apart the day for the occasion. They
invited the Veterans of both armies to
conn* and meet together in a grand re
union. Their invitation was met with
a response as wide as the continent.
Over twenty thousand soldiers came
from Chicknmnugn to Atlanta. More
than twenty special trains, in addition
to tho regular number of trains,
passed over the roads the between the
new national park and tho Exposition
City. Every train that came to town
\vns loaded down with people.
In the annals of the exposition the

an event of history. The Confederate

The thunder of a hundred guns just
at sunset Wednesday afternoon was
the signal that the Cotton States and
International exposition was formally
opened. A minute before Grover
Cleveland, president of tho United
States, sitting in his libraty at Gray
GableH, had touohod the oloo-
tric key. The sharp metallic click of
tho instrument being watched by 3,000
ul l be hard to people at Atlanta, Louuded clearly in
response.
The crowd cheered. Tho cannon
thundered. Tho steam hissed and tho
machinery started. The south’s great
est exposition was formally opened.
Twenty-five thousand people saw tho
opening. The largest and longest mil
tary paiado ever seen in tho city
marched from the city to tho grounds
to witness the ceremonies. Over half
tho states in the Union wore repre
sented by distinguiahed representa
tives. Many foreign jSiUUtrioa had
representatives in line,
The opening exercises wore deeply
impressive. From tho/rendoring of
the grand new air, “Salute to Atlanta,”
to the benediction by Bishop Becker,
everything on the program was in
tensely interesting.
It was a soeiio that marked ail era in
tho south’s history. It marked tho
industrial awakening of a great soation
and signalized a new denartdVo in the
relations of thoraces. What yras hap

where tho opening exofrowog wero held,
possessed nothing less than the sign ill -

The first day of the great show was

While Chairman Hemphill stood
preparing to introduce the features of
the programme the mngnifleeut band
of Victor Herbert struck up a medley
of national airs in which “Dixie”
came in for tho lion’s shore of applause,
followed by “Tho Star Spangled Ban
ner,” when tho people yilled, Gover
nor McKinley clapping his bauds vig
orously. When the baud turned into
the well recognized air of “Tramp,
Tramp, the Boys Are Marching,” tho
whole audience seemed swayed as
by an irresistablo impulse, ( hair-
man Hemphill was in excellent voice
and in thorough command of tho
sympathetic audionce. When, in his
feeling way, he referred to this ns a
“re united country,” Governors Mor
ton and McKinley both applauded him
vigorously. “We would die in its de
fense,” he exclaimed, when the whole
audience was wrought up to intensity
of enthusiasm. The prayer delivered

Senator Vest, of Missouri, was in

reported change of views on the silver
question. He said :
“I know absolutely nothing of tho

versation never occurred.

not the men who stoo l in the? trenches
that gave trouble, but tho men who
remained at home and sent substitutes
into the war. “The war is over,” said
he, “but wo have entered upon anoth

progress and tho building up of our
country.”
The speech of Captain W. D. Ell is,
on behalf of the confederate v» torn ns,
exhibited the heart of ono soldier to
another and was chaste in thought,
eloquent in expression and went home
to the heart! of his listeners. He w is
followed by General J. R. L‘ W'S, the
federal veteran who has for twenty-
eight ye ars made Atlanta his home.
After there speeches came a d< mon-

SNOW IN COLORADO
Docs Great, Damage to Fruit Trees
Throughout the State.
A Denver special says: ’Ihe damage
done to the fruit, interests of the state
by tho heavy snowfall of Saturday
night is beyond computation. In tho
vicinity of Denver fruit and shade
trees wore broken by tho heavy snow
freezing to tin limbs yet in full leaf,
and scarcely a tree for miles around*
escaped injury. Reports from tho in
terior show tho same deplorable con
dition varying only in decree. While
fruit growers may ssve most of tho
matured fruit, the more serious injury
is in the broken trees and shattered
trunks.
The snowstorm was goucrul over tho
state, the amount varying from four to
twelve inches. Sunday tho suu shono
clear.
Harry Hayward’s Case.
The final papers in tho appeal of
Harry Hayward, the Minneapolis gam
bler, convicted of securing tho murder
of Catherine Ging,for insurance money,
has been filed in tho supremo court at
Chicago. Tho legal limit expired two
weeks ago, but tho attorney general
allowed twenty days longer. Tho case
cannot come up for some weeks.
An Uunderground City.
The Russians have made a singu
lar discovery in Central Asia, in
Turkestan, on the right bank of the
Amou Daria, is a chain of rocky bills
near the Bokharan town of Karki,
and a number of largo caves which,
upon examination, wore found to
lead to an underground city, built
apparently long before the Christian
era. According to effigies, inscrip
tions and designs upon tho gold and
silver money unearthed from among
the ruins, the existence of tho town
dates back to some two conturios JL
C. The underground Bokharan city
is about two versts long, and is com
posed of an enormous labyrinth of
corridors, streets and squares, sur
rounded by houses and other build
ings two or three stories high, ’i lie
edifices contain all kinds of domestic
utensils, pots, urns, vases, and so
forth. In some of tho streets falls
of earth and rock have obstructed
tho passages, but, generally, tho vis
itor can walk about freely without so
much us lowering his head .
The high degree of civilization at
tained by the inhabitants of the city
is shown by the fact that they built
in several stories, by tho symmetry
of tho streets and squares, and by
the beauty of the baked clay and
metal utensils, and of the ornaments
and coins which have been found. It
is supposed that Jong centuries ago
this city, so carefully concealed in
the bowels of the earth, provided an
entire population with a refuge from
the incursions of nomadic savages
and robbers.
“Wo arc all thanking God tL•*I the
life of Governor Atkinson la- Lein
spared and ho is present wit h us t >i’nv,
hut his friends will not allow him t<»
speak, ns the physical exertion might
be too groat.”
At the conclusion of tho words of
tho speaker Governor Atkinson nroso
from his Boat, ou the platform and w im
given an ovation.
The speech of Mr. Brown was well
received and listened to attentively.
Mayor King responded in behalf of
the city of Atlantn, and extended wel
come to tho visitors, lie said that.
Atlanta was tho progn snivo cilv of the
south, and in her tall factory obi in
neys, standing monuments to her ma
terial prosperity, her spacious and nu
merous school buildings, filled nnnunlly
with children seeking wisdom, her
elegant and costly ofilco buildings,
where fortunes were made in a day,
Buflloient proof was to be found to
substantiate his assertion. He wanted
all who came within her gates to feel
.that they were her bidden guests en
joying the love and confidence of the
community.
Tho oration of the day was delivered
by Hon, Emory Spoor. With eloqu< nt
words tho orator told of the rich de
velopments of tho southland and how
fronv chaos and ruin substantial cities
had been builded. In speaking of Ihe
progress of Atlanta Mr. Speer inid hi'
believed the Good Master was probably
thinking of a city built on tho lines on
which Atlanta has been made when He
said that a city set upon a hill could
not be hidden and that, our light would
shine for all. From Marlluisvillo we
had grown until now tho little village
was lmt a recollection and its past but
a dream.
Benediction was then pronounced by
Bishop Becker.
The Hutton Pressed.
The telegraph operator wired that
the exercises were over and the press
ing of tho button was all that was nec
essary to complete tho order of the
day. The little instrument clicked,
there was a pause and then the eur-
