The Cleveland Crmh In Chicago.
CHICAGO , Oct. 6. Swarms of people again
filled all the approaches to the Palmer house
this morning eagerly watching for a glimpse
of President Cleveland when he shall emerge
for the drive to the International military en
campment. Crowds of workmen and shop
girls on the way to tholr dally tasks forgot
for the tlmo being tlio toll before them and
pressed forward through the jam of country
people and well dressed city sight-seers. Half
a dozen mounted police had no little trouble
clearing a passr.go for the president's car
riage , which was drawn by four spanning
bays. The sky wa ; lowering and everyone
was predicting rain would fall before the
president could make a start. Not a drop
fell , however , and at 8:45 : Mr. Cleveland
looking hnt little the worse for his handshak
ing of the previous day , appeared at the
iirched door way. With hat doffed and
many good natured bows to thu cheering
crowdlie lightly sprang Into the waiting
carriage , and In a moment was whirling
through the thickest of the business district
and out Washington boulevard to the en
campment He was accompanied by Mayor
Roche , General Terry and a dozen lesser
dignitaries , harly as U was and threatening
at > the day , the sidewalks along thu entire
routn were lined wltli people , Including thou
sands who , notwithstanding strenuous all
day and evening efforts yesterday , had failed
to POO the president or his wife In the gen
eral confusion prevailing.
A ludicrous incident occurred at the en
trance to the encampment grounds. The
president's carriage got stuck In tlio mud.
There was not a moment's time to spare and
the prancing bays were smartly lashed with
the whip. It was nip and tuck with the mud
that was .nado thick and sticky bv the rain
during the night Finally the vehicle con
taining the chief magistrate of the nation
gave a terrific lunge forward and was gene
Irom the laughlnz , cheoi Ing crowd. A rapid
drivrjpast two or three thousand troops drawn
up in line , the thundering salute from the
artillery and bows and smiles to a
couple of thousand spectators in the stands ,
completed the ceremonies at the encamp
ment Without delay the president boarded
a train for fie depot down town , from which
ho started lor Milwaukee. * It lacked but
throe minutes to 10 o'clock , the schedule
tire of starting for Milwaukee , when he ar-
rivTid. I' fs , Cleveland had preceded him by
halfauhijursllnplngqulutlylntoacariiagoat
the hotel and being driven to the depot com
paratively unobserved. The hundreds of
spectators crowding the waiting rooms when
she arrived had grown to thousands In the
short interval before the president came.
Behind the long railings on the platform
parallel with the presidential train it seemed
like a quarter stretch on derby day so closely
packed iid thoroughly o.\cited were the pee
ple. Mrs. Cleveiand gazed out Irom the win
dews of her car with decided interest that
was heightened when the president stepped
from the incoming train on an adjoining
track and briskly walked to her side. At
once a chorus of entreaties went up for them
to come out on the platform. "We want to
see Mrs. Cleveland.1 and "three cheers for
Grover , " were the cries. When Mrs. Cleve
land In her green traveling dross , and the
8resident wltn head uncovered , appeared at
ne rear door of the train a mighty cheer
rolled through the depot Just then the train
began to move , a burst of sunshine lit up the
ficonn , and while the multitude yelled itself
hoarse the president and his fair young wife
waved farewell to Chicago.
At Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE , Oct. 0. Up to to-day Mil
waukee had been only once honored by the
presence as her guest of a president of the
United States. Nine years ago President
Hayes was accorded an enthusiastic recep
tion , aud was the lion of a day that has since
been generally recorded In the city's annals
with a red letter. To-day Milwaukee was
Blowing with Patriotism over its second op
portunity to do honor to the chosen ruler of
the people. The day opened brightly after a
rather unpromising night during which the
muttering ot thunder was frequently accom
panlod by vivid Hashes of lightning and rain
at Intervals. The colored decorations that
were yesterday put In place suffered some
what from the water , but tlio blending effect
of the rain In some Instances formed pretty
combinations of color , The train oearlng
President Cleveland and lady nrrivec
proroptlv on tune. The presidential salute
was fired by a battery on shore and the rev
enue steamer "Andy Johnson" opencc
her ports and echoed a re
sponse. Thn prearranged plans
were quickly put in operation , tlio escort of
the distinguished visitors took up its posi
tion , and the parade began. The military
presented a tine appearance. It was the
largest parade of the militia that has ever
been seen In Milwaukee since the greai
reunion In lt0. The local companies par
ticipating were Sheridan guards , Kosciusko
guaras , South Side rides , Lincoln guards.
Milwaukee cadets and the bucle
corps of the Light Horse squadron.
Those from outside cities were from
Appleton , Watertown , two com pan Irs from
Oshkosh , Fond du Lac , Rlpon , Waupun , Shc-
boyuan , Beaver Dam , two companies fron
Manltowoc. the Janesville guards am
Beaver City rifles of Jancsvfllo. As the
procession traversed the line of march there
were frequent bursts of cheering and tlu
president bowed repeatedly and fitted his
hat Hi response to the cordial salutations
Mrs. Cleveland bore herself as se
renely as a queen. The build
Ings on both sides of the streets were
tastefully decorated with national colons
evergreens , etc. On Wisconsin street , oppo
site their club rooms , the Junean club , an
organization composed of young democrats
erected a graceful arch ot evergreen bearinti
the word "Welcome" and pictures of Mr
and Mrs. Cleveland and along the
walk in front of its quarters a
large reviewing stand from which
/numbers / ot Urn club and their ladles
greeted the president and his wlfo und show-
tied 'lowers upon them. The government
building wan als.o decorated with national
colors and with portraits of the president and
wife.
The reception was a model one In plan ami
execution. A raised and railed platform had
been erected so as to keep the stru.uliug
throne from overrunning the president as he
left the train. The grand parade was waitIng -
Ing and travelled a circuitous route to the
court house , whore the honored guests and
reception committee took places on the plat
form. The parade then passed in review ,
utter which Mayor Wallbeer made the wel
coming speech , to which the president re
sponded :
The following Is the president's speech In
response to Mayor Wallbcr : "I am very
Kind to havu an opportunity , though the time
allowed Is \ey briol. to meet the
people of Wisconsin's chief city.
Slnco wo left home and In
rasslni : through the different utatos on our
wa/ there has been presented to us a variety
of physical features characteristic In their
diversity , in soil and conformation. But the
people wo have met at all points have been
the same In tholr energy and nctivliy.ln their
local prldo and In that peculiar unit of
American character which produces the belief ,
11 r inly adhered to by every Individual that
his particular place of residence Is the cho cn
and most favored spot which the world con
tains. This condition creates mi aggregate
of bentlment Invincible In operation , fnrr-
Ifihlnc a motive power which has
brought about the stupendous growth
and development of our country.
But there has been another element of
character displayed among tbo peoifle every
! where on our travels whl'h has been unl-
i vjrsal and not disturbed by any difference Inc
c- place or circumstances. No state lines have
clri'urusurlbcd , no local pride has diminished
and no business -activity has in the least
tided the kindness nnd cordiality of the
welcome , Tbeo U bitterutM
enough In the partisan feeling which seems
Inseperable from our political methods , but
tbo Eood people of the United States have , I
believe , decreed that there are occasions
when this shall have no place. " In conclu
sion the president paid a high tribute to the
city of Milwaukee.
The president rode In the procession In the
carriage In which Daniel Webster , Henry
Clay , Silas Wright and Martin Van Buren
Buren have ridden. The chair , which he
occupied at the banquet this evening was
made trom the tree under which Washington
took command ot the Continental army July
0,1775 , In Cambridge , known as "tho Wash
ington Kim. " In it Presidents Grant and
Haves have been banqueted In Boston.
From the reviewing stand the procession
marched to Schlltz' park , which was bril
liantly decorated. Ihe president was sta
tioned on a platform In the main pavllllon
inoldo the park. Some slip In the arrange
ments caused considerable confusion , the
crowd becoming massed In such a manner
that the president's party were nearly swept
on their feet by the surging throng. The
lollce finally restored order. The re
ention lasted an hour. The presi
dent was so tired of handshaklne that
most of the time he kept hu hands behind
his back and simply bowed as the people
passed. Mrs. Cleveland , who left the proccs-
non parly , dined at the house of John L.
ditchell. She gave a public reception at the
esldenco of .lames Knceland. lasting until
jvenlng , when she was driven to the 1'lank-
.nton house , where she listened to the toasts
at the merchants' banquet from the balcony.
Three hundred and llfty guests sat down to
the banquet tendered by the Merchants' as
sociation to President Cleveland this even
ing. Including leading politicians of different
shades of opinion from all over the stale.
The guests remained standing until the ar
rival of the chief guest of the evening. He
was received with an outburst ot applause ,
which was renewed when at 1 o'clock Mrs.
Cleveland made her appearance In
'he balcony to listen to the
oasts and response * Mr. Andrews ,
presldentof the Merchants'association , made
: ho welcoming address. President Clove-
-and , replying , said in part , after referring
to the high duties and responsibilities of his
ofllce , acknowledged "With patriotic satis-
sactlon the tribute to that odlce which bo-
ongs tons all. " He added : "And bacauso
.t belongs to all the people , the
obligation is manifest on their part
to maintain ta constant and continuous
watchfulness and Interest concerning its earn
and operation. Their duty is not entirely
done when thev have exercised their suffrage
and Indicated their choice of Incumbent. Nor
is their duty performed by settling down to
bitter , malignant and senseless abuse of all
that is done or attempted to bo done by thn
incumbent selected. The acts of
an administration should not bo
approved as a matter of course and
for no hotter reason than that it represents a
political party. But moro unpatriotic than
all others are those who , having neither
party discontent nor fair ground of criticism
io excuse or justlty their conduct , fall , be
cause of personal disappointment , who
misrepresent for sensational purposes ,
and who protcss to see swltt de
struction In the rejection of tholr
plans of governmental management. After
all wo need have no fear that the American
ople will permit this high olllcoof president
, suffer. There Is a patriotic sentiment
abroad which , In the midst of all party feel
ing and all party disappointment , will assert
Itself and will Insist that the office which
stands for the people's will shall In all Us
vigor minister to their piosperity and wel
fare. "
The fourth regular toast , "Stato of Wis
consin , " was the subject assigned to Post
master General Vllas. Postmaster General
Vilas sketched eloquently though briefly the
salient featuv's of Wisconsin's history as a
state , summed up her boundless resources
and dwelt upon her beauties of scenery and
climate. "Standing hero to-nleht , " said ho ,
"I can proudly declare to the presi
dent of the United States that in loyalty
to the federal union , its constitution and the
supreme laws the po iple of Wisconsin yield
first place to their mothers In no other state ;
that they understand and profoundly feel
the responsibility lying upon every cltl/en of
the union to him to whose personal keepIng -
Ing Is committed not only the sovereignty
and dignity of the nation , but
the weal or woe of sixty millions of their
race and a limitless posterity ; that In the
discharge of this responsibility they demand
and will defend an upright , faithful and wise
Government , and whatever the differ
ences of her men In politics , In every
olllrcr 'and trusted for the people's
good with the people's power , the heart of
Wisconsin admires and lores an able , faith
ful , bravo and honest man. "
At the conclusion of Vllas' remarks , which
evoked the most demonstrative enthusiasm ,
letters of regret wore read and iinpiomptu
speeches followed in conclusion.
GRAIN BLOCKADE IMMINENT.
Minneapolis Complains of Poor Trans
portation Facilities.
MINNEAPOLIS , Oct. 0. | Special Telegram
to the BKE.J Considerable attention ot late
has been directed toward the facilities for
grain transportation , which are unusually
cramped and limited this year on account of
the extension ot the various railway systems
Into now territory , and the attempt to supply
the demand for cars without Increasing the
rolling stock. The farmers and small grain
dealers are apprehensive of great inconven
ience , and in some cases of real suffering.
The trouble seems to bo mainly with the
farmers and middle | men , between the pro
ducers and tbo large elevator companies.
Small commission merchants with limited
capital and storing facilities have purchased
the grain directly from the farmers with the
promise to pay as soon as It was sold to the
large grain dealers. The Inability of
the railway companies to handle the
grain as fast as It comes In has
compelled them to store U In small ware
houses and elevators along the lines of the
several roads and to , delay In paving the
farmers , and the consequence Is that both
the farmers and the commission merchants
are placed In a very serious and annoying
position. Many of thorn pay for their wheat
without receiving any , thus requiring a good
deal of capital before a return can bo made.
The mill men of Minneapolis also complain
of being unable to get the moans of trans
porting their wheat from the elevators to the
mills and some claim that they are compelled
to run below a full capacity. Unless the
present condition ot affairs Is bettered the
northwest is likely to experience an Immense
gram blockade very shortly.

The Knlghtf * of Labor.
MINNEAPOLIS , Oct. 0. The Knights of
Labor convention w cut Into executive session
at 0:13 : a. in. , with closed doors and Is trans-
ctluif routine business. It Was stated . .that
nothing would be given out to the reporters
uutll noon when everything Intended for
itibllcatlon would be announced.
The first hour was devoted to eulogies of
ho late Thomas Armstrong , of Pittsburg ,
nd discussion of proposals to erect a inonu-
uont.
The committee on credentials resumed
iiislncss at 1:10. : Mrs. Marlon Todd.ot Mich-
San , was reluscd admission , as were also
ocal assemblies mi. : )7U ) , IM93 and 8003 ,
which asked to be represented by C. J. Drls-
oll. of Denver. The ruling was that they
ivero only entitled to representation through
their district. A motion to reinstate district
assembly 130 , of New York City , was ruled
nit of order. The roll call showed ! J5 delo-
ates present.
Immediately after the call to order In the
afternoon Mr. 1'owderly began the reading of
his annual address , which contained about
' < 0,000 words. It is perhaps best described In
Iho words of General Worthy Foreman Grlf-
iths , who said to-night : "It Is the greatest
report we ever had. It Is a coinploto history
of Powderv's ! oflicial life , since his election
at Chicago eight years aeo. There has been
90 much slush published about him during
the last year that he has felt obliged to put
down all the lies , and In my opinion has
done It inos < ; successfully. It Is a great of-
-ort. "
ort.Many
-Many other members of the assembly are
ust as well ple.ised with the report.
At the close of the reading adjoin in.icnt
ivas taken until to-morrow.
I'OWDKIILY'S ADIHIKSS.
Mr. Powderly's address begins by asking a
carctul consideration of Its iccomineiida-
tlons , etc. Ho says in part : "When the last
session of the general assembly closed It dis
solved amid the clamor of discontented men
and warring of factions. It was a large and
unwieldy body and from so many men who
ivere up to that time strangeis to each other ,
.t was expecting too much to ask them to
enact perfect legislation. This body Is
smaller than Its piedecossor. and 1 expect
better things at Its hands. Wo adjourned a
year ago with dissension In our own ranks.
That dissension was enlarged upon and
scattered to the world bv enemies from within
and from without News oil the discord
reached the ears of employers of labor and
they In many Instances took advantage of
what thev mistook for our weakness and
rustled Into a conflict with our members in
various parts of the country. " [ Here a com
plete history of the tanious Chicago strikes
of last year was given in detail. ] "Tho rela-
latloli of the order to anarchists has taken
up RO much space in public prints and has
been the subject of so much discussion In the
assemblies of some large cities that It is
proper to report toou my doings In connec
tion therewith. Let me Kay here that
I never , as has been so much
asserted In the press , confounded
socialism with anarchy. 1 draw a wide line
of distinction between the two , as every
readlnir , thinking man must I will ask of
the general assembly to define the position
of the order on the attempts that have been
nude to prosecute it to such base uses as the
anarchists would put It. 1 have never pub
licly uttered a sentiment regarding the
course of the seven men who are condemned
to death In Chicago. 1 will now give my
opinion. If these men did not have a fair
trial , such as Is guaranteed every man In the
United States , then they .should be granted a
new trial. If they have not been found
; ullty of murder they should not bo
janged. If tiiev aie to be hanced
for the actions of othcis It Is not just. The
man who throw the bomb in Chicago should
be hanged and his accomplices should receive
the punishment allotted to bitch offenses bv
the laws ot Illinois. "
Ail the letters relating to the anarchist sub
ject are tiled at length at Denver. Thn ques
tions were given In full , and of thn matter
Powderly said : " 1 regarded the whole affair
as an outrage and'the questions asked Im-
purtlnont , rascilly and promoted by mallcn
or revenue. The resolution which should past
U one to demand that every ave wed anarchlss
bo obliged to withdraw from the order or be
expelled. Wo have nothing to fear from
trades unionsbut everything to fear Irom the
contaminating Influence ot men who preach
destruction In the name of our Order and
who at the same time assort that they are
socialists , while giving life to every principle
of socialism when they advocate violence of
anv kind.7'
Powderly devoted some time to an explana
tion of his knowledge of the "Home Club of
Now York , " regarding which he said that
much abuse and ridicule had been heaped
upon him for the past two years In con
sequence of his supposed connection with It
Ho quoted voluminous correspondence and
related Incidentally the tacts as known to
him of the attempts made to take
his life. Referring to the resolution of
the last general assembly of the expulsion
of the clgarniakors , Mr. Powderly treated at
great length. Thedeclslon Is carefully pie
pared and expresses his belief that the rosoln
tlon Is unconstitutional and of no binding
effect except as a warning. Referring to
his recommendation to the members of the
order to celebrate the Fourth of July last , he
eald he did this on account of the many
charges that had boon made regarding the
disregard of the labor organizations for the
law and contempt for the Hag and the
constitution of the country. "I did this
that the world inlgjit know the character of
the order , and 1 was not disappointed , for
the celebrations under the auspices of the
Knights of Labor were held in over nine
hundred places throughout the country. " In
his recommendations to the general assem
bly Powderly says the day has coiuo tor the
knights to ask at the hands of congress the
passage ot a law creating a department
of labor. The prosperity ot the whole
country rests upon the broad shoulders
of labor , and there is nothing now so promi
nently before the nation aud world as the
question of labor. Ho recommends that
Steps be taken to have the next congress act
on a bill to establish a governmental tele
graph , to be run in connection with the pos
tal seivice. "ibollevowo should go before
the next eonnross asking for the passage of
but ono or two measuius. They should be
important ones and the full strengtu
of the organisation should bo behind
those who make the demand. 1 bo-
liuve , however , that nothing can Do
moro Important than the passage of laws
creating a governmental telegraph and a na
tional department of labor. " Powderly de
clares that to deal knowingly and Intelli
gently with the questions in the declaiation
ot principles of the order it should have a
journal published under Its control which
should reach the member. It should have a
department especially devoted to a discussion
ot these questions. It must make a radical
change in the methods of education of the
members. "Tim work of education of the
old and young Is a duty \\o should nol
attempt to put to ouo side. "
Itcfcrrlng to the regulation of stain , territo
rial , mixed and trade assemblies , he calls at
tention to nls plan published In the Journal
of September 10 , The adoption of a uni
versal beuellt plan 1 $ recommended. Re
ferring to the charges that he was a member
of the socialistic party , Powdsrly says that
In 1S50 , Phillip van Patten , national secre
Ury of the socialistic lauor party , was .1
member of the general executive bean
ot the Kulhts of Labor. He sent
Powderly a red caad of membcrshii
some time about August , IbSO , paid up for
three inon-thd. Powderly regarded it as a
complimentary act on the partot Van Pat
ten , but seeing that the declaration of the
principles of the Knights of Labor contalnet
all the socialism that he cared to advocate
he never took any action on the card
"It believing In the declaration a
all the principles of this orde
makes mo a socialist then I have
, 49ogajs \ | to njajjej but that 1 am a we. tube
f any other society in which questions of
abor or reform are rtlscuswl I do deny. "
'owderly refers to the principles of anarchy
s robbery and rapine and M > S no sane man
an advocate such a doctrine. Referring to
ho general Investigator , ho eulo-
rlzed her highly and recommends
hat thn ollleo bo made permanent.
Mr. Powderly condemned the practice of
aticusstng or lobbying on the part of mem-
icrs , and In conclusion stated his wllllniness
o withdraw from ofllce If the assembly so
: eslred. Some very wholonomo advice was
given regarding the proper attitude of the
ncmbors of the ordct toward their officers
and as to the best way of conducting the
business of the convention.

A Terrible Tale ut the Voyage of the
I'lnRtic-atrlckcn Hhlp.
Nr.w YOIIK , Oct. 0. [ Special Telegram to
ho BKB. | Rev. Dr. Maynard , the lecturer ,
was one of the passengers on the plague-
tricken steamer Alosla , which arrived hero
a couple of weeks ago. He was sion by a re
porter yesterday and told the following story
if the voyage : " 1 do not know the exact num-
> cr ot emigrants who were taken on board
it Naples , but It must have been about six
lundieil. Among them was a party of forty
rom Palermo , the plague-stricken city.
None of the few cabin passengers were of
ourso aware of the occurrence at the ilmo ,
aud yet a circumstance which happened bo *
ore wo started aroused In my mind an untie-
Incd suspicion that everything was nol right.
The day before wo left the steamship people
gave a reception on boardjtho Alesla to the
Neapolitan national authorities , who at-
ended In grand state. It was a delightful
> ccaslon , and 1 am convinced now that It was
ntonded to mollify the authorities on ac-
: ount of the company's action In taking
he Palermo passengers. Durlnr the
earlier part of the passage all the
Ircuuistanccs seemed to conspire In
producing pleasuie to all on board. Fora
louplo of davs a sirocco came across the Med-
tcrranean from Africa , but did not make the
eniDeraturo unbearably hot. Wo were a gay
company , the Italian emigrants particularly
so. The discomforts attending an emigrant
voyage seemed to have no effect upon their
plrlts. They chatted and laughed and sang
and danced all day long and well Into the
nights , Alonir with the emigrants were
nany of the bettor class of Italians , and their
really beautiful singing added to the charm
of these delightful ovoulngs. Wo were about
twulva davs out whun the plague broke out.
A young Neapolitan died. It was ci\enout
that heart disease was the cause and there
was at the time no ground for supposing
otherwise , and yet , In some unaccountable
vay , all on board ship became sel/ed wltli a
nlsglvlng. Nothing on the part of the captain ,
vho was a particularly jolly fellow , or the
lector or other officers Indicated that
he Neapolitan's death was out of the ordi
nary run of such misfortunes , yet It caused a
sudden fear to fall upon the emigrants , the
Ike of which i had never before , In a very
eng and very varied experience of trawl ,
uet with. From that time not a sound of
nirth was heard. The dancing was ended ;
not a note was sun ? . The funeral of the
Neanolltan was a sad and Impressive sight
and If possible It Increased the general do-
ectlon. 1 have no doubt that the condition
if mind of these people had a good deal to do
with the swltt headway which the disease
made alter It bugan its work. I never saw
such a complete surrender to misfortune as
these people made and It presented all the
nero startling appearance on account of the
Ight-hearteduess which they had at hrst dls-
ilayed. They seemed as limp as rags. Thov
made no .struggle with fata , but sat or
roved about listlessly and lifelessly and
seemed actually to invite death by tholr
( read ot It. I cannot xlvo any particulars
regarding the progrosj of the disease or
number of the victims. ' Strange to say. the
disease first struck the Neapolitans and the
Droportion strlckun among them was greater
than among those from Palermo , who Im
ported the disease. The discipline on boaid
was perfect and the doctor and his assistants
were untiring In tholr efforts. Thn captain
maintained his jollity of demeanor through
out the entire trip in a manner which I now
confess was Inspiring. There were no moro
public funerals after the lirst. The conceal
ment of the true state of affairs lasted but a
short time and the victims were given to the
deep one after another. I bellovo that no
one teally knows how msjiydli > d on board.
Every day brought Its fatalities. "

COMMITTEE CONFERENCES.
Kcimblloana Preparing For an Early
Convention Next Year.
CmcAoo , Oct 6. [ Special Telegram to
the BUK. | There are at present four mem
bers ot the republican national committee In
Chicago. Since their arrival hero they have
had several conferences , at which the politi
cal situation and the coming national con
ventions have boon freely discussed. From
conversation with them It Is found that tliero
Is a sentiment In favor1 ot the national com
mittee meeting In Washington In December
Instead of January , s6 that the national con
vention can bo held In May Instead of Juno
In speaking of the nominees a prominent
member of the committee said he regar.tod it
as a foregone conclusion that the democrat1
would place Mr. Cleveland at the head of
their ticket again , and that Mr. ViUs or some
other soldier would till the second place.
From present Indications Mr. Yilas had al-
already boon selected.As to the republicans ,
the committee member said that while there
was an overwhelming feeling In favor of Mr.
Blalue , ha knew positively that that gentle
man did not want the nomination , and would
not turn his hand to get U. The stories that
ho was already planning and directing tils
campaign from Europe were without any
louadation whatever.

DUIILIN , Oct. 0. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to the Bnr..l Baltourlsm
has again llzzled. The nationalist clubs and
dinner parties are celebrating the event and
the Sir Edward Coke of this ago In all save
learning viz : Crown Counsel Carson , is
Inundated and somewhere eating huuiolo plo
for dinner. It Is a common feeling among
lawyers everywhere that the advocate who
goes to trial only to got non-suited on a
failure of facts , deserves to have thumbs
pointed at him after the Montajuo Uapulet
style. Carson , ' who tried to lord It over
Harrington In the O'Brien case , tried the
same game to day upon Consellor llealy at
Lord Mayor Sullivan's trial but although
tbo Balfourlto entered the court room
under tlio government's thumb , ho
loft muter jeering thumbs pointed
at him by the audience. Last week ho had
attacked the liberty of speech ; to-day ho at
tached the liberty of the press by seeking to
convict Lord Mayor Sullivan of inciting in
the paper , "United Ireland , " seditious meet
ings. Now , Inciting Is preliminary to some
accomplished offense , and there must be
something Incited. In the endthn magistrate
who appears to have been dlgnilled and fair ,
rather contemptuously dismissed Balfourlsm
because it did not prove the fact of any meet
ing. Herald readers may put after that sen
tence orthographic exclamation points. Ver
bal exclamation points the audience placed
vehemently when the decision was an
nounced. The lord mayor went to com t as
popularly as once on an historic occasion
went John Wilkes and Sir Francis Hurdett ,
M. P. , to the bar of a court room. Lord Mayor
Sullivan went In state , surrounded by the cor
poration sheriff , Dillon and other other of
ficials. When the sword and mace wore be
ing carried toward trie table the policemen
remembering perhaps Ciomwell's "Tako
away that bauble , " refused passage to the
emblems. They oven turned aldermen out
of the body of the court room into a side
gallery. With unconscious sarcasm they set
apart the dock to reporters In a pending pros
ecution agolnst the liberty of the press. But
tliero was contempt for contempt Inasmuch
as O'Brien declined to respect the mere sum
mons and insisted on a process. Ten thou
sand pcoplo were around the police court , but
ho approach to It was not a thoroughfare on
ho occasion of this prosecution against free
dom , except for a privileged few. As If
ashamed of their government's doings , few ,
t any , tory coerclonists were In the audi
ence , as was evidenced by the almost unani
mous , "Hoar , near , " when a nationalist
spoke , and the "Shames" when an ofliclat did
or said something aggressive. Dwlcr
Gray , an M. P. cut , holding the higher of
fice of editor of the Freeman's Journal ,
moved that the public be admitted. This
was gingerly allowed by the police nod , amid
applause , a laiire number ot Catholic clergy
took oats. O'Brien was then called , but an
expressive silence voiced his praise. There
was a hush of admiration in the audience
moie complimentary than applause would
have been. Next the proving of the case
asalust the Lord Mayor began , llealy , per
haps remembering Ersklno's rule in crim
inal cases , never to admit anything
and to be as technical as possible ,
fought at every loop-hole as sturdily
as evicted tenants light , llealy throw scaldIng -
Ing sentences. At times lie was not without
his native wit. For instance , when Crown
Counsel Carson claimed to put in an entire
co'py of United Ireland , Healy oxclalmcJ ,
"What , advertisements snd all ? " Carson
nodded.
"Then , " responded llealy , "I shall make
you stand by the poetry in the issue and the
songs of freedom , " at which the auditors
began to applaud.
Then Carson , with his face oppressing an
gry miilgnitv , testly exclaimed : "This is the
lirst time the question lias been raised that
crown or prisoner could select a few lines
from a paper and say , 'That boars such and
such construction , ' without any power to
refer to other parts. "
Mr. Healey Yes , very good , for this Is the
lirst proceeding of the kind in history.
Mr. Carson This case must bo ruled by
ordinary principles.
Mr. Healey The crimes act is not governed
by any evidence of principle , 'nor by any
principle of evidence.
This antithetical wit was applauded while
fresh vindictive-looking clouds gathered
around the heads of the police and the erown
counsel. Tken occurred moro skirmishing
of evidence , if what the crown offered
towards proof may be termed evidence , with
the result lirst stated of a dismissal. Some
one at the outside door took the
cue before the magistrate ended his
sentence and had signalled the great concourse
without. Now a cheer arose tlio volume of
which might have reached Balfour when ) ho
Is shooting pheasants In Donegal. The
triumphal return of tlio mayor and corpora
tion wltli mace and sword In tull sight , maybe
bo better Imagined than described. The
"loyalists , " as the Balfourltes call them
selves , look _ lum. They see Salisbury
blundering Hko a LordNoith.

HITTING HULL'S ELOQUIiNOE.
The Great Ghlnf Indulges In a Flight
of Oratory to the Crows.
UILUNO ? , Mont , Oct. 0. fSpeolnl Tele
gram to the Hr.K.J The dissatisfaction which
has boon prevalent among the Crows for the
past year , and which has culminated In the
present outbreak , started with thi visit ot
Sitting Bull and 100 Sioux braves last sum
mer to the Ouster battle-ground. There they
held a war dance In memory of their great
victory. The comparisons made at that tlmo
by the Sioux ot the treatment of the two na
tions by tlio gomnmnnt greatly excited the
jealousy ot the Crows aud since then there
has been a rapidly growing dissatisfaction.
During the visit at the joint , council Sitting
Bull was heard to say , referring to the Custer
monument : "Look nt that monument. That
marks the work of my people. Wo are re
spected and feared by the whlto man because
we killed his great chief and moro than three
hundred of his warriors on this spot. Wo re
ceive one and one-half pounds of beef per ra
tion , but you get only one-half pound , yet
we do up work , but ride and visit
our friends as wo please. See your llttlo log
houses and farms. You are thu white man's
slave. He Is teaching you to labor only that
you may forget the use of your war paint ,
and the battle songs of your fathers are stolen
from the lips of your children bv the sense
less charts of the schools , bv the black robes
( priests. ) Is there blood In the veins of vour
young men ? Rise up against the bloodless
conquest that Is turning your people Into
slaves. The red man was made by our
Great Spirit to hunt and light , to be tree as
thopralilo winds. It Is the white man's
business to work , Ho Is only a soldier when
ho Is paid to bo , " Tlio effect that his speech
made on the Crow nation was tremendous
nnd the seed then sown Is now bearing Its
fruit Thioutcome remains uncertain. The
military authorities are trying to maku
It appear as small as possible , but tliero
will undoubtedly have to be stioug
measures taken to prevent the frequent oc
currence of such outbreaks. There Is a strong
possibility that unless the military are In
structed to take a hand In this game that SMI 1-
ous trouble will result.
FOHK1GN MISSIONS.
Proceed incn of Vcstorday's Session
ol' the American Itoiird.
Si'itiNOFini , ! ) , Mass. , Oct G , At to-day's
session of the American board of commis
sioners for foreign missions the committee
on the Japan mission reported and empha
sized the danger during the present crisis In
that country oC any one Introducing unscriptural -
scriptural speculation. A majority icport of
the committee on the report of the homo
secretary was presented Professor Board-
man , of Chicago. Five of the sK members
of the committed constitute ) llio majority.
The report says the report under considera
tion affords much encouragement to the
friends of missions. Eighteen moro mission
aries have been appointed than the average
number for the past twelve years. The
linancos were not so favorable as the last
year , the Sweet ite Otis fund having hecn
arcely drawn upon to meet deficiencies. The
onstltutlon of the boaid requires that no
part of Its funds go to suppprt error , and wo
eallltin and fall back upon the action taken
ast vear at Des Molncs against the doctrine
of tntnro probation. Tlio boaid adheres to
ts position at DCS Molnes and accepts tlio
action of the prudential committee. It rec
ommends to the committee to bo careful to
guaid against any appioval of the doctrines
ot future probation.
Pi of. Parker. In a minority report , took
the Issue as to Mr. Hume and thu rejected
Andovcr students. "The home secretary , "
lie says , "Is plainly defending himself and
the prudential committee and so fie question
becomes a personal one. The facts about the
rejected students that would modify the case
have been withhold. In his y.eal for putting
down what ho dooms a dangerous error , ho
has suppressed the facts , and usurped au
thority. The board Is not a tribunal to do-
tine oithodoxy. Churches have regular
me < ns of doing this. "
The burning Issue was on thn question as
to which of these reports should bo adopted.
The professor spoke In favor ol his repot t.
All the prudential committee should do was ,
ho said , to ascertain not so much whut the
Ideas of the candidate on speculative doc
trines are , but what nsa ho will make of
thorn ; In short to deteimlno that Jio Is not a
"crank. "
Prof. Boardman , of the Chicago theologi
cal seminary , salrt : "The Idea that we have
nothing to do with theology Is pioposterons.
The two iUoQloirles are not consistent with
each other and Uf6 out-s ! better.It was 1m-
1 oislblii for a man to hold this doctrine and
not pro.ich it. "
Rov. G. A. Gordon , of Boston , declared
that to adopt thu majoiity report would bo to
alienate a largo constituency. It would be
hard to hold the gloat churches to the sup
port of the board.
Rov. Dr. E P. Goodwin , of Chicago , said :
"Dr. Scuddor , Moody , Spurgoon , and St. Paul
were on the same ground as to the second
coming of Christ. 1 lind difficulty with this
doctrine of second probation because It is
drawn , nor Irom scripture , hut from Christian
consc'ousness. 1 do not lind In the bible anv
respect for the philosophy of men. Christ
quoted Moses rather than philosophy to sup
port his teachings. So did St Paul.1'

iressed his views on the subject of

exceedingly forceful and classic language ,
and the way that ho wont for the Cincinnati

issort that ho said to thorn that President
Cleveland Is bound to bo ronomlnatcd and

would seem to Indicate that the 'I all Syca
