HIS WIFE VISITS HIM IN AUDTTo-

Be- cause of this state of affairs, those interested in the controversy over Zion City place great deal Of significance in the visit of Mrs. Dowie.
 Mrs. Dowie was accompanied to the Annex by her son. Gladstone Dowfe. but the latter did not enter the room occupied by his father. Mrs Dowie re- mained in her husbands apartments for half an hour. after which she wes again joined by her son and they TO- turned to Zion City.
 That Mrs. Dowie's visit to her hus- hand was for the purpose of a death bed reconciliation was denied tonight by those associated with Dowie, who assert that she called on Dowie to arr range for his proposed return to Zion City next Saturday and his reception at Shiloh House. The report that Dowie was in a dying condition was denied by all those still faithful to him in the party at the hotel.
 P. C. wetten. Dowie's legal adviser, declined tonight to disclose the purpose of Mrs. Dowie's visit.
 One thing wish to emphasize" said Wetten. and that is. Dr. Dowie is not as ill as the Lublic f&.s been led to believe. He is in better health to- day than he has been at any time since his return to Chicago two weeks ago. |"
 "Todays interview between my father and mother does not affect the situation at Zion City In the least" said Gladstone Dowie at Zion City to- night. We called simply as members of the Dowie family to satisfy our selves of Mir. Dowie's physical and mental condition and to assure him he would be cared for.

 The reunion, viewed from business standpoint, was very uneventful Tho chief new meas sures of importance to he adopted were one which will rec onnend to the different States that nensions be paid to slaves now living. who followed their masters to the war, and one which declares in favor Of the setting apart of one day in the year bv each camp of the organization for memorial services in behalf of the Confederate dead.

 ply of the Operators.


 Wiikesbarre, Pa, April 26.-The an- thracite miners will hold a convention at Scranton next Thursday in order to take action upon the reply of the operators, if any, to two propositions submitted to President Baer and his associates today. @A
 The decision to call convention of the miners of three districts was reach- ed at meeting of the general an thracite scale committee held here to- day The session was lengthy and while those who participated were re- ticent, 1t Is known that there was wide divergence of opinion as to the form of the provisions to be presented to the operators.

most striking. It is believed that. in- cludinE the veterans and all other or ,zanizations in line, there will be about ten thousand men in the column.
 The afternoon session today was brief. business being pushed through with the utmost despatch. The Com mittee on resolutions presented sup plemental report. declaring in favor or a recommendation to the several south ern States that pensions be paid by each State to slaves who followed their masters to the war.
 Some years ago a resolution was passed at reunion declaring in favor of a provision for the presentation or medals to the man who showed the greatest courage in any battle In which the Confederate troops were engaged The resolution has been neglected here- tofore, but today 1t was resurrected and 1t was decided that 1t should be put into effect at once. It was also pro- vided in the resolution passed this af- ternoon, that if the soldier entitled to the medal is dead, and his heirs cannot be located, the medal shall be presented othe Battle Abbey" to be erected later in Richmond.
 The next bushes was the election of officers for the ensuing year, and all of the present officers were reelected by acclamation.
 General S. D. Lee. the commander-in- chief, General Cabell. the commander of the Trans Mississippi Department. and General Walker. commander of the Department of Northern Virginia made brief speeches of thanks for the honor bestowed upon them.

Mrs. John H. Reagan. wife of the last surviving member of the cabi- net of. President Davis was presented to the convention and heartily cheered.
 Tho convention then formally ad- tourned to meet in Richmond, Va, in 1907.
 The grand ball gwen tonight in hon. or of the veterans of the Confederate armies was a most brilliant affair. The weather was too warm for much danc- ing on the part of any but the younger generation and after the ball had been formally opened. they were left in full possession of the floor. The grand march was led by General s. D. Lee and Mrs. Braxton Bragg and after its con- clusion . quadrilie entitled The South ern Cross was danced by sixteen cou-
 
 as the lancers and the auadrille were placed at the head of the program as special incentive to the old soldiers to venture upon the floor and many of them accepted the opportunity. When these dances had been finished. the more modern waltz and two-step fol- lowed each other in rapid succession.
 The ball was one of the most brill liant public affairs of the kind seen in this city in many years and was att tended by fully 5000 people.
 The following officers were elected today at the convention of the Sons of Veterans:
 Commander in Chief, pr. Thomas M. Owen of Montgomry: Department Com manders Army of Tennessee, R., F.. |. Bynum; Army of Northern Virginia. G. R. wynan of Louisville: Trans Mississippi, J. M Tisdale. of Greenville. Texas. E
