THE PITTSBTIRG. DISPATCH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11. - 1890.
r
THE TMJFFSETTLED
For the Present, at Least, and
It May Possibly Be
Temporarily
RETIRED FROM POLITICS.
Some New York Democrats Opposed
to Mr. Cleveland Are Mow
LOOKING ODT FOR A NEW ISSUE.
Tha Business Interests Will Be Against Any
Sadden Chance.
LEADERS TO BE LAID ON THE SHELF
trEOM A STAFF CORKESPOICDJSXTJ
Is EW Yoke, October 10. If ot a few
New Xork Democrats of national ideas
freely express the opinion that the party
will make a mistake should it go into the
next national canvass on the tariff as an
issue. Be kind enough to note the distinc
tion as to New York Democrats. Politicians
of either party here are mostly provincial,
have little or no idea beyond Tammany, the
County Democracy, John J. O'Brien and
me th ward; and like the pious old lady
who knew the Bible, nothing more, they
don't want to know anything else.
But there are thoughtful men of political
influence, Republicans and Democrats, who
are looting beyond factional New York
toward the next struggle for national
supremacy. Among these are Democrats
whose opinions are entitled to weight in the
national councils, who are quick to recog
nize tne fact that while the tariff question is
not settled satisfactorily to the Democracy
as a body, it is settled.
SETTLED FOB THE PRESENT.
Not for all time, perhaps, but it is prac
tically settled for the present. Any dispo
sition looking to the reopening of the tariff
agitation during the next few years will be
frowned upon by the general business com
munity. And anv act of the next National
Democratic Convention that predicates a
change of the tariff system upon national
Democratic success will be simply suicidal.
These statesmen are probably only a short
distance in the lead of the many wise Demo
crats throughout the country. The present
flurry in commercial circles will have
quieted down in six months, and before the
next Presidental nominating convention is
called the business of the country will have
become fiimly seated in the saddle of the
new customs laws. Whatever party under
takes, or threatens to undertake, to over
throw these laws and substitute a radically
new system, will be buried so overwhelm
ingly that it would scarcely be worth while
to dig it up again.
For whatever hardships is entailed by the
recent tariff legislation the Democrats may
bold their opponents responsible; but they
must also give credit for the benefits which
may arise from it. What may those benefits
be? "Will thev offset the perceptible evils?
Perhaps the country may not only survive
the McKinVy tariff bill but thrive under it
because of it, or in spile of it You may
take your choice.
A POLITICAL POSSIBILITY.
Perhaps in either case it might be politic
ally wise not to call too much attention to
the Republican tariff act, for fear that it
might after a while work pretty well. The
merits of the system itself will probably be
always open tojfair discussion. If it is pro
posed to change systems of taxation, how
ever, or shake customs duties up and down
with every change ot political complexion
at Washington, it does not require any wise
men of the Eit to foresee that the general
business people of this country will not as
sist in the operation. Quite the contrary.
"The party must not go into battle on a
dead issue," remarked one of these solid
Democrats to the writer. "We were squarely
beaten the last time on the tariff issue with
our tariff reform candidate. Right or
wrong, we were beaten. The present tariff
law is the result. If it had not been passed
the question wou'd still have been an open
one and we might have made a better fight
on it the next time. But it was passed. It
is the law of the land. It may be a bad
system, it may be a bad law; but it is rank
iolly to think of attempting to overthrow it
just as business gets fairly adjusted to it.
.Even if it is a bad law, my point politically
is well taken. The people will never sub
mit to an immediate repetition of the condi
tions of the last five or six years."
"Does not that view of the question mean
the enforced retirement of the specialty tariff
leform leaders?"
OPPOSED TO CLEVELAND.
"Only so far, in my opinion, as the Presi
dental candidate is concerned. The party
cannot be held responsible for the Hnrds,
the Carlisle?, the Mills, the Wattersons and
the Morrisons. As soon as one of these is
placed at the head of the national ticket,
however, in harmony with a national plat
form, then the party is responsible. For
this reason I aBsuine that the late Democrat
ic President, who is-a good man and a clever
politician, as well as a tariff reformer, is out
of the question as to availability. The issue
which made him our last President is dead
well, not dead, perhaps, but torpid, and
must be laid awayiin some healthy, quiet
spot where it will have a chance to revive."
Theie would seem to be the germ of true
political philosophy in this view of ths situ
ation. There are few Democrats who will
be frank enough to accept this philosophy
with readiness, but they will be greatly
multiplied before the next year is oH. At
least that is the opinion of conservative
Democrats here, and especially those who
lollow the shade of the late Samuel J. Ran
dall and the substance of Charle3 A. Dana.
But what will become of Mr. Cleveland's
Presidental chances under these hypotheses?
Mr. Cleveland is the moral embodiment of
the Democratic theories and purposes as set
forth bv the laot Chicago National Conven
tion. Will be, too, accept the new condition
of things, or will he imitate the Bourbons
and decline to profit by experience?
INTERESTING QUESTIONS.
The campaign of education will go
on, of course, whether the ex-Presidental
expounder retains his position as princioal
leicnercr nou uut will tins Democratic
e mcaticnal curriculum include the active
.md energetic advocacy of an immediate
overhauling revision of the tarifi? du
Congressional majority favorable to such a
view be considered probable, or even a
possible result ot such a canvass? These be
interesting questions and they ate questions
already pertinent. In a very short time
they will be asked by a good many people
recently supporters ot Mr. Cleveland. They
must be answered and they must be an
swered satisfactorily by those who lead and
would hope to lead to political victorv.
lliey must be dealt with independently of
all other questions involving all other is
sues. They must be met tquarely and hon
estly. They douhtless will be so met,
Fmm all indications the Democracy will
be compelled to accept the present con
dition of things so far as the tariff and civil
service are concerned, or remain in retire
ment. You cannot change the opinions of
the great majority of the Ueniocratic party,
who are undeniably hostile to the present
tarifi law, but there is a formidable minority
of that party who believe in the high pro
tective theories embodied in that law, and
these may succeed in holding the majority
in check to prevent at least the certainty of
disaster. ,
THE MINORITY MAY RULE.
If this minority should prevail and se
cure a conservative recognition of "the
state of things" in the national platform,
and place upon that platform a Presidental
candidate whose record is not that of a con
spicuously reckless tariff smasher, the
people may go to the polls without the hesita
tion that precedes a threatened commercial
disturbance. If they should not prevail,
look out for a general tilt with a wind mill,
in which the wind mill will not suffer irrep
arable dam.ige.
This is a disagreeable conclusion, it is
true, but it will be recognized by all broad
gauge political thinkers as logically correct.
Principles do not change. Exigencies, es
pecially political exigencies, change very
often, very suddenly and very materially.
The greatness ot political leadership
largely lies in the wisdom to comprehend,
and capacity to grasn, the exigency of the
hour, and it is equally an evidence of a wise
leadership to let go ol it when it is no longer
either useful or practicable. It would seem
that almost anybody of plain, everyday
horse sense might realize the lull import of
the passage of the recent tariff act as bear
ing on the immediate future of the Demo
cratic party? As a matter of fact, however,
ii will probably not only take some time to
promulgate, bnt require a sound drubbing to
force it into the ordinary Democratic mind.

WARWICK HUSTLING
FOR THE SEAT IN CONGRESS OCCUPIED
BY M'KINLEY.
Governor Hill and Other Big Democratic
Speakers to Visit the District Trying to
Get Out the Full Party Vote.
ISrZCIAL TELEOKAM TO Till SISrATCH.1
Canton, O., October 10. From now until
the close of ths McKinley-Warwick battle
there will be some extremely lively hustling
on both sides in this Congressional district.
The impression prevails in many quarters, no
donbt partly owing to the Major's national
reputation, that most of the hard work is be
ing done in his benair. This is a mistake of
the worst kind. "Warwick's lriends have
rallied to his support in a surprising man
ner, and, like the immortal John G. Thomp
son, they are claiming everything with con
fidence. Within a few days they will turn a
brilliant array of orators loose in the dis
trict, and keep matters going at concert
pitch until after the election.
Among the men who will lend their as
sist i nee may be mentioned Governor Hill,
of New York; Governor Campbell, of this
State; Congressman McAdoo, of New Jer
sey; General Sickles, New York; Virgil P.
Kline, Cleveland; Smith M. Weed, New
York; Congressman Bynum, Indiana; Hon.
Martin A. Foran, Cleveland; Hon. Charles
W. Baker, Cincinnati: General John C
Black, ex-Commissioner of Pensions; Hon.
J. H. Outhwaito and Hon. Lawrence L
Neal.
Warwick's friends point with satisfaction
to the alleged fact that McKinley, under
the most probable auspices, has never been
qnite equal to the full party strength in the
old district. The leaders declare that the
days of "boodle" campaigns in that part of
the State are things of the past, and that
the party will be trne to its conviction and
vote that way in November.
they ABE ALSO
making considerable capital ont of what
they call appeals for cash being made
by many papers of the country to help
the Major out, and claim that some of it
has been returned to Youngstown and
Sharon in order to stop the tongue of
scandal.
Warwick's record is pointed to with con
siderable party pride. As Lieutenant Gov
ernor with Hoadley he pleased the party,
and as a business man they rate him second
to none in the district. In addition to this
he is farming 1,000 acres of land in the dis
trict. WALLACE TJT THE 'FIGHT.
He Will Accompany Candidate Pattison
on His Tour Next Week.
Philadelphia, October 10. Ex-Senator
William A. Wallace was in the city
for a few hours yesterday, having come over
from New York, and gratified his Democratic
callers by stating that he not only intended
to take part in the great meeting at the
Academy of Music to-morrow eening, but
that he would accompany Go verncr Pattison
on his campaigning tour up the State next
week, and would make a number of
speeches for the ticket. He expressed
the warmest interest in the camnaign.
The Senator will start ont on Monday morn
ing with Governor Pattison and the other
candidates and speakers who have accom
panied him in the present tour, leaving the
Broad street btation at 6:50 o'clock A. M.,
and going throngh to Stroudsburg, in Mon
roe county, where a large meeting will be
held. Leaviug there at 2:36 o'clock r. M.,
the party will come down to Easton, at
which place and at Bethlehem stops will be
made for speech making. AUentown will
be reached at7:28o'clock-p. si., and there a
great mass meeting will be held, at which
Senator Wallace, Governor Pattison and
other leading Democrats will speak.
On Tuesday the party will proceed up the
Lehigh Vallev, stopping at many of the
towns along the way, and addressing a large
meeting at Hazleton in the evening. Dur
ing the remainder of the week evening
meetings will be held as follows: Wednes
day, Wilkesbarre; Thursday, Scranton;
Friday, Danville; Saturday,' Shenandoah.
In addition, numerous meetings will be
held during the daytime in the many towns
and cities between those points.
A C0HGBESSI0NAL AGREEMENT

:SrZClAl. TILXOttAH TO TBX DISPATCB.1
New York, October 10. Manfred Ham
ilton Orr is a short, thin man of 25 years,
with bristling blonde hair and mustache,
and a face fnll of jagged outlines. He; is a
faithfnl attendant of Dr. Paxton's church,
and for many years has been a worker in
the Young Men's Christian Association.
Until six months ago he was a member of
the Seventh Regiment
Just now Mr. Orr is unable to attend meet
ings of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion. Nor will Mr. Pax ton see his eager
and devout face in the congregation next
Sunday. The fact is, Manfred Hamilton Orr
has been found out and is now under $1,500
bail in the Jeffersom market prison awaiting
trial for grand larceny.
About 25 years ago Orr was left an
orphan. His aunt, Mrs. Sarah Nixon,
took him and has since clothed and fed
him, bringing him up as her own child.
When her hnsband died 10 years ago she
intrusted Orr with the care of the small for
tune left her. It is lor alleged violation of
this trust that Mr. Orr has been locked
up. Mrs. Nixon is a woman with no
knowledge of business, and advancing
age has made her somewhat eccentric
Five years ago, last Mav, Manfred, as her
agent, leased a house at 363 West Thirtieth
street. Furniture to the value ot $5,000
was purchased and Mrs. Nixon rented
the rooms to lodgers. Manfred col
lected and took charge of all her
money for her. One day about two
years ago she went away on a visit and when
she returned she found the house stripped of
everything, and when she searched for Man
fred he was gone also. After some time he
returned and patched up a flimsy story,
which only partially deceived Mrs. Nixon.
Since that time her trust in him has been
not altogether complete and at times her sus
picions have broken out in reproaches.
Whenever the money came from her land in
vestment in Gadsen, Ala., she allowed Man
fred to have it, as she knew no one else, and
loved him because of her long care of him.
Finally he managed to get her locked up on
a charge of insanity, and while she was
proving herself sane in court he was clear
ing out a second bouse she had furnished.
Ever since the return of Mrs. Nixon from
the prison Orr had guarded her closely, re
maining with her most of the time and lock
ing her up in the house 'whenever he went
out. As she is in feeble health, this plan
worked well. But while he was at court on
Wednesday morning she managed to open
one of the parlor windows and climb down
to the street, about nine feet below. She
went to police headquarters and told her
story. Detective Serjeant Vallely took all
parties before Jnstice Gorman this morn
ing. Orr was committed for trial in default
of 51.500 bail. When arrested he had but
$6 50 in money.
PORTER'S FIGURES NOT IN IT.
The New Tork Police Census Will be Nearly
300,000 Ahead.
!trECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New Yobk, October 10. Our police cen
sus took another big leap to-day. Tweuty
nine of tbe'largest election districts in the
city were turned in late in the afternoon at
City Hall. We are now 144,384 ahead of
Porter's censns, with 19 districts still out.
These are the figures: Pot ice census to date,
1,657,904; Porter's total, 1,513,520; increase,
with 19 districts still out, 144,384. The
average indicated by the 928 completed
election districts has gone np now to
1.786. The districts that came in to
day averaged nearly 2,500 and there is
small reason to doubt that the 19 districts
still to come in will do as well. If thev
merely keep up the 1,786 average for all
the jest,, here is what our population will
be: 947 district at 1.786H, 1,691,815. Pot
ter's total, 1,573,520; increase indicated,
178,294.
This improvement over Porter's figures
shows that the Federal census might have
chiseled us out of a whole Congressman and
a fraction of another. Bnt this increase is
based on a very conservative estimate, in
deed. There "were plenty of good people
over at City Hall to-day who were willing
to bet a $20 bill against an old hat that
we'll show up 1,700,000 strong when the
Nine Hundred and Forty-seventh district is
heard from.
A SUIT AGAINST B. V. PIERCE
For the Alienation of the Affections of An
other Man's Wife.
SPECIAL TELEOKAM TO TUI DISPATCHl
New York, October 10. Telegrams from
Buffalo announce that William S. Wyse,
who owns a kidney-cure shop at 157 West
Twenty-third street, has sued Dr. Ray V.
Pierce, the pateut medicine man of
that city, for $100,000 damages for
alienation of Mrs. Wyse's affections.
All three were in San Francisco in
1888 when a quarrel occurred between Mr.
and Mrs. Wyse, who have since lived apart.
Dr. Pierce is charged with being intimate
with Mrs. Wyse since their seperation. He
declares the suit to be an attempt at extor
tion and says that offers have been made to
compromise.
Mr. Wyse was for mauy years manager of
the advertising department of Harper &
Bros, and apparently in this capacity ber
came first acquainted with Dr. Pierce. He
is said to have won $100,000 on Cleveland's
election in 1884. Mrs. Wyse is a second
wife. Her age is 45. Dr. Pierce and Wyse
are about five years older. Dr. Pierce was
in the State Senate in 1878 and 1879.
A BANQUET IN THE TUNNEL.
Novel Mode of Holding a Celebration at
Sarnla.
Sarnia, Ont, October 10. The tunnel
celebration committee have agreed upon the
lines of the programme for the ausnicious
occasion. It has been decided to hold a
banquet in the tnnnel itself. The table is
to be 1,000 feet long, and located so as to be
500 feet on each side of the international
boundary.
The chairman is to be seated exactly on
the line. On the Canadian side of him
will be the President of the United States,
and on the American side the Governor
General of Canada, while the Minister of
State and other notables from both conn
tries will be in attendance.
DELEGATE CAUSE, of Utah, has been In

THOUSANDS OF IDLE MINEES.
The Australian Colliers Strike Causing Seri
ous Inconvenience.
Sydney, October 10. Two thousand
miners assembled to-day at the Corrimal
mine, but work was not resumed. The stock
of coal of the railways is dwindling, and a
force ot police and artillery has been dis
patched to the Lithgow colliery district,
where it is intended to hew a coal supply
for the railroads.
The Legislative Council has elected three
delegates to the Australian Federation Con
vention. '
- TWO BBOKEBS SUSPEND.
The London Stock Exchange Embarrass

LoNDOff, October 10. Ths fears that,
there would be some failures on the Stock
Exchange to-day, on the result of the settle
ment, have been confirmed. The suspension
of two brokers is annonnced. One of them
wis a lares operator. The other failure was
that of jobber on the Exchange.

Washington, October 10. Although
there is lots of work yet ahead of the Censns
Office, the greatest interest at present sur
rounds the approaching completion of the
count of the country. This work is being
rapidly pushed forward and the results have
been published by counties. The larger
towns have also been counted, bnt those of
less than 2,000 people and the small villages
will have to wait for the second count before
they can officially know the number of their
inhabitants.
NOT AS MANY AS EXPECTED.
From the present outlook it would appear
that there are not quite 64,000.000 of us.
There are, however, over 63,000,000 o people
in the country, and an advance of 13,000,000,
such as that figure indicates during ten
years, is of itself sufficiently extraordinary.
Up to the present time the Census Office has
completed the count o'f 29 States and Terri
tories, these giving a total of 44,743,144.
The returns from the remaining 19 States
are all in and most of them have been
countej, but in each case there are one or
more districts which have not yet been
figured up so that the actual figures for the
whole of the States can't yet be determined.
All but six of these are Southern States.
A sufficient number of districts in each
State have, however, been couuted to afford
a very close estimate of what will be the
totals. These estimates have been figured
out and give a total o: 18,263,021. -This
number added to the total of the 29 States
which have been counted, gives a grand
total for the whole country of 63,006,165,
and it can be confidently asserted that the
final official figures will not vary from this
by more than 250,000.

"Washington, October 10. One of the
appointments tbat hangs fire, and has been
so hanging ever since the advent of this ad
ministration, is the Superintendence of the
Foreign Hail service. It seems that there
is no one of the applicants which quite fills
the bill, as Mr. Wanamaker has an idea
tbat the occupant of the plaoe should know
a dozen or so of the most prominent foreign
languages. Consequently the applicants,
of whom there is a dozen or so, are much
disgusted with Mr. Wanamaker, and conse
quently the duties of the office" are being
performed by the very capable chief of that
bureau. It is said now that the aspirants
are now -pooling their issues to force some
decision of the matter at about the time
when their various "influences" come back
to the Capital for the next session of Con
gress. Another important office yet unfilled about
which there is a deal of worry is that of the
chief of the secret service of the Treasury
Department. Ever since the resignation of
Chief Bell, the old war horse of detectives,
ex-Chief Brooks, who had the office dnring
so many exciting years, has been performing
the duties with only the pay of an ordinary
operator of the service. It is said that
Secretary Wiudom is desirous of appointing
Brooks to the place, bnt that the President
is opposed on account of the part Brooks
piayea years ago, wnen .Mx. Harrison was a
Senator, in ferreting out some doubtful
transactions with regard to Government
lands in which Mr. Russell Harrison, the
son of the President, was involved. Sena
tor Harrison desired to get at the report
made by Brooks but-tna.Jatter succeeded
in keeping it away irom him, and for this,
so the story goes, the President prevents an
appointment which all agree would be an
eminently good one and one which Mr.
-Windom is said to be very desirous to
make.
The old lot of applicants for the place,
who have been held at bay by the opposition
of labor organizations to a great extent, are
still to the fore, weary with waiting, bnt
hopeful still, snch as Erskine and Furlong,
of St Louis, and Drnmraond, of New York.
The last named is supposed to have the best
chance, but as he is bitterly opposed by
labor organizations whose work he has spied
upon and against which he has testified and
gathered evidence, and as his former place
in the Secret Service -was secured by his
pals when he was about to be cornered in
his business of that time, which was nothing
less' than the business of a smuggler, it is
thought improbable that the wise and
cautious Secretary-of the Treasurv will give
him the plum.

Washington, October 10. The re
ceipts of the Custom House for the month of
September reached the enormons amount of
$15,769,706.21, or an average of upward of
half a million dollars a day. On some of
the days the receipts amounted to- above
Billion. Trusting to memory, sn official of
the Treasury Department, who gives the
information to The Dispatch, says he be
lieves this to be the largest returns of any
one month in the history of the office.
Had the whole been paid in gold the
weight of these receipts would been upward
of 40 tons.
AFTER GREAT GUNS.
The War Department Wants Bids for the

(SPECIAL TELEPItAM TO THE DtSFATCR.1
Waeeham, -Mass., October 10. The
few summer residents who remain on the
East Wareham and Bonrne shores have had
a secret for the past 48 hours and they
guarded it well. Mrs. Grover Cleveland
has been reigning supreme, but
almost alone since Wednesday at Joseph
Jefferson's summer palace on Butter
milk Bay. She came with her maid and
took possession of the elegant cottage fonr
days after Mr. Jefferson and his family left
for New York, where he is rehearsing pre
paratory to opening his dramatic season
week after next. Mrs. Symonds, Mr. Jef
ferson's housekeeper, did the honors upon
the arrival ol Mrs. Cleveland, and only a
few trainmen and a limited few about Buz
zards Bay station were aware of her presence.
She departed to-night for New York via
the Old Colony Fall River line, going as
quietly as she came, and in an evident at
tempt to travel incognito. During her stay
Mrs. Cleveland inspected Tudor Haven,
Mr. Cleveland's recent purchase, and made
suchuggestions abont the improvements to
be made as to accord with her desires for the
cottage she is to occupy early next season.
The Cleveland carriages have arrived
and are stored in the little stable at the
Haven. It is reported here that she is also'
greatly interested in the approaching mar
riage of Joseph Jefferson, Jr., and Miss
Bendelf, to take place early in the spring.
Mrs. Cleveland is greatly interested in the
yonng couple, and is expected to take a
prominent part at the wedding. Thomas
Jefferson, the distinguished actor's second
son, has recently begun the erection of a
fine cottage upon Buttermilk Bay, adjoin
ing his father's, and it is understood that
the younger son will bring his bride to the
elder's palace by the sea for the honeymoon,
and that Mrs. Cleveland and a few imme
diate friends will be at hand to assist in
making the occasion doubly memorable to
all concerned.
It is reported here to-day that Mr. Jeffer
son, while he is desirous to have the Buz
zards Bay bridge built, about which there is
much coutroversy and which he and Mr.
Cleveland greatly favored, will not take any
active steps personally to further it, as he
learns that several of his shore resident
friends hereabouts are opposed to the proj
ect This bridge contest promises to be one
of the most fiercely fought in the coming
Legislature. Both he and Mr. Cleveland
are interested in ii, as it will assist ma
terially in -increasing the value of Tudor
Haven building lots and the Jefferson
acres.

New York, October 11. William E.
Whalen, who bad been cashier of the Hoff

dismissed a month ago. The statement was
made that his accounts were perfectly
straight, but that Proprietor E. S. Stokes,
who had had a deal of trouble with a num
ber of his subordinates, had decided
to make a change. Whalen was brought
from Montreal to-day by detectives and
was locked up by Acting Superintendent
Byrnes on a charge of misappropriating
funds entrusted to him while he was casnier
ot the Hoffman Honse. The arrest brought
out the fact that Mr. Stokes had reported to
the acting superintendent tnat an examina
tion of Whalen's books bad revealed the
fact that he had been cooking his accounts
for nearly 18 months.
Wnalen is a bachelor of about 35 vears'1
of age, and had been n clerk at the Windsor
and other city hotels before he entered Mr.
Stokes' employ. Acting Superintendent
Byrnes had a long talk with him to-day.
He said afterward that the prisoner ad

been informed that the total amount of
Whalen's shortage was f5,000.

GLAD GREETING OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
Tut Throags Crowd tha Depot to See ths Chief Htg
istrsU Piss.
Kansas Citt, October 10. The stop at
Atchison was brief and the -President did
not leave the car. Coming to the rear of
the platform he bowed to the cheering
mnltitude, and little Edna Elizabeth
Downs, who was to welcome the President
in the name of the assembled children, was
lifted in the arms of a sturdy citizen and
spoke as follows:
We come. President Harrison, representing
oar Public Schools and present tnese flowers,
plucked by little girls, one for each State of
onr great Union. These are our emblems of
purity, representee our love and patriotism
for the nation over which you preside. You
not only find this true of Atchison, but ot all
Kans-is, and we trnst the spirit pervades the
length and breadth of our land. Great ap
plause. The President was almost buried beneath
the bouquets that greeted him at the con
clusion of the little maiden's speech. They
were of every design and color, and the most
beautifnl wa's, perhaps, the one presented by
the little speaker herself, which was in the
shape of an immense "H.-"
OK KANSAS SOIL.
Chief Justice Horton, of the Kansas Su
preme Court, also welcomed the President
to the State and introduced him to the audi
ence as follows: .
Mr Fkllow Citizens Kansas is greatly
'honored to-day by the presence within her
limits ot the dlstinzuisheu Chief Magistrate of
the nation. His exalted position, character
and his conscientious discbarge of public duty
evoke the conndence and respect of every citi
zen. Kansas is supremely happv at tne visit of.
tbe distinguished President to-day, and wishes
to receive him with open arms and extended
band?, and give him a thorough welcome. Ap
plause. I now present to you the President of
the United States.
The President, in reply, referred to his
pleasure in standing for the first time on
Kansas soil, and said he was pleased to be
at the' home city of that distinguished states
man, Senator Ingalls. This reference
brought cheers. He continued:
I can't retrain from saying God be thanked
tbat freedom won its early battle in Kansas.
Applause. All this would have been other
wise impossible. You have well maintained
the lessons the contest taught, living and dring.
It was appropriate tbat the survivors of the
late war, men crowned from tbe consuming
victory of liberty, should make the State of
Kansas pre-eminently the soldier State of the
Union.
GOOD WISHES FKOM HAEEISON.
ffow, after telling you that I am very grate
ful for your kindly greeting this morning, you
will. I am sure, excuse me in this tumult from
attempting further speech. May ever God
attend you in your homes; may tbe career of
this great State be increasing prosperity In
things material, and may your citizens never
forget that tbe spiritual things take bold of
liberty, and human rights are higher and better
than all material things. Prolonged cheering.
Allow me now to present to you the only
member of my Cabinet who accompanies me
General Tracy, of New York, the Secretary of
the Navy.
Secretary Tracy bowed his acknowledg
ments and the train pulled out. At Norton
ville, tbe children tnrned out en masse, and
gave the President a hearty welcome. Mr.
Harrison was introduced by Governor
Humphrey and spoke as follows:
SIY Fellow Citizens This brief stop for
bids tbat I should say anvthinc more than to
thank you and to extend to you all my most
friendly greetings. The sky is overcast, but in
this assemblage of your school children with
flags, and in this sturdy gathering of men, who
have made Kansas great among States, there
are suggestions that spread a ray of hope and
beauty above our country and its destiny.
SCHOOL TALKS.
It gives mo great pleasure to make this first
visit to this Spite. It gives me pleasure to see
both at Atchison and here tbe interest which
tbe presence of these children shows you take
in public education. There are many here,
wbo, in their early days, experienced the hard
ships and privations of pioneer life. Theave.
nnes of learning were shut to them, bat it was
much to your credit tbat what tbey lacked in
tbe early life, the impediments which have
burdened tbeir career, they have bravely re
solved fhall not burden their children. I thank
you again for this pleasant reception, and bid
you good-bye, as we must proceed on our
journey.
In behalf of the school children, a little
girl presented the President with a collection
of beautiful bouquets.
"My little girl," said the President, "I
will have to kiss you for giving me all
these," and as he leaned over the rear rail
ing to meet the lips of the little miss, the
crowd applauded vigorously and then gave
three cheers for the Preshjent of the United
States.
Secretary Tracy was introduced as the
train pulled out, A letter was received
from Colonel E. N. Townsend, of tbe United
States Twelfth Infantry, inviting the Presi
dent to visit the United States Cavalry
shoot at Fort Leaven worth during his West
ern trip, but he declined becanse of lacK of
time.
OKEETBD BT CROWDS.
At Valley Falls another large crowd was
assembled. The President was introdnced
and, thanking the citizens for the ovation
tendered him, said that he would not at
tempt any speech further than to say that
this greeting put him, if possibleunder
still stronger obligations in every official
duty that devolved upon him to consult the
interests of tbe people, and do that which
seems to be most promotive of pnblic good.
Cheers.
A basket of fine apples, illustrative of
Kansas fruit, was presented to the Presi
dent at this point by M. M. Maxwell, for
merly a friend of the President's, in Marion
county, Ind., bnt now a citizen of Kansas.
At 10:30 o'clock the President's train
rolled into the Santa Fe depot at Topeka.
The assembled crowd cheered long and loud.
Senator Ingalls received the .President at
this point and at once boarded the special
train. The city was beautifully decorated,
as the occasion was also the reunion of the
State soldiers. The President was escorted
to the State Housp by Governor Hnmphrey
and bis staff, and Senator Ingalls there re
ceived the immense crowd as it marched by.
It took oyer two hours for the President to
review the vast parade of the many thou
sands tbat marched'past him in front of the
Capitol.
MAECHING THOUSANDS.
First in the parade was five companies of
United states cavalry, ioiiowea oy one com
pany of infantry and a company 'of Kansas
State Guards. The Sons of Veterans were
followed by the Kansas organization of ex
prisoner ot war, who cheered frantically as
they passed in tront'of the President. This
marks the occasion of the largest reunion
Kansas, the great State of xex.soldiers, has
ever had, and it is estimated that 30,000
passed the reviewing stand. As the colored
contingent passed the President their band
struck up "Marching Through Georgia,"
and the crowd cheered its appreciation. The
Connecticut jeterans came next. As the
large body of Illinois Volunteers passed
Eev. Allen Bncker, the "Fighting Parson,"
cried:
"Let Illinois, the home of Lincoln, the
home of Grant, the home of Logan, give
thre'e cheers for the President of the United
States."
They were given with a hearty vigor,
which inspired tbe surrounding multitude
to join in the "tiger" which as enthusiastic
veteran proposed.
As tbe Indiana contingent, in which there
were many of the members of the President's
former First Brigade, passed, the enthnsi-
asm knew no bounds, and they cheered and
cheered over and over again. The President
.bowed bis appreciation of their loyalty, but
this only inspired them to renewed cheer
ing, which continued almost as long as they
were in hearing.
UNBOUNDED ENTHUSIASM.
When the huse banner bearing the words
"U. 8. .Navy" appeared, the President
came in for another cheer, but this time
Secretary of the Navy Tracy fully shared
tbe honors that were lavished by the ex
sailors on their distinguished visitors, and
cheer after cheer went ud for Secretary
Tracy. Senator Ingalls, too, was warmly
applauded.
One of the amusing incidents of the
parade occurred when an enthusiastic
Indiana veteran, who had evidently inti
mately known the President, shouted out
from the line: "Hello, Ben; how are you,
Ben?" The President recognized the griz
zled countenance tbat greeted him, called
the veteran byname, and, bowing smilingly,
filled one heart with joy.
As tbe New Tork soldiers passed they
loudly cheered General Tracy. In quick
succession the ex-soldiers from Michigan,
Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Missouii, New Hamp
shire, New Jersey, Nebraska, Ohio, and
nearly ever other State in the Union went
by, until the end of the line passed at 1220.
In the rear came Michigan students from
the State Normal School, Emporia, and
other colleges, the Topeka High School and
ward schools, and the parochial schools.
CHILDBEN TO THE FBONT.
The children bore flags, which they
waved enthusiastically as tbey passed in
front of the President Ten thousand
school children were in the line. Among
the old veterans the honors of the day were
gained by the former Illinois soldiers, who
furnished the largest contingent in the line
of march. This honor was evidenced by tbe
presentation of a beantifnl embroidered
banner provided especially for tbe occasion.
Lunch was taken at the Copeland House,
and following it the President received the
veterans of his old brigade and State and
officials and prominent citizens. To the fair
grounds the President, Secretary Tracy,
Governor Humphrey and Senator Ingalls
proceeded in the first carriage, and were
followed in others by the other members of
his party, and distinguished citizens of
Kansas. The address of welcome at the fair
gronnds, delivered by the Governor of Kan
sas, was very brief. The President, in his
response, said:
I am sure there has been nothing seen to-day
that does not point in the direction of a higher
individual, social, State and national lire. Wbo
can look upon this vast array ot tbe soldiers
who fougbt to a victorious consummation tbe
War for the Union, without bowing his head
and bis heart in greatful reverence? Great
applause.
WORDS FOB THE SOLDIERS.
No, fellow citizens, you will exense me from
the attempt at further speech. Cries of Go on.
Goon. Ibegyou again to believe that I am
grateful, so far as your presence here has
any personal reference to myself, grateful as a
pnblic officer for this evidence ot your love and
affection for the Constitution and the country
which we all love. Great applause.
There is some grumbling in Kansas, and I
think it is because your advantages are too
great. Laughter. A single year cf disap
pointment in agricultural returns sbonld not
make you despair of tbe future or tempt you to
unsafe expedient. Life is made up ot averages,
and I think yours will show a good average.
Cries of ''Good," "Good." and cheers.
At the conclusion of the President's ad
dress there were loud cries for Senator
Ingalls, who throughout the whole day bad
been qnite as much the object of popular
ovation as the President. Yielding to the
popular demands, the President pro-tempore
of tbe United States Senate spoke as fol
lows: Governor Humphrey, Comrades of tbe G. A,
R., Ladies and Gentlemen Upon this occasion
Kansas has ontdone herself. Applause.
Whenever a Kausas man is told that a thing
is impossible, he goes and does it. Laughter
and applause. Had any one told in advance
tbat a spectacle like tbat which we see here to
day could have occurred he would have been
treated witb doubt and derision. (At this
point one corner ot tbe speakers' stand began
settling from tbe great mass of humanity upon
it, and President Harrison warned Senator
Ingalls tbat the stand was going. Women were
frightened and men rapidly vacated the stand,
thus relieving the pressure.)
INGALLS BREAKS PLATFORMS.
"This is the second platform," said Senator
Ingalls, "that I have broken down since I have
come home. Wbo will doubt that I am a man
of weight?" Laughter and applause. He
continued:
As I said, Kansas is hospitable and it gives me
great pleasure in her name and in ber behalf
to welcome tbe President of tbe United States
of America, and a member ol the Cabinet to
the confines of the "Great American Desert."
Great applause. Fellow citizens, there is, I
am happy to say, in this greetieg and saluta
tion to tbe Chief Magistrate of tbe Union no
partisanship or class. We are here not as Re
publicans, not a. Democrats, bnt as citizens of
tbe United States, and citizens of tbe State of
Kansas. There Is no State line in our greeting
and salutation. There is no point of the compass
in ourgreetingand salutation. There is no North
no South, no East, no West in our greeting
and salntation? We greet bira. as the foremost
citizen of this Republic and bid him hail and
farewell in bis journey Eastward. Great ap
plause. Ex-Governor Anthony and several other
gentlemen of distinction addressed the vast
audience before the meeting adjourned.
The President and bis party were driven
rapidly from the fair grounds to tbe special
train which pulled out promptly 'at 4
o'clock.
STOPS ALONG THE LINE.
The KansasCity committee, composed of
representatives from the municpal govern
ment headed by Mayor Holmes, and from
the Commercial Clnb and other organiza
tions, joined the party at Topeka. Among
them were Major William Warner, Post
master Nofsinger, Collector Devot, U. S.
Marshal Tracy, W. A. Wilson, E. C.
Sattlev, M. F. Lawrence and J. S. Scott.
At Lecompton, a brief stop was made, the
President bowing while the assembled
crowd cheered. No further stops were made
until the tram reached Lawrence. There
another large assemblage greeted the Presi
dent and the School children added to the
welcome by a profusion ot bouquets and the
waving of flags. Tbe President spoke
briefly, and was as follows:
PARTING INCIDENTS.
The run from tbis point to Kansas City
'was made verv rapidly and without inci
dent. Under the escort of Hon. William
Warner, Mayor Holmes and other distin
guished gentlemen and committees, the
Presidental party were driven around the
city and banqneted.
Before the conclnsion of the banquet the
President retired to visit the residence of
his brother, whose home is in Kansas City.
He is a much younger man than the Presi
dent, and, strange to say, is a Democratic
politician. This evening, after his return
from the residence of his brother, the Presi
dent was given a public reception at 8
o'clock, at the Kansas City Chamber of
Commerce. It was an enthusiastic occasion,
and thousands of people were present, Hon.
William Warner introdnced the President,
who, amid cheers, made a Bhort speech.
Curing tbe next hour tbe President was
compelled to shake hands with the multi
tude until he was completely exhaasted, and
then not half the people Jhad -gained tbe
honor they sought.
At 10 o'clock-this evening the President
and his party Jelt for St. Louis, where they
will arrive to-morrow forenoon and spend
the day.

San Francisco, October 10. The steam
ship Eelgic arrived this morning, 24 days
from Hong Kong, 15 days from Yokahoma.
Concerning the loss of the Turkish frigates
ErtougronJ, Japanese papers attribute tha
disaster to tbe explosion of the boilers
during a gale.
According to the reports of survivors who
were brought to Kobe the frigate left Yoka
homa September 15 for Kobe. On the 18th
a gale sprang up off Kisbinoski, 250 miles
from Yokahoma and a heavy sea running.
Suddenly a terrific noise was heard and
all was confusion. The men and officers
were mostly below in the berths. Those not
immediately killed rushed up to find what
remained of the vessel was foundering.
Captain Ali Bey was seen on tbe bridge for
a moment with a lamp in bis band and waa
beard to cry:
"Save yourself 1"
HUNDREDS PERISH.
Then he disappeared and was seen no,
more. Navigation Officer Nouri Bey also'
perished. The chief engineer was almost
the first to die. He went from the cabin to'
the engine room just before the explosion,
and was literally blown to atoms. The sea4
was fnll of debris. Admiral Osman Pasha
was swimming toward the shore when ha
was struck on the head by a spar and sank.
Out of a total of 600 souls only 6 officers
and 57 of the crew reached land. Many of
these are so badly injured that they are not
exnected to recover. '
Tbe vessel was an old one and was for-'-rnerly
used as a training ship. The engines'
were of English make and bore the date of
1855. The Irigate was overhauled before)
she started for Japan, and it was intended
that the most of the voyage should be made
under sail. In consequence of her going'
ashore in the Suez Canal, necessitating -docking
for repairs, and her detentfon in
quarantine at Yokahoma on account of
cholera aboard, all taking some months,'
made a change in the original plan neces
sary. HELP FOR THE SURVIVORS.
Subscriptions were opened for the relief of
the snrvivors, and tbe Japanese and Ger
man gnnboats lent all tbe assistance possi-
ble. Up to September 21 130 corpses had
been recovered, and most ol the snrvivors'
