i ESTABLISHED 1 SAO ) I 11. EkTILL, Editor and Proprietor, t A VISIT TO KANSAS CITY. the president ays a corner stone FOR THE Y. M. C. A. A Tribute Paid to the Organization for Its Good Work in the Nation The Visitors Driven About the City-A {Speech of Welcome and Reply at the Government Building. Kansas City, Oct. 111.—The demonstra tion in Kansas City in honor of the Presi dent of the United States is a tumultuous and noisy proceeding, but is attended with no more disorder than seems to be inevit able wherever the President appears. The imposition has called in a great number of strangers but the advent of the President Pas hardly left standing room in town. ■‘You must excuse appearances,” said a lady to Mrs. Cleveland. “We have onlv just moved in and have not got settled yet.” The expression was better understood as the visitors were escorted through the streets in carriages this morning, with many beautiful, even palatial residences, and with signs of the enormous commerce ■whi'-h centres here. Observable on every hand, there were everywhere evidences of immaturity. The streets in many places were torn up and building operations seemed almost everywhere in progress. The President’s conductors pointed out the chief features with pride. "We do not boast of the residences w e have built,” they said, “so much as of the business we have started, which is going to build our residences here after.” AN ENJOYABLE RIDE. The ride was a well-managed and thor oughly enjoyable affair. Only carriages enough to carry the visitors and the escort committee of eleven gentlemen were provid ed. They were preceded and followed by a -mall, but sufficient troop of cavalry. The Marshal of the procession, Col. Milton Moore, accompanied by about twenty depu ties, headed the line. The party set out from the hotel at 9:30 o’clock, amid the cheers of a multitude, and made its way rapidly through the western portion of the town without stopping until it reached the highest point hi the city. From this point the bluff fell away precipitously to the lower town, (iOO feet below. Immediately beneath stretched five or six square miles of railroad yards, and as the President’s carriage made its appearance on the brow of the hill, every locomotive of all the fifteen railroads can i reing here ojiened its throat and screamed. The concert was led by a rusty looking monster, whose tones, by some manipula tion of the performing artist were exactly like the howling of a family of coyotes, only multiplied to car splitting dimensions. The President's attention was called to the great area lying beyond the railroads, cov ered by mammoth packing houses and establishments for the sale of agricultural implements. A pause was made at the exposition build ing, but tne President did not alight. From this point the jiarty proceeded to the site of the projected Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation building, on the northwest corner of Northwest and Locust streets, of which the President laid the corner-stone. This cere mony was preceded by the singing of hymns, a brief address, and prayer by Bishop Hendrix. CLEVELAND’S GOOD WORDS. The President remarks on the occasion were as follows: In the busy activity of our daily life we are icl to neglect the instrumentalities which are quietly, but effectually, doing most important service in moulding our national cliarac ter. Among these, and challenging hut little notice, compared with their valuable results, are the Young Men's Christian Associations scattered throughout our country. All will admit tjje supreme importance of that honesty and fixed principle, which rests upon Christian motives and purposes, and all will acknowledge the sad and increasing temptations which beset our young men, and lure them to tbeir lies' ruction. To save these young men, oftentimes deprived of the restraints of home, from degradation and ruin, and to fit them tor usefulness and honor, these associa tions have entered the field of Christian effort, and are pushing their noble work. When it is ■ 'nsidered that the -objects of their efforts are t" be active men for good or evil in the next generation, mere worldly prudence dictates that i hese associations should he aided and encour aged. Their increase and flourishing condition reflect ihe highest honor n|*on the good men who have devoted themselves to this work and demonstrate (hat the American people are t ot, entirely lacking in appreciation of its value. T went.v years ago but one of these associations ow ned a building and that was valued at only yii.OOh. To-day more than 100 such buildings, valued al more than $5,000,000, beautify different cities of our land and beckon mir young men to lives of usefulness. I am especially pleased to be able to participate to-day in laying the corner-stone of another of these edifices, in this active and r owing city, and I trust the encouragement given the Young Men’s Christian Association located here may tie commensurate with its assured usefulness, and in keeping with the gen erosity and intelligence which characterize the people of Kansas City. PICKPOCKETS AT WORK. W hile the ceremonies wore in progress, a corps of pickpockets, which has followed the President s party throughout its tour, industriously plied their art. One of these gentry, a florid, well-built, though rather heavy man, was discovered by his victim in the act, just too late, however to preveut the robbery. Loud cries of “Catch that man" interrupted the impressive proceed ings for a second. A man was seen to rush irem the crowd, fall ofl' a stone wall, knock over one or two women, and rush for free dom with three or four jiolicemen after him. When the brief proceedings were ended, the President and his party went to th*ir hotel, where nn hour was given to lunch, Umut 1:110 o’clock E. 11. Allen, President “• the Boavd of Trade and Chairman of Reception Committee. ex-Cougressman Van Horn, Congressman Warner, \V. H. Miller, •Secretary of the Board of Trade, and a committee of about a dozen ladies and gen i lemon called upon the President and con ducipd him and Mrs. Cleveland to their car riage. They were then escorted through ihe more tflickiv built business streets of '•|# city and brought up at the rear the government building, whore they arrived about 3 o’clock. Alighting they "'ere escorted through the post office and "■it, upon the front portico of the building, " non. a stand and awning had been erected. 1' ally 5,000 people were congregated about •his point, roofs, windows, telegraph poles hd radiating streets, as far as they were visited. I sung packed with humanity. WELCOMED BV THF MAYOR. " hen the band had finished the strains of “Hail to the Chief,” Air. Allen advanced to •be rail and introduced to the President Mayor H. ('. Kittnpf, who made a formal speech '•! welcome to the President. It was a model of beauty, as follows: •k. Puehiw.nt: On lielialf of the citizens of [his city it. js my pleasant duty to hid you a hearty w elcome to the metropolis of the Mi*- ►' uri Valley. We arc happy to receive ami en tertain our President, although elected by one nominal party, hut when elected he Is President '*• "ii* whole people. This assemblage of people has come here not (inly to show its respect for President of a nation of over fifty uulllonsof people, hut. for the man also. We ill do all we 1 an to render your visit pleasant, and hope that sc will suc-eeil in our landAltlo efforts. 1 again •’id yon hearty welcome to the City of Kansas, t he President spoke e- follows in reply : t had long settled upon a visit to St. Louis, • hen I found that It. would not do *1 all to go there without also seeing this wonderful city on Missouri's western border. One of your enter prising eitizensanxious that I should not reach here in ignorance of your achievements, has sent me a newspaper exhibiting the progress of the city during the first six months of the pres ent year. Three months have passed since this record was made up. and he wrote'me that he thought if 1 added 50 per cent, to the figures which it contained, I would strike a proper estimate of your con dition to-day. While this show - the deepest faith and confidence in what you can do, I am inclined to think, front something 1 haverecent ly seen published, that the rule thus laid down is none too liberal. The truth of the statements made in this newspaper report isclinched by the compiler when he says, as a beginning, "the tact is that it is impossible to lie about Kansas City," and when the splendid delegal ion of your business men called on nte and, itt the kindest and most cordial way, invited me to lie your guest one of them was introduced as a dealer in real estate, who, it was declared, if I came here would sell me a city lot before I left, and this reminds me of a friend who made a trip to the Pacific coast, and as he came back, found his way to Kan-as City and bought a lot.. He went imme diately home, and when he arrived there he found that his lot had been sold for enough in advance of its c st to pay the entire expenses of his trip across the continent. Of course there is no limit to what a community can do living in such a place as this, and actuated by the spirit which these incidents manifest. Thus we find the value of real estate transfered for the first six months of the year 1880, to be something over siff,ooo,ooo, while for the first six months of the present year the amount is more than $62,500,000. All transfers of real estate are not indicative of actual substantial city prosjierity. The mere tiassing of land front owner to owner at en hanced prices may be symptoms of speculation, which really creates no new value, and adds nothing to the municipal wealth or progress. But when buildings are put up by the purchas ers of this land, and tenants are round to occupy them for trade or for residence, it is a pretty sure sign that the business of the city is increasing as well as its population. Kansas City stands the test of this rule, for dur ing the six months ending June JO. 1881, the in crease in the number of building permits issued and the value of the buildings they covered kept paoe with the value of the land transferred. I must not be expected to go further into details of things which show your progress, it is suf ficient to state that it is apparent in the activity of every branch of your diverse business, as well ns In public improvements, completed and under way, and which are made necessary by your phenomenal growth In the statements I have seen of your city, mention is made of Ktern investments here and of their import ance to yen. The richness of the country about, you and its enhanced productiveness is also stated as an important factor of your greatness and your railroad facilities, placing you in communication with your fel low countrymen in every direction, you must admit are indispensable to your development. Tam reminded by these suggestions hmv dependent, after all, com munities, no leas than individuals, are on not only the gifts of providence, but upon each other. 1 never could appreciate any just cause for jealousy on the part of the West toward the East. It capita! lias accumulated iutbe East the newer region of the West perhaps needs it for its building up. If you have prod ucts to sell, it surely is no cause of offense if you find a market for them in the East. These conditions should make friends, not jealous and suspicious enemies. Roth sections are working, though perhaps in different lines, to make our common country great and wealthy. Remember, too, that you are fast becoming lost to that vast country beyond you upon which so much of vour future prosperity must depend. When I leave you I shsll go on my way of travel to visit our fellow citizens in the South. I shall bear to the older cities the im pression made by my observations of the new, fresh and astounding growth of those of the West, i shall see there a seelion of country whc\e prosperity is necessary to your pros perity. I shall not find the people heedless of our lotion’s growth and welfare, hut 1 shall find tuere as well as here, a determined, cheer ful American pride of country, stimulation *to activity and enterprise and leading not less there than here to natural greatness and glory. The West and South, and every section are hand-in-hand in this sublime work and no dis cord or partisan hate and rancor should lie allowed to interrupt the progress of t heir steady tread. RECEIVING THE PEOPLE. At the conclusion of the President’s re marks the people were given an opportunity to greet him aurl his wife. They passed rapidly through the gang-way four abreast, and there was little or no handshaking done. Even at this rate the reception con tinued till 5 o'clock, and there were still a number in line who were left disappointed. The jiarty returned to the (.'nates House at the conclusion of the public reception for dinner. 25,000 PASS IN TWO MOORS. One of the jiarty who has seen all the re ceptions since the President left Washing ton, says that the reception at the Ouston House this afternoon was the most success ful of them all in point of numbers. Over 25,000 people paid their respects in less than two hours. This evening at 0 o’clock Presi dent and Nlrs. Cleveland were entertained at dinner by Hon. 11. E. Allen, repre senting the reception committee. Among the other guests wore Postmaster General and Mrs. Vilas, Dr. Bryant and Col. Lament, of the President’s jiarty; Dr. Mor risiiii Muuford and wife, Gen. A. McCook and Dr. .1. D. Linpineott, of the University of Kansas. Several other jirominent gentle men and their wives were invited, but the impossibility of getting trausjiortatiou in the present crowded condition of the city kept them away. The festivities dosed to night with the pageant of the priests of Pallas and their subsequent ball. Great preparation' had been made for t hose features, and popular expectations were fully realized in the splendor of the parade. The limgnitlcent character of the enter tainment, together with the long line of march, caused a slight delay in the start of the procession, but the myriads of sight seers waited patiently all along the route, and rewarded the participants by hearty cheers as each display came in sight. There were twenty floats in line, and as they passed under bril liant arches of gas jets they made a gorge ous scene. AT THE BALL. The march was delayed somewhat by minor accidents, but it w:is all over at fi o’clock, and by midnight, the large ball built for the Priests of Pallas ball was filled with a gay assemblage. Seven thousand invitations had been issuer!, and al though not near all were accepted, the hall was crowded with dancers and tho festivities continued until a late hour The President concluded that it would he best for himself and his fellow-excursionists to avoid the danger which might attend a trip through the densely crowded street, to the junction where the reviewing stand had been erected fer him, and for that reason, as ivell as an economy of time, he remained at tin- hotel and with Mrs. Cleveland wit nessed the parade from the balcony. Shortly before 10 o'clock the Presidential jiarty quietly proceeded to car riages and wore rapidly driven to the sta tion at Twentieth street and Broadway, in order to avoid the crush at t he Union Dejvit. The train thud boon (lulled out from the depot to the station, and bv 11 o'clock the party were on their way to Memphis, via the Kansas City, Fort Scotland Gulf and Kansas City, (Springfield and Memphis rail roads. A "stop will probably tie made at Springfield, Mo., when the train reaches t here, about 5 o’clock in the tnofning. Tho President, expressed the pleasure his visit to Kansas City had given him, and his regret that his engagements prevented a longer slav. The jiarty left in good health and spirits, hut quite latigued with the day’s excitement mid sight-seeing. Mrs. Cleve land is held in warm remembrance by the patients at the City Hospital, who were the beneficiaries of h thoughtful act, of kindness on her jjart during iter sojourn in Kansas (,’ltv. The SAVANNAH, HA., FRIDAY. OCTOBER 11. 1887. flowers which tilled the President's ear on its arrival in this city, and all those which she received in this city, and these together made a large wagon load, were by Mrs. Cleveland’s direction sent to the hospital for the benefit of the inmates, who returned their grateful thanks to the lady who re membered them. * BURNED IN EKPIGY. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 13.— The ex citement occasioned by the appearance in the Minneapolis Tribune, on the morning after President Cleveland’s visit, of an ed itorial containing severe strictures on the administration, and the manner of conduct ing the present “tour for votes,’’ culmi nated to-night. when A. J. Blethen, pro prietor of the Tribune, was burned in efllgy by a crowd of roughs. The exceptions taken to the editorial were based principally on the language used with reference to Mrs. Cleveland, and which was as follows: “And it is extremely hard to respect either member of this family now touring for votes. Mrs. Cleveland is a handsome, ma ture woman, apparently several years older than she is said to be. At least, she was old enough to have exercised her own free choice in marrying Grover Cleveland. It is inconceivable that, she should have married him except to obtain the position of mistress of tho White House. Such a marriage would never have been thought of but for astonishing political accidents, which, in the course of two or three years, brought Mr. Cleveland out of the obscurity, which is his proper element, to the highest position in the nation. It is hard to have respect for a woman who would sell herself to so gross and repulsive a man as Grover Cleveland, and one with a private record so malodorous for the bauble of brief social ascendency. She is now an object of curiosity and remark for gaping crowds, and her photographs are sold almost, if not quite, as freely as Mrs. Langtry’s. Such is her reward. Jf she can secure re-election for Grover, she will have four years more of the gratification which the highest social prominence gives, and of the delight of further newspaper notoriety. After that she will simply have to put up with being the wife of as insignificant and obscure a man as an ex-President could possibly lie. tine cannot help a pang of sympathy for her, but she has chosen her lot deliberately.'’ The mob was led by Mayor A. A. Ames. After burning the efllgy the crowd proceed ed to the Tribune, building and made a further demonstration, but was dually dis posed by police. Mr. Blethen regards the affair as a joko on Mayor Ames and the crowd, as important business kept him away from the Tribune office on Tuesday night, and he knew nothing what' .or of the article till it appeared Wednesday morning. QUESTIONS OF FINANCE. A Number of Resolutions Introduced by the Bankers. Pittsburg, Oct. 13.—Injt he Bankers' Con vention to-day the following resolutions were offered and referred to the Executive Council. By Judge Ewing, of Pennsylvania: Ke wired. Thai we favor ranidextinguishment of the public, debt. ami t lien-fore recommend the continued purchase by the Secretory of tho Treasury -of outstanding government' bunds. We consider a reduction of revenues wholly un necessary, inexpedient and unwise. Let, the surplus be promptly and constantly applied to the liquidation of the debt and the action of the Treasury of buying bonds lie further regu lated, systematized and controlled by additional legislation. By W. P. St. John, of New York: Kettoloed, That the existence of national banks is not detiendent upon a national debt. A resolution offered by Mr. Taylor, of Boston, in support of t he propositions made by Mr. Knox, recommending the passage of 4 per cents into 2> . per cents, caused a spirited discussion—about the only one dur ing the season. It was finally tallied. The report of the Committee on Silver, which had been offered earlier in the session and withdrawn, was again presented. The committee said: “The Bankers’ Association has always taken thegroimd that both silver and gold are required as the money of the world, but that an international agreement only, on the part of a majority of tho chief commercial nations of the world, can prac tically settle the question of the relative value of gold and silver when coined. Though several infernal tonal confer ences have heretofore been held, no conclusion has as vet Iteen reached ” The rejiort refers to the action taken by foreign [lowers, and concludes with a recommendation that the coinage of silver dollars by tho United .States, uuder the act of Congress of Febuaryj |K7H t be suspended until tho points at issue in the silver question be settled by international agreement. The report as presented was adopted, and the convention adjourned finally. LABOR INTERESTS. Cigar Makers Not to Work Longer Than Eight Hours. Minneapolis, Oct. 13.--In the Knights of Labor convention to-da v the eight hour question in the cigar trade was brought up. The sentiment of the convention was that, eight hours is the rule of the International Cigar Makers Union, and that it would not be right for the members of the Knights of Labor employed in the trade to work longer hours, ana give a back set to good work hi this direction already accomplished, it was decided not to issue a label to those who work longer hours. After the afternoon session the Press Com mittee reported that there was nothing to divulge to the public. The delegate' are very quiet about the afternoon proceedings, mid nothing authoritative has been stated. It is stated that the convention yesterday afternoon voted to continue the Isiycott on the New York •Sun. Tlie matter came up in the sha|ie of n resolution from District A'emblv No. 34, of New Y ork cit) , the mendiershiri of which is composed of jirinters and other employes of newsjiaper offices, asking that the boycott instituted some time ago at a conference of thirteen or fourteen dist rict assemblies against the Sun l>e declared null and void. After a lively debate the resolu tion was tabled. Minister Manning's Funeral. New York.

The loss to the bank in various ways aggregates $150,000 to-day, and may be larger tomor row . BOULANGER IN A CORNER GEN. FERRON ASKS IF HE MADE CERTAIN UTTERANCES. A Reply That He Did Use the Language Attributed to Him An Alleged As sertion by Gen. Boulanger That the Caffarel Inquiry Was Part of a Plot Against Himself. Paris, Oct. 13. —Tlie council of generals which was appointed for the purpose of trying Gen. Caffarel on the charges preferred against him of selling civil decorations, has pronounced the accused guilty of habitual dishonorable conduct. It was decided by the council to place Gen. Caffarel on the retired list of the army, and he will be deprived of his decoration of the legion of Honor. His pension granted for thirty-nine years’ service in the army, will bo reduced from B,ooof. to 4,000f. The decree for the execution of the de cision will be submitted by Gen. Ferron, Minister of War, to President Urevy for his signature. KOUALNGER CALLED TO TIME Gen. Ferron telegraphed to Geu. Boulan ger, at Montlucon, ordering hint to return Forthwith to Clermont Ferrand, his head quarters, and asking if the words attributed to him by the newspapers in connection with the Caffarel affair, were correctly re ported. The newspapers alleged that Gen. Boulanger informed a reporter that he never doubted but that the prosecution of Gen. Caffarel was aimed at himself. He stated that he desired a most minute in quiry into his conduct, and said that, if lie had been Minister of War and Gen. Caffarel had avowed his guilt to him he would have offered hint a revolver with which to blow out his brains. Gen. Boulanger, in reply to Perron's telegram, said, “I have returned to Clermont Fer rand. lam unable to procure the news papers mentioned. Send them to me.” Gen. Ferron again sent a telegram to Gen. Boulanger demanding a categorical reply to the charges against him. lai Ftcjntbliqur Franco iw urges the gov ernment to apply rigorous military regula tions to Gen. Boulanger if it is true that he accused Gen. Ferron of plotting against him. l.a Felil Journal raises the question whether Gen. Boulanger ouglit not to be prosecuted. It is rumored that the cabinet to day discussed the question of whether Gen. Boulanger shall not be removed from bis command for statements mado by him to reporters attacking the government. BOULANGER ADMITS IT. Gen. Boulanger has telegraphed to Gen. Ferron that he did use language attributed to him in the newspapers. At the request of M. Wilson, a magistrate to-day ques tioned Mme. Katizzi, Mine. Limouzin and Baron Kreitinaier. and all admitted that the accusations against M. Wilson were false, and were made in the hope that the affair would be bushed up. M. Wilson is Pres ident Grevy's son-in-law. BOULANGER ARRESTED. London, Oct. 14, 3 a. m.— The Standard's correspondent at Paris announces the arrest of Gen. Boulanger. GLADSTONE’S LEAFLET. Bright Takes a Rap at It—Chamber lain Still in Ulster. London, Get. 13.—John Bright has writ ten a letter denouncing the leaflet by Mr. Gladstone, headed “Remember Mitchells town” and signed “\V. E. Gladstone.” Mr, Bright says the leaflet shows the depth of degradation to which the Liberal party has been rapidly forced by the alliance with the jilotters and leaders of the rebellion in Ire land. Mr. Gladstone's followers are ready to adopt, any cry or charge he makes to ex cite the passions of ignorant men against the government he wants to supjllant, and which he is passionately laboring to succeed. chamberlain’s stumping tour. Enthusiastic crowds greeted Mr. Cham berlain at C’olarain and Rallaymea. In a speech at Ballaymea, Mr. Chamberlain .-.aid his progress had confirmed his impression that the jienple were loyal and contented, and that they would resist to the utmost any attempt to sever the connection be tween Ireland and Great Britain. Great resjionslbility. the speaker declared, rested eu the men of Ulster. Not only their own interests, but that of the loyal minority in the rest of Ireland were at stake. The issue was not whether the majority were entitled to change th eonstitul ion, but whether the loyal minority were to tun e a voice in the matter. If the jieople of Ulster were rrsolv-d not to submit their property and their Ities m the national league, and were convinced that, the v pal ate treatment of Ulster must be made (he cardinal condition of any settlement reliev ing Ireland from her prc'Pjit connection with Great Britain, it would be difficult to dispute such a concensus of opinion. It would be imjiossible for those who claimed greater lilierty for themselves to logically demand that an odious servitude be on jioseii ujion others. If Ulster were resolute there whs no power in the kingdom to com jiel her submission to the rule of the league. CHAMBERLAIN AT BELFAST. Belfast, Oct. 13. —Mr. (hamhoHain ad dressed an audience of 5,1 * K) peranus here this evening.

Ho was not more skeptical than other men but he regarded with besitat ion such a fancy jiicture. The fact was that Ireland was poor. A majority of her imputation de pended on agriculture for a living. In close juxtaposition to Ireland was the br.-i eu tomer in the world.
