Richmond, Va., Juna 4.—The annual
reunion of Confederate veterans, which
cams to a close with the unveiling of
the'monument to the mempry of Jef
ferson Davis here yesterday afternoon,
was In many respects the greatest In
the history of the organization. It was
In the old capital of the short-lived
republic, whose stormy history it would
take volumes to cotaln, that remnant
of the great army of the Confederacy
gathered at the unveiling of a monu
ment to their beloved leader, whose
spirit had Joined the Innumerable com
pany beyond.
8econd only to the tribute given to
the memory of Dixie land's great chief
tain were those offered on every hand
to the womep of the South, whose gift
the monument Is. The ceremony was
one of the South. The veterans who
fought for the "Lost Cause” were gath
ered together to pay their tribute to
the man whose memory Is revered
above all others.
That the multitude had gathered for
one purpose wai shown by the attitude
of the people toward William Jennings
Bryan, who was the gnest of the re
union. He was given a remarkable
ovation as he drove through the streets
In the line of march, and cheered as he
mounted the stand before the program
was begun.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
there were calls for him. but these were
drowned In a chorus of “No, no. no!”
General Stephen D. Lee announced In
ringing tones: "There will be no poli
tics here." Mr. and Mrs. Bryan had
occupied a position In the rear of the
speaker’s stand, nut of sight of the
people.' As eoon as his name was called
Mr. Bryan made a movement as though
to withdraw from the stand. He real
ized that If he appeared before the
people a political motive would be at
tributed to him by many.
Descendants Presented.
One of the most touching Incidents of
the day was the presentation of the

descendants of Mr. Davis to the great
throng. Thla occurred at the conclu
sion of the program. Mrs. J. Davis
Hayes, of Colorado Springs, Colo., was
introduced as tha daughter of Presi
dent Davis, and then followed Miss
Alice Hayes and Jefferson Hayes Davis,
whose name was transposed by an act
of the legislature to perpetuate the
name of the Confederate chieftain;
William Davla Hayes and Mrs. Webb,
all children of Mr. and Mrs. Hayes.
Last of all, Davis Hayes Webb, the
great-grandson of Mr. Davis, was In
troduced. The great crowd cheered
each one enthusiastically.
With the close of the program came
the end of the reunion, and the assem
bled veterans and visitors began leav
ing on every train for their homes.
Many had left before the unveiling be
cause of the damp weather. Hundreds
of veterans and visitors had come to
Richmond Monday to attend the un
veiling exercises, and the great parade
which attracted the largest crowd of
the reunion. Many special trains, load.
e<5 with veterans, left last night for
all parts of the South. Many of the
veterans went to Jamestown to visit
the Exposition before returning to their
homes.

James H. Jones, the body servant of
Jefferson Davis, who was mads an of
fer of (16,000 by General Andrew J.
West, of Atlanta; Captain McMahan,
of Athens, Oa., and Commander Calla
han, of Washington, yesterday, to re
veal the hiding place of tha great seal
of the Confederacy, still holds out that
the secret will be burled with him.
“Do you believe you could recover
the seal 7” he was asked.
"I feel entirely satisfied I could, but I
never will. I never did deceive Mr.
Davis and now that he Is dead I am
sure I shall remain true to the confi
dence he always placed In me, almoat
from the day I entered his employ."
The seal which Jor.es describes as tho
one he pieced In the Jnines river tables
almoat exactly with the one sent from
Englsnd by James M. Mason, of Vir
ginia, who was the Confederate com
missioner to that country. England
was the staunch friend of the South
land ae every student of history knows,
and it Is suggested as posslblt that the
seal sent from there was to bs used It
certain things developed.
On February 22, 1862, the Confederate
congress adopted *a design for the seal
and a joint resolution for Its establish,
ment was passed. Thomas J. Homilies,
of Louisiana, made the design, and It
was pronounced perfect. It wns for
warded to Commissioner Mason at
London, and he secured tile services of
the chief engraver of her majesty’s
seals. Joseph S. Wyon, to make the
seal for the Confederate States. On
July 6, 1844, Commissioner Mason wrote
to Judah P. Benjamin, 'secretary of
slate, announcing its shipment In care
of Lieutenant Chapman, C. 8. A. It Is
en Interesting fart that the first great
seal of the Confederacy was innds on a
block of boxwood secured from the of
fice of the Montgomery, Ala.. Adver
tiser, and the engraving waa done with
a pocket knife ond a set of surgery
tools by Treasury Clerk DeLeon and
two others.
