zen. Gordon, in opening the proceed
ings, stated that the session would neces-
sarlly be a very short one. There was
some business yet to be transacted. but
1t would be promptly disposed of to afford
all an opportunity of attending the cere-
monies incident TO laying the stone of the
Davis monument. Gen. Gordon. on behalf
OF the confederate veterans thanked the
people of Richmond for their unbounded
hospitality In doing so the general made
feeling address In which he expressed
the heartfelt and everlasting gratitude of
every veteran, whether from the north
or south, to the grand people of the dear
old city Of Richmond, and her proud moth
er of states, Virginia. He believed every
man, woman and child who came to this
reunion had been made better by being
here. He had nothing but pity for the
man who would say that this great meet
ing had been for any other purpose than
for good to the country and mankind.
veteran from Augusta, Ga, was rec
ognized and he presented a memorial from
the confederate veterans of that city
asking that the name of united veterans
be changed TO Confederate Survivors As
ISOLATION. Delegates asked that the me-
mortal be spread upon the minutes, and
that the adjutant general be instructed
to send copies to the various camps for
action and report to the next meeting
This was adopted.
An invitation was received from the
Philadelphia brigade asking the confed-
crate veterans to attend the reunion of the
blue and the gray at Washington on Sept
16, when a monument to the brigade is to
be unveiled on the field of Antietan. Gen
Gordon said this paper would be spread
upon the records and a copy sent to the
camps for action.
DR.. j. William Jones, the chaplain, said
he was opposed to this, for the Philadel-
phia Brigade was the body that kicked
up a row in Richmond about marching
behind a confederate flag several years
ago.
DIR. Jones belongs to a church that
believes in conversion. Our friends, said
Gen. Gordon, have long since repented
their action
Yes. but they should bring forth fruit
meet for repentance" responded the doc
tor.
The invitation took the course indicated
by Gen. Gordon.
A paper from a Louisiana camp in ref
erence to a monument to the southern
women was by a rising vote referred to
the monument committee. Gen. Gordon
said 1t would not be allowed to sleep
there.
A paper sent from Fredericksburg in re-
ference to the establishment of a national
park to include the battlefield grounds
at that city was adopted
After adopting resolutions of thanks to
the people of Richmond and giving three
cheers for Gen. Gordon al the suggestion
of a one-armed veteran, the sixth annual
reunion of United Confederate Veterans
was declared by the chairman adjourned

Chicago, ILL.,, July 2.-The silver people

mony that prevailed and the outspoken

and his associates. that the national com
mittee, at its meeting on Monday, would
be disposed to meet the silverltes at least
half way, were overruled by the more rad
zeal spirits, who succeeded in creating the
impression that the diplomatic mood of
the national subcommittee was simply
part and parcel of the plot to delay a def
mite statement of its intentions until it
was too late for the silver men to agree
upon any settled plan concerning the tenn
porary organization and carry it into eff
feet.
THE gold bugs are plotters, and we
must act as though no national commit
tee were in existence" was Senator Ben
Tillmar's note of defiance, shrieked, rath-
er than spoken, and this will be the
keynote of the silVerites from now on
Iney 90 not propose to rest on their oars,
even with the assurance that they have
an overwhelming majority at their beck
and call. a muster roll of the delegates
is being prepared. Each name will be
checked off as the delegate may be in
structed for silver, has preference for sill
yer or is instructed or favorable to the
gold standard. Each arriving silver del
egate Is to be brought into camp by COM
mittees designated for that purpose and
assurances demanded that he intends to
be firm to the faith that is in him. In
this way, so far as concerns their own
phalanx, the silver generals will know
where they stand to a man at the final
roundup on the eve of the convention.
The subcommittee of the national hi
metallic democratic committee held an
informal meeting this morning and issued
a call for a meeting of the general COM
mittee, and all the silver delegates on
the ground tomorrow night The mail OF
the committee was unusually heavy this
morning, and in it were the credentials
of some fifteen silver state delegations
This brought about the deVelopment
which has hither been kept secret. thar
months ago the national bfmetallic COM
mittee laid plans by which IL should be
furnished with signed duplicates Of the
credentials of every set of silver dele
gates elected to the convention from each
state and territory. These duplicates are
in every respect a counterpart Of the ORR
ginals and are not even Endorsed as ''du-
plicates," and hence may be used as orr
ginal credentials If occasion requires.

ODD FEATURES OF ANIMAL LIFE.
Southern California observations.

Pasadena, Cal, June 1.-The stroller in
Southern California familiar with eastern
forms of life is continually meeting
strange contradictions in the habits of
animals and plants. Where there Is SO
much verdure Of a semi-tropical nature
one would expect warm nights, but the
reverse is true. The nights on the Paci-
fic coast are extremely cool when con-
frasted with the day, and have a singular
effect upon animal life. The birds seek
the hedges thick trees, and bushes at
night while the Insects and reptiles enter
every twenty-four hours an almost COM
plete state of hibernation, or, more prop
erly, a state OF coma.
Near my point of vantage is pile OF
