BLAINE IN THE WEST.
HR UOKS TO HEI.P TARIFF BILL M - KIN-
LEY.
Canton, O., October 25.—Secretary
Blaine arrived here from Pittsburg at noon
today. He was met at Alliance by the re
ception committee from Canton and es
corted to this city over the Pennsylvania
road. A crowd of 3,000 people greeted
Blaine with loud cheering as he alighted
from the train, and followed his carriage
cheering aHjtlie way to the home of Major
McKinley, whose guest he was during his
stay here. Blaine was accompanied by
Mrs. Blaine and her daughter, Miss Harri
ett Blaine, and Win. Walter Phelps,
Minister to Germany. Upon their arrival
at the residence of Major McKinley an in
formal reception was held. The early
trains in the forenoon had brought large
delegations of Republicans from Youngs
town, Alliance, Massillon and other towns
in this and adjoining districts. The
streets were thronged, and at 1:30 o'clock
p. in. the parade, in inarching columns,
occurred. Shortly after noon it began
raining, and it was decided to have the
meeting at the Tabernacle instead of at
the fair grounds as originally intended.
The building was packed, as was also the
Academy of Music, at which an overflow
mealing was held. Blaine made his prin
cipal address at the Tabernacle where he
was followed by Major McKinley. Then
he was driven to the Academy of Music,
but made only a brief speech. Congress
man Dalzell was the principal speaker at
the Academy.
MONROE SOLID FOR GORDON.
RESULT OF THE PRIMARY YESTERDAY
FOR SENATOR.
Forsyth. Ga.. October 25.—[Special.]
The following is the result of the primary
held today to determine the choice of
Monroe county for United States Senator.
The vote in four districts, all heard from
as yet, is as follows: Gordon 171, J. C. C.
Black 1, and T. M. Norwood I. Neither
Judge Hines, Judge Smith. Geu. Gartrell,
nor any of the other gentlemen whose
names nave been mentioned for the office,
received a vote. A number of districts are
yet to hear from, but it is believed they
will increase the majority in somewhat
the same proportion.
FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
THE LEAGUE WINNERS PLAYING THE DE
CIDING GAMES.
Brooklyn, October 25.—The weather
was cold and the grounds wet and muddy.
The game was the fifth of the series for
the championship of the world between
the respective winners of the National
League and the American Association.
The Bridegrooms won the third victory
easily. The Kentuckians have won one
game of the series and one was a tie. The
Bridegrooms played a remarkable game,
their fielding work being perfect. Dono
van’s base running was brilliant, while
the batting of the home team was fine.
The score was: Brooklyn 7, Louisville 2.
Hits—Brooklyn 7, Louisville 5. Errors—
Brooklyn 0. Louisville 6. Batteries—
Lovell aud Daly, Daly and Ryan.
THE BANK PAID OUT.
Washington, October 25.—The Comp
troller of tlie Currency has declared an
interest dividend of 100 per cent in favor
of the creditors of the National Bank of
Sumpter, S. C., on claims proved amount
ing to $75,342. The bank failed in Au
gust, 1887.
A BIG COTTON MILL.
Austin, Texas, October 25.—The lead
ing citizes of Austin yesterday held a mass
meeting and determined to put up a cotton
mill costing $500,000. The company was
formally organized today.
Washington, October 25.—Between
four and five hundred members of the
British Iron and Steel Institute and the
Yerein Dutscher Eissenbuettenlente, ar
rived in this city at a very early hour this
morning from the South. They came in
four special trains, and four hours after
their arrival the Northern contingent
reached the city. As soon as the visitors
had made their toilets on the sleeping cars
they were taken in charge by a local com
mittee consisting of Major J. W. Powell
chairman, Gen. A. W. Greely, Prof. S. P.
Langley, Prof. T. C. Menden
hall. Commander F. M. Bar
ber, Arnold Hague and others.
Preparations for the receptions of the
party had been made a number of days
previous and under the guide of the recep
tion committee the visitors were soon
comfortably quartered at the Arlington
and Ebbitt House. When the visitors had
breakfasted and examined their mail .which
had accumulated here for them, they
were prepared to begin sight seeing. Some
started at once for the Patent office and
the Postoffice Department, others were
escorted to the Treasury, and a large
party went to the Capitol, and thence to
the Navy Yard, where they saw a good
deal in the new ordinance works to inter
est them. Between sixty an^l seventy
ladies were included among the
visitors, and as it was felt
that their interest in iron works and
technical matters had begun to wane after
their extended tour through the industrial
centers, the local committee made a de
parture from the preceding program, and
placed them in “tally hoes’’ and other
large coaches and gave them a drive
around the city, to the Washington monu
ment, capitol and out to the picturesque
grounds of the Soldiers' Horae. All of
the visitors were enthusiastic over the
success of their tour.
THE VISITORS WELL PLEASED.
Tiiey were unanimous in praise of $he
country, the people and the city of Wash
ington.
Secretary Kinchaff said: From first to
last the whole party have been treated
with the most lavish hospitality aud every
thing has been done to give them a good,
time.
AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
President Harrison gave the visitors it
special reception at the White House in
the afternoon at 3 o’clock. The entire
lower parlor of the House, with the excep
tion of the Blue Room, now under repair,
was thrown open for tiieir inspection, ami
the beautiful East Rooms where the re
ception took place was tastefully deco
rated with potted piaut3. As a special
compliment the Marine band was present
and played selections of English. German
and American airs.
The receiving party consisted of the
President and Mrs. Harrison, Secretary
and Mrs. Windom, Attorney General and
Mrs. Miller, Secretary aud Mrs. Rusk,
Secretary Proctor and Mrs. Dimmock.
They were accompanied by Assistant Sec
retary Adee, of the State Department, and
Col. Ernest, of the army, who assisted in
making the presentations. Owing to the
fact that the Executive Mansion is still in
the hands of the decorators and refur
nishers, thus rendering many rooms inac
cessible, the reception was necessarily in
formal, and consisted solely of a personal
presentation to President and Mrs. Har
rison. The party numbered nearly 400
persons, including many ladies. It was
the President’s desire to honor the visitors
with an evening reception of a more
formal character than the one given to
day, but this was found to be utterly im
possible because of the lack of illumina
tion facilities, most of the fixtures having
been removed and the proposed system of
electric lights not yet completed.
After the Presidential reception most of
the visitors started to the Corcoran
art gallery, which had been
specially opened- for their benefit.
After inspecting the works of art, the
party returned to their hotels to rest and
dine, preparatory to the evening’s enter
tainment. This consisted of a full dress
promenade concert at the Arlington.
There were present to meet the visitors a
number of Washington’s society people.
The music was rendered by the full Ma
rine Band and by the Schubers Glee C lub,
and the entertainment closed with
dancing. \

fractured and may not recover.. Engineer
Heller had his leg broken. Thomas
Welch, fireman, was badly scalded. The
passengere were Sadly shaken up. Some
have sprained wrists, but only two were
unable to take care of themselves. The
others walked to Potstown and took other
trains for their destination. The passen
ger cars remained on the track.
MOSES IN TROUP.
THE DEMOCRATIC RALLY IN L’GRANGE
YESTERDAY.
LaGbange, Ga., October 25.—[Special]
—Hons. W. Y. Atkinson, of Newnan, and
C. L. Moses, of Coweta, the Democratic
nominees for Congress in this district, ad
dressed a large audience at the court
house today. The speakers were intro
duced by Col. F. M. Longley. Mr. Atkin
son spoke on the leading issues of the day,
reviewing the history of the political par
ties, fthowing how the masses are bearing
the burden or the high protective tariff.
He closed by urging the Democrats to do
their duty at the polls on the 4th of Nov
ember.
Hon. C. L. Moses began his speech by
making a personal explanation. He said
that judging from the tone of the daily
press, he had been led to believe there
was indifference on the part of some Dem-
crats who were not Aiiiaiicemen as to the
result of the coming election. He said
that although he was an Ailianceinan, he
was a Democrat, and had rather have
his right arm severed from his shoulder
than say one word jthat would tend to split
the Democratic party. He then took up
the leading questions of the day and hand
led them in a very able manner. He cre
ated a fine impresson on the audience and
made many warm friends. Troup will
give him a h good majority, and it is
earnestly hoped that every other county in
the district will do the same.
THE FRENCH TARIFF.
REMARKABLE RESULTS FROM THE FIRST
TARGET PRACTICE.
Washington, October 25.—Diagrams
of the first target practice on the new
cruiser, Philadelphia, have just reached
the Navy Department. The practice was
at Gardiner’s Bay, October 4th, with six-
inch, three-inch and one-inch rapid fire
guns, and the results were remarkable.
At one range of 1,000 yards, sixty out of
sixty-two shots were lodged in an exact ver
tical line extendtending twenty feet above
the water line, which means that every
one of them would have hit an ordinary
war vessel in very nearly the same place.
As the siiip and guns were new, this first
trial is regarded as a satisfactory demon
stration of the quality of our ordnance,
and the ability of our gunners. ’

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THREE COAL CABS CAUSE A BAD ACCI
DENT.
Reading, Pa., October 25.—A Reading
railroad express train, which left here at
8:30 o'clock this morning, ran into three
loaded coal ears which were standing on
the track at the Warwick siding, half a
mile from Pottstown. Engineer James
Heller, when he saw that the crash was
inevitable, quickly reversed his engine and
put on the air brakes. The coal cars
were wrecked and the locomotive
fell on its side, while the tender
telescoped the smoking car. The escape
outlie passengers from both was miracu
lous. Joseph Markowitz, who was on one
of the coal cars, was killed. John Marks,
THE DUTIES FIXED 15Y THE NEW BILL.
Paris, October 25.—The new tariff bill
was issued today to the Chamber of Depu
ties. It dwells upon the tendency toward
protection displayed by most nationalities.
It refers especially to the high tariff of the
United States, Canada, and the South
American States. It proposes the follow
ing duties per 100 kilometers: On wheat
5 fanes, flour 8 francs, on
corn 3 francs, on corn meal 5 francs, and
on salt pork 12 francs. The duty on pe-
trolem has not been fixed, pending a de
cision on the proposals of the budget com
mission. In regard to cattle, the bill re
serves liberty of action, but the duty,
henceforth, will be levied on weight in
stead of by head. Cocoons and silk will
pay a duty, but raw silk • will
be free. Wool, raw cotton, flax, hemp,
fleeces, hides and jute are exempted from
duty. The duties on eggs, butter, oils,
seeds, wools, foreign and textile fabrics,
are increased. The duties 011 coal and
chemical products remain as at present,
but the tariff on medals lias been revised,
the duty on steel being lowered.

THE BEHRING SEA DISPUTE.
PREMATURE REPORT OF ITS SUBMISSION
TO ARBITRATION.
Washington, October 25.—The state
ment telegraphed from Canada, upon the
authority of a British member of Parlia
ment, that it has been resolved to submit
the Behring Sea fisheries dispute to arbi
tration is premature, so far as it may be
taken to imply a completed agreement on
the part of both Governments. It is
learned that the correspondence on the
subject is still in progress, but these are
hopeful signs that a satisfactory settle
ment of the vexed question will be reached
at a comparatively early day.

LEADING TRADE CENTER8 OX THE SUB
JECT—THE NEW RUSSIAN TARIFF.
NO REPRISALS ON AMERICA
CONTEMPLATED.
Berlin, October 25.—[Copyright, 1800
by the New York Associated Press.]—
The commission of the Reichstag, to which
were referred the labor bills, will resume
its sitting November 4. Time will thus
be given for a complete discussion of the
measures before the reassembling of the
Reichstag, in the first week of December.
The ultimate shape and fate of the bills
depend largely upon the Government
tact in securing a majority.^ The Centre
party continues to make the abo
lition of the proscription of
religious orders an absolute con
dition of its support of the Emperor’s
social reforms. The old Cartellists resist
the abolition section of the Progressists,
and all the Socialists, considering pro
scription contrary to the principles of a
free people, will vote with the Centrists.
Herr Windtharst reckons that there will
be 240 votes cast for the repeal of the law.
If the Government accepts the gage of
peace offered by the Centre
party, and accords the abolitions
desired, a strong majority will
be assured for the labor and other
social measures. Several official movements
point to the probability of the tariff
question engaging tne attention of the
Reichstag, rendering all the more neces
sary a careful nursing of the ministerial
majority. Thus a commission, compris
ing twenty members, has been appointed
under the Minister of the Interior to in
quire into the Austro-Gerraan commercial
relations, with a view to a reciprocal
diminution of the tariff. Experts, ap
pointed by the Federal Gov mmient, will
assist in the revision of the Austro-Ger-
man treaty. Communications from the
Ministry of the Interior have been sent to
the leading firms in Hamburg, Bremen,
Breslau and other trade centers, asking
them to report on the effects
of the McKinley bill in their
lines of trade. They are also asked what
prospect there is for finding new channels
for the merchandise affected by the Amer
ican tariff. The commission on the foreign
tariff further has to consider the new Rus
sian protection measure. The recent rais
ing of import duties imposed by Russia to
20 per cent was merely provisional, pend
ing the fixing of a new rate. The tariff
commission, drawn from the nubhc de
partments of tin; chief commercial centres
of Russia, and presided over by the
Finance Minister, will begin its sittings
next week for the purpose of de
ciding upon the details of the new
tariff, which the Novoe Yremya declares,
will be the highest in Europe. While the
Government recognizes the necessity of
considering tariff questions, officials Cir
cles continue to doubt that any important
alteration will be made in the existing
treaty with Austria, and are| equally skep
tical as to any German reprisal upon
American trade. Reports thus far re
ceived at- the Ministry of the Interior tend
to dissipate the feeling of alarm created
by the augmented American tariff. Lead
ing export houses appear to
be doing a nominal trade
American orders in the leading commer
cial centers do not apparently diminish.
However, the future may affect exports,
the Government has time to pause, and it
will not be driven into reprisals with Au
stria by a sudden collapse ill the Ameri
can trade. Reports emanating from Paris
and Vieria, attributing the initiation of a
propped concerted legislation in retalia
tion for the passage of the McKinley bill
with ihe Berlin Government are utterly
untrue. Since the Kibot overture looking
to such actiou were rejected, no commu
nication has passed between the French
and German Governments on the subjects.
Tariff negotiations with Austria originated
solely with Oount Kalnoky, the Austro-
Hungarian Prime Minister, and are being
continued without sanguine expectations
on the part of German officials of a bene
ficial issue.
Prices advanced 2* to 5c, and the market
closed rather quiet at outside figures.
Short rib sides—The trading was mod
erately active, prices 74 to 10c, but settled
2* to 5c, and closed comparatively steady.
SUN’S COTTON REVIEW.
New York, October 25.—Futures
opened at 1 to 2 points decline, closing
steady at 1 point advance on October, un
changed for November, and 2 to 3 points
decline on other months. The bulls had
a fresh disappointment today. The
little reaction toward better prices,
of which they were very confident
last evenine did not materialize. Liver
pool did not maintain values as was ex
pected, the big crop estimates began to be
accepted, and nothing but the timidity of
the bears, who notice the very large con
sumption that is in progress, saved the
market from a collapse. The weather was
good at the Sonth, and after a brief dry
ing spell the frosts may be defied.
Spot cotton was l-16c lower and dull.
THE CHICAGO MARKET.
REVIEW OF SPECULATION IN THE GRAIN
AND PROVISION MARKETS.
Chicago, October 25.—Wheat—There,
was a fair volume of trading. The feeling
was a little unsettled, and after slight ad
vances became weak. The opening .was
about the same to *c lower thao yester
day’s closing, becoming firm, and ad
vanced on reported export news about * to
5-8c, then became weaker, declining fc,
and closed about 1 to *c lower
than yesterday. There was nothing
particular in the foreign news to
cause much, if any change, but reported
export buying at the Seaboard and Brad-
street’s report of 1,783,000 bushels of
wheat and Hour reported from both coasts,
started some little buying and helped the
early advance. Then followed a decline
to inside prices, influenced by a further
decline in silver and reported increasing
receipts from the Northwest, aud quite
free arrivals at St. Louis, together with a
rather liberal increase in the visible sup
ply.
Corn was fairly active and an advance
was scored on all futures. The market at
the opening was inclined to be easy, but
it was soon apparent that the crowd was
“short,” having oversold yesterday, and a
little bidding put prices up, offerings being
light, though there was some pressure to
sell May at 544c. The first trades were at
yesterday’s closing prices, and under good
demand advanced J to fc, eased off 4c.
sold up 40, changing some, and closed
with * to 5-8c gain.
Oai were active, stronger, anti higher.
The trading was chiefly in May. several
brokers buying heavily. Their taking,
coupled with the advance in wheat 'and
corn, had good effect and prices advanced
4. receded f, but rallied to previous out
side figures, and close easy.
Mess Pork—There was a fair trade.
The opening sales were at 5 to 74c, ad
vance, and a few sales were made shortly
thereafter at 2*c reduction. Good buying
readily absorbed offerings, and prices
gradually rallied 10 to 104c, and prices
settled back again 7* to 10c, and closed
steady. m
Lard—The trading was only moderate.

A DAZZLING ENTERTAINMENT IN
PROSPECT.
WHAT THE LIBRARY DIRECTORS ARE AF
TER—KEEP YOUR EYE ON THEM.
Interest in the entertainment which the
Library is getting up for the benefit of the
Columbus public has been almost at fever
heat since the hint given in last week’s
“note,” and yesterday when four of the
directors were seen sailing around in one
of Fletcher’s swellest the affair assumed
rand proportions, and brought a hungry
horde of questioners to the Library.
“Whatare those men up to; they look too
jolly to mean business.” Alas for the cred
ulous public; a man may smile and smile
and be a fillin’ still the exchequer of a li
brary, and with a regular Anie Rooney
winning smile they got there yesterday!
Listen! On Monday night, the 2nd of
November, at the Public Library rooms
will begin the grandest festival ever given
here. In addition to elegant refreshments
of all kinds, and each evening (and there
will be six) a superb entertainment will
be given free. Many and varied
will be the atractions: Among the
features of one evening will be a broom
drill by fourteen from our rosebud garden
of girls. The drill captivated our Colum
bus Guards in Mobile last spring and will
be taught here by one of their most ob
servant members. A delightful concert
will be arranged for another evening, ta
which our best talent will lend their voices.
All Columbus remembers the Kinue.ss..
tambourine dance. An effort will b?
made to have this repeated. The stage
is to be lowered, electro lights are now be
ing put in, and everything possible will
be done for the convenience, comfort and
pleasure of both perfoimers and audience.
This work the city will be thoroughly
canvassed. A bevy of charm
ing young ladies and the direc
tors (also young and charm
ing) will literally take in the town,
and they are determined to let nothing
them dismay, positively they will be in
vulnerable. Achilles was a summer rose
compared to them. By the way, not to
digress, only to be strictly truthful, that
was a quotation from Jeromes Stage
Land, one of the many attractree books
recently bought by the library. We ques
tioned the why of a happy smile the libra
rian wore not long since. “We’ve just
had a visit from Air. 1 (mentioning the
brainiest man who ever visits this part of
the world), and he says we have a much
better class of books, more of them, and
keep up better with the new books than
any library in Georgia or Alabama—and
and he knows!”
Now, this is the kind of an institution
that deserves help, and with a reputation
like that going abroad we want to be able
to say that we have given this pride of
ours some other home than in our hearts,
and the work now is for a Library build
ing. Let us give them all the encourage
ment in our power. They have struggled
long and well. None but the brave de
serve the fair, and the fair they shall have,
one that will long be a golden memory to
our grateful public.
PUBLIC SPEAKING.
APPOINTMENT OF HON. C. L. MOSES AND
HON. JAMES H. BLOUNT.
The Enquirer-Sun received a telegram
from the Democratic campaign committee
at Newnan last night requesting the an
nouncement of public speaking at the
times and places named below:
Hon. C. L. Moses, Democratic nominee
for Congress from the Fourth district, will
speak at Buena Vista, Marion county,
Tuesday, October 28.
Hon. C. L. Moses and Hon. James H.
Biount, Congressman from the .sixth dis
trict, will speak an Hamilton Thursday,
October 30.
Hon. C. L. Aloses and Hon. James H.
Blount, will speak in Columbus Friday
night, October 31.
The public is respectfully invited to
hear the distinguished speakers. It is
likely that an immense audience will greet
them in Columbus.
THE NEW CITY CHARTER.
IT WILL PROBABLY BE COMPLETED MON
DAY AND PUBLISHED TUESDAY.
The attorneys engaged in preparing the
new charter for the city of Columbus will
probably complete their work Monday. If
the work is completed in time, the inter
esting document will be printed in full in
the Enquirer-Sun Tuesday morning.
The document is a lengthy one, and has
already spread over forty pages of legal
cap, written with a type writer.
At first the Alayor thought of submit
ting the new charter to a mass meeting of
the people, but afterwards decided that the
better plan would be to have it published
before adoption by the City Council and
submission to the Legislature.
The new charter will differ from the old
one in a great many important features. It
is being framed by some of the best legal
talent that could be secured, and embodies
the best features of the old charter and a
good many important new features sug
gested by the Alayor and members of the
Council.
The public will be duly informed of the
changes when the charter is published in
the Enquirer-Sun.
