Pandemonium at the Sons of Veterans' Meet ings Fierce Tumult Over an Unsuccessful Effort to Elect Young Robert E. Lee as Head of the Order. Charleston, S C.. May 12. -The s s- sion of the Sons of Cenfederate veter ans' convention today resembled the gathering of a mob. When the election of officers was ta'tten up, the grandson of Robert E. Lee, bearing the same name as the dead chieftain, was hiesed wien his name va3 presented for the head of the order. F. H. McMaster made a thrilling speech favoring Lee, and his name was sweeping the con vention when Delegate Mann, of Vir ginia, in a fiery gneech oppose! th nomination. Hs words - received mingled hissSi and applause. The hiss ing increased and the name of Lee was sneered. Pandemonium followed and for half an hour the scene was one of fiercest tumult. - John Earle, of South Carolina, got. the floor and reminded the assemblage that they were sons of confederate vet erans and not a mob. Walter J. Colquitt, of Georgia, was finally nominated and elected. The opposition to Lee was based on the fact that he was not allied with the sons of veterans.- He did not join he sons in Virginia at their request, hence the bitterness. Yesterday Lee was elected a member of the oamp in .Charleston and was eligible to serve. Stormy scenes were enacted also at the convention of United Confederate veterans. When the subetitute for General Stephen D. Lee's resolution in regard to McKinley's utterances on the care of the confederate dead was pre sented r reciting that MeKinley's utter ances were appreciated, and any legis lation resulting in the care of confeder ates in the north would be welcomed, but the care of the dead in the south was reserved for confederate women, a delegate arose and said that ll.ere was too much McKinley ism about the af fair." Rev. S." T. Martin, ofJVirginia, attri buted MeKinley's utterances to his de sire to obtain southern votes. He add ed: "This thing puts us in the attitude of coming before, the government which slew our men and begging for something. If the" United States had repented and eome to us begging for forgiveness we could not surrender to them the care of our dead." The re marks caused tremendous commotion. .Martin switched off on " politics and was 'Quickly called to order. F. H.

Eastport, L. I., May 12- Ex-Governor Roswell P. Flower died here at 10:30 o'clock, tonight of. acute indigestion, despite the effoi s if his physicians to save him. He was attack-d this after noon and grew sradily worai until he died. It has been th(i custom of the ex- goYernor for' some days' past to come here for the purpose of fishing. He was a millionaire, a financier and heavily interested in speculation in Wall street. He was also the promoter and backer of many enterprises. Mr. Flower came down frpm New Tork today in apparent robust health. He was an ardent fisherman' and' fre quented the Ea&tport Country club on many occasions Shortly afJLidinjier he was attacked with a form of indi gestion from which he suffered on a number of occasions in previous years and which accompanied heart failure. He was taken to his room at the club. He rested for a short lime and seemed to be recovering. Meantime Mrs. Flower and members of the firm of F:ower & Company, 45 Broadway, were notified. Frederick S. Flower, a nephev of the x -governor, telephoned Dr. Allen,, their family physician. Drf Al.'en, on a special train, arrived this evening with Mrs. Flower. They found the governor partly recovered rnd under treatment. He was soon sleeping. Later, however, the attack returned more severely, and notwithstanding the doctors'-efforts he died. ' - . - - Mr. Flower was a great favorite with the members of the Country club and ail mourn his suddt-n death. They ex tended their sympathies to the widow and nephew. An undertaker prepared the body for removal to the Flower residence, Fifth avenue, New York. Mr. Flower was born at Theresa, N. Y., August 7, 18V,. On January 1, 1895, he was succeeded as governor of New York by Levi P.Morton and re sumed the management of his finan cial concerns. His political ambition-? before he became governor aimed high, but ithey received kittle encouragement outside his wn native state. Few would regard reriously his appearance as a candidate for " the presidential nomination, though his name was pre sented for the honor in the convention that nominated Cleveland for his sec ond, term.

Says Reed Acted Toward Him in Violation 01 the Constitution. Very willing to Eeturn to Active Military Service waiting Orders from Washington as to Whether he Will go to the Philippines. Chattanooga, May 12. General " Wheeler is in the. city.- Tomorrow he will meet the river and harbor com mittee of the hoosj- of representatives and go. down the Tennessee river with them. Wheeler, in an interview today. criticised Speaker Reed. Speaking of Reed's refusal to recognize him on the last day of consvFs on the floor hi said: "That is part and parcel of Reed's assumption of tuthorky which the constitution does not give him. The constitution says that the house shall be the judge of the election qualifica tions of its members. By a vote of more than two to one, they refused even to consider the question declaring my seat' vacant, and even after that, in direct violation of the constitution, Reed assumed to decide this question for himself. But that was all right. I am still here. That did not hurt me." General Wheeler will resign from congress, if sent to the Philippines. In regard to this he said: "I will do- Just what the president tells me to do in regard to my seat In congress. If he say. for me to go to .Manila with the army, and there ara no signsof peace, I shall resign from congress, otnerwise i snail retain my seat in the next house. I would like to see active service very much. I am awaiting orders from Washington and cannot tell yet what I shall do." HONORS TO DEWEY.
