slew our meo." Here tbe speaker was interrupted by cbeeis and applause from some of the members, and cries of "Amon." Continuing Mr. Martin said that the south has no desire tocommit the care of its graves to strangers. Could the voices of the dead be heard they would prefer to lie in an unmarked grave rather thau the most costlv mausoleum, if we had to ask for it. Proceeding, he began a discussion of the right of self government and started to quote President McKinley when he was called to order with cries of 4,noo politics." CONFUSION WAS TERRIFIC. The confusion was terrific, and his remarks were unintelligible at times. F. II. Busbee of North Carolina, defended the committee's report, saying that the United States was now our government. They could not alFord to be discourteous and unappreeiative. He mentioned graves of the Confederates at Elmira, N. Y., and other points in the north. Where were the southern women to take care of those graves there? What had his comrade, who proceeded him, done tocare for these graves. The United States care of these graves was something, as a people of a common country, they were entitled to. Though he was an ex-Confederate, lie was citizen of the United States, and lie was loyal to her flag. Gen. S. I). Lee spoke vigorously and plainly. lie thought the resolutions had been misunderstood and said '-it simply commanded the sentiment expressed by the president and did not go one inch further. When the pres ident comes forward and says what he does, it, taking hundreds of thousands o! dollars to care for the graves, I commend the -sentiment/' lie wanted the resolution recommitted; there was noth J ing in the matter that required a I riubstitu te. RESOLUTION CARRIRI) WITH A RUSH. J Several other speeches were made amid a general tumult and calls for a vote, which was linally had. There was a storm of ayes | and hut a few navs, and the reso- > lution was declared adopted. . Among other resolutions re- i ported and adopted was one nrg-i ing the association to assist in i marking the battlefields of the Civil war with monuments to Confederate dead ; another appointing a committee of three to consider the Oil est ion of uniform. I ity of pension legislation by the I southern states; and a resolution recognizing the Confederate veterans association of the District of Columbia and according it all | due rights and privileges. An ^ adverse report was made upon the proposition to change the name of the organization to the ' Confederate Survivors association j the object being to use the initials C. S. A, An unfavorable report was also made upon a resolution looking to a change in the j nomenclature of the association, I in order to prevent the creation of too many generals and other ' high titles carried various offices. A resolution of thanks for the j presence of the cruiser Raleigh I was adopted ; another looking to the selection of a suitable gray cloth for uniforms. Thanking those citizens of Columbus, O., who haved cared for the graves of Confederate dead there . and extenaingcorrlial thanks to Lieut. Col. Henderson, of the British | stafF college, for his contributions to the history of the Confederacy in his "Life of Stonewall darkeon.", ALL OFFICERS REELECTED. (Jen. Gordon of Tennessee | moved that the convention go in* to election of its commanders. He nominated the following for reelection : f Commander-in-chief, J. B. Gordon. Commander department of ( Army of Northern Virginia, Wade Hampton. Commander department of Tennessee, Stephen D. Lee. Commander department of the T trans-Mississippi, W. L. Cabell. The rules were suspended and Gen. Gordon of Tennessee, conducted the elections, each of the nominees being unanimeusly elected. At this juncture Gen. Clement 11 A. Evans presented the report of M trustees on the "Battle abhev." C It dealt fully with the progress b of the work, bearing the usual re- ti port, in which it appears that sat- d isfactory arrangements are being 8 made for the location of the building. Only $4G,000 of the $200,000 is still lacking to be ^ raised during the coming year. Gen. John O. Underwood was c presented as the man who had r done so much in Chicago for the ' care of Confederato graves and b for the "Battle abbey." Gen. t Underwood presented to the con- a vention six portraits of Confederate generals mentioning his object in aiding the "Battle ab- . bey." A resolution of thanks to the city of Charleston was passed and * ar 2:15 Uie convention adjourned ^ sine die. r Tonight at the auditorium a t reception to the veterans was 1 held, the feature of which was an t address by Col. II. L Turner of a Chicago. Col. Turner has been a ^ guest of the city of Charleston , during the reunion, and his ad- _ t dress was an eloquent question to the reunited country. He was frequently aoplauded, and the sentiments he uttered evoked much enthusiasm. Captain Coghlan of the Raleigh was among the distinguished guests who oc- 1 oupied seats on the stage, and, on ' being introduced, made a grate- 1 fill little address. He sketched 1 the battle of Manila bay and paid ( a glowing tribute to Dewey, say- * ing that where ho led, men must follow. ] J. I). Bridge, editor and proprietor ' of The Democrat, Lancaster, X.
