The victories of the American army have been the realty effective means of putting a stop to cruelty in the Philippines.

To establish a military government? No.

The laws we are now endeavoring to enact for the government of the Philippines are to increase the power and domain of the civil at the expense of the military authorities, and to render even more difficult than in the past the chance of oppression.

More lavish display of the flag throughout the (Ity than to-day has never been known.

The monuments In all the parks and at all the tei sections of the avenues were and many, Including those of Lafayette and Rochambeau, were, half hidden with tiorul offerings. Veterans of the Civil and Spanish wars, the former in thinner ranks than heretofore, and contrasting pathetically with those who responded to the call of four years ago. marched up Pennsylvanla-ave). past the scene of their historic homecoming reviews, and proceeded to the various cemeteries. Many went to soldiers' home and the.

battleground cemetery, but the greatest number to Arlington, where nearly thirty thousand persons gathered to hear the President and the commander In chief of the Qrand Army of the Republic. At the of Arlington a national salute was fired by the 4th Artillery aa th- 1 procession entered and inarched to the tomb of the unknown dead, Where, aftf-r impressive services, loose flowers and a small American Hag were placed on each Of the thousands of Braves, including those of the Maine's dead, of the Confederates who tie In one section and of those recently brought from the Philippines. While the decoration was in progress a vast crowd gathered in and about the amphitheatre, where President Roosevelt arrived at 1 o'clock, escorted by the general and staff of the District Militia. His appearance on the platform was the signal for a great outburst of applause, which continued for some time after he had taken a Beat. He was accompanied by Secretary Cortelyou, Secretary Root.

Postmaster General Payne, Commander Cowles, Miss Alice Roosevelt, Miss Carow. and his children. Ethel and Kerrrdt. Behind the President's party pat General and Mrs. Corbin, Senator and Mrs.

Hawley, Senator and Mrs. Cullom, Representatives Lacey and Butler, and General Torrence, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. After prayers and a hymn, and the reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg address, the first oration of a President of the United States at Arlington was delivered. His predecessors had frequently attended the ceremonies at this spot, McKinleylast In and but never to make an address. The scene was exceedingly picturesque.

The amphitheatre was crowded -with" oil soldiers, and the rolling hills as far as the eye could reach were thickly covered with people, many of them beyond ear Phot, but attentive. The President was frequently Interrupted with appreciative demonstrations, and when he closed there was prolonged applause. As he took his Feat some one In the crowd cried out, "Three cheers for our brave President!" whereupon a mighty shout went up from the throats of the thousands who had crowded Into every available space to hear him.

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED. ontinuril from heroic achievements of our army and navy during the last half century Tlu' Empire State is a Dame well earned by tl'f af Ncw-Yurk. and one that can nevei be dispute l. Foremost it: population, foremost in educational advantages, it ran truly be sniii that ti.ls greftt has always Houtiit to omhody in iicr all that is i.i.al In government. Mr.

Nixon. in reviewing the part New-York took In the Civil War, said that of the liicti who fought in that war, New-York furnished one-third of the forces battling for the Union at Gettysburg, the battle which decided the late of the Union, came from the Empire State. When Mr. Nixon mentioned Ueneral Miles us one of the famous commanders furnished by this State there waa a mighty shout from the great crowd that surrounded the monument, and the handclapping lasted for fully three minutes. The veterans applauded when a little later Mr.

Nixon said that for the dead heroes the living must not be forgotten, and thanked God that this country had a pension system with which fault was found rather on account of Its generosity than its parsimony. THE MAYOR'S ADDRESS, Mayor Low was applauded when he was introduced, lie said: It la my Inspiring duty, aa chairman ex ofticlo of the and Suitors' Memorial Monument Commission, to turn over thin monument as a saored charge to the keeping of the Department uf I'aika. It may seem strange to some that the city in only now completing its memorial monument to gallant soldiers and sailors of the Civil War. But reflection will ahow that the monument has for this reason nut the leaa significance, but the greater. It represents nut so much an impulse el generous feeling kindled into action in a moment of great excitement, as the deliberate judgment of the great city that thoao whom this monument commemorates have rendertd Imperishable services to our country, to our city and to mankind.

Nor is it, for this reason, the less charged with patriotic sentiment. It may well be said that those who fought for the Union In the Civil War stand in need of no monument of stone or branae. Our happy, prosperous ami reunited country is Itself a monument greater than any that the sculptor can duvUu or that loving hands can sal up. Uui the city needed this monument for its own sake. It could not be that the loyal, patriotic, powerful city of New-York could permanently go without such an inspiration to patriotism as this monument will henceforth supply.

Standing as It does on the edge of the broad waters of Hudson, in full view of those who pass up and down the river, it liecomes the lining memorial of those who fought upon the sea as well as of who contended upon the land, it stands sis though Inspiration had been gathered by those commemorated here from memories Saratoga and Crown Point, from Long Island and Harlem Heights, from Princeton and Trenton across the river, no less than from the proud dr-eds upon ocean and lake, In our early wars, that foreshadowed New-Orleans and Mobile Bay and a thousand other exploits of our gallant tars. The contribution of New-York to the arm) of the Union wen- a mighty host, full worthy of the city that sent them forth, and few. indeed, were the battlefields that were not sanctified with their blood. To-day the city of New-York recgjls the services of every of its gallant sons who fought for the preservation of the LTnion. whether on land or sea, and without regard to name or rank, with profound gratitude and with affectionate pride; with gratitude for th.

services and self-sacrifices and with pride in their bravery, their patriotism and their devotion. U'hll. the city stands, while the waters of yonder river How. ma) this monument stand here to witness to every generation of gratitude which the city cherishes for all her sons who contribute! In the dread days of the Civil War to preserve the life of the nation, and of the affectionate and unspeakable i.rlde that the grateful city takes In them an i In deeds. This monument was provided for by an art of legislature passed In 1838.

Tho commission was organized under Mayor Strong, and has always consisted of the Mayor of the city, the Controller, the Recorder, the president of the Park Board ana the chairman of the Grand Army of the Republic of New-York, who has been from the beginning the secretary of tin board.

The schoolboys were singing "Nearer, My God, to Thee," accompanied by hand, when the groat flag wag pulled away from the monument. Instantly the of tho Alabama and of the Ist Battery began th-- salutes. The firing was still In progress when Colonel Goulden turned to General O.

O. Howard, who was to deliver the oration, and asked, "General, can you talk against 1 I've done it before." was the reply, but General Howard waited aft. the roar. A DARING PIECE OK WORK After began to apeak tin- attention of many persons was attracted to the daring work of Edward Nlebllng, of the Junior Naval Reserve, who waa hoisted by rope and pulley to the top of monument to remove tackle that remained there after the Sag wag hauled down. To many persons who watch.

After he had let down all the tackle, he shouted thai he would fasten the end of the single remaining rope and down, but whs ordered not to attempt it. Following the orders ai his captain, hihauled up a pulley, which he fast to the top cornice of the monument. Then he passed the rope through the pulley, and vas lowered by hi.s fellows to tin- top -if ladder. Tuere.

was a great career from the crowds when safely at tin- foot of the monument. (iKMiItAI; HOWARD'S ORATION. General Howard'a oration was, in part, as follows; Lately I have been pleading nol against monuments, but that we should make them, If possible, mere useful, better adapted to fulfil the object have In in th.ir erection. Grant's I would have moulded into an Institution In the Interests of the arts of peace, the peace which became his MtrjuKcsi w.sii snd highest hope for bin country Lincoln's best monument will a group of school in his own town, whose people he neemed to love more than any other associates of his life.

After especially referring to Gettysburg, and to the splendid part played In that battle by the New-York troops and by troops commanded by New- York officers, he said: As Gettysburg ended In success and the light in Hampton Roads In triumph, so ended the whole 'ong struggle for the life of the republic finally at Appomttttox. We do well to honor the actors who struggled for the. Hfu of the republic In the great drama.

On Memorial Days we will ever remind ourselves of what they undertook, and of what was accomplished through their labor and sacrifice. We gained too much as a nation to boast or to say such things as will offend the children and children's children of bold opponents. Peace has returned, and been sealed by another tr. in which we have fought side by side. Slavery Is dead and burled beyond resurrection and all men and women.

North, South, ihi and West, are glad of this result of the conflict. Our domain has been extended, and the principles of liberty, like good seeds, have sown by im in land, and we rejoice at the Increase of freedom wherever on the face of earth our Bag flies and has loyal support. There appears to be between us und Great Britain a friendly rivalry as to which shall give to other governments Ihe bent example of liberty regulated by law. SCHOOLS FOLLOW THE FLAG. The schools, especially the public schools which Charles Sumner so Hoqurntly advocated an Horace Mann worked to expand, go where thr Hag goes, and it is a delight to every veteran, soldier or sailor, to see the and Stripes waving above every school building in the land.

In the strife between riches and poverty, capital and labor. I have still great fears of -he result. Combine, combine, combine if necessary, but keep the flag the flag and all it represents. Contend for your way as much as you choose, but remember to keep within the limits of the grand old constitution of our fathers. The trinity of government which they planted and extended o'er sea and land cannot be surpassed, cannot be equalled.

Our late conduct by argument, by legislation, by regulation and by Intense official action against the Chinese people terrifies me. because I see In It another strife like that against the African. We ought not, we must not, and surely ait sufficient education and thought we will not. lay down the principle that wp ran arrest inhabitants of our country anywhere and everywhere upon simple suspicion and throw them into prison and force them to prove themselves Innocent, most often of offences that they did not dream of committing. No.

no; I take it for granted that there will be i action and reaction in legislation and In the erciee of executive, powers and judicial decision, but surely we must deal with every nation far and near, great or according to the slmale principles of justice. For this, my countrymen, all thinking men among the veterans of the great civil War were fighting. They scored a success, and this monument is a part or the reward of the New- York contingent. Then, let our successors in the strife of life be true and loyal to the liberty and justice which we strove and suffered and many of US to maintain. these fundamental principles be forever sacred and perpetual.

ORATION PRESERVED IN MONUMENT. General Howard read his oration from a manuscript which will he inclosed in a suitable receptacle and preserved within the monument. After General Howard finished his oration the schoolboys sang "The Star Spangled fanner." Then Father Duly, chaplain of the Wth Ueglment, offered a prayer that the hearts of his hearers might be deeply sensible of their obligations to preserve liberty. The ceremonies closed, -with the benediction. Afterward those who had taken part in the ceremonies were conducted to the trophy room which is In the monument- When they came out they were escorted to their carriages.

As General Miles made hia appearance on the he was greeted with tremendous applause, Some one in the crowd posed three cheers for the general, whloh were given with great heartiness. It was after p. m. when the ceremonies at the monument ended. AT GENERAL DIJTS GRAVE, HIS SON.

When honest and earnest men differ upon a question which cannot be compromised, and there Is no tribunal which both will recognise as having jurisdiction to determine the Issue, the strongest must prevail, Who knows who Is the right till the controversy Is ended? Who knows which Is God's iviiy until God Himself clears the fog thai beclouds our vision and makes the Issue clear? Who knew In whether this was an indissoluble Union or a partnership at will? We thought we knew. They thought they knew. God only did know. Decorate, then. Impartially the graves of all who fought In that Kr.ut struggle.

Mr. Logan was followed by the Rev.

Dr. Morgan Dlx, rector of Trinity Chun and son of General Dr. after Indorsing heartily the sentiments uttered by Mr. Logan, made a remark which he said ha supposed might strike hla hearers ns rather startling at first, coming from the son of General IMx. It was that there were times when he approved of hauling down the American Hag.

No true soldier can deny to the Illustrious man whose mortal remains lie here the possession of all the qualities oi a great commander. The man who died at Mount McGregor was never envious of the captains who won battles for him, and he sustained them loyally in the Held.

to the last day at Mount McGregor the- desire uppermost in the thoughts of the victorious soldier was to soothe and better the condition of his countrymen. He lost no opportunity to speak in terms of admiration of the Confederate soldier and the power of speech was gone he wrote: 1..1 th.it we on the eve of a new era, and there la to be great harmony between the Federals and Confederates, I cannot stay to be a living witness of the correctness of this prophecy but 1 feel it within me thai it is to be so.
