Increases the Enthusiasm by Hugging Mrs Stone wall Jackson. Resolution Regarding the Care of Confederate Graves and McKin ley's Speach at Atlanta Sent to Committee. Chart eston, May 30. The confederate soldier is marching again.. Today forty thousand visitors wjere yelling them selves hoarse at 1 he-mere mention of a confederate name. The annual con vention of the United Confederate vet erans began this morning. Before the work was well under way the cruiser F-aleigh steamed into the harbtor and 11... J me uiunaer oi ner cannon caused a temporary cessation of business. The Ealeigh is the feature so far, of the gathering. Geneisl "Wheeler, with the uniform of the United States army, provoked more real genuine enthusi asm than nearly all the other confed erate officers combined. These two have helped to heal the breach which of necessity is kept wider by the mem ories brought up at each gathering of confederate soldiers. There were two striking features at the convention today. General J. B Cordon, who was given a perfect ova tion, stepped out on the auditorium stage In the presence of six thousand persons and hugged the widow of tone wall Jackson, Just as he kissed the widow of Jefferson Davis two years ago at Richmonl. General Gordon received a great ovation when he arose. He paid a glowing tribute to General Stonewall Jaskson, and said though he was dead there was one here among them that General Jackson loved better than his life--his wife, (wild cheering.) General Gordon assisted Mrs. Jack sop to the platform and the ovation given her was equal to that given Gen era? Wade Hampton the night before. rirtrfln shook her hand for VITiiCA 1 "them all," and with characteristic quickness said: "And I'm going to do more-I'm going to hug her"-a.nd hug her General Gordon . did, amid tre mendous applause.

This is the Scheme Until Congress Shall Decide on Permanent Gov ernment for the Islands- Washington, May 10. Secretary Hay today telegraphed President Schurman, by the direction of President McKinley, a statement in regard to the character oCthe government the United States is wililng to establish in the PhiliD- pines after the surrender of Aguinaldo and the restoration of peace. It will bemore civil than military, somewhat similar to that of Porto Rico. The head will be a governor whose functions will be civil, although he may be a military man. There may be an advisorv council comnnsed of Filipinos, whose business will be to confer with the governor on - official n.atters and suggest changes in the manner of exercising his authority. .i-oeal governments will be entirely in ihe hands of the Filipinos, subject to ljn-JSUI?ervision by the Americans. "The plan proposed practically amounts to the autonomous system and it is believ 3d that it will be ac ceptable. It is to be continued only un til congress decides what shall be the character of the government. Presi dent Schurman was instructed to com municate with Aguinaldo or his au thorized representatives, the proposi tions of the United States in regard to the character of the proposed govern ment, ajid officious believe he is now conferring on the subject.
