May 12. -With a I spirited, ami at time stormy session, 'the ninth annual reunion of the United : Confederate Veterans was today brought jlo a close. Genera! John H. Gordon, j commander In chief, and all the old offi cers, were re-elected; Louisville, Ky., ! was chosen as the) next place of meeting jand the question of Federal o:iro of the j Confederate graves was disposed of by 'the adoption of a substitute resolution j w hich declines the president's suggestion, 'except us lo those graves located In the. north nnd reserving to the women of tho south the duty of caring for those In the seceillng states nd Maryland. The adoption of this resolution,' and the report which accompanied It, precip itated a debate which verged on tho sen stiiloiial and at times much confusion nnd disorder prevailed. General Stephen D. Lee. presented a report of the committee on history which was unanimously adopted. The report says: "President MoKlnley displayed th. spirit of the American soldier when he chose from his former (om the gallunt Wheeler, the steadfast Fllxhugh Lee. th-? chivalrous Rutler and many others o: our lirav r mrad'-s, lo marsh.il th. h-ists of tho L'nlon, W are glad that Onral W h-'ler had another opportunity lo'exhIMt the fight lug ftialltl. of the Confederal, soldiers, and that Lieutenant Jlobson.

"Onr mro the blood of the north and south haa been poured out together no longer beneath contending standards In th bitterness of war between states, but no beneath one (lag, to toe glory of on. country. These dead, at least, be Ion to us all, The last hateful memory that eoul l divide our country 1. burled with them. About th'lr graves kneels a new nation, loving all her children every where the sam.. Aludlng lo the question of the cf'nfjd. rat graves the report says: "The recent generous words of Presi dent McKlnley, commending the C'onfed. irate dead to Ihe nation's cure, are ex. Irrl'ns of the sentiment growing every where, that Ih. de-ds of the Confederate soldlera are the glory of the wtwle country and (hat his memory Is wonhy to b cherished when-ver self .sacrlfl- eommands sympai!iy or brave a'tlons strike a responsive chord In nol.l. hearts."

Grannan stuck to SI.-- throughout the day and must have lost a fair-six.':, sum on l oci s losing mounts, sumo esuniaie his losses In the latter part of the after. noon at about tTS.ODO and Charles Dwyers' at SiVcm Grannan Is believed to have won more than fc.1W.iHiO on (he first three races, so he doubtless won about J125.000 on the day. The manner In which Grannan bets tab. Ions sums literally on the turning of a hair and never betrays the least excite, ment or nervousness Is puixllng (o the average Hrttlsh turf follower. lXH'TOU KKIGGS WILL HE ORDAINED TOMORROW. lllshop Potter Gives Out the Announce, nienl and Sottles Further Doubt on the Question.

It is understood, however, that Admiral IH-wey will elect to return to New Yorii. Very respectfully, "JOHN D. LONG, Secretary." DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO STRIKES HONDO COAL MINES.
