VETERANS’ REUNION
A MIGHTY HOST GATHERED AT
BIRMINGHAM.
Fourth Annual Reunion of the, ('nil
federate Veterans.
The fourth annual reunion of con¬
federate veterans was formally opened
at Birmingham, Wednesday morning,
by General Fred 8. Ferguson, of the
First Alabama brigade in Winnie
Davis wigwam, at 9 o’clock. There
were fully 10,000 persons in the
building and many could not gain ac¬
cess to the immense hall.
The stage was thronged with gener¬
als and colonels, most of whom wore
gray uniforms. The opening prayer
was made by Dr. J. William Jones,
vice-chapluin general. The audience
stood, and at the conclusion of the
eloquent invocation, the old soldiers
responded with cheers and ameus.
Major-General Ferguson, of Ala¬
bama, called the convention to order
and introduced Governor Jones, who
made a brief hut eloquent welcoming
address in behalf of the state and was
followed by Hon. David J. Fox,mayor,
on behalf of Birmingham.
GORDON AND PANDEMONIUM.
Then came Gordon and pandemoni¬
um. Before Ferguson’s introduction,
there were wild yells of “Gordon!”
“Dixie I” and simultaneously, as the
Georgia sohlier-senator faced the vast
throng, handkerchiefs and hats waved
in the nir, the band played “Dixie”
and it was many minutes before the
yelling ceased. As it did, (lie dele¬
gates from the Lee camp, of Virginia,
marched in, headed by a drum corps
of hoys and enthusiastic cheering
broke out afresh. At the conclusion
of General Gordon's address he was
loudly cheered. The band played
“The Bonnie Blue Flag,” and the vet¬
erans went wild with enthusiasm. On
behalf of the Texans, General Watts
presented Gordon with a beautiful
gavel, which was accepted in an appro¬
priate reply. The business of the
convention was then begun, and the
enrollment of delegates taken up.
There were over 5(10 camps repre¬
sented at roll call. A subscription to¬
ward tlio Chicago confederate monu¬
ment was then taken up and $1,500
was handed in in n very few minutes,
ltoutine business then followed.
'J’iio local military gave an exhibi¬
tion battalion drill in the afternoon,
witnessed by thousands.
At night a tableau of the states, in
which the prettiest young married wo¬
men from each southern state particL
pa ted was represented at the wigwam.
RESOLUTION OF THANKS.
The following resolution was unani¬
mously adopted at Wednesday’s sen
sion. “Resolved, That the thanks of
the confederate veterans are hereby
tendered to the congress of the United
States for establishing the Chicka
mauga and Chattanooga national mili¬
tary park, where the history of the
heroic fighting on both sides iH being
impartially preserved, and that the
governors and legislatures of the south¬
ern states, aftd especially our sena¬
tors and representatives in congress,
are requested to actively co-operate
with the secretary of war and the na¬
tional commission, acting under him,
in furthering the work of establishing
the national park.”
FOR A SOUTHERN HISTORY.
Tho report of the historic commit¬
tee, of which General Stephen D. Leo,
of Mississippi, is chairman, was read.
The report says that while tho south
has had much to do with making the
history of the nation, it has done little
toward writing it. Tho histories that
have been written by northern histori¬
ans have naturally been biased, It lH
recommended that data Vie gathered
for a correct southern history and tlmt
tho legislatures of the southern states
and tho authorities of tho schools be
urged to adopt tho book for use in the
schools.
The Second Day.
When tho veterans' convention
opened Thursday morning tho secre¬
tary read in thundering tones a list of
prominent officers, requested to come
up on tho platform. Jefferson Davis
Tho report of tho
monument committee, made by Gene¬
ral Cabell, showed that over twelve
thousand dollars are in the hands of
the treasurer. Tho fund is for the
purpose of erecting a hundred thous¬
and dollar monument and an assess¬
ment of twenty-five cents a year until was
called for from every veteran the
fund is raised.
General Miller, deputy commander
for Alabama of the Grand Army of the
Republic, presented General Gordon
with a handsome cane cut from Bar
low’s Hill, on Gettysburg battlefield.
In an eloquent tribute lie told how
Gordon saved tho life of his general,
Francis Barlow, on that battlefield.
The presentation occasioned another
wild outburst of cheering.
FIGHT ON THE CONSTITUTION.
A warm fight arose over the adop¬
tion of the report on constitution aud
by-laws, made by Geueral Underwood.
The convection divided into factions,
one favoring adoption, the other favor
iug postponement. The report was
adopted. It provides for a revenue of
about four thousand dollars a year.
: The report of the committee on pen
siou for Mrs. Jeffersou Davis,reported
that the legislatures of Georgia, Ala
bama, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Kentucky and Texas, had been asked
to appropriate $500 each for such n
pension, but that not one had done so.
One reason was, that she was uot a
resident of these states, and had bo
cornea resident of N< w Volk.
Atlanta's invitation endorsed.
A hot discussion arose over ft resolu
i tion endorsing Atlanta's invitation to
th(1 Orand Army of the Republic. Dr.
J. William Jones spoke against it. He
**•«! that the Grand Army of the Re¬
public was composed largely of men
"invisible in war and invincible in
peace. ” He protested in furious tones.
F. II. Busbee, of North Carolina,
eloquently sustained the resolution.
He said that Atlanta was a great,
growing and patriotic American city.
Her hospitable invitation should be
re-echoed by every southern soldier
aud every brave soutnernman. Major
E. J. Gordon, of Alabama, a brother
I of General John R. Gordon, spoke The in
j refutation of Dr. Jones’ charge. who
0. A. R. men were the soldiers
fought, fie said that the organization
was made up of brave men and he
urged the endorsement of the Atlanta
invitation. Several others spoke. The
report was adopted by an overwhelm¬
ing majority.

Mr. Mills addressed the senate in sup¬
port of the bill, closing what, is desig¬
nated as “general debate.”
In the senate Wednesday, and after tho

lowers, the tariff bill was, at I p. m.,
laid before the senate, and Mr. Harris
asked unanimous consent to have the

would prove subversive of all domes¬
tic quietude, ic.o Se n the ties that link
them to their kingdom, jjie home

harmonious social order as
the “Wooden Horse” to the house¬
holds of Troy. “Woman’s right
to vote” would involve the
of woman’s privilege of

of mankind. Feminine opinion is
powerful political facter when express¬
ed gently in the sacred precincts

aims and exalted principles and senti¬

of brothers, husbands and sons, but
wrangling and wrestling at “election

whole question of woman’s political
influence into one or mere numerical

Why not, indeed?
When the Royal Baking Powder makes
finer and more wholesome food at a less
cost, which every housekeeper familiar with
it will affirm, why not discard altogether the
old-fashioned methods of soda and sour
milk, or home-made mixture of cream of
tartar and soda, or the cheaper and inferior
baking powders, and use it exclusively?

A Great Railway.
The proposed railway from the Uni¬
ted States through Mexico, Central
America and South America, will per¬
haps be something more than a proba¬
bility. Mr. Shunk, the chief engineer,
in his report to the commission, says
the survey lias been made all the way
to Buenos Ayres and found to he feasi¬
ble. Much of the tropical region in
South America will be traversed at
great altitudes for railway travel, the
survey including sections that rise to
heights of 7,000 to 12,000 feet above
the sea level. The survey makes
the length of the proposed line
4,300 miles from the Mexican start¬
ing place to Buenos Ayres, aud the
cost of the completed road is put at
$50,000 per mile, including some for¬
midable grading and bridging, or about
$200/000,000 in all, for which the funds
arc to be paid proportionately by the
countries interested. The beginning
of the line will be a point in Mexico,
which will make the new line contin
uous with the existing system in that
country and the United States. Thus
the completion of the road will enable
ft passenger to go by rail all the way
from Canada almost to the very bor
ders of the vast- and bare South Amer
lean region ^ 1 known as T) Patagonia.— 1 • Ex. ,1
