THE NEXT REUNION ATLOUISVILLE.
Ninth Annual Meeting of Confeder-
ate Veterans Closes—A Stirring
Session, With Praise For
President McKinley.
CHARLESTON, May 13.—With a spirI
ited and at" times stormy session, the
ninth annual reunion of the United
Confederate veterans wasbrought to a
close.‘ General John B. Gordon, com-
mander in chief, and all the old officers
were re—elected, Louisville was chosen
as the next place of meeting and the
question of federal care of Confederate
graves was disposed of by the adoption
of a substitute resolution which de-
clines the president's suggestion except
as to those graves located in the north
and reserving to the women of the
south the duty of caring for those in
the seceding states 'and Maryland.
The adoption of this resolution and
the report that accompanied it precipi-
tated a debate which verged upon the
sensational, and at times much confu-
sion and disorder prevailed. The reso-
lution adopted in place of the one offer-
ed by Stephen D. Lee is in full as fol-
lows:
“Your committee, to whom was re—
ferred the resolution introduced by
General S. D. Lee, beg to report the
following substitute, with the recom—
mendation of thecommittee that the
same be adopted:
" ‘The United Confederate veterans in
this annual reunion assembled desire to
place updn record tlTeir since1e appre-
ciation of the utte1ances of the p1esi~
dent of the United States in Atlanta. in
December last concerning the assump-
tion of the care of the g1aves of our
Confederate dead by the national gov-
ernment.
“ ‘We appreciate every kindly senti-
ment expressed, and we shall welcome
any legislation which shall result in the
care of the graves of our comrades in
the northern states by our government.
ff jIn regard to our deadwhose remains
are resting in the states which were
represented in the Confederacy and
Maryland, the care of their final rest-
ing places is a. sacred trust dear to the
hearts of southern women, and ’w.e..be-
lieve that we can safely let it there re-

main.’ ” ,7 133;};
Several very vigorous speeches were
made in opposition to the whole prin-
ciple involved in the matter but the
l:frot upon the resolt‘iggn was prac-
Itlca mmo s and the announce-
ment1 yof its passage was cheered.
The report alluded to the war with
Spain as a factor in obliterating the
shadows of the war between the states
and referred to the prompt response of
the southern states to the call for troops
as showing the whole country the depth
and fervor of southern patriotism. Con-
tinuing, the report says:
“I3i‘es‘ident McKinley displayed the
Spirit of the American soldier when he
chose‘from his former foes the gallant
Wheeler, the steadfast Fitz-Hugh Lee.
the chivalrous Butler and many others
of our own brave comrades to marshal
the hosts of the Union. We are glad
that General Wheeler had another op-‘
portunity to exhibit the fighting quali-
ties of the Confederate soldier and that
Lieutenants Hobson, Victor Blue and
Worth Bagley in the navy showed the
country of what stuff our young ,men
are made. Once more the blood of
north and south has been poured out
together—‘no longer beneath contending
standards in the bitterness of war be-
tween the states, but now beneath one
flag, to the glory of one ecuntry. The
dead at least belong to us all. The last
hateful memory that could div ide our
country is buried with them. About
their graves kneels a new nation, loving
all her children everywhere the same.”
Collision on the P. and R.
READING, Pa.. May 13.-—Shortly be-
fore 10 o’clock last night a collision of
passenger trains occurred on the Phil—
adelphia and Reading at Exeter station,

3:30 p. m. for Philadelphia, was behind
schedule time in leaving and stopped
at Exeter for orders. A special train
from Harrisburg bearing excursionists
who had attended the Haitranft mon-
ument unveil" 11g at the capitol, left he1e
20 minutes later than the epress train
and at Exeter, while proceeding at a
rapid speed, crashed into the express.
Several cars of the express train were
wrecked. and a number of persons are
reported killed.
