Atlanta, July 20.-Five thousand
members Of the Grand Army of the Re
public and the United Confederate

manders of these two organizations.
Gen. Albert Z. Shaw and Gen. Joe B..
Gordon, as they sat together upon the
stage of the Grand Opera House at
the kindling OF the campfire of the
blue and gray reunion here last night.
The occasion was the formal beginning
of the reunion Of the surviving veter-
ans Of the Union and the Confederates
who fought in the battles around At
lanta in July, 1864. The auditorium
of the theater was filled with the vet
Grams, who mingled in fraternal peace
and cheered the battle tunes Of Dixie"
and Yankee Doodle" with equal en-
thusiasm.
When Gen. Gordon, who was the
first speaker of the evening. was pre-
sented to the audience by Col. w. A.
Hemphill, master of ceremonies, the
cheering continued for several min
utes. He was frequently interrupted
by vociferous applause and cheers. He

borough Club Confirmation Of Report Of a
Balloon Wrecked in Arctic Regions

London, July 2O.-William Waldorf
Astor has apparently reached the con-
olusion that he made a grave blunder
when he publicly insulted CAPTAIN Sir
Archibald Berkeley Milne. Yesterday
Mr. Astor published in his newspaper,
The Pail Mall Gazette:
'We desire to express regret that n
paragraph which appeared in this col
umn July 2. with regard to the pres
ence Of Sir Berkeley Milne at Mr.. As
tors concert the preceding Thursday
evening, should have been published
under q misapprehension of the exact
circumstances. Explanations of a
complete categorical kind now show
that Sir Berkeley Mines presence was
due to a misunderstanding that entire
ly absolves him from any Intentional
discourtesy."
Mr. Astor's apology was without
doubt forced by the action of the
Prince Of Wales, who. when the matter
was placed before him. unhesitatingly
expressed bis Indignation and declared
that unless an ample apology was
forthcoming Mr.. Astor could not be
permitted to retain membership in the
Marlborough club. Though Mr.. Astor
has narrowly escaped the ignomy Of
public expulsion from the club, it is
widely asserted that his forced repent I
