The day was sultry, few delegates
wore coats and many sought cooler
places outside the hall, this last fact
making possible the casting of tho
votes of several delegations by unau-
thorized persons during the last few
ballots.
During the first hour and a half of
the session tho question of an on

sion, an attempt by w. l.. Finley to
amend the platform and give such an
endorsement being defeated on a roll

that I'm having approved unqualified

MEXICO CELEBRATES
ANNIVERSARY OF BATTLE.

Mexico City, May Sin accordance
with long established custom the
forty fourth anniversary of the vic
tory of the Mexican troops over the
army Of Napoleon III, won efore the
walls of Puebla, May 5, 1862, was to-
day celebrated in a martial manner.
At, daybreak the tri-color was
hoisted on all publ buildings and the
battery at the Ciudadela fired a salvo
of twenty-one guns. At 8 o'clock a
procession, headed by President Diaz,
the vice president, the members of
the cabinet, and many high military
and civil officials, proceeded to the
San Fernand ocemetery, where the
wreaths were deposited on the tomb
of General Ignacio Zaragoza, the hero
of the battle. After that ceremony
the procession marched to Chapulte-
pee, where the Greek hemicycle, at
the base of the historic hill, civic
ceremony was held in honor of the
soldiers who fell during the battle.
The chief features of the program
were the reading of Zaragosa's mes
sage, announcing the winning of the
battle, and a reception of surviving
veterans by President Diaz, who him
self played a prominent part in the
famous struggle.
Later, the president and his dis
tinguished party drove to the National
Palace, from the balcony of which was
witnessed the military parade, in
which all the troops of the garrison
participated To night the city will
be brilliantly illuminated,

near Glover Creek Junction last night.
Six killed outright and four died from

jefferson, Ga, May 5.--This city is
dressed in holiday attire in honor of
the one hundredth anniversary of its
foundation. Hundreds of visitors from
the surrounding districts are here to
assist in the celebration of the ami

and was instructed to keep a constant
watch on the prisoners doings

however, a careful investigation has
brought to light an the facts in the

Centennial OF A MILITIA
COMPANY is OBSERVED
Third Oldest Organization Of Its Kind in
America Magnificent Arrangements
Made For the Occasion.

The large drill hall has been beau-
tifully decorated for the occasion, and
will present a brilliant scene this
evening. Coonel Daniel Appleton, the
present commanding officer, of the
regiment, who will be the host of the
evening, and will preside, has served
sixteen years with the regiment, rising
from the ranks, through the grades of
corporal and sergeant. He was COM.
missioned a second lieutenant in 1876,
captain in 1879, and q colonel in
1889.
The four original companies of the
Seventh Regiment were mustered in
May 6, 1906. The celebration was
set for today, however, as tomorrow
will be Sunday. The first four COM
panies were recruited at time Of
great national peril. British men of
war were frnS upon and enforcing
the right to search American vessels
and as the federal government re-
sented such action, a bombardment
of the city and a general attack by
the British was feared
The four ru'paries were attached
to the Third and to the Eleventh regi-
ments in turn and formed a battalion
in 1924, when the Marquis de Lafay-
cite visited the United States. He
made the suggestion. which was adop-
ted, that the various militia organ
iZations be consolidated in a national
guard and constituted as was the clti-
zen soldiery of France. The four COM
panies were n part of the Twenty
seventh regiment, which In 1S47 took
the name of Seventh. The title Major
Bitcher's Battalion" was also applied
TO the organization.
Since It's final reorganization. the
Seventh has been especially Conspic-
uous. It's services have been rendered
to nation, state and city on many oc-
casions. The regiment was on duty
as Tart of the army for the defense
of New York in 1907 and 1908. When
the War of 1872 was in progress, it
was on garrison duty many months on
Governors and BedlOe's islands. 1t
volunteered its services i'm the Civil
War and in 1861 marched To Wash
ington, where # served for three
months, In the Spanish-American
War the Seneynth offered itself as a
regiment, and subsequently many of
its members went 10 the front in the
regular army or as officers in other
regiments Of volunteers. Many men
of social prominence have been mem
bers of the Seventh. In the civil War
C1G and its members became officers
and I'm all the regiment has contrib
uted more than 600 officers to tho
regular army.
