Dallas, Texas, April 23. The confed erate veterans assembled in reunion here today and transacted important business with a rush. Generals Gordon, J Lee and Cabell were re-elected and General C I. "Walker elected to suc ceed the late General Wade Hampton as commander of the Army of Northern Virginia. New Orleans was selected as the place for the next re-union. r General Gordon was given no chance to retire. A voice from the back of the hall cried: "The only way you can get away form the office, general, is by dy ing." The elections were unanimous by a standing vote. Glowing tributes were paid to the officers and hair the audi ence was in tears when the meeting ad journed. Long before the meeting opened the camp grounds began to fill up and by 11 o'clock the largest crowd of the re union was present. The bureau of in formation gave out a statement saying that lodging for 140,000 people had been prepared. The estimated number of vet erans present was 12,000. General Gordon called the convention to order at 10:45 o'clock and memorial services for the late Genet al Wade Hampton began. Chaplain General Jones delivered the invocation and Gen eral Lee followed with an eulogy of the lamented southern warrior and states man. From General Hampton the speaker had received commission as a lieutenant, a lieutenant colonel and col onel of artillery. His associations with the famous soldier Lad been intimate and there wTere tears in his eyes as he spoke of Hampton's recent death. General Gordon spoke briefly of the dead soldier "With his death." said the general, " a great light went out. No, did I say the light went out? The light of such a life can never go out, but will burn forever, a iight to guide our root- steps to the highest pinnacle of glory." "Nearer, My God To Thee," was then sung by the audience, following which eulogistic resolutions for General Hampton were adopted. "Old Tige" Cabell was called for and added his tribute while his eyes were filled with tears- "Private" John Allen, of Mississippi, who was 'to have been the orator of the day yesterday, was next introduced. He said he could not be an orator without a windmill, and that his windmill had blown down and he Lad stayed at home to fix it- Then for an hour the witty Mississipian kept his hearers in a high state of enjoyment v ith anecdote after anecdote. He was nearly exhausted when he concluded, but the cries of "Allen were so strenuous that he was compelled to return and say a few more words. In concluding his cpeech, Mr. Allen said: "It was not the flash of the gen eral's sword that struck terror to the -Yankees' heart. It was the rebel yel and the crack of the privates' rifles They were the men who kept the Yan kees off the generals while tney slept They fought not for conquest, nor for ambition, but for principles .and senti ment. backed by the bravest, truest wo men that ever lived. God bless our country from sea to sea." General Gordon then announced that the "hour had come for the memorial services for the confederate dead. He mentioned especially the name of "Winnie Davis, the Daughter of the Confederacy." Chaplain General J. "William Jones was announced as the speaker. General Stephen D. Lee delivered a stirring appeal for the decoration of confederate soldiers' graves by the gov ernment. Chairman J- Taylor Stratton, of the resolution committee, reported.

The resolution called forth an eloquent tribute to southern womanhood. The report of the historical commit tee headed by General Lee, was adopt ed. It recommends: 1. The compilation of materia that will help the historian and the student to understand the civil war, its course and its results. 2. The preparation of a source book for collateral, use and reference In schools and libraries. 3. The preparation of brief biograph ies and school histories that will do Justice to southern leadership south- em character, southern environment and southern development. A proposition to change the confed erate memorial day to June 3rd, the birthday of Jefferson Davis, precipitat ed considerable debate. The present plan which was fixed upon by southern women and which gives the states the right to set their own date had many supporters. The resolutions 1 were amended to fix June 3rd. but to allow any state desiring a different date to take individual action, and m this form was passed. The credentials committee reported that 70 camps had paid their per I capita tax and were entitled to 2,232 1 r I 3 ,1 n,v.s!iiht votes. camps were reported in arrears. The report of the Davis monument committee showed slow progress, it was stated that there was $35,000 on hand an that J4.0.000 more was need ed.

J., April 23.-Strikins dye helpers today stormed the estab lishments that were still running and by force compelled a complete suspen sion of business in their trade, being engaged in a series of running fights with the police and plant managers and in one of the severest clashes ex changed a volley of pistol shots with them. The ra-Jicals among the strik ers were in command. Mnv nersons on either side were severely injured during the rioting, but none dangerously so. It was beiievea for a time that it would be necessary tn ask the state for troops to restore order and insure protection to life and nronerty. but the police expressed con fidence in their ability to handle the citnntinn and HO reauest for outside nid was made. Judge Dixon called the grand jury and chartred them to indict the per- iruiltv of rioting. The disorder began early in the day and was unex netted. A meeting was held at S o'clock which formulated the demands of the strikers While the meeting was in progress hundreds of strikers stood outside the hall angrily discussing their griev ances. The radicals urged a raid on the works still in operation, and, when their suggestion was approved, headed a rush for the plant of Johnson, cow- din & Co. The men who worked there were called out, and the strikers mnvod on to the establisnment or James Simpson & Co. That firm, fear intr trouble, dismissed the men ana closed its doors. Robert Gaede s works were visited next, and after that the Belford mill, where the first serious disorder occur red, was surrounded. The property Is walled in but the strikers gained tne yard before the gates were shut. "Win dows were smashed, chemicals spilled urifl eonsiderabl? damatre done. The men at work in the plant quickly quit ted their places. While one mob was attacking the Balford, another was surging into the plant of the Ainerican dyeing and Fin lshine Company. Armed with the dye sticks and stones they charged tnrougn the plant, driving the men from their daces. Geonre Arnold, one of the members of the firm was dropped in sensible with a blow on the head from a dye stick. Almost simultaneously an attack was begun on the -.vorks oi Emil Gering & Co.. in the fight for possession or wnicn the shooting occurred. The policemen were guarding the place and when the mob came rushing down on them they warned those in the van to keep away. Sme one in the crowd discharged a revolver and the police quickly return ed the fire. Half a dozen shots were fired and one striker, who escaped unidentl fied. was shot in the leg. The mob stoned the two policemen, and, when one of tile latter arrested one of the leaders, closed In around him. The of fleers swung their clubs and beat their wav out of the crowd. A striker en- jrafred Mr. Geering, but was beaten off. One of the patrolmen finally secured a rifle and when he came out and fared the cmvl with it there was a general scattering. From Geering? the strikers hurried away toward the property of Knip scher & Maas. but that raid was checked by a squad of police, me latter formed u cross the street and, marching forward with night sticks drawn, forced the crowd back. Gerald MIstelll. a young striker, hurled a rocK at the police and was placed under ar- rest. The crowd tried to rescue him and to the number of several hundred followed the officers to the prison, hooting at them as they trailed along. The strikers met at Riverside again, at 4 o'clock In the afternoon to receive the reports of the several shop com mittees. Nearly every one of the latter reported that their particular shop would agree to the wago concessions demanded if all the other shops would. The conservative leaders strongly ad vised the strikers to avoid violence and disavowed the attacks - made on the mills during the morning.

The crowd was by far the largest the city has ever entertained.

The decorations, by reason of the splendid weather of lte were as bright as on the first day. All the available police were kept I busy trying to keep the crowd off the I streets, but with ill success. The! throng was far too large to admit of control by any ordinary force. The spectators were for the most part or derly and many were forced into thej Street by pressure behind them on the side walk. The start was made at Main and Austin streets at 11 o'colck. Major r r W 1 A 1 . General Van Zandt. marshal of the day, and staff, preceded by mounted po lice to clear the way, led the parade. Following him came General Gordon and staff.

Near the head of the line came the hornet's nests pinned to their breasts or hanging from poles. In this division was the old flag of the Third North Carolina cavalry. The old emblem was in sherds but was carreid with all the more pride for its wounds. Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, In fact every southern state was rep resented in the parade, proudly hoisting flags now faded and "torn. Many had to be held together with nets, but they were proudly waved nevertheless In an swer to plaudits of the crowd. The Arkansas delegation carried a banner inscribed: "We are from Kansas, ' now laugh, darn you." The sponsors and maids of honor of Forest's cavalry rode with tne veterans on horses and were roundly cheered all along the route. Even greater was the cheering for the Tennessee maidens who walked side by side with the old soldiers whom they had come to honor. The Tennesseeans made a fine appearance as their dress was the uniform of confederate gray and they wore army csps and for the most part carried muskets with bay onets fixed. A country delegation from this state having no muskets, carried canes on top of which they placed their hats. The Louisiana sponsors were mounted and rode behind the tattered fiag of the Fourteenth Louisiana. Behind the old soldiers came the members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. They were proud to follow their sires, as was stated by a speaker at their meeting yesterday: "We could do no better than to do as they have done to show courage, forti tude and devotion v.hen tne nour comes It was estimated that 12,000 men were In line, about 3,000 being veterans.

Senator Rawlins Pbllipplni Conclude .Speech. HI tir: Uns, of Utah, concluded his-speech in oppecsition to the Philippine govern ment bill- As on previous days he de- :riZlchJ.?: 'r"a fore the Philippine committee. He an alyzed the testimony In connection with orders issued by the war department and by general office ir. in the Philip pines. He was particularly severe in his denunciation of General Chaffee for the orders he had issued in carrying out the policy of the government. He declared, in conclusion, that the United States would reap a whirlwind of mis fortune and disaster as a result of its policy In the Philippine islands. Senator Rawlins quoted from the tes timony of General MacArthur before the committee on the Philippines in ac counting for the disproportion of the killed and wounded among the Filipi nos. General MacArthur's explanation was: "It arises from the fact that our soldiers are trained In target practice In olher words, they know how to shoot. ne iriiipino soiaiers uo not Know now The explanation r.i.ide by General MacArthur was not satisfactory in the opinion of Mr. Rawlins- The senator's explanation was -this: "Our troops were directed not to encumber them selves with prisoners, and not to bur den themselves with the wounded. The Filipinos were swept from the face of the earth. This was in execution of the programme to make the Visayan dis trict a 'howling wilderness and to ex terminate all the people over the age Senator Rawlins Quoted the orders issued by general officers in the Philip pines. He wsa interrupted by Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, who directed In .52 one of General Chaffee s orders. I do not urge inhuman conduct." 'It strikes me," suggested Senator Carmack. "that General Chaffee should have said: I forbid inhuman con duct.' " "The purpose was," said Senator Rawlins, "that the soldiers were left tn rraPtr with imounitv and without SSjf, YnhUaSSduct. That Is terpretation that can be put upon That was the meaning ascribed to it by the subordinate commanders who prac ticed the most inhuman conduct that the mind of man can conceive. Senator Rawlins sharply criticised General Chaffee and denounced him as a "dastard villain who has brought dis honor upon the American people." House of Representatives.

Storms for sec- retary of state. A number of the nom- inations were made by acclamation. The principal contest, and the one upon which the most interest centered. was the nomination for attorney gen eral. Charles W. Miller was generally credited with being a protege of Sena tor Beveridge and he comes from Gos hen, at which place Judge Baker, who was recently appointed to the federal bench at the instance of Senator Beveridge, also resides. 'Miller's op ponents tried hard to make this tell against him, saying that Goshen had received as much patronage as it could expect. Miller was nominated on the third ballot. There was a hot fight over the Inser tion of the clause in the platform en dorsing the gold standard. It had been decided to advocate a plank in which some members of the committee thought they could detect an approval of bank asset currency. It was strick en out after a lengthy debate and the plank found in the platform was adopt ed. The platform endorses the ad ministration of President Roosevelt. GERMAN WEEK.

Shaner. a conductor on a Fourteenth street car today. which resulted in the senator's receiv ing two severe blows from the conduc tor and the conductor being cut in the right hand with a knife As Senator Money relates the circumstances, he was proceeding irom his home to the Baltimore and Ohio depot to take the o'clock train on that road for Balti more where he goes frequently for medical treatment of his eyes. He had taken a car on the Fourteenth street branch of the Capital Traction Com pany line and had chanced to board a car which stops at the Peace monu ment, half a dozen blocks short of his destination. He had failed to notice this circumstance until the car began to turn around the monument. The car bound for the deDOt was immed iately behind the car on which he was seated. The senator fays that he had only three or four minutes time in which to make his train, but that after he discovered that he was on the wrong j car he called to th? conductor and asked him for a transfer ticket to the tar bound for the depot. He does not recall what the conductor replied, but failing to receive the ticket and recog nizing that he bad no time to lose, he jumped from the car he was in and boarded the other. He had no sooner taken his seat, he says, than the con ductor of that car approached him and asked for his ticket. He then told the conductor that he had not had time to secure a transfer and remainder him tnat he, the conductor, had been a wit- ness to the circumstance of his change uum one car to tne other.

This weapon the conductor grasped and in doing so cut his hand so that it bled very freely. After this proceeding other persons stepped between the two, but notwith standing their presence, the conductor who Is a very tall mar, struck him an other blow over the shoulder of a man standing between them. This blow was struck with the conductor's bloody hand and it hit the senator squarely on the jaw. He was. as a consequence of this blow, covered with blood from the conductor's wound and this circum stance was responsible for a rumor that the senator himself had hcen severely Injured. The senator adds that there were three or four xlicemtn present but that none of them took any steps to prevent the altercation. He says also that both the conductor and the passenger who assisted in his ejectment refused to give their names. The sena tor was not madly hurt, but his trip to Baltimore was prevented. He. how ever, proceeded with his customarv duties about the capitol during the day as if nothing unusual had occurred. Conductor Shaner s a -vigorous but boyish looking man. He says that he did not see the senator. leave the car preceding his; that he "did not strik the senator until the latter drew his knife and that he did not make an ef fort tojmt him off the car while it was in motion." His wound is a slight cut across the ball of the thumb. A warrant was issued thi3 afternoon for the arrest of Conductor Shaner on the charge of assault. It was sworn out by Senator Money. A warrant was also sworn out by the Mississippi senator against James E. Hooper, foreman of truck A. of the District fire department, on the same charge. Hooper is the passenger on the car who assisted the condutor. Later Senator Money called on President Mc Farland, of the board of commissioners of the District of Columbia and prefer red verbal charges against Hooper. Mr. McFarland told him Hooper would be brought before the trial board and the case thoroughly Investigated. Senator Money also wrote to the president of the Capital Traction Com pany demanding the Immediate dismis sal of Conductor Shaner and threaten ed to sue the company for damage If Buch action was not taken. The com pany several years ago dismissed a con ductor at the request of a Massachu setts Senator who resented the conduc tor's polite offer . of assistance while leaving the car on an Icy day. The company's action resulted In vigorous protests at the time. . . Senator Money, later, brought charges f against Capitol Police-man Murphy, wb is alleged to have taken the part of the conductor In the struggle vrlth the sen ator.
