After the Organization Routine an Adjournment is Taken to Nov. 18— Blame Makes a Speech of Welcome —lhe Delegates Presented to Presi dent and Mrs. Harrison—Luncheon Served Amid Enticing Surroundings. \\ ashingion, Oct. 2. —Siiortly before fv on the delegates to the international Am ricau c rngress left their headquarters aid rep-ired in a body to the department of state. All the delegates to the congress were present, with the exception of J udge Coclidge of B ston, who wiil join the party later on. After a short stay in the waiting room the delegates were escorted by Assistant Secretary Adee to the diplomatic reception mom. Here they were met by Se -rotary Blaine, who, without the ceremony (fa i rmal introduction, welcomed person ally each a:id ali of the delegates. Alter a few minutes thus employed, the del gates were seated, and Seci etary Blaine, staii mg at o e end of the long central taoie, delivered felicitous address of wel come. BLAINE’S SPEECH. Mr. Blaine said: (O- NTLEMKN OP THE INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS: Spc'amug for the government' of the United btaie>, 1 bid you welca e to thin capital. Pj. a nng for the jieople of the United States, I bid you welcome to every sec. ion and to every state of tiie union. You come in response to an iuvita:ion extended by the President on special authorization oi congress. Your presence here is no ord. nary event, it signifies in ch to t.: people of all America to-day. It may sig li.fy far more in days to come. No conference of i aliens has ever assembled to consider t.i * welfare oi territorial pos esaions so vast and to contemplate possibilities of a future t>o great and so inspiring. Those now sitting within l ese walls are empowered to speak for nations w; : e borders are on both great oceans, whose northern limits are tououed by the Arctic waters for a thousand miles beyond the straits of Bet.ring, whose south rn extension furnishes human babi ai.ons iartner below the equator than is eist where icssiui© on the globe. The aggr gate lerrit rial extent of the nations here nted alls ut little short o. square miles—more than three times the area o all Europe, and but little less than one-fourth pa tof the globe: while in respect to the power of producing articles which are essential to human life and those which minister to life’s luxu es, they constitute an even larger pro portion of the entire world. i hese great possessions to-day hare an aggre gate population approaching lk). 000,000, but if i>eopled as and lively as the average of Europe the total number would exceed 1,000,000,000. WHAT THE CONFERENCE CAN DO. While consi ©rations of this character must inspire Americans, both south and north, witn liveliest anticipations of future grandeur and power, they must also impress them with a s use of gravest responsibility touching the character and developm nt of their re spective nationalities. The delegates whom 1 am addressing can do much to establish permanent r lat-ous of confidence, respect and frifn iship b tween the nations which they rep resent. . hey can sh wto the world an honor able and peaceful conference of sevente n inde pendent Ameri an powers, in which all shall meet together on terms of absolute equality; a conference in wiiich there can be no attempt to coerce a si gle delegate against his own conception of the Interests of hii nation; a conference wnicb will permit no secret understanding on any subject, but wdi frankly publish to the world all its con clusions; a conference which will tolerate no spirit of conquest, but will aim to cultivate an American sympathy as bread as both con -Ihr aits; a conference wuieh wiil form no selfish a limit* ' against the older nations from which we are proud to claim inheritance; a conference, in fine, which will seek nothing, propose nuthn g, endure nothing that is not in the general sense of all the delegates timely and wise and peaceful. INTERESTS IN COMMON. And yet we cannot be expected to forget that our common fate has made us inhabitants of two continents which, at the close of fouremt i ri'-s, are sn 1 regarded oeyoud the seas as anew world. Like situations beget like sympathies and impose like duties. We meet in the firm belief that the nations of America ought to bi andean be more helpful, each to the other, than they now are, and that each will find advantage aud nrotit from an enlarged intercourse with the others. We be lieve that we snould be drawn together more closely by the highways of the sea. aud that at no distant day the railway systems of the north and South wiil meet upon the isthmus and con nect and routes the political and commercial capitals of all America. Wo believe that hearty co-operation, based on hearty confidence, will save all the American states from the burdens and evils which have long a :d cruelly alihcted the older nations of the world. NO ARTIFICIAL BALANCE OF POWER. We believe that the spirit of justice, of com mon an 1 equal interest, between the American states will leave no room for an artificial bal ance of power like unto that which has led to viais abro.d ami drenched Europe in blood. " e believe that friendship, avowed with cand r, airi maintained with goo 1 faith, will remove from tiie Amer.can states the necessity ot guarding imu darv line- between them selves with fortiftcati >ns and military force. . . l ' e ' ,eve that standing armies, beyond those " u . are needful for public order and the W 'ty ot in;ernal administration, should be uu- Kk v!i onbot!i American conti .ents. We be n V.. ihat friendship and not force, the spirit of J M ' law and not the violence of the mob should ne the recognized rule of admin strati m be- American nations, and in American nations. To these subjects aud those which cognate thereto, tue attention of this c -n --•'••e.ice is earnestly and cordially invited by the government of the United states. COMMON CONFIDENCE. It will be a great -ain when we shall acquire rut common confidence on which all interna tional friendship must rest. It will be a greater .■tin when we shat be able to draw the people o. all me American nations into closer acquaint a..ce with each other—an oml to ne facilitated hie at ion fre<luent au<l more rapid intereommu „„J; " U 1 b 8 tb greatest gain when the personal ® , B °mtnercial relations of the American south t'L .

SAfter the adjournment tne delegates were escorted to the white hou e bv Secretary Blaine, pau-ing for a few moments at tho ea-tern entrance of the state department to have their pictures taken in a group. President Harrison gave a special reception to tue delegates at 1:30 o’clock, one of the features of which was an informal lunch served in the state dining room at 2 o’clock. The blue and red parlors and the east room had been especially prepared for the occasion, and ere liberally decorat.-d with tropical plants and rare exotics. The Marine band was st itioued iu tae main ves ibule and played a most continuously duri g the receotion and lunch. Tne pro gramme included the national and patriotic aim of each of toe countries represente i, and numbered twe.vo selections in all. The reception too: nines in the blue parlor. The President and Mrs. Harrison aud ali tho members of the cabinet proceeded to that room shortly before the hour set for tho reception and awaited the arrival of the delegates. They arrived promptly on time und r escort of Secretary Blaine and Mr. Itomero, tle Mexican minister. Upon being ushered into the blue parlor, they were individually presented by Secretary Blame to the Presi dent, and then to Mrs. Harrison, and subset! queutly to the members of the cabinet. THE LUNCHEON. After a short time spent in social con verse, Mrs. Harris n retired an 1 the enti e party, upon invitation of tho Preside t, repaired to the stut > dining room aud p ir tuok of luncheon, which was served while the de.egates stood about tne nom. Tho center-piece of the table was a largo floral representation of the western he nispher?, and it was flanked with othor flornl devices befitting tho occasion. The menu included soup, fish, oysters, salads, etc., with sherry, claret aud champagne. Soutu American dishes and South American cigarettes were served, ad everything was done to sli nv honor to the different countries repres -nted. Afo of the delegates were in full court conii ne, bu a majority wo e plain civilian drois. The reception lasted about tw > h mrs, a -d was u,together informal in character. BLAINE GIVES A BANQUET. The first series of elegant banquets which are to be given in many of the principal cities of the easce n and central portio is of the United Stat -s in honor of tne nation’s guests from Central and South America was given at the Normandie hotel this evening by Secretary of State Blaine. Covers were laid for fifty-four guests. The dinner lasted fiom 7:30 to aftor 10 o’clock. There was no speech-making save a few remarks from Secretary Blaine at the conclu iou of the banquet, in a few happilyfchosen worus he dismissed the company aud proposed a toast, which was drunk standing. He sai i: “Before we part for the excursion, which to a large number of this company wiil begin to-morrow morning, and hich i hope will terminate hanpily, I will ofler a single toast: Perpetual friendship aud prosperity of all the American states.” The delegates to the international con gress have received invitations to no less than forty-two banquets in various cities which are included in the itinerary ot the trip, and ab ut twenty of these invitations havo b3en accepted. OPPOSED TO PROTECTION. Paris, Oct. 2. —Tfie Liberte asserts that the representatives of the Argentine Repub lic, Chili, Bolivia, Colombia and Hoad iras atto ided a monster meeting at Barcelona on Sunday last, and subscribed to resolu t on3 iu favor of an Hispano- American union opposed to the American protectionists. DRAWBACK ON BAGGING. The Attitude of the Collector of Cus toms at New York. Washington, Oct. 2. — A protest has been made to tho treasury department against the action of the collector of cus toms at New York in refusi g*to accept preliminary entries for exportation with the benefit of drawback of certai i ju o bagging shipped as covering of cotton bales. The collector reported that the entries were rejected for the reason that they did not conform to the rule laid and iwn in section 6950, paragraph 1, which be says req tiros that merchandise ’covered by preliminary entries should be fully described thereiu by marks and numbers. A BIG LOOPHOLE. He said that in the case of cotton bales covered with bagging on which drawback is claimed w. en the bales are not described in the preliminary marks, such entry would be a drag-net for ad. awb ick on ali cover ings for cotton exported by vessels of the line named on entry, and would lay the foundation for conflicting clai ns aud give color of the claim to a drawback. WIND 'M S RULING. In a letter to tue collector on this subject. Secretary VVindom says: “By reference t > section 957 Lit appears that t e omission of ship iug numbers from the preliminary entry of cotton baling may be alio wed when it is found to be impracticable for an ex porter to give sue i numbers, and whe i they may be supplied in the inspector’s return. The specification of the im porters’ firm marks in each pre liminary entry is, however, deemed indispensable. The stateme t made in tne protest, that it is imoossible to comply ■Mth tIQ requirements of too specifioati n of each bale of c itton .by the shippers’ marks and the numbers in preliminary entries, does not appear to be well founded, at least, as to marks. It being understood that the entries rejected by you do not con tain specification of either marks or num bers, your action in rejecting tue same is hereby approved.” FIRED INTO A PRAYER MEETING. One Man Killed and Hia Niece and An other Man Wounded. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 2. — The Register's special from Moss Point, Miss., says: “Dur ing prayer meeting in the Presbyterian church to-night a shot was fired from the outside turough the open front door, in stantly killing Daniel K. Mcfnnis, mortally wounding his little daughter, and seriously wounding Henry Blumer. Great excite ment prevails. There is no clew to the assassin.’’ Blackbeard Island Transferred.

POLITICS ON THE DOOM. THE REPUBLICANS WiN IN THE NEW STATES. Even Montana’s Vote Uncomfortably Close and the Result Somewhat in Doubt—Location of the Capitals the Subject the Voters Wero Most In terested in. Fargo, N. D., Oct. 2.—lt was 1 o’clock this morning before the votes in the various wards in Fargo were counted. Miller, rep., received Tit for governor, to 63J cast for H iacii, dam. The vote on con r isstne i was about the sane. McC mneli, din., is ap; n entl elected dis rict judge ove - New man, rep. Th > republicans have no and übt eiectel their entire legi lacive tickets ii the various legislative districts of this county, with tne exception of Bran ie tburg, ca di data for the Sa late from the Elo .noth dis trict. Twenty-eight precincts, including three wards iu Fargo, cast 9SB votes against a tid 888 for the prohibition article. The. other three w ards are strongly opposed to prohibition, and added perhaps 3UJ votes agai ist it. The vote on the constitution is almost unanimous throughout the state. The vote is not so heavy as was expected, ami is probably about 37,000. Manv peoplo have moved away fro n jfctamsey, E ldis and Nelson counties owing to tne failure of the crops. THE LEGISLATURE. The legislature is strongly republican. The democrats elect senators in the First, Second, I bird, Twelfth, Sixteenth, Eigh teenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty iitth, Twoii y-seventh and Twenty-eighth dis nets. The republicans gat twenty sena tors, with the fwenty-t ird district in doubt. The republicans also get thirty-six members of the assembly. Tue dem >crats get eiguteen, an 1 there are five districts ii doubt. Hausbrough, rep ,is elected to con gress by about 12,000 majority. Tile con test ver the judgeship is extremely close. Report s from Grand Forks say that Thom is, Pembina and othor northern points in licate that Templet >n, hem., I.as beaten O’Keefe, rep., in tue First district. D. E. Morgan, rep., is elected in the Second. In the Third >lc(Jon tell, dem., seems to have defeated Newman, rep. Lander, rep., is elected iu the Fourth ad W inchester, rep., in the Fifth. The Sixth, the Jamestown district, has pr bibly electei Rise, deal., tuough his majority may not be 100. PROHIBITION’S POOR SHOW. The prohibition! ts claim to have carried the territory. Fargo, Bis narck ad Grand Fork vot 'd strongly lor liquor, and unpre judiced calculators believe prohibition is beaten by at least 6,000. The constitution nas been indorsed with a rousing majority. At too republican heaaquartors the entire state ticket is claimed by from 10,000 to 12,000, whiioatthe democratic heaaquartors Chairman Ryan asset's toat from he re ports now at hand, official and otherwise, the republicans will carry the state by not to exceed 5,000. Maratta (for congress) is cl limed ny tho democrats to have been elected, but definite figures have n t yet been recoivod. Tne repu oilcans claim the election of Hansbrough to congress. MILLER RAN BEHIND. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 2.—A staff correspondent of the Journal, who is look ing ufter the election returns of North Dakota, sends the folio wing from Fargo: “Returns up to 11 o’clock tnis morning from all the counties received at the head quarieri of the republican state central committee give Miller, rep., a majority over Roach tor govern >r of 5,172. Miller runs beta ,and his ticket about 2,000. The av erage republican majority is about 7,000,and Hansbrouga’s tnaj uoty for congress will reach B,OJO. E. I. Go dkin l, a wholesale liquor dealer at Bis narck, devoted special attention to the returns on the prohibition question, and has heard from every county, tho returns showing a total majority of 2,100 against prohibition in the state. The republicans have elected ten senators and eig teen representa ives, and the demo crats two senators and six representatives, the others not being yet entirely heard from.” SOUTH DAK jTA’S BATTLE. No Doubt but the Republicans Have Carried the State. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct.£3.—fThe Trib une's estimate of th3 result |in South Dakota is as follows: Up to 2 o’clock a. m., not enough details of the vote have been received to state the result of South Dakota’s election iu actual figures, but dis patches from the principal town®, includi g those that were Candida es for the choice as the temporary capital, sbo w that the re publicans made a clean sweep of the state. The majority, as shown by the vote for Mellette for governor anil Pickier and Gif ford for congress, will be from 10,000 to 12,000. The republicans will have a large majority in the legislature, thus insuring the election of t >o republican United States senators. The constitution is carried almost unanimously, aud the minority representation is so fa in. the minority as to be almost lost sight of. There is hardly a doubt that probibiti in has been carried, as the clause got a good majority in many of the leading towns, and everywhere its success is conceded. The capital ques tion is mixed. Watertown claims to nave e ough to win, and the other candidates make equally hopoful claims. But as it ap pears, Niberre is in the lead, with Huron a close second, and Sioux Falls third. A REPUBLICAN CLAIM. Minneapolis, Minn. *Oot. 2.—The Even ing Journal has a sialf representative at Aberdeen, H. D., to collect a id summarize the returns of yesterday’s election iu that state, and at 10:3 o’clock this morning he telegraphed as foil >ws: “Chairman C. F. McCoy of the republic iu central committee esiimatos this morning that the republican state ticket is elected by about 20,000 maj irit ; that prohibition carries by from 10,000 to 15,000 majority; that Pierre has 25,000 v ites for the temporary capital, with Huron a good second, and Sioux Fqlls third, with Watertown and Mitcuell fighting fir fourth place. Pierre will undoubtedly be the temporary capital. The large vote cast f r Pierre sur rised everybodr. Eon Minnehaha county, of winch Sioux Falls is thecou ity s-at, polled a large Pierre vote. This c >unty (Brown) will snow a prohibition maj >rity of about 1,000, with a republican majority of 1,500. The straight republican ticket is elected in Davids n county, and prohibition carries by 100 majority. Falk countv went heavily for Pierre. McCook county, which is usually democratic, elected a full repub lican ticket.” A SCRAMBLE FOR THE CAPITAL. Pierre, . D., Oct. 2.— South Dakota’s first state c-lecjion descended to a degrading s ramble for the capital locadon. Tiere bas been no fight on anything else. Mel lette is elected governor by over 20,000 majority, and (1 iff ird goes to congress. The republican maj irity in the legis -1 ,ture will lie at least sixty, in suring the election of two republica i United States senators. The vote was enormous, probably 30,000, and the trade and sale of bad ts was based on the cauital ligut. For ihe capital, Pierre, Hum i. Watertown, Chamberlain, Sioux Fails aad Mitchell wero eiterei. Reports recoivod up tr this mornin't indimt • 1 a v..t- t>- Pierre of 26.000. Hu>on 21,009, Sioux Fails 11,009. Watertown lO.'UO, Mitchell 7,000, ami Chamberlain 5,000. Ail tue a i o election talk of fraud prove i but wind. Tiie election was very quiet, an 1 as far as re ported no frauds were attempt and and no tights permitted. Huron has not yet given un tho fight, but this m ruing still claims to have secured the capital, as does ario Si mi Falls. Owi gto the great interest in the capitil c mtst bu little at tention was given to tin minority repre sentation, and it was doubtless defeated. The fate of prohibition ha gs m the bal ance. On a s juare fight it would pro ab v have been carried, but votes on thisque tron were rec dessly trnd l l outbsciHtal location, and the vote, h i over it is, will not fairly represent tho sentiments of the people of S .uth Dakota. FIGHT OF THE DAKOTAS. The Latest Review of the Battle From the rioat of War. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 2, ‘J p. m.—lt was evident last night that both North aud South Dakota had given a decisive majority for the republican tickets. The returns received to-day simply make more certain what then appeared to be the case an 1 give a better idea os to the size of the majorities. The voto in North Dak >ta was much lighter than a itieip itrd F r g ivernor, J .bn Miller, tho reuuhlica i candidate, received 5.09.) more votes than W. N. Roaehe, tho dem icratic nominee. All the returns yet r ceived indicate that tho vote for congressman drew out at least 2.000 moro vo es, making the majority for H. C. Hinsbrough for co igress 7,0u0 or moro. There has not been any doubt to day us to the o implexion of the’legislature, the only p int to be settled being the pro portion of tne parties. Returns sudici ut to indicate the result have bee t received from 26 of the 31 legislative districts in tiie s ate. There are 20 republican, 5 democratic, a id 1 independent republican souat >rs, and 43 ropubli a i and 10 democratic representa lives. Astro ig fi;ht was male fo tie district judgeships, of which there were six to be disposed of at this election. Tne democrats used the argument of n non partisan judiciary, and the result of that, c upled with some goo 1 n uninition-, is t e election of half the distric judges. The new judges are: First district, C. F. Tem pleton, dem.; Second district, D. F. Mor gan, rep.; Third district, \V. B. McConell, dem.; Fourth district, W. 8. Lauder, rep.; Fifth district. Rule ick it isc, dsm.; Sixth district, W. H. Winson, rep. one-sided in south Dakota. The elec don of officers and congressmen in South Dakota cut rather a s ail figure, bei g acknowledged to ba one-sided, and the contest for the location of the cupi al overshadowed all elm. It is claimed that even votes on prohibition wero tr Ted for votes on the capital location, and that the most thorough campaign! g was ai chaff before the wind when the capital question was mentioned. Lato this aft r noon, the first votj of any size came from the B 1 ick Hills region, which was thought to hold the balance of power, and it was so overwhelmingly in favor of Piorre, that it seems but right that the re ndouts of that thriving little city should continue the jolli fication whicu was started with a will early this morning. MONTANA IN DOUBT. Tbe Indications, However, Point to a Democratic .success. Helena, Mont., Oct. 2.—lt is still im possible to determine definitely the result of yesterday’s election in Montana. Both committees are claiming the state, hut the general indications would seem to favor the democratic claims. G iv. Hauser and other prominent democrats say they are sure of tho success of their candi dates for governor and congress, and that they will also have a majority in tue legisla ture. Tiie chairman of the republican com mittee says that the republicans will contr >1 both branches ot the legislature, and that Carter is elected to congress. REPUBLICANS CLAIM THE STATE. Chicago, 111., Oct. 2.—A. J. Fi.k, ed itor of the Helena Evening World (rep.), telegraphed at noon: “Democraticestimate! of the maj irities are being cu down a the count pr-coeds. It is now reasonably cer tain that tho entire republican state ticket is elected. The republican state com nit ee claims the legislature by 45 out of 75. The constitution was adopted by a large ma jority.” A VERY SMALL MARGIN. Helena, Mont., Oct. 2, 7 p. m.—Tho re turns are ciraiug in very slowly, ana the figures are so close that the majorities will not ne much either way. The dom icrats claim the state by 300 to 500, and tho repub licans by 690 to 1,000. Asa rulo tho de no cra ic legislative ticket is running ahead, and a majority is claimed by b th parties. The republicans lost in the republican couu tie , but.make gains in democratic strong holds. carter to be a congressman. Helena, Mont., O :t. 2, 10 p. m.— -The democrats concede the election of Carter to co gross. Toole, dem., is 300 ahead of Power, rep., for governor, with four coun ties clai tied by both parties, still to near from. The democrats have the le ;isla ur<> by a small majority. The republicans e ect a majority of the minor state officers. Tins county elects four democrats and live /re publicans to the legislature. The Independ ent claims the electi ■ 1 of Tiwle oy 3.)) to 500, and a majo ity of ru io on joint ballot in the legisla ure. All figures on mij iritios are estimate 1, as the count is not yet com pleted iu any county. WASHINGTON TEKRIrOHY’a VOTE. Woman Suffrage Snowed Under The republicans Win. Vancouver, W. TANARUS., Oct. 2.—go far as heard from the volo against woman suf frage is 2or 3to 1. It is claimed at the headquarters of the republican state centra committee that the constitution will have 20,000 majortty, the republican state ticket 8,000 to 10,000 majority, and that thedemo crats will not elect va ire than 20 members of the legislature nut of 105. All the places so far heard from report an enormous ino ease in the total vote. Seattle’s vote a full one. Seattle, W. TANARUS., Oct. 2.—The vote is 5,400, which is as large as was expected. The election passed very quietly, there being entire absence of rows at the polls. In the First ward, * hich before the fire was the most thickly populated part of the city, but whicu was e tirely cleared away by the flames, the vote fell >ff 300. The legislative ticket is believed to be re mblican through out. VV iison will probably get a majority in the county of 1,000, aud Ferry about the same. MASSACHUSETTS DEM JURATS.

Wo bedeve that fro ■wod, as provided for in the toll passed by the Uemoeratie majority of the last House of Kepreteaiatives, is essential to the prosperity of the woolen industry, upon which that of the wool grower is depend lit. We give our hearty support to the p nation of tbo i resn i repub ica i go or nor oi this .state, and other leading Iron and stool inaniifu. ttiivis of botii political parties, ad iressed to the New England members of congress, asking for free c>ai and iron ore, and lower duties upon pig iron.; SHIPBUILDING!.

ELECTION STIAUDS. While condemning frauds in elections wher ever practiced, we are fairly opposed to the scheme of a national election la v, p.iicing ihe lo al election machinery of all states uuder the control of congress.
