OLD ANIMOSITY STILL NOT QUITE
FORGOTTEN.
SOUTHERN VETERANS MEET
At Louisville, and Col. Sheperd OF
Virginia Explodes a Bomb
Promptly Rebuked for His Intem-
perate Speech-G ordon's Eloquent
Plea for Reciprocity.

Louisville, June 1.-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 resolution by w. III.
Burgynon of North Carolina to the
effect that the convention recognized
with appreciation the language of Gen
eral Daniel E. Sickels, the orator at
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. Fl.
Sheperd of Richmond, Va, secured
the floor and said: 81 want no CO.
quoting with the Yankees who defeat
ed us. For Gods sake do not accept
anything from their hands. Don't &C.
cept anything from union soldiers.
Vote it down, comrades, vote it down. y
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 call for his
opinion said: 81 trust the time will
never come, while I 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:
81 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 a 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,-
900 persons entitled to admission, it is
estimated $500 had visited the hall by
midnight.

Difficulty to Get Special Deputies al
st. Louis.

st. Louis, June 1.-The day was un-
eventful in so far as casualties were
concerned. 1t developed, however, that
four persons were shot during the

until late last night Thomas Kehoe

London, June 6.-Lord Roberts wires
that the city of Pretoria was formally
surrendered yesterday and that entry
was made at o'clock.
Irish Battalion Taken.
London, June 6.-Roberts reports to
the war office that the thirteenth bat
talon of imperial yeomanry Qrish)
was overwhelmed by the beers at
LindIey." Methuen made ''magnifi-
cent march to the rescue" but was too
late. The dispatch follows:
81 regret to report that the thir-
teenth imperial yeomanry had to sur
render to very superior force of the
enemy, May 81, near Lindley. On re-
ceiving information of the bat
TALON being attacked,
ordered Methuen to proceed
with all speed to its assistance.
Methuen was then on the march, on
the Hebron side of Kroonstad: and
half an hour after he started off, BY
10 a. m. the following day he marched
A miles in Is hours, but was too late
to rescue Colonel Spragges yeomanry.
Methuen attacked the beers, who were
btween 1000 and 5000 strong, and af-
ter a running fight of five hours COM
pletely routed the enemy"
Queen Drinks to Roberts.
London, June 6.-Quen Victoria, sur
rounded by the duke and duchess Of
York, Princess Christian, Princess
Victoria and many other notables of
her court, drank to the health of Rob-
erts and his army at Balmoral last
evening. A great bonfire, lighted at
her majesty's command, blazed on
Craiggown mountain, Illuminating the
ton joins in the toast, clarifying Rob-
erts and turbulently rejoicing in his
victory. Roberts dispatch announcing
the loss of the yeomanry battalion
came too late for the public to know it
last evening Newspapers and COM
mentators consider the incident de-
plorable but as having no weight to
speak of in the results. The battalion
numbered between 400 and $780, Gen.
Botha and most OF his men got away
from Pretoria. This is inferred from
Roberts message, but the presumption
is the boer commandant cannot escape
without fight. Operations elsewhere
seem to have dwindled to nothing.
Baden-Powell joined Hunter at Lich-
tenburg. Butler has not moved. Ben
