VOL. XII. J . ill KB JII. PRESIDENT AND PARTY GIYEX GREAT OVATIOX. A RECEPTION BY LEGISLATURE. MoniUr Parade President Speaks Auditorium Festivities End With Grand Banquet. at Atlanta's Peace Jubilee celebration began Wednesday morning with the arrival of President McKinley' and party at 8 o'clock. The trip of the presidential special from Washington to Atlanta was with out incident and but few stops were made. At every station after leaving Washington the train, was met by tre mendous crowds, but with few except tions the sightseers, only had an op portunity to catch a glimpse of the flying cars. When the chief executive stepped from the train at Atlanta he was ac corded an ovation by a big crowd, which had gathered at the station. The party was escorted at once to the Kimball House where lynch was serv ed and where the president remained until 1 o'clock when, carriages were drawn up and the party driven to the capitol building where a reception was .tendered the distinguished guests '-by ine Georgia legislature. There was a great ovation to the . visitors, but General Wheeler was at once picked out by the crowd for es . pecial honors, and cheer after cheer was given for the brave ex-Confederate officer. President McKinley and Governor Candler were esnorted to seats upon the speaker's stand, and the other dis tinguished gentlemen and the ladies of the party were given places upon the left of the hall. """ rresidant Dodson introduced Mr. McKinley with appropriate word. ' . The President's Address. President McKinley spoke as foU lows: s . ' "Sectional lines no longer mar the map of the United States. Sectional 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 territories at home and beyond the seas. The Union is onoe more the common altar of our love and loyalty, our devotion and sacrifice. The old flag again wavos J year added to its sacred folds. What" cause we have for rejoicing, saddened only by the fact that so many of our brave mn f!' on or sickened and died from hardship and exposure and -other" returning bring wounds and disc36 from which they will long suf ' je The memory of the dead will be ' ; precious legacy, and the disabled will be the nation's care. "A nation which cares for its dis- abled soldiers, as we have always done, will never lack defenders. The national cemeteries for those who fell in battle are proof that the dead as - well as the living have our love. What an army of silent sentinels we have, and with what loving care their graves are kept! Every soldier's grave made during our unfortunate civil war is a tribute to American valor. And while when those graves were . made we differed widely about the future of this government, these dif ferences were long ago settled by the arbitrament of arms and the time has now come in the evolution oi sen- Himent and feeling under the provi dence of God. when in the spirit of fraternity we should share with you in the care of the graves of the Uonfeq , erate soldiers. 'The cordial feeling now happily existing between the north and south prompts this gracious act, and if it needed further justification it is found - in the gallant loyalty to the Union and the flag so conspicuously shown in the year just passed by the sons and grand sons of these heroio dead. - "What a glorious future awaitsus if unitedly, wisely and bravely we face the-new problems now pressing upon us, determined to solve them for right and humanity 1" - ' ' When McKinley had concluded there were continuous calls for General Wheeler, and he consented to spent. - , President Dodson introduced the gallant hero of Santiago v by saying he needed no introduction. . General Wheeler said: "GenUemen of the General Assem ' bly of Georgia, and Fellow Citizens: "I appreciate mere than I can ex ' press the honor of being invited to i' accompany his excellency, the presi dent on his tour of the south. I have looked forward with great pleasure to 'meeting old friends of a lifetime. I 3 was glad that the president of the United States had decided to visit our section, to meet our people and see i TcViafc morrpus we are making in the f development of our resources. "THe president, as commander-in x' Vhif of the army and navy of the ' United States, has alluded to the gal lantry of the soldiers and jailors of our army and navy, but it is not known, because of the modesty of the y chief executive, that every effort was exhausted to preserve peace. -Gen. Wheeler .said war was not de clared until it became necessary for the preservation of the conn try s honor. II told -of the order sent to Commo- dore'Dewevto proceed to Manila and capture or destroy the Spanish squad- ron. "In eight days that order was fexe anted " he said. ' "It was the president, as command er-in-chief, who, when troops were as eembled for. the purpose of going on an expedition to Havana, after consul tation with the secretary of war, changed the plans and decided on the expedition to Santiago. "The army in conjunction with the navy was ordered to attack and destroy the Spanish forces at Santiago. In four weeks that order was obeyed and its purposes accomplished. The proud Spanish nation stood suing peace from the nation which a. month before it had held np to ridicule and scorn. "I have to thank hira for giving me an opportunity to fchare iu the glories won by soldiers who came from nearly every state in the union. I thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for giving me an opportunity to address you." General Young was next presented. He said he was clad to be in Georgia. ! and referred in high terms to the con I ditions of the camps of his corps in this state. ; He said the criticism of the army camps had not come from the south. General Lawton .was then intro duced by President Dodson. - He said: f "I thank you in the name of the men I had the honor to command at Santiago for the honor you have done mo in calling on me to speak." The joint session was then dissolved. President McKinley and General Wheeler stood by the clerk's desk and shook nands with the legislators and several thousand visitors. At 2 o'clock the presidential party loft the house for-the public reception in the main corridor! Such an ovation as that given Pres ident McKinley by the legislature and the public was never before ten dered to an American at the capitol. The crowd and it numbered several thousand that gained admission into the building yelled itself hoarse; After the reception at the capitol the president and party were driven out Peachtree street to the reviewing stand to witness the floral parade. This part of the program was inaugu rated by the ladies and was a beauti ful and interesting sight. - Wednesday night Mr. and Mrs. Mo- Kinley a4 the gentlemen and ladies of thefc"abinet, the visiting officers of the army and naTryMind the represen tfttivesfbf'the press of the north and rwest wefts tempered' a brilliant recep- uonvttttne uapital jUity (Jlub. worjreous rag-cant.

J Throughout the entire line of marcn a mass of people thronged the streets and as the divisions passed in review a cheer was given one that was loud and long. ' The crowd was a demonstrative one and showed its appreciation of the presence of the visitors who took part in the procession. The parade itself required an hour to pass a given point and the gait which the Pennsylvania and New Jersey soldiers kept up was a rapid military stride, space was cov ered at almost a trot. The success of the parade from the point of size, magnificence and inter est ' was beyond doubt the greatest that Atlanta has ever had. At the Auditorium; President McKinley received at the auditorium at Piedmont park a stir ring, prolonged ovation from the great multitude who heard the eloquent and prophetic words of the chief executive. Speaking to the people of the south, the president outlined definitely the policy of the government with refer ence to the newly 'acquired territory, and paid a glowing tribute to the south for the part it had taken in the war. With hand uplifted and voice vibrating with emotion, he said: "That flag has been planted in two hemispheres and there it remains the symbol of liberty and law, of peace and progress. Who will with draw from the people over whom it floats its I protecting folds? Will the people of the south help to haul it down?" i . The scene in the auditorium at these words from the president was bewilder ing. The big audience frantically came to its feet with a common im pulse, amid wild but genuine applause and cheers that rent the air. Cries of "No! No!"" swelled from a thousand throats, while the members of the cab inet and distinguished guests on the stand urged the audience to renewed and deafening applause. The address throughout breathed of conciliation and fraternal union be tween the north and the south, and again, as in tne snort address before the Georgia legislature Wednesday afternoon, the broad and patriotic ex pressions of the president met with strong sympathy from all present. The Banquet. The jubilee ceremonies were closed Thursday night with "a brilliant ban quet tendered to the president and his party. Three hundred Atlantiaus and visitors sat down to the dinner at the Kimball House. The picture pre sented in the great dining hall of the hotel was one long to be remembered. Surrounding an oval table at the head of the dining room sat the president of the United States, the governor of Georgia, several members of the presi dent's cabinet and a number of Dis tinguished visitors from different parta of the country. The president made a notable speech. It overflowed with that fraternal spirit which he had shown all during his stay. He was exceedingly gracious in his remarks about Atlanta and he brought his audience to their feet time SALISBURY. and again. At least half a dozen times did his hearers spring up impulsively and cheer and wave napkins in in dorsement of his expressions. Some- I A . ' m iimes me nan was a mass oi waving linen.

FOIiKlUNilUS AITEUOUli DOLLIES Proposition For Bis Loan Paid to Bsts Been Made By Russia. ; James H. Eckels, president of the Commercial National bank, of Chica go, said Saturday: "I am credibly informed that a ireat foreign power has sent repre sentatives to the United States and that they are now in New York for the purpose of negotiating a loan of im mense proportions. If the source of my information is reliable it is the iirst case in the history of the United States of a foreign power borrowing here." " The Chicago Daily News declares Eckels' statement may startle the gen eral public, but says in the financial world the report will cause no aston ishment, although the action will be unprecedented in tho monetary history of the country. For two months, The News contin ues, money has been the cheapest thing in America, as financiers phrase it.

On the first of the year corporations will distribute about $100,000,000 in interest and dividends. Besides, ex ports are increasing rapidly, while im ports are decreasing quite as speedily. The latest figures tell that the exports of merchandise from this country ex ceed those of Great Britain for the first lime in the history of the two countries. The United States is in the unique position of desiring to bny the American stocks and bonds that are held abroad. The national treasurer states that for the current month money in circu lation has increased $20,303, 722.

Swiftly Knnninsr Trnin Bump Orer Cross ties on a High Trestle. A wreck occurred on the Indiana, Decatur and Western railroad Sunday morning, fifty miles west of Indian apolis, near Gnion station. The In dianapolis express, east bound, left the tracks west of a high trestle, and passed over the trestle, which is sixty feet long, with seven coaches off the rails and bumping along the ties. The trestle is fifty feet high and it is considered phenomenal that the train was not -hurled off into the crek, in which event the slaughter of life would have been awful. The rear car bad just left the trestle when a spreading of the rails ahead of the baggage car piled the seven cars into SNS ' "ft 1 a neap, ine Daggage car ana smoxer were ground almost into splinters and all of the cars were badly wrecked. There were about fifty passengers on the train. One man was killed and about a dozen more or less injured. BRAINED BY C It AZT SISTER.

The Georgia Hussars acted as an escort to the party to the parade grounds, where a review of some fourteen thousand troops encamped about Savannah, un der command of Major General Warren Keifer, was held. r The streets from the depot to the parade grounds were one mass of peo ple., : The principal feature of the passage through the streets was the great re ception tendered General Joe Wheeler. The doughty 'little- general was kept standing in his carriage almost the entire length of the drive bowing his acknowledgments to the plaudits of 'the crowd. ' " ,- After the review there was a trip down the river on the pilot boat J. H. Estell, and at night there was a grand banaaet at the DeSoto hotel at which the president and members of the cab inet made speeches. ; Notwithstanding Sunday was sup posed to be a day of rest with the residential rjarty. it was, as a matter of fact, filled with interest and activ itv. The feature of the day was the president's visit to the Georgia Agri cultural and Mechanical college, the institution" for colored persons, sup corted by the Mate of Georgia. Its president, B. R. Wright, colored, was recently appointed by President Mo Kinley a paymaster in the volunteer army, with the rank of major, but has rpaiffnad and returned to the school. There were no elaborate exercises con- nected with the visit of the president to the college. MERRITT BETURXS. inrl Comes Home Brlnclne Bride and Mother-ia-Law.

' " A Washington special says: South ern congressmen, with one accord, commend in the mont friendly terms the suggestion made by the president at Atlanta Wednesday relative to na tional aid' in ; caring for the graves of the southern heroes who gave up their lives in' the war between the states. It is probable that a bill to carry out the president's suggestion will be in troduced in the house at an early day. It is generally conceded that such a measure should emanate from the re publican sidof the house. It is also proposed i) amend the act which des ignates the 30th of May as the Na tional Decoration Day, so that union and confederate graves may be strewn with flowers, accompanied by appro priate ceremonies, on the same day. Georgia and South Carolina con gressmen were especially friendly in alluding to. what they termed a magna nimater on the part of the president J" udge Maddox remarked, with a dis play of enthusiasm not often indulged in by him: "President McKinley is the best republican I know. It was a gracious act on his part and I am not surprised that the sentiments he expressed in Atlanta yesterday touch ed the hearts of the southern people. I can well understand the military patriotism which fills the 'president and he was -exceedingly happy in se lecting the rights time and place to give voice to such expressions as he gave utterance to." Colonel Lester applauded the presi dent's action by saying: "President McKinley has such a nice way of do ing nice things that I am, not sur prised at the sentiments he expressed yesterday concerning the confederate dead." .. ,v , Colonel Livingston, Representatives Tate, Bartlett, Griggs, Lewis, Brant ley and Fleming also Senators Bacon and Clay, all Georgians, expressed their warm approval of the suggestion TrtQrta rir kaaii7 am4 Representative Stokes, oi IH t II v ouerhly proves to the ceopie ox tne south the goodwill and leiyawsnip oi our brothers in the north. I think it " i 'J- . . . . m rr-na a. ttt ftTmrmiriftte thin 2 for the J IT L X I occasion: and that it will e highly commended by the people throughout the southern states. If this matter be brought to the notice of the house for approval and an appropriation, as it most assuredly will, it will undoubt edly be done by a member from 'tne north, either a republican or a oemo crat, though it "would be pref erable for a republican to propose the matter, a republican president having been the originator and introducer oi it.

SPAIN WILL DELAY R5TIFICJTI0H OppoilUon of Solons In TTashlnftoa to tne Treaty Is Rapidly Fad ing Away. r A Paria special says: The entire American peace commission left for the Uhited States via. Havre and Southampton Tfiuraday night, and will sail for New--York on board the American Line steamer St Louis. It is learned that Agoncillo, the representative of Aguinaldo, the Phil ippine leader, has lodged a strongly worded protest' with the commission; which thus becomes part of the re cords. It begins with saying that "The very noble and gallant General Aguinaldo, president of the Philip pine; republic," had honored 'him with "the post of official representa- -tive to the very honorable presidint of the United States." Agoncillo then reviews the case at length, saying that at' the time of "imploring the armed co-operation of Aguinaldo and other Philippine chiefs," both the commander of the Petrel, Captain Wood, in Hong Kong, before the declaration of war, and the American consuls general, Pratt, in Singapore, Wildman, at Hong Kong, and Williamat Cavite, acting as the international agents of the great Ameri- ' can nation, at a moment of great anxiety, offered to recognize the inde pendence of the Filipino nation. Spaniards Delay Ratification. A semi-official note issued at Madrid Thursday says: :: y "As the American senate must rati-. fy the treaty of peace before1 it be comes effective, our government should wait for this ratification and not has ten to cede territory which the United States may not accept." Opposition Subsiding. V A Washington special says: It looks now as if the opposition to the ratifi cation of the peace' treaty which was expected in the senate will evaporate before the matter comes up for dis cussion. That it will be made the JLnh,imi .lm M V- ot any force will be made to defeat the treaty." is possible that there may be no vote against ratmcauon, iue uuuer standing being the settlement of the question of "expansion will not be in volved in the treaty. This situation is Jikely to be brought about by many considerations, but chiefly by the fact that Mr. Bryan advises his' friends against making a fight on the treaty. " v The fact that ia the south a celebra tion of the signing of the treaty is be ing held, which is being made the oc casion of the loftiest patriotism; also contributes greatly to the stifling of the opposition to the treaty. y The op-, position in the senate comes chiefly -. ; from .supporters of Mr. Bryan, largely southern men. A canvass of the senate discloses that up , to a few' days ago there was nearly or guite a two-thirds vote in favor of the .ratifl-, cation and that the opposition put of. the republicans was confined prob- ably not more than three men, .s j The most determined opponents 'were men who were closest to Mr. Bryan of all in congress. It is under stood that the presentation of the case in favor of ratification made by Mr. Bryan, who at the same time, urges tocrether with the demonstration of joy in the souh over i uv siKutuK - nw v rr - - impression upon thie opposition.
