ONE YEAR AGO TO THE DAY THE PEOPLE OF THAT CITY GATH BRED TO PAY HOMAGE TO MIR. MCKINLEY.

Jackson, Miss, May Lone year ago today Jackson received President Mel Kinley a visitor and five thousand patriotic citizens of Mississippi came to pay him homage. Today an equal num- Der gathered in this city in honor of the arrival of Admiral Schley and his wife and the welcome they received was one of whole-souled Southern hospitality.
 The city was given over to the dis tinguished visitors from the moment they arrived at 10 o'clock this morning from Memphis until they departed for Meridian tonight and thousands of people from many parts of the state enthusiastically greeted the admiral upon the trains ar rival this morning.
 A parade composed of military, civic and other organizations traversed the principal streets of the city to Smith Park where Governor Longino extended a formal welcome to which Admiral Schley responded briefly and appropriately
 At the conclusion of the speaking the party visited the public schools where 2O00 children greeted them. singing the red, white and blue" and "Schley on the Bridge" As a part of their programme the children replied to questions, giving the record of Admiral Schley in the war with Spain

The statemsnS was voluntary, Nhe said, and caused him to revise his views about Aguinaldo and after he got to know him he attached considerable weight to what he said. Re- spending to a question by Senator Raw lins he said Aguinaldo was at the time of the conversation qualified prisoner" but that there was no coersion or dIuess resorted to to exact the statement.
 The committee in secret session at this point considered the question whether steps should be taken to secure the at- tendance of Major Gardener in advance of the arrival of that officers regiment. It was stated that the regiment would not leave the Philippines until about the first of June and members of the committee were apprehensive that before the major could reach Washington if he accompan- jed his regiment, Congress would ad- journ. The committee decided not to is- sue a peremptory summons for his at tendance at the earliest date. as desired, but to ask the Secretary of War to have Major Gardener come in advance of his regiment if not inconsistent with the good of the service. It is believed by members of the committee that Major Gardener will leave Manila on the next transport.

 MT. Crutcher informed me that more than s2o, ,0OO worth of vegetables were sold to shippers here last year, and he ex-' pects the sales this year to be at least two and a half times as much, or some thing like S50,00O worth. nearly all of which is shipped away by express, some- times entire cars being sent at one ship ment. The people here and at York, and other sections in this part of the state. are attempting to increase their pro- duction to such an extent that next year they will be able to get through vegetable freight trains running on passenger schedules to Cincinnati, thereby saving fully one-half of the charges they are now paying to ship by express.

N@eM timony before the Senate com
 N mittee today General MacAr- thur spoke of the character of papers from high Philipino officers in which in- formation was contained that if Presi- dent Mckinley should be reelected the insurgents would surrender to the au- thorities of the United States Ills proc lamation issued shortly after giving a correct interpretation of the laws of war, he said, had the effect of mitigat- ing the atrocities by the Filipinos who had become so common and of convinc- ing thousands that their loyalty to the United States would be prot ected. Gen eral Macarthur expressed the opinion that the rebellion against Spain did not have independence for its object.
 ''The Filipinos simply wanted the same rights that Spaniards had at home,9 said the witness, but the insurrection against the United States became a de- mand for independence so far as the leaders could give 1t that form"
 Before leaving Manila General MacAr- thur said he had a conversation with Aguinaldo, who told him that he had been misinformed as to the character of the American people and the purposes of
