THE CITY TURNED OUT.

I lasted together. It is the intention of the
I President’s brother to accompany the party
I until Kansas City is reached, when the
I former will be the guest of his brother
I John.
I NOT DAMPENED BY BAD WEATHER.
I Early in the forenoon the weather
I became unfavorable and rain be-
I gun to fall, but it did not seem to dampen
I trie enthusiasm of the lowaus, and certainly
I did not seriously mar the ceremonies of the
I occasin , which took place under the root
M of the Ottumwa coal palace and the lowa
I Industrial exposition.
I At 10 o’clock President Harrison, under
I tne escort of Hon. Horace Boies, governor
■ ot lowa, and Senator P. G. Ballingall, was
I escorted through the ooal palace building,
I which is of a very unique character. The
I c al pula-u was full of interest to the Presi
■ dent, and his surprise and admiration were
■ ttoioughly evinced by his numerous ques
■ tions.
I THE GRAND PARADE.
I At 1 o’clock the grand parade of the day
I look place. The column was headed by a
I platoon of police, followed by the Presi
■ dent and governor’s carriage, Secretary
I lracy and the io-t of the President’s party,
■ the state and city officials, old soldiers'
I frganizationg and citizens. As soon as the

■ stand. President Harrisou and his party and
■ Gov. Boies and tiis staff occupied the stand,

At 2 p. m. the public ceremonies of the

in the presence ot about 10,000 people.
|Gov. Horace Boies next followed in a brief

P : ' people for their hearty welcoming, and
insuring them of the pleasure it afforded

Beopie of lowa on the phenomenal progress
Which they had made as a state
Withi-. the past decade, and was gratified
■y t ;e evidences of prosperity which he ob

Jagnificent structure (the coal palace),
Which was justly the pride of the city of

Wtistic culture which were a credit to the

point the President’s carriage was driven
conveniently close, and he bowed his ac
knowledgments to the 3,000 happy children,
3,000 flags waved vigorously in as many
haooy hands, and then 3,000 voices sang
“America,” with words to suit the occa

OUR NEW TARIFF.
Dead Frogs Subject to Duty as Raw
Material.
Washington, Oct. 9.—The treasury de
partment has informed the customs collector
at Detroit that dead frogs are dutiable at 10
per csent. ad valorem as raw unmanufact
ured article*. The department says it never
decided the question before, though it once
suggested that they were dutiable at 3ft per
cent, as “prepared meats.” This appears
untenable, however, as it is understo *1 the
frogs are not prepared in any manner.
INOPERATIVE TILL DEC. 1.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Mason
has informed several collectors that the sec
tion of the new tariff bill relative to the
fortification of wine* witn brandy free of
tax will be practically inoperative before
Deo. 1, because new stamps cannot be se
cured until then.
DENOMINATED A MEASURE OF VIOLENCE.
Berlin, Oct. 9. The Fremdenbiatt in a
bitter article calls the McKinley bill a
measure of violence worthy of a nation ac
customed to the ue of the revolver. It ap
peals to the countries of Europe to act in
conoert to prevent their becoming tribu
tary to the new world. England, it says,
threatens to compensate herself for her loss
by securing the eastern markets. Thus
the McKinley bill threatens to engender
economic war between Great Britain and
Central Europe.
WILL NOT MAKE EXHIBITS AT THE FAIR.
Rome, Oct. 9. —The oommittee appointed
to arrange for the proper representation of
Italian art and industry at the world’s fair
in Chicago has dissolved, having decided
that any further efforts to accomplish the
work for which it was formed would be use
less. It is stated that the committee found
that, in view of the United States new
tariff law, very few manufacturers or
others were willing to send exhibits to Chi
cago.
CANADA URGED TO ADOPT FREE TRADE.
London, Oct. 9.— The Times says there is
no reason to quarrel with the United States
over the new tariff law, but the less said
about the friendliness and kinship of the
two countries the tetter. It urges Canada
to adopt a free trade policy, bolding that
she will then be able to practically exclude
America from competition.
MAY BE WITHDRAWN FREE.
Washington, Oct. 9.— Assistant Secre
tary Spaulding of the treasury department
has senji to the collector of customs at New
York a telegram saying that “goods free
under the present law warehoused under
the provisions of the previous law may now
be withdrawn free.”
PUTTING UP THE PRICES.
Pittsburg, Oct. 9.—At a meeting of the
Flint and Lime Glass Manufacturers’ Asso
ciation in this city yesterday an advance of
not quite 5 per cent, in prices was made.
A NEW PENSION RULING.
Prisoners Who Enlisted In the Con
federate Service Not Debarred.
W arhinqton. Get. 9. Assistant Secre
tary Bussey has rendered in the case of
Kussell 8. Cole, late of Company D, First
New York veteran cavalry, a decision that
defines the stutus of primers of war who,
having enlisted in the confederate service in
order to escape imprlsotnent and return to
their own command, are applicants for
pension on,. account of disabilities
incurred by reason of service in line of
duty. This decision rescinds the ruling
made by Commissioner Black May 25,1885,
holding that.regardless of circumstances and
of motives, a prisoner of war enlisting in the
confederate service, even as a device to
escape trom starvation in imprisonment,
should be held as having “voluntarily” aided
the rebellion, and therefore tarred from
pensio s.
In overruling Gen, Black’s decision, Bus
sey says that a soldier’s enlistment in the
confederate service in order to escape
was but a continuation in another form of
the duties to which be had been subject in
Andersonville prison. That it was simply a
device to rejoiu his company, the assistant
secretary says, is shown by the fact
that when bo escaped be did
immediately rejoin his command, and
served in the union army. This record is a
ooraplete vindication of the soldier’s mo
tive, loyalty and honor; and the fact that
the government never tried or punished
him shows that his statement of why he
enlisted in the confederacy was entirely
satisfactory.
THB QUESTION NOT DHOIDBO.
Rumor That an Extra Session Would
Be Called Denied.
Washington, Oct. 9.—The story that an
extra session of congress will be called to
consider the federal election bill was set
afloat here again to-day. Private Secretary
Halford, however, sent a telegram saying
that the reports were untrue, and that the
question of calling an extra session had not
yet been decided.
NEWSMONGERS UPSET.
Special to the Morning News.
Washington, Oct. 9.—Some ot the
people who revived the report here that the
President would certainly call an extra ses
sion of congress to meet in November are
upset by the denial that comes from lowa
through Private Secretary Halford, and
tbev are falling back on 8 motors Paddock
and Aldrich as the authorities.
Redemption of 4 1-2 Bonds.
Washington, Oct. 9.—The Secretary of
the Treasury to-day issued a circular stat
ing that nntil further notice bonds of the
4)£ per cent, loan of 1891 will be redeemed
with interest to Aug. 31,1395, on presenta
tion at the treasury department in Wash
ington. '
Brooklyn’s Population 804,377.
Washington, Oct. 9.—The population of
Brooklyn, N. Y., as announced by the cen
sus bureau to-day, is 804,377, an increase of
237,714, or 41.95 per cent.
A COUNTERFEITER CONFESBEB.
Be Turned Out $4,000 Worth of $2
Silver Certificates.
Louisville, Ky.,Oct. 9.— John Schmidt,
the counterfeiter, has confessed to Detective
Bauer that he bad been guilty of counter
feiting $2 silver certificates and had suc
ceeded in working them off in large num
bers. In all $4,000 worth was counterfeited.
Schmidt, according to his confession,
was assisted in “shoving the queer” in this
city by Miles Ogle, the king of counter
feiters. A number of plates were found by
Detective Bauer yesterday at Madison. The
evidence should be sufficient to keep Ogle
in confinement the balance of his days.
SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1890.
THEIR DEMAND REFUSED.
THE ERIE RAILROAD DECLINES TO
RAISE EMPLOYES’ WAGES.
A Claim That the Company Pays as
High Wages as Competing Lines.
Non-Unionists Driven From Work.
Monongabela Miners Demand In
creased Wages—Bradford Weavers
Ptrike for a Penny Advance.
New York, Oct. 9. —The Erie railroad,
thrnugh President King, to-day made known
its reply to the demands of its employes
made some days ago. The demauds of the
men are refused. The reply says tho com
pany is unable to advance wages gen
erally. It does not expect or desire
to pay less wages than those j>aid by com
peting roads, and cannot pay higher wages.
The pre-ent rates are said to lie higher than
the average paid by other roads. Where
they are lower the company will readjust
rates. To that part of the demands asking
for an agreement with respect to discharges,
lay-offs and the like, the company says that
su h matters are in the control of road
officers, and that the interests of the road
require that there should be no interfer
ence with its discipline or business man
agement. The proposition that ten hours
shall constitute a day’s work and that
over-time shall be paid for, the com
pany say is really not a matter
of hours but a proposition for an inc-eas#
of wages. At present the men are paid by
the trip, and the proposition says that
where trips exoeed ten hours over time
shall be allowed, but does not say wages
shall be reducod where trips occupy less
time.
NON-UNIONISTS DRIVEN FROM WORK.
Sydney, N. S. W., Oct. 9. —The non
union ooal miners who took the places of
strikers at Buli were attacked to-day by
unionists, who drove the non-union men
away aud occupied the mines. The police
were unable to cope with the strikers and
reinforcements have been sent to aid them
in restoring order.
WILL DEMAND INCREASED PAY.
Pittsburg, Oct. 9.—The miners of the
Monongahela district will demand an in
crease ot half a cent per bushel this month.
If the operators refuse the demand a strike
will ensue which will affect 6,000 miners.
WEAVERS STRIKE.
London, Oct. 9—Six hundred weavers
employed in Leister & Co.’s mills at Brad
ford struck to-day for an ad vance of a
penny per piece. The demand was refused,
but the company offers an advance of one
half penny.
LIVERPOOL’S CARTMEN STRIKE SETTLED.
Liverpool, Oct. 9.—The strike of the
cartmen In this city has been practically
settled by a conference between the em
ployers and the men, to the advantage of
the latter.
PRESBYTERIAN REVISIONISTS.
Hard at Work, but Their Deliberations
KeDt Secret.
Pittsburg, Oot. 9. —The committeo work
ing on the revision of the Presbyterian
confession of faith is still at work, and are
as quiet as ever about tbeir deliberations.
They have only fairly begun to see the long,
tedi us job before them. 80 far everything
has been harmonious, and tho committee is
as yet a unit on the work, whioh, as far as
it has progressed, has been on a very con
servative Hue. The radical revisionists are
held in check bv the “antis,” and thus those
favoring conservative changes have the ad
vantage.
The committee to-day accepted an Invi
tation of Judge Strong to hold the next
meeting in the Church of the Covenant at
Washington. It will convene Feb. 4, 1891
Dr. Mooie expressed the opinion to-night
that the committee will adjourn next Mon}
day. This is necessary in order that some
of the members may attend tho session of
their synods. There was free dis
cussion to-day, and the opinions
expressed differed os widely as those
of synods the speakers represent. It is
feared this will cause confusion when action
is taken, and the president thinks it advisa
ble to give plenty of time to discussion be
fore attempting to vote.
Tho expreisions in section 3 of article 8
reading as follows:
By decree of God some men and angels are
predefined Into everlasting life and others
foredained to everlasting death.
Expressions were received from thirty
eight presbvteries. Three favored omission,
ten revision, nine insertions of various
kinds aud sixteen omission of the last clause.
When chanter IV. was reached a number
of scientific papers were read asking
for the elimination of thi*
clause, stating that the earth was created in
six days. The opinion seemed to prevail
that the six days mentioned in the Bible
refer to the six periods of time as geologic
ally divided, and the section will probably
be changed to express that idea.
MISSISSIPPI'S CONVENTION.
Majority Report of the Franchise Com
mittee Ordered Printed.
Jackson, Oct. 9. —The convention to
day was engaged in discussing the proposi
tion submitted by Judge Blair to abolish the
distinction between law and equity courts.
Most of the lawyers on the floor of the
convention are opposed to any change, and
the indications are that the proposition will
be defeated.
The report ot the franchise committee
was ordered printed to-day. The majority

COMTE DE PARIS AT RICHMOND.
To Visit Virginia Battlefields To-Day.
The Trip Up the James.
Fort Monroe, Va., Oct 9.—The Comte
de Paris and party, including CoL Coppin
ger of the United States army, arrived
here this morning at 6 o’clock on the steamer
George Leary from Washington. They
were transferred an hour later to the
steamer Ariel, by which they are to be
taken up the James river to Richmond, ar
riving there about 5 o’clock this afternoon.
THE PARTY AT RICHMOND.
Richmond, Va., Oct, 9.- The Comte de
Pari* and party arrived hero at 5 o’clock
this afternoon after a plea-ant sail on the
historic James river from Portress Monroe.
There were very few other p ;ssengers on
the steamer, and tho officers shewed the
distinguished party every consideration.
T hey partook of an old-fashiouod Virginia
dinner about 1 o’clock, although as
a matter of fact it was a
breakfast to the euttre party. With this
exception the count spent nearly the entire
time occupied by the trip on the hurricane
deck examining the many historical point*
that lined the route. He was provided with
a large map of the country and frequently
called the attention of other memt>era of
his party to place* that were familiar to
him through his services with Gon. McClel
lan in the peninsular campaign. He showed
a thorough knowledge of the topography
and characteristics of the country, aud re
called many interesting reminiscenses of
his army experience, particularly in tho
vicinity of Malvern Hill, of which, how
ever, a distant view only was had. He
also showed a keen intern t in the ruined
chapel at Jamestown, the tomb ot Kiug
Powhatan.
SHE PLAYED THE MARSEILLAISE.
During the course of the afternoon the
Comte de Paris and tho Count d’Haussoa
ville went into a saloon for a short chat. A
young lady of Richmond sat at the piano
playing a waltz aud when sho had finished
that piece she thought it would be a good
thing to compliment the Frenchman
with one of tho patriotic air*
of • France. She knew but two.
tho “Marseillaise" and “Boulanger’s March,”
and not being sufficiently conversant with
tbe politics of the French republic to know
which was appropriate to the count, she
played both. As he listened tooacti of them
with imperturbable mauner, she was left
entirely in ignorance as to which was the
proper selection.
A largo crowd greeted tho steamer upon
her arrival at Richmond, but there was no
demonstration. The count and party were
received by Col. Archer Anderson and
Capt. Philip Haxall, representing Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, who was unable to be present,
and were esoorted in carriages to the Ex
change hotel, where a suite of apartments
had teen reserved for them.
VISIT TO VIRGINIA BATTLEFIELDS.
The Comte do Baris remained quietly at
the hotel, and retired early. The pro
gramme for to-morrow includes a visit to
the battlefields ot MecbanlcsviUa, G nines
Mills and Cold Harbor, and possibly Soven
Pines. Tho Comte de Paris and all except
two of the party will make the entire trip,
covering about twenty miles, on|horsebaok.
While in New York tho count wrote to
ex-Gov. Lee, asking him to meet him and
his party and escort them around the city.
He also expressed himself as being very
anxious to have Gen. tee accompany him
to the battlefields, and stated that he had
tho highest respect for Gen. R. R.
Lee’s military reoord, as well as
that of his nephew. Ho said that he
looked upon the visit to Cold Harter with
Gov. Lee as one of tho most pleasant an -
ticipations of his wholo trip. Gen. Lee, who
is now at Glasgow, has written the count
that he regrets that he will be unable to
accompany him, but assure* him a hearty
weloome by friends who will repress:!t him
on this occasion.

ject of discnssion at the Mohonk Indian
conference tc-day was “What Bhor.ld be

ferenoe seemed atmut evenly divided
as to whether or not it was advis
able to continue the contract schools,
which are conducted by the various

in the work of educating the Indian, and
Bishop Whipple, Rev. Dr. Htrioby, Gen.

such co-operation and maintained that the
oontract sohools had done great good for the
Indiana

THE TIPPERARY POLICE.
Mr. Harr am, M. P., Who was Severely
Injured in the Court House Club
bing, Testifies Against the Consta

to One by Officers—struck From
Behind.

Commons for the middle division of Tip
perary, who was quite severely injured by
the police. Mr. Healy declared that on tho
occaaiou in question for every adult in the
crowd outside of the court house gate*
there were four armed policemen.
THE ASSAULTS UNNECESSARY.
Upon the ooncluiion of Mr. Healy’* re
marks Mr. Harrison took tho stand. He
testified that there were fewer than fifty
civilians outside the court bouse ween lie
arrived, white there was a large force of
policemen on each side of the gutef. The
(>olioe used great and unnecessary violence,
aud as Mr. O’Brien appeared to bo in groat
danger the wituosa sent out into the rear
to see if anything could be done to check
tbe violence of the police. Col. Caddell,
who was in oommaud, addressed the police,
saying something to tho effect that they
must go lu out. of that aud nut mako any
disturbance. Thi* command not being
obeyed, the witness asked the pnliceritan
why they disoteved thoir officer’s orders.

responsible to his country and Ms God.
