ten companies from other states tigured


in the procession.
When the grand stand was reached
the exercises were opened by fervent
invocation, pronounced by Father +. A.
Prichcret, a distinguished Catholic priest
Of Vicksburg, and confederate vete-
ran who had served through the war as
chaplain. The monument, which up te
this time had been draped in white
muslin, was then formally unveiled by
Mrs. Margaret Davis Haynes, daughter
of Jefferson Davis, amidst prolonged
applause, while the combined bands
rendered ''The Star Spangled Banner,
and Dixie" The monument was for
mally presented by Miss Sallie b. Nor
gan, the presentation speech being
made by Hon. G. f. Hooker. 1t was se-
cepted by Col. j. r. Mcintosh.
Senator Z. G. Walthall, upon being
introduced, was received with loud and
prolonged applause. His oration upon
The Confederacy" was complete his
tory of the war from inception to close.
He received close attention and re-
peated applause. When he concluded,
Mrs. Luther Manship recited with stir
ring effect poem by Rev. Father S. j.
Ryan, entitled ''The Sentinels Song."i
Gov. Lowery followed with brief
oration on the life and character of
jefferson Drvis, in the course of which
he said that when partisanship had
given place to sober reason and judg~
ment, historians would accord the late
president of the confederate states
front rank among the great statesmen
of his day, as we'll as these who had
preceded him.
At the conclusion of Gov. Lowery's
Grafton the bands rendered America"
and Maryland" and with the pro-
nouncing of the benediction by Rev. H.
+. Sproles, pastor of the First Baptist
church of this city,t he exercises were
brought to a close.
One of the conspicuous features of the
parade was the absence of all attempts
at uniforms by the veterans. They
have never adopted a uniform, and all
of them, as well as their officers, ap-
peared in citizens attire.
The members of the Mississippi Ma
tional Guard wore United States fatigue
uniforms.
Much disappointment was felt at the
absence of Mrs Davis and Miss Win
rie, who are in New York.

The RAccARAT. CASE.

A Strong Feeling Awakened Among tho
English Nonconformists Against the
Class to which the Prince, of Wales Be
longs by Reason of the Developments in
the Famous Baccarat Case = ~
+ LONDON, June 1.-THE Developments
If the baccarat trial have aroused the
strongest non-conformi feeling against
the class of which the Prince of Wales
is the leader, and is being talked of
in the lobbies of parliament. There is
evidently a fear that the disclosures
may affect the next election unfavora-
bly, for the conservatives. Among the
nobility and gentry the conduct of the
prince excites neither surprise nor OBJ
lection. 1t is among the middle classes
and the poor that severe comments are
heard on the incidents of Tranby Croft.
England has grown more critical
since the DAYS of the Mordaunt divorce,
and the public opinion OF the multi
tude is evidently disposed to hold the
prince to responsibility for his in
.dulgepce in gambling. A leading Radi-
cal remarked to-day that the Cumming
scandal would have an influence on the
future of Great Britain that could not
be measured in this generation. ~
AS stated in these dispatches on
Wednesday, Lord Middleton, brother-in-
law of Sir William, has been his hacker
from the first in the effort to redeem
his name from disgrace, and his lord
ships appearance in court yesterday
was the open assertion of sympathy he
has all along felt and displayed for his
unfortunate relative Cumming has
many friends also among the audience
and fair proportion especially seem to
be his attentive admirers.

OF disinterested labor and effort on the
part of the women of Mississippi has
eliminated in the final unveiling of the
monument to the confederate dead of
Mississippi 1t is big day for the ex-
confederstes, their wives, sons and
daughters. Not only are they here
from every bill and dale in Mississippi,
but every southern state has it's repre-
sentation, some small and others large.
Nor is the south alone participating in
the jubilation Of the day, for several
eastern and western states are repre-
sented, Iowa especially having large
contingent. Scores of special trains ar
rived here in the night and morning, and
an almost unbroken stream of people has
poured out from the depot up the turn
pike road to the little town. The total
number of outside visitors is variously
estimated at from 10000 to 10000.
Early in the morning a reception was
rendered to the confederate veterans at
the capitol building. They were there
in force, and many comrades clasped
hands who had not met since the close
of the war. There were greetings
warm and cordial, and many affecting
scenes were enacted. Among the
prominent veterans present were: Gov.
Gordon of Georgia, commander of the
United Confederate Veterans; Gen. E.
Kirby Smith, of Manassas fame; Gen.
Gabel, former Virginian, but now of
Texas; Brig. Gen. J. NJ. Billups and
Gov. Stone of Mississippi; Gen. j.

O'Clock, on the moment the big bell OF
the courthouse rang out the signal for
the head of the procession to move, and
while the 'rebel yell" issues from
thousands of strong lungs, ten com
panies of the Mississippi National
Guard wheeled around the corner and up
the broad avenue. Behind the
last company, and drawn by ten
white horses, came float CARRYING fif-
teen yonng 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 confederate veteran, and every one
was more than fair to look upon, being
regarded as a belle in her particular
state. 1t was a magnificent tableau,
and the cheers and ''rebel yells" that
greeted the float as it passed from block
to block were deafening. These were
the fair representatives:

felony for any one to keep a glandered
horse over "a hours, the penalty fixed
being Imprisonment in the penitentiary.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
weather and Crops.


The Tennessee weather-crop bulletin
for the week ending Saturday, June
1891, issued by the Meteorological De
partment of the State Board of Health,
cooperating with the United States
Signal Service, is as follows:
With the exception of light, local
showers in few favored localities,
portions, the State has been under the
influence of very disastrous drouth,
intensified during the last three or four
days by abnormally high temperature
and drying winds, with high per-
centage of sunshine, and, as result,
most crops are rapidly lessening in per-
centage of condition and prospects.
Wheat still continues to promise we'll,
despite the adverse conditions of drouth,
rust and the small green parasite that
is reported from many counties as in
Testing the head. The extent of injury,
if any, has not yet been determined,
but it is not thought to be serious.
Harvest has already begun and is pro-
crossing favorably.
Early corn is IL fair condition, but
needs rain to promote further growth.
Late planting is not doing we'll; some
of it is not up. Some corn was planted
during the week. The crop is clean and
we'll cultivated, and only needs good
rain to give it good start.
Cotton is in bad condition, and the
prospects for the crop in this State are
anything but favorable. The unfavor-
able conditions of the weather since it
was planted have greatly reduced the
prospects. Bad stands are the rule, and
everywhere farmers have been plowing
up and planting the land to corn. 1t is
almost to late now too hope for a crop
from late paintings. 1t will depend on
very late frost.
In some portions of the tobacco dis
tricts there were good local showers
early in the week, and where sufficient
rain fell considerable area was set out
in plants, but those favored places were
few. The best rains reported were in
Robertson County. Plants in the bed
are reported suffering for rain and are
firing, besides getting overgrown and
will soon be unfit for transplanting.
In some sections little or none has been
set. About one-third of the area has
been set.
Irish potatoes are greatly damaged
by the drouth and the yield is much
lessened In Sumner it is estimated
that some fields will not yield more
than five or six barrels per acre. The
crop is cut short elsewhere and will be
late.
Reports from the present crop are
very unfavorable; bad stands on account
of rotting and failure to germinate will
materially lessen the yield.
The week has been favorable for saw
ing hay, and a great deal has been cut.
Most of it was greatly shortened by the
drouth.
Pastures are rapidly failing, and
young clover is reported dying every
where from the effects of the drouth.
But little millet sown.
Garden products are failing. Fruit is
falling badly in most parts of the State
and the yield will be lessened.
This drouth is, perhaps, the most dis
astrous that has occurred in many years
past, coming, as it does, at that period
of growth of most crops that require
plenty of moisture for their growth and
development. At present there is
good prospect for local rains in the
central portion of the Stale.

Meeting of the State viticultura1 Con
,,aiasio,,- In nafrnntiuo Rannrfa

Meeting of the State viticultural Com
mission-Instructive Reports.
SAN Francisco, June Sat the semi
annual meeting of the state viticultural
commission today, Charles A. Wetmore.
chief viticultural officer, made report
regarding the extension of the market
for grapes. He stated that it is of inn
portance to the wine growers OF Califor-
MIA that the sweet wine law be con-
tinued 80 as to permit eastern wine-
makers to make wines out of grapes
only, and where it is impossible to
obtain sufficient saccharine strength in
one place, it is presumed they will be
permitted to obtain it in an
other, provided that the material
used comes solely from the grape, and
is used in connection with the legitd
mate fermentation of the grapes pro-
cured in the vicinity of the wine-maker.
He desires that eastern wine-makers be
permitted, by ruling of the depart
ment at Washington, to use condensed
or boiled grape juice from California,
whenever their necessities require it..
The intention of the law as it stands
was simply to prevent the use of free
spirits in the manufacture of bogus,
imitation or adulterated wines.
Mr.. Wetmore proposes to increase the
market value of wine grapes in Cali
f0rnia as follows: By drying and by
establishing brandy distilleries on the
cooperative principle, in vineyard dis
tficts. The report contained lengthy
synopsis Of his plan.
William G. Spencer, who has been
working under instructions of the viii
cultural commission for the past two
months, for the purpose of clarifying
wines and killing ferments by the use of
an alternative electric current, sub
mitted a report describing the process.
twas the unanimous opinion of the
commissioners that under such system
wines had been materially improved
and had acquired qualities which would
have been secured by years of ageing.
The resignation of G. A. Wetmore as
chief executive officer was accepted,
and in his place Clarence ]. Wetmore
was appointed. The following officers
were elected to serve for the ensuing
six. months; President, j. De Barth
Shorb, of San Gabriel; vice-presidant,
