Enthusiastic Thousands Throng the Depot at 6 O'clock In the Morning. Addressed by the President—Met by Vast Crowds at Topeka—A Oreat Reunion of Old Boldlers—Topekana Honor the Nation’s Executive. Atchison, Kan,. Oct. 10.—The President arose earlier this morning than on any previous morning during his trip west. The first reception in the state of Missouri was to take place at St. Jossph. As that city was reached about 6:30 o’clock, the President and his party had only time to hastily arise and take coffee before entering the city. At the union de pot an immense crowd was assembled, and the President was evidently pleased at the generous reception tendered him at such an early hour. Conspicuous in the orowd was Custer Post, Grand Army of the Republic, which, drawn up in line, made a passageway for the President and party and acted as an icort until the neighboring hotel was reached, where the public reception was to take place. GREETED WlTjj CHEERS. As the President and Secretary Tracy appeared on the balcony in front of the hotel under the escort of Col. A. C. Dawes, general passenger agent of the Haanibal and St. Joe railroad, hearty oheers burst from the crowd. “Citizens of St. Joseph,” said Col Dawes, “it is not necessary for me t > make any speech of welcome to the Pres ident of the United States. His time with ns being limited, I now have the pleasure of introducing to vou benjamin Harrison, President of the United States.” [Great ap plause.] The President spok# as follows : My fellow citizens, If you are glad to see me at this hour in the morning, if you are so kind ami demonstrative bfore breakfast, how great would have been your welcome if I could nave com - later in the (lay. [Applause.] I beg to thank you who, with so much Incon tinence, at this hour, have turned out to speak there words of welcome to us as we pass through your city. lam glad to have, this niorn.ug. a brief and imperfect opportunity to look upon it. For many years I hive read of St. Joseph; I know something of its history when, instead of being a railroad city, it was the place of outfitting for those alow and toilsome trains that bore the early pioneers toward California and the far west. Those days were days not to be despised. Those means of communication were slow, but they bore men and women full of courage and patriotism to do for us on the Pacific coast and in the great west. Tlie President then warned the people not to let the swifter times in which we live make then forget to prize the solid vir tues which have iri every time of trial ena bled u-to call out from among the people men fit to lead our armies and meet every emergency. AN EXHORTATION TO PATRIOTISM. IV * are here as American citizens not as par tisans. We are here as comrades of the late war. if there are here those who, under an other banner, fought for what seemed to them to b right, we are her * to say to one or all that i ,od knew what was best for the country when he east the issue in favor of the union and constitution. [Applause and cheers.] Let us then in all kindliness and faithfulness in devotion to right, as Qod shall give us light to see it, go forward In dis charge of our duties, setting above everything else the flag, the constitution and the law upon w.uoh all our rights and all our securities are blued. [Cheers.] Now, comrades of the Grand f army of the Republic and fellow citizens of Ji ssouri, again I thank you and bid you good i by. [Cheers.] At tie c inclusion of the President’s re marks the party retired to the rotunda of the depot, where the President shook hands with the crowd a3 they tiled through. Just heiore the train pulled out little Adeie haye,, the 4-year-old niece of Col. A. C. bawes, presented the President with a Ibeautiful bouquet, and was rewarded with P ro[li Ibe nation’s chief executive. I Ihe run to Atchison was made without incident beyond the lusty cheering of the ■crowds at the depots ns the train went bv I? rou l te t 0 this city.

[Cries of “Good” and oheenng.] This is good American doctrine, and if it can be made to prevail in all states until every man is secure under the law in bis own right, and is compelled by law to yield to every other man his right, nothing can shake our repose. [Cheers.] Senator Ingalls made a speech in which he injected a little politics by speaking of the recent admission of six territories as states, and adding that in ail that com munity every man, black or white, rich or poor, can vote once and nave that vote honestly counted. The President and his party were driven rapidly from the fair grounds to the special train, whioh pulled out promptly at 4 o’clock p. m. ESCORTED TO KANSAS CITV. Kansas City, Mo., Oot. 10.— A commit tee composed of representatives from the municipal government, headed by Mayor Holmes, and from the Commercial Club and other organliations, joined the party at Topoka. No further stop was made until the train reached Lawrence. There another large assemblage greeted the President, and the school children added to the welcome by a profusion of bouquets and waving of flags. The President made a brief speech. Kansas City was reached at 5:45 o’olock, and under escort of Hon. William Warner, Mayor Holmes and other distinguished gen tlemen and the committees the President and bis party were driven around the city somewhat and finally taken to the Coates house. Here a magnificent banquet was tendered to the President, Secre tary Tracy, the President’s brother, John S. Harrison, and the remainder of the presidential party. Before the con clusion of the banquet the President de cided to visit the residence of his brother, whose home is in Kansas City. He is much younger than the President and, strange to say, is a democratic politician. This evening after his return from the residence of his brother the President was given a public reception at the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. It was an enthusi astic occasion and thousands of people were present The President shook bands for an hour until he was completely exhausted, and then not half the people had gained an entrance. At 10 p. ro, be left for St. Louis. COTTON CROP OUT OFF. A Decline In Averages of 6 per Cent, for October. Washington, Oct. 10.—The statistical returns of the department of agriculture report a material decline in the cotton prospects, the fall in general percentage being from 85 to 80. State averages as follows: Virginia 92, North Carolina 91, South Carolina 83, Georgia 63. Florida 81, Alabama 80, Mississippi 75, Louisiana 83, Texas 77, Arkansas 80, Tennessee 83. The largest deterioration has been in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana, on the fertile and productive bottom lands of the Mississippi river. The cause is too much rain. The excess of moisture, coupled with lack of sunshine aud reduced temperature, delays opening, causes immature bolls to droop and full grown ones to rot, induces the sprouting of seel and discolors opea cotton near the ground and discharges the coloring matter of the bolls, staining the fiber. The value of the crop will be some what reduced by the discoloration. The high expec ationa of the early season was first reduced by early droughts and later by more or less continuous rains from North Carolina to Eastern Texas. In the more southern districts there is some complaint of the boll worm, with little mention of the eitarpillar. The effective ness of insecticide, when persistently ap plied, is frequently attested. YIELD OF THE CEREAL CROPS. The October estimates of the yield per acre for the entire breadth of cereal crops, as cons lidated by the department of agri culture, are: Winter wheat 10.8 bushels per acre, spring wheat 11.5, total wheat crop 11.1, oats 19.8, barley 21, rye 11.8 bushels. The condition of corn is 70.6, instead of 70.1, as last month; of buckwheat 90.7, instead of 90.5; potatoes 61.7, instead of 05.7; tobacco 85.4, instead of 82A There is practically no change in the general average condition, except a reduction of four points in potatoes and au increase of three points in tobacco. The effect of winter frosts upon wheat is shown by the low rate of yield to have been seve- e. The figure would have been lower but for the reduction of area by plowing aud planting of the worst fields in other crops. HIGHER RATES OF YIELD. Some of the higher rates in principal states are: New York 15.2, Pennsylvania 12, Ohio 12.5, Michigan 15.2, Illinois 11.5, Missouri 11.3, Kansas 13.5, California 12, Oregon 15. The crop made a very low yield throughout the south, where the acreage is small in the Ohio Valley the variation in yield. In different counties, as on farms in the same county, has an extra ordinary range, from five to twenty-five bushels, and in extreme cases from one to thirty bushels. One couuty in Illi nois claims “the best crop in years,” and another “a poorer crop than was expected." Soil iu good condition t: at had thorough tillage, made the best yields. Rocky Mountain areas made high averages in spring wheat on limited areas. The Da kota yleids varied from a bushel or two to twentv-flve bushels, making an average of nine bushels per acre. Minnesota returns 12 and Wisconsin 12.5 bushels. The estimated yield of oats is 19.8 bushels, whioh is the lowest ever reported, probably reducing the aggregate product more than 200,000,000 bushels. returns of the Census. Washington, Oct. 10.— The census bu reau to-day announced the following popu lations: Little Rock, Ark., 22,496, an increase of 9,358; per oent 71.23. Baton Rouge, La., 10,397, iucrease 3,200; per cent 44.46. New Orleans, La., 241,995, inorease 25,905; per cent 11.99. Knoxville, Tenn., 22,447, increase 12,754; per cent 131.58. The state of New York 5,981,934, increase of 899,083; per cent 17.69. Yesterday’s Bilver Purchases. Washington, Oct. 10.—The amount of silver offered for t*ie to the treasury de partment to-day wl 843,000 ounces. The amount purchased was 300,000 ounces, as follows; 100,000 at $llO7O, 100,000 at SI.IOBO, 100,000 at $1.1090. Turned over to a Rec dver. Indianapolis, Oct 10.— The Indianapolis Car and Manufacturing Company, a con cern employing 800 hands, was 'placed in the hands of a receiver this afternoon by Judge Taylor. Matthew Henning was named as receiver. John Voorhees, pur chasing agent of the company, claims that it is insolvent, having debts amounting to $65,000. Col. Charles Millard, president of the company, thinks the receiver will he able to co 4 time the business. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1890. JUSTICE MILLER DYING. STRICKBN WITH PARALYSIS ON HIS WAY FROM THH CAPITOL. Taken Home and Given Prompt At tention—Serious Results at First Not Apprehended, But an Unfavorable Turn Taken Hardly Expected to Live Through To-Day Manifesta tions of Sympathy. Washington, Oct. 10.-Justice Samuel F. Miller of the supreme court of the United State* was stricken with partial paralysis of the left side this afternoon about 3 o’clock, while on his way home from the capital, and is now resting quietly at his home ou Massachusetts avenue, with no serious result anticipated by his family. Justioe Miller’s mind is perfectly clear, and he has never been for an instant speechless since he was stricken, conversing frequently with his wife and the attendants, and, to observers, seems to be giving himself littlo concern about his condition. He re cited in detail to Mrs. Miller and his son Irving all the incidents of his visit to the capital and his return home, laughing and joking with them all the while and tellicg them not to feel badly over his attack. THH ATTACK. The Tjudge was stricken near his home. John Y\ oodford, his servant, was standing in the door at the time and saw him fall He immediately ran to his ES9istance, and, with the help of some bystanders, raised the judge to his feet, and helping him into a cab soon conveyed him to his house. Dr. Cook, who lives two doors away, was called In. aid Dr. Lincoln sent for and administered some slight restora tives, and after an examination found a partial paralysis of the left side from the arm down. The numbness in the arm has now disappeared, and if no further compli cations arise the physicians do not antici pate a fatal result. Drs. Cook and Lincoln wore in attendance some time, and after they left the justice called for his dinner and ate it with apparent relish, after whioh he slept quietly. VISITED BY BROTHER JUSTICES. The house was besieged with callers during the evening. Justice Blatchford, who ar rived from New York on the4o’olock train, being the first caller. He was soon followed by Chief Justioe Fuller aud all the associate justices on the bench, exoept Justices Field and Bradley, who are absent. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Irving Miller are in constant attend ance on the judge, and numerous telegrams have been teoeived inquiring as to his con dition. HIS CONDITION LESS FAVORABLE. Washington, Oct. 10, 11 p. m.—Dr. Lincoln h;s just left Justice Miller. He says the justice’s condition is not nearly so favorable as two hours ago, and that the case is now very serious. Thejustice is still rational, but his mind is less bright. Some feeling still remains in the paralyzed left side, but he is unable to move. MAY DIE TO-DAY. Washington, Oct. 10, midnight.—Jus tioo Miller’s oondition is so critical that his physicians expect that he will sink in the morning and that he can hardly live an other cay. He has had a hemorrhage of the brain, and another attack would be fatal. His mind is evidently effected, though he is still coherent in talking. FOREIGN MINERS. Closing Besslon of the Institute Held at Carnegie Hall Yesterday. Pittsburg, Oct. 10.—The reception at the Duquesne Club last night kept the dele gates to the International Mining Institu:e up so late that they were slow in arrive g at Carnegie hall, and it was considerably after 10 o’clock when the final session was called to order by President Kilson. The following papers were read, after which the institute adjourned: “The progress of German practice in metallurgy in iron aud steel since 1876, with special reference to the basic process,” by Dr. Her man Wedding, Berlin; “International standards for iron and steel,” by Prof. John W. Langley, Pittsburg; "Relation of the geology of the United States to its mineral resources,” by Dr. F. Storey Hunt, New York; “Transportation as au element in iron and steel manufacture,” by W. P. Shinn, president of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Pittsburg. This afternoon the entire party boarded the steamer Mayflower aud were taken up the Monongaheia river as tar as the Edgar Thomson Steel Works and the Homestead plant of Carnegie, Phipps & Cos. The party was in charge of Andrew Carnegie, who piloted them through the extensive plant, Ou their return to-night they were treated to a natural gas display at Hays station by the Philadelphia Gas Company. A CHURCH SPLIT MENDED. Northern and Southern Factions of the Christian Church Reunited. Chicago, Oct. 10. —A dispatch from Marion, Ind., Bays: “At the session of the Christian conference yesterday the southern wing of the church, which seceded at the Cincinnati convention, held in 1854, was i estored, the oondition of the return of the southern people having been agreed to. An informal and hearty greeting was extended to the returning brethren, while the con gregation sang “Blest be the tie that binds.” A touching feature of this part of the exer cise was the introduction to the convention of Mrs. Dr. Summerbell, widow of one of the pioneers of the church, who was the first president of its first oollege. Mrs. Summer bell in her feeble way welcomed the south ern delegates baok to the fold and assured them of t-he sympathy aud hearty good will of the north. There was scarcely a dry eye in the house when this, the only survivor of the convention of 1854, took her seat. Dr- H. J. Duck worth, president of the general counoil of Christian union, declared that his sect was rapidly merging itself with the Christian church, and that hereafter his time and talents should be devoted to it. PRESBYTERIAN REVISION. Work of the Committee Progressing Satisfactorily. Pittsburg, Oct. 10.—The work of the committee on revision of the Presbyterian confession of faith ls progressing satisfac torily. To-day the discussion was on the eight and ninth chapters of the work. The sixth and seventh chap ters, considered yesterday, are considered the most important, and most of the re maining work can be passed over rapidlv. One of the divines sail to-day that the reason t-ey were taking the matter so slowly was that the old confession of faith had stood for 250 years, and they want the new one to stand as good a test. The changes made are not at ail radical. Death of the Oldest G. A. B. Veteran. Mount Pleasant, la., Oct 10.—Capt. Peter Foster, tho oldest member of the Grand Army of the Republic iu the United States, died here last night. He was 96 years of age and fought in the war of 1812, Mexican and civil wars. VISITBD THH BA.TTL3FIKLDS. The Count of Parts and Party View Bor mar Scenes of War. Richmond, Va.. Oct. 10.— This morning at 9 o'clock the Count of Paris and party left Richmond under the escort of Col. An derson, Capt. Haxall and Capt, Biuford for a visit to the battlefields of Meehaniovville, Gaines Milts, Cold Harbor and Seven Pines. The entire party, except Count de Hausioa ville and Capt Morehair, used saddle horses and do not expect to return to Richmond until about 6 o’olook. The day was bright and fair, and, rl though somewhat warm, was decidedly favorable for the occasion. The narty pro ceeded through the streets of Richmond, making quite a picturesque cavalcade to Mechanicsvilie turnpike, thence to Me chanicsville. stopping en route at a bluff, affording a line view ot Chickahoraiuy swamp. Another stop was male at Mechanicsvilie, where the party alighted and walked into tho oomfh-ld and surveyed the positions of the opposing armies just previous to the battle of Ellison’s mills. The oouut was provided with a large map and powerful Held glasses, and spent some time in familiarizing himself with the lay of the land, in which he was aided materi illv by tne Richmond contingent of the party, ail of whom fought on the confederate side during the battles, in which count served as a staff officer in the union army. STRAYED FROM THE ROAD. The party proceeded to Allison’s mills, passing Walnut church, which was formerly used as a confederate hospital, and thence to Gaines Mills, with which so many inei dents of Gen. McClellan’s campaign arc connected. By a serious mistake on the part of Col. Anderson and Capt. Hall the Count of Paris and all the other horsemen strayed out of their road and missed the visit made by the rest of the party to Dr. Cus ter’s bouse, where Gen. McClellan h-id his headquarters until the battle of Ellison's mills. The count was rather disappointed at missing this point, but bore it good naturedly and said he would be more oare ful in the future. It was about 12 o’olock when the party reached Gaines Mills, and it was decided to stop there for lunch. Some servants from the hotel fixed up an impromptu table with planks under a syca more tree within a few feet of the site of the old mill, which was burned by Gen. Sheri dan later hi the war, and of which only the walls remains. The Duo d’Orleans photographed the entire group, with the old mill as a back ground. A FAMILIAR SPOT. New Cold Harbor was then visltod.and not withstanding the great changes that have occurred in the character of the country since the war, the count recognized it instantly as a familiar spot and pointed out tho clearing a short distance from the main road, where he said Gen. Longstreet’s corps had come upon them unexpectedly and captured thirty field pieces. Soon after nearly 2,000 union soldiers were buried. It is a very pretty place and in excellent con dition. The count and the Duo d’Orleaus alighted here and went into tho keeper’s lodge, whore they were received by Supt. Savage and shown over the grounds. They then joined the party at Old Cold Harbor, once the scene of so much bloodshed. The count remarked that the place was very much altered, but that he was able to identify McCiellau’s movements hereabouts with the aid of the map he carried, and he recalled the plaoo where Gen. McClellan's right was posted during the battle of Gaines Mills. HISTORIC PLACES. A detour was here made and the party proceeded across the fields in toe rear of McCiellau’s line of battle to the road lead ing to the dispatch station, where a halt was called to inspect the grapevine bridge on McGee’s farm, used in the retreat of the union forces. Then a visit was made to the historical Watts house, iu the rear of Boat swain swamu, where McClellan had formed three lines of defense. The count said this place was perfectly familiar to him, and ho pointed out the spot where the Philadelphia Lanoers sustained snch heavy loss from Gen. Stuart’s charge. He also pointed out the creek where he nearly lost bis own life. He was sent to tho main army by Ge:>. Porter with special dispatches and fire was opened on him in all directions as he crossed the field near the confederate lines. “It was a pretty close shave,” the count remarked. The party then followed t le line of MoOlellau's march to Dr. Gaines’ house, several iriles farther on, wtiere the count recalled experiments with balloons for observation purposes. A visit was made to Tinsley’s farm, for the purpose of viewing the scenes oi Longstreet’s opera tions near tho Hogan house and the old Golden farm. Gen. Porter’s head quarters was the last place visited and the party then proceeded by way of the Creighton road to Richmond, reaching there in good condition about 6 p. m., having in the meantime traveled nearly t irty miles through plowed fields, soft meadow lands, dense woods and rough roads. The entire party, especially toe count, showed themselves to be excellent horsemen. ATTENDED A RECEPTION. After supper at toe hotel the party at tended a reception given in their honor by CoL Anderson at his fine residence on West Franklin street. Among those invited were Gov. arid Mrs. McKinnev, Mr. and Mrs. Hax all, Mr. and Mrs. Wertheney, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Archer Mr. and Mrs. Carmichael, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Anderson, Dr. Hoge, Dr. anil Mrs. R ass, Col. and Mrs. Hobson, Mr. and Mrs. Beddon Bruce, Mrs. J. F. T. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Buford, Gen. and Mrs. P. Wise, aud Hon. George W ise. The oount and party will to-morrow visit the battlefields of Fair Oaks or Heven Pines. LINCOLN’S KENTUCKY CABIN To Be Taken to Chicago and Exhibited at the World’s Fair. Nashville, Tenn., Oct 10.— A special to the American from Danville, Ky., says: A committee from Chicago, In the interest of the world’s fair, visited Washington county, near here, this week, and bought of Henry Reed the log cabin In which Abra ham Lincoln lived as a boy and where his father was married to Nancy Hanks, a cer tificate being preserved there yet in the cou ty clerk’s office.

Thslr Bonds Estreated and Warrants for Their Arrest Issued -No Cer tainty About Their Movements- Rnmored That They Embarked from Waterford for America by Way of Havre Detectlvee Out witted. Dublin, Oct. 10.—The case of the crown against William O’Brien and John Dil lon, obarged with conspiracy and inciting tenants not to pay rents, was again called in the magistrates oourt at Tipperary this morning. Meair* O'Brieu and Dillon have hitherto been present at all bearings, but this miming when the court opened they did not pat in an op pearanoo. Both defendants are members of the committee appointed at a conference of the Irish nationalists held in Dublin last Friday to visit America for tho purpose of soliciting aid for tho nationalist cause, and toe rumor is current that they hod forfeited their bail of £I,OOO eaoh, in the conspiracy case and thut they sailed yesterday from (Jueeustown for the Uniied States. THE RUMOR CONFIRMED. Much excitement prevailed in Tipperary when it became known th it Messrs. O’Brien and Dillon had abandoned their defense and left the place. Though there is confirma tion of the rumor that they had left the country, there is no confirmation, however, that they have sailed for America. In formation thus far received shows that they did not leave by the ordinary channels of passage. Their bail will be ostreated and will be paid by the national league. All the other defendants who are jointly charged with conspiracy with Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien were present in oourt. Mr. Ronan, prosecutor for the crown, an nounced the absence of Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien, aud asked the oourt to append to their bail bonds, tho usual certificate of nou appearance. CHANGES IN THE CHARGES. Mr. Healy of counsel for the defendants submitted an argument that the sureties on the ball bond had fulfilled their obligation when Messrs. O’Brien and Dillon appearod in court on the first trial. The orowu, he said, had subsequently amended the par ticulars of the charges, and therefore the bail given for defendants no longer held good. After listening to the argument on this point the oourt announoed that in its opinion the ohargos against the defendants, although they had been amended by tho crown, were substantially the same. It therefore granted Mr. Honan's request, and the court's certificate of non-appearance was attachod to tho bail bonds of Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien. Adjournment was then taken to enable tho crown to consider what stein should tie taken. Warrants wero issued for the arrest of Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien. WILL SAIL FROM HAVRE. London, Oct 10. - Mr. O’Connor’s paper, the Star, says that Dillon and O’Brien went to Waterford, and from there to Havre on Wednesday, and they proceed from th* latter port to New York. LONDON PRESS COMMENT. London, Oct. 10.—The Post, in an edito rial on the fight of Messrs.
