LONDON , Oct. 2. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tun HER. ] Among the
arrivals nttlio Hotel Motropolo ou August 0
were two Americans. Both wcro young , ono
about twenty-eight yours , nnd the other per
haps twenty-four. The former said his naino
wns W. S. Rocso and that ho cnmo from
Alabama. The younger of the pair said his
name was R. L. Rose , and that ho too came
from Alabama. Recso was about 5 feet 4 or
& inches ; his complexion was fair , hnlr light ,
and his small moustache wns frizzed both to
port and starboard. Ho had an off-hand way
that is said to have been taking , how "ink-
ihff' will soon ajipcnr. Rose wns fair-
haired nnd fair complexioncd , with a smooth
nnd boyish-looking face , but a bravo und
mannish manner.
Some days prior to the arrival of the men
at the Metropolo , there walked Into the
UUItcd States consular ofllco an American
whd stood 0 feet 2 Indies lull In thin-soled
boots. Ho .was inrgo enough to 1111 n han
som without trying. Ho ushed for General
Now , the United States consul to London.
Ho was ushered Into General New's ' private
oflice. Bo said his niimo was W. S. Recso
nnd that ho came from Alabama. Ho also
* ald that ho was heavily interested in the
Iron manufacturing Industry of Birming
ham nnd that the principal object of his visit
to London wns to Interest English capitalists
In developing the wonderful natural re-
bOiirrr.B of Alabama. He produced let
ters from Ulalno and a United
States senator from Alabama. These
lottcM certified that Rceso was
all that ho said he was. Rceso was in need
of considerable information , and ns onn of
tthi duties of the United States consul to
London Is to supnly any nnd all information
Omt may bo wanted by the army of Ameri
cans who call upon him , General Now of
course was equal to the occasion. About
the last bitpf information for which Mr.
'Rc'cso asked was tbo address of a tailor who
K ? would clothe him in the latest fashion nnd at
III a price which any Alabaman who did not
move In the first circle of tnilordom would
scorn to accept. General New wrote on ono
sldoof n visiting curd that W. S. Reese
t
wits a man of character and
'directed the card to S Nelson , of If ! Hun-
ever Vrcct. This card Rceso carefully put
In his pocket. Not long afterwards , so It is
supposed , ho just ns carefully lost it , a fact
> which ho failed to communicate either to
Genera , ! Now or to Nol ; on until It wns too
late for ( ho information to bo of much value.
On August 9 a well dressed young man
.walked 1-ito Nelson's tailor shop and pre
sented General New's card , upon the back
of which it VMS stated that W. S. Recao was
> n-nii.j of character. Ever since ho opened
his faliop Nelson had been on the look out for
mon of this kind. Besides , Nelson has made
clothes not to nn extent entirely snt-
tsfuctor to himself , nut still ho niatlu
clothes for General Now , and ho wanted
moro custom of some kind. What could ho
. , doforRocsoi The latter wanted quite a lot
t of clothes , but would order only ono morning
walking suit in order to satisfy himself that
Nelson was up to the proper notch. The
suit was made and sent to the M > : tropolo.
- Rccsu called in n couple of days to say that
, the clothes were admirable In every way.
On his second visit to Nelson's shop Reese
was accompanied by Roso. The latter com
plimented Nelson ou his skill as a tailor ,
* said ho wns rather tired of his own tailor
' Weiss , of Now York , according to the stamp
on his clothes and had determined to give
Nelson nn order , Nelson was naturally
pleased and ut once begun to ex
hibit the best goods In his
stock. Both of his new customers
wanted fur top coats. Rceso said he pre
ferred astrakhan , and after some discussion
upon thu strong and weak points 01 astrak
han and seal , both ngrccd to take astrakhan.
They wanted the best , of course , and money ,
thuy hinted , was no object. Rose was , so
Rcc \\rivntely \ informed Nelson , a son of
' ono of the largest iron manufacturers in the
United States. Clothes to the viiluo of
200 were ordered before the wants of the
lurge-lieurtcd Americans wcro satisfied.
Rose Huegcstod that his clothes bo sent to
tlio Motropolo. Several times ho uskod the
head salesman to bo sure and send the bill
with tha clothes. Ho had a horror of overdue -
duo tailor bills and ho wanted to reap the
benefit of the usual cash discount , Reese
eatd ho was stopping at tlio Savoy. His
clothes were to be sent thoro. Ho w.w quite as
nnxious as Rose that the bill should bo sent
'
with the clothes. Bills of any kind disturbed
Ills sleep , nnd In ono respect ho wns n per
fect baby without his sleep ho was not
himself. Neltton Is now of the opinion that
Rceso hud been without sleep for two
weeks.
Both orders were tilled nnd both were de
livered nt thu respective addresses of Uoso
and Uceao. Rocso suhl ho would expect his
clothes ut the Savoy hotel on August 21 ,
Oddly enough ho did not bccoino u guest
there until August ' . ' 0. lie loft the Hotel
Motropolo on vAugust 10 , nnd wheru ho
stopped from thut dutu until the 20th is not
known. When ho loft tha Motropolo ho said
ho was going to Liverpool and usked that all
letters or parcels that might roach ttie hotel
for htm should bo sent to Liverpool ,
Rosa remained nt thu Motropolo until Sep
tember 23 , nnd upon paying his bill said he was
bound for Liverpool. Before leaving ho re-
calved thu clothes and the bill. Nobody em-
in or about tlio hotel noticed thut ho
displayed any.aii.xlcty about the bill utter ho
received the clothes.
On August 21 two young men who seemed
possessed of plenty of clothes and unbur
dened with an ounce of euro took u steamer
nt Liverpool for Now York. Whether or
not they blosjotned out In these astrakhan
top cixits < > ! ) till ) , vpyugo U not known to Nol-
BOu , but lie hopes thuy did , und gave ills
name , as ho Is willing to bunk his reputation
f ou the quality and cut of those coats.
About September ] . Nelson's head
salesman thought It was curious that
the gentlemen who had displayed so much
anxiety nbout their bills should permit thu
latter to remain unpaid for a week. Ho
called nt the Metropolp and discovered that
Rose hud wafted himself thence just a week
before ? } Further Inquiry proved that Rceo
and Rose had loft London nt the same tlmo ,
Tha situation was explained to Nelson. Ho
began to have qualms. Ho called upon Gen-
pral New and asked him If ha had f/lven a
Card 10 W. 8. Reese. New answered uOlrui-
ttlvely , Relief W the value uf 200 was at
once oipcrlonccd by Mr. Nelson , nnd for the
first tlmo In several hours ho breathed ns If
tha breath cost nothing1. General Now asked
If there wns nny further information ho
could give. Mr , Nelson confessed that
for . n few moments ho had
brought himself to think there
might have been n weak point In his armor.
As Nelson talked nn. expression of doubt
gradually took possession of Now's coun
tenance. Finally ho nsked Nelson to describe -
scribe Reese. Nelson began the Job , but had
got no further than that ho was a very short
man , whnn General Now exclaimed :
"That is not the man nt nil. "
General Now mr.y have said something
else , too , but the above remark was enough
to satisfy Nelson. Ha had been swindled
nnd that tha swindlers had escaped for the
tlmo being nt least. Ha Insists that there
was nothing of tha ordinary swindler
In thn appearance of cither the
spurious Rceso or of Rose. They looked nnd
spoke like gentlemen , ho says , and ho would
have remained longer In ignorance ot their
true character had not their anxiety nbout
the bills induced htm to look thorn up.
How Reese , who culled upon General Now ,
lost the hitter's card , or how It cnmo Into the
possession of Reese , who called upon Nelson ,
is not known to u certainty , but It prooably
will bo. Meantime Nelson tmi no notion of
raising his prices.

Reporter , In its review of the market for the
week , will to-morrow state thut trade gener
ally throughout the Atlantic seaboard con
tinues to show signs of steady improvement.
Boston is holding Its own , while Now York
and Philadelphia report a promising ad
vance. Tlio feature of the market Is ,
however , that whlluat tha lust report prices
were below the regular quotations , this week
they are above. This power of resistance of
the market against the pressure of the man
ufacturer for lower prices Is the admitted
small stock in the mills and the largo stored
quantities on hand. This has made the west
unusually confident , and much of tao
wool which is held hero and
in the country ou account of interior
dealers or consignors could not be sold nt to
day's quotation , except at a loss of la to 2c
per pound. However , the buying , whether
ncnr or fur off , must of u necessity conic ,
which Is but small satisfaction to the manu
facturers. The prices seem to remain nbout

was re-elected without opposition. He
thanked thu league for thu renewal of its ex

Sherman S. Rogers read n long series of
resolutions , which wore adopted , dealing
with the treatment civil service reform was
receiving. The resolutions state that the ex
ecution of the law Is seriously endangered
by thu appointment as heads of ollk > os of
men not in sympathy with tliu law or Its pur
poses. The resolutions condemn tha presi
dent for having abdicated his power of ap
pointment by placing appointments ut the
dUpoDul of partisan loader * , thus enabling
them to debauch constituencies and control
elections. The record of thu administration
in regard to the railway mall survico is se

that the pledge of tliu president that fitness ,

Pinnnn , S. D , , Oct. 2. South Dakota's
first state election descended to n scramble
for the capital location. There has been no
light on anything else. Mollotto Is elected
governor by 20,000 majority. PIckler and
Glflord go to congress. The republican ma
jority In the legislature will bo ut least sixty ,
Insuring the election of two republican
United States senators. The vote was
enormous , probably 80,000 , and the trade and
sale of ballots wns on the capital light.
For the capital Pierre , Huron , Wntortown ,
Chamberlain , Sioux Falls nnd Mitchell were
entered. Reports received up to this morn
ing indicated a vote for Plorro of 2(1.003 ( , Hu
ron 21,000 , Sioux Falls 11,000 , Watertown
10,000. Mitchell 7,000 and Chamberlain 0,000 ,
All the ante-election tnllc of fraud proved
but wind , the election being very quiet , and
so far as reported no frauds were attempted
nnd no lights permitted. Huron has not
given UD the fight , but this morning still
claims to have secured tbo capital , us also
does Sioux Fulls.
Owing to the great interest tnlcen In the cap
ital contest but little attention was irivon to
minority representation and it was doubtless
defeated. The fate of prohibition hangs In
the balance. In a square fight it would
probably have carried , but voles on this
question wore recklessly traded on the capi
tal location , nud the vote , whatever It Is. will
not fairly represent the sentiments of the
people of South Dakota.

ono of the most oxeltinc In the history of the
Black Hills. The diverse Interests and ques
tions to bo voted on mixed things up badly ,
nnd madu the result very doubtful. Full re
turns have not yet been received from the
outlying precincts , but enough has been ob
tained to indicate heavy democratic gains
nearly everywhere. O. M. Thomas ( dcm )

county judge is very .close. The full repub
lican legislative ticitot has bccu elected in

Wolseuiouth , by reduced majorities.
Pierre for the capital is far ahead In the
race , with Huron second , and Sioux Falls
third. Prohibition is defeated by from 500
to 1,000.
Some of the most remarkable surprises m
the whole election were seen hero. In Lead
City , whcro the Uomcstaku mine is located ,
prohibition received a majority of the votes
cast in two wards , and a big vote was cast
for it in the wood camps. It was snowed
under in Deadwpod by 5'JO ' majority. Butte
county elects n democratic member of the
legislature. Meade , Ponnlngton and Full
River counties are largely democratic. It
was n land slide. The republicans and dem
ocrats are now rejoicing everywhere.

received 741 votes for governor , to 030 for
Roach ( dcm. ) . The vote ou congressmen
was about the same. McConnell ( dem. ) is

elected their utlro Icfialatlvo tickets In
the various legislative 'districts of
this county , with the immlblo ex
ception of the candidate ' for Iho senate
from the Eleventh district. Twenty-eight

three hundred voles ngnlntt It , The vote for

that in six districts each party probably elects
nu equal number of district Judges.
The prohibitionists assert they have car
ried the state. Farpo , Blsmnrch and Grand

THE MlSSISSU'ri CAMPAIGN.
Republicans arriving in Washington from
Jackson , Miss. , say the work of the recent
republican nominating convention in that
state proves a very sorry disappointment to
the shotgun brigade , and the bourbons of
the state are trying to iimko the head of the
tiultet the issue along with the race issue ,
nnd are avoiding the real questions before
the country.
It will bo remembered that the convention
nominated General Juines 11. Chalmers , efFort
Fort Pillow notoriety , for the gov-
crnorshiu , nnd since tuo convention
was largely composed of colored
men. the bourbons are attempting
to deride the nomination , as Chalmers was
ono of the loading confederate brigadiers
during tho' late \vttt and therefore fought for
slavery. The object of the republicans in
nominating Chalmers was to secure n white
ticket on which it would bo Impossible for
the bourbons to successfully raise the race
Issue.Thern'omlriccs tfroTIH white men ex
cept N. II. MolHson , who is the nominee for
secretary of state. Molltsou is a man of
education , culture and property. The demo
crats are thus confronted with white men
who wore once in their ranks. Before tno
shotgun policy was inaugurated the bourbons
bens invariably nominated ono colored man
nt oauh of their state conventions and in the
last campaign ran a colored man for secre
tary of state. Notwithstanding this fact
the democrats have issued a cir
cular stating that it is simply
n question whether wluto or colored mon
ahull hold the ofllees and rule the state's
affairs. The bourbons nominated their state
ticket about a month ago nnd ttie.v have
practically withdrawn their platform and
raised the race issue. The republicans , con
fident thut they have a majority of the votes
in the state , intend to push their ticket xvith
all the possible vigor nnd attempt to elect it ,
although they have no hopes whatever that
their ballots will bo counted. The election
takes place November 12. General Chal
mers has clinlleged Lowrey , cno democratic
candidate for governor , nnd it comes hero to
night that the challenge will bo declined on
the ground that " 'a nigger is on the repub
lican ticket. "

says that Senator Allison will bo ro-olcctcd ,

Mr. Struble has taben a' great interest , in

that efforts will be made to further amend
the inter-state commiirco law before the
amendments adopted at the last session lire
thoroughly tested Further legislation is
needed nnd 1 shall favor It , but wo will have
to feel our way. "
"The agitation about Iho irrigation of the
arid plains of tliu west , " continued Mr.
Strublo , "will attract universal attention
und bring abou' , needed legislation. Irriga
tion can be accomplished by the storage sys
tem in the mountains nnd by dividing the
wutcr courses and diggincr artesian wells.
\Vecun make productive almost as much
public- land as the government is now the
possessor of and these lauds will bo butter

is constitutional authority for providing for
irrigation and there is no reason why it

similar to the Inter-state commerce commis

WASHINGTON , Oct. S. The delegates to the
International American congress assembled
t tbo etato department this morning , and
were presented to Secretary Blnlno , who de
livered n felicitous address of welcome.
Blnluosaldt
'Gentlemen ' of the International American
conference : Spenklng for the government
of the United States I hid you welcome to
this capital. Speaking for the people of the
United States I bid .you welcome to every
section and every stnto In the union , You
came in response to the Invitation extended
by the president on the special authorization
of congress. Your presence hero Is no ordi
nary event. It stgnillcA much to the people
of all America to-day. It may signify far
more In days to come. No conference of na
tions over nsscmblcd to consider the welfare
of territorial possessions so vust , nnd to con
template the possibilities of n fu
ture so great and inspiring.
Those now sitting within those walls
are empowered to spcnk for nations which
border on botli the great oceans , whoso
northern limits are touched by the Arctic
water ! ) for thousands of miles buvoiid the
straits of Bnhring , whoso southern exten
sions furnish human habitations further
below the equator than Is elscwhoro ] iossiblo
ou tha globe. While considerations of this
character must inspire Americans , both
south nnd north , with the liveliest anticipa
tions of their future grandeur nnd power ,
they must also Impress them with n sense of
the gravest responsibility touching tha char
acter and development of their respective
nationalities. Tha delegates whom I am ad
dressing can do much to establish Dormnucnt
relations nf confidence , respect and friend
ship between the nations which they repre
sent , f hey can show to the world tin hon
orable , peaceful conference of seventeen in
dependent American powers , in which all
shall meet on terms of absolute
equality , a conference in which
there can ho no attempt to co
erce n nlnglo delegate ngatnst. bin
own conception of the interests of his nation ,
n confidence which will permit no secret un-
dcrstanding-on any subject , but will frankly
publish to tlio world nil its conclusions , neon-
foronco which will tolerate no spirit of con-
uucst but will aim to cultivate American
sympathy , broad ns both continents ; n con
ference which will form no i-olllsli alllaneo
against older nations from which wo are
proud to claim inheritance , n conference in
line which will seek nothing , propose noth
ing , endure nothing that Is not , the general
sense of nil the delegates , timely , and xviso
nnd peaceful.
"And yet wo cannot bo expected to fnrco t
that our common futo has made us inhabi
tants of two continents which nt the close of
four centuries are regarded beyond the sous
ns the new world. Like 'situations be ot
like sympathies nnd impose like duties. Wo
meet In the linn belief that the nations of
America ought to and can bo more helpful
each to the other ttian they now ure , and
that each will find ndvantago and profit from
nn enlarged intercourse with the others. Wo
bellovo wo should bo drawn together more
closely by the highways of the sea and that
ut no distant duy tha railway systems of the
north mid the south will meet upon the isth
mus and connect by land routes the political
and commercial capitals of nil America.
' 'Vo believe that hearty co-operation , based
on heart confidence , will save the American
states from burdens nnd evils winch have
long and cruelly afflicted the older nations of
the world. All believe the spirit of justice ,
of common and equal Interest between Amer
ican states will leave no room f or nn artificial
balance of power llko unto that which has
drenched Eurooo in blood. Wo bcllevo
friendship , avowed with candor and main
tained with good faith , will remove from the
American states the necessity of guarding
tno boundary lines between themselves with
fortifications nnd military force. Wo bollcvo
that standinR armies , Do.yoml-tl.o.ifrwliiolrnre
needful for the public order nnd the safety
of internal administration , should be un
known on both American continents. Wo
believe that friendship , and not force , should
bo the recognized rule between American na
tions.
"To those subjects and those which are
cognate thereto , the attention of this confer
ence is earnestly nnd cordially Invited by the
government of the United States. It will bo
u grout gain when wo shall acquire that
common confidence on which nil interna
tional friendship must rest , it will bo n
greater pain when wo shall bo able to bring
till the American nations into closer ac
quaintance with each other , nn end to bo
facilitated by more frcqrcnt and moro rapid
Inter-communlc.ition. It will be tbo greatest
gum when the personal and commercial rela
tions of tiic Amnrlcan states , south und
north , shall bo so developed and regulated
that each shall ncqulro the highest possible
advantages from the enlightened and en
larged intercourse of all.
Before the conference shall formally enter
upon the discussion of the subjects to bo
submitted to it I am Instructed by the Presi
dent to Invite all the guests of the govern
ment during tlio proposed visit , to the
various parts of the country , with the double
view of showing to our friends from abroad
the condition of the United States and of
giving 10 our homes thn privilege and pleas
ure of extending the warm welcome of
Americans to Americans. "
The address was received with nn nmount
of enthusiasm somewhat mmurkubto In a
body of such character.
At the conclusion of his speech Secretary
niaino withdrew nnd resolutions were
adopted naming J. G. Blnlno as president of
the congress. John H. Henderson acted as
president pro tomporo. A number of com-
mittotis were then appointed , after which
congress adjourned until Monday , November
10. Secretary Blnlno then came In nnd es
corted the members of congress to the white
house. The president gnva a special recep
tion at 10:30 : , ona of the features of which
was an informal lunch served in the state
dining room at 2 o'clock.
Secretary lilalno gave a banquet to the
delegates nt tha Hotel Normandle to-ulght.
It was a most brilliant gathering.

BOSTON , Oct. 2. [ Special Tclcurnm toTn
Bnn.J The address which Sir Kctwin Arnold ]
delivered in Sanders' theatre , Cambridge ,
last night , WA.S of rare value' . The niultonca
was very large , nnd gave the lecturer so
royal n welcome ns to put dim in Immcdiata
touch with his hearers. The subject of the
address was "The Upunischnd , or Tha
Didactic Poems of the Ancient Brahmin
Forest Philosophers. " Mr. Arnold naively
informed his hearers at the outset that ho
supposed the nniiio was ns now to them ns it
was to Alexander when ha first encountered
the sages of the Indian Jungles , two thousand - -
sand years ago. The ideii expressed by tha
word Upanlschnd was , ho naid , that of a
pupil sitting nt the feet of n master , some
times listening for twenty years In sllonco
before ho dnrod to ask the first niiostlon.
Tlio similarity of thoUpahtschud to Iho blblo
In doctrine , nnd even in lungungo , is renmrk-
nblo. U Is wrong , he said , emphatically , to
call India idolatrous. It is monotheistic.
Mr. Arnold had soniu very interesting
things to say nbout the doctrine of trims' ,
migration which these wood sago umcht.
The North American Indians , the A'.tecs.lho
Egyptians had anticipated Darwin In
ninny of his generalizations. We have com
pletely forgotten the Ilrst yours of our lives ,
yet wo know wo lived In those yonrs. Tha'
gentle teaching of the esoteric Hindoo was
illustrated bv numerous quotations , gruco *
fully delivered nnd Interspersed with re-
innrics llko this : ,
"It Is bettor to live In transcendental sun-
shina than In Culvinistlc gloom. "
" 1 wouldn't give ono verso of the sermon
on the mount for n thousand Upanischads.
but I do love sunshine better than trloom.niuf ,
I nm grateful to the old sages for tlio radi
ance of their loaclilng. "
In India , with its 1 > 00,000,000 Inhabitants ,
there never occurs a murriugo of inclination , ,
yet theru nra moro happy marriages in India ,
morn happy Homes , more pure domi-atic rela
tions , than in any other part of thu world.
This statement , delivered with grout imprea-
sivcncss. evidently staggered the audience.
But the lecturer wont on to fortify his asser
tion with facts.
Sir Edwin closed his intensely Instinctive
and interesting lecture by o.xurcssinit the
hnno thut the task of dispensing the light of
Asia would bo taken up by the young men
who heard , and that this wonderful young
nation would obtain the uenellts of the II'
lamination.
