 While the Knights Templar had ffe Admiral as their honored guest at the Duncan Hotel. Mrs. Schley was introduce ed at the Maxwell House by the ladies of the patriotic societies of the city, the latter being a social function of especial note and largely attended.
 At the capitol this morning, where welcome was formally extended by State and city. the crush was as great as that at the station last night, thousands being unable to gain entrance to the hall ot the House of Representatives where the speeches were deliverd. Upon arriving at the State house the party passed under the swords of the Knights TempIar escort two companies of uniformed Con- federate veterans and the 5th Regiment, N. G. s. T., keeping back the crowds on either side, and proceeded to the Gov ernors office. There Governor and Mrs. McMilliE, tine Governors staff, eX-GoE- ernor Buchanan and others extended greetings. Meantime the Representative hall was packed and as the visitors en- tered, the band from the State industrial school struck up d lively air United States Circuit Judge H. II. Lurton acted as master of ceremonies and after the demonstration over the appearance of the Admiral had somewhat subsided, in- troduced Governor McMillin. who spoke the States welcome. Following the Governor were d number of other speakers, Admiral Schley coming last. The Admiral said:

 "I have no other hope but to live al- ways in your love and esteem and fill no place in which that might be placed in jeopardy"

As he warmed to hls subject Mrs. Schley who sat on the plat form just in the rear became perceptibly nervous and at length addressed him in an audible tone. Turning to her for a moment the admiral again faced the aud fence and. with a twinkle in his eye, said: "The woman behind the man be- hind the gun says cease talking and I shall have to bid you good bye"
