Nashville, Tenn., June 14. Under every condition tending to a success ful reunion, Nashville today officially welcomed the United Confederate Vet erans and their friends, constituting a host conservatively ' estimated at thirty thousand people.- ' The exercises of the day took place in the tabernacle and every bitof space was taken long before the veterans were called to order by Gen eral George "W". Gordon, of Memphis',' commander of the Tennessee division. Spirit of '61 Will be Perpetuated. It was the first convention in the history of the organization that the Sons of Veterans sat with their fath ers, and the cheers from the throats of the younger generation at almost every expression by those who took part in the strife forty years ago, made it plain that the spirit of '6. would be perpetuated in 'generations to come. ' California was represented on the floor; from far off Montana a delega tion was sent, and Ohio was on hand with four delegates. ' It was the fourteenth annual meet ing, and the first at which the distin guished cavalry officer, John B. Gor don, did not, preside. A few steps to the rear of General StephenD. Lee, who occupied the chair, sat General Gordon's widow and two daughters, Mrs. Burton Smith, of Atlanta, and Mrs. Orton Bishop Brown, of Maine. : To the right and to the left of them were seated many of the chief figures of the Confederacy and a charming array of beautifully gowned division and department sponsors. There was a noticeable curtailment of the sponsor feature of the reunion, and it was announced from the stage early that only the sponsors accred ited to departments and divisions would be given seats on the stage. On the stage were General Stephen ' D. Lee, the acting commander-in-chief, Columbus; General William " D. Jones, of Richmond; General C. H. Tebault, of New Orleans, chief sur geon, C. S. A. ,and Miss Co rinne Te bault, sponsor-in-chief; General W. B. Mickle, of New Orleans, adjutant general; General" W. S'Canell, com manding the trans-Mississippi drvi sion; General AT J. West, Atlanta, commanding the North Georgia BrU gade; GenerakC. Irvine Walker, com man ding the department of Virginia, and General Clement A, Evans, Atlan ta, who succeeded General Stephen D. Lee as commander j of the depart ment of Tennessee.; v . North Carolina Brum Corps Causes Great Enthusiasm . The convention hall was well filled by 11 o'clock; "The long wait1 of an hour and a half .before the gathering was called to order was enlivened by the appearance of the Kentucky del egation, with their band, and iater by the arrival of the only surviving drum corps of the Confederate hosts, a band of three or four men from North Carolina. As they marched down the longjfetisle to -the tune of ,,,Dixie,,, escorVg a North Carolina camp, the enthusiasm of the old vet erans was unbounded. A few mo menta later the Seventh United States cavalry band, stationed at Chatta nooga,' came into the hall playing a spirited march. They marched down to the stage and were escorted up to the' gallery, V where they took a posi tion in the extreme end . over the platforms, their uniforms forming the only variation to the predominat ing gray of those assembled. Governor Frazier's Address. : -- After " General Gordon had called the veterans to order, Chaplain Jones, delivered the invocation - Governor J: B.- Frazier welcomed the delegates to Tennessee in a splendid-, addjs. Twice he started to his seat, onl3cap "be recalled and urared on in behalloff xne veterans.. Among . the ot things. Governor "Frazier sajd: OFFICERS TODAY "When that grand man, that patri at, that noble, Christian soldier. Gen eral Robert E. Lee, surrendered at Appomattox he spoke .with a heart too lull for deceit in that no southern mother swore her . son to bitterness. She swore him to love and honor. All accepted the inevitable finality. When you saw furled for the last time the stars and bars you had fol lowed for four years, when you had made your last final march back to your homes, had a final farewell tour of comrades and found the sainted mother's grave sleeping in the family cemetery, the beautiful home in ruins and ashes, when you pressed upon your wife's lip a loving kiss, you sealed a solemn pledge that from that day on, you would -know but one country and but one flag. "You came back to take up your old work, to build a new civilization., to redeem a land that had almost ma liciously been given to the negro. In less than thirty-five years, unaided by anything except a fertile land and energy, you have attained commercial freedom for the south. The south has already snatched from New England the hitherto unchallenged record of cotton manufacturing.. The south i3 destined to become the garden spot f in this fair land. (Applause.) "We welcome you to the warm hos pitality and sunshine of the south, and if that is not warm enough, wel come you to some of our good homes." (Applause and cheers.) Remarkable Demonstration Greets General Lee. After Colnel A. S. Williams, mayr of Nashville, had extended the city's welcome, General Gordon brought forward General Stephen I. Lee, as the permanent presiding officer and commander-in-chief. General - 'Lee's appearance was the signal for a re markable outburst - of enthusiasm. Cheer after cheer greeted him. Hats, canes, handkerchiefs '-and coats went into the air in all parts of the audi toriumr and the gallery added its vo ciferous voice to the demonstration. The band took up the spirit of the oc casion, and General Lee was kept bowing from side to side for several minutes. He said: "It is impossible for me to respond to the kindly and cordial welcome so fitly spoken to my comrades who wore the gray, without thinking of the great soldier and orator upon whom this duty would have' fallen, if he had not been taken from us. It was in historic Nashville, seven years ago, that his eloquent voice gave utterance to the gratitude of our hearts to the citizens; of this beautiful city for the hospitality for which they are famous, and which today has laid us under new obliga tions. Itwas here that he placed in your hands his commission as your chief tan, and sought to retire into private station. With an outburst of loyal devotion, resistless as the whirlwind, you again called him to be your leader, and gave him the commission of your unmeasured love and confidence.: He was true to your service , to the last. His no ble voice is hushed forever. He has answered the great roll call. He has conquered the last enemy. He has joined his great commander in the white hosts' of peace. The - armies of the Confederacy have marched to fame's eternal camping ground, and we who-meet today are only the be lated stragglers of that mighty host who have entered into their1- immor tality. - ' " 'The living are brave and noble, But the dead were the bravest of of all.' "As I listened to the eloquent and comforting addresses of welcome " it was Impossible for me not to remem ber an occasion' now nearly forty years past, when some of us yearned to enjoy, the hospitality of Nashville. Many of her citizens would at that time have been, glad to see us, but not half as much so as we would have been to see them. Between us and these hospitable homes there stretched a wall ot fire, and instead of your cordial greetings we heard the thunder of guns. - "This time, however, we have kept our -engagements better, 'and your good : will has made us more than conquerors. We have entered into this city of great men and great mem ories," -We have .' beheld your educa tion Institutions; sending light and hope into the remotest corners of our .beloved land. .We have made pil grimages to the graves of your mighty dead. We have been refreshed by your hospitality. :r . "Tlie Confederate soldier does not forget , that from the bosom of this old commonwealth came , a hundred and fifteen thousand men to - follow the banners of Lee and Johnston, and that more than thirty-one thousand were enlisted in . the armies of the Union.

Burbank, of Arizona,, a retired mer chant, attempted to kill himself to day by cutting his .throat in a law office. He is now a prisoner in a hos pital, charged with attempted suicide. His wound is slight. Samuel M. Burbank is 55 years old and brother of Caleb A. Burbank, a residuary legatee of the late Am brose Brackett Burbank, a million aire, who died on January 17th last, and for several months up to the time of his death was nursed by Samuel M. Burbank. . Mr. Burbank is from Minnehaha, Arizona. There was pending in the surrogate's court today an order to show "cause why Caleb A. Burbank should not produce an alleged second will, which would not have made him thtf" residuary legatee, nor have given Samuel M. Burbank' $25,000. Canansel for the contestants had asked whether Samuel M7" Burbank, as the constant companion of the testator, might know something about a later will. .'Whether this had ever reached the ears of Samuel M. Burbank, and had an effect on his attempt to take his life; today, or whether the attempt was made solely because hi4 mind fcrasv temporarily unbalanced, as a result of the long J siege of nursing his uncle, is not known. ' . V The disclosures in the affidavits on file indicate very spirited contest on the part of the various nieces and nephews of the aged capitalist, who in the will offered for probate be-r queathed the bulk of his estate to his nephew, Caleb A. Burbank, a prac ticing lawyer in this city. The estate has been estimated at from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, and among several minor bequests was one of $25,a00 to William F. Burbank. a San Francisco banker, who refused to take any part in the litigation over the will. William F. Burbank married the daughter of a California millionaire some years ago, and besides his Cal ifornia interests is proprietor of the Twin City Daily Sentinel, of Winston Salem, North Carolina.. His estimate of the estate i saidto be $2,000,000. Years ago the several Burbank brothers were n business togeiher in Henderson, Ky. CLAYTON WILL SOON RETIRE. On a Visit to Washington He Dis cusses Politics With tlie-President. Washington, June 1 4. Powell Clayton, a United States ambassador, to Mexico, today visited the White House and the state department and discusfoid the. polit4cal dUtuatjon. There is some expectation that his presence here will mark the last of Mr. Clayton's incumbency as ambas sador to Mexico. He has lived in Mexico since 1896 and has frequently expressed a desire to retire from his office. . It is said that he "would have re signed a year ago but for an attack in the United States Senate by cham pions of some - American claimants j Whn haI (rntton intn trmiWa -rrrl f Vi 4-Via Mexican government.

The general staff remained in session Until almost 2 q'clock this morning to translate and give out Lieutenant Gen- eral Baron Stakelberg's message an- nouncing the fight at Vafangowv This unusually late hour indicates that the authorities attach considerable impor tance to the dispatch. !It is thought: here that the Vafan gow affair may prove to have been quite a heavy fight. Thfact that the Rus sians held their position in the face of heavy losses also supports this theory and it is believed that it may turn out to be a severe check to the Japanese northern advance. The movement of three thousand Japanese north of Kuan Dian-Sain only. adds. to the blindness of the situa tion in the northeastern field of opera tions. It is unquestionable ihat the Cossacks have been worrying the Japa nese north of Feng Wang Cheng and the movement may be. merely an effort to cleaf the country. At the same time, this movement- holds the possibility of a demonstration against Mukden, one of the nain roads leading directly east from Mukden toward the " region to which the Japanese are now advancing. The consensus of opinion, however, is that the advance is more, in the nature of "a demonstration . than a preliminary to an actual attack. - A special dispatch from Liao Yang dated June 14 says: "Yesterday (Monday) at the battle of Vafangow, Japanese troops numbering 20,000 tried to pass our flank but were discovered We changed our position. Annl-;ri -Tn rMO ao nni irunOi heavy fire on our centre. - On the night of June 12th, southwest of Vafandlan, the Cossacks came into contact, with the Japanese and drove them from their position. iWe lost two men.

PEOPLE ARE AROUSED Board of County' Commissioners Re fuses Request of Pikevillo and Fremont Citizens. - ; (Special to The Messenger.) Goldsboro, N. C, June 14. The very small crop of tobacco which has been Planted in f this section has caused the people who have been in the tobacco business here for years to move to other locations, among whom are Mr. Geo. S. Pritchard, who has been with the Imperial Tobacco Company here for the Past several seasons and who has been one of the largest buyers on this market, and Mr. James Jones, one of the most active warehouse mana gers in the city, who has given up.
