HOUSTON, Tex., May 22.—This city Is in holiday attire, and its streets are filled with old soldlers here to attend the reunion of confederate veterans, General John B. Gor- don, commander-in-chief of the United Co: federate Veterans, is the principal guest honor. He s an ex-lieutenant general the confederate army, United States from Georgia for over half a sco and twice governor of the state, A steady rain began falling at daylight, wiht a cold wind, and poured down steady all morning, disarranging many events in the program. The street parade in honor of Miss Winnie Davis was postponed until tomorrow ot of senator of years morning. It was 11 o'clock when Colonel | W. D. Cleveland opened the first business session of the meeting and introduced Gen- eral Charles Culberson, who in glowing words welcomed the veterans to Texas. The mayor, John T. Brown, followed, extending the hosp! tality of Houston. General John B. Gordon replied to the addresses of welcome on behalf of the United Confederate Veterans. There were 8,000 people In the auditorium and as many outside unable to obtain ad mittance. The jam was terrific. When General Gorden rese to speak, the band struck up “Dixle,” but its strains could not be heard, so great was the din raised b the vocal demonstratio given the ex- chieftain General Gordon, when quiet had been partially restored, delivered his ad- dress: “What higher tribute could be paid to this great people than to say that their hospitality is worthy of Texas?" he asked. “Around the name and history of Texas are gathered associations glorious” and hallowed amd in her future career are centered high hop:s of richest contributions to the pubiic In fifty years of statehood she has risen tc a cormanding position among her sisters and the imagination can scarcely keep pace with her assured progress in the fitty years to come, With a genial climate and im perial domain, with a soil not only exhaust- less in its fertility, but which answers with more lavish abundance as the demands uj it become more exacting, with a his rich in the memoriea of her Alamo, Goliad, her San Jacinto, as well as i deeds of her Houston, her Austin, her 1 and her Lanier, with all these splendid dowments what optimistic dict for her a career so glorious as to be beyond her reasonable ambition? THREE REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENTS “The assemblage of these war-scarred v erans in this war-scarred state leads me rec:ll three rema k- ble :chievements by th ex-confederates in peace which impartial his- tory will pronounce a fitting climax to their did record In war. The first is the re- ruction, mainly through your instrumen- , of the labor system of our entire sec- tion. You returned from a long, exhausting and unsuccessful struggle to find the agricul tural labor of your states not only disorgan ized, but as a system (to the management and coatrol of which you were born and trained) it was utterly destroyed. Yet you ory her the ravis en prophet cou'd pre- heroically undertook the task of its reorgani- zation under a new system and of adapting your service to that new order. The success of your efforts is the noblest commentary upon your wisdom and justice. The second is your astounding success in securing in spite of the radical revolution in the tion around you, and in o short a periol, financial indeendence for your families and Industrial prosperity for your section. You returned from the war poor, tens of thousands of you penniless, many shot and maime: and yet bravely and une melainingly, by laboring with from no source save from God and your ellant manhood, you have fought to competence, provided for you dizabled comrades, un searcely a confeder. ate soldier can be found deprived of the com- forts of life. At the same time your com bined efforts have carried these southern states to a height of materl advancement from which you may now mly look back over a land which but thirty years & was a wide waste of desolation and ashes, and around you over a country now happy in its rebutit homes and redeemed farms, radiant in the light of industrial resurrection, of assure} prosperity and enduring material independ- ence. “The third achievement s the passionless, unostentatious and peaceful manner in which you laid aside the trappings and discipline of the camp for the modest garb of the citi- zens and silent restraints of civil govern- ment “Go forward, my comrades, and by self- denial, by wise economy and well-directed energy, continue the material development of this heaven-blessed section. Go forward in the cultivation of a national fraternity, giv- ing no heed to imprudent or thoughtless efforts to stimuiate sectional animosities in any quarter. Be assured, my confederate comrades, that the overwhelming majority of the Grand Army of the Republic, com- posed of soldiers who were brave in’ battle and are genmerous in peace, courageous, knightiy and true, bear toward you neither lingering bitterness nor sentiment of dis- trust.*” SOME REMARKABLE STATEMENTS. At the conclusion of General Gordon's ad- dress committees were appointed and then General 8. D. Lee, as chairman of the his- torical committee, read his report, which among other things, says “The true use of the war between the states was the digni- fled withdrawal of the southern states from the union to avold the continued breaches of that domestic tranquility guaranteed, but not consummated, by the constitution, and not the high moral purpose of the north to de stroy slavery, which followed incidentally after as a war measure. “As to the war itself and the results of the war, the children of the future would be astonished that a people fought so hard and 50 long with so little to fight for, judging from what they gather from histories now in use, prepared by writers from the north. They are utterly destitute of information as to events leading up to the war. Thelr ac- counts of the numbers engaged, courage dis- played, sacrifices endured, hardships en- countered and barbarity practic:d upon an almost defenseless people, whose arms-bear- ing population was in the army, are incor- Tect in every way. “A people who for four long years fought over almost every foot of their territory, on over 2,000 battlefields, with the odds of 2,504,272 enlisted men against thelr 600,000 enlisted men and their coasts blockaded and rivers filed with gunboats, with 600 vessels of war manned by 35,000 sailors, and who protracted the struggle until over half their soldiers were dead from the casualties of war, had something to fight for. They fought for 'the great principle of locil self-govern- ment and the privilege of managing their own affairs and for the protection of their homes and firesides. “While the scuth would detract not an fota from the patriotic motive and endeavor of those opposing them, she intends that th truth of history shall be written by a sym pathetic and friendly pen, to give her credit for what our ancestors did and for what was done by the south in the war betwae the states; also to chronicle the resuits cf that war and its effects upon the south and upon our common country BOYCOTT UNFAIR BOOKS. “We cinnot too strongly urge upon our people the great importan of avoiding as far as possible the purchasing and dis- seminating of books and literature which are unkind and ufalr to the south, which be little our achlevements, impugn our motive and malign the ¢ aracter of our fllustrious I leaders, “Tn conclusion, we would respectiully | recommend that Dr. J. L. McCurry, the| patriot, statesman, philosopber and educator, | be invited to deliver an address at our next annual reunion on the subfect of slavery, nullification and secession, with special refer- ence to the attitudesvof the people north and south to these ldading questions of American history.” At the conclusfon of this report so great was the din that adjurnment was taken until 7:30 p. m., when Miss Winnie Davis, the “Daughter of the Confederacy,” was in. troduced. A wild shout went up that fairly made the enormous bullding tremble. Hats were flying in the alr, gray-haired men were cheering and yelling, corpletely drowning the music made by the band, which was playl the “Bonnle Blue Flag.”” It had been In tended Miss Davis should greet each veteran by a handshake, but the masses of old vet- erans were £0 overcome w!th enthusiasm that a wild rush was made for the place where Miss Davis stocd, and In an instant | she was surrounded by a mass of men, all pushing pell mell to greep her hand, Realizing the danger of a crush like this, Governor Lowry and several others extri- cated Miss Davis from the crush and placed her where she could be seen by all and bow her acknowledgements. A great shout greeted her appearance, drowning her utterances, but demonstrating that the children of Jeff Dy are dear to those who for four yeara follow 1 the stars and bars. Soon afterward Miss Davis was driven to the residence of Judge Masterson. About 5,000 veterans were torfum when the convention order for the night session. The committee on_ credentlals reported and after this the fight began over the constitution. At Bir- mingham, Ala., last year a pew constitution was adopted, but there was so much dissatis- faction that the commanderAn-chief set the instrument aside and made the old document offective. It was soon seen tonight that a new constitution was demanded and those favoring the continuance of the old constitu- tion were defeated. A committee was ap- pointed to draw up the comstitution. The entire time of the session was taken up in discussing this report. General Schofield was confined to his hotel all day on account of bad weather and was given receptions hoth morning and evening. He and his party left tonight for San Antonio in the audi- was rapped to and will return home via St. Louis. it o eubang X0 POLITICS IN THE GATHERING Large Attendance Assired at Money Convention, May 22.—The most notable of the conventlon for the dis cussion of “sound money” and better bank- ing fac which will meet tomorrow after- noon at 2 o'clock in the Auditorium, is the total obliteration of party lnes in its make- up.

I believe in giving my own political party the first opportunity to keep us in the fold, but it it does not come out In its platform for free silver plainly and unmistakably, and with no loophole left to crawl out af the position, then I am going to leave the party and vote for the candidate, no matter what his politics may be, who supports and carries out the free silver principles.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OklL, May 22.—Al) night long the roads leading to the Kickapoo country were crowded with horse- back going to the Kickapoo The crowd s much larger than iticipated here. There will hardly be an able-bodied man in the town by tomorrow morning. The banks have given notice that they will closs during the day and the report was started thag a raid by outlaws was feared. It will be a great bollday event, and town has today an air of gayety. No one scems to be working. The people stand about the streets talking the matter over. Plenty of queer outfits are golng out This morning a bus drawn by four horses took out a townsite party. On the bus was loaded & big tent and wet and dry supplies and inside were the town projectors and the men who will open the first hotel and restau- rant. A large body of horsemen, over 100 strong, started out this morning. It was a fine sight as they went through the streets four abreast, with Winchesters and canteens strapped to their saddle men on border, was the The railroad put cheap fares into effect yesterday and the trains at midnight came in with people standing in the aisles and on the platforms. Many of them were com= pelled to walk the streets all night, as every bed in town had boen engaged the night before, There is not a horse in town for hire, and very few for sale at an enormous figure. The weather is very cool and the sky has been overcast for two duys. Every= body is praying for rain. There will be no crops in this country unless there s rain very soon. In the Kickapoo country everys thing looks better. Corn is eighteen inches ligh and garden crops look well Marshal Nix has twenty-three deputies and a large number of horsemen in the country. It was rumored this morning that a sooner living In Chandler had been shot by a mar= shal and taken o Clifton in the Sac and Fox country. His name is not known and the report is unconfiry Reports of trouble between marshals and sconers are thick, but they are sensational and unreliable. At the land office nothing was known of any trouble. The purpose of the marshal in the country is understood to be more in the nature of detective work tham irresting sooners or driving them out. Hiatt, the Kansas boy, who was first In line at the land office,” sold his place last night for $300 to a lady who want: to make use of a claim. He has been engaged by her to hold the place for her file and will make the race out to the land for he GUTHRIE, Ok, May e border of the Kickapoo reservation, three asked men rode up to the nostoffice, but while they were dismounting the postmaster and several Kickapoo settlers opencd fire and drove them off.

He said, “All right, I'l} get it,” stepped Inside and grabbed a gum and fired through the window, knocking one of the bandits off his horse. They riddled the house with bullets, picked up the wounded man and left without any booty. MARSHAL AFTER THE SOONERS. United States Marshal Nix sent a dozem deputies into the Kickapoo country to arrest sooners and take them before Unitel States: ommissloner Wilkinson, who is stationed at Kickapoo Falls. The sooners are liable to a fine of $1,000 each. It is sald that some of the sooners are desperate men from all parts of the country and that the deputies are likely to have trouble in getting them. A man who. came in from Shawnee saye that the country is filling up with sooners, so there will soon be more of that class of men than honest homeseckers. It was reported here yesterday that By Jim's band of Kickapoos 1l been in coutfelt the Deep Fork since Sunday night talking about the coming of the white men, which they had learned from a man carrying the news to Chandler. The man who brought the report in said that they were armed with des and had plenty of ammunition and num- At Ingram, on berel about 150 braves and squaws. This. band has been sullen ever since Alloting Agent Neal went among them for thelr names. The story Is laughed at, but Marshak Nix sald they might be troublesome and he- hao wired for instructions. Settlers are forming along the west bank f the North Canadian river from Sweeney's. bridge south for two miles, and the woods are- full of camps. It 15 estimated that at I ast 10,000 men will make the run from that line, run. two miles across the Kickapoo allotments. and meet runners from the south. When the: two bodies get together trouble is predicted.. The men from the south have a little the bet~ ter of it in distance, but have an uphill rum through timber, while the others will rum further, but straight away. A number of members of the divorce colony here will make the run mor for amusement than anything else. Thers are quite a number of divorcees here living in hotels and furnished rooms. Several of the women are going out in carriages to see the- sights. The streets of Oklahoma City reseme ble those of Arkansas City just prior to the opening of the Cherokee strip. Men on horse- k and coverel wagons filed through towm n their way to the border of the Kickapoo country. Street auctions of ponles are golng n in half a dozen places. Horses that two lays ago were not worth $10 are selling read- for $60. From the country around’ Okla= loma at least 3,000 men will run for claims. A number of Towa Indians will make the rum for claims, claiming that as they are now itizens they have a homestead right. Others are selling all their ponies to boomers and will spend the money and then ask the gove ernment to furn.sh more horses to them, New York NEW YOKK FR CROP RUINED, Nothing Saved Except a Littlo Along the, Shoro of the Luke.
