CONFEDERATES' PLANS.
There will be No Joint Pa
rade i'm New York.

Washington, D. c., March 5.-The de-
cision published by Gen. Walker, COM
mander of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, in reference to the proposed joint
parade in New York on July 4, was
called to the attention of Senator Cor
don of Georgia, who has been command
er-in-chief of the United Confederate
and he was asked if he purposed to take
any action looking to a change of the
date of the next annual meeting of the
ConfederateS at Richmond, June 80, and
July 1 and 2.
Gen. Gordon replied: ''This dats was
finally decided upon in order to permit
the Confederates who came from further
South to go to New York Immediately
after the adjournment and take part i'll
the joint parade, but | see no reason for
changing the date of our reunion, which
was called to meet at Richmond by the
last annual meeting at Houston, Tex,
and although the date could legally be
changed by me, vet | shall not do. so
unless | find it to be the wish of
majority of the q. c. V. S. camp and
suited to the convenience of the people
of Richmond, who have been most gen
erous in making provision for our eEter-
tainment.
1T will readily be seen that no change
can be contemplated if it in any meas
ure incommodes our host, the people of
Richmond. OF course it would not be
entirely incompatible with our self-re-
spect as ex-Confederates to take any
part in the proposed joint parade. | do
not wish, however, to discuss the action
of Gen. Walker 1t has been my effort
since the war to cultivate the most cor
dial relations between the soldiers of the
two armies and between the people Of the
sections. | am glad to know that | have
had the cordial sympathy and approval
of my old comrades in this effort and
also wish to add in this connection that
l have had the most cordial manifesto.

Leadyille Col, March 5.-There was
most intense excitement i'll this city last

the Herald Democrat office. There was
some difficulty in obtaining a flag of
Spain, but finally one was discovered in
the stock of dry goods merchant and
the crowd quickly found kindling wood.
With a mighty cheer the wood was ig-
nited and while the crowd sang "Ameri-

was consumed to ashes.

Her Navy Should Equal Any
Combination.

the House of Commons today. John
Redmond (Parnellite) declared that, in
view Of the manner i'll which Ireland was
oyer-taxed, he would oppose every vote
of increase and insist in each case upon
a division.
Sir Charles Dixie thought the naval
programme was inadequate. The navy,
he insisted, ought to be superior to any
combination, as it was doubtful if a
hand would be raised by any other nation
to save Great Britain if she were en-
gagged in a death struggle.

FOOD FOR THE BRITISH NAVY.
Armour g. Co. of Chicago Get Big Com
tract.

Halifax, N. S., March 4.-The con
tracts for meat supplies for the British
North American squadron have just
been accepted, and Armour & Co. of
Chicago will furnish all the sailed and
canned meats required. The success of
Armour & Co. in getting this business,
it is said, makes them the supply house
for the entire British navy SO far as
preserved meats are concerned.
One of the unusual features in connec-
ton with the contract is that the agree
ment covers period of two years,
whereas it is customary to arrange for
but one years provisions at a time. 4
year ago the British authorities paid
Canadian meat packers higher prices
than usual to furnish this class of pro-
visions to the warships, the idea being
to encourage the business and keep it
within the empire, but this year the con-
tracts have gone back to Armour u
Co.. who have held some of them be-
