April 25.—The fourtia annual reunion of the United | Confederate Veterans, held to day, has brought togeteher the largest number of ex-Confederates sinee the war. Already 25,000 are here and 10,00 more are on the way. ‘The eity is a sea of bunting ard decorations from end to end. Esery where National flags float side by side. The crowd is almost tco large for the town Men and women blockade the streets. Nearly everyone of the 500 campa in the association here. A big delegation arrived from St. Leuis this morning The convention assembled in Win nie Davis’ wigwam at 10 o'clock this morning. The wigwam has a seat ing capacity of 10,000.

Dr. J. William Jones of Atlanta, the historian, led in a fervent prayer thanking Almighty God that while so many Southern heroes fell in the | war there are thousands yet to cele brate their deeds of valor. Gov. Jones then welcomed the veterans to Alabama in a most elo quent speech In referring to the war he was overcome with emotion and could scarcely talk. Many old soldiers shed tears. Mayor Fox of Birmingham follow ed in an address of welcome on be half of the city. Senator Gordon, Commander in Chief, then took the chair and de livered a glowing speech, picturing the valor of Southern soldiers and lauding the objects of the associa tion. He was cheered for ten minutes The old, familiar rebel yell rang out and was echoed and re-echoed through the spacious balls When the band played “Dixie” a scene of the wildest excitement fol- lowed. The multitude arose to their feet, yelled and cheered and threw up hats for fifteen minutes. It was with the greatest difficulty that the convention was able to pro eced with business. Gen. John C. Underwood of Chi cago, made a speech, appealing for $1,500 to complete the Confederate monument in Chicago. More than $2,000 was raised in ten minutes- Committees were then appointed, and permanent organization effected. The report of the History Com mittee is an important feature of to day’s session. It recites the fact that school histories written by Northern men gre naturally biased in reporting the war and reccom- mends a plan for aSouthern history, | and urges all Southern legislative and school authorities to adopt it Senator Berry of Arkansas, and Gen. C. A. Evans of Georgia, spoke this afternoon. Tonight the historical dramatic presentation will reveal the South ern beauties, whose faces and figures are types of Southern nature’s pleasing handiwork.
