WIAE3 A CONFEDERATE BADGE. In m Welcomlnp; Speech Commander Wiley IIoh That In the Future Les Ulatloa or TbW C ouutry the LItIoc Confederatei. AVI1I Ilo Itomem bered. Macon. Oa Dic. 10. The president and hla party rearhed Macon promptly on time, and vro recrtved by the largent crowd which has gathered In Macon since the laht visit of Jeffer son Davis to this city. At the station was a reception committee consisting of a number of the most prominent cltlsens of the town. Drawn up In frr.nt of thu elation was the Bibb County camp of the Confeder ate Survivors' association, 400 strong, headed by Commander C. M. Wiley. As the president reached the old Con federates he was halted by Colonel Wiley, who addressed him as follows: "Mr. President: As commander of the Itlbb County Veterans' association and Iiibb County camp No. 484, we ex tend to you and your party a most gen erous, hearty and sincere welcome to our beloved city. You, sir, have en deared yourself to the heart of all Con federate soldiers on account of tbe noble sentiments expressed by you In regard to our Confederate dead. I as sure that thi-w old, maimed and Infirm veterans who have ni-t here to do you honor today appreciate such words of love and kindness, and uttered, too, by the president of this great country and by one who was a member of the Union army In the rixtles. I hope and pray, Mr. Tresldtnt. that God. In his lnflnlt. mercy, may so direct the future legis lation of thin country that the living; Confederates will be remembered. This country and the Stars and Stripes be long as much to the Confederate vet erans as U does to the Grand Army of the Republic. The south proved Its loyalty to this grand old country when war was declared with Spain, and now, henceforth and forever, she will be ready to take up arms to defend our country and our flag. "Mr. President, on behalf of these brave and maimed Confederate sol diers of Bibb county, Ga., I present to you this parchment, on whfc'h Is en grossed In letters of gold the beautiful sentiment expressed by you In our cap ital city la regard to our honored dead." As the president was about to proceed Dr. Roland B. Hall, another veteran, addressed him as follows: My President: In behalf of our noble dead, and aa Confederate vet erans, we are here to manifest our appreciation of the noble and generous sentiment you have recently uttered. Do us the honor, sir, to accept and wear this badge of a Confederate vet erans' association, which bears your likeness and words, which should en dear you te the heart of every Confed erate." "I do ntn know that It will be proper," said the president. "But yea must," said . Dr. Hall, and without further ceremony the presi dent marched ahead with Judge Speer. The sight of the Confederate badge on the president's coat aa he passed through the lines of veterans called forth vociferous cheering. The presi dent wore the badge during his stay In Macon. One of General Whoeler's old caval rymen also pinned a badge to the lapel of his major general's coat, and the doughty little warrior proudly wore It away with him when he left the city. The presidential party was driven In carriages to the stand where the president was to review the troops of General Bates' division of General Wil ton's army corps. After the review n great crowd gath ered about the stand, though a steady, soaking rain was falling. Judge Em ory Ppeer IntrodtK-ed the president, who made one of hln characteristic ad dresses. Th president's remarks were fre quently Interrupted by cheers. Then there were loud calls for General Wheeler. "Utile Old Fighting Joe." as he was affectionately called. He re sponded briefly, and was followed by General Phafter, tJeneral Bates and General Wilson. The latter concluded as follows: "Splendid as the president's work ha been, there still remains greater work for htm to do. It Is work which Justi fies the president In saying we are at last one, and that the Confederate sol dier should receive the same treatment as the federal soldier. I hope to see the day when our starry flag shall float everywhere from the froxen north to the sunny clime of Central America. We are too big and powerful and pro gressive to have neighbors on this con tinent, and I trust that before the next administration of the president closes the flag will fly over every foot of the continent from the northern extremity of the Dominion of Canada to tbe Gulf of Mexico." Terre HuntoN Million Dollar Fire. Terre Haute. Ind., Dec. !0. The worst fire in the history of Terre Haute took place last night, causing a loss of St. 000.000.

New York. Dec 19. Two hundred thousand women, enrolled In societies of the Presbyterian church, are making a fight against Brtgham H. Roberta, representative-elect of Utah, to prevent htm from taking his seat In congress. Mr. Roberta la said to be a polygamlsC His wives are said to number three. The argument of these women Is that polygamy Is unlawful, and that to al- C0NGRES8MAN-ELECT ROBERTS, low Roberts to retain his seat would be equivalent to Indorsing polygamy, besides being In defiance to Christian civilization. Senator George F. Edmunds says In a statement that the national govern ment is powerless to prevent polygum from being made lawful In any state if Its lawmakers so choose to declare It.
