WASHINGTON, June 3. Several thou nd persons today visited the' natlon.il rnetery at Arlington, where, with music and oratory, tribute waa paid to the con federate soldiers whose bodies lie at rest beside the soldiers of the north. The exercises were held In the cenfederate action of the cemetery where lie 27 con federates who died In hospitals and prisons In the vicinity of Washington and whose bodies were placed there through the act of the late President Mc Klnley. The services were under the auspices of the Confederste Veteran as sociation of Washington, the Daughters of the Confederacy and the Southern Re lief society. Music was furnished by the Thirteenth Cavalry band. Addresses wpre made by Representative John Sharp Williams of Mississippi and Hilary A. Herbert, former secretary of the navy. A feature of the exercises was the unveiling of the floral "Southern Cross" by Miss Elizabeth Oould. It was the gift of A. J. McLaurin, Camp No. SOt, United Confederate Veter ans of the District of Columbia. An im mense floral wreath, on which was In scribed the word "Fraternity." the girt of the confederate societies of the district, was placed on the monument to the, un known union dead, while a beautiful cli max of the day's ceremonies was the decoration of the newly made grave of General Joseph Wheeler. It Is proposed ' to erect a monument to the confederate dead In the section al lotted to them, and during his speech Mr. Williams read a letter from Secre tary Taft, in which the latter said It would give him great pleasure to afford the confederates this right, provided. however, its form," size and the Inscrip tion' to be placed thereon was approved bye the proper authorities. Mr. Williams said he would have an Inscription along the lines of "Charity towards all; malice toward none." He auggested the follow Ing: Sacred to the memorv of our dear annth. em boys who gave to the land they lived in and to the land they loved, as a per petual and saving memorial of their de votion to the cause of the civilisation of meir race; all their Ood had given them their Uvea. Mr. Herbert said, in part: But we Were defeated Hie rnnflsri.ii la desd. and With it Is hurled forever lha doctrine of secession. Did vou or I. there fore, wh,o fought for the confederacy shed our blood in vainT Did they die In vain, these comrades of ours, whose graves we decorate today? No, no, a thousand times no. If this union Is now more perfect than ever the fathers dreamed of. it is because, first, there are now no unsettled questions to divide us; and. after that, chiefly because of the courage and devo tion displayed on both sides during the civil war. These are the reasons why respect, confidence, admiration have taken the Dalce of hatred and distrust, and mil of the graves In which sectionalism was burled there has arisen the triumphant spirit or Americanism. History will decide that those dead comrades of ours were not rebels and public opinion Is even tending toward that conclusion. CLUB WOMEN REST FOR A DAY Delea-atee to Geaeral Federatloa Pat . he.

CASSATT MAKES STATEMENT Comes Horn to Take Part in Intestifation of FennsyWania Affair, MATTERS TO BE GONE INTO THOROUGHLY If Wrong Has Reea Doae Oallty Will Be Paalshed. hat Faithful Em ployee Will ot Be Sarrlaced to Pahlle Clamor. PHILADELPHIA. June 3.-A. J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, arrived at his home at Haver- ford. Pa., a suburb of this city, from Eu rope about noon today. He will be at hla office In Philadelphia tomorrow morning. This morning Mr. Cassatt gave to the As- clated Press the following statement. Mr Cassatt said he had returned home to take part In tha Investigation by the board of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad company Into the matters that had been disclosed during his absence in the proceedings before the Interstate Com merce commission. Ha had received only brief cable reporta from the office of the company and knew nothing of the de- taila. but from these reports and cables to the London press he had learned that charges had been made against certain officials of the acceptance of bribes from coal operators. The board would Investi gate all such charges exhaustively, and if any officer or employe should be found guilty of corrupt practices ha would he summarily dealt with. Referring to the testimony of certain officers that they held stocks of cosl com panies and to the lnferenoe drawn by the newspapers that favoritism and discrim ination on a large scale had been prac tlced for the benefit of the companies whose stocks were thus held, MV Cassatt said that while such ownership by officers In. a position to exercise favoritism and therefore liable to suspicion was no doubt Inadvisable and unfortunate. It was not an offense In Itself, if the stocks were properly acquired, and waa not contraiy to the bylawa of the company; In fact, the management had In the earlier yeara of the company encouraged its officers to aid In the development of Industrie along Its line. The wrong. If any had been done, waa in the alleged favoritism, There could be no favoritism In rates, aa shippers of coal and all other freights were on an abaolute equality; all paid the full tariff rate without rebate. Only One Chaace. Mr. Cassatt made himself personally re sponsible for the absolute correctness of this etatement. If there was any .dlscrim inatlon It could only be In the distribution of empty coal cars, and so far a he knew no proof hr 1 been produced that the of ficers' concerned had been guilty of such favoritism. The board would, however. also ' inquire ' carefully Into these matter and If there had been any wrong doing would take proper action, but It would not sacrifice faithful and efficient officers to a manufactured and mistaken public opin ion. The board would also, no doubt, con- cider- the- general )iston-of the proreiety of th ownership by officer and employes of stocks of coal and other oompante using the Pennsylvania Railroad company's line and make regulations In relation thereto, There had always been a shortage of coal cars during periods of every year and In recent years this condition had been ag gravated by the great Increase In the pro duction of coal, notwithstanding the very large Increases the company had made In Its equipment. This had given rise to many complaints, and aa a- natural se quence to charges of discrimination. If the output of coal should continue to In crease in the same ratio aa In the past few years It might not be possible to pro vide sufficient equipment to avoid a short age in car supplies. In view of this and the suspicion which such ownership would create, officers having to do with the dig trlbutlon of empty cars ought not to own coal stocks, but to prohibit all officers and employes- from holding atock of companies having bualness with , the Pennsylvania Railroad company would practically bar them from investing in the stocks of com panies located In the state of Pennsylvania and In a half dozen other statea. Sabject la Complicated. The s.bject was troublesome and com plicated. It would do no good, but harm, to adopt unworkable and unforceable reg ulaliona. The question must be handled In a reasonable and practicable way, and Mr. Cassatt had no doubt the board would aucceed In solving It satisfactorily and In formulating proper rulea of conduct In tnla respect for the officers. Though the testimony before the com, mission might disclose instancea of Indi vidual misconduct, and though an effort, seemingly organised, had been made to place the management In the most un favorable light, Mr. Cassatt asserted that the company's affairs were honestly eon ducted In the Interest of the sharehold ers and with a with a full recognition of Its duty to th public. Th company had In Its employment over WO.OOO men, who In their respective spheres had no su periors anywhere. Th management had in the paat shown Itself entitled to the confidence of the public, and It should be trusted now to deal properly with th present situation. Mr. Cassatt thought, too, that the management deserved better treatment than it had received from the press, and particularly from th press of th company's horn stare. It. had ren dered an Immense service to tha public and to the cause of honenly and decency In the conduct of the trannrximtlon bual ness, when, in the early part of th year 1900, two years before the passage of the Elkins act. It gave notice that no more rebates would bo paid and that all ship pers, great and mall, would be placed upon a basie of perfect equality. It had thus inaugurated a movement which, having been Joined in by other railroads and aided later by th pasrag of the Elklna act, lad destroyed a vlcltin y tern almoat as old aa th railroads them selves, and which had become so deeply rooted that many experienced railroad men doubted th powlbillty of eradicating It. The management had done other thing that deserved the commendation of the public and of the press. It had taken the company out of politics and it had done away with the free paa evil. But the press generally. In Its hostility toward th railroads, was only falling In line with an antl-corporatlon public senti ment which had been created by some of the leaders of the two great political parties, who were trying to outbid each other for popular support by attacking large vested Interests Indiscriminately. If thla courae Were pursued much longer tt could only result in undermining con. fldence la th suspension of improve ment and In general business depression, from which lb whol country would suf- NSURGENT LEADERS ON DECK Assemble for Prellmlaarlea of tooth Dakota Repahllcaa Cos- SIOUX FALLS.

The situation at Cananea if again normal. The American volunteers who went across the line at Naco with Governor Tsabel of Sonora on Saturday morning returned to Blsbee at 6 o'clock this morning. Their services were no longer needed, although their presence there during Saturday oefore the .arrival of Colonel Kosterllsky with Mexican rurales held the situation In check. The town Is now under martial law and Colonel Kosterllsky la disarming Ameri cana and Mexicans alike.

A conservative estimate of the number killed In the two days' lighting Is thirty six Mexicans and six Americana. Praise for Thompson. MEXICO CITT. June S.-There haa been no public excitement here over the Cananea riot, though much concern was shown by American realdenta last night lest the trouble mlgbt spread, through the unwise action of the people of Cananea. There was some censure expressed of Consul Galbralth for what appeared to be his onesided attitude and call for aid from his government. That more Mexicans were killed and wounded , than Americans Is thought to show that the latter were pos sibly the aggressors. The statement of Colonel Greene that the riot had Its cause tn a socialistic or ganisation smong the Mexican laborers Is ridiculed, 'as Mexican laborera have no where any socialistic organizations. There was a general sentiment of relief thst the matter was in the hands of two friendly governments, and Ambassador Thompson's prudent and conciliatory con duct waa praised. A statement made by Luis E. Torres, commander of th military lone In Sonora, IndlcateB that the Americana opened fire on the strlkera in the lumber yard at th mines, which provoked the stoning that re sulted In the desth of the brothers Met calfe. Then, as reported. Americans in automobiles and on horseback paased through the streets of the town, shooting into private residences and killing fifteen Mexicans and wounding several people. In cluding a child who was leaving school. The Mexicans Immediately got their pis tols, to be In readiness for further trouble. Newspapers Are Impaatlal. The morning papers content themselves with printing the newe quite' Impartially. The Mexican Herald says: It Is most fortunate that In such June tures aa this strike and riot at Conanea that the arnvernment at Washington and this city are so sincerely animated by a desire to svold making a bad matter worse by. harsh language and mutual recrimina tions. The conduct of the Mexican govern ment and the Roosevelt administration has been characterized by admirable self restraint and by an evinced friendliness which Is gratifying to all serious and m-ell dlsnosed oeoDle on both sides of the bound ary line. It Is quite inevitable now that Mexican and American labor Is so often mingled in msny places, especially near the border, that troubles euch as that which haa stirred the two countries should arise. There will be need In the future of much tact on the local Mexican au thorltles and American managers, as well as private employers. Very fortunately In the United States there Is a well-based confidence In the uprightness and fairness of President Diaz, who Is able to sift testi mony and arrive at a right decision. WASHINGTON, June t The probability la that the four troopa of cavalry which went to Naco, Ariz., from Fort Huachuca on account of the riot at Cananea, Mexico, will be ordered back to their post in a day or two. General Bell, the chief-of-ataff. will take up the matter with Secretary Taft tomorrow, and If it develops that there Is no reason why the men should remain at Naco, they will return promptly. Word haa come to the department front Colonel Bteadman, the commanding officer of the post at Fort Huachuca, that It was never Intended that the troopa of cavalry should cross the border line Into Mexico with a view of quieting the troubles at Cananea, except on explicit orders to that effect from Washington. According to the department it was with a view to aaaisting In protecting citizens at Naco, where for a time there was some difficulty, that the troops were aent to that place. War de partment officials say tonight that there are no fresh developments In the situation from the army standpoint, and in the ap parent absence of any need for the troops at Naco they will return to their proper post.

Tlcfore an Insignificant fire In a fumltu?9 storeroom on the fifth floor of the Haydegj Brothers' department store was discovered yesterday afternoon the building was prao ttcally flooded with water from ths auto matlc sprinkling system, which became released at two heads near the fire. . Tha large stock of merchandise, estimated yes terday by William and Joseph Hay den at SiioO.onO, was nearly half damaged by water. The actual loss by fir was not more than 8100. Incidental to the Mr fifteen firemen and one police surgeon were overcome with carbonic acid gas, which had heavily ao cumulated in the airtight room wher tha (Ire was discovered. Three of th firemen and the police aurgeon were removed to Clark son hospital, while Chief Salter was driven to hla home. The victims wer resuscltsted by a corps of surgeons, whs worked hard on the fifth floor of th Hay den building and In the Sherman Mo Connell drug store. Captain Jerry Sullivan of engine com pany No. 1 was the worst stricken of thos carried out.

' Orlgla of Fire a Mystery. Th origin of the Are la a mystery to ' those Interested. Spontaneous combustion appears to be the only plaualble theory advanced. The room In which the firs occurred Is used for the storage of stock furniture, and has only one outlet, which is a door leading Into tha fifth floor of ths Dodge street annex. The room is lighted by a skylight The fire started In a atock of table leavea piled closely together. Nothing In the way of wires or anything else which might have accounted for th Are could be found anywhere near. When the firemen cleared out th debris they found a heap of charred ember several feet deep a the remnant of th fire. Th embers' were like charcoal, indicating, ac cording to the theory of Assistant Chief Simpson, that th fire smoldered several hours before the alarm waa turned In. .When the firemen reached the building and Assistant Chief Simpson broke open the front door of the building he found that the water already had mad Its way from the fifth to the first floor, which required some time, only two of th sprink ling head being released. Later someona tried to shut oft th sprinklers from an other floor and only mads matters wore by turning on th water, which mlstak waa not discovered for several mlnutea. Gas Overcomes Firesaea. The gaa which partially asphyxiated th firemen waa formed from the fumes of tha smoldering wood and had no outlet until the firemen opened the door. To reach th fir they wer required to press through a narrow aisle with a hose line. Th gsaf was so dense that th men were overosssa) and fell to th floor Ilk tenpins a few seconds aftsr they had extinguished th fir. Soma of th firemen wer over com while carrying out their comrades. As the firemen wer carried out they were taken down tha stairways to th drug stor beneath and treated aa fast as physicians could b summoned. A few of the men who sppeared to be In a bad way were laid on th floor of th north room n th fifth floor and resuscitated there. Aa fast as thy could th firemen brok the skylights to let in fresh air. As th fire Itself was not a serious ons only the regular first-alarm companies re sponded, those being engine No. I and 8, hose 1, 1 8 and 4 and hook and ladder 1 and . Haydea Brothers at the litis. William and Joseph Hsyden were quickly on the seen and pereonally directed ths work of sweeping out the water. They tried to locate th origin, but acknowl edged they wer at sea as to what caused the blase. i Th alarm was turned In by thre young men who wer pasaing th stor and no tioed th water dripping. They hurried tt the Sherman A McConnall drug stor and sent In an alarm. No part of th store wholly escaped drenching, as thousands of gallons of water dripped from th upper floor to tha base ment. Th loss was more general on th fourth floor, which Is heavily loaded with shoes, leather goods, fabrics of all kinds, wall paper, furnishings and other mer chandise. Ths heavy stock of silks on th first floor was saturated. Pianos, mil linery, groceries, art goods, draparles, ear pels, notions and other lines war more or less damaged.
