" The presentation wus made by Mayor Uccso. The ride through the city was the most en joyable feature of the day's demonstration. Public nnd private buildings were elabor ately adorned nnd everything wore n gala iipl > earauco. The welcoming address was de livered by Governor Seay upon the arrival of the presidential party at the fair grounds. The president expressed his pleasure at being nolo to visit Alabama , nnd said : "I bcllovo that no southern state has within itself jnoro elements of independent growth nnd development than Alabama. " After dwelling nt some length on the inexhaustible agricul tural and mineral resources of the stnto nnd .ts wealth nnd commercinl grentness , ho con tinued : "Every ton of iron you are enabled to furnish a northern state goes far towards destroying sectional feeling. Your fellow countrymen appreciate the value of intimate and profitable business relations with you and there need bo no fear that they will permit them to be destroyed or endan gered by designing demagogues. The wick edness of those partisans who seek to aid their ambitious schemes by engendering hate among a generous people is fast meet ing exposure , and yet there is and should bo insistnnco upon strict adherence to the set- tlemcnt which has been made of dis puted questions and upon unreserved acceptance of such settlement. As against this I believe no business consideration should prevail and I firmly believe that there is American fairness enough abrond iu the Innd to insure proper and substantial recog nition of the peed faith which you have ex hibited. We know that you still have prob lems to solve involving considerations con cerning you alone , questions beyond the reach of federal law or interference and with which no one but you should deal. " In closing ho said : "I shall return to my ofll- clal duties grateful to the people of your state and capital for the cordiality of their welcome , fully impressed with the greatness of Alabama , but nlso with the fecl- mg that she cannot evade , if she should , the responsibility of the entire country which her greatness nnd commanding position have cast upon her. " The president was frequently interrupted by applause und occasionally by the fervent intcrjectory , "God bless you. " From the speaker's stand the pnrty was escorted in their carriages about the fair grounds. The special train was brought to the fair grounds nnd the party boarded it und started for homo at 1 o'clock. G rover Greets the Konians. HOME , Gn. , Oct. 20.

Piles oi plno knots and torches were burning at all the way stations. The train passed Dnlton about 11 o'clock , and the tourists were about retiring. A JeflTersonlan Reception. WASHINGTON , Oct. 20. [ Special Telegram to the HUE. ] It is not likely now that any thing will bo done toward a formal reception to the president and Mrs. Cleveland upon their return to Washington next week , Some of the friends of the president have de termined that ho should be received as well in Washington as ho had been at every othci point along the route of the trip. Hut the people who came to the front and undertook to run the urrnngements had u sum of monej left over from the Sheppurd affair und thoi proposed to use it in the illumination of the avenue with a pyrotechnical display. Those who nro not quite ready to canonize Sheppard say this would bo un exceedingly unwise po litical move. They were sure that It would not receive the approval of the president if il came to his knowledge , ns it certainly would For these reasons it was proposed to abau don the proposed reception nnd when the president and Mrs. Cleveland return thcj will drive to the white house us they him heretofore done without nny tnoro ccro mony than the cheering of the crowd whlcli will bo assembled at the station to welcome them back. - * IVESTEItX WATERWAYS.

[ Special Telegram to the HEB. ] Neither Black , Solomon , Pryor nor Butler , counsel for the nnnrchlsts , have yet nrrlved in the city , but nil except , per haps , Butler , nro expected by a late train to night. Hon. J. Randolph Tucker , who has had charge of the arrangements at this end of the line , Is In the city and will take n prominent pnrt in the proceedings. The nr- KUincnts will bo mndo by Messrs. Tucker , Pryor und Butler , and Black nnd Solomcn will net ns advisory counsel. Mr. Tucker Is confident , ns are all the rest of the counsel , that the writ of error will be granted on con stitutional grounds and claim that they ran cite the most convlnclnclng precedents in support of their arguments. If the writ is granted n stay of proceedings will bo or dered und Oscar Necbo will bo returned to the Cook county jail from the .Toilet peniten tiary. The state of Illinois would doubtless , sk the discharge of the writs , but these of ourso would bo refused. When the date or the hearing arrives the counsel for the itato will move for the anirmatlon of the ecision of the supreme court of Illinois. L'hen the case will bo sot down for trial on lie calendar and it may IxS two years before t is reached , unless u special order bo made. \s both parties to the cnuso would pray for n ipecial order , It is possible that n hearing may be had insldo of six months. If thu t of error bo granted , In the event of a eversnl of the judgment of the stnto court , .he case will be remanded for n now trial. Counsel for the anarchists will claim that ustico Mngrudcr avoided the case , us made > y the state , nnd made an entirely now hnrgo of conspiracy not sustained by the records. For Instance , the state had ns n iriuclpul the proposition that violent si > et'ch ind counsel to disorder rendered those guilty if the net principnl in all the criminal ro- ults arising from such utterances. The itrongcst exceptions were taken to these ulints on the ground that they were uncon- ititutional. Judge Gary maintained his post- .ion . , but Judge Mngradcr not only held that .here was nothing in the exception nor even n the attitude of the state to make these points vitnl. It is therefore asserted that ho inude up a supposition charge of conspiracy. Upon this und other similar points the conn- > cl expected to build up an impregnable case. For the Seven Condemned.

Statement or Secretary Bayard About the Seized Canadian Sealers. NEW YOIIK , Oct. 20. [ Special Telegram to , ho HEB. ] A Washington special to the Herald says : Secretary Bayard was seen nt a Into hour last night in regard to the alleged npology to Canada for the delay in releasing ho Canadian sealers in the Bchring sen. Mr. Bayard said : "In Fcbruury last the presi dent of the United States ordered Uio rclcuso of those British vessels seized in the Hen- ring sea for nllcged violntion of the laws of the United States regulating the capture of fur scnl. The fact that ho had BO ordered ho release wus at once communicated to the British minister ut the capital , who , under instructions of his government , hud inquired concerning the matter within u week whether these vessels had been released in accordance with the president's order. On inquiry at the department of justice it was found to thu suprlso of the secretary of the state that ow ing to some misapprehension or misconcep tion of the president's order the vessels had not been released. Thereupon the depart ment of justice immediately renewed the older for their release , nnd the fnct of this renewal of the order of the president made in February lust was at once communicated to the Urilish minister with nn expression of regret that the first order had not been promptly obeyed. No other apology or communication whatever to the British government or to Canada has been made upon this subject. " An Ottawa special to the same pnpcr says : Those who have watched the controversy since the first seizures in August of last year , the minister of justice thinks , cannot but have been struck with the vast amount of contradiction on the part of the United States authorities. Long after the intelligence of the seizure of the Caroline , the Onward und the Thornton reached the Canadian govern ment , the Washington authorities , according to published correspondence , were waiting for authentic information from Alaska. Ile- pcntcd demands were made by the imperial government for a statement of the intention of the United States government , andfinully , Jn February of that year , came the order of the attorney-general for the release of the vessels. How the order of the government was'disobeycd uy the officials of the United States government 'In Alaska has been al ready published. In the American press Mr. Bayard's attention has , during the interven ing mouths , been called to the conduct of the Alaska ofllciuls , and although in an interview with a newspaper correspondent in Washing ton ho domed that it was possible for a United States officer not to carry out the wishes and orders of the government , evi dently ho had had a contrary view forced upon his mind. Correspondence Made Public. WASHINGTON , Oct. 20. The correspond ence between the department of justice and its officers in Alaska regarding the release ol the British sealers seized In 1880 wns made public to-day. January 20 , 18S7 , the atUmioi general telegraphed Judge Dawson and At torney Bull directing the release of the ves nel nnd the discontinuance of proceedings Tills was followed by a letter from Marshu' Atkinson , under date of September 20 , in which ho says that the attorney general's telegram was considered fraudulent , not withstanding Judge Dawson hud delayci proceedings nnd written to the department for instructions. Under date of October 11 the attorney general sent n telegram t < Marshal Atkinson once more ordering the release lease of the vessels nnd followed this with i letter of verification under date of October 1G Klect Officers.

DECISION OF JUDGE JAMIESON , Ho Kxnmlnrfl the Cnso Carefully Hf' fore Com I UK to n Conclusion Motion For nn Arrest of Judgment. Bnd For the Iloodlrrfl. CHICAGO , Oct. 20. [ Speciul Telegram to the BEK. ] The "boodlers" in the omnibus cas had their hopes of a now trlnl fastened to M rope of sand. At 10 o'clock this morning , when they filed Into Judge Jumlcson's court , nil of them betrayed signs of ncrviniRticss. Manifestly they Indulged some luipe that tba efforts of their lawyers might be , after nil , rewarded with nn advantage , however slight nnd mayhap lend to the grunting of'n new trial. Five minutes nfter Judge .TumtcMTn begun to rend his decision , however , thesa hopes were dashed , and twenty minutes ) Inter , when thu rending wns ended , "thd boys" found themselves onu step und n lope one nearer to thu penitentiary. Almyst the lust barricade iu thu technical fortifications of the defense wns down. During the pro nouncement of the court the utmost stillness ; reigned. Most of the seats were occupied. I his. characteristic , terse und epigrammatic ) way Judge Jamlcson went to the very root of the questions Involved In the application for a new trial. In rendering his decision Judgot Jnmicson said the conspiracy should bo proved , us alleged , and within n period.cir cumscribed by the statute of limitations. H wns urged that the court erred In admitting testimony tending to establish the conspiracy more than eighteen months prior to the llnd-i ing of the indictment. U being Incumbent ] on thu state to establish the ullugud conspi racy , it was not Improper to show when tna : onsplrney began. Proof of its bcglnriincj nnd growth wns proof of its existence. Time proof it wns obligatory on the prosecution to sustain. It wus thu fault of thu defense that thu statute of limitation was non brought to the attention of thd Jury. On the point of the discharge ; of the Jurors , Ostrnnder mid Parks , ' .ho point hud bcun fully discussed during the ) progress of the trial. Touching on the iwint } hat Klchm furnished certain Information to ) hu state , the court remarked that the infow mution only related to nn attempt to pack tha Jury. "Tho defendants' say that no such1 schema existed and if It did not exist Kuhm ) ( lIsiHiscil of no secret udviintugeouB to the statu und disadvantageous to thu defendant ! ) . "Jut if it did exist the uxposuru wus credl- able , no mutter how unfairly it wus ob tained. " With regard to the testimony oj the wltncssugulnst ) Wren und the admission ot- Nic Schneider's books in uvidonco , thu courh said that they formed u pnrt of the uvidcncot of thu conspiracy and were tlioroV fore ndmissnble. New trials word not granted , moreover , because of lucid objections employed by counsel in the heat of argument. Thu judguditi posed of thu objections to his Instructions to the Jury In brief order. The court went one "Tho jury that tried thlscusu wus an ox-t" ceptionally Intelligent body of men uiuVl could not boliuve that the conclusion arrived at by them wus reuchud through nny medium other than the testimony which they heard. , Nearly nil of the Instructions given on b&i hnlf of the people had received the snnctiom of distinguished courts , nnd upon the wholes I can see"no reason why the original verdict should bo disturbed. " WuHsermun nnd Oclis , once the first few words of the court inada it plain Unit the motion wns to bo overruled , leaned buck In their chairs . ulia a sudden pallor overspread their fuccs. Wren occupied u scat buck ; of the other defendants und his hands twitched nervously , as If ho were doing' his utmost to conceal u fooling of strong cxv citemcnt. When the court finally declared thutthu verdict of the jury could irot bu dis turbed , Attorney Sullivan moved for un ur rest of Judgment. Saturday next was fixed on ns the day when n date for the discussion on this question should bo submitted. By 10) ) o'clock the court instructed the attorneys to bo present so us tu dispose of the whole mnt- tor ns quickly ns possible.
