Arriial at K.iilwuy Station.
I'pou the arrival at the Grand Cen
tral station at 11 a. m. yesterday of
the admiral and his party he was
give a hearty western welcome. Voices,
bush's and sun beat the welcome into
bis cars, and he was kept bareheaded
in bow'ms responses from the time he
was drawn from the station until he
was set down at the Auditorium An
nex. Preceded by a detachment from
the First cavalry. Illinois National
Cu.ird, brave iu braid and basins yel
low plumes, and by a corps from the
Naval lleserve Veteran association, the
admiral moved slowly through the
banks of people that iOO xlieemen
tried to keep in order. Windows alons
Fifth avenue and Jackson boulevard
all were occupied with persons who
shouted their greetings downover flags
and buntinss to add to the cries of wel
come that arose from the streets. With
the admiral rode Lieutenant Caldwell,
his personal aid: Mayor Harrison and
( 'harles I'lainoi'.doti.
M r. I'ewey Kerei e,l liy I.adien.
Before this party started for the
Auditorium Annex Mrs. Dewey was
sreeted by Mrs. Carter H.-ji'iisoii. Mrs.
r.ryan Lathrnp. and Mrs. Charles A.
I'lamondou. and escorted to the landau
of '.Mrs. Fianklin MacYeash. which
was in waitins. Tlie four ladies en
tered this, tleoise Dewey. Jr.. and Vic

of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey during
their stav liere.
i:nti:i:tainmkm of tiik i hist day
Reception l ol Ions a itrcnk fa-O.TIo n Come
Illumination and Grand I tit 11.
the admiral was hardly at the Au
ditorium Annex before the programme
of entertainment be.san. I'irst ou the
list was a breakfast for the admiral
ami Mrs. Ievey, the others at the ta
ble liein.s the members of the execu
tive and various reception, committees.
At p. m. there was a reception by
tin' admiral to representative Canadian-Americans,
ami at nisht society
was present at the stand ball in the
Auditorium. A reception by the mayor,
the patronesses, and the managers of
the ball opened this function. The may
or was at the risht of the receiving
line, then Mrs. Arthur Caton, chairman
of the patronesses, then Mrs. Harrison,
then Mrs. Hryan Lathrop. then the
patronesses and the wives of the man
asers. Admiral and Mrs. Iiewey, together
with the guests 'f the city ami their
wives, entered the ball room from the
door back of the south second tier of
boxes. When the guests of the city
reached the mayor, Mrs. Caton and tho
roceivius party. Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey were presented. Admiral Dew
ey then took his place beside the may
or, and Mrs. Dewey stood beside Mrs.
Caton. When the suests of the city
had passed the entrance to the floor
from the lobby the committees and
guests fell in line immdiatly behind
and passed the reviewing party, each
being presented in turn. All who de
sired were thus afforded au opportunity
of personally meeting Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey.
What of the ball? That it was a
grand affair everybody knows. Like
the historic one at ltrussells nearly loo
years ago Chicago
"Had gathered then.
Her beauty and her chivalry and light.
The lamps shone o'er fair women and
brave men."
To describe it would require col
umns, if justice were done, But the
ball was not the only thing going on.
Outside there was entertainment for
tlme who did not '"have a white tie."
This was an illumination of Michigan
aenne aud Lake Front park from
Twelfth street to Van Bureti.
More than l."V.0H) electric lights have
been used in the display, and the mem
bers of the committee on illumination
exhausted their ingenuity fofproduciug j
striking effects. Festoons of parti-'
colored lights, clustered in fantastic
shapes and figures, with brilliant
streamers radiating from centerpieces,
glowing draperies for the Logan mon
ument and building fronts all com
bined to produce luminous effects of
singular beauty. The designers of the
lake front illuminations assert that it
surpasses the illuminations of the court
of honor at the fall festival. If it does
not outdo anything of the kind ever at
tempted iu the country.
When Mrs. Dewey arIvcd here sho
carried a great bunch of violets sent
to lier at Carrett, Ind., from Chicago.
Mrs. Dwey was of as much interest
to many of the spectators as the ad
miral. She was cheered when she
fvalkeJ out from the platform at the
station to her carriage.

Washington, April 30. A brief was
filed Saturday in the supreme court

VERY MUCH LIKE THE NEW.
VTtQfn (Juarrfl Orrr Politics and Series
of Scru; Kent It.
Boise. Ida.,. May 1. A story of a very
unusual proceeding comes from Weiser.
A good deal of feeling had been worked
up over a local election in which the
women who can vote in this state took
a deep interest. On election day the
women were thick about the polls, and
two of them. Mrs. Martinson and Miss
Harris, indulged in a heated discussion
over the merits of their respective can
didates. The argument was brought
to a close by Mrs. Martinson saying:
"If I was running for ollice and I
found out a withercd-up, china-faced
hag like you was working for me, I
would not vote for myself."
The words had scarcely left her lips
when Miss Harris reached over and
clawed the veil and a lot of skin from
Mrs. Martinson's face. Mrs. Martin
son responded by giving her antagonist
a resounding slap iu the face. The
women then clinched, and such hair
pulling and scratching was never be
fore witnessed in that usually quiet
village. It wa sail over in few sec
onds. The combatants were separated
and led off, their faces zig zagged with
scratches.
Each woman had the other arrested,
anil Mrs. Martinson's trial came ou
first. A woman jury heard the testi
mony, and retired to deliberate. Be
fore a great while the bailiff heard
screaming inside the jury room. Forc
ing the door he witnessed a free-for-all
mix-up among the jurors, who, it de-velop-.'d,
were strong friends of the wo
man under arrest. The officer quieted
the jurors after a great ileal of trouble,
and they filed into court a sorry-look
ing aggregation, reporting a disagree
ment. The bailiff picked up a bucket
ful of hatpins, switches, ribbons, and
other feminine adornments. The judge
reprimanded the women and turned
both the prisoners loose.
Feeling still runs high in Weiser, it
Is said, and the attendance at church
socials has been reduced about one-half.

Washington, May 1. Brigadier Gen
eral Merriaiu was again on the stand
in the Coeur d'Alene investigation yes
terday, with Attorney liobertsoti con
ducting the cross-examination.
" Would you consider it right," asked
Kobcrtson, -that federal troops force
men at the point of the bayonet to pro
tect tho property of the mine owners
and that similar protectiaou be with
held from the men?"
"I would use just as much power
and just as much influence," replied
(Jen. Merriam, "to have mine owners
observe their obligations as to com
pel the mine men to observe theirs."
When Kobcrtson sought to show that
the war department had not been suf
ficiently advised as to the permit sys
tem. Gen. Merriam. said that was for
the War Department to determine.
General Corrects an Interview.
General Merriam was questinoned as
to an interview representing that at a
meeting of the citizens in the Ceour
d'Alene he stated that congress
should pass a law to deal with unions
as criminal organizations. He said
he was glad of the opportunity to
correct the errors of this alleged inter
view. He had not. he said, mentioned
congress, nor did the interview si
stale, lie stated that what he had said
at that meeting was iu stubs I a lice,
"You ought to have a conspiracy law
which makes the action of these people
as narrated by Mr. Sovereign i-i his
piper crimes punishable by law."
He also stated that the remedy for
the trouble was iu the state.
Charge That Was Made by Gom pert.
"Did not Mr. Gompers at Denver
charge you with making the state
mentV" asked Kobcrtson.
"I never saw Mr. Gompers in my
life." answc.ed Gem r.il Mer.iam.
Kobcrtson stated that in an address
at Denver Gompers had nn.de a charge
of this character. General Merriam
said he had repeatedly stated that lie
never pronounced the unions of the
Couer d'Alene district criminal organ
izations. To Keprescntativc Disk Gen
eral Merriam said he did not dlflip
prove of lalior organizations as such,
for like other social and charitable or-1
ganizations they accomplished much
good within their legitimate sphere.
But he expnssed the optniou that radi
cal leadership in the Coeur d'Alene
had diverted these organizations from
their beneficial purposes. General
Merrjam completed his testimony dur
ing the afternoon and was excused.

sary machinery, which he would set up

perls in lace making, and his purpose
in seeing the treasury otlicials was to

He was informed by the secretary
that the contract labor laws of the
I'nited States inaile spec! lie exception
iu the cases of workmen to be em
ployed in an industry new to this
country, and as lace-making undoubt
edly was a new industry here there

Frankfort. Ky., Aprli .'i. Governor
Y. S. Taylor has returned here from
Washington, and spent yesterday at
the executive mansion with his fam
ily. He was not expected to arrive
till last evening, and but few people
were aware of his presence in the city
till then, when lie appeared at the rail
road station and took the Chesapeake
ami Ohio train to 1ouisville. He was
accompanied Lome from Washington
by Mrs. Taylor and by K. J. Hampton,
secretary of the Republican state cen
tral committee.
'1 he presence of Governor Taylor in
tlds city was Iviiowu to the local offi
cers and to those in charge of the
prosecution and the fact that a war
rant of arrest was not served upon him
is now construed to mean that the in
dictment in this case will be held up
and no process issued ou It for several
days. The indictment was returned in
open court the day after those against
Fin'.ey. Powers. Cultou and others were
returned.

GOVERNOR TANNER'S CASE.
What Dr. Nicholas Senn I Quoted as Say

Chicago, April CO. The Chronicle
quotes Dr. Nicholas Senn, the distin
guished surgeon, with reference to the
case of Governor Tanner, as follows:
'Governor Tanner's chances for recov
ery are slight. His malady Is a dan
gerous one and in his present condi
tion an oieratkiu can be performed
only as a last resort. Whether even
that will save his life is doubtful. The
governor knows the seriousness of his
affliction, is bearing up heroically and
will submit to an operation if the next
few days' developments indicate that
it is imperative. His strong constitu
tion and wonderful will power are
hopeful factors."

Hope Dewey Says dl Op
pose Bryan at Kansas City.
Philadelphia, April 30: Interest haa
been aroused in the approaching Top
ulist national convention which will be
held in Cinciunati May 1), owing to tha
possibility of that party turning its
back upon W. J. Bryan. Accordug to
Wharton Barker, of this city, who has
received the indorsement of some of
the Populist state conventions for pres
ident, there will be between SO0 and 1,
IXX) delegates at the Cincinnati con
vention, the majority eoining from the
south, west and central west. Asked
as to the effict of his nomination for
tuo piPsidoncy hy tue Populists on
Bryan's candidacy Barker said: "There
... ,,o inn.,r , .iivr t ,i,a ,m.i
of any one who considers the situation
that at least 1,500,000 of the 2,000,000
Populist votes cast for Mr. Bryan in
INPG will this year be lost to him and
oast for the presidential candidate of
the People's party. The Democrat
will probably give the nomination to
some one else and thus invite the gold
Democrats back into the fold.
Itarker Says He Has Hopes.
Barker scouted the Idea of a strong
opposition to President McKinley at
the Republican convention In this city.
He asserted that the president's friends
control the machinery of the party and
that he would be renominated. Barker
says he thinks the Populists have a
fighting chance to win the presidential
tight. With McKinley, Bryan and
Barker as the candidates he believes
the former, will win, Imt with Bryan,
not in the race McKinley's prospecta
would be less bright. "I think." said
Barker, "Bryan Is the man the Repub
licans would like nominated.
Dewey Will He Bryan's Opponent.
New York, April 30. A special to
The World from Washington says,
referring to the departure of the ad
miral and Mrs. Dewey toChicago: "The
admiral does not desire to give any
color of political significance to his
trip. 'This la purely a social visit, he
said. 'I am but tilling engagements
made months ago and long before I
gave any thought to being a candi
date.' " 'Will you Issue a statement defin
ing your views on the public questions
before leaving Washington?"
" 'No, I see no reason for any hurry
in this matter. I have announced that
1 would be a cadidate and have an
nounced that I am a Democrat. Then,
too, it is known that I will be an op
ponent of Mr. Bryan at Kansas City,
which should suggest plainly where I
stand on the vital issues. I am not
prepared to say just when I will make
a statement.' "
RELMONT HACK FROM EUROPE.
Gives His Opinion or the Political Situa
tion He Observes.
New York, April 30. O. P. II. Bel.
mont returned on the Lucania Satur
day from an eight weeks' tour in En
rope. He said to a reporter: "I was as
touuded to hear of Admiral Dewey's
candidacy. 1 do not think from any
standpoint of politics that theadmiral's
bid for the presidency is important.
As a matter of fact, I think
the nominations are already made. The
respective tickets this year will be
headed by the same meu as in 1800
McKinley and Bryan. It is my candid
opinion that should Admiral Dewey
run as au independent candidate he
will draw more votes from McKinley
than from Bryan. As between Bryan
and Dewey no true Democrat would
vote for Dewey, forjt is well known
that Dewey is a Republican at heart.
"I do not regard finance as an issue
in the presidential struggle of this
year; it is purely academic. The mat
ter has iieen practically shelved by the
action of the present congress. I do
not think public interest centers on the
financial question. It rests rather on
Imperialism and the trusts. It is up
c.ti this line that the campaign of IWrt)
Will be f.iugnt.
"I -. ru v rv strongly of the opin.ou
that the attitude of the administration
toward Porto Rico will prove injurious
to the Republican party as well as to
Porto Rico. A tariff for rev

000.000 a year. Taxation has been so
increased that it yields a revenue of
more than $SOO.ooo.OOO a year. In order
to offset the difference between $4"0,
000,000 and $KOO.OOO,000 a year the Re
publican party indulges in unnecessary
wars in Asia in order that $tsH),000,000
a year may be raised by taxation and
distributed among the faithful work
ers, manufacturers and supporters of
the Republican party.
"I consider the battleground of the
campaign of this year to be centered In
the states of Indiana, Illinois, Ob!o
and New York. As to the Boer war
Belmont replied: "I do not think that
this is a matter on which the conven
tions of either party should say any
thing." MARRIAGE WAS IN HASTE.
