Senator Baker Leaves Leavenworth
for His Official Duties.

Leavenworth, Dec Ex-senator Baker
left yesterday afternoon at o'clock for
Washington, where he will assume his du-

some days on account of a fall he receiv-

him to his home until few de VS. ago.
In speaking of his work at Washington

LAYTON NOT A HERO.
Tells Alabamians That He is Only
Regular Soldier.

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 1.-THE pres
fdent and his party were given a mag
nificent welcome in the confederacy's
first capital yesterday. The presidents
train was escorted from Atlanta to
Tuskegee and hence here by the state
assembly, Governor Johnston, Chief JUS
tice Mcclellan and a party of ladies.
The assembly'S train came in ahead
of the president. At the union station
the presidential party was met by the
governor committees from the assem-
bly,, the mayor and city council and the
Commercial and Industrial association.
Mayor Clisby received the president
with q we'll WOrded speech at the sta
ton. The whole party was then taken
in carriages through the leading bust
ness and residence streets to the old
confederate capitol. The entire route
was ablaze with the national colors,
while tremendous crowds lined the
streets as far as the eye could reach.
No such gathering has been seen here
since Mr.. Cleveland's visit during his
first term. Capitol hill was one mass
of humanity when the lines ofcarriageS,
escorted by the local military companies
reached it at 3 o'clock. When Governor
Johnston escorted President Mckinley
into the hall there was tremendous
demonstration.
Governor Johnston made a brief
speech in which he took occasion to say
that Ala bama had nothing to take back
for what she did in 1861 but that she
was back in the union to stay and that
she welcomed the president OF the re-
united country to the historic spot
around the assemblage.
In the course of his reply President
Mckinley said;
ITO be welcomed here in the city Of
Montgomery, the first capital of the
confederate states, warmly and en-
Enthusiastically welcomed as the president
of a common country, has filed and
thrilled me with emotion.
THE governor says he has nothing to
take back. We have nothing to take
back for having kept you in the Union;
we are glad you did not go out, and you

M'KINLEY'S STOCKING
Will Probably Contain the Peace
Treaty on Christmas Morning.

Southampton, Eng, Dec. ITO the
fntervtewers who besieged the American
peace commissioners here today before
they sailed for New York on the Ameri-
can line steamer St. Louis. the commits
sioners said they could not discuss the
terms of the treaty of peace with Spain.
Whitelaw Reid and Judge Day were
much interested in the interview of the
Manila correspondent of the Associated
Press with Admiral Dewey, but they
would not discuss either that matter or
the protest made by Agoncillo, the rep
resentative of Aguinaldo, the Philippine
leader. Judge Day said the treaty Of
peace would probably be delivered to
President Mckinley on December "a.
but, he added, it was impossible to say
whether it would be presented to the
present senate or to that which comes
into office in March next. This, the judge
added, is a. matter which the president
Will decide.
