A TRIBUTE 70 GEN. j. 3. GORDON.

A TRIBUTE TO GEN. j. q. GORDON.
Veterans of the North will rejoice
| but little less than their brethren of
| the South in the erection of monu-
ment to the late Major General John
B. Gordon which was unveiled in At
lantn Saturday.
For America has had few more gal
liant soldiers or manlier men. He
fought long and we'll for the cause
in which he believed. His devotion to
the Stars and Bars was evidenced
by the burrows of bullets on his face.
and the pens OF all our historians will
have rusted when the story Is no
longer told of his cry, General Lee
to the rear" as he sought to get his
chief out of harms way before q fa-
nous charge.
When the war was ended, General
Gordon strove to serve his people In
Congress with the same fidelity that
he displayed in fighting their battles
on tho field. Georgia sent him to the
Senate twice and then elected him
governor. Although his fame is
found more in military than in con-
gressional deeds, he nevertheless won
the respect and honor of all his col
leagues in washington.
Those of the North who heard him
In his lectnring tours about the
country will never forget the charm
of his presence, the music of his
voice, the Quaintness of his speech
and the kindness that shone from his
face; nc held them spellbound. He
was IN orator of exceptional gifts.
M heart could fail to thrill as the old
soldier who had fought so vallantly
for the South would end touching
tribute to it and his love for it by
saying, "But I have lived to be glad
that the issue of the war was as 1t
was, and am proud to say today,
My flag, and my country"
The South truly lost one Of It's best
mon when he was called to a greater
field of glory than he had known on
earth, and many n Northern heart
was saddened by the loss of one who
had forgotten all dividing lines and
who expressed his belief that 1t was
his mission to travel about the coun-
try to reconcile its once hostile sec
lions.
No American more deserves fit
ting memorial than John b. Gordon.

THE SECOND CONFERENCE AT
THE HAGUE,

1t Is now little over eight years
since the first Peace Conference l,o.

I We're one hundred delegates present,
representing twenty.six countries
when the conference was opened on
May IS, 1893, The meetings of the
conference were held In the Orange
Zaal or ballroom. OF the famous
House in the Wood" or summer
palace OF the Dutch royal family,
which Is situated about mile from
the city. The delegates with the sec.
retaries and attaches occupied prao.
tienlly all the available space, and
'Sir. Hollis, in his account OF the con.
Terence, records the fact that there
was no room either for spectators or
for journalists except only narrow
gallery In the cupola. to which n very
few invited guests were admitted on
the opening and closing days of the
conference.
This lack Of space In the House In
the Wood has led to n change in the
arrangements for the reception or tho
delegates to the second conference,
which VIII be opened on June 10,
two weeks from today. Twenty coun.
tries not represented at the first
conference are expected to send del.
egates to tho second one, and the

decided to offer as the place of meet.
