WASHINToN, March Ex-senator Hill
left here Oh his Southern tour at II
o'clock tonight over the Burlington &
Ohio and the Norfolk & Western rail-
roads, and will be absent from Wash
ington about a week. Accompanying

ham, Ala. at Roanoke, Va, where
the party stops for breakfast tomorrow
morning, arrangements are being made
to give the senator hearty welcome,
and, although the programme of his
journey
COntemplates No Speeches
until jackson. Miss. is reached, he will
be infleXible indeed if he does not yield
to their pressing invitation for five
minutes talk after rising from the break
fast table. In the same way the people
of Bristol, Knoxville, Chattanooga and
Birmingham are preparing to give their
Northern visitor all ovation as his train
passes through, and if his rule to make
no five-minute speeches be not more
honored in its breach than IN it's OBJ
servance, his tour will be notable eX-
ception to those of most public men.
The party will reach Jackson, the cap
-ital city of Mississippi, Tuesday,
the 18th, when Senator Hill,
in response to an invitation of
Some weeks ago, will address

he expresses it, like any other ordi-
nary Demscrat." and the tenders of
private cars by the railroad companies
have all been courteouSly declined.
