A PUFF FOR PENSACOLA.
ANOTHER PETITION TO BLAINE
MADE PUBLIC.
The Plucky and Ambitious Florida
Gulf Port Bound to Show Her Ad
vantages to the Delegates to the
Congress of the Americas—A Sug
gestion as to the Return Trip.
Pensacola. Fla., Oct. s.—The Pensacola
Chamber of Commerce, fearing the result of
delay in bringing south the delegates to the
international congress, has again petitioned
Secretary Blaine as follows, aud urges all
southern cities to join in their efforts:
Hon. James O. Blaine, Secretary of State,
Washington. D. C.:
g lK _Your memorialists would respectfully
represent that tney are greatly interested in the
success of the congress of the Three Americas.
Tiier present the fact that tiiey have large deal
ing* commercially with the Argentine Republic,
the empire of Brazil, and the Central American
states; that they present through the port of
Pensacola, the shortest possible line of comm ;
nutation from the center of the United Stat-s
to any and all ports in South aud Central
America, that our mail facilities are
extremely meager, but little exceeding by direct
route tuose in use when DeSoto determined to
make this port the key of his empire.
We present the fact that we are the fourth port
rank in the union iu the amount of sailing
tonnage entered and! clears 1; that we are less
than tJ miles away from the shores of Yuca
tan, due south, aud less than 1,100 miles from
the entrance of the Nicaragua canal, and that we
are to the windward of ail points to which t raffle
is desirable. We therefore wish to meet in our
home by the gulf those representatives of 8 uth
and Central America, whose wants should be
supplied from our commodities, and who should
return to us much that would add to the pros
perin' of our whole country.
We therefore pray you to so arrange matters
within the scope of public duty that these dele
gates will extend their trip south through the
mineral belt of Tennessee and Alabama
to Pensacola, one of the safest
land-locke t portsj 3 with de -p water
on the Gulf of Mexico, and the natural outlet
and inlet for an interchange of traffic between
th United States and Central America.
We are anxious to welcome the nation’s
guests to our city. W T e beg to suggest the
danger of deferring the visit to this section
until the delegates have remained absent so
long that a desire to return home would
outweigh their wish to visit their
real neighbors of the gulf states. If it
can be arranged that the delegates will leave
this country on a govermnent vessel from the
port of Pensacola, we would enjoy a feeling of
confl lence in the realization of our hopes. Bear
in mind that we are in a direct south line
through Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Bir
mingham and Montgomery, bi secting all the
strata of coal and iron in the Apalachian range.
THE DELEGATES AT BOSTON.
Boston, Mass., Oct. 5. — The All-America
exciu sion party amvod at Fall River at
8:30 o’clock this morning, breakfasted on
board the boat at 0:45 o’clock, and at 7:30
o’clock embarked on a special train for
Boston. There were no representatives
from the municipal government present at
the wharf to welcome the delegates to Fall
River. Considerable feeling has been
aroused among local manufacturers on ac
count of the apparent slight, by those in
charge, of allowing the delegates to pass the
gren rest cotton manufacturing city on this
continent without even a glance at the out
side of the sixty-three cotton mills in it.
OUT SIGHT-SEEING.
Boston was reached at 9 o’clock, and al
most immediately after reaching their
hotel they started out upon a sight-seeing
tour. The first stop was at the
Central B ston high school for boys,
the working of which, as explained
by its principal, excited the warm
est aumiration of tho visitors. They were
next taken to Waltham, where thev visited
the great watch factory, and thence to
Framingham to see the works of the Far a
rubber company. Here they were pre
sented with a set of complimentary resolu
tions handsomely engrossed in Spanish,
Portuguese and English. Ashland was ne-.t
visited, where a large shoe factory was in
spected. Boston was reached at 6:12
o’clock, and the party returned to their
hotel.
DINED BY THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

of the International American conference
a banquet to-night at the Parker house.

Mayor Prii ce, Alden Spear of the cham
ber of commerce, 11. B. Goodwin of the

of Peru, Mayor Hart, Lieut. Gov. Brackett,
John B. Henderson of St. Louis, Bolet
Periaza of Venezuela. H. B. Goodwin, pres
ident of the Boston Executive Business
Association, and others.
PERU READS OUR MOTIVES ARIGHT.
Lima, Peru, Oct. s.— El Commercio, the
oldest and leading newspaper in this city,
in its edition of Oct. 4 has a long and
enthusiast c editorial upon tho International
American Congress. “The speech of Secre
tary Blame,” it says, “delivered at
the welcome to the delegates, gives
new proof of Lis illustrious talents
as a great statesman of a ereat peo
ple. W e are satisfied that the United States
have no wish to reap any harvest from the
conference, except such as will please the
palate of all its guests at this feast of con
tinental progress.” El Commercio, in con
clusion, expresses its conviction that the
Panama canal is a work of paramount im
portance, adding: “Railroads merely upon
tno isthmus will not be sufficient for the
interests of Peruvian commerce.”

SAVANNAH. GA., SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1889.
MUST BE PEACE OB AVAR.
BISMARCK TO BRING MATTERS TO
A FOCUS.
The Chancellor Carries Hie Point and
Will Have an Interview With the
Czar—Russia to be Offered a Free-
Hand In Bulgaria If She Will Break
With France Austria Fears the
Chancellor May Play Her False.
[Copyright, 1889, by New York Associated Press.]
Berlin, Oct. s. —Official telegrams from
Fi edensborg, received at Potsdam aud the
foreign office to-night, say that the czar
will start for Berlin on Thursday next.
According to the present programme, the
czar will go to Kiel, journeying thence by
way of Oldersloe and Schwarzanbeck to
Berlin. This programme is subject to alter
ation. Col. Schirinkine, chief of the czar’s
secret police, passed through Berlin to-day
on his way to Kiel. He is accompanied by
the inspector of imperial trains. Tiie czar’s
special train, once owned by the Empress
Eugenie, lies at the station hare, having
come from Wirballen.
SWARMS OF RUSSIAN POLICE.
There are swarms of Russian police here,
at Kiel and at the stations along the pro
posed route. Russian troops line the rails
from Wirballen to Moscow. The pre
cautions taken far excel those on the occas
ion of the former visit czar and are due
to his intense Gars of an attempt upon his
life. The czarina leaves Copenhagen on
October 12 for Kouigsberg, rejoining the
czar at some point on the homeward
journey. Only court minister Wnrontzow-
Dasehkoff and jaides-do-camp aud Generals
Tehereirno aud Richter will accompany the
czar.
BISMARCK TO HAVE HIS INTERVIEW.
Under the pressing insistence of Count
Schouvaloff, the Russian ambassador to
Gertnauv, the czar will accord Prince Bis
marck the desired i itsrview. As soon as
the promise of a conference was received
the semi-official press was instructed to deny
the statement that the government intended
to apply to the reichstag for a military credit
of several hundred million marks. To
night the National Gazette turns upon
its-If. declaring that no money demands of
any imyortance were ever contemplated by
the government.
ANOTHER RETRACTION.
Ths statement that the movements of
Russian troops were threatening the safety
of the frontier is likewise pronounced ex
aggerated. The czar will pais forty-eight
hours bet ween Potsdam and Berlin. Noth
ing is expected to result from his meeting
with Bismarck. Moscow newspapers ridi
cule the idea that the czar will accept any
conciliatory overtures unless they are well
backed by solid concessions.
AUSTRIA UNEASY.
An uneasy feeling appears to prevail
in Austrian official circles, it being feared
that the chancellor is about to make anew
move by offering to assist in restoring Rus
sian domination in Bulgaria as au induce
ment to draw the czar from the French
alliance. The Vienna Fremdenbtatt's
article advocating recognition of Ferdi
nand as prince of Bulgaria has been quoted
by the North German Gazette without
comment Other semi-official papers leave
German support doubtful, although the
Vienna cabinet is known to attach supreme
importance to the question,
A DOUBLE GAME.
Prince Bismarck is suspsoted of playing a
double game. It is thought that .on one
hand bo will threaten the czar with a move
ment looking to the firm establishment of
Bulgarian independence, while on the other
hand he will offer an entente based on a
proposal that Russia shall have a freer hand
to deal with Bulgaria, and intervene in
Armenia. It is certain that if the
czar receives Prince Bismarck’s pro
posals with coldness, recognition
of Ferdinaud by the porte, the powers
forming tho triple alliance, aud England
will be an immediate sequence. The sultan
has already agreed to recognizo Ferdinand,
and only awaits the visit of Emperor Will
iam beforo issuing a formal proclamation
to that effect.
ROUGH ON THE ULTRA-CONSERVATIVES.
The Kreuz Zeitung t >-day reproduced
Emperor VV illiam’s article in the Rticksan
zeiyer rebuking its attack on the Cartel
parties. The Zeitung frankly adds that it
assailed the national liberals because con
vinced that the line of policy of the Cartel
parties, under the influence of the national
liberals, was injurious to the state, and by
virtue of the spirit of loyalty that has ani
mated its criticisms it now bows before
the opinion of the emperor. The response of
the Kreuz Zeitung , generally admitted to be
dignified and well put, conceals its
mortification at finding that the
emperor has unabated confidence in the
chancellor’s international policy, and that
he is also ready to resent toadyism from the
ultra-conservatives. The weight of the im
perial rebuke is enhanced by the announce
ment that it was written by the emperor
solely in his own initiative, and without the
knowledge of Prince Bismarck. All parties
fe 1 the importance of the utterance for tho
coming elections. It will help squash the
ultra-conservatives, aud enormously
strengthen the united conservatives and
national liberals.
FEVER IN COURT CIRCLEB AT ATHENS.
The news from Athens that fever is
ravaging the populace there, and that
several court officials are among tho
victims, alarms the imperial circle. The
emperor is due at Athens on Oct. 28. If
tho epidemic continues the marriage fetes
will be curtailed. The present programme
of three days fetes and a review of 33,000
.troops will be reduced to a quiet marriage
ceremony.
VISIT OF THE KAISER TO TURKEY.
The preparations that are being made at
Constantinople for the reception of tho
emperor indicate a prolonged stay. It is
reported that he will remain two weeks at
the Turkish capital. He will be accom
panied by Count Herbert Bismarck. Tne
length of the emperor’s visit is attributed
to an intention to inquire iuto the condition
of the Turkish army, and to test the state
ment of German officers that the porte is
still able to maintain a standing army of
400,000 men.
AN AUSTRO-GERMAN EOLLVEREIN.
The question of a zollverein between Ger
many aid Austria exercises Vienna news
papers, which argue that as the two
nations have a common foreign policy,
there is no good reason why they should Dot
also have a common economic policy to
ward nations outside the dreibund. Asa
practical approach thereto, the Neue Freie
Presse hopes that Prince Bismarck will
accord Austria, in futuie treaties of com
merce, special concessions and abolish the
most favored nation treatment now given
to France.
JULES FERRY FOR MINISTER.
M. Herbette, the French ambassador, re
turned to Berliu last night. It is reported
that he will be replaced by Jules Ferry. In
spite of some di pleasing acts of M. Ferry
while in power, Prince Bismarck is ready to
accept him.
Princess Margaret, sister of Emperor
William, is betrothed to Prince William,
heir of the Duke of Nassau. Her mother
favored the suit of the crown prince of
Denmark, whiia Bismarck favored the
prince of Nassau.
Lieut. Fischer, with two batteries of ar
tillery, las failed from Hamburg to re
enforce Copt. Wissinanu in East Africa.
The alarm over < 'apt. Wu-mann’a positiou
increases. Ho is threatened by large bodies
of well armed Arabs and natives, who are
cutting off his supplies.
BALFOUR AND THE ORANGEMEN
The Chief Secretary Warned Against
Alienating- the Order.
Belfast, Oct. 5. —Dr. Kane, grand mas
ter of the Orangemen of the district of
Belfast, in a published card, warns Mr.
Balfour, the chief secretary for Ireland,
that he will alienate the Orangemeu if he
proposes anv further endowment of Catho
lic institutions in Ireland. “The govern
ment ought rather,” continues Dr. Kane,
“ o confer its privileges and emoluments
upon every Orange ball in Iceland as a sign
of gratitude to the 150,000 Orangemen
pledged to maintain the union.”
CONYBEARE AT LONDON.
London, Oct. 5. —Mr. Conybeare, M. P
who was released from Luudo iderry jail
yesterday, was received with great enthu
siasm on his arrival in Loudon. The pro
cession, composed of thousands of friends,
escorted him to Clerkenwali green, whore
speeohes of welcome were made.
In a speech at Perth this evening, Lord
Randolph Churchill admitted the obligation
of the government to pursue a generous
policy toward Ireland. To neglect Ireland,
no said, would bo treason to the cause of
union.
Another Dock Strike at London.
London, Oct. s.—The laborers employed
in the wool warehouses on tha Loudon
decks went out on a striko this morning,
owing, as they claim, to the preference
given to “blacklegs” by the employers.
The dockmen’s strike committee to-night
paid the “blacklegs” £L each, and all have
j uned the union, aud will go to work on
Monday.
Amsterdam's Dock Laborers.
Amsterdam, Oct. s.—The dock laborers
at their meeting last night formed a union
for mutual protection. When the organiza
tion is on a strong financial basis, aud in
good working order, a striko will be in
augurated.

the new viceroy of Ireland, took the oath
of office at Dublin castle to-day.
PIERRE'S BIG BOOM.
Lots that a Week Ago Sold for SIOO
Now Brine SI,OOO.
St. Paul, Oct. 5.—A special to the
Pioneer Press from Pierre, S. D., says:
“The election of Pierre as the capital of
South Dakota bids fair to create a
boom which shall outrival that in Okla
homa last spring. Strangers are flocking
into the oity by thousands, every
train being loaded down with
prospectors and speculators. Over $500,-
000 worta of property changed hands
to-day. Lots which could have been bought
a week ago for SIOO sold to-day for SI,OOO.
The people are excited and the town is in a
constant hubbub both day and night, aud
it is impossible to preserve any kind of
order. The people have been celebrating
for forty-eight hours.
FORT PIERRE ALBO CROWDED.
Fort Pierre, across the river, is also
crowded with boomers and intended sett
lers, many of whom have escaped into the
reservation, notwithstanding the large
force of regular aud Indian police stationed
there to prevent encroachment. A scheme
was discovered to-day by the authorities
which was on fpot by a gang of boomers t >
s eak across the river at midnight and
take possession of the land around
Fort Pierre and thereby capture the town
site. Application had been quietly made
to the government tot town site papers, and
if the scheme had not been unearthed at an
opportune moment it would have probably
been successful. Military assistance has
been telegraphed for, and every attempt
will be made to preserve order.
PROHIBITION IN IOWA.
The Constitutionality of the Law
Again Affirmed.
Des Moines, la. , Oct. s.—The constitu
tionality of the lowa prohibitory liquor law
has been reaffirmed by the supreme court
in an action in replevin involving tho rights
to possession of a large quantity of beer, ail
in sealed vessels, bearing United States in
ternal revenue stamps over plugs. The
goods were shipped to a resident
of Keokuk, au agent of the
plaintiff, and were offered for sale in un
broken packages. The lower court found
as a fact that the beer was kept for sale for
ti e purpose of being sold in violation of
the laws of lowa, but that the laws are un
constitutional and void as applied to the
faots of this case.
DECLARED CONSTITUTIONAL.
The supremo court hold* that the law is
constitutional. “It is true,” says Judge
Rothrock, “they claim that in this case
there is the exception that the plain iff and
appollees are citizens and residents of
Illinois, and produce and manufacture beer
in that state an 1 sell it as manufacturers,
but no claim is made ih the argument, and
we disoover no reason why any laws of this
state, which forbid the sale of intoxicating
liquors, are not applicable to all persons, no
matter where they abide.”

shows the reserve hell to be less than 25
per cent, of the deposits, as required by
the national banking law. The deposits
amount to $412,213,800, against which only
$101,400,000 is held in reserve. The defied
is $1,668,050, as the legal requirement is
$103,066,460. A year ago, with almost
exactly the same amount of deposits, the
banks held a surplus over the legal require
ments of $11,417,500. Tho deficit is almost
wholly caused by the drain of money to the
west and south, where over $0,000,000 was
shipped last week, und a,most as much went
iu the week just preceding.

taken the null side, they endeavored to res.si
any rusu to eell, aud were partially success
ful. As today was a half holiday and no
stock could tie delivered, no mouey was
needed by the brokers, and there was au
interval of quietness in that part of the
stock exchange, no loans being made.

The People Urged to Yield Implicit
Obedience to the Elders.
Chicago, Oct. 5.— A dispatch from Salt
Lake City says: “The sixtieth general semi
annual conference of the Mormon church
begun yesterday. Wilfred Woodruff, presi
dent of the church, presided, and George
Q. Cannon of the first presidency was
piesent. Thore were also present five of
the twelve apostles of the church and a
great number of other high church officials.
President Woodruff, in his opening address,
said the Mormon church had linen estab
lished by God, and that no power oil earth
could stay its progress. Alitbe revelations
given the saints, including polygam % came
direct from God, and notwithstanding the
trials and troubles through which tho Mor
mons had passed, tho Lord would sustain
all those who obeyed his principles and his
revelations.
Apostle John W. Taylor commanded the
people to give ui,questioning obedience to
the priesthood.
PROPHETS AND SF.ERS.
" ‘These men at the head of the church,’
ho said, ‘have tho spirit of revelation and
speak for God. I bear tuy testimony that
President Woodruff and his counselors are
prophet seers aud revelatora. The hand of
God is over this church aud no power c*n
destroy it or imped-i its progress. 1 believe
iu implicit obedience in temporal and
spiritual things. We cannot retain the
spirit of God and yet be constantly finding
fault, with the priesthood. We must learn
not to judge men by what we see, not on
the basis of the limited opportunity we have
of k owing what they are doing for the
people. We should not criticize the church
authorities.’
“Eliers Jacob Gates and Honry, Apostle
Grant and Elder Abram spoke in a si nllur
vein. The cuurch authorities are embrac
i g every opportunity to keep the people in
lino politically, tot they fear that with the
loss of political newer their ecclesiastical
supremacy would be greatly weakened,”

Joaquin County.

of San Joaquin county has presented its
final report concerning the case of Deputy
United States Marshal Nagle. It says the

United States circuit court has decided that
Deputy N gle cannot be tried by the state
court essentially for like want of jurisdic
tion, from which it is fair to conclude that

I dismiss without further remark this
