PRESIDENT CLEVELAND SPEAKS.
Be AdrtrcMes the Bnnlnein Men at
the Commercial Exchange and
Ilcvlews the Great Military
Parade.
The Great Celebration.
Pnii.ADKi.i'iiiA , Pa. , Soot. 10. The day
opened bright and clear , and since daybreak
people have been astir. The sounds of fife
and drum early told that preparations were
being made for the grand street demonstra
tion of the nation's protectors. Nearly thirty
thousand soldiers passed In view before the
chief magistrate and high officers of this and
other governments before noon , and at their
head rode General Sheridan. There are
at least halt a million strantrers within the
city's gates to-day. Not a single accident of
a serious nature marred the occasion.
'Re president was escorted by the first city
troop ot cavalry from Lafayette hotel to the
commercial exchange , where a reception was
tendered him. Members of the commercial ,
stock , drug , grocers and Importers , maritime ,
petroleum , lumbermen , textile nndoolex -
ahangrs4knd of the board of trade had as
sembled In the large ballon the third floor.
On the arrival of the presidential party they
were accorded hearty cheers. The
president of the commercial exchange
then Introduced the president , who
said : "lam glad to have the opprtuulty to
meet so large a representation ot the busi
ness men of Philadelphia. It Is well that wo
should n t entirety forget. In the midst of
our centennial jubilee , that the aim and pur
pose of good government tend after all the
advancement ot the material Interests of the
people , and Increase of their trade and com
merce. It has sometimes occurred to me that
In the hurry and rush ot business there
might well oeinf used a little more patriotism
than we are wont to see , and a little
more recognition ot the fact that
wholesome political sentiment Is
closely related not only to general good ,
but to the general success of business. Of
course our citizens engaged In business are
( julck to see the bearing of any policy which
the government may adopt , as It directs their
personal success and their accumulations ,
but 1 would Ilico to see that broad and pa
triotic sentiment among them which can nee
bejond their peculiar personal Interests ,
and which can recognize that the
advancement of the entire country Is
the object for which they may well strive ,
even though It results In the diminution ol
constantly Increasing prollts. And must we
always look for the political opinions of
our business men precisely where they sup
pose their Immediate pecuniary advantage Is
lound. But how vain it Is to hope for the
eradication of sellish motives In the affairs
of life. But I am reminded that we celebrate
to-day the triumph of patriotism over selfish
ness. Will any ono say that the concessions
were not well made or that we are not to-day
in lull enjoyment of the blessings resulting
from a due regard tor all conflicting Interests
represented by thu different states which
were united 100 years ago. 1 believe the
complete benefits promised to the people of
our form of government can be secured by
the exercise of the same spirit of tolerance
for each others' rights and Interests In which
It had Its birth. This spirit will prevail
when the business men of the country
cultivate political thoughtswhen they cease
to eschew partlclpatation in political action ,
and when such thought and action is guided
by better motives than purely sellish and ex
clusive bcuollt , I am of tlio opinion that there
is no place In the country where such a con
dition can be so properly and successfully
maintained as here , among the enlightened
and enterprising business men of Ph.lla.tel
phla. "
Alter his speech President Cleveland hold
a reception , assisted by Secretary Bayard
ana Secretary Fahchltd , ex-Prrsldont
Haves , Governor Beaver , Mayor I'eltor , A.

made. Some wore walking with the
aid of crutches and all of them wearing
on their visairos tlio unerring finger
marks of time. They were a picture of con

coded them. During the time they were pass

his head uncuviucd and answered each salute
us It was given. Outers bad previously been
issued by the department commander ot thu
Grand Army that only post commanders
should salute * This was not strictly observed ,
howoNer , and many of these of the rank and

Correspondence Made Fuhllo About

NEW YORK , Sept , 10. Letters were made
public to-night rezarding the declination of
Mrs. President CUneland of the invitation to
present certain flags to the fire department of
this city on the ground that the president
himself was not also Invited. The first Is
from President Bcekman , of the board of
aldermen , to President Cleveland ,
saying In substance that the matter has
beun misinterpreted by a portion of the pub
lic and assuring thu president that In noth
ing could the city be less wanting than
welcome nnd hospitality to the fullest meas
ure to one whom It will always delight to
honor ( meaning the president. ) President
Cleveland replied at length , lecognUIng the
misapprehension nndlsaylng that neither
Mrs. Cleveland or himself had to | ) slightest
Idea of any discourtesy to him ( the presi
dent ) , either Intended or apparent In
the Invitation , nor was Mrs. Cleveland's re
ply Intended to recognize or admit the ex
istence of any sucli Intention. Mrs. Cleve
land was simply not willing to assume such
a public role entirely Independent ot her
husband. The president Is now glad she de
clined because if the plain meaning of her
declination Is distorted he Is sure her con
duct would have been It she had accepted.
They regret any disappointment to the people
ple or firemen of New York.

steal alone the gulch on ono side , whllo
Whltehouso should creep along the bottom
so that the game could not escape , and the

walking some distance Whltehouse caught
sight ot an object going through the sage
brush about 120 yards ahead of him. He took
a long look and finally decided that the ob-
jectwas a mountain lion. He then fired and
the object tell. Calling to his partner and

his head coming out of the neck below the
left car. The body was brought to Laraiulo

I have recently noticed severe and , what

agement. Recognizing the ability of Anson

any change Is contemplated you will notlty

nnxlous to pay moio for his
release than any other club would. With
Anson In charge the present Detroit club
would hold the pennant for years to come.
Kindly wire me on receipt of this what my
ctiaucos are of securing him. Fraternally

as the defender of the America's cup against
the Scotch yacht Thistle resulted In ono of
the best contests over soon on these waters.
There was a strong wind blowing from north
to northwest all day. It reached n velocity of
forty miles an hour. Added to the splendid
condition ot the elements was the
excellent judgment of the committed , who
decided , after the yacht got under w.iy ,
that a triangular race should bo sailed. That
decision gn\e. thu contestants a course of
thirty-eight mile * to sail over with thu wind
on every band , at every turn uud In every
weather except during tlio first part to leu-

nent. The outcome of the day's race wa , s
that the Volunteer wns choaon by thu Amur-
lea's cup committee , who judged the e\enl t
from the flagship Electric , to meet the Thlv
tie In .in international contest. The Thistle
was out , too , but her handling w.is of such oa oe

no Idea of what she could do after that. Thu
Scotch yacht was evidently sailed for nil shn

CntcAoo , Snpt 10. ( Special lelcgrnm t
the BEK.J It was madu known to-day that
the condemned anarchists had held a consul
tation among themselves to talk over their
case lu Its various bear I u us. A close friend aud
member of the defense committee saw them
afterwards , and w hen ho loft the jail was In
duced to make known the result of the dis
cussion. Ho said they had talked over two
things first tlio question ot whether they
shall appeal to the supreme court of the
United States , and , second , the great petition
which It Is proposed to get up , pleading for
executive clemency. The last measure was
voted against unanimously. The condemned
men said they had done nothing for which
to ask the pardon of society ; that
society ought rather to ask their par
don. As for an appeal to the supreme
court , that Is n different thing. Some ot
them felt that they should use every resource
to bo found In law and than their death , It
consummated , "will accurst ) the system. "
The person who told this said In addition
that no matter what the final decision ot the
men was , their friends would go ahead and
make every effort for a reversal of the judg
ment by the United States supreme court.
In the event ot that falling a petition would
bo gotten up.
A local paper states this evening
that there Is n lover's quarrel between
Miss Nina Van Xnndt and August Spies ,
This morn ) ng the lady called at the jail , BO-
cording to her usual custom , and went to
the west end of tliti cngo. Spins , who was
pacing the farthbr end of thu corridor , soon
saw- her nnd coming to the screen thu pair
engaged In what Miemed to bo an Intensely
Interesting conversation for a few minutes.
Sp'cs ' then turned on his heel aud walked
avvny , while his wnltlng bride called to him
without receiving n reply. Then she slowly
turned nwny nnd loft the lull. As she passed
out her eves were filled with tears and when
Tuinkov Pieieo said , "You nro going oarlv
this morning , " her lips quivered lu n sob and
tears fell as lier lips tremblingly said , "Yes. "
About tun minutes Inter she returned and
had n talk with Spies and when she loft at 10
o'clock .sliu seemed less unhappy , bploshna
Peon treating her very coldly of late. Yes
terday she stood fifteen minutes In the cage
before ho condescended to notice her , and
then his actions Indicated that hore.ardcd
the confeimico ns something of n bore. It
Ib suggested that the novelty of the foolish
young womnn's Infatuation has probably
grown dull to the anarchist and the dally vis
its uro becoming tiresome to him.
Mrs. Knglennd Mis. Parsons also vlslted/
the condemned this nioinlnir. When the'
pilsoners were "rapped tin" Mrs. Parsons
took Nina In charirti nnd wns evidently
"binelng her up. " ' 1 ho tlueo women scorned
down hearted and the prisoners wore moro
than usually In liable. The defense com
mittee U adroitly schumlng to work up pub-
lie sentiment In favor of a commutation nt
sentence and all oflort to that end will bo
made. The leaders nro "sitting down" con

prominent were : Dr. Pembroke Lea Thorn ,

Colonel Gorrln Warlleld. surveyor of the

would stop outside the club ho would kick
him. WiirliPld declined to pay any attention
to the doctor's remaiks. A few minutes
later Wnrhelil left the club house , closely fol
lowed by Thorn. When the pavement wan
reached tl ? doctor repeated his threat ho had
made libido the dub , and added
that ho thought tint colonel was a cur.
Warlield struck the doctor's live , which sent
