Confederate Reunion in Session at
Louisville.
The ADDRESSES OF WELCOME.
Largest Attendance Present of Any
Reunion Yet Held-LouisviiIe's Ho:.
pitality.

Louisville, KY, Special.-Surround
ed by waving banners bearing the
fiery cross of the Confederacy, listeI-
ing to the cheers from the throats Of
5000 men who wore the Gray and con-
fronted by the waving handkerchief
Of hundreds of ladies, General John B.
Gordon, commander of the United
Confederate Veterans, formally open
ed the tenth annual reunion of the
order which in point of attendance is
already the largest ever held. All
things conspired to make the occasion
a success, with the exception of the
weather, which was about as dis
agreeable as it well could be. All
through the early hours of the morn
ing the rain came down in sheets.
For an hour previous to the time set
for the opening of the meeting the
veterans and their friends made their
way in steady stream to the hall and
by 1880 it was we'll filled. A portion
OF the Georgia delegation, headed by
a drum corps, came marching in, max
ing the building ring with martial
music and calling forth cheers from
those assembled in the hall A veteran
from Georgia moved the crowd to
genuine enthusiasm when he came in,
carrying the old battle flag Of the
Third Georgia Infantry. Scarcely had
he taken his seat when the band struck
up Dixie" and then came the old
rebel yell, and it came with fire and
vigor that never was surpassed during
the days Of the war. On the platform
beside General Poyntz were General
S. B. Buckner, Rev. J. VIM. Jones,
Hon. J. H. Reagan, the only surviving
member of the cabinet of Jefferson
Davis; len. J. H. West, Col. Thomas
w. Bullitt, Col. B. H. Young, Rev.
Carter H. Jones, DR.. B. NJ. Palmer and
others.
The mayor, whose speech was re-
ceived with much applause, was fol-
lowed by Col. Thomas F. Bullitt, who
welcomed the visitors to Louisville in
behalf Of the board Of trade. Mr..
Carter Jones extended the welcome in
behalf Of the Commercial Club of this
city.

Quiet In Peking.

Pekin, by Cable.-American and 9TH
er foreign guards numbering 349 arriv-
ed here in the midst Of the Dragon fes-
tival. The streets were unusually
crowded and, though the people were
greatly interested in the annual spec
tacle, no manifestation Of hostility was
made. The presence of the guards has
had a marked effect upon the bearing
Of the Chinese towards foreigners. The
boxers" are evidently moving afield.
Unfortunately no leaders of the box
ers" have been arrested, though their
capture would have been easy. All the
government has done has been to occu-
py the scenes Of disturbances and no.
fead repressive measures have been ta-,

Methodist Conference Adjourns.

Chicago, Special.-The conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal church came
to an end Tuesday, after session Of
four pweeks. The conference has re-
suited in many radical changes in the
laws and policy of the church. 1t was
the largest in the history Of the church
and its sessions were attended by thou-
sands. Principal among the important
actions of the conference were the abol-
ition Of the time limit on pastorates;
the ratification of the equal representa-
tion amendment as proposed by the
Rocky River conference. together with
the seating of the provisional lay dele
gates; the adoption OF new constitu-
Gon, subject to the approval of the va
rioug annual conferences, including the
substitution OF the words Of LAY mem
bers" for the term "laymen," thus per-
mitting the seating of women in the
general conferences, and the election OF
two additional missionary bishops.
One thing the conference refused to do
was to modify paragraph 24S Of the
Discipline, which, among other things,
forbids attendance upon theatres, cir
cuses and dancing.

Must STAY.

Havana, by Cable.-Rumors having
reached the authorities that Mr.. Rath-
bone intended to leave the island Of
Cuba, he was notified that his presence
was absolutely required in Havana un-
til the investigation into the postal af-
fairs had been completed. The postal
officials now in charge state there are
most cogent reasons why Mr.. Rathbone
should remain in Cuba, even if they
were compelled to resort to force 20
keep him here. 1t is understood that
additional important facts connecting
the officials with postal frauds have
been brought to the ears of the author
tiles here, who, however wish to
avoid even the appearance Of harsh
ness in dealing with these cases.

crate Veterans adjourned sine die at
6 o'clock Friday afternoon. The meet
ing of 1901 will be held in Memphis.
Three cities were competitors for the

the Tennessee city The claims of Buff
falo were presented by H. l.. Sml TN,

the convention. DR.. Williams, OF
Jacksonville, spoke for Jacksonville.
The final vote showed for Memphis
1920 votes; Jacksonville, 256; Buffalo,
a6. A vote Of thanks was extended for
the kind invitation Of Buffalo. The last
session of the convention was confined
entirely to the vote on the place for
the next convention and was practl-
cally devoid of incident. but the latter
part of the morning session was full OF
excitement. For upward of half an
hour the convention was in an uproar
and in a state of great excitement and
confusion

To Issue Bonds.

Richmond, Va, Special stock
holders of the Southern Railway met
here Friday. Every share of the capi-
tai stock of the company was repre-
sented. The stockholders, by a unani-
nous vote, authorized the execution OF
a fourth supplement to the company's
first consolidation mortgage deed, pro-
viding for the issue of bonds there
under, bearing interest at the rate OF
4 1-2 per cent. per annum. This action
does not involve the issue of any ad-
ditional bonds beyond those previous
ay authorized to be issued under the
company's consolidated mortgage, but
merely provides that the bonds may
be issued hereunder in future at
lower rate Of interest

japan has lately set an admirable e1-

Japan has lately set an admirable ez-
ample to the aristocratic governments
of Europe. A few weeks ago three
members of the nobility were reduced
to the rank of commoners by order of
the Emperor; one of them for disso-
lutte habits, aud two others for "the
disordered condition of their house
hold affairs" " which We presume is a
way for saying they are insolvent.
The number Of those in Great Britain
and other countries who disgrace hon
o.able titles is not small. While the
great majority of the British nobility
are reputable men, there is always a
number of those who are most dis
creditable to their rank. If now the
government could have the right to
degrade them it would be great ad-
vantage to the peerage. In Japan
curious proposition is frequently made
that peerage should only hold for
either two or, at the most, three gen.
erations. That would greatly lessen
the chance of titles being held by dis
solute young men. The new peerage
of Japan dates back only to 1867,
when a company of very young men
placed themselves at the country's
helm, and they have been steering her
craft steadily ever since. The average
age of the Sc men who made the pres
ent era in Japan did not greatly ex-
ceed 80 years.

British Army's Advance.

London. by Cable.-The effective
ness of the British invasion Of the
Transvaal is further emphasized by the
news from Pretoria of the occupation
Of Zeerust and the advance on Lichten-
burg. Apparently the British drag net
will be drawn through the Transvaal,
rs it was in similar manner hauled
through the Free State. The fighting
at the Kip river Sunday, reported from
from Pretoria, was presumably done
by Generals French and Hamilton In
forcing their way round to the north
ward Of johannesburg.

When Emerson said Glitch your

carries off the freeman's furniture to

American freedom. 1t symbolizes
freedom to come and go; freedom to

votes; freedom to change our minds,

Many life, especially among wom-
en-, has been rendered unhappy, if
not miserable, by lack of proper
training for profession or occupa-
tion in youth, thinks the Atlanta
Journal. In very many cases, when
the necessity for action arises, it hap
pens that natural talents, which might
in adult years be exerted for the sup
port of a person, are found to be
practically useless at the critical time
through lack of proper development
and training in youth. However
great the natural talents may be, they
are often impotent and cannot be sue
cessfully exerted in the struggle for a
living without practical education and
special application. In such cases it
oftens happens an attempt to apply
the natural talents in the sphere Of
practical affairs reveals an unfortunate
case of misapplication Of energy.
Failure, bitter disappointment and
blasted hopes are the inevitable re-

BLUE. AND GRAY.
Nc u Ient Dedicated at Ha2arstowns
rlaryland.

Hagerstown, Md, Special.-Another
link in the chain which binds together
the once warning factions of the North
and South, was forged by the dedica-
ton Of a monument erected TO the
memory of the men VINO wore the gray,
a. we'll as those who wore the blue ana
who died in mortal combat on the
bloody field Of Antietam. This event,
which is probably without a parallel
in the history of the world, was graced
by the presence Of the President OF the
United States, accompanied by many
members of his Cabinet; a score or
more of United States Senators, thrice
as many members OF Congress, the
Governor of Maryland and prominent
men from all parts Of the country.
There were also present hundreds or
veterans who fought for the Lost
Cause" and thousands who fought FOR
the side that proved victorious. Side
by side they stood with uncovered
heads throughout the ceremony con-
veying the monument from the State
to the National Government.
The dedicatory ceremonies were
opened by Colonel Benjamin E. Taylor,
who introduced General Henry Kid
Douglas, director of ceremonies.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. b. r.
Clarkson, who was followed by Gov
ernor John Walter Smith, in an ad-
dress of welcome Colonel Taylor as
president of the Antietam Battlefield
Commission of Maryland, then pre-
sented the monument to the National
Government and the Hon. Elihu Root,
Secretary of War, in a brief address,
accepted it on behalf Of the United
States. Then followed short ad-
dresses, mainly Of reminiscent char
acter by Generals John B. Brooke,
James Longstreet, Orlando B. WILCOX,
]. E. Duryear. Senators Foraker, Bur-
rows, Daniel and others who were
prominent on the opposing sides in the
great struggle. These were followed
in turn by Representative George b.
Mcclellan, of New York, and other
members of both Houses Of Congress.
Then the band played Hail to the
Chief" and General Douglas introduced
President Mckinley who delivered the
address of the day, and in the course
of which he said:
I'm this presence and on this mem
orable field am glad to meet the toi-
lowers of Lee and Jackson and Long
street and Johnson with the followers
of Grant and Mcclellan and Sherman
and Sheridan, greeting each other not
with arms in their hands or malice In
their souls, but with affection, and
respect for each other in their hearts.
(Applause). Standing here to-day, one
reflection only has crowned my mind
the difference between this scene and
that of 3S years ago. Then the men
who wore the blue and the men who
wore the gray greeted each other with
shot and shell and visited death upon
their respective ranks. We meet after
all these intervening years, with but
one sentiment-that Of -oyalty to the
Government Of the United States, love
for our flag and our free institutions
and determined, men Of the North and
men of the South. to make any sacrl-
flee for the honor and perpetulty OF
the American nation" (Applause).
