However, two hours before the time set for calling tho u iing to order the clouds begau to bivakmid by noon, although the weather was>t exactly what might have been clc.-iivd, the sun shone brightly and was a definite promise of fairer United Sons of the Confederate Vet erans, and Mrs. Alexander Humphrey holding a reception to the Colonial Dames. The com maucler-in- chief of the United Sons of Confederate veterans, V 7 . T. Colquitt, and his adjutant, W. T. Quiu- by, both of Atlanta, arrived this morn ing. The opening meeting of the Sons of V eterans was announted for 10 o’clock this morning, but Commander Colquitt’s official order shows that the first session is called for Thursday morning. Com mander Colquitt is not a candidate for re-election. So far as known at the Sons of Veterans’ headquarters Biscoe Hind man is the only announced candidate, but friends of R. E. Lee, a grandson of the confederate general, say he will be a candidate and declare they will make the race a close one. iveatn The hall an hour before the time set for the commencement of tho exercised was crowded to the doors, many hun- div.l ladies being present. As the dis tinguished leaders of the Confederacy came into the hall they were greeted with tumultuous cheers by the crowd that had been iu waiting for their ar rival an hour or more. General Gordon in particular was tho recipient-of a most enthusiastic greet ing. General S. D. Lee also received an ovation, as did General S. B. Buckner, and the various organizations vied in ■ ring each other. The latest comers received the most flattering welcome, nor for the reason that they were tin ire highly thought of than any of those who had preceded them in the hall, but because there were more peo ple to cheer their arrival. The entflusi- asm was of the same quality throughout, the only difference that it increased in volume as the crowd grew in numbers. The decorations of the hall were elab orate and iu the host of taste. The pre- vniling feature was naturally the old colors of the confederacy, the stars and bnrss being hung in profusion on all sides of the interior of the building. Along the north side of the hall were Memphis Wants Next Reunion. Memphis, May 30.—Secretary Henry Hecker of the Cotton Exchange has re ceived a formal invitation from the mayor aud city council of Memphis, the county court through its chairman, the Memphis Commercial association, the Business Men’s club, the Merchants’ Exchange a nd the trades and labor coun cils to the United Confederate veterans to attend their animal reunion and make every effort to secure the meeting ot 1901 for.Mcmpliis.

The portraits were un veiled with appropriate ceremonies. Dead Soldiers Honored. Hung up on the windows back of the roMnim at the east end of the hall were painted the names of the illustrious sol di rs of the south now dead. The name of General Longstreet was inscribed on one of the panes. Around each name was drawn a laurel wreath of crimson. Above the names were inscribed the places of their nativity. Two enormous confederate battle flags weir hung over the stage, the field of white, with the crimson edge. Along tbs - side of the speaker's desk were strung strips of crimson and white hunting; the festoons aud loops of the same color ornamented the front of the stand. On the right and on the left of the stand steed a brass Napoleon, both guns being twined and garlanded with wreaths of ribbon and bright green foliage. Directly under the speaker’s stand stood two crossed rifles, while at either end of thej’stand hung a rifle with the accouterments dangling free. On rim posts around the sides of the building were hung the coats of arms of the states of the Confederacy, each shield being held iu place by knots formed of the stars and bars. Diagonally aernss the roof of the building were stretched long lines bearing a great number of small confederate flags. There was, as usual in such gather ings, considerable difficulty in getting down to the business of the session, and although the hour for opening the con vention was noon, it was somewhat after that tnu» when Major General Pojmtz, commanding the Kentucky division of the confederate veterans, called the as sembly to order. He announced that the exercises would begin with the sing ing of the doxology, and after it luid been sung by the entire assembly he in ti 'Ilueed Rev.

Washington, May 30.—Some of the most prominent Democratic leaders, in cluding members of the national com mittee and men in their confidence, are quietly pulling the wires for the nomi natiou of William R. Hearst of the New York Journal for the vice presidency. The story comes from a man who has himself been spoken of in connection with this nomination, but. who for sev eral reasons would not allow his name to appear in the list of caddidates. “The Democratic managers have been on a quiet search of the east looking for a man who, in return for a vice presi dential nomination, would he willing to make heavy contributions to the cam paign fund,” said he. “Several men have been considered, and for different reasons found ineligible. It has been found that Hearst is more than willing to put up whatever the Democratic man agers may regard as the proper sum, and so if these men who have the man agement of things in hand are able to carry out their present plans they will put Hearst on the ticket.” There seems to be no doubt of a desire on the part of Mr. Hearst on the one hand and these particular Democratic leaders on the other to see Hearst put on the ticket. With regard to the re port that Admiral Dewey would accept the second place on the Democratic ticket, those closest to him say there is nothing in if. It is intimated that Dewey is one of the men wlio was approached by the men who are now talking of Hearst, but that he did not consider the nomination wortfi the price asked. A Word S p . ri r.

HANNA WILL RETIRE. Will Not Serve Another Term as Na tional Chairman. Washington, May 30.—Senator Han na does not intend to-serve as chairman of the Republican national committee during another presidential campaign. Senator Hanna thinks that one term as chairman of the national committee is about as much as an’’ordinary man cares to endure. Senator Hanna says it is his present intention as soon as the Philadelphia convention adjourns to pack up his traps aud go off to some quiet retreat, where he may he free from the cares and anxieties of political and business excitement. He continues to suffer from rheumatism and other ailments, whica his physician insists can only be relieved by absolute mental as well as physical turn. ;Y11 °f the welcoming speeches, which Pie brief, were-most happily received.

He is deeply interested in the re sult of the coming election, and he does not hesitate to say so, but he is confi dent that the campaign will he properly managed by the gentleman who will be selected to sncceed him as chairman of the national committee. He was not prepared to give the name of his successor, as he discreetly re marked that the privilege of naming the chairman of the committee belongs to the majority of the members of the na tional committee to he chosen at the coming convention at Philadelphia. NEW TRIAL WAS REFUSED. Case of Manning aud Duncan Appealed to Supreme Court. Birmingham, Ala., May 30.—In the criminal court attorneys for John Man ning aud Frank Duncan, alleged safe crackers, under conviction for the mur der of Police Officer J. W. Adams, who, with Officer Kirkley, was shot aud killed on the night of March 27, follow ing the robbery of the Standard Oil company’s safe, entered a motion for a new trial, which was overruled by Judge Greene. Manning was then sentenced to hang July 6 and Duncan was given a life sentence to the penitentiary. Dun can, who was sentenced first, again as serted that he was not present at the time of the shooting of the officers. When Manning was called upon-to stand up he faced the judge boldly, de claring again the truth of the statement he made during the trial that it was not he but “New “York Harry” who fired the fatal shots. After passing sentence it was sus pended in order that the cases may be taken to the supreme court, as will be- done. THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA Roberts Is Nearing Johannesburg. Battle at Klip River. London, May 23.—The tenor of Lord Roberts’ dispatches and news from Pre toria leads the authorities here to expect further news from the British com mander-in-chief, who will soon reach Johannesburg. The remarkable rapidity of Lord Rob erts’ movement has upset all calculations of the home observers as much as they appear to have disconcerted and de moralized Lord Roberts’ opponents. Possibly, even now, be is at the gates of Johannesburg, and It is believed ten days hence or less he ought to be de manded admittance to the Transvaal capital itself. If the rebels ever really' intended to “stagger humanity” by blowing up the gold reef city and mines, which is doubtful, Lord Roberts may yet be too quick for them and arrive be fore they have time to do any wrecking. The majority of the burghers will un doubtedly he glad of such an excuse for saving the mines, and they may find the excuse in Lord Roberts’ skill in hustling Rundlc Occupies Senekal. Senekal, May 28.—General Rnudle, with artillery, the yeomanry and the Wiltshires, Middlesex and Liecester reg iments, under Major Dalbiac, has occu pied Senekal, whence the Boers were driven by a few shells.

Observations at All Points Were Most Satisfactory. Washington, Ga., May 28.—The suc cess attending the eclipse here was highly gratifying. The first contact was seven hours, two seconds, fifteen and eight-tenths seconds, local mean time; second contact eight hours, nine min ntes, fifty-two and five-tenths seconds. The magnetometer showed no disturb ance in magnetic declination. Seven sketches were made of the corona and six photograph takeii. Professor W. H. Pickering, at the head of Yale’s expedition, furnished the following statement: “The weather here was perfect and the observations were entirely satis factory. We secured 36 plates with intra-mercurial apparatus and 34 with 13 other cameras, aided by 19 assistants. The plates will be developed in Cam bridge observatory. Visually, with 5-inch telescope, the corona resembled that of the 1889 eclipse. Two large solar protuberances were noted. Our polar filaments, 6 seconds in diameter, traced the corona about 1 degree. The shadow of the moon on the sky and shadow hands were well seen. Venus and Mer cury were conspicuous. The inner co rona was visible iu the telescope several seconds after totality was over. There was no dark baud around the moon’s limb during the partial phase and no detail on the moon during totality.” Recruits and Supplies For Boers. Lonodn, May 23.—Advices received here assert that supplies continue to go to the Boers from Lorenzo Marquez and that foreign recruits for the Boer army proceed front the same jioint. Peace Will Only Follow Surrender. London, May 26.—The outlook for peace, how soon will it come and the steps by which it will he procured are the foremost topics of the hour here. The air is full of rumors about messages from President Kruger, the Boer dele gates and other formal steps looking to a cessation of hostilities, hut these, so far, have proved to be without any foundation. According to the opinion of one of the highest officials of the foreign office there is a popular misconception regard ing the importance of these imaginary appeals.

The fighting at Klip river, reported from Pretoria, was probably done by Gen erals French and Hamilton in forcing their way round to the northward of Jo hannesburg. British Nearing Johannesburg. Klip River, Transvaal, May 29.—The Boers, after preparing a good position, have fled. The train bearing their latest detachment was nearly captured by Pilkington’s West Australians. Prison ers taken state that there was no inten tion of blowing up the mines, declaring that tho threat was made simply with the intention of frightening away the burghers.

Lie Witt’s Little Larly Risers, The famous little pills. I “Peace,” ho declared, “can only be ! accomplished after the Transvaal has j undergone the same process as the Free i State. The cases are, or will be, in a j few days, aualagous. The most forci- | ble illustration of my meaning can be i gathered from supposing President | Sreyn sued or bad sued for peace. What j difference could such action make? Neither Kruger’s word nor Steyn’sword are any guarantee that their people will submit. Kruger might surrender. Pre toria might be in our hands,' yet in other parts of the Transvaal we might have a recurrence of such a thing as the siege of Wepener, or widespread upris ings, which would necessitate the place- ing of troops there. The war cannot terminate until a disarmament is com pletely effected among all the Boer forces. When the Boers want peace they must tell Lord Roberts and take him in their arms. This may, perhaps, occur at the instigation of President Kruger; but the only importance we could now attach to any of his appeals or utterances is the extent with which they will be observed among his own people. My personal opinion is that it will he found that the extent is small, though this fact should not delay peace, or more properly, pacification. “Lord Roberts should he able to sub due the Transvaal almost as easily as he did the Free State. If, as I hear is likely, bodies of Boers will take to the bills, a lot of them will he kept there till they are tired. With the hulk of the population disarmed these guerrilla hands are not likely to be serious fac tors. “I fail to see how matters will be al tered even if a foreign power, say the United States, consented to trantmit the unconditional surrender of our foes. I cannot see that it would be worth the paper it is written on, though the action we would take is too hypotliecal for me to forecast.” Young Girls Arrested. Weather Was Perfect. Wadesboro, N. C., May 28.—The eclipse was viewed here without a cloud to mar the spectacle. Observations were made by scientists from the Smithsonian institution at Washington, the English Astronomical society of London, the Yerkes observatory, Princeton univer sity, Charleston Military college and representative from the Toronto Astron omical society. Many photographs were taken by all the parties at intervals, and especially of the corona. Several tele scopes were used in trying to discover more satellites between the sun and the planet mercury. Eclipse at Atlanta. Atlanta, May 28.—At this place, 40 miles from the belt of totality, the eclipse of the s!in was very noticeable. At 7:40 -o’clock, the'moment of greatest totality, the usual brilliance of the sun took on a very yellow cast and shadows were dim and thin.
