TPE PRESIDENTS TOUR.

President Mckinley brought hi:
memorable tour OF the South to an enc
at Augusta, Ca, last night. The day
was devoted to reviewing troops.
The President and his party were
enthusiastically received at Macon
Among those in front of the station
was the Bibb County Camp of the Con-
federate Survivors Association, four
hundred strong. Their commander,
G.. NJ. Wiley, extended him a cordial
welcome. AT the conclusion of his ed.
dress he said
"Mr. President, on behalf of these
brave and manned Confederate soldiers
of Bib county, Ga, l present to you
this parchment, engrossed in letters Of
gold, the beautiful sentiment expressed
by you in our capital city in regard
to our nonored dead"
As the President was about to pro.
coed DR.. Roland B. Hall, another vet
eran, addressed him as follows:
"Mr. President, in behalf of our no.
BILE dead and as Confederate veterans
We are here to manifest our apprecia-
ton of the noble and generous senti-
ment you have recently uttered. Do
us the honor, sir, to accept and wear
this badge of Confederate veterans
association, which bears your likeness
and words which should endear you to
the heart OF every Confederate"
II do not know that it will be prop.
err" said the President.
"But you must" said DR.. Hall, and
without further ceremony the Presi-
dent marched ahead with Judge Speer.
The sight of the Confederate badge on
the Presidents coat as he passed
through the lines of veterans called
forth vociferous cheering.
The President wore the badge dur.
ing his stay in Macon. One of Gen.
Wheeler's old cav .l1ymen also pinned
badge to the lapel of his maj or-een-
erals coat, and the doughty little war
rior proudly wore it away with him
when he left the city.
The presidential party was driven 10
carriages to the stand where the Presi-
dent was to review the troops of Gen.
Bates's division of Gen. Wilson's army
corps.
AS the Presidents carriage passed
the Confederate monument an old Con-
federate veteran frantically waved a
Confederate flag, while by his side was
the son of the colonel OF one OF
Georgia's hardest fighting Confederate
regiments, who was as vigorously wav-
ing the Stars and Stripes.
After the review o great crowd gath.
cred about the stand, though O steady
soaking rain was falling.
The President in his speech dwelt
upon the recent war with Spain, and
in conclusion said: "We have not only
triumphed over the enemy, but we
have triumphed over our own preju-
dices, and are now a united country"
Prolonged applause and cheers follow
ed his remarks.

An Irish Party.

DoUBLIN, Dec. 2O.-The leaderless
and issueless condition of the liberal
party in England has led to great i'm
patience among Irish nationalist who
see their hopes and their cause at q
standstill. The idea of united Irish
party acting independently of British
parties gains supporters every day
Such party would not be long in form
ing were it not for the rivalry of Irish
leaders. Mr.. Redmond suggests a
small committee which shall be repre-
sentative of all shades of nationalist
opinion. Mr.. Dillon, on the other baud,
favors large meeting of members of
the Irish nationalist parties, while Mr..
Healy is holding off and his present
opinion is not available. A statement
is often made that ii the Irish party
had left Gladstone when he did not dis
solve parliament on the rejection OF the
home rule bill Of 1898, they would be
nearer to obtaining home rule than
they are now. 1t was only Gladstone's
personality that held together such 10
sympathiziDg elements as Irishmen,
Scottish radicals and English liberals.
These elements are now apart and the
Irish cause not having learned to stand
alone, scarcely stands at all. Yet act
ing Independently the prospects of an
Irish party would not be especially
bright at present. They might, how
ever, wait for revival of political in
terest in England and, when liberals
aud tories should become more evenly
divided, obtain their desires by holding
a balance of power.

The Secret Dossier.

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-A dispatch from
Paris says that the court of cessation
has demanded of the minister of war
the communication to the court of the
secret dossier, promising that every
precaution will be taken to prevent the
contents of the document from becom-
ing generally known and the in
terests of the national defense shall not
be endangered by the communication
of this evidence to the court.
PARIS, Dec. 20-A proclamation is
sued by the anti-Semitic league relative
to the existence OF the secret dossier
and posted throughout the city asserts
that Dreyfus betrayed the country and
was justly condemned, therefore the
government should put an end to the
revision proceedings and deal vigorous
ly with the insulters of the army. Con-
Guiding the proclamation declares that
if the government fails to do so. the
people will assume the exercise of their
rights Upon the ground that the coun-
try is threatened.

RoANoKE's CURFEw LAw.-The
Roanoke Times says: The small bows
were not on the streets last night.
At 7:45 o'clock Sergeant Manual rang
the fire bell, which warned them that
they must be at their homes at S O'Clock.
In case boys are at work and are neces-
ssrily compelled to be out after the
hour prescribed by law, they should
carry 8 permit from their parents sta
ting where they are employed and
what time they are expected to get
home. Boys who are past sixteen
years of age should get certificate
from their parents to that effect. The
police force do not recognize general
permits which allow boys under sixteen
TO be out ct all times of night and
those who are out with no specific pur-
pose will be summoned to police court.
Two boys were summoned on Satur-
day night, one of whom claimed he
was 16 years, but III size he does nos
look it, hence the idea of giving tbs
certificate to those who have arrived at
that age.

TUESDAY EVENING. DEC. 20. 1895.

THERE ARE two bills now before Con-
gress in which Alexandria county is
very much interested, one for bridge
across the Potomac at Arlington, and
the other for the establishment of a
national agricultural experimental sta
ton on an unused part of the Arlington
reservation, but, as previously stated
in the Gazette's Washington correspon-
dence, neither hiss the ghost OF chance
of success, and neither will even be
taken up in the House for considera'
ton. There are too many bills in which
the people of Philadelphia and other
Northern communities, and those of the
conquered provinces are interested for
any time to be wasted on such as will
benefit Virginians.

FIVE MAsoNs AcCUsED.-A dispatch
from Binghamton, n. Y, says: A
scrap of typewriter paper found lying
en- the sidewalk has caused decided
sensation in the Masonic fraternity.
The finder was prominent Mason and
he recognized the paper as written Sc.
crets of Masonic degree, the revela-
ton of which was violation OF a most
solemn oath. The paper was sent to
the Grand Master of the State, who or
dered thorough Investigation, the re-
suit of which was that five prominent
Mesons, one of whom was candidate
for Master of OJsininge Lodge, we're
accused. Deputy Grand Master Wal
ter Hand visited the lodge and an
nounced that he had been authorized
to Withdraw the charter and expel the
members implicated, but thinking it
more a mistake than an intentional er-
ror, he would investigate further before
taking radical measures.

THE squabble between two OF the
Confederate women's associations in

boats and auxiliary cruisers sunk By
Americans or by the Spsniards to pre-
vent them from falling into the hands
Of the Americans.
When the subject ofrsising the sunk
en- parts of the Maine was brought be-
fore the board a lively discussion oc-
cured. 1t was commended, in opposition
to asking private firms TO furnish pro-
posals for raising the sunken hulk, that
public secrets might be revealed if the
vessel was brought to the surface in
stead of being destroyed.
A majority of the board, however,
was of the apinion that the government
should throw open the work to private
competition, and report containing
that recommendation will be presented
to Secretary Long.
