 GuIfport. Miss. Nov. 7.A-rhe United Daughters of the Confederacy today decided the question of the possession of crosses of honor by descendants of those 10 whom the crosses were granted. It was ruled that only veterans are entitled to wear them, and that descendants may keep but not wear them. The crosses are to go to the widow first and then to lineal descend ants in order of precedence.
 A letter was read which was written by Mrs. Jefferson Davis to Judge KimbrouEh six years ago. in which she sought to vim dicate herself from the criticism for not having buried Mfr. Davis in Mississippi; aud also why she did not mention Mississippi and Mississippians more in her book and why she made her home in the North.
 The letter to Judge Kimbrough was per- sonai and It's contents were not to be made public until after her death. The convention pledged $500 annually for the erection of a monument to Confederate dead in Shiloh.
