STKATIOIIII ov-A\ov , Oct. 17. [ Now
York Herald Cable Special to the
HKE , ] The mimes of George Wll-
llum ChlldB mid William Shakespeare
will lie Indissolubly united after this
day In this oily where the editor's fountain
nndclotk tower was added to the bard's '
incmoi i.ds to glorify this historic spot. The
I'hlladclphlaii's gift has nlicudy heen
described whrn the designs weio
adopted. As completed and this morning
dedicated the gift Is doubtless one of the
most artistic fountains in the woild
us will bo seen when from the several
thousand photos now multlpljlng sonio will
soon reach New York. After Borci.il dajs
winter weather this morning canto In as u
Saint Martin's summer day with bright ,
warm sunshine. Early tialns from London ,
Leamington , Worcester , Warwick , etc. ,
biought tluongs of sight-seers. On every
side Hags abounded , including the stars and
strips line specimens \\lilch waved from
spile , town hall and the mayoralty rcsl-
dcnco , wheio the chief magistrate , Sir
Arthur Hodgson , had entertained Minister
I'helps and Sir Theodore Martin , John
Walter , proprietor of the Times , Sir Cunliffo
Owen , Eurl Delaware , Dr. McAuluy and
seven Jiiembers from adjacent cities At
high noon a procession left the to\\n hall
for the march of a quarter of a mile to
the fountain which fionts the square formed
by the Junction of several stiects and is
looked upon by Shakespeare's house. The
procession , headed by the major and alder
men In full i egalla escorting Mr. Irving and
thirty guests , was preceded byabandplajing
a Hritlsh patriotlo air. Anived at the vurio-
gnted granite gift , Major Hodgson , in gorge
ous robes and chain and piesontlng a de
cidedly classic face nnd ilgmc , took a stand
at the foot of the steps leading up to the
diiuking fount , ilu and after leading a quaint
letter fioui the poet Whlttler , briefly explained
the object of the g.ithciing with eulogistic
mid well expressed lefeienccs to Mr. Childs
and complimentary allusions to America ,
"tho adopted counti j' of Shnkcspcaio " Ho
Intioduccd Minister Phelps as a reptosentii-
tlvo of the goveinnicnt with diplomatic skill.
The lattet's speech was short and dubious of
meaning. Ev eij bed y awaited Irving who In
the meantime had taken up a most dramatic-
pose on the second step inside the stiuctuie ,

at which moment an instantane

Bent to Mr. Childs. living then , bj' request ,
stood within the drjf basin. In dedicating
the gift Ining with fine elocution mudo an
address lasting a quarter of nil hour , In the
course of which ho said as pint of his peroiu-
tlon : "Tho donor of this beautiful monument
ment I am happy to claim as my pcisonal
ft lend. Mr. George Childs Is not only an
admirable representative of u public spirited ,
enterprising and energetic Philadelphia ! ! ,
but ho is also a man who has endeared him
self to a % cry wide cliclo bj' many generous
deeds. I do not wonder at his munillccnco ,
for to men like him It Is second nature , but
I lejolco in the happy inspiration
which prompted a gift so woithllj'
to lepiesent the common homage of two
great people to the most famous man of their
common i ace. The simple rccoids of Stut-
foid nhow that this Is the Mecca of Amer
ican pilgrims and that the place which gave
With to Shakespeare is regarded as the
mightiest and most enduring inspiration for
the mother tongue. " The following was Ida
epilogue. : "Let mo conjure fancies ; let me

BOMS of the conflict which divided us frorc
our kinsmen in America ho would bo prone
to set In Stratford this gift of a distinguished
American citizen ; this memoiial of our reunion
union under the shadow of his uudjint
name. "
During the speech ho rcfericd to the fol
lowing manusci ipt ode w i itteu for the oc
ra-sion by Dr. Holmes :

Then Dr. Macaulaj' , as a pcisonal fucnd of
Mr. Childs , and Ii\mg , as icpicsonting the
authoi ities , Jointlj1 turned on the watci into a
laigo drinking fountain for hoiscs and cattle ,
a smaller one for dogs and an Intel lor ono
for thtisty pedestrians , while simultaneously
invisible hands fiom inside the clock tower
sot the hour and started the works. The flrst
flow , however , was caught in a flat glass jar
bought at the bar of Shakespeare inn haul bj'
and handed bj' Sir Cunliffo O\vcns to Irving ,
to bo by him piesented in peison to Mr.
Childs A striking incident occuired In a
large , white spitz dog , evidently astraj' and
astiiingcrto the town , gravely Joining the
piocession. Next ho digiiillcdly ensconced
himself inside the fountain steps and listened
in a couched attitude to the speeches , but
when the water was turned on arose and up-
proaclnng Mr. living utteicd a slight bulk.
The tragedian putted the animal amid ap
plause while J. C. Paikmson and Clement
Scott giacioualy led the animal to the small
trough who , however , icahzed the old maxim
about leading a beast to water. Next the
procession ro-foimcd , the band playing "Hail
Columbia , " and turning their backs on the
water to take wino and biscuits and face a
delightful menu at luncheon in the town hall
banqueting loom , to enter which they filed
past a lifo size statue of Shakspcara at
the porch. Coveis had been laid for 200
under the shadow s east bjr Gamsboio's cele-
biuted picture of Garrick leaning against
Shakespehi e's bustWilkcs' picture of Shakes
peare and n full length poi trait of good
Queen Anno. The menu was of aldcnuanic
proportions , consisting of thirty differing
lolishos with a generous supply of bottles of
six species of wine , and ov cry dish on the
menu illustrated by apt Shukspeuiian lines.
I give three apt ones , vb :
"To the gelatines of pigeons with mush
rooms. " This from Henry II.
"Some pigeons , Davy , and anj' little keck-
shuws , tell William the cook , " from the same
play.To
To salads , "Salad was born to do mo good , "
and to tongue , this from the Merchant of
Venice : "Silence is only commendable in a
neat tongue dried. " The royal toasts were
fully honored. Minister Phelps eulogized
Piesideut Cleveland and gallantly referred
to Mis. Cleveland. Dr. Macaulay and then
Sir Philip CunlllTo Owen responded to the
health of Mr. Childs , but the best speech
was bj1 In Ing , icspomllng to the memoiy
of Shakespcaroconcluding thus : "Ladiesand
Gentlemen : In a few dajs I sail for the gieut

WASHINGTON' , Oct 17. [ Special Telegiam
o the Hn 1 On the 1st of next month the
Washington Post and the Washington Cutic
, \ ill change ftom folio to quaito sheets. It is
he intention of the publishers at present to
set their painjrs largelj' by the use of the
j notj po machine , and thoj- expect thereby
to materially i educe the cost of composition.
The Tjpogiaphical union of this city does not
propose that thej' shall do anything of the
kind , however. This union is ono of the
itiongest in the conntrj'and up to the pres
ent time has been able to sccuio anj thing
that it has set out to gain. Yesteiday the
Sundaj' edition of the Post contained a sup-
ilcment which was entiiolj set by this new
Machine. The piintcis insisted that the
composition on the 00,000 cms which the
sheet contained must bo paid for at the usual
lates , and the publisheis were compelled to
iiccedo to the demands It is said that if an
ittcmpt is made to use the now machine in
the setting of the two papers to any great
extent the icsult will bo a stiike , which will
bo sustained by the government punting
oftlco emplojcs If this thicat is canted out
the cost of composition to the publishers will
cither bo incieased to something like 72 cents
per 1,000 ems or they will have to get along
without the aid of the machine. They will in
all piobability accept the hitter alternative.

the assessed taxable valuation of pu > l'City ' t
Commercial affairs me in a
piosperous condition , agricultural pioducts
abundant and of excellent giado , the stock In-
teicst flourishing and the mining outlook
promising. The goveinor recommends the
repeal of that p.ut of the alien land law
which relates to mines. To the discussion
of the subject of statehood for Utah the gov
ernor devotes consldeiablo space. Ho saj's
the movement was inaugurated bj- the lead
ers of the Mormon j > coplo and their repre
sentatives alone took part in the convention.
Ho lev lews past expressions and deeds up to
u very recent date in opposition to the fed
eral law sand sajs : "Before clothing them
with sovereigntj' should not congress wait
until their laudable piofessions have
hud time to upon into piaisewoithy

vanced position it would huvo attained but
for the past attitude of those who aio now
asking the boon of statehood ) It ismoie
than probable that the question of Utah as c
ptactiuil fiictoi hi national alVaiis will be
considered in connection with her applica
tion for admission , but neither gieat political
parties , so far as the past hlstoi jf of this people

The Condition or Arizona.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 17. Governor Zulhk
of Ari7ona , in his annual repot t estimates the
jKipulution at 90,000 an increase of nearly
50,000 over 1880 , and the assessed valuatioi
of taxable propeity at $ JO,318,500 , an increusi
of ncuily Jfi.OOO.OOO over 1880. The tenitori
is now absolutely on a safe and hcalthfu
financial basis. Its agricultural possibilities
With piopcr irrigation , can scaicelj' be over
estimated. The live stock interest is in i
flouiishing condition , and the mining Intcres
on a safe and promising basis. The govei no :
saj s that few positions of the republic out
side of Michigan , Wisconsin and Washlngtoi
toriltory contain such extensive bodie
of timber above the avciugo ii
qualltj' . The public schools svsten

As to Indians , the Nnvajoes are the mos

doubtless the wealthiest tribe in the Unitet
btates. They number about fifteen thousam
and are Inci easing. They ovv n 20,000 horse

and raise good crops. The Apaches occup ;
the San Cailos reservation , containing abou
two million , five hundred and twenty eigh
thousand acics of the best agricultural lam

Chief Signal OHlcerV lie-port.
WASHINGTON' , Oct. 17. General Gieelj' ,
chief signal oftU PI , In his annual icpoit culls
attention to the need of improved methods of
signalling in the army and moio geneial in
structions to arnij'men theieln. Ho calls
attention to its value us shown in Geneial
Miles' campaign and suggests that competent
instiuctois bo stationed at Toils Leaven-
woith , Moniocand Hiloy. He thinks that
cauicr pigeons should bo trained for carij'-
jug Intelligence fiom war vessels , etc. Con
cerning the weather forecasts , ho sajs that
ho has been unable so fur to accede to the
request to fuinish special predictions for
cities , towns and corporations owing to the
shoit time elapsing between the receipt of
telegi.iphlc ieK > its sending out gen-
cial predictions. Ho hopes , however ,
duiing the ensuing vear to make arrange
ments which , in addition to piovlding the
noithwest with more accurate warnings of
cold waves etc. , will furnish gieat centers of
population with special predictions. The in
ci ease In the length of houis in daily indica
tions has , it is said , naturally resulted in a
i educed percentage of verification , the dimi
nution amounting to 7 per cent , but it is be
lieved that this may be compensated for by
Increased skill and practice Hegiuding the
ctiticism often made on the failures of pre
dictions , the general sajs ho 1ms been
hampeied by changes of staff officers who
compile piedlctions , those who have acquhed
cxpeiience having been detailed to aimv dutj'
and the impoituut work Of predictions
is thus being thrust upon oflleers
with buef expelienco in mcterological
studies Still , with these drawbacks , the
gcneial pelcentngoof successful indications
iluiing the jcar has been : Weather , 74 7r > ;
wind , ( ' ! , 1 ; tcmpeiaturc , 74 4 ; gcneial av
ciage , 7. ! , ! ' ; 1,510 storm is woio 01-
dcied , of which ( > s 5 per cent w cio venlicd. :
This pci centnge is the lGvrcrt for yea ] s for
the icasons gu en above. The bnicau has in
view sevcial improvements , among others
the stationing of an indication oftlco at St.
Paul. That officer would receive icpoits on
an nvcuigo an hour earlier than Washington
and could sent out cold wave warnings fiom
two to live horns enilier than now.

With such a historj' and with such

elutions with the operations of the fcdoial
government and may well chum a large shaio

the citi7cns of the state mid city
to their old love for the union ,

them to the biotherhood in which thej' have

During the reception to daj' . while many

people , who , having been presented , hael

Trouble in tin- Coal
FIIH.LAND , Pa , Od. 17. [ Speiiul Telo-

Eveiy kind of business is teiribly eleprcssed ,
, vhile many of the small stores are closed.
The saloons , particularly tlioso which tiaus-

These giopgenes uio tapidly becoming the
icadquurteis of despcinto chmucteis who

Slavonian und Polish rufllans , is at piesent
ciowded with evil spiiits. These wicked
lorolgncis openlj' defj' the authoi ities , nnd

by the- crooks The announcement
made by agents of the Leliigh Coal and
Navigation companj' that all the company's
woiks will be stopped for one jcar unless the
stilkers leturn to work bj' the 20th inst , has
created much excitement in the Panther

nnd stiong eltoits aio being mndo to obtain
laborers to run the collici ics , but all these
schemes are futile. It is reported that some
mining firms are cndeavoiing to employ
Chinamen but the stoi jr lacks confirmation.
While mine masters , coal shippers und rail-
roa3 nlfimlgf'ra aio getting fat and sleek
through the immense ! J'loflXs , the situation in
the mining centers has reaelifu a tlejiloi able
point. A tour through the outlaj Ing eiist ! ' < tit
shows that destitution , misery and suffeiing
pi wall to an alarming extent. In
Hungarian , Polish and Slavonian set-
tlemenst , relief committees have discovered
niuny families actually suffering for the bare
necessities of lifo. There is also much sick
ness in some pluces , und relief men and phy
sicians lire kept busy. As there is un excel
lent prospect for the sti ike extending to the
Wjonnng nnd Luckuwnnna legions bv the
close of the piesent month , the outlook for
the gcneiul coul tiade is exceedingly dmk
nnd discouiaging. Individual opcratois , who

suspension of movement , scarcity of cars ,
mid other abuses , thej' are subjected to by
the coal sjndic.ite , the lot of the Individual

The untilchistic element is evincing a stiong
disposition to stait i evolution. The follow eis
of the led Hug have held several largely at

long hatred and vvlld-cved agitatois have
been of a character calculated to inspire the
uverago annichist with a teiriblo feeling of
revenge. The anarchist leaders aelvoc.ito the
killing of the coal kings , blowing up of the
mines and the binning of the colliery prop
eity. Argus eiyed detectives emplojed by
the eoal men attend all these gatlieungs and
