Speech from General Joe Wheeler.
The Reception to the President at Night a
Brilliant Affair.
Atlanta, Ga,, December 14. Presi
dent McKinley made memorable the
first day of the Atlanta peace jubilee by
a notable utterance in his speech before
the Joint session of the Georgia legisla-
ture this afternoon. His reception by
the general assembly was warm and
hearty 1n the extreme, and his speech
was punctured with frequent outbursts
of cheering. It is admitted on all sides
that the address marked an epoch in
history and is tonight on every lip.
Upon the president's arrival at the cap
itol he was greeted with a field ar
tillery salute and was at once escorted
to Governor Candler's office. There a
short Informal reception took place.
Upon its conclusion the president was
conducted to the assembly chamber
-where he occupied the speaker's chair
with Governor Candler on his right.
When President Dodson, of the sen
ate, called the legislature to order the
galleries were thronged with men and '
women. The body of the chamber was
well filled with state senators ana as
semblymeni, while the uniforms of va
rious officers and the governor's staff
gave a touch of brilliant color to the
gathering. On the first row back of the
speaker at Secretaries jage, Long,
Wilson, and Smith and Secretary Por
ter. Beside the speaker's desk and be
low the president, Generals Wheeler,
Lawton and Young in full uniform sat
i f nl M 1-sv to tt rvrl rvr c
lence and introduced the president to
the audience after congratulating the i
state of Georgia upon the presence of
their distinguished guests.
As the president rose the audience
applauded, inuring the course of his
short speech Mr. McKinley referred to
his notes and constantly paused for the
cheers to stop. A scene of intense en
thusiasm followed when amid impres
sive silence these words fell from the
lips of the president:
"Sectional lines no longer mar
the unity of the United states. Sec
tional feeling no longer holds back the
love we bear each other. Fraternity
is the national anthem, sung by a
chorus of forty-five states and our
territories at home and beyond the
seas. The union is once more the
common Atlas of our love and loyalty,
our devotion and sacrifice. The old ,
flag again waves over us in peace wun ;
new glories which your sone and ours
have this year added to its sacred
folds. What cause we have for re
joicing is saddened only by the' fact
that so many of our brave men fell
on field or sickened and died from
hardship and exposure, and others
returning, bringing wounds and disease
from which they will long suffer. The
memory of the dead will be precious
legacy and the disabled will be the na
tions care. N
"A nation which cares for its dis
abled soldiers as we have always done
will never lack defenders. The nation
al cemeteries for those who fell in bat
tle are proof that the dead as well
as the living, have our love. What on
army xf silent sentinels we have and
with what loving care their graves are
kept
"Every soldier's grave made during
the unfortunate civil war is attributed
to American valor; and while, when
those graves were made, we differed
widely about the future of the govern
ment, those differences were long ago
settled by the arbitrarment of arms,
anfl the time has now come in the evo
lution of sentiment and feeling under
the providence of God,, when in the
spirit of fraternity we should share
with you in the care of the graves of
the confederate soldiers."
"The cordial feeling now happily
existing between the north and outh
prompts this gracious act, and if it
needed further justification it is found
in She gallant loyalty, to the union and
the flag so conspiciously shown in the
year just passed by the sons and grand
sons of these heroic deafi.
"What a glorious future awaits us if,
unitedly, wisely and bravely we face
the aew problems now pressing upon
us, determined to solve them for right
and haxmanity."
A wiif cheer went up Xrom every
throat in the typical southern audience,
a cheer that echoed and re-echoed
through the chamber until it was takem
up by the -crowds outside. Old men
who fought for the south, rose from
their seats and waved their hats.
.One confederate veteran, nowa ven-
.erable legislator, had passed forward'
until he was leaning against the ipeak
, , ers desk, hanging on each word the
president uttered. When the refejr
o ence was made to the confederate dead,

in His Audience.
arms and while the cheers rang out,
cried like a little child.
Of all the many conciliatory speeches
which have been made since Grant
laid: "Let There be Peace," nothing
has more deeply stirred a southern au-
dience than the simple words of Pres
ident McKinley this afternoon.
No sooner had President McKinley
concluded than there were loud cries
for Wheeler and when that little man
got up his head scarcely higher than
the speaker's "desk, the audience once
more gave vent to wild enthusiasm.
General Wheeler referred eulogistically
to the efforts of the president towards
preserving peace as long as the coun
try's honor would permit such efforts
and of his masterful policy after war
was inevitable. General Wheeler paid
a tribute to Admiral Dewey and added:
"The army In conjunction with the
navy was ordered to attack and de
stroy the Spanish forces at Santiago.
In four weeks that order was obeyed
and its purpose accomplished. The
proud Spanish nation stood suing for
peace from a nation which a month
before it had held up to ridicule and
scorn
Calls for Brigadier General Young
brought that officer to his feet with a
short speech regarding the conditions
of the army camps in the south. He
said that no troops inthe world were
better, more regularly fed and treated
than were the troops in South Carolina
and Georgia. General Lawton was
loudly cheered but refused to make a
speech. He simply thanked, on behalf
of his men at Santiago, the legislature
and people of Georgia for their tribute
10 oimseit-
Secretary Alger refused to speak and :
the legislature dissolved.
The president held a private recep
tion in the senate and afterward a pub
lic reception on the steps of the ro
tunda. There hundreds of southerners
crushed and jostled each other in their
anxiety to shake a northern president's
hand.
Many had come from miles distant
and when at 2:15 o'clock p. m., the
president left the capitol there were
still hundreds bitterly disappointed be
cause they had not been able to make
their way through the surging throng
to get a second hold on his hands. The
day's festivities included a unique
floral parade which was reviewed by
the president and a reception tonight
to the distinguished guests at the Cap-
itol City CiUD
Tonight the members of the Capitol
City Club opened their club house to
the president and Mrs. McKinley and
the guests of the city. The occasion
was notably brilliant. The receiving
party consisted of a number of Atlan
ta's women and a large number of club
members. The decorations were flags,
and American beauty roses.
The late arrivals today were Hon.
Evan Settle, of Kentucky, who will
speak in the place of Congressman
Bailey; Richmond P. Hobson and Mis3
Hobson, and Governor Voorhees, of
New Jersey.
SPANISH SHIPPING
Not to Enjoy Preferential Treatment lu
Cuban and Porto Rlean Trade
Washington, December 14. Spanish
shipping is not to enjoy preferential
treatment in the Cuban and Porto Rl
ean trade under the terms of the peace
treaty. Something of that nature may
be brought about in negotiations that
must follow between the United States
and Spain as part of the project for
the restoration of commerical relations,
but so far Jt has not been provided for,
although the Spanish commissioners
made a special request that the privi
lege should be accorded. The text of
the treaty has not yet been received at
the state department. The document
is so long that the expense of cabling
the text would be too great and would
not be warranted in view of the fact
that the government already possesses
a sufficient accurate outline of the ar
ticles. The American commissioners
are expected to sail Saturday which
will bring them to their homes "by
I Christmas.- They will bring the treaty
with them and it is believed that the
document will not be published before
it is delivered to the department of
state, notwithstanding the Madrid in
timation that it is to be printed as a
"Red book."

Adjutant General Corbin, Before the

Gives His View
Washing! oi, December 14. Adjutant
iSJES
the house committee on military af
fairs. His statements attracted un
usual interest because of their direct
reference to conditions in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines and the mili
tary requirements on which the war
department was acting. As to the
need of an increased army. General
Corbin said that was a most serious
proposition. He proceeded:
"The Cuban evacuation commission
consisting of Generals Wade and But
ler and Admiral Sampson has submit
ted a statement that in order to restore
order and' preserve order in Cuba, it
will require the presence of an army
of 50,000 men."
General Corbin said he would send
this recommendation, In confidence to
the committee, but later it was arrang
ed that it should be submitted without
confidential reservations. It was on
this recommendation, said General Cor
bin, that the plan of sending troops to
Cuba was based. It might be found
that 50,000 men would not be absolutely
requisite.
"But we are holding 50,000 men in
readiness to go if required," said the
general as to the Philippines, "when
General Otis in command there, has
recommended that 25,000 men were re
quired. In Porto Rico the officers in
command there recommend that the
force now on hand is about adequate
for the requirements. The present
force there is 6,700. That made 81,000
men, leaving, with an army of 100,000,
about 18,000 for reserves at home.
"It must be borne in mind," said
General Corbin, "that an army in time
of peace is like insurance. It is a prep
aration for an emergency. If we had
such an army last June there would
have been no such loss of life as oc
curred." J "1 !'M
"Do you think 50,000 men for Cuba
a conservative estimate?" asked Mr.
Jett, of Illinois.
"I think it is," answered the general.
"And how long will that last?" ask
ed Mr. Hay.
"I wish I could say," answered Gen
eral Corbin, "but no man can say."
Owing to importunities of congress
men, for the release of volunteers the
Associated Press was requested to
send General Corbin's statement on
that point. He said:
"The department is disposed to deal
very leniently as to letting off men who
are needed at home. In some cases col
onels have been instructed to reduce
companies to eighty men, so as to let
off men who are urgently needed at
home, and even below eighty we are
making discharges on satisfactory
statements that the presence of the
men are needed at home."
SIKVIVOKS OF THE LONDONIAN
Eight More of Her Crew Hescued The
Steamer:. Klarla Rlckmers Takes
Them From the .Wreck Eighteen of
the Crew Perish
Baltimore, December 14.-. Eight ad
ditional survivors of the crew of the
lost steamship Londonian were brought
into this port tonight by the North
German Lloyd steamship Maria Rlck
mers. They are Captain E. B. Lee,
Third Officer Joseph Cottier, Boatswain
Behm, Quartermaster F. Carlsen, Sea
men J. Webb and W. Carness, Second
Steward D D.arnell and Second Cook
W. Martini
These with forty-five previously res
cued by the Johnston Line steamer
Vedamere, complete the list of survi
vors, eighteen having been lost in an
attempt to leave the disabled ship in
one of her small boats. Of the lat;
ter two were cattlemen, anid the bal
ance were members of the crew.
When the Maria Rickmers sighted
the wreck a heavy swell prevailed, mak
ing it difficult to launch a boat, but
without an instant's hesitation the at
tempt was made and Second Mate D
Lenz, of the Rickmers, together with
six men, put off to the rescue. For
more than three hours futile attempts
were made to reach the wreck. Final
ly as a last resort the rescuers got in
close to the stern of the disabled craft
and shouted to those on board, all of
whom were huddled on the bridge to
make their way aft and throw them
a line. This being complied with, the
shipwrecked sailors were instructed
to make the line fast about their bod
ies and throw themselves into the water
One after another they obeyed and
were thus drawn aboard the life boat.
When the rescuers and the rescued
readied the side of the Rickmers, it
was found that the sea was still so
high as to make it impossible to bring
the boat close alongside, and one after
another of the occupants of the little
craft were hauled aboard with lines
and the fife boat set adrift. The wreck
of the Londonian drifted away in the
darkness and those who had been on
board of "her have little doubt that she
ultimately sank.

SENATE.
Washington, December 14. The Nic
aragua canal bill held its place as the
principal subject before the senate
again today, the pending question be
ing Senator Turpie's motion to post
pone until January 10th. Speeches
were made by Senators Harris,
Money, Stewart and Morgan.
Senator Harris spoke upon the gen
eral features of the bill. He said that
as a boy he was attached to a sur
veying party in the isthmus in 1&59,
and ever since that time he had been
the zealous advocate of the general
proposition that a canal should be
built across the isthmus. Still he did
not consider it practicable for a pri
vate corporation to construct the canal
and he urged government ownership.
He said he considered the Panama
canal as entirely impracticable. He
supported Senator Berry's amendment
relieving the bll of its bond provis
ions, saying it would greatly improve
the measure.
The Clayton-Bulwar
treaty formed
the basis of a brief
speech by Senator
ed delay in order
Money. He advocated
to afford opportunity for negotiation
of the treaty. He said we should at
least notify Great Britain that we de
sire a modification of the treaty as a
first step. In this connection he referr
ed to the entente cordiale existing be
-v w " - s
tween this country and England, say-
ing that he wanted to see the two na
tions brought even closer together
than now. Hence the importance and
propriety of dealing fairly and cour
teously with Great Britain in this im
portant matter.
Senator Bacon gave notice of an
amendment, to the bill providing that
work should not e begun on the canal
under the bill until the government or
..icaragua should consent to a modi
fication cf the treaty granting title to
the. United States , in perpetuity to the
canal's right of way and also elimi
nating articles 53 and 54 of the con
cession from that document.
Senator Stewart advocated the bill
as a most important step in the pro
gress of the commerce of the wTorld
and urged senators to accept it as it
stands.
Rorslvintr to Senator Money, Sena
tor Morgan said he never claimed that
the Clayton-Bulwur treaty was hot in
full force, denying tne assertion im
puted to him that that treaty had van
ished Into the air. He had been or tne
opinion that the treaty had been abro-
gaed by the acts of Great Britain ana
would still hold that opinion Dut ior
President Cleveland's recognition of
the treaty, a recognition which had
given It a vitality that it did not pre
viously possess.
At the conclusion of Senator Mor
gan's remarks, ar. agreement was
reached to vote upon Senator Turpie's
postponement tomorrow after the sen
ate wenlVnto executive session.
During the early part of the session
Senator Vest called attention to . pri
vate pension bills and entered a pro
test against their passage without due
consideration, as he said the senate
was falling into the habit of Going. He
did not want to deprive any honest ap
plicant of his pension, but he wanted
the abuses stopped.
The senate adjourned at 5:25 o'clock
p. m.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The house today for the second time
during this congress refused to con
sider the Lodge immigration bill. At
the last session an attempt was made
to take it from the speaker's table,
but it was defeated by a large majorl
I ty. Mr. Danford, of Ohio, chairman of
the immigration committee, thougnt
the bill would be stronger at this ses
sion after the elections were over, but
today when he tried again to secure
consideration the house declined 100 to
103 to take it up.
An interesting, but brief, debate on
the rules was precipitated during the
session by Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania,
during which Mr. Dearmond made a
speech on decadence of the privilege
of debate in the house. He was ex
ceedingly ironical in his reference to
the decadence of the old time privi
lege "of full debate. It had become th
fashion, he said, to bring in repressive
rules to cut off debate upon every Im- ;
portant question, and asserted that the
rules under which the house was now
operating, which could not have been
adopted permanently, had become per
manent by the attitude of the speaker.
Mr. Dearmond was liberally applaud
ed by his side of the house when he
concluded. '
The speaker from the chair, replied
to his critics as follows:
ptShtaSS ZlUSrZZmSZ
""The erenUenmn from Missouri has
in regard to the speaker and the other
members of the committee on rules
thai I am happy to state are not justi
fied by the facts. The house must not
feel itself to have been treated to an
unusual discourse upon the lack of lib
erty given to "the citizen. It so hap-
pens that In the house of representa
tives there are many members and that
. while In the theory every jnan can oc
cupy all the time in discourse. In actu
al practice, he has to occupy it in sub
ordination to the rights of every other
member, to the rights of the body It
. self ant? to the prosecution of public
I business. Jn actual practice, also, the
house may have noticed that, however
much despotism is exercised by the
rule, there Is no subject in the heavens
above or in the earth beneath that has
not been discussed, even in this politi
cal congress. (Laughter.) Now, If the
gentleman from Missouri will turn to
the annals of congress, away back in
1816. during the period of liberty such
as he thinks he desires, he will find
that John Randolph, who certainly was
heard enough to become famous for a
century, was complaining about the des
potism of the rules at that period, and
was also complaining that even the
arch Inquisitor himself would have been
satisfied with the wickedness of them.
So you se that human nature is the
same In all time." (Laughter and ap
! plause on the republican side.)
The pension appropriation bill was
reported to the house and Mr. Barney,
republican, of Wisconsin. 'gave notice
that he would call it up tomorrow.
The senate bill to regulate the sit
ting of United States courts within the
district of South Carolina was passed.
The house adjourned at 2:05 o'clock
