AND TO LOWELL.
Lively Interest Taken in All Tbay Saw
and Especially in the Print Works-
Secretary Curtis Explains That
Stops Can’t Be Made as Requested
by Several Places.
Boston', Oct. 7.—The delegates to the
pan-American congress entered carriages at
the Hotel Veudome this morning at 8:30
o’cl ck, and wero driven to the Boston and
Maine railrrod astation. Henceforth the
p-.rty will live on the train secured
for them by the United States
government. This marvel of railway
equipment was admired by a large
number of persons in tne depot this morn
ing. At 9:10 o’clock the train left the sta
tion on its way to Lawrence and LowelL
The party arrived at Lawrence about 10
oV 1 ck. Here they were shown through
ti.r Pacific cotton mills. They did not:
undertake to follow the process of spinning
and weaving cotton into cloth, but did
closely examine the print works, and also
the paper mills of W. A. Russell & Cos.,
w hare they saw blocks of wood turned into
rolls of printing paper. Then they went to
Lowell, where they visited the great manu
facturing concerns.
THE FIRST DAY OF BUSINESS.
The day has been the first one of solid
business upon lines upon and within which
the international congress was projected.
Foreigners, iu several instances, have placed
themselves in closer relations with the
manufacturing interests they have visited.
They have carefully and shrewdly observed
what they have seen. They have talked of
prices, terms, and business methods with
the heads of the establishments visited.
Mexico for instance indicated an interest in
carpets, and Costa Rica has scrutinized
prints with a business purpose.
A SPECIMEN DIALOGUE.
At the Pacific works in Lawrence, sub
stantially this dialogue took place between
a southern delegate and the head of the
concern:
"You use fustic dye woods, do you not?”
asked the foreigner.
"We do, much of it,” was the interested
answer.
“There is no duty in your country on fus
tic, and wo can furnish you that,” said the
delegate.
The mill official displayed a lively inter
est, and subsequently ihe two had arranged
to exchange prices and samples, and condi
tions of s.dpmeut w re compared. Other in
quiries in a like direction were made and
promptly met.
MUST STICK TO THE ITINERARY.
William E. Curtis, who, under the direc
tion of the state department, is in charge of
this international expedition, has received a
great number of telegrams from cities who
are importunate that the train and
its occupants shall stop for inspection
and entertainment While these evi
dences of national interest are
deemed gratifying, Mr. Curtis desires
through the Associated Press dispatches to
answer ail these cities speedily, that the
route has been carefully laid out, and that
every moment of time allotted is so utterly
filled that no deviation from the already
announced itenerary is possible. This is
definite.
THE CHILIAN MINISTER.
Mr. Curtis lias also reoeived a telegram
from the Chilian minister, who is a delegate
to the congress, and who has recently ar
rived in this country, saying that
as soon as he has recovered
from the effeots of his long sea
voyage he will join the excursion party.
H is a man advanced iu years, and the
fatigue of the voyage has necessitated a
res. before lie again undertakes a journey.
The party dined aboard the train while
returning to Boston from Lowell, and upon
their arrival here were driven to the theater,
where the evening was g. ent.

LAKE HURON IN A FURY.
Vessels Tossed at the Merer of a
Storm and Several Lives Lost.
Chicago, Oct. 7. —Dispatches from sev
eral points report a terrific storm on Lake
Huron yesterday. It is feared that several
vessels have gone down. At Band Beach,
Mich., several vessels put in Saiurdav
night. Yesterday a huge sea struck the
propeller Otsego, smushel in the port rail
and instantly killed the mate, Thomas M.
Fisuer.
W eel man Thomas Rowland, of the pro
peller Rosednle, was killed during the
s orm. While the vessel was in Saginaw
bay laboring in a heavy sea the wheel got
a wav from the mate and wheelman, and
the latter was killed.
The senooner Magruder, laden with lum
ber, was driven ashore in Band Beach
harbor.
A dispatch from Detroit reports the
sleamer Viking aground ou St. Clair flats
and the steam barge Glasgow on Pelee
island.
RUN DOWN AND SUNK.
The barge Wend the Wave, one of the
Glasgow’s consorts, was run down and sunk
b the schooner J. D. Sawyer. The cook, a
woman, was drowned.
A dispatch from Port Huron says many
vessels put in there badly damaged, and
several are reported ashore at different
points. The big steamer, Chumuug, ar
rived in Port Huron lust oveui.ig. Her
captain reports that the Chumuug’s air
pump burst in the morning. The steamer
drifted iu the trough of the sea and shifted
her cargo. She arrived at Port Huron
almost on her beam ends. Two vessels
report a black, throe-masted steam barge,
with one smoke-stack, ashore at White
Rock. Both think it is the Rhode Emily, or
the Escanaba of the Owen Line. No fatal
ities are so far reported, except those men
tioned.

Large Majority.
Hartford, Conn., Oct. 7. —Returns from
towns that cast more than two-thirds of

whioh has been investigating the accident
which occurred on the New York Central

SAVANNAH, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1889.
MASONRY’S PROUD HOST.
THE GALLANT KNIGHTS TAKE
WASHINGTON BY STORM.
The Capital a City of Waving Plumes
and Bright Uniforms—The Red Cross
of the Templars Spread Over Every
Wall—The Day Cold, But the Wel
come Warm.
Washington, Oct 7.—Palestine Com
mandery No. 7, Knights Templar, of
Savannah, arrived here at 11:27 o’clock
this morning, and is located at the Grand
Commandery’s headq mrters, Nos. 1528 to
1532 I street, next to the Arlington hotel.
A brisk, chilly northwest wind, which flut
tered the flags and streamers decorating the
buildings along the liue of march which
will be followed by the Kuights Templar
to-morrow, proved a rather oold wel
come to the visiting commanderies
arriving in the city to-day. But
the warm reception which they
received from the crowds on the streets
acted as an offset to the inclemency of the
weather. The organizations already com
fortably ensc need in their hotels and other
hosielries, together with the ladies accom
panying them, were engaged in viewing the
publio buildings and other points of interest.
A CITY OF WAVING PLUMES.
The district commanderies, resplendent
in ostrich plumes aud bright uniforms, were
busily engaged in escorting the arriving
guests to tneir headquarters. The roll of
drums aud blare of trumpets everywhere
filled the air, as commandery aft r com
mands ry filed up the wide avenue. The
city is a city of waving plumes,
flaunting flags and glittering cos
tumes. Knights have been arriving all day,
and will continue to come until to-morrow
morning. All the hotels and a majority of
the boarding houses iu ihe city have been
converted iuto temples with the red cross
banner hung from the windows, and every
place where food was served was besieged
from eurly in the morning.
ORDERLY AND FINE APPEARING.
They are the most orderly g eat crowd
that has ever appeared in VVaslungfon. The
most striking feature of the gathering,
a-ide from the great numbers aud flue ap
pearance of the men, is the large number
of ladies and children that accompany the
knights. There seems to be fully one
halt as many ladies from abroad
upon the streets as there are
Templars, all wearing badges of
some kind to identify them with the sol
diers of the cross. Another feature of the
occasion is the great number of fine hands,
of which every commandery seems to liave
brought one, and all of them are good mu
sicians. Receptions and serenades are the
order of tue evening, and good music aud
good fellowship abouud.
QUARTERS FOR 22,000.
Quarters have been engaged for 22,000
knights, but 18,000 is probably a conserva
tive estimate of the knights who will be
here. It is expected that at least 15,000 or
16,000 persons will De in li e to-morrow
morning. Tennessee, Georgia and Vir
ginia are the only southern states
which send n good repress itation to the
conclave. The banner states in tie number
of knights and commanderies here are
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York and Massachusetts. Kentucky
only semis three commanderies, but
two of them, Louisville No. 1,
and DeMolay, No. 2. ef Louisville, are
crack organizations and widely known and
hlguly esteemed in the ranks of Free
Masonry. DeMolay o unrnandery brings
with it a magnificent band of about
save ity pieces, and one that greatly re
sembles our own famous Marine baud.
NAVASSA’S RIOT.
The Laborers Claim that They Fired
in Self Defense.
Washington, Oct. 7.—The state depart
ment is in receipt of a partial report by
W. G. Allen, the United States consul at
Kingston, Jamaica, of the recent riot at
Navassa. It agrees with the press acoounts
already published, aud has in addition tne
followi g letter from -Mr. Henson, spiritual
adviser of the laborers, gising t eir version
of the trouble:
Navassa, Sept. 15. 1889.
To His Honor , the American Consul of Kings
ton, Jamaica. West Indies:
We, the undersigned, laborers for the Navassa
Phosphate Company, were attacked by the
bosses and managers with tire-arms because we
refused to work after being improperly treated.
Our grievances were various, and we
demanded a hearing before the present
acting superintendent, C. I). Smith.
They immediately fired promiscuously among
us, wounding fur men. We, believing there
was nothing between us and death, with
stood the fire and captured some of their fire
arms. i iiirai; the affray one of the bosses was
wounded. They went under cover of a house aud
fired ou us the secon I time. During the affray
two of the bosses were fatally injured. They then
evacuated the armory, wnica we now have in
poasessn >n, treating the remaining bosses with
due courtesy, with no further acts of violence
on our part. We now await to hear from you,
hoping you will s-nd immediately relief, or
vessel to carrv us back to the U nlted States of
America. We remain, yours, one hundreu and
thirty-six souls, all American citizens, awaiting
your instant action. William n. Henson,
Spiritual Adviser.
CONSCIENGa FUND OABH.
A Bt. Joseph Man Who Doubted ex-
Secretary Manning Unjustly.
Washington, Oct. 7.—Secretary Win
dom’s mail this morning included a letter
p st-marked St. Joseph, Mo., and contain
ing United States notes to the amount of
sils(l, each of which was mutilated so as to
be u-eless for further circulation. The
money was accompanied by a note, as fol
lows:
Secretary of the Treasury:
D r,H Snt—Six hundred and fifty dollars is
considerable money for me, and only a drop in
the bucket for Uncle Sam, but I want the
money to go where it belongs. Money is a
blessing to a man when it is got honestly, but
a curse when got dishonestly. I am trying to
right a wrong a< near as can be. About
February, 1887, Secretary Manning received
$5,000 icouseienoe money; by New York draft.
Written on tne back of the dra.t was that It was
to be put into the Uni ed tales treasury, but as
that never appeared in print, it is believed (by
the writer) tnat Secretary Manning appro
priated it to his own use.
[No signature.]
Tne records of the department show that
on March 28, 1887, the sum of $4,905 was
received in an anonymous letter, post
marked Bt. Joseph, Mo., and deposited in
the treasury to the credit of the oousolaooe
fund. ________________

first speaker was Missionary Bishop Haro
of South Dakota. Bis .op Hare spoke of
the need of financial assistance in South
Dakota, but said the greatest need was that
of men—strong, zealous, earnest miuislers
of Christ, who would be satisfied to find
their pay mainly in giving the word of God
to those who are in darkness.
APPEAL OF THE COLORED PEOPLE.
At the conclusion of Bishop Hare’s ad
dress, Bishop Whipple of Minnesota re
p rted back the report of the colored
commissiou, aecomp mied with an a ipeal in
behalf of their work, asking that $40,000 be
ppropriated for that work during the
coming year, and that the diocese of Ken
tucky be asked to permit Bishop Dudley,
who, he said, seemed destined to be an
apostle to the colored people, to give as
mucu time as possible to the work under
taken by the commission. The repo t was
made the order of the day, to be taken up
as soon as the order of the day preceding
was disposed of.
Washington’s needs.
The next speaker was Missionary Bishop
Paddock of Washington. He also told of
the work done during the past three years,
and of the needs of the dLeeeo for ft an
cial assistance. He was followed by
Missionary Bishop Walker of Northern
Dakota. Ho said that when he went to
Dakotn, he was glad to learn that it was an
agricultural, and not a mining oorunou .ity.
But he had learned that even farme. s might
be migratory.
SHRIVELED BY THE BLIZZARDS.
With the exception of two or three towns
in North Dakota, all the other t .wna have
shriveled during the past year, and many
who have settled as farmers there have
moved away. One gmac cause of this, he
said, m gbt be found in the blizzards. De
spite the difficulties encountered, the num
ber of churches increased from four to seveu
teeu, and of these only throe are in debt.
The bishop said he needed four new
churches, anil also asked that be be pro
vided with a car in wbiob ho aud other
missionaries could travel and sleep, and
from the rear of which they could preach.
DAKOTA’S CITIES.
Along the line of the railroads in Dakota,
he said, were numerous so-oalled tow s or
cities, many of them numbering only seven
or eight houses, and these houses so small
that there was not room in them to give
accommodation to a visit >r for the nigut.
The exceeding coldness of the winters made
it necessary to build the bouses as -mall an
tberequirernen sof theta lly would admit.
Bishop Walker’s time wua extended to 1
'clock, when the board took a recess for an
hour.
THE WORK IN CHINA.
At the afternoon session Bishop Clark, of
Rhode Island, presided. The fir*t speaker
was Rev. Robert Sna'v-Locke, who for the
past fifteen years has been i ml-iionary in
China. He said tha the only hope of con
verting the Chinese, Japanese or native* of
India was by having native missionaries.
To thi k of converting China by means of
one bishop and five missionar.es was absurd.
LIBERIA’S WANTS.
The next speaker was a colored man,
Rev. Pauius Moore of Cape Palmas, Africa.
He suggested that the United States should
subsidize a lino of steamers to Liberia.
This, he urged, would benefit the c mmer
cial interests of the United States and
benefit the interests of the church in Africa.
Christi inity, he said, was a prac ioal ques
tion, and it should befou and in commerce, in
trade, and in politics a i well as in religion.
He concluded by asking that $150,000 he
given to the Liberiau mission to build
churches aud schools, and sustain mission
aries.
Missionary Bishop Talbott, of Wyoming
and Idaho, spoke of the work progressing
in his diocese, and of its need* both in
money and m>-n.
BISHOP VAIL’S DEATH.
At the conclusion of Bishop I'slbott’* ad
dress Rev. Dr. Beattie of Kansas moved
that tuo sewion adjourn as a mark of re
spect to the memory of Bishop Veal of Kan
sas, who died Oot 6at Bryn Mawr, Pa.,
while on his way to this convention. Before
the motion was adopted it wa* resolved
that resolution* of regret for the death of
Bishop Vail be adop ed anil that a deputa
tion should be appointed to attend bis
funseat
At the session of the bouse of bishop* it
was reerived that Bishop* Clark of Rhode
island. Qtnnterd of Tsui mauve, and W hippie
of Mioaeeul* should attend the funeral.
