!OND DU'S WORK CONFEDERATE VETS iy Cities After Meeting of Next Convention. kROOM'S HEALTH IS BETTER. terans Almost Overwhelm Him In n)rder to Shake His Hand When He Entered Hall—Resolutions and Re ports of Committees Read. New Orleans, May 20.—The second d-ay's work of the Confederate reunion was somewhat belated this morning and at the hour set for the commence- ment of the proceedings but few of the delegates and reunion officials were in attendance. The discussion tegarding the city for the next reunion took tangible form today. Louisville, Chattanooga, Savannah and St. Louis were mention ed. A large delegation is working at present and no city has the best of it. Two years ago at Memphis when Louisville was after the convention it seemed to have the best chance but the vote was taken and Dallas won out, so that the situation today is no accurate prediction of the final vote. It was announced this morning by Ad jutant General Mickle that General Goi..on's health was in a large meas ure restored and he will in all proba bility preside over the remaining ses sions of the reunion. General Gordon upon entering the hall was again received with every manifestation of affection and the vet erans promptly charged upon him for the purpose of shaking his hand. But for the efforts of General Lee and General Mickle they would have over whelmed him today as they did yester day. After calling the convention to or der General Gordon announced that the exercises would be opened by Singing one stanza of the hymn "All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” The anthem was rendered with fervor and then the active work of the reunion was commenced by the formation of the committees on credentials and res olutions and by the reports of the standing committees. The committee on memorial resolu tions, of which J. A. Challaron fa chairman, presented a tribute in hon or of General George Moorman, the late adjutant general of the Confeder- ate Veterans. It was read amid deep silence and adopted unanimously. The report of the historical committee was presented by General J. J. Horner, the chairman. It recounted the work done { during the last year with the object of securing an impartial record of the at titude of the south during the war and gave th«* names of several publications which the committee declared had not done full Justice to the south and against which the comioi^fee desired to protest. The report was adopted without dissent. Following the report of the commit tees General Gordon in a neat address Introduced W. P. Lane, of Texas, who, ■'* In behalf of tire the Sons of Veterans presented the greetings of that organ Izution to the Veterans. His speech was received with much applause and It was announced that General Gor don would address the Sons of Vet erans tornono'W. HOSTILES THREATEN TETUAN.

Nashville, Tonn., May 20.—Governor Frazier has issued a warrant on the requisition of Goveinor Nash, cP Ohio, for Mrs. IJzzie McCormick, under ar rest at Memphis on a charge of send ing poisoned whisky to Cincinnati, where an epiess company employe was killed by drinking it. Resistance was offered to the issu ance of the warrant by attorneys for Mrs. McCormick on the ground that having never been in Ohio she had not | fled from that state and is not a fu gitive from justice as charged. Governor Frazier recognized the va lidity of this claim, which is sustain ed in the case of Hyatt versus the State, decided by Justice Peckham in the "'nited States supreme court, where it is held that defendant must really have been in a state at the time of the commission of a crime and not constructively. Governor Frazier made it incumbent on the Ohio officials to prove that Mrs. McCormick was in Ohio at the time of the commission of the crime with which she is charged with being a fu gitive from justice and holds that un less this is proven she nfust be re leased on writ of habeas corpus, which is pending at Memphis. This means that the woman will not be taken back to Ohio. She can be tried in Tennessee for murder un der statutes providing for the punish ment of c»-ime commenced in this state and consummated in another. PYTHIANS MEET IN ATLANTA.

They are especially anxious, it is said, to get letters written by perse cuted Russians to relatives and friends In this country In order that they may send back to the central government utterances which may be used as jus tification for further persecution. Knowledge of this fact, it is said, is what makes the Hebrews on this side so careful not to give verbatim extracts from any foreign letters in relation to the massacres in Kishineff and elsewhere. “We must protect our countrymen and ourselves,” said a prominent Jew ish publisher. "A Russian came to this city a year ago. He said he was a former officer in the Russian army. He wag received into our fam ilies, He ate at our tables and danced with our girls. We found news of a confidential nature was leaking out, so we had a secret warning sent to him. He took the hint and disap peared at once. “The Italians have their Mafia, and Russia has its band of murderer*, who work with as much secrecy and dispatch as the Mafia. In fid days the Russian government does away ■with any one it wishes to. No one who attacks the Russian government is safe." Sln'ce last Friday no money has been sent to Kishineff from this city.

C„ May 20.—Alfred Cun ningham. manager of the Hong Kong Daily Press, a passenger on the Kaga Main, which arrived last night, said in an interview here that Japanese journalists do not regard Russia's ac tion in Manchuria as surprising or un anticipated. Mr. Cunningham says that while at tention is being maintained in the north by Russian aggression, a mat ter of far greater importance to Amer ica. Britain and Japan was overlooked in the south. The report is that of the aggiession of Frauee in the south ern provinces. He was of the opinion that France and Russia were acting in concert, the former in the north and the latter in the south. He says France has bribed the officials of Kvang Si and is waiting the appo - tunlty to pour troops into that prov ince. The south, said Mr. Cunning ham. is now on the verge of a far greater international crisis than that now in the north, although at pres ent the rebellion in Kwang Si is piac- tically brigandage on a large scale. The rebellion in south China, he says, is another factor. Large quan tities of arms are being shipped to the rebels, chiefly from the United States, and headed by the reformers’ movement will break out pro-foreign in its nature, to overthrow the em press Jo wager and reinstate Kwang Su. He said he had on the best in formation that a movement organized on an immediate scale and including many provinces is liable to break out at any moment. Oriental advices per steamer Kaga Maru say that a review of the Jap anese Journals shows a preponderance of expression that Russia will never relinquish the Manchmian territory. The Jiji Shimpo lias a long inter view with the Russian minister at Pe kin from its correspondent there. He says the reason Russia opposes the opening of .Manchuria is that BrifOns. Japanese and Americans, who want to reside the e have political ends to advance unconnected with commerce. He says Russia seeks to prohibit the i employment of foreigners in .Manchu ria in self-defense, because it is in evitable that the safety of Manchuria will be menaced If foreigners go in. Russia, lie pointed out, has spent large sums and sent large forces to devel op Manchuria while Bcitain and Ja pan have not sent a cent there and not sent a soldier and they cannot have any right to interfere with the district. In conclusion the Russian minister said that in Russia the opinions was gaining ground that th# time was ripe for the St. Petersburg government to declare Manchuria a Russian province* Instead of allowing It to remain in an undecided state. Japanese correspondents state that the United States minister at Pekin is Indignant at the offensive attitude adopted by the Russian minister. “OOM PAUL” IN PARIS.
