cans Very Cordial.
Ban Antonio, Tex., April 20.—The
presidential party arrived here at 0 o’clock
this morning, promptly on time. For the
first time since their departure from Wash-
Ington they were welcomed in a heavy rain
storm. The reception was most enthusias
tic, but under the circumstances the effect
of the liberal street decorations
was spoiled by tho steady downpour,
which necessitated the abandonment of all
of the outdoor ceremonies. The reception
committee Included Gen. Stanley, Repre
sentative Crain, Mayor Callahan, citizens
and a number of ladies. The President was
received with a military salute of twenty
one guns, and on leaving the train was
escorted through a line composed of Grand
Army men and confederate veterans.
AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
The party were then taken in carriages
to the Grand Opera house, which was
beautifully decorated for the occasion. Ad
dresses of welcome were made by Gov.
Hogg and Mayor Callahan, and responded
to by the President, Secretary Rusk and
Postmaster General Wanamaker. The Presi
•dent then held a publio reception, which
was largoiy attended. A 6hort visit was
afterward made to the military post at
Fort Bam Houston, where the party were
entertained by Gen. Stanley and staff.
Tho presidential party left here at 12 o’clock
for El Paso, amid the cheers of an enthusi
astic crowd. The feature of the reception

Mexico’s representatives.
Washington, April 20. —The collector of
customs at El Paso, Tex., has been in
structed by the treasury department to per
mit the entry into the United States at that
place to-morrow of the governor of
Chihuahua and his staff, bearing side arms

chihuahua’s governor at el paso.
El Paso, Tex., April 20. — Gov. Carilla
of Chihuahua, Mexico, arrived to-day, ac
companied by his staff, to participate in the
reception to be tendered Presiden t Harrison.
The governor’s staff numbers twenty-five
officers. He turned over to Mayor Caples
rf El Paso the Eleventh Battalion Band of
Mexico, consisting of forty-five instruments,
to participate as ordered by the mayor in
the reception. The city is rapidly filling up
with people from Now Mexico, Arizona and
old Mexico.
ENGLISH COMMENT ON THE TRIP.
London, April 20. —Tho Standard says
that President Harrison’s utterances have
the “Rule Britannia” air which betray his
parentage, and are by no means unpleasant
to the English oar, but that they are a con
fession of failure. At the last elections home
firotection was all sufficient for the repub
ieans, but now foreign markets must be
opened.
In regard to the recent utterances of Presi
dent Harrison, the Telegraph says: We
heartily welcome an American rivalry that
will enable us to see them and go them one
better. The relati ms between England and
America have been so preeminently cordial
that we are almost justified in treating the
proposed fleet as an auxiliary to our own,
to which we should be able to depute the
task of patrolling the Atlantic to protect
a’.l English-speaking commerce in the event
of war with any European power.
REOPENING NAVY YARDa
Those at Boston and League Island to
Be Used Again.
Washington, April 20. —Under author

the Ossipee, when she was docked prepara
tory to her voynge to Cuina.
Bids have been opened for the furnish ing
of tools for the Boston and Philadelphia
yards, but the contracts have not yet beau
awarded. Naval Constructor Mintoyne has
been ordered to duty at Boston to superin
tend the assemblage of the plant, and it may
be that some carpentering repairs can be
made on vessels this summer.

retary of State.
Washington, April 20. —It is reported
that James G. Blaine, Jr., having had two
years' experience as clerk of the House com
mittee on foreign affairs, at a salary of
$2,500 a yoar, will complete his studies in
diplomacy at Paris and London, and after
his return to this country will be a candi
date for Third Assistant Secretary of State,
wnen Mr. Moore retires to his professorship

December, ha will need anew office badly.
It. remains to be seen whether bis father
can get this for him.

States supreme oourt, on motion of Solicitor
General Taft, to-day postponed for one
week argument in the case of the schooner
Sayward, involving the question of tho
jurisdiction of the United States over the
Bering sea seal fisheries, and also
in the case of the proprietors of
the New Orleans States and the
Mobile Hegister, involving the validity
of the anti-lottery act, making it a penal
offense to circulate through the mails news
papers containing lottery advertisements.
In making the motion the solicitor general
said that the rules were returnable t-day;

take part in the argument of both questions,
but he had been tick for more than ten
davs.
Calderon Carlisle, representing the Brit
ish government, said he would not oppose
the motion, but called attention to
the fact that his side had been prepared
since last Monday, when the case was first
postponed. Chief Justice Fuller said the
return day had, of course, lieeu made to
suit tho convenience of the counsel.
Under the circumstance*, and also
in view of the illness of
Justice Bradley, who, though steadily im
proving in health, would hardly bs on the
bench this week, the court wo ild hoar the
cases next Monday if Justice Bradley were
present. The solicitor general said he had
authority from the Attorney General to say
that the argument would go on for the
government next Monday, whether or not
the Attorney General was present.
The court to-day announced that it would
call no case* for argument after May 1
next. The court will in a few days there
after take a two weeks’ recess and then ad
journ for tho term.

A FLIGHT OF JAIL BIRDS.
Escape of S3ven Prisoners Con
demned to Death In the Creek Nation.
Eufaula, I. TANARUS., April 20.—News has
just been received here that the execution
of Ross Reilly, Jeff Brown, Douglass
Brown, Cudge Barnett, Paro Johnson,
Lake Andy and Prince Hawkius, in the
western portion of Wewaka district
of the Creek nation, which was
set for tc-day, has been frustrated by the
escape of tho prisoners. There was a body
of light horsemen guarding those men, and
Friday evening about 5 o’clock they went
out to the stable, and all but one guard, a
negro, the only one among the guards, went
into the stable to look after tho horses.
THE ESCAPE.
Taking advantage of the opportunity,
purposely given them, one of the prisoners
made a break for liberty, and while the
guard was attempting to capture him the
balance escaped. They were all unshack
eled and unincumbered in their flight, and
only one of the guards shot at
them as they left. Three of them,
Jeff Brown, Prince Hawkins, and Paro
Johnson were recaptured, but they were
the three that it was supposed would be
pardoned by the chief. They were taken
before the district judge Saturday and
there found that their pardons awaited
them. Those at large are still under sen
tence of death.
POLITICS OF THE ALLIANCE.
Dumbauld Replies to the Threat of
McGrath.
Topeka, Kan., April 20.—Levi Dum
bauld, chairman of the farmers’ alliance
state central committee, has issued an ad
dress to the people in reply to that recently
issued by Frank McGrath, president of
the state farmers’ alliance, who claimed
that unless the farmers of the
south deserted the Democratic party the
farmers of the north would go to the Re
publican party. Mr. Dumbauld denied Mr.
McGrath’s statement and adds: “The
people’s party in Kansas is in the field to
stay and has no intention, under any circum
stances, of abandoning the third party
movement and returning to the old party
lines. It is solidly in favor of
the overthrow of both of the old
parties without any ifs and buts,
and its delegates will go to the Cincinnati
convention of May 19 for the purpose of
assisting to organize the third party na
tional campaign of 1892, ready to clasp
hands with all who will join that move
ment for the anticipation of the laboring
classes. Hesitate or halt, who may, the
people’s movement must go marching on
to the final victory. Lot none lose faith or
falter. Forward en masse over all oppo
sition.
A BIG STRIKE FEARED.
The Railroads Dependent on lowa
Fields Laying in a big Supply of Coal.
Chicago, April 20. —A special from
Ottumwa, In., says: “It has leaked out here
through a Burlington official that the road
has been Quietly for the last three weeks
utilizing all the coal cars and box cars
possible for the purpose of hauling and stor
ing an unusual supply of coal for the coming
summer. The company has positive udvices,
he said, that the miners in this section, in
common with all the other miners of the
United States, will|go out May 1, deter
mined that the operators shall accede to
their demands. The Milwaukee road has
been pursuing the same policy, which adds
additional color to the report.
SOME MEN ALREADY OUT.
“At Chisholm and Avery the miners are
out, and at Flagler they demand an increase
of 5 and 7 cents a bushel for the summer
scale, declaring that they will quit work if
their demands are not acceded to. The
representatives of the miners say they will
not strike May I in common with their
| eastern brethern, as that would preclude
their rendering the assistance needed while
the latter are out of employment, but the
operators regard this as a blind to give the
miners greater opportunity to make the
strike here more certain and effective.
“If a strike is inaugurated it will affect
over 8,000 men and their families, and will
seriously curtail the output of coal, which
is over 4,000,000 bushels annually in the
lowa coal fields.”
Eight Indictments Against Grymes.
Richmond, Va., April 20.—The grand
jury toniay brought in eight indictments

STRIKERS FIRING BOMBS.
THE LEISINRING PLANT SUR
ROUND iD BY A MOB.
Firing of Guns, Blowing of Horns and
Beating of Cans Continued All
Night lnjunctions fwern Out
Against the Leaders of tha Rioters—
The coroner’s Jury Still at Work.
Bcottdale, Pa., April 20.—Rioting by
the strikers continues in the coke regions.
The Leisinring No. 2 plant, of the Frick
Coke Company, has been kept in an uproar
continuously since Saturday night. The
works are surrounded by a mob day and
night. Explosions of bombs, firing of guns,
blowing of horns and beating of cansoan be
heard at all hours.
thd whole community dazed.
The whole community seems to be dazed,
and no one knows what moment the worst
may come. The coke companies have sworn
out injunctions against thirty-three of the
leaders, and also instituted criminal charges
against them. The injunction papers and
warrants have been placed in the hands of
the sheriff and constables, but they claim
to be powerless to serve them without the
assistance of the troops.
the INJUCIION SUITS.
Injunction suits instituted against forty
strikers by Schoomnaker & Cos. came up
this morning, but were postponed until the
June term of court at the request of the de
fendants, who were not ready. The same
course will be pursued in the Rainey in
junction cases,which come up in the United
States court at Pittsburg to-day.
THE CORONER’S JURY’S WORK.
Tho coroner’s jury assembled at Mount
Pleasant at 1 o’clook this afternoon to con
sider the evidence in the More wood investi
gation. At 2 o'clock the jury annouuced
its verdict ns follows: "That the deceased
came to his death at Morewood on Thurs
day morning, April 2, 1891, about 3 o’clock,
by a bullet discharged from a gun or re
volver in the hands of the dep ities of the
sheriff of Westmoreland county.” This ap
plies to each man killed in the riot.
NO EVICTIONS AT MOREWOOD.
There were no evictions at Morewood to
day owing to a legal hitch, tho notices hav
ing been dated Sunday. It is probable the
strikers will leave their houses quietly. The
company reports 104 men at work at More
wood to-day. Painter’s plant is running
full. A largo mass meeting is in progress
near Mount Pleasant this afternoon, but
everything is qutet.
A DAY OK EXCITEMENT.
To-day was prolifio of excitement and
small riots throughout the region. The
women generally are leading, and are most
bitter in their attacks upon the deputies.
Heretofore tney have been silent, but when
the evictors attacked their homes, the for
eign women especially were driven
wild. During several squaViblos to-day a
couple of deputies were struck with stos.es,
and one wa< cut on tho arm while pushing
his way through the crowd. But few evic
tions wore made, as the sheriff evidently
feared opposition and is gathering larger
lorces of deputies. In anticipation of
trouble, when the evictions and arrest3 are
made at Leisinring to-morrow, the force of
deputies is being largely increased.
TROUBLE POSSIBLE AT ADELAIDE.
There are also fears of trouble at Ade
laide, where a number of eviction notices
will also expire to-morrow. There is a re
port in circulation this evening that Pink
erton deteotives will be imported into the
region and stationed at the works, where
efforts are being made to resume. Master
Workman Wise is at Whitney to-nigbt
to give passage to a number of
imported Italians who are desirous of leav
ing that point. But little of consequence
wasdonoattbe Whitney plants this after
noon, owing to the raiding of the company’s
forces by the strikers. Tho labor leaders do
not have much to say about the coroner’s
verdict on the Morewood occurrence, which
was rendered this afternoon.
ARRESTED ON BERIOUS CHARGES.
John MoSloy. worthy foreman of the
United Mine Workers, had Supt. J. A.
Es-er of the Leisinring plant, aud three
subordinates arrested on charges of con
spiraoy, shooting with intent to kill and as

A TRAIN INVADED.
Uniontown, Pa., April 20.—Deputy
Crawford went to Leisinring No. 2 to-day
to serve injunction papers on thirty-two of
the strikers engaged in the riot there on
Saturday morning. Closely in his wake
came Constable Chick to arrest the rioters.
Twenty-six of the latter were
arrested and taken on board the
train by the constable, when their wives
and the wives of other s'.rikers, to
the number off rty or fifty, poured into
the two coaohes and took possession. Toe
women refusod to pay their fare, and they
refused to get off. and the train men. after
making a number of ineffectual efforts to
unload them, finally ran the train on a side
track, cut off the coachos, prisoners and all,
and came on aa engine to Vance’s Mills
junction and reported tho situa
tion to tho railroad headquarters.
The engineer brought the engine to
Uniontown with Constable Chick and three
of his prisoners aboard. Nothing had been
heard of the train load left behind. Late
to-night a telephone message was sent from
Lemonte to Leisinring No. 2, notifying the
deputies aid the company officials there
that 250 strikers had just left Lemonte for
Leisinring, and a riot is imminent. Adjt.
Gen. MoClelland this afternoon telegraphed
to Gov. Pattison: “No news is good news,”
implying there was as yet no necessity for
troops.

Had a Dispute
Little Rock. Ark., April 20.—News of
the murder of Wiley Whittington, a
wealthy planter living across the lino from
Columbia county, Arkansas, In Louisiana,
has just readied here. Mr. Whittington
came over into this state to see a negro
named Hus',Frazier. He was on horseback,
and carried a shotgun. Frazier met him in
front of his house, and, after some sharp
words, started away, apparently to get a
gun. Whittington told him to halt, when
the negro rushed at Whittington, seized tho
gun ho was carrying and wrenched it from
nearly dragging him from his
horse. Frazier fired hot a barrels at him,
the contents almost teariug his
head from his body. Two female
relatives of Mr. Whittington cried murder
and begged Frazier to let them have the
body, but he said he would kill them also if
they touched it. Arming himself with his
own gun and that of tho murdered man,
Frazier disappeared in the woods. A posse
is after him. and lynching will probably fol
low his capture.

Italy’s Complaint of Delay Thrown
Back at Her.
Paris, April 20.— Baron Fava, the Italian
minister at Washington, who rocently left
the Lmited States on a leave of absence,
has arrived here on his way to Roma The
Solel declares that the baron is much an
noyed at tho action of the United State* in
regard to the Now Orleans affair. Accord
ing to that paper Baron Fava, while on his
way across the Atlantic, assured bis fellow
passengers that the Marquis Imperlall.
i harge d’affaires at. Washington, would tie
recalled to Italy. The baton is said to have
added that Italy would not have a diplo
matic representative at Washington until
the New Orleans affair was settled.
ROMAN PAPERS COMPLAINING.
Rome, April 20.—Tho newspapers of this
city are oomplaining bitterly of what they
term the "leisurely manner'' of Secretary
lilame iu reply ing to the communications of
the Italian government relative the New
Orleans affair. They seem to forgot in
Italy that using the usual means of com
munication between the governments,
it takes three weeks for Italy
and tho United States to exchange
communications. They also seem to forget
that the United States has just ns good
grounds for complaint against tho Itnl.ua
government as the papers claim the latter
bus against the American Heoretary of
State lake, for instance, the case of the
Italian Salvatore Paladma. The American
government demanded that this offender
against the laws of the United States,
who had fled to Italy, be ex
tradited to stand trial upon a
ohargo of counterfeiting. The Italian gov
ernment, two weeks after tho receipt of
this demand, nskisl the American legation
hero what citizenship l’aladina claimed,
whether American or Italian. In response
to this quostion, tho American legation
stated on the sumo day that the request for
information was received that i’uladina
claimed t > bo an Italian subject.
NOT HEARD FROM IN TWO MONTHS.
This was the last heard of the matter for
two months, when, in answer to tho United
States government’s reouest for the extra
dition of Paladiua, the Italian government
stated that tho constitution and laws of
Italy did not allow for tho carrying out of
tho treaty existing between Italy and tho
United .Statej, so far as the extradition
of Italians was concerned. Italy
again took this position relative to the
Italian constitution ami laws when the
United Btates subsequently demanded the
extradition of two Italians who were impli
cated listhe murder of Paymaster McClure
and Hugh Flanagan, near Wilkeebarro,
Pa., wh > were killed and robbed of money
which tho paymaster had to pay laborers,
and for which crime a third Italian
was convicted and executed by the Penn
sylvanian authorities. His two accomplices
made their escape from the United States
and returned to Italy, but the Italian gov
ernment refused to surrender them for trial,
basing its refusal ou the ground that it
would be extra -constitutional to surrender
Italian subjects for trial in a foreigu coun
try.
NOT BELIEVED AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, April 20. Baron Fava’s
alleged strteinsnt in Paris, that the Marquis
lmperiall and the rest of the Italian lega
tion would bi withdrawn from Washington,
is not credited here. It is believed either
that Baron Fava did not state it as a cer
tainty, aud that if he did be was talking

Rudini’s last speech. No more hostile dem
onstration* from Premier Itudini are looked
for here. Miuistor Porter cables that Pre
mier KudinYs temper seems now to be ns

retary Blaine said before he left: “I think
wo shall get very little more Impertinence
from the Marquis dl Itudini.”
HARRISON’S JEALOUSY.
Russell Harrison’s statement in his weekly
paper that the President and not the Sec
retary of State is entitled to the credit for
the Italian correspondence is only a little
more trank than olher inspired paragraphs
published less conspicuously in the
Harrison newspaper. They aro justi
fied by the fact that the President deliber
ately rejected the first draft of tho com
munications proposed by Secretary Blaine,
and required the latter to act as his
amanuensis by preparing substitutes at his
dictation. In tho caso of the latest com
munication to i’remier Rudinl, a week’s
delay was eaus-d by this course, whioh was
necessary of course, if President Harrison
was to have credit for the transaction.

than tie bad anticipated, whioh has resulted
iu delaying hi* report. Theie particulars
refer to the nationality of the men. He has

MINERS IN A SHAFT.
An Accident to the Cars Makes Them
Prisoners.
London, April 20.—A serious accident,
by which lives of 200 miners were imper
iled, has taken place near Longton, Staf
fordshire. Two large cages or cars aro
used for hoisting and lowering the men and
materials in the colliery in the Longton
coal district. While one of them was being
hoisted and another lowered they came
into a violent collision and were smashed to
pieces. The resuit of this smash-up was
that the snaft was badly damaged and
choked up with debris, thus outting off
communication with 200 miners, whom the
accident imprisoned in the mine below.
PRISONERS FOR FOURTEEN'HOURS.
For fourteen hours the miners were shut
tip in the mine. This was a period of ter
rible suspense for their families and friends,
who crowded about the pit’s mouth in a
state of greit agitation and distress. Event
ually a small hole was pierced through the
inass of wreckage clogging the shaft and
food was lowered by means of a rope to the
imprisoned miner*. Further work upon
the passage through which food and sup
plies were passed enabled the men engaged
in the work of rescue to haul the 200 minors
one by one out of the mine.

ing, while outside numerous groups
of people in excited discussion awaited
the verdict. Wbilo the judge was

ringing voice, cried: "My lord, l claim a
hearing. 1 cannot stand hero and listed to

but she remained standing. The judge
Vaused, and Mr. Fischer advanced to Mrs.
lurtburt and whispered to her and persuad
ed her to leave Without further remarks.

and accompanied her out. Tho
summing up lasted four hours. Sir Richard
Webster explained that Mrs. Hurlburt had
arrivt-d from l’nris and was extremely
anxious to give her evidence in the case.
He had advised her this could not be done
at the stage which tho case had then reachod,
and that, whatever might be the result of
tho case, further proceedings must he taken
elsewhere. The jury were absent for an
hour and a half.

exhibition of tho I'urnellite strength of

tree and the Duty on Te to b3 Re
ducad—ln Rstur.i We Will Obtain
Exemption on Raw and Manufact
ured Products and Lower Duties on
cereals and Flour.
Madrid, April 20. —The reciprocity con
vention between Hpain and the United
States, as drafted by Promier Ganovas del
Castillo, representing Spain, and Gen. J. W.
Foster representing the United States, is
based, as far as the United States is con
cerned, upon the third or reciprocity section
of the new American tariff law. In return
for the privilege of free entry iuto tha
United States of Antilles sugar, molasses,
coffee and hides, ami the reduction of the
duty on tea, America will obtain exemption
from duties on most of her raw aud
manufactured products, and a reduction of
the tariff on cereals aud Hour. The nego
tiations were protracted upon the question
of the entire abolition of the tariff on
cereals, flours and oils, including petroleum
and lard. The same question iu regard to
bacoowas also raised, but, not coming
within tho scope of tho third section of tho
American tariff law, was sot aside.
THE PREMIER’S LONG FIGHT.
Premier Ganovas offered a protracted re
sistance to the abolition of the tariff on
flour. Barcelona and Santander traders,
who are largely interested in flour ship
ments, presented an energetic) protest, which
fortified the minister in his imilßpoaUion to
aooeco to tho American propositions.
Eventually representations that American
reciprocity would bo impossible without the
free odmissiou of American cereals in
duced Promier Ganovas to assent ta
such a reduction of tho tariff os will place
American Hour upon nearly an equal foot
ing with Spanish flour. Santander mer
chants declare t.nat, taking iuto considera
tion the cost of transportation of Castile
gram, of which the bulk goes to the Antilles,
American flour will crush out the Spanish
produot iu the Spanish West Indies.
CUBA’S CONSUMPTION.
Cuba now consumes 500,000 barrels of
flour yearly—chiefly (Spanish, which enters
freo of dnty, and pays for it ft'J per barrel.
Trade iu American flour, burdened with an
extra duty of 30 per cent, since 1883, has
been completely wiped out to tne advant
age of tbe Spanish produot. Under the new
convention the ontry of American flour
praoticaliy free of duty will lower
the price to about |(i par barrel, anil
will extinguish tbe importation of Spanish
flour, while increasing the Cuban consump
tion to I,OIK),000 barrels yearly, all of which
will be of American product. If pressure
of Hpanish Interests had not been counter
ao.uii by tne demands of the Cuban com
mission of notables, wiio were determined
to obtain reciprocity with the United States,
Premier Canovos would have declined to
make such concessions.
DANGER OF WAR.
The prospect of datige ous tension ol
the relations of Spain witu Cuba aud Porto
Rico, resulting possibly in civil war. obliged
the government to sacrifice homo industries
to colonial interests. Under this new con
vention America will obtain a kind ol
zollvsreln with tho Hpanish Antilles. Her
wheat, beans, flour, lard, petroleum, manu
factured products and machinery will antes
practically free of duty. Among other
Hpanish exports olive oil will be replaoed by
American lard, and beans, now exported tc
Cuba iu large quantities, will cease to be
scut. Tbe advantages resulting to Cuba
will be great, but it is impossible to estimate
the injury to Spanish trade.
