Now Orleans, Special. The thirteenth annuai reunion of the rniU.il Confederate Veterans was opened in the great auditorium at the fair grounds Tuesday at noon. The weather was perfect ami all the arrangements by the local entertainment committers the most successful. Governor Heard spoke in behalf of the people of the State as follows: "Veterans, the outcome of the struggle that you carried 011 for four long years against the most powerful forces and armaments that the world has yet seen, in no manner or sense can obscure the glory and fame that you won for Dixie's land. With a total vnli.-t mriu iu uvv.uw you conrronum "J.sou.000. Of those in round numbers "<00,000 were of foreign birth and bad Europe been in formal alliauee with the N'o th it could scarcely have been expected to send more than this number of its or ganized soldiery for its quota in such a coalition. Considering the 200.000 negro soldiers, the 500.000 foreign tiddlers and the 2.100.0fln native Americans. it is not extravagant to say that the 000.000 Confederates confronted a coalition of America, Europe and Africa. "TVh i a we consider these indisputable facts we cannot but have cannula* seratien for the person who would seek to detract from the unparali'dled resistance made by the arnlfc.s in gray, by Impugning the motives by which they were impelled to make this truly* legendary defense of their homos an.l constitutional rights as they construed these rights to he." The governor concluded his address tiy repeating the welcome of the people of Louisiana. E. B. Kruttschnitt, of New Orleans, chairman of the local executive committee. in charge of all the arrangements for the reunion then made a most happy address. GEN. GORDON'S SPEECH. As Gen. Gordon rose to reply he was enthusiastically cheered. Gen. John B. Gordon said In part: "To my thought it is most flttlug that this proud and patriotic organization should meet again in this historic city which gave it birth. The meeting of such men as you welcome today, whose past deeds will remain forever an inspiration to American valor and to future sacrifices for constitutional freedom, is an auspicious event in the iiisiury, wnenever and wherever it may orcur; but how peculiarly Inspiring is this reunion in Louisiana, on this 100th anniversary of her birth into governmental alliance with American States. A Itoman ye would have discovered in a meeting of such men, at such time, an omen of good to the cause of liberty; and, American eyes should see in it nothing but good to the whole republic. It must of necessity be beneficent and'only beneficent. We will not Indulge on this centennial ?this political miUonial morning?nor at other tin ?3 in any bitterness. We feel none. "Vr? pity those who do. We have long 4- ' e drawn the curtain of oblivion ovi he regretful arid unseemly things ? f the past; and we cherish as Am*, ricar.s the valor and noble deeds of both armies and of all sections. We are satisfied with our record; and the power that would attempt to make us blush for it would be both stupid and blind. We aro heirs. Joint heirs, with the republic's children in the inheritance of freedom left, by our sires. We are proud of all the past. Moreover, wo are now facing a future pregnant with trpmonUr.no nihilities; but we face it with a strength of hope and assurance, born of an unswerving purpose to discharge <iur every duty to all races, and to the whole country. We are growing obi; Heavy Gold Shipments. New York. Special.?hazard Freres &. Co., have engaged $1,065,000 in gold for shipment to Europe tomorrow Goldman.

Seaie, now In Jackson, Tenn., Colonel Russell saya that Mr. Clarke enjoys the fullest confidence of the men who control the road. Colonel Russell claims as one of the strongest signs the railroad has that the strike is broken Is the rescinding of the order of April 0, as to the acceptance of perishable freight by the Mobile & Ohio. Beginning Sunday, at noon, perishable freight will be accepted at all points. HE VETERANS but wo still stand firmly on the narrow strip of land which separates us from a boundless ocean. "And as v.*e go home, we will calmly drop our mantles on the shoulders of cur sons, who will worthily wear them; and in no c isis of the republic whether in forum or field, will they lie found wanting." Now Orleans, Special.?Wcdnos lay's session of the Confederate v -union closed with a prayer. The fi.st wonls of the petition for divine guidance and blessing weie spoken by the chaplain, while the echoes of "taps." the most :.ul and withal the most beautiful of j ;v\l bugle calls, wore yet quivering in i t 111* rill* I U ic u-m - 1 lw> ????% > nneli'iM i of which had been set apart for services ihonor of the hero dead o? the I Confederate cause, for the glorification of their deeds, for the hallowing of their memories, for the sanctiflcation of the cause for which they lived and died. The tribute was most amply rendered. It was offered in the burning words of the orator and the plaudits of his hearers, as they saw again through him the martial prowess of their brothers, who have joined the eternal muster. It was tendered la the sobs of beautiful women, and in the sclf-eoutained grief of stalwart men. when it was borne home to them <nco more that tho comrades t* *" so deeply loved. the leaders so big honored could be nothing to them a priceless memory. The memorL \ ervjees were opened promptly ad. 12 v. clock by (Sen. I Gordon, who said: "And now, n\v comrades, tho ap| pointed time has come for the services ! in honor of our immortal dead- and j for the opening of these exercises ! behove. wc should give thanks to Almighty God for the lives they lived and :u>k His benediction for them end cs for the time to come. 1 ant going ! to iisk General Young, of Kentucky, | to lead us In prayer." v.iiiiiui mini; neuvereci nil cioi qncut invocation, and was followed liy ' General J.

General Gordon then introduc Kl Rev. J.

It moved his I hearers to frequent applause and scv| eral times brought many of them to tears. "The Vacant Chair," was played softly by the band and then "taps" | v. as blown. A short prayer by Chap ' lain ueneral Jones brought the rac! nrorial exereises to a elose, and an adi journment was tlien taken until Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. Making No Progress. Washington, Special.?No progress Is reported from the United States treaty committee in China and the exact nature of the obstacle to the consummation of the trade treaty is not known. The Chinese commissioners make one statement in the matter. ' The Russian government makes another in conflict and the commissioners do not know which to believe. It is probable that the State Department may feel it necessary to cause the Chinese government to give more definite instructions to its commissioners. Friars Will Withdraw. ! - - ttome, uy Cable.?There has been a ! change in the Philippine Islands in the ! friar situation, as there is now a I movement in the archipelago in favor i of the members of Spanish brotherhoods.

The Vatican has just receiv! ed several petitions from the Filipinos ! asking it to prevent the departure of I the friars. War Telegrapher Dead. i enanestcn. S. C.. Special.?
