CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Atlanta Not Big Enough to Accom-
modate the Crowds.

ATLANTA (Ga.), July 21.-The
crowds attending the reunion of Con-
federate veterans are larger than an
ticipated, and last night several
churches were thrown open for the ac-
commodation of late arrivals.
General John b. Gordon called the
convention to order in the Auditorium
at Piedmont Park at 1O:30 to-day. He
said:
I'VE are all Confederate men and
women. but we are also Americans, and
proud of our country. (Cheers.) God
has blessed it as He has blessed no
other nation. 1t becomes US, who have
been spared by His providence to sing
praises to Him, and l want the men
whose shouts have been heard on many
battlefields to join in a hymn of praise"
The report Of the Historical Commit
tee was presented by its Chairman,
General Stephen D. Lee, of Mississippi.
The report says in part: I'm the just
war in which our country is at present
engaged, our comrades now living and
descendants of those who have passed
away have nobly used the opportunity
to demonstrate to the world their ar
dor, their patriotism and their readi-
ness TO devote their lives in defense of

He may be fatally wounded, but he

Where the Soldiers Come From.

1t was an earnest and enthusiastic
company drilling in Cass Park. There
were not to exceed dozen in the ranks
and the average age was about q
years. Broom handles crossed their
shoulders at various angles and ele-
vations, a few had toy pistols, and a
little chap with an eight-inch snare
drum furnished the music.

TRANSPORTATION CONTRACTS.
Those Going to Klondike Should be
Careful About Them.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-In a report
to the State Department, United States
Consul Dudley at Vancouver, B. c.,
says that care should be taken by those
who contemplate going to the gold fields
in entering into transportation con-
tracts. Certain companies have OBJ
tanned a considerable sum of money
Generally $500 for each persOn) upon
very ingeniously worded contracts that
the persons paying should be trans
ported to the gold fields in the North
with all necessary outfit furnished and
expenses paid. In three cases in which
men have paid their money, they have
been brought at slight expense to Van
couver and other ports and then aban-
doned. The men who had contracted
with one of these companies became
suspicious at Vancouver, but after an
explanation by the agent of the COM
pany they agreed to go forward. The
Consul says he received a letter from
one of the party from Fort Wrangel,
Alaska, saying that the company in
duced his party TO go to Wrangel, and
after pulling the provisions up the
Stickeen for fourteen miles sent them
into camp, where they have remained
ever since. When asked to be put
ahead they were put off with promises
and now feel that the company does not
intend to do anything. The party is
now at the camp far from home and
without money. 1t consists of thirty
men from the Old Bay State. The
ConsuIs suggests that persons desiring
TO enter the gold fields take every pos
sible precaution. He says he has abun-
dant evidence that several companies
are now and have been for some
months engaged in the nefarious traffic
referred to.

HORSES IN BATTLE.
They Feel the Exu1tation Of War in
Common With Their Riders.

A veteran cavalry horse partakes of
the hopes and fears of battle just the
same as his rider. AS the column
swings into line and waits, the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. IT
the wait is spun out he will tremble
and sweat and grow apprehensive. 1T
he has been six months in service he
knows every bugle call. AS the call
comes to advance the rider can feel him
working at the bit with his tongue
to get it between his teeth. AS he moves
out he will either seek to get on faster
than he should or bolt. He cannot bolt,
however. The lines will carry him for
ward, and after minute he will grip
the bit lay back his ears, and one can
feel his sudden resolve to brave the
worst and have done with it as soon
as possible. When the troopers begin
to cheer and the sabers to flash the
horse responds An exultation fills his
heart; he will often scream out, and
his eyes blaze and are fixed steadily
in front. No matter how obstinate he
was at the start, he will not fail as
the lines cover the last fifty feet of
space. If a volley comes and he is
unhurt he will lower his head and toss
it right and left, and then take a sud-
den breath for the crash. If charging
infantry he will thunder straight at
a man and knock him down: if against
a line of horsemen he will lift his head
and front feet as if going over fence.
A man seldom cries out when hit in
the turmoil of battle. 1t is the same
with horse. Five troopers out of six
when struck by a bullet are out of their
saddles within a minute If hit in the
breast or shoulder up go their hands
and they get heavy fall; If in the

said the fact that the Bessemer pig iron

cents per ton, effective August 1st, may
