Sporting News of the Day.
There is to be a billiard tournament for
players of this State, and it is likely to
cause more than one contest in this city.
"William Dodds has been requested to repre
sent Pittsburg in tbe tournament which is
to take place in" Philadelphia. There are
several local patrons of tne game, however,
who claim that 31 r. Dodds is not the best
player in Pittsburg now, whatever he may
have been in the past So far as known
Mr. Dodds intends to compete in the tour
nament. This fact caused a. centleman inter
ested in the billiard business to express him
self as follows yesterday:
" I do not for one moment want to under
estimate the abilities of 31 r. Dodds, nor to pre
vent his cetticg all the engagements he can. I
do claim, however, that he is not tbe best
player in Pittsburg. He is an old tinier and I
can name more than one player who is ready
to play him a match. Of course Mr. Dodds
may come out victor, but I do not thine he will,
and 1 maintain that xhe question of who is our
best billiard play er ouzht to be settled before
any body c"es to represent this city in the State
tournament. I am willing to offer an induce
ment for a local contest to prove who is our
best man. I know other gentlemen "svbo will
assist in a content or the kind I name; that is.
they will contribute toward it. Supposing e
had a local tournament, confined entirely to
residents of Pittsbnrg and cities as near to it
as JIcKeesport, 1 am confident that it would be
interestins."
Tbe above suggestion is likely to be carried
oat if a reasonable number of players can be
secured to compete. A gentleman is willing to
offer a prize emblematical of tbe championship
of Allegheny county besides any money that
may be offered. There are more billiard play
ers in the city now than there h ive been at any
time in the past and they are of a higher qual
ity. This fact points to tbe necessity of having
a local tournament to show who really is our
bcstplajer and how he compares with others.

-Hearty Greetings in Illinois.
WELCOMED BY HIS OLD .COMMAND.
Applauding Thousands txather Around te

ONE YOUNG LADT PATOKED WITH A KISS
Galesbtjeg, ILL, October. 8. Cheered
by thousands President Harrison, at Peoria,
to-day responded to Mayor Starke's wel
come in a brilliant speech, at the conclnsion
of which, Elsie Leslie Iiyde, of "Little
Lord Fanntleroy" fame, presented him with
a beautiful; bouquet on behalf'of the citi
zens and the G. A. E. The President
acknowledged the gift by a kiss. '.On the
way to GalesburR he and Secretary Tracy
rode in tbe cab of the engine at' the invita
tion of the engineer, Frank Hilton, an old
soldier. Mr. Harrison tooted the whistle
and Mr. Tracy pulled the bell.
"When the train stopped at the depot in
this city tbe Pres'idental party was met by
the Mayor, the Council and an army of vet
erans, and escorted to the hotel, where dis
tinguished citizens from all parts of the
State and the "West greeted the President.
Profuse and elaborate decorations glorified
the city.
A COLLEGE SPEECH.
The party repaired to- Knox College,
where the corner stone of the Alumni Hall
was to be laid by the PresinenL In his
speecn Mr. Harrison said: .
Washington as well as tbe founders of this
venerable and useful institution of learning
was appreciated, and expressed his interest in
the establishment of colleges and universities.
How shall one be a safe citizen where tbe peo
ple are rulers who is not intelligent? How
shall be understand these great questions af
fecting the public welfare witbont broad,
intillectual culture in his youth? Wo are then
encaged in a patriotic work as we lay this cor
ner stone of this new edifice, part of an institu
tion that has had a great career of usefulness
in the past and is now entering on a field of en
larged usefulness. We lay this cornerstone
and rcdedicate this institute wun trutn, lore
and loyalty to God. Applause.
following this the corner stone' was placed
in position, and the President, with mor
tar, carefully closed it and covered the
seams. Great applause greeted this per
formance, which brought the ceremonies to
an end.
WITH HIS OLD BEGIMENT.
The party then went to the hotel for din
ner, and at 3 o'clock' the reunionof theEirst
Brigade, the President's old command, was
held at the Opera House. To this it was
found imperative to admit only old veterans
and their immediate families, and even then
the Opera House was almost inadequate to
the occasion. President Harrison was escort
ed from the hotel to the scene of the reunion
by a committee headed by General Daniel
Dustin, formerly Colonel "of .the One Hun
dred and Fifth Illinois In Ian try.
The appearance of President Harrison on
the stage was the occasion for an outburst of
cheers- from the assembled veterans that
made the very walls tremble. After the ap
plause had somewhat snbsided President
Harrison addressed the veterans of his old
brigade as follows:
Comrades, the object'Of my visit to Gales
burg was this meeting which we are to have
now. I should not, 1 think, been persuaded to
make this trip except for the pleasure which I
expected to find in meeting the men of the old
brigade, from most of whom I have been
separated since the muster-out day. Time has
wrought its changes upon the faces of us all.
You recognize me because there were not so
many colonels as there were soldiers, fortu
nately, perhaps, for the country. Laughter.
I saw you as individuals in the brigade line
when it was drawn up either for parade or
battle.
SHAKINTJ HANDS.
At the conclusion of the President's re
marks tbe applause brought General Dustin
to the front, and that gentleman spoke
freely, after which the President announced
his desire to shake each member of his
former command by the hand. After the
adjournment the veterans mounted the stage
one by one and grasped the President's
hand.
The President was now driven to the
hotel where he retired to a private room
until 6 P. M. This evening the President
attended a banquet civen by the Phi Delta
Theta Society at College Hall, and later a
banquet given by the First Brigade at the
First Christian Church. At the Phi Delta
Theta the President said:
My college associations were broken very
early in life, partly by necessity and partly by
choice; by necessity ao far as the compnlson to
work tor a living was upon me. and by choice
in that I added to my responsibility at an
early date, so that it has not been my pleasure
very often to meet with or sit about the ban
quet board with members of this society. It
gives me pleasure to meet with you to-night.
CHICAGO MISSED.
This afternoon the President received a
telegram from Hon. George E. DavisjDirec
tor General ot the World's Fair, asking him
to arrange his western itinerary so as to make
a brief visit to Chicago on tbe return east To
this the President this evening replied that
the limited time of his Western trip and the
impossibility of changing the present trip
without injustice, rendered it impossible for
him to visit Chicago on this occasion.
Colonel P. G. Balllngall, President ol the
Ottumvra, la.. Corn Palace, arrived here to
day with a committee to arrange for the
President's reception in that city to-morrow,
where the party will arrive in the

de Paris and the welcome of him to
America in the name of the President of the
United States. "How the imaginative corre
spondents got the news that the complaint
hadjbeen made to" the President by "the
French Legation, and tbal particulars of
the matter had been formally forwarded to
France, is curious in viewof the fact that
neither Minister Boustan, nor Count Sala,
tbe Secretary of the Legation, is in the city,
and ' without them no action of any kind
could have been taken. A leading member
of the French Legation said to-day to the
correspondent of The Dispatch:
The whole story is absnrd. While tbe Comte
de Paris is. exiled from France, a pretender to
the throne, and unrecognized therefore as a
citizen of tbe republic or as a Frenchman.lt was
certainly quite immaterial to the Frerch lega
tion whether the pretender to the throne of
France was received by a common customs offi
cer, who Gratuitously assumed to represent the
President and the country, or whether he was
given any sort of formal reception whatever.
Even were the Comte de Pans received with
tbe greatest formality and honor by the highest
dignitaries of the land, it wonld be. worse than
foolish, it would be idiotic, to assume that sucn
welcome was to distinguish or aggrandize the
pretender to the French throne. It wonld, as
anyone should know, be solely on account of
the conspicuous and honorable part played by
the Comte in tbe Army of the Union, and his
very creditable historical literary work touch
ing upon the War of the Rebellion. Of course
I speak only as a Frenchman, and not as a con
nection of tbe legation, and I only feel about
the Comte's visit as any person of ordinary in.
telligence must feel, that the personal
courtesies extended him on account of bis ser
vices to America are quite apropos. Any other
treatment would be decidedly mauvais gout.

The Sight Witnessed by Three Reputable
and Sober Canadians.
rSFICTAl. TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.1
Ottawa, October 8. This evening a few
minutes before 7 o'clock three men were
standing in front of Voisard's grocery store
at St Catherine in conversation. Suddenly
one of them exclaimed: "That man will
fall and be killed." He dfrected the atten
tion of his companions to a house just across
the street, where outlined, against the sky
was plainly seen the figure of a man walking
along the edge of the roof from the chimney
to the edge of the eaves trough. The figure
appeared to be about eight leet ip height
and balanced above his head he held a long
pole, such as is used by tight rope walkers.
The trio looked breathlessly at tbe spectacle,
expecting every moment to see the man fall
to the ground. Turning slowly around, the
figure ascended to the roof again, walking
on the extreme edge, poised for a moment on
tbe point of the roof, then appeared to dimin
ish in size, finally disappearing altogether.
The three men were almost terror stricken,
and rushed across the street into the yard,
expecting to find that tbe man had fallen,
but no trace of man or pole could be found.
The men who saw the weird sight are re
spectable, reputable people, and they agree
in their recital of the story with the single
exception that one of them says that the
man was in his shirt sleeves and had dark
vest and trousers, while tbe others say that
he had a full suit of dark clothes on. Xhe
heavy pole was distinctly seen "by all three,
held aloft by the figure.
BRITISH EYES ON 0TXB SALT.
Englishmen Figuring on Purchasing Famous
Kansas Deposits. 1
Kansas City, October 8. A party of
Brooklyn, New York and London people
arrived in the city this morning on their
way to Hutchinson, Kan., under- tbe'escOri'
of Benjamin Blanchard, of Terre Haute,
whose business interests are all at Hutchin
son. The object of the visit is to investi
gate the famous salt deposits' at South
Hutchinson, Kan., with the view to their
ultimate purchase.
Three years ago these mines were discov
ered, and upon tests proved to be the only
domestic salt in America at all able to com
pete with the British salt. The British
people have realized this, and naturally not
caring to lose their grip on the American
salt market,' have been'making overtures to
Mr. Blanchard for the purchase of the
South Hutchinson mines. These negotia
tions have beeu pending for 18 months.

COOPER AND ANDREWS DENY IT.
No Truth in the Story That the Latter Has
Seen Deposed.
ISFECIAL, TELEQUAM TO THE DISPATCII.1
Philadelphia, October 8. It was re
ported to-day that the result of a conference
between Senator Quay and Collector Cooper
on Tuesday was that -the latter should suc
ceed Chairman Andrews in the management
of the State campaign. The rumor has been
current since Senator Quay's first visit to
this city, and when Chairman Andrews was
spoken to on the subject, he said: "It is a
political canard, and it is a part of tbe busi
ness of our enemies."
Collector Cooper is more demonstrative
than Chairman Andrews, aud in an inter
view said: "The story-reminds me of many
published by the same authority when I
was Chairman. If Colonel Quay visited the
city there were flaming headlines that Chair
man Cooper had beeu deposed, and that
Colonel Quay had himself assumed the con
duct of the campaign. These were simple
canards invented with a view to create the
beliet that Republican counsels were divided
and demoralized. They were never true,
and the present one touching tbe deposition
of Chairman Andrews is just as false."
