strong, and she fonnd the task of standing
in line and receiving the public so great
that she was compelled to retire at the time
set for the public reception, and seek a more
comfortable place in the rear of the receiving
party, where she could rest.
The line of people extended from the
portico through the grounds of the Ex
ecutive Mansion and up Pennsylvania ave
nue for about a block. In numbers the
crowd compared favorably with previous

THE FIRST EMIGRANT
To Land at Uncle Sam's New Reception
Bnildinir "as a Girl Annie Moore's
Landing a Memorable One Colonel
Join Weber and Ills Gallantry.
Nnw York, Jn. 1. Special Annie
.Moore, a reu-cneeKea, laughing Irish girl
from County uoric, enjoyed to-day the dis
tinction of being the first emigrant to
land at Ell s Island and pass through the
spacious six-towered building into the land
of the hustler. Shecame to the Ellis
Island dock with 147 other immigrants,
mostly Celtic, on the side-wheeler John E.
Moore. All arrived on the Guion liue
steamship Nevada.
The moment the side-wheeler hove in
sight all the bells and whistles on the island
were started going and the entire popula
tion or the island began cheering. The dis
cord was kept up until the little Irish lass
stepped ashore. She found Colonel John
IJ. Weber and nearly all the other immigra
tion officials waiting to receive her. Colonel
Weber gallantly gave her his arm aud
escorted her up the wide stairway.
He made a little speech welcoming Annie
to America, congratulating her on her luck
in betas the first emigrant to land on Fed
eral ground, and hoping that she might
make some young Irish-American happy
Then the Colonel dazzled Annie by drop
ping a shining new American eagle into her
palm.
Annie's 147 fellow-voyagers were regis
tered within 15 minutes. Ellen King, of
the County Mayo, was the first emigrant
to buy a railroad ticket. She is going to
Dorchester, Minn. The City of Paris' steer
age passengers and a throng of Italians who
came on the Victoria were aleo landed.

I
OUR TROOPS W PERIL.
Fort Einggold and 150 Brave Men
Against 1,500 of Garza's Band.
ANXIOUS FOR NEWS OF A BATTLE.
Dissatisfied Mexicans Waiting for Pros
pects for Success
TO FLOCK TO THE REBELS' STANDARD
San Antonio, Jan. 1. Garza and his
followers are in Tamaulipas, Mexico, 600
strong. The alarm on the border is becom
ing intense. There are many startling ru
mors in circulation concerning the fate of
the United States troops concentrated in
Starr and Duval counties, in which section
Garza has establisned a large force.
He is known to have a force of 500 desper
ate men, and the 1,000 Mexican troops who
are reported to have murdered and deserted
General Lorenzo Garcia, commander at
Mier, Mexico, have made their way to
Garza's stronghold on the Texas side. Their
united forces would thus give Captain John
G. Bourke and his 150 United States troops
a hard fight.
General Stanley and the other military
authorities are very uneasy over not re
ceiving any information from the seat of
war during the past 48 hours. The locality
where the field operations are now supposed
to be carried on is fully 120 miles from a
telegraph station.
Fort Ringgold's Imminent Peril.
It would not be at all impossible for
Garza, with a force of 1,200 men, to capture
Fort Ringgold and the whole force of
United States troops in that section of the
frontier. He has threatened on several oc
casions to take Fort Ringgold if it became
necessary for him to secure food and mili
tary supplies. If opportunity has occurred
it is not improbable to believe that he has
executed his threats.
General Stanley will send two more
troops of cavalry to the scene of the dis
turbance early to-morrow morning. If it
becomes necessary additional iroops will be
sent to the frontier from the other military
departments.
The last advices were from Captain
Wheeler, commanding at Fort Ringgold,
who was on the eve ot joining the company
of Captain Hardie, First Lieutenant Beach
and Second Lieutenant Langhorn, together
with Brooks' Texas Bangers, for an attack
upon Garza with 250 men in Starr county.
It is believed the poor telegraph service on
the border has been paralyzed by the wires
being cut. It is not known from this fact
whether an engagement has occurred or not.
A Thousand Soldiers iutho Field.
Four troops of cavalry, all told, have
been sent from this point, swelling the
total number of United States troops in the
turbulent territory to about 1,000. Garza
has spies in this city who keep him fully
posted of every maneuver of the troops, and,
if the rumored revolt of the Mexican sol
diers at Mier to join his standard proves
correct, it is believed that the population of
Northern Mexico will flock to his standard
rapidly.
The recent persecutions of the Catholic
clergyman has heightened the disaffection
toward the Diaz Government, and all that
fieople are waiting for to join any revo
utionary movement is the prospect of its
success.
A dispatch from the City of Mexico says:
Telegrams received to-day say that the force
of Mexican revolutionists, which a few
days ago attacked a body of United States
soldiers, numbered only "ten men.
The offers of Americans to supply the
needy Mexicans with corn have stimulated
the Spaniards to make similar offers with
the object of out-vying the generosity of
the Americans.
The Rattle Has Been Foneht.
Late this afternoon news was received of
another engaeeraent between Garza's men
and the United States and rangera
who have been in pursuit for several days.
The telegram of Captain Hardie to Gen.
Stanley was sent from some station on the
Texan Mexican Railroad in Starr or Duvall
county. It was so garbled in transmissiou
that nothing could be learned from it,
except that an engagement had occurred,
and the troops are in a perilous position. A
full account is expected to-morrow.
EVADING THE TAX MAN.
CHURCH SITE CONSECRATED
MAKE IT RELIGIOUS.
TO
Unique Services In New lork on New
Tear's Day Bishop Potter's Significant
Address The Chapel of the Old Asylum
to He Occupied for the Present.
New York, Jan. 1. Special. Bishop
Potter, 50 laymen and 15 clergymen of the
Protestant Episcopal Church formally
occupied the site of the new Cathedral of
St John the Evangelist, this morning, and
consecrated it to religious uses, so that there
will be no danger of the tax collector levy
ing an assessment on the property in the
future. Services were held in the chapel at
the east end of the old Leake and Watts
orphan house.
The audience was a fashionable one. Each
person had received a personal invitation
from Bishop Potter. He made a very short
address, lie spote particularly of the fact
that the idea ot building a great cathedral
had originated with his predecessor, and
that the former Bishop Potter had planned
the building with Rev. Dr. Eigenbrodt.
He mentioned indiiectlyonly, the necessity
for the meeting of occupation and the con
tinuance of the services weekly, in order
that the property should be set aside as for
religious uses. Concluding, he appealed to
his audience to show a hearty interest in
the continuation of the services, and asked
for a substantial offering, to be placed to
the credit of the building fund.
The rest of the services cousisted of
special prayers selected by the Bishop from
the form for the consecration of churches,
and of singing by the choir of St. Andrew's
Church. It was concluded with holy com
munion. Rev. E. H. Cleveland has been appointed
acting canon of the cathedral, and he will
conduct services every Sunday morning at
9:30 o'clock For the present it will be
necessary to use the chapel of the old
asylum. It is believed that the ground will
be broken for the cathedral in a few months,
aud as'soon as any part of it can be occupied
the services will be transferred to it

A Chinaman Who Objected to a Noisy New
Year Is Roughly Handled.
Chicago, Jan. L Five hundred boys
armed with tin. horns attempted to drive a
Chinaman, Eec "Wall, into the lake a little
after 12 o'clock this morning. The boys
had obtained the horns to assist in welcom
ing in the newear, but the merry-makers

and blew a blast Lee retaliated by smash

Celestial. A voice in the crowd shouted,
"Kill the heathen;" another, "Throw him
in the lake."
Hardly had the latter proposition been
made before it was being shouted over and
over by hundreds.' The Chinaman started
to run but -was quickly flanked ahd driven,

STRAYED IN A TRANCE.
THE
MISSING PRINCETON FOOTBALL
CAPTAIN FOUND.
He Wnndered Out of Washington in a
Dazed Condition Peculiar Effects or
an Accident at the New York Polo
Grounds Safe at Home.
Washington, D. C, Jan.l. Special.
News that Ralph H. Warren, the missing
Princeton football captain, had turned up
alive and well at his home in New York
City was received here this evening by
William A. Torrey, young Warren's uncle,
who has been prosecuting the search. A
telegram from Warren's father read :
Ralph just arrived, alone: well, safe and
sound. D. A. XYakrxs.
Another telegram to Mr. Frazer, the gen
tleman at whose house Warren was a guest,
stated that on his arrival at his home young
Warren had appeared in a dazed condition.
An older brother of Warren had just ar
rived here when the telegrams came, having
come on from Toronto, Canada, to assist in
the search. He and Mr. Torrey at once pre
pared to return to New York.
Both gentlemen expressed to The Dis
rATCH reporter their belief that Ralph's
strange misadventure will prove to have
been caused by the development of the in
juries he received in the last football match
at the New York polo grounds. The older
brother said that his mother had confided to
him to-day the fact that she had secretly
worried a ereat deal about Ralph's condi
tion after the shock that seemed to snap
something in the back of his neck.
The theory is that young Warren, on
walking out toward Rockville, fell into a
dazed condition and lost his way; that he
aisiiKea to return to his mends in tnat
condition, and determined to get home as
quickly as he could find his way to a railway
station. Mr. Torrey and his detectives had
been on the missing man's trail several
times. They could follow it up to Wednes
day night, wien it led them into a pine
grove gulley near the zoological park, out
in the Rock creek region.
Mounted Policeman Cabe spoke to the
young man, who had his hat drawn over his
eyes and gave no intelligible answer.
CHIEF BUSHYHEAD DEAD.
The Celebrated Cherokee Boss Cashes In
His Chips A Famous Deadlock Re
called A Well-Educated Indian With a
Record, Who leaves a Wife or Culture.
Tahlequah, I. T Jan. L Special.
Ex-Chief Bushyhead, of the Cherokee Na
tion, died last night The death of Bushy
head, following closely that of Chief Mayo,
who succeeded him as the principal official
of the nation in 1887. recalls the stirring
time of the famous deadlock at Tahlequah.
The Nation was divided into two factions,
known as the Downings and Nationals, and
for months there waB a complete standstill
in its affairs over the matter of Bushyhead's
successor. He had held the office of Prac
tical Chief for eight years, and was identi
fied with the Nationals, whose candidate
was Mr. Rabbit Bunch. Joel B. Mayo was
the candidate of the Downing party for the
Chieftainship, and the friends of Mayo and
Bunch gathered in strong force at the Capi
tal, and for weeks armed men watched the
proceedings of the council.
The contest was finally decided without
bloodshed in favor of Mavo. whom Bushv-
head had all along declared to be rightfully
entitled to the Chieftainship, though be
longing to the opposing faction. '
Chief Bushyhead was CO years of age.
He enjoyed good advantases ibr an educa
tion in the missionary schools of Tennessee
before the Cherokee went "West He went
with the Cherokee delegation in 1841 to
"Washington, and while there saw Har
rison inaugurated President. He com
pleted his education in New Jersey. He
came to the Cherokee Nation and was clerk
of that nation up to the time the California
gold fever broke out in 1849; that carried
him off, and he remained on the Pacific
slope 19 years.
He was in the employ of Judge Terry
when the latter killed Brbderick in the fa
mous duel. Coming back to the Nation he
was elected treasurer in 1871. He served
two terms in that capacity. At the close of
his second term he was made the candidate
of the Nationals for principal Chief.
Bushyhead's wife is a highly cultured
lady, a native of South Carolina, aud re
lated to a former Senator from that State.

A PIVOTAL CONTEST.
The Bye-Election to Fill Hartington's
Parliamentary Shoes
CONCEDED AS A DECISIVE TEST.
Both Parties Straining" Every Nerve, hut
the -Liberal Leads.
OPENING FOR A NEEDY PRINCELING
tCOPTRIGHT. 1S52, BY TOE NEW YORK ASSOCIATED
PRESS.
London, Jan. 1. No bye-election during
the existence of the present Government
has approached in interest and vital import
ance the coming contest for the Rossendsle
seat, vacatgd by Lord Hartington. Both
parties, fully alive to the fact that the loss
of this seat will be accepted throughout the
country as an almost decisive test of the
fate of the Ministry in the coming elec
tions, will strain their resources in money
and local influence, and be alert in the use
of every known electioneering art in order
to compass a triumph.
Lord Hartington held the seat partly in
family interest, partly on account of per
sonal popularity, aud partly as a Unionist
The vote will decide whether the electorate,
which is fairly representative of the whole
of Lancashire, is on purely political grounds
Gladsconian or dissident. The dissidents
will throw their full strength into the con
test. Sir Thomas Brooke, the dissident can
didate, is Lord Hartington's own choice.
Gladstonlans Stron; in Speaker.
Joseph Chamberlain, Sir Henry James,
T. W. Russell, Mr. Bright and a number of
other Unionist members of the House of
Commons will speak in the canvass. The
Gladstonians already muster 25 members of
the House of Commons working for their
candidate, Mr. Maden, who is a young and
fluent speaker, almost an orator, with strong
family connections in the district. Mr.
Schnadhorst will reinforce his 25 speakers
by Mr. Broadhurst, M. P., the trades-union
wire-puller, and Mr. Burt, M. P., the
miners' member, also a factory delegate.
Lord Hartington's valedictory to the
electors has no special bearing on the con
test. He says that he does not regret the
rupture with his old Liberal colleagues, as
it saved the country from a violent con
stitutional change; that the statesmen whom
the disruption of the Liberals placed in
power have proved to be able and vigorous
administrators, passing practical and bene
ficent measures; and that he trusts that
Rossendale will continue to support the dis
sident party. In reality the Unionists
dread the issue, a rapid canvass of the dis
trict already made having disclosed a sur
prising Gladstonian bias.
Tho Future Dake ot Devonshire.
Victor Cavendish, who will succeed f o
the Dukedom of Devonshire, if Lord Hart
ington does not marry, and w ho -was re
cently elected without opposition to the
West Derby seat vacated by the death of
his father, Lord Edward Cavendish, was
the first nominee for the Rossendale seat,
but his youth and the danger of risking his
present seat caused the withdrawal of his
name. Intimate friends hold that the Duke
will never marry.
The explosion at Dublin Castle yesterday
has led to a revival of reports that Fenian-
lsm is again in active force. An American
I emisary .is,said ,to, b,e re?a"'zS"K .!he
country circles and centers. The McCarthy
ites have attributed the regrowth of secret
societies to the prompting of the Parnell
ites, but no prominent Parnellite is known
to be associated in the movement. The Dub
lin police aflect to believe that the League
and the Gaelic Athletic Clubs have become
the tools of conspiracy.
Regarding the caue of the explosion
there'is no official decision. Mr. Candcll,
Inspector of Explosives, and Sir Charles
Cameron re-examined the place of the ex
plosion to-day, but failed to discover any
thing upon which to base a definite opinion.
Now the Workmen Are Suspected.
The workmen repairing the rooms are
suspected because they were refused a holi
day yesterday. The balance of official opin
ion remains entirely against the theory of a
serious plot. The suspected workmen will
be examined to-morrow.
The funeral of Prince Victor of Hohen-lohe-Langenburg
will take place Monday
at Sunningdale and will be devoid of cere
mony. His death leaves a vacancy in the
governorship ot "Windsor Castie, which po
sition is destined for another needy German
princeling.
The court circle is interested in the posi
tion of the deceased's children. "When he
married Miss Seymour the Queen refused to
recognize the wife as a Princess, but the
two were admitted to court as Count and
Countess Gleichen. Similarly, when the
Duke of Richmond's sister married Prince
Edward of Saxe-Weimar, they were only
recognized as Count and Countess Dernburg.
The marriage of Princess Beatrice to
Prin6e Henry of Battcnburg obliged the
Queen to concede to the wives of Prince
Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and Prince
Edward of Saxe-Weimar the rank of Prin
cess and with the privilege of standing in
line behind royalties at receptions.
New Tear's Observance in London.
The advent of the new year was not much
noticed here. Of course, the usual mid
night religions services were held. The
wild mob accustomed to orgies around St.
Paul's Church ushering in the year was less
rowdyish than-usu.il, the police checking
its exuberance and the church authorities
abandoning the playing of the bells. The
Queen's New Year gifts to the needy ser
ants of Windsor Castle, Osborne House and
other royal domains consisted of beef, cloth
ing and coal.
Princess Victoria, of Hawaii, who has
been educated in England, will go to Wcll

education.

New York, Jan. 1. Special Col
lector Hendricks, in the estimation of Re
publicans, is now a figure in the party in
New York State. As the third Col
lector of the Port during Harrison's
administration it is apparent to Republicans
that Mr. Hendricks could do almost about
as he pleases in his office. It was said to
day that Mr. Harrison 'could not afford on
any circumstances to have Mr. Hendricks
retire from his place. Mr. Hendricks ap
preciates the strength of his position.
Colonel Erhardt was greatly troubled by
the special agents. They had their own
schemes to work, and thev were powerful
in his day. Fassett was not long enough
in office to run up against these
people. But Hendricks is -the man,
according to the Republicans, who can now
dictate the policy ot the New York Custom
House. Should lie demand that the special
treasury agents stop their interference with
the affairs of this port, they would have to
stop it. On this point an eminent Republic
an said to-day:
Possibly Mr. Hendricks scarcely appre
ciates his power, but I believe that he does.
He Is a partisan Republican. There is no
mistake about that: and I believe that he is
longing to ascertain the means by
which he can circumnavigate the civil ser
vice rules and give tho natron.igo now
enjoyed by the Democrats to the Kepuolic
ans. 1 believe that if Governor Flower turns
out the Cornell holdovers, Hendricks will
turn out every Democrat In tho custom
houso. He will do it in spite of tho
objections of his personal friends. The Demo
crats in tho Federal service arej protected
by the civil service Uw. Frank Hatton
and other influential Republicans demand
the retirement of Thcodoio Koosevelt.
Thore is nothing in the civil service laws
that demands an explanation for a removal'
Hendricks, from the day ho entered the of
fice as Collector of the Port, has had
frequent conferences with the local civil
service uoaru. l nat uoaru muse not in any
way setup itself against Mr. Hendricks, Ho
will conform to thb laws, but he will not
fiermit the local civil service board to run
ilm, and neither will he permit Theodoro
Roosevelt to piny the high-muck-a-mncK,
and as for the special tieasury agents and
their schemes, ho will do what he thinks la
wise.
It was even said that Collector Hendricks
was now powerful enough to sugeest any
changes at the appraisers' stores that may
be necessary.

MISS CLEVELAND NOT IHSANE.
She Will Be Discharged From the Asylum
Unless New Proof Is Troduced.
New York, Jan. l.Sjiecial Unless
evidence si insanity soon develops in the
case of Miss Pauline Cecelia Cleveland, who
is in a private insane asylum known as
St. Vincent's retreat, in Harrison, West
chester county, she will be discharged.
The sisters in charge of the retreat are un
able to discover any evidence of insanity
thus far. Miss Cleveland has been an in
mate of the institution since December 1(5.
The superintendent, Sister Ironoma, said
to-day that she had discovered no sign of
insanity, and did not believe that her
patient was insane. It was Dossible that
Miss Cleveland was subject to epileptic
convulsions, although the had given no
evidence of it
The superintendent has aheady notified
Rev. F. M. Clendenin, who caused the niece
of Horace Greeley to be committed to the
retreat, that unless evidences of in
sanity appear soon, the young
wonun must be removed. Sister Ironoma
described her patient as a remarkably
brilliant and lovable you woman.
Miss Cleveland is excessively nervous and
has a horror of having her
case before the public. Consequently
she did not wish to talk with a reporter.
The sister thought her case called for care
ful nnrsing and tender, loving care, more
than for the treatment of" an asylum.

PENNED INTO A POND;'
Forty Non-Union Men Are Driven
Into a Wet Swamp by
A MOB OP ARKANSAS STRIKERS.
The Sleeper in Which the Victims Bode Is
Cut From the Train.
WAITING T0K A CHANCE TO ESCAPE
Little Rock, Jan. 1. A carload of
"scab" railway employes at Argenta, who
were en route from Indianapolis and Louis
ville to Aransas Pass to relieve the strike
on the San Antonio and Aransas Pass
Railway, were mobbed to-day. A tele
gram had been received here ordering
breakfast for the party, and in this way
the information was received by the rail
way employes at Argenta and Little Rock.
Conductor McElroy, who had charge of
the train carrying the special Southern Pa
cific sleeper, in which the party was travel
ing, received a" telegram at a point above
Poplar Bluffs, Mo., signed by Roadmaster
Green, at Argenta, asking him to cut ont
the car at Poplar Bluffs.
The Telegram Was a Bogus One.
The order seemed so unaccountable that
McElroy telegraphed back to Green for
further orders. Green was astonished at
the inquiry, being utterly ignorant of snch
an order, and telegraphed McElroy to bring
the car on to Arsenta.
At 10:30 this morning a crowd of several
hundred men, chiefly railroad employes,
were at the Fort Smith and Iron Mountain
crossing when the "Cannonball" from St
Louis steamed in. No sooner had the train
arrived when a burly man with a black
slouch hat cried out to the crowd :
"Cut the hose and we'll drop the car out"
A hundred men rushed to do his bidding.
The hose was cut, and the car, with another
sleeper in the rear, were cut out. When
the train started for Little Rock, the mob
having neglected to cut the bell cord, the
engineer's bell rang and he stopped the
train.
Men Driven Into a Swsmp.
By this time all the engine whistles in
the yard began to blow, and it seemed as if
Bedlam had broken loose. A hundred men
rushed into the fated sleeper, driving the
occupants, some 40 telegraph operators,
machinists and brakemen, from the car and
into the swamps 100 feet beyond. Most of
them were driven into a pond, through
which they floundered, followed by their
infuriated pursuers.
lhe sleepers were recoupled to the tram
and it crossed the river into Little Rock,
where another crowd of men boarded the
car, and with knives cut to pieces all the
baggage of the unfortunate "scabs," tossing
it through the car windows into the yards.
J. H. Littlefield, in charge of the party
of "scabs, " and several of his companions
who escaped the mob, having taken refuge
in thp rear sleeper, took a train for Texas,
while the other members of the party are
hidden in the swamps awaiting an opportu
nity to escape. The railroad authorities are
enraged at these proceedings, while the
various labor railroad unions are strong in
their sympathy for their striking brothers.
