Schley In Mississippi,
JACKSON, Miss., May 2—One year ago Jackson received President McKinley as a visitor, and 5,000 patriotic citizens of Mississippi came to pay him homage. An equal number gathered in this city in honor of the arrival of Admiral Schley and his wife, and the welcome they received was one of whole souled southern hospitality. The city was given over to the distinguished visitors from the moment they arrived in the morning until they departed for Meridian at night, and thousands of people from many parts of the state enthusiastically greeted the admiral until the train's arrival.
