PAN AMERICAN CONGRESS.

A pronounced feeling OF friendliness
to Spain is developing among the Cen.
trail and South American delegates to
Pan American Congress.
No end OF talk is heard about q speech
OF General Rafael Reyes, delegate from
Colombia, at banquet given by the
City Council of Mexico. In honor OF the
delegates. General Reyes paid a warm
tribute to Spain, saying In part: Spain
who gave to us her language. her relig-
ion, her blood and her traditions and
who now is tired with her past glories,
will feel that We, her descendants, are
not unRrateful and that on the occasion
of our fret meeting in this hospitsble
land, side by side with the represents l.
tives of the great Northern Republic
and those of Brazil and Haiti, we send
her an enthusiastic greeting, az well as
to Portugal, the colonizer OF Brazil and
discoverer OF the Indies and southern
shores of Africa.
The Pan-American Congress has
caused much discussion in Berlin, the
general tone OF which is belittling and
skeptical OF Its SUCCESS.
Il is interpreted "a being scheme
OF the United States TO increase infuene

tween the United States and the latter
lie regarded as ohimerical, owing to the
racial differences. the only connection
between them being pronounced to be
merely geographical. Therefore"

Dr.Hans Wagner discussed the sub ect

CONFEDERATE HISTORY.

At q meeting OF the Grand Camp
Confederate Veterans in Petersburg on
Saturday Judge George L. Christian,
OF Richmond, made the report OF the
history committee, the reading Of
which was heard with the closest atten.
ton and with much interest.
Early 10 his report be contrasted the
methods OF warfare adopted By General
Mcclellan and General Grant. The
latter suffered great deal as result.
The former has always been recog-
nized at the South % soldier, and O
gentleman as we'll, who did not wage
war upon defencelees women and chill
dreu. OiGeneral Grant this could not BE-
said at all times.
Judge Christian then gave the rules
OF war adopted by the federal govern
nent. Their unreasonabeness, their
hardness and atrocity were unknown
to most present, and their uDjustness
awakened 10 the minds OF all feeling
akin to horror.
Perhaps the most striking section oil
the report had to deal with General
Sherman, That worthy was shown by
the confession of his own lips to be o
vandal and liar.
The fearful destruction OF the proper
ty OF non-combstaDts, the burning Of
houses which were the sole shelter oi
defenceless women formed o conspicu'
Gus part OF the report.
The warfare waged by Lee, Jackson
and Early was contrasted with that Of
Grant and Sherman.
Judge Christians concluding refer
ence to the vindicstion of the South by
the coming historian was model OF
eloquence, and aroused remarkable
demonstration of enthusiasm.
An ovation awaited Judge Christian.
Every man and woman in the audience
rose simultaneously as the judge con-
cluded and oheered again and again.
The band played Dixie" and all Cd
the platform rushed to him, grasping
his hand In copgratulation.
In commenting on the report the
Richmond Dispatch says: Judge
Christians theme is the conduct OF
the civil war by the two parties to the
great conflict, and he has SO treated 1t
az to furnish to the world an invaluable
contribution to the history OF that con.
flict. Setting down nothing in malice,
and naught 10 passion, and deriving bis
facts nearly altogether from federal OF.
fetal reports and the testimony OF dis
interested witnesses, he has presented a
contrast between the methods employ
ed on either side In conducting the
struggle which is an absolute vlndica-
ton OF the South on that issue. Nor Is
this ell. The report Is terrible indict.
mept against the federal government,
drawn by some Of its own high officers.
There Is much 10 the report which,
doubtless, the other side could wish to
see buried in oblivion. But considering
the misrepresentation as to the acts
and the motives OF the South which are
being perpetu ated in war histories writ
ten at the North, Judge Christian and
bis committee are simply performing
duty TO the living and to the memory
OF our dead 10 guarding against that
becoming the csse."

That Baltimoreans are opening their

patriotism is shown by an extract from
a letter written to and read at demo-
cratic meeting on Thursday night from
VIM. Cabell Bruce In which he says:
'In conclusion I will add that it appears to
me that there are peculiar reasons just ct this
time why there should be no break in the
ranks Of the democratic party Ia this or any
other southern State. The national issues
which estranged democrats from each other
have faded away, and the present republican
President of the United States has been long
enough in bis seat to enable us to piece out
from his official conduct, when connected with
his past written and oral utterances and his
close personal aud political friendships, what
his policy toward the South and al that she
holds most dear is likely to be The apples
OF discord, in the shape Of Federal appoint
ments, which he is scattering among the
southern whites for the purpose OF dividing
them the match which he has just struck

racial integrity which they believe 10 be

upon which southern society must either rest
or be abased in the dust"
Mr.. Bruce enjoys splendid reputa-
ton in Baltimore, Is an ex-senator from
one OF the Baltimore districts and was,
we think, leader 10 what was known
as the Sound Money League in 1895.
He does not agree, however, with the
Ayreses and McLsurens, and fears that
the Booker Washington episode, or
what is now termed the "possum dinner
at the White House" is more far reach
ing than many now imagine, all OF
which proves that Mr.. Bruce might be
a kicker for a principle but never 0
deserter from his people or his section.
