WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY rs, 1910

The sceoes 10 the Young Pefpie's
Buiding yesterday afternoon were i'm
pressiys. The number of Confederate
Veterans wsa few compared with the
mapy who st one time gathered on the
24:h day of May to do honor to their
dead comrades and to participate in .
programme which brought to mind the
Issues fJr which many died and many
others suffered so much, The survivors,
whose locks have been whitened oy
the SHOWS OF many wirtrs, are grad
ually becoming as trees scattered here
aud there 10 clearing, hut they con-
tipue TO respond to the assembly call,
regardless OF the wettaer, on each
twenty fourth day Of May, a day which
reproduces in their minds the most
thrilling scenes 10 their lives. 10 the
audience yesterday were many mem
beers Of the younger generation some OF
them grandchildren Of the former
wesrers OF the gray. They OF coarse
were learning at the feet OF their elders.
Bot TO the Older element, contemporaries
of the veterans, every feature OF the
ssryice WAS clothed with interest and
brought t, mind the issues which after
having been diseased for years, cul-
minated ia civil war. The survivors
of the Army of Northern Virginia with
their many cosdju.ors have for years
endesyored to teach the children OF TIT
south, through impartial history, the
principles for which the south con-
tended, principles never relinqaisheo'
th,uzh Ike truth crashed to the earth.
Old Alexandra has in the years fJl
lowing The close of the war undergone
transitions, generation crowdiug genera
dion from the theatre of life and new
faces are continually appearing in our
mids'. bat the recollections OF the lost
cause and LIE part played by the
gallant ones OF our city with the thou

London, May 26.-Messsy@s received
today by the London headquarters OF
general missionary societies In Ohira
say that auti-toreign deuopt ttations
throughout Ohins are increasing and
that a widespread outbreak before
autumn Is inevitable.
The situation is 30 seriou, that the
heads of the missionary movement are
considering the adv!oability of abandon
ing their remote missions and concer-
tra,ing nea- the coast, where foreign
ships eau protect them. The latest
GU breaks reported are at Oh uan.Ohis,
a short distance northwest OF Chang.
Shs, where there WAS seritus trouble
a month ago, and at Y;-Yang. At the
latter place tie trouble Is more local
than anti foreign and the houses of many
o! the natives have been burned.
Missionaries report that no depend
euce can be placed in the Chinese
troops, as they usually join the rioters
whom they are sent to suppress.
