Charleston, May 10.?This has been the greatest day in Charles ton since the civil war. 1 he veterans?an<\ there are thousands of them here representing all sections of the south?have been having a coniinuous round of it. The parade this afternoon was a splendid one, witnessed bv everybody here. The opening sesssion of the annual convention of the United Confederate Veterans was held this morning at the auditorium. The session, aside from the cordial welcome, addresses, the excellent music, and (ien. Cordon's eloquent remarks, had two strik ing features. (Jen. Cordon, the courtly, dashing southerner whose reputation for doing graceful things at the opportune moment, hugged the widow of Stonewall Jackson 111 the presence of ?U,0(J0 people, just ps lie kissed the widow of .fellerson Davis in Richmond a few years ago. Then there were the resolutions offered hv Gen. Stephen I). Lee in regard to President McKinley's Atlanta speech. These resolutions were finally sent to the commander, and are not yet acted upon by the convention. The business of the nay was very ngnr, owing largely to the fact that so many events were scheduled for the day, hut there was plently of enthusiasm. AN 1I?EAL l?AY. The opening day of the convention was an ideal one, neither too warm nor too cool, and those at the auditorium hall who had heretofore been attending midsummer conventions appreciated the change. The day, too, was sunshiny and bright, in keeping with the joyful spirits ol the vet-, erans, hightened by the patriotic tunes. The convention was late in assembling, but after awhile (Jen. Gordon arrived, being escorted bv The 1'eterburg, Va , veterans in uniform, headed by a uniformed drum corps. As tlie erect old ?oldier came upon the platform he was recognized, and the band played "Dixie," the veterans cheered and cheered again. Meantime Gen. C. I Walker, commanding the South Carolina division, Speaker Gary, Chaplain Gen. Jones, Lieut. Gov. MeSweeney, Gen. Jackson, Gen. Lee, Dr. S. 1\ II. Elwell and others came upon r## * >* + the stage. Belore the exercises > were over the rostrum was occupied by numerous persons of note. The members ot the Charleston committee were also on the stnad. BUSINESS BEGINS. Gen. Walker .called the convention to order at 10:40 o'clock, lie spoke of'Charleston's invitation to the veterans to meet at the birthplace of secession, and said that the gavel he was using was that with which in 1800 had been used to call to order the secession convention. The chairs used by the oflicers to-day and the table of the presiding officer were the same as used on that memorable occasion. The mention of these sacred relics was received with deafening applause. Dr. J. Win. Jones, the chaplain general, then invoked the Divine blessing upon the convention. He asked it of the "God of our com mon country." He returned ' thank" that they were enabled to come to this historic city. He asked God's blessing upon the commander and the officers. These i references were most feeling. He invoked God's richest blessings upon "our missing comrades" and feelingly and beautifully referred to those who had "crossed the river." He pjayed that all ('on federates may be true to the principles "of constitutional freedom.lor which our fathers fought," and that "these principles might he handed down to our children and our children's children." lie invoked the Divine blessing upon the president of the United States j and all in authority. The following resolutions were I o lie red by (ien. Stephen 1). Lee: THE LEE RESOLUTIONS. Whereas. In Atlanta, Ga., on December 14, 1SDS, the president of the United States of America gave u Iterance to the sentiment that "the time has come when l the United States should share in caring for the graves of the Con leuerate (lead;" and Whereas, This utterance ot tho chief executive of the nation de| mands from us, the survivors of our dead comraders in arms, a I frank and generous response to so lolly and generous a sentiment: t hersfore, be it Resolved by the United Con' federate veterans in convocation 1 assembled that in this act of President McKinley's and in its reception by our brethern of the ! north we recognize authoritative I evidence that we are again a united people, and one in determination to exhibit to the world the gentler as well as the sterner j traits of American character: i and that we accept the statement ! of nil r nliinf ^vaonht'o 1 n *!??

Dr. J. Williams Jones was on I hie feet quu-kly, and moved that these resolutions he referred to the committee on resolutions ! when appointed. Several requests came from 1 various portions of the house to j hear the resolutions read again. . Gen. Lee re read them. l)r. Jones then renewed his motion A delegate said that the 1 resolutions were not of such a i character that tney should be referred to the committee, and thought that to do so would bo a retleehon upon the distinguished man who had offered them.
