they proceed to fill the vacancies with

resentatives of both branches of the
freight handlers that the tie-up in St.
Louis is complete, and that every rail-
road handling freight is affected.
At present, according to union re-
ports, between 2000 and 8000 men are
directly involved, and the number will
in all probability be increased. Owing
to the strike of freight handlers, ship-
ping business along the Mississippi

New Orleans, May 21,—The actual
business of the Confederate reunion
was brought to an end today and the
delegates adjourned sine die at noon.
General Gordon was re-elected com-
mander in chief and all the depart-
ment commanders. Generals Lee,
Walker and Cabell, were at the same
time chosen to fill for another year
the offices they have held so long. All
the elections were unanimous and
were made by one shout of "aye."
The place of holding the next re-
union was left to the executive com-
mittee. It will be held in Louisville,
Nashville or St. Louis. It is the de-
sire of the officials of the organization
to so arrange matters that a single
railroad rate will allow the delegates
to attend the reunion and visit the
World’s Fair at St. Louis, either going
or coming. In the absence of any defi-
nite agreement with the railroads, the
department commanders asked that
the entire matter be left to the execu-
tive council for a final decision after
consultation with the railroad officials.
Their wish was granted by a unani-
mous vote.

London, May 21.— Lord Roseberry
expressed surprise that his speech at
Burnelay on May 18, in which he dealt
with Colonial Secretary Chamberlain’s
tariff speech delivered at Birmingham
on May 15, has been interpreted as
in any way supporting Mr. Chamber-
lain’s proposal to establish reciprocity
between Great Britain and her colo-
nies and explains that he purposely
treated the subject uncontroverslally
because he was addressing a non-
political audience. Lord Roseberry
adheres absolutely to his opinion that
the liberal party is indissolubly bound
to free trade.
Taylor, Tex., May 21.—A few day*
ago two little sons of Mr. and Mrs. J.
E. Mattock of this city, aged 8 and 8

ing night the dog died of symptoms of

"America." The president joined

On the way to the station the pres-
ident noticed an invalid child lying on

the Bulgarians, whom he prepose* to
deport wholesale, from Macedonia. It is
doubtful, however, if the powers will
permit this. In the meantime Hilmi

Anatolia the Macedonian prisoners
who are suspected of complicity in the
recent events in European Turkey, but
who have not been convicted.
Ball at Night.
The grand ball given in the audito-
rium tonight in honor of the visiting
veterans, their sponsors and maids of
honor, was an affair of exceptional
brilliancy. There were so many prelim-
inaries and they were lengthened to
such, an extent that it was 11 o'clock
before the actual dancing commenced.
The ball was opened by an elaborate
quadrille containing many complicated
measures which necessitated much
marching about the hall. Sixteen griz-
zled veterans In company with sixteen
young ladies, each of whom bore on
the bosom of her dress the blue cross
of the Confederacy, took part in this
portion of the program and the precis-
ion and accuracy of the various evolu-
tions which were all performed to the
airs of "Dixie” and "The Bonnie Blue
Flag” called forth great applause from

ed Into the hall.

The celebration at Agram yester-
day of the anniversary of the defeat
of Jellacichich von Buzim, the former
ban of Crotie, culminated in a fierce
conflict with the police, who attacked
the crowds with sabres, wounding
many persons and making 350 arrests,
including students and women. The
city of Agram is now completely under
military rule.
At Buccari and Meja thousands of
peasants attempted to destroy the
railroad in order to prevent the ar-
rival of troops. When the military
arrived the peasants, pelted them with

troops retaliated by shooting and bay-

territories. This fact is accounted for
by the exceptional richness of the soil,
There are already signs of prosperity
on evry hand and the p ch roeilimssr
on every hand and the promise is rich
for greater growth in the future. The
Dawes commission is giving especial
attention to the enrollment of the In-
dians and the allotment of land to
them, with an honest determination
to complete its labors in 1906, the time
fixed by congress.”
Secretary Hitchcock took positive
ground against the consolidation of
the two territories and ther admission
as one state.
"Such a union at this time and be-
fore the status of the Indians is fixed
as contemplated by law," he said,
"would be unfair to the Indians and
should not be attempted. Certainly
not at this time if at any time. On
the gther hand the people of Okla-
home are entitled to immediate state-
hood and there should be no delay in
the admission of that territory with
its present boundaries. The territory
has the population and the wealth to
make it a first class state from the
outset. Indian Territory has the pop-
ulation and the natural resources to
make a fine state alone some day. The
Indians do not desire the union.”
The Taylor Waterworks.
Special to The Statesman.
Taylor, Tex., May 21.—The water
commission or board of appraisers of
the Taylor waterworks and plant ap-
pointed to assess the valuation of the
property with a view to Its purchase
by the city of Taylor, is in session in
Austin today. The board consists of
three disinterested gentlemen living
outside of Williamson county, namely,
Judge R. U Penn of Austin for the
city of Taylor, Harry Wright of Pal-

and Expert J. W. Maxey of Houston.
The report of this board 59 to be final,
and the taxpayers of Taylor will later
be called upon to vote upon a propo-

All Officers Re-Elected.
The time for the election of officers
having arrived, all the former officers
were elected by acclamation.
Following the election brief ad-
dresses of thanks were made by Gen-
erals Gordon. Lee, Cabell and Irvine.
Addresses were also made by General
Francis T. Michels of Louisiana, Gov-
ernor Frasier of Tennessee, General
George W. Gordon of Memphis and ex-
Governor Robert Lowrv of Mississippi.
Then came General Gordon, who, re-
sponding to repeated calls, came to the
front of the platform and said:
this time the market was compara-
tively quiet, but the closing cables
from Liverpool indicated an utterly
demoralized condition there, the near
month* closing at a decline of 19 1-2
to 22 points, and thia brought about
such * rush of realising in the local
market as has seldom if ever been
witnessed. In five or ten minutes July
sold from 11.10c, the best of the morn-
ing. to 10.80c, a loss since last night '
of 44 points; August sold from 10.810
to 10.82c and September from 9.92c
to 8.75c. Then came a pause and the
market moved uncertain, slight re-
coveries being followed by equally
slight reactions, with prices generally
ruling within 2 or 8 points of the
bottom.
During the afternoon speculation
was much less active but trade sen-
timent continued very nervous and
unsettled, the bulls showing less dis-
position to support the market. There
was continued realising and bear pres-
sure in anticipation that Liverpool
would show less weakness. The prices
were forced down towards the close
to a new level for the day, closing
easy at a net loss of from 27 to 66
points. July closed at 18.70c and
showed a loss of over 82,50 a bale as
compared with last night’s close. May
closed at 11.60c, August at 10.470 and
September at 9.66c.
The total sales of futures were esti-
mated at 1,000,000 bales.
