Louisville, June 2.-The tenth an
nual reunion of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans adjourned to meet next
year at Memphis. The last session of
the convention was practically devoid
OF incident, but the latter part Of the
morning session was full of excite
ment. The trouble arose at the con-
clusion Of the presentation of the re-
port Of the committee on resolutions.
which included a resolution by w. H.
BuIgynOn Of North Carolina to the
effect that the convention recognized
with appreciation the language of Gen
eral Daniel E. Sickels, the orator at
the annual reunion of the Army OF
the Potomac at Fredericksburg, in
which Gen. Sickles had mentioned
most kindly the men of the confeder-
acy, and the resolution said the con-
federates reciprocated the feeling
shown toward them by the men of
the Army of the Potomac Col. J. H.
Sheperd of Richmond, Va, secured
the floor and said: Il want no CO.
quoting with the Yankees who defeat
ed us. For Gods sake do not accept
anything from their hands. Don't ac-
cept anything from union soldiers.
Vote it down, comrades, vote it down."
Instantly there was terrific
| uproar. Dozens of delegates were on
! their feet demanding recognition from
the chair. Gen. Gordon finally restored
order, and in response to a call for his
| opinion said: Il trust the time will
/ never come, while l stand on southern
! ground, or among the chivalrOus men
of the south, when | will refuse to send
a kindly message to the enemy"
Then, coming down to the front rail OF
the platform, Gen. Gordon raised his
voice in emphatic earnestness, saying:
I know the sender of this message.
On the heights of Gettysburg he stood
calamity in front of my lines, and it
was my bullets sent him to the rear
with his leg Off For me I am going to
reciprocate the kindly message of the
northern soldiers" Wild cheers greet
ed his declaration. The resolution was
| adopted with roar of assent. 1t was
! finally decided that no parade should
be held, and the convention adjourned
! The scenes at last nights ball at Re-
union hall repeated on a more elabor-
ate scale the bill reunion ball. Of 25,-
| 600 persons entitled to admission, it is
estimated $500 had visited the hall by
midnight.

copyrighted by Associated Press)
London, June 3.-When England IS
not talking of peace in south Africa
and the manner of its accomplishments
the topic of the day is the dissolution
OF parliament and the possible retire
ment of Lord Salisbury. The Specta-
tor, surmises that Salisbury will give
up the ministry of foreign affairs, con-
tenting himself with being premier
only. He has never mentioned such
contingency, and his spirits are equally
good, while his interest in home and
foreign affairs is keener than ever.
Salisbury's utterances last week were
saved from being a mere collection Of
platitudes by the frank declaration that
mot shred of independence" could be
left to the boer republics. This
was intended to be. taken as an answer
to any peace-seeking messages
that Kruger might be contemplating.
Discussion anent the date of dissolu-
ton is still in the air. Chamberlain
fayors an early appeal to the country,
but Salisbury will not formally discuss
the matter until Roberts so shapes the
! military aspect Of south Africa that
there cannot be a shadow of doubt as
to the completeness Of the British
victory. In the meanwhile the rank
and file Of the unionists are clamoring
for an early appeal to the electors.
while the liberals wrathfuIly dispute
the morality Of an attempt to sweep
| the country on a khaki platform" or
in other words, Of making political
capital out Of military success.
The Chinese question is Attracting
public interest here, yet the ravages of
the boxers" and the landing of the
British and other armed parties have
scarcely caused a f1utter of excitement,
for Lord Salisbury does not believe the
| latest outbreak will result in anything
serious. That it will bring up acutely
the question of partition of China is a
possibility at present, considered too
remote for any expression of opinion
! The attitude of the British
foreign office may be described
as nothing less than phlegma tic.
Perhaps the Chinese policy is Sails
bury's weakest point. But as a matter
of fact England cannot have any far
east policy. A colonial question which
has come up prominently during the
last few days is the reported desire of
Newfoundland to be federated with
Canada. All the British organs favor
the project, but some of them express
doubt if the French canadian premier
would be willing

MANY PENSION BILLS PASSED.
House Puts Through 100 and Then
AdjourDs.

Washington, May 31.-The program
Of the leaders of the house contemplate
ed launching a debate upon the anti
trust resolution and bill, but there was
strong undercurrent in favor of ad-
journment on account of decoration
day.
The Chinese commission bill, which
was under consideration several
weeks ago, has gone back to the cal
endar, a motion to strike out the en-
acting clause having been defeated
yesterday. Immediately after reading
the journal, Mr. Dalzell presented a
special order from the committee on
rules for consideration of the resolu-
ton for constitutional amendment,
with provision for a vote today at 5
o'clock, and the antitrust bill Friday,
with provision for a vote at 4 o'clock
that day. Mr.. Dalzell asked
for the previous question on the rule.
M. Brown (Ohio) appealed to Dalzell
to withdraw his demand in order that
the house might adjourn out of respect
to the day. This side is agreeable to
. that" observed Mr.. Richardson, leader
of the minority The democrats
showed jubilation over the evidence
Of discussions on the republican side.
Il am not authorized to withdraw the
rule" replied Mr.. DaIzelI, but | will
withdraw the demand and allow any
gentleman to ask the unanimous con-
sent of the house to devote any day to
consideration of private pension bills.
No one accepted the offer, and Mr.. Dali
zell himself withdrew the special or
der. The motion to adjourn was lost
107 to 118.
A vote was taken on the pending
question to strike out the enacting
clause Of the Chinese commission bill
The motion was lost 105 to 100, and the
bill went back to the calendar. The
consideration Of private pension bills
was resumed. After the first one had
been read Mr.. Talbert Is. c., who is
the bills, and Mr.. Grosvenor
(Ohio) became engaged in a contro-
versy. Mr.. Talbert withdrew his OBJ
lection. The 100 pension bills passed,
and the house adjourned as a mark Of
respect to the day

St. Louis, June 3.-The citizens

mitted could not be accepted by the
union and intimated that the company
did not grant the concessions they led
the strikers to believe they would
make. The members of the LIST Tegi-
ment, national guard, received orders
to report this morning.
