LONDON , May 22. A dispatch from Florence
enco to the Dally News gives some descrip
tion of the scenes of panic and disorder In
that city th.it accompanied the shocks of
earthquakes on Saturday night. The damage
was widespread and so general that the Dally
I News' correspondent asserts that there Is
hardly a hotuo In the whole city of palaces ,
cathedrals , and repositories of the treasures
of art of all ages that has not puttered. A
performance was In progress In the great
opera house , which seats upward of 2,000 ,
when the first shock was felt. A great rum
bling was heard and the etructuro seemed to
eway and rock to Its foundations. People
Jumped from their seat , a great outcry en
sued , the people being In a state ot the ut
most panic.
Many flej from the theater with the Instinct
to make for the open space which always
takes hold on the crowd In the presence of an
earthquake. The more plucky , however , re
tnalncd , and , assuring each other that the
danger wa paM , resumed their seats , and
the performance was continued. It way stll'
In progress when the second and severer
shock was felt , and the whole audleuce fled t
the narrow streets.
At the hotels , which are frequented by tour
ists , the fright and disorder at the threatened
calamity In a strange land , were even greater
There was a babel of different languages < ind
frantic but vain attempts to secure a hearing
from servants and to make appeals under
stood. Fabulous prices wire offered for con
veyances in which to get away from the city
or to sleep In the streets Many rich Amer
ican and English tourists were the bucccssful
blddcro In the lively competition to secure
omnibuses In which to spend the night. All
kinds of vehicles were cmplojed as sleeping
quarters by the terrified people. It Is calcu-
Idetl that there were 1,000 carriages- used In
this way In Florence during Saturday night
as a refuge for the ladles , who were driven
In them to the open spaces of the city. The
loss fortunate hovered about the carriages
nnd the fountains In the squares. Few who
could help It rcmatncJ Indoors.

honor. He Is an cx-lleutenant general cf
the confederate army , Unltsd States senator
from Georgia for over half a score of years
and twice governor of the state.
A steady rain began falling at daylight ,
wlht a cold wind , and poured down steady all
morning , disarranging many events In the
program. The street pirade In honor of Miss
Winnie Davis was postponed until tomorrow
morning. It was 11 o'clock when Colonel
W. D. Cleveland opjned the first business
esslon of the meeting and introduced Gen
ral Charles Culberson. who In glowing words
elcomed the veterans to Texas. The mayor ,
ohn T. Brown , followed , extending the hosp1
allty of Houston General John B. Gordon
cplled to the addresses of welcome on behalf
f the United Confederate Veterans.
There vfere 8,000 people in the auditorium
ml as many outside unable to obtain ad
nlttance. The Jam was terrldc. When
General Gordon rose to speak , the band
truck up "Dixie , " but Us strains could
lot be heard , so great was the din raised
ay the vocal demonstration given the ex
hleftaln General Gordon , when quiet had
bsen partially restored , delivered his ad-
Iress : "What higher tribute could be paid
o this great people than to say that their
lospitallty is worthy of Texas ? " he asked.
Around the name and history of Texas are

THHEU HE.MAHKABLR ACHIEVEMENTS
'The assemblage of these war-scarred vet-
e-ans In this war-scarred state leads me to
jll three rema k ble ichlevements by these
ex-confederates In peace which Impartial his
tory will pronounce a fitting climax to their
splendid record In war. The first Is the re
construction , malnlj through your Instrumen
tality , of the labor system of our entire , sec
tion You returned from a long , exhausting
ind unsuccessful struggle to find the agricul
tural labor of > our states not only disorgan
ized , but as a system ( to the management
and control of which you were born and
tralneJ ) it was utterly destroyed Yet you
heroically undertook the task of Us reorgani
zation under a new system and of adapting
your service to that new order. The success
of jour efforts Is the noblest commentary
upon your wisdom and Justice. The second
Is jour astounding success In securing In spite
of the radical revolution In the conditions
around > ou , and In so short a pcrlol , financial
Independence for jour families and Industrial
prosperity for jour section You returned
from the war poor , tent > of thousands of you
penniless , many ihot and nnlmed , and jet
bravely and unc mplalnlngly , by Idborlng with
aid from no souice save from God ami youi
own self-reliant manhood , you have fought
your way to competence , provided for jour
dl able ! comrades , until scarcely a confeder
ate soldier can be found deprived of the com
forts of life. At the same time jour com
bined efforts have carried these southern
states to a height of material advancement
from which you may now calmly look back
over a land which but thirty years ago was a
wide waste of desolation and ashes , and
around jou over a country now happy In Its
rebuilt homes and redeemed farm ? , radiant In
the light of Industrial icsurrectlon , of assure !
prosperity and enduring material Independ
ence.
"The third achievement Is the passionless ,
unostentatious and peaceful manner In which
you laid aside the trappings and discipline
of the camp for the modest garb of the citi
zens and silent restraints of civil govern
ment.
"Go forward , my comrades , and by self-
denial , by wise economy and well-directed
energy , continue the material development
of this heaven-blessed section. Go forward In
, the cultivation of a national fraternity , giv
ing no heed to Imprudent or thoughtless
efforts to stimulate sectional animosities In
any quarter. Be assured , my confederate
, comrades , that the overwhelming majority
of the Grand Army of the Republic , com
posed of soldiers who were brave In battle
and are generous in peace , courageous ,
, knightly and true , bear toward you neither
lingering bitterness nor sentiment of dis
, trust. "
SOME HEMAHKABLE STATEMENTS.
At the conclusion of General Gordon's art-
dress committees were appointed and then
General S. D. Lee , as chairman of the his
torical committee , read his report , which ,
among other things , says : "The true cause
of the war between the states was the digni
fied withdrawal of the southern states from
the union to avoid the continued breaches of
that domestic tranqulllty guaranteed , but not
consummated , by the constitution , and not
the high moral purpose ) of the north to de
stroy slavery , which followed Incidentally
after as a war measure.
"As to the war itself and the results of
the war , the children of the future would bo
astonished that a people fought so hard and
so long with so little to fight for. judging
from what they gather from histories now In
use , prepared by writers from the north.
They are utterly dsstltute of Information as
to events leading up to the war. Their ac
counts of the numbers engaged , courage dis
played , sacrifices endured , hardships en
countered and barbarity practlcid upon an
almost defenseless people , whose arms-bear
ing population was in the army , are Incor
rect In every way.
"A people who for four long jears fought
over almost every foot of their terrltorj1 , on
over 2,000 battlefields , with the odds o (
2.S01.272 enlisted men against their 000,000
enlisted men and their coarts blockaded and
rlvera filled with gunboats , with COO veisels
of war manned by 35,000 sailors , and who
protracted the struggle until over half their
soldiers were dead from the casualties of
war , had something to fight for. They fought
for the great principle of locil self-govern
ment and the privilege of managing their
own affairs and for the protection of their
homes and fireside ? .
"While the south would detract not an
iota from the patriotic motive and endeavor
of these opposing them , she Intends that tlis
truth of history .shall be written by a sym
pathetic and friendly pen. to give her credit
for what our ancestors did and for what
was done by the south In the war between
the states ; also to chronicle the results cf
that war and Its effects upon the south and
upon our common country.
BOYCOTT UNFAIR BOOKS.
"We cinnot too strongly urge upon our
people the great Importance of avoiding as
far as posilble the purchasing and dis
seminating of books and literature which are
unkind and ufalr to the south , which be
little our achievements , Impugn our motive
and malign the character of our Illustrious
leaders ,
"fa conclusion , we would respectfully
recommend that Dr. J. L. McCurry , the
patriot , statesman , philosopher and educator ,
be Invited to deliver an address at our next
annual reunion on the subject of slavery ,
nullification and secession , with special refer
ence to the attltudes\of the people north
and routh to these leading- questions of
American history. "
At the conclusion of jhls report so great
was the din that adjournment was taken
until 7 30 p. m. , when Miss Winnie Davis ,
the "Daughter of the Confederacy , " was In- ,
troduccd. A wild shout went up that fairly
made the enormous building tremble. Hats
were flying In the air , gra"y-halrcd men were
cheering and yelling , completely drowning the
music made by the band , which WRS playing
the "Bonnie Blue Flag. " It had been In
tended Miss Davis should greet each veteran
by a handshake , but the masses of old vet
erans were so overcome with enthusiasm
that a wild rush wag made for the place
where Miss Davis stocd , and In an Instant
phe was surrounded by a miss of men , all
pushing pell mell to gntsp her hand.
Realizing the ganger of a crush like this ,
Governor Lowry and several others extri
cated Miss Davis from the crush and placed
her where she could be seen by all and bow
her acknowledgements A great shout greeted
her appearance , drowning her utterances , but
demonstrating that the children of Jeff Divls
are dear to those who fcr four years followed
the stars and bars. Soon afterward Miss
Davis was driven to the residence of Judge
Masterson.
About 5,000 veterans were In the audl-
orlum when the convention was rapped to
irder for the night session. The committee
n credentials reported and after this the
ght began over the constitution. At Blr-
lingham , Ala. , last year a pew constitution
, vas adopted , but there was co much dlssatls-
'fittlon that the commandeNln-chlef set the
nstrument aside and made the old document
ffcctive. It was soon seen tonight that a
icvv constitution was demanded and those
'avorlng ' the continuance of the old constitu
tor ! were defeated. A committee was ap-
lolnted to draw up the constitution. The
nt I re time of the session was taken up In
discussing this report.
General Schodeld was confined to his hotel
all day on account of bad weather and was
given receptions both morning and evening ,

and will return home Via St , Louis.

DENVEH , May 22 , Congressman John F
Shafroth , republican , who has just returned
from Salt Lake City , where he attended the
silver conference as a delegate from Colorado ,
says If the democrats put a free silver candi
date In the field for president and the re
publican party does not it will be the duty
of the republicans of this state to support the
democratic nominee unanimously and
heartily.
"The democracy Is a great national party , "
he added , "and has a .foothold over the
country that a new pirty vtould not have , and
by working jointly the republicans and demo
crats of the vvest would have a great chance
of carrying the day for ( heir candidate. I
believe in giving my own political party the
first opportunity to keep us In the fold , but It
It docs not come out In Its platform for free
silver plainly and unmistakably , and with no
loophole left to crawl out of the position , then
I am going to leave the party and vote for
the candidate , no matter what his politics
may be , who supports and carries out the
free silver principles. For these reasons I
would have the delegates to national con
ventions definitely Instructed so that should
the national conventions refuse to champion
sliver the delegations could leave the con
ventions honorably and afterward unite upon
their own candidate. Let the cast and the
doubtful states construe It as a threat If they
choose ; I believe they should be made to

rnlllifnl Catholic * Urgoil to U o Their licit
Kftorti to Accomplish Clirlntliiu
Unity In I'urt in Wt-ll n
In
WASHINGTON. May 22. Mgr. Satolll. the
papal ablegate , has recel\ed a copy of a brief
encyclical recently Issued by the pope on the
subject of the union of Christendom. It Is
addressed to all Catholics and Is supplemental
to and follows In the same line as the ency
clical on the same subject made about a month
ago. The following Is a translation :
"Most worthily , certainly , of the watchful
love of a mother Is the prayer which the
church never ceases to offer to God , that
wherever Christian people exist there should
be ono faith of mind and holiness of action.
In llko manner we , who , as we represent the
person of the divine power In the world , also
strive to carry out His intention , have never
failed to nourish among Catholics that desire
for union , and even now we are moro strenu
ously urging It on thcvo whom the church for
so long a time and with so great earnestness
has boon calling back to her fold. The source
from whence wo are eppeclally to expect as
sistance and success for1 these designs and
*
plansof ours Is not hard to discern anJ grows
moro evident dny by day. It Is none other
than the Father of Mercies whom we rightly
Invoke , and to whom It pertains to Illuminate
our minds and graciously turn our wills to the
ay of salvation.
"Catholics surely cannot fall to see how
grave and Important Is the work we ha\o un-
lertaken On It depends the eternal salvation
3f many , together with the spread of divine
loner and the plory of the Christian name.
IVlilch things , If they slncerelj and piously
consider , they will surely feel In their eoula
a stronger burning of that dl\lne charity ,
i\hlch , with God's grace , shrinks from no
labor , leaves untried no means for the good
3f their brethren And so it will happen that
hey will eagerly , as we so ardently desire ,
not only add to our confidence in a happy ro
suit , but will gl\e us all the assistance they
can , and especially that which humble and
lioly prayer" can obtain from God.
SEASON IS KITTING.
'No ' seasxm could be moro fittingly appro-
p-late for this work of piety than that long
ago the apostles , after our Lord's ascension
nto hraven , remained together , 'persevering
n prajcr , ' with Mary , the mother of Jesti' .
awaiting the promised 'lower on high , ' and
all the gifts and graces. In that august cena-
clo and that mystery of the coming of the
paraclete , the church , which , conceived by
Christ , was born at Ills death , by the coming
as it were of the divine breath , began happily
icr great work of bringing all nations Into the
unity of faith and the newness of Christian
"Ife Rich and abundant fruits followed in a
-short time , among which that perfect union
of wills never too often set before us for Imi
tation. In the multitude of the faithful there
was but one heart and but ono soul
"For this reason wo have thought It well ,
by our exhortation and call , to excite the
piety of Catholics that they may , following
the example of the Virgin Mary and of the
holy apostles during the nine days preceding
the sacred feast of Pentecost , pray God with
one mind and with special fer\or , renewing
and repeating the petition , 'Send forth the
pplrlt and they shall bo created , and thou
shalt renew the face of the earth. '
"Tho greatest and richest blessings may
Justly b3 hoped from him who is the Eplrl
of truth , who has spoken the secrets of Got
In the sacred scriptures and who strength
encd the church by his perpetual presence
from whom the lo\lng fount of holiness re
generates souls , made sons of God by adop
tlon , are In a wonderful way strengthened
and perfected. For by the multiform grace
of the spirit there come to them In perpetual
bounty divine light and favor , health and
strength , solace and rest , the desire of soak
ing all good and a frultfulness of holy works
"Finally , the same holy tplrlt so acts by
his power In the church that , as Christ Is
the head of this mystic body , the holj
spirit may appropriately be termed Its heart ,
as St. Thomas says 'the heart has a certain
hidden Influence , and therefore' ' the holy
spirit is compared to the heart , elncc he In
visibly vivifies and unites the church. '
UNITCD IN FACT.
"Since then the holy spirit Is , above all
things , charity , and to him especially are
attributed the works of love , It Is greatly to
bo hoped that through him the spirit of error
and wickedness being put down , greater and
btronger harmony and union of mind will
prevail as they should among the children of
the church , who , according to the admonition
of the apostle , should do nothing to stifle ,
should think the sams things , and , united ,
should have the same charity , and so per
fecting our Joy , may they form one strong
and flourishing body , not In name only , but
In fact. From this example of Christian har
mony among Catholics themselves , from this
piety In praying the divine paraclete , Is es
pecially to ba hoped the reconciliation of
our separated brethren , for which we do
earnestly labor , so they may come to feel
the same In thcmsehcs as In Christ Jesus ,
and , being at last united with us In faith
and hops , may be Joined with us also In the
bonds of charity.
"And now , besides the blessings which the
faithful who respond cheerfully to our call
will certainly and abundantly receive from
God for such an actlUty of piety and fra
ternal love , it has pleased us to add and be
stow the reward of sacred Indulgences from i
the treasure of the church. Therefore to all I
who for nine consecutive days before the
Pentecost either publicly or privately recite
from some special prayers to the holy spirit
we grant on each of thsse days an Indulgence
of seven years and several quarantines and
a plenary Indulgence on any of these days , oren
on the feast of Pentecost Itself , or any day
of the following octav ; , provided , having con
fessed their sins and having received ab
solution and holy communion , they pray God ,
according to the Intention which wo have
above expressesd. We further grant that
those who desire to repeat for the eight
days following Pentecost , the same conditions
may again gain both of the above mentioned
Indulgences , these Indulgences may be ap
plied to the souls In purgatory , and by our
authority wo d cree and order that they shall
be available each year for the future , those
things being observed which are required by
law or custom.
