in vain. He sternly repressed the expressions of joy by his troops as tho vanquished enemy marched by, With hit (nmoils order, "The war is over, the rebels are our oountryuaon wtinf-Mid the best sigu of r«-

confederates their homes and belongings and told them to go home, cultivate their farms and repair the ravages of war. He assured all, from Lee to the mirate soldier, that they would be safe and unmolested so long as they observed their paroles.

There have been many presidents of tho United States and the roll will be indefinitely extended. We have had a number of brilliant soldiers, but only one great general. The honors of civil life could add nothing to the fame of General Grant and it has been often argnedthat his career in tho presidency detracted from his reputation. 8ucn will not be the Judgment of the impartial historian.

JACKSON, Miss., Ji ne 3.—Five years of disinterested labor rnd effort on the part of the women of Mississippi culminated to-day in the»fonnsl unveiling of the monument to the confederate dead of Mississippi. It is a big day for the ex confederates, theSr wives and sons and daughters. Not only are they here from every hill and dale of Mississippi, but every southern state has its representation, some small and others large. Nor is the south alone participating in the jubilation of the dffr for several eastern and western states afe represented, Iowa especially, hgPg a large contingent. Scores of sp&kji trains arrived here in the night and ^morning, and an almost unbroken stream of people has poured out from the depot up the turnpike road to the little town. The total number of outside visitors is variously estimated at from fifteen to twenty thousand. Early this morning jr~ reception was tendered to the confederate veterans at the capitol building. They were there in force and many comrades clasped hands wh$ had riot met since the close oi the %slr. There were greetings, warm and: cordial, and many affecting scenes were: enacted. Among the prominent veterans present were: Governor Gordon, of Georgia, commander of the United confederate veterans General E. Kirby Smith, of Manassas fame General Cabell, a former Virginian but now of Texas Brigadier General J. M. Billups, and Governor Stone, of Mississippi General J. A. Smith, Colonel W. D. Holder, and scores of others of lesser and greater renown- At 10:30 o'clock on the moment, the big bell of the court house rang ont the signal for file head of the procession: to move, and while the "RebelYell" issued from thousands of strong lungs, ten companies of the Mississippi national guard wheeled around the corner and up the broad avenue. Behind thelast company, and drawn by ten white horses came afloat carrying fifteen young ladies representing the southern confederacy, and the different states which composed it. Each bore aloft a beautiful banner with the names of the different states handsomely embroidered upon the center. Every one was the daughter of a confederate veteran, and every one was more than fair to look upoij ,* being regarded as a belle in, her particular state. It was a magnificent tables a and the cheers and rebel yellB that ^greeted the float as it passed from block block were deafening.

Next to the float came the officers of the Ladies' Monument Association, he organization under the auspices of which the monum&it had been erected. Tbey were heart} T/ and vociferously cheered at evejy' fhpint. Then came distinguished visit from abroad, arid confederate veteratLgm carriages, orga nWaxl jpnaln, Xkt.OOnfeCS*" organized posts „#oson8 of confederate veterans. The line of march was through the principal streets to the mor/iument. In all thgprocession was two miles in length. Tlf sidewalks througl i»packed with peo ~irs ran from block and stripes were a every division and .a the top of the capital. Side by Bide with them were carried many torn and tattered confederate battle flags which bore testimony to the bitter conflicts through which they had been borne. The bands played Star Spangled Banner, then Yankee Doodle, then Dixie, The Girl I Left Behind Me, Maryland, my Maryland, and other kindred confederate war songs. Twentyone Mississippi military companies and ten companies from other states, figured in the proceesion. When the grand stand was reached the confederate divisions, preceded by the officer of the Ladies' Association, tooJc their position at. the head of the column.

A

TEST OF ENDURANCE.

Indians Wiio Caa Capture a ISastaafl pS by Hnaaiag Mltu Indians afoot and desirous of a mount havo been known to run a wild pony down. They take one by sheer endurance. There is, of course, as great a differenco in stamina and staying powers among Indians as among the whites but utmost any village or camp will furnish one or two, or even three, bronze athletes who are good and game at a clay's running, to run one hundred miles from their last repast. A wild- pony cannot do this. In practiced, grass-fed and soft, he shows no such strength or bottom. Should necessity .point and occasion oiler one of Mercurys will uudertak .capture on foot, coursing Kim by sieht as greyhounds course hares. Tho timo seleetod is after a light snow—this on account of the plain, open trail it shows in the event of the pony getting out of sight at any time during1 the chaso. Then, again, the running

Indian can scoop up a handful of snow as he .flies, and make it take the place of water.

When such a chase is arranged for, the Indian or Indians who are to do the coursing camp the night beforonear the band of mustangs and arise early in tho oarliestgroy of the morning. Strippod of everything but thoir moccasins they begin the hunt. They select iheir victim, "cutting it out" oi the "bunch," and pursue it straight away. They never circle it, as that would make the Indians run a greater distance than the pony. Away acrosa the country goes the astonished pony, with the runners square on in its trail, pushing forward in silence. Sullenly they fling to the trail, no matter where it leads. Up hill and down, among rocks across streams—where the pony goo.-*, they go, tireless as fate. At last, broken in heart and strength, unable to struggle farther, the mustang is taken. Unless far stronger than usual, he will be rtln down within tho first fifty miles.

A Rival of California Forcsta. There i9 an enormous treo in the Ocmulgee river swamp, near Abbeville, Ua., that rivals the famous giants of the California forests. The tree is of the tupolo gum variety, atfd towers abovo tho surrounding forest of immense oaks. It is evidently of great age. and doubtless was inhabited by the Indians in the prehistoric age of this country. The tree is hollow at the base with an aperture targe enough to admit a tftll man. The hollow extends upward foj?*n distance of fifteen feet, affording spaoe enough for two stories. The hallow at the base is twelve feet in diameter.

SC* SAYS 1UIM3B M'XtTTT C^OVRT

The city from present appearances will be governed for some time to come by the metropolitan usurpers. Judge McNuit this morning decided thai the filing of an appeal bond-was a stay to all proceedings and that the alleged commissioners were not in contempt of court.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Stimson kept reading authorities to toe court and commenting on them until about 4 o'clock with Judge McNutt differing with him on some points and agreeing with him on others, engaging in a sort of a friendly debate.

About 5 o'clock the court intimated that he was inclined to-hold in favf ,of the defendants and Mr. Stimson asked him if he would not reserve his decision until he finished quoting authorities an he had some which he was sure would change the view of the court when submitted. After the court intimated what his decision might be Mr. Stimson then

roceeded and was interrupted by John who said that he wished to make a statement. Stimson asked him to wait a minute and he would then be through find Lamb could speak. Lamb said

Stimson replied that all that he was authorized to say was that these proceedings in contempt would be dropped if the gang would dismiss their proceedings in injunction in the circuit court against the council, but further thnn that he had no offers to make. This did not suit the parties addressed and with wry faces they left the room. Court then adjourned" until this morning.

This morning Judge McNutt overuled the demurrer of the city to the answer of the defendants in contempt. The city attorney stated that he would file, a reply to tlio answer but said to the court that he could not do so to-day or to-mor-row, as he had-to attend the funeral of a relative in Montgomery county, and the court answered that nothing would be done until his return.

In giving his decision upon the overruling of the city's demurrer this morning Judge McNutt said that there was a rave doubt in hia mind as to thecorectness of tne decision that lie was about to make, but he said that he bei]gat thejremml ical. he was inclined to decide that the defendant's answer was good.

A BIT OF BAD BREAKAGE.

An Accident nt Jsucke's Mill Cannes A Nnapenaion of Work. About 10:30 o'clock this morning the employes about Jencke's hominy mill as well as pedestrians and others on the outside, were startled by a sudden thunderous grinding or crunching noise, which lasted for a few seconds and was followed by a terrific splitting and breaking of timbers and boards. Then came the quick shrill screech of the whistle for shutting down. Throughout the-big mill structure there was considerable alarm and confusion and this continued until the catiBd of the difficulty was discovered. Several teeth had broken from the crown wheel of the main driving cogs in the basement and caused a diwlodgement oi the wheel which had torn things right and left for considerable space around it, and but for the prompt snutting down would have caused irreparable destruction. As it is the mill has closed down and will of necessity remain inoperative for about ten days or two weeks. Just before the accident occurred two of the mill hands had been working close to the wheel but bad been called to another part of the mill. Had they remained near the big wheel, both would have been seriously injured if not killed outright.

Baccarat scandal suit could be observed to-day. The oou:i room was again filled to its utmost capacitv with throngs ^pf representative of "the hiehest socirt ranks. The .Prince of Wales and the principals in the suit were promptly on hand when court opened. Sir Charles Russell at once began his opening speech for the defense. He said nt the outset that his clients found it impossible t"» say they were mistaken in the charges which they had brought against Sir William Gordon Cumming, but circumstances were simplified hf the fact that no malice had been suggested on either side. Prom the very first Sir William had spoken of his accusers as persons of honor.

LONDON, June 3.—At the conclusion of Sir Charles Rnssells speech, Arthur Wilson was called to the stand, lie testified that before the Prince of Wales dealt cards

won't waiL I am going to make my statement right now and you can't help yonrself." At this defying statement of his intentions the court allowed Lamb to8peak.

He then -proceeded to state that the metropolitan gang would step down and out from the city offices if the would pay the salaries of Meagher, *I)wyer, Pierce, Hyland, and the other agents of the gang, and promiss not to dismiss or prefer charges against any man on account of his connection with the metro politan outrage. This offer was uttered in aloud tone of voice and Lamb seemed very much surprised that the city government as represented by Stimson did not drop on its knees and beg for mercy from the gang.

tho first night baccarat was

played at Tranly court, he (Wilson) looked around the tablo to see what stakes were pi axed and saw a £5 red counter on the sheet of note paper in front of Sir William, but when the latter won he was paid for thieo counters in the next hand there was only £l live counters in front of Sir William, ami when Lord Somerset, who wU at his left, took up .the cards Sir William leaned forward vith his hands over his counter and looked into Somerset's hand, which contained "natural" and "court" cards. O11 seeing this Sir William opened ouo hand and let five pounds counters drop. He was paid X20 for the coup. It was next, noticed by Wilson that when Sir William, by virtue of his position at the table, could tee any one draw bad cards, Sir William would draw back his hands and let additional countena drop on his pile, always keeping ouo ted counter 111 front of him. Wilsou that night told Berkely l^vett, another of the players, what ho luul seen, and as h?is been related heretofore, they determined to lay a trap for Sir William on th| next "night. At this point the court%djourned for the day with the understanding that Wilson's testimony be continued to-morrow.

PROSPECTS OF WAR IN HAYTI. finite Ici»nrtnient '.ATrnid It Will Kurt nil I*enliiiir Negotiation*.

WASHINGTON, .June 3.—For some timo past tbe condition of affairs in Hayti have been regarded with solicitude by the preeident and members of bis administration, especially the heads of the stale and navy departments. Upon hia return from Port An Prince, several weeks ago, Admiral Gherardi was called to Washington for a consultation with Secretary Tracy, at which officials of the state department were also present. His impressions and representations respecting the situation in Hayti are said to U&yja _Jiefiti„J^avttrahte. At anv rate tertained by some officials that the black republic was exposed to' imminent danger of civil commotion and bloodshed among results of which might be the indefinite postponement of all negotiations looking to reciprocal commercial agreement and the completo failure of negotiations for the cessation to the United States by Hayti of Wales, St. Nicholas, for a navy station, as well as serious damage to existing trade relations, and interests of both countries. It was also stated the naval authorities bad formed an impression that Minister Douglass had not fulfilled the expectations of the government in respect to negotiations for a coaling station which tad been intrusted to him, and wonld probably return to the United States within a short time and be granted an opportunity to personally give an account of his stewardship. No confirmation of this assertion could bo obtained at the state department and yet there is some ground for its belief.

Their names are: William Searing, probsbly fatally, and Gottfried Brentwein and Hermann Lengner. fire broke out in the drying room and owing to t*e inflammable contents of the building, gave tbe firemen a hot fight before control over it was gained. Owing to its fight with the whisky trust, rumors of incendiarism became current, but it is thought the fire was caused by overheated dryer and spontaneous combustion.

CHICAUO, HI., June In regard to me report from New York yesterday that tbe whisky trust had finally socured control of the Shufeldt distillery, paying therefor 11,500,000, Shufeldt said tbis morning, "There is not a word of truth in the story. The distillery is not for sale at any price, and certainly woul I not be for tbe once mentioned. It is highly improbable we would sell a business of eight millions yearly for the pittance mentioned." v-
