Men Meet the Party at Indio—The
Governor Delivers an Address of
Welcome and the President Replies
Tucson, Ari., April 22.—The special
train bearing the presidential party arrived
at Tutson last night promptly on time. The
principal incident* of the run from El I’aso
were short stops made at Deming, N. M.,
and Bowie, Wilcox and Benson, Ari. The
President was received at each of these
places by a military salute, and was heartily
cheered. The national colors ware oonspio
uous everywhere. The President made a
short speech at Deming. He said:
I feel great interest in your people, and
thinking that you had labored under disad
vantage by reason of the unsettled state of your
titles, because no community can settle up and
become populous while the titles to its land re
mains insecure, it was iny pleasure to urge upon
congress,in both a generai and special message,
the establishment of a special land court to
settle this question once for all. [Cheers ] I
am glad that the statute is now a law,
and immediately upon my return from this
trip i expect to announce the judges of that
court and to set them immediately to work
upon these cases, so t-hat you shall certainly
uii two years have all these questions settled.
I hope you will then see an increase in popula
tion that has not as yet been possible, and
which will tend to develop your great mineral
resources and open up your lands to settle
ment. [Cheers.]
A ROYAL RECEPTION AT TUCSON.
The presidential party had a royal recep
tion at Tucson, which was brilliantly illu
minated. The President made a speech from
the rear platform, and afterward shook
hands with all in reach as the train left for
L. Angeles.
THE ENTRY INTO CALIFORNIA.
Indio, Cal., April 22. —The presidential
party entered the state of California at
FirtYumaat 4:50 o’clock this morning.
The President was presented with a large
quantity of beautiful flowars and fruits.
The entire party was asleep at
toe time, so they did not see
the presentation committee. When the
President’s party reached Indio, at 8:15
o'ciock, it was received by a|large and in
fluential delegation, including Gov. Mark
lmm and staff, ex-Gov. Perkins, Senator
Feitnn, Judge Van Vieot of Sacramento, S.
M. White of Los Angeles, Col. C. F. Crocker,
rice president of the Southern Paeiflo rail
road, and Mr. Stump, chairman of the re
pabiicau committee.
AN ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
Rov. Markham made an address of we!-
come on behalf of all the people of the state.
H- assured tho President that the people of
California fully appreciated the efforts he
had made in order to visit the coast, but
expressed confidence that the distinguished
guest aod party would feel repaid when
they saw the wonderful features so
peculiar to the state. “And, sir,” he con
tinued, “permit me to say that, though
we are hundreds of miles from the national
capital and separated from the people oast
snd south by what may seem endless plains
and impassable mountains, yet we are in
dose sympathy with them in all national
affairs, and are exceedingly proud of the
position we occupy in tho great sisterhood
ot states over whioh you have been called
to preside.”
FEATURES ALONG! THE ROUTE.
The governor outlined the features of the
vari us sactions of the state through which
toe President would pass on his way north
ward, calling attention to the remarkable
development of the natural resources
of those sootions, especially of the
liitheru part of the sta’e, within the
past ten years, and in closing requested
toe President to take particular notice of
too great lack in California of national
public improvements; of the extensive
stippiing interests of the state, and her
freat coast almost defenseless, and almost
without harbors of refuge, except at San
Eiego and San Francisco, either of which
nulii accommodate the commerce of the
®.rld, but located nearly 500 miles apart.
THE PRESIDENT’S REPLY.
The President replying said that he would
bit undertake, while almost choked with
ttie dust of the plains he had just left, to
ay all that he hoped to say in the way of
peasant greetings to the citizens of Cali
fornia. Some time later, when he had
teen refreshed by their olive oil and their
vineyards, he would endeavor to
express his gratification at being able to
v sit California. He had long desired to
visit California, and it was his objective
point on this trip. Ho had seen the north
ern coa.-t, Puget Sound, but had never be
fore been able to see California. He re
membered when a boy the excitement of
t .e discovery of gold, and had always dis
tantly followed California’s growth and
Progress.
great VALUE OF THE STATE.
Th 9 acquisition of California was second
only to that of Louisiana and the control
at tho Mississippi river. It secured us this
R reat coast, aud made impossible the own
tr3hip of a foreign power on any of our
c 18 " line. It has helped to perfect our
magnificent isolation, which is our great
protection against foreign aggression. He
thanked Gov. Markham and the committee
:?r their kindly reception, and assured them
, ‘; 1 ' ■■ he should have complaint to make of
o treatment in California it would be be
cause its people had been too hospitable.

A HEARTY WELCOME AT LOS ANGELES.
Lol Angeles, Cal., April 22.—At no
place visited by President Harrison since
ms departure from Washington ha 9 he been
accorded a heartier and more hospitable
welcome than that at Lee Angeles, at which
p.ace his flower laden car arrived this after
noon promptly on schedule time. As the
train rolled into the station the national
salute was fired, the people cheered lustily
and all the bells and whistles joined in the
acclaim. The city was lavishly decorated
m honor of the distinguished visitor, a
feature being a profusion of bright-hued
flowers. Every available point of vantage
was covered with them, including the car
riages provided for the visitors. Calla lilies
seemed to be the favorite flower, and they
were seen on every side.
OPENED WITH A PARADE.
The ceremouies opened with a street par
ade, in which all the United States troops
and the Grand Army of the Republic and
civic organizations iu this vicinity partici
pated. they escorted the President and
party through the streets, which were
crowded with enthusiastic people. Hundreds
of children lined the sidewalks, and at one
point of the route they showered the
President with flowers as his carriage
pasied slowly by. The parade ended at the
city nail, where a covered platform had
been erected for the public ceremony.
This platform looked like a tropical garden.
On either side, reaching to the roof,
was a tapering -floral column with a
base of evergreeus and calla lilies.
The flag draperies were festooned
from the IB center. The gallery
leading to the stand was faced with great
bunches of callas and peppor branches
alternating with palm leaves. The columns
were concealed by foliage. Red, white and
blue bunting and a myriad of flags added a
touch of brilliancy and patriotism to the
scene.
ADDRESSES OF WELCOME.
Addresses of welcome were made by Gov.
Markham and Mayor Hazard. The Presi
dent, in responding, referred to the red.
white aud blue bunting, saving: “It has a
glorious story on the sea; in those
times when the American navy main
tained our prestige, aud successfully
beat the navies of our great antagonists.
[Prolonged cheering.] iVe are a peace
loving nation, and yet we cannot be sure
that everybody else will be peaceful, and
therefore I am glad that by general conseut
of our people, by liberal appropriations
from congress, we are putting on the sea
some of the vessels of the best class
afloat. [Cheers.] And that we are
now prepared to put upon their decks
as good guns as are made in the world, and
when we havA completed our programme,
ship by ship we will put in their forcastles
as brave “Jack Tars” as serve under our
flag. [Great cheering.] The provident cars
of our government should be given to our
seacoast defenses until ail these great ports
of the Atlantic and Pacific are made safe.”
[Cheers.]

ernor of Lower California, and other for
eign officials participated ia to-day’s cere
monies.
OUR LEW TORPEDO BOAT.
The Government Decides to Prepare
Plans of Its Own.
Washington, April 22.— The Secretary
of the Navy has practically decided to re
ject the bids presented by the Herreschaffs
of Providence and the Cowles Company of
New York, to build a torpedo boat. The
depart nent believes that it can design a
boat more suitable for the naval service
than that contemplated in either of the
bids received. Tnese designs are. in fact,
alrea ly being prepared in the c instruction
bureau for a torpedo boat of 120 tons, and
when they are complete the department will
readvertise for proposals. Opportunity
will, however, be afforded bidders to pre
sent their own plans.
TO TEST THE VESUVIUS.
The Dynam'ta Cruiser Has Never
Shown What She Can Do.
Washington, April 22.— The navy de
partment proposes to determine, as far as
possible, the exact efficiency of the dyna
mite cruiser Vesuvius, which, though ac
cepted a long time ago by the government,
has never yet been thoroughly tested. It
has been decided to hold a series of tests in
Chesapeake bay within a month, and for
that purpose a board of officers will be
selected by the Secretary of the Navy in a
day or two. The experiments will proba
bly be mostly with dummy shells, but it
may be concluded to attempt to fire dyna
mite from tubes, which has never yet been
done. __

SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1891.
HARRISON MEN ALARMED
THE BLAINE BOOM AT CINCINNATI
tTAGGiSED THEM.
The President’s Name Received With
More Enthusiasm at Yesterday's
Session -Letters of Regret Read from
the Chief Executive, Senator Sher
man and Others—The Immigration
Plank Causes Debate.
Washington, April 22.— Secretary Fos
ter and the other Harrison men here view
with something like alarm the first day's
proceedings of the Cincinnati convention of
the republican league, which have been the
topic of the day among politicians. It is
not the sayings and doings of Mr. Thurston
and ex-Governor Foraker which bother
them. Thurston, like Clarkson, is well
understood to have a personal grievance
agaiuat Prosident Harrison because he was
not given a cabinet place, while ex-Gov
ernor Foraker is regarded as the great re
publican Ishmael. But what troubles the
Harrison men is that the demand of
the Republican party for the
nomination of Secretary Blaine
was so plainly reflected in the greeting the
convention gave every allusion to Secretary
Blaine and his policy. Whatever may hap
pen in twelve months, they think now that
if the Ciuciunati convention had been tho
regular national c invention Secretary
Blaine would have been nominated by ac
clamation, and they know that he would
have accepted.
SESSION OF THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
Cincinnati, 0., April 22. President
Harrison seut a letter of regret to the con
vention of republican clubs, in which he
said:
I regret that I shall be unable either to attend
the convention or to give by letter any ex
tended counsel. The conventions of the repub
lican party and the legislation of the last con
gress have, however, very clearly defined and
very courageously presented tno issue upon
which the next contest must be waged. To
those convention declarations 1 give the assent
of deep conviction, and to the important
legislation of the last congress my
earnest support. It the people of the United
States will now give the world to understand
that protection and enlargement of our domes
tic industries, extension of our foreign trade by
reciprocal arrangements not Inconsistent with
the protective policy and revival of our mer
chant marine by methods that ail other nations
use is our settled policy, we will speedily, I am
sure, realize marvelous development and re
newed prosperity.
OTHER LETTERS OF REGRET.
Other letters of regret were read from
John Sherman, Senator Manderson, Secre
tary ot .the Treasury Foster, Senator
Evarts ana J. S. Clarkson. The reading
was punctuated with frequent applause,
but when the letter was a mounced from
tho President of the United States the del
egates cheered again and again, and finally
they arose en masse, waving handkerchiefs
and papers aud cheering until the great hall
reverbera.ed with the enthusiasticoutnurst,
and when the letter was road the applause
was renewed.
THE OFFICERS ELECTED.
J. S. Clarkson was elected prosident and
W. W. Tracey president pro tem. Andrew
D. Humphrey, tho present secretary, was
re-elected. An exciting scene follow ed the
opening of the session when a big box of
American tin-plate, forwarded by Congress
man Niedringhaus of St. Louis, was placed
on tho stage and a lively scramble for the
possession of the brilliant souvenirs took
place.
In ropiy to the question of a delegate
why they were sent, Secretary Humphrey
said that Congressman Niedringhaus had
made a prediction that within two years
American tin would sell for 20 per cent,
less than tho present rate. A Maryland
delegate added that one of the largest
canning establishments in the United
States, at Belair, Md., was buying tin
now cheaper than it did one year ago.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
The committee on resolutions presented a
report. The resolutions honored the mem
ory of Geu. Sherman, Admiral Porter aud
Secretary Windom; indorsed the action of
Speaker Reed in compelling the members of
the House of Representatives to transact
the public business; favored protection and
reciprocity; remembered the claims of tho
soldiers aud declared the aim of the league
to be the dissemination of the principles
and doctrines of the Republican party us
fashioned by the teachings of its greatest
leaders: The following clauses are in full:
We iudorse the wise, statesmanlike, coura
geous and patriotic course of the administration
of President Harrison. Us conduct of both
domestic and foreign affairs has been such as to
command the thorough respect and heart .' ad
miration of every true citizen. Us altitude In
dealing with alien residents aud giving to them
the protection aocorded to American citizens aud
no more is just, and should commend itself to
the civilized world.
We oppose any attempt to debase the cur
rency and coin of the country, but insist upon
such legitimate increase of our circulating
medium, and such maintenance of the double
standard as will fairly satisfy the increasing
necessities of trade and commerce.
Loyal and intelligent republicans will not seek
to distroy vested interests, nor to crinpie any
legitimate enterprise, but they demand that the
best tb ought of the Republican party shall be
concentrated on the formulation of such legis
lation as will protect the people from any exac
tions of usurers, from the oppression of
monopolies or from the extortionate demands
of public carriers.
Recent events have made more apparent than
ever the necessity for exercising the sovereign
right inherent In our nation, as in all others, to
use discrimination in the admission of for
eigners as residents in this country. We there
fore reeomm nd such changes in our laws as
will effectually prohibit the immigration of
paupers and criminals, and of jieople so alien
from us in their ideas and habits of thought
that they cannot be assimilated in the body
politic.
We reaffirm our belief in and devotion to the
supreme and sovereign right of every lawfnl
citizen, rich or poor, native or foreign born,
white or black, to cast one free ballot in public
elections, and to have that ballot duly counted
and certified as counted. Denial of such right
should res lit in a decrease of representation in
congress and in the elecoral college.
THE FIRST BREEZE.
The first breeze was felt when a Wiscon
sin delegate, whose acoent as well as his
words told that he was of foreign birth,
begged, on behalf of many republicans in
the northwestern states, that the proposed
language restricting Immigration be ex
punged. He said the meaning of the words
might be all right, hut they would be dis
torted by the enemy with telling effect
on the foreign-born republican vote of the
northwest. They had had experience
and wauted no more. Gen. Fairchild of
Wisconsin, who was cheered when he arose,
said the delegates were all agreed on the
point in question. It was right to look after
immigration, but he begged the convention
to listen to the warning ot these earnest
meu of the northwest. They kuew what
they were talking about.
A LIVELY DEBATE.
T. C. Campbell of New York made a point
that it was better to be right and lose than
to win by being wrong.
The debate grew hot. The Mafia were
denounced. One delegate asked where the
line could be drawn to define who was not
fit to assimilate with the body politic. An
other retorted that in New Orleans the line
was drawn on a lamp post. Finally Judge
Webster moved to strike out all after the
word “criminals,’’ and this was done and the
resolutions adopted.
The reading of the Harrison indorsement
created the most enthusiastic scene of the
convention. Delegates rose, and with wav
ing handkerchiefs, hats and canes kept the
demonstration up for several minutes.
Phiueas Lounsberry of Connecticut was
re-elected treasurer. The committee re
ported in favor of Indianapolis as the next
place of meeting, but the convention made
a report to suit itself by voting that tho ex
ecutive committee shall name the place and
time, but shall make the time not less than
three weeks after the national republican
convention.
Then at nearly 4 o’clook the convention
adjourned sine die.
FOSTER'S ESTIMATE OF QUAY.
The Becrotary Considers the Senator
a Man Worth Conciliating.
Washington, April 22.—The dairymen
from the Lancaster convention who asked
Secretary Foster to-day to remove Internal
Revenue Collector Mai tin of Philadelphia
because he and bis deputies have not more
strictly enforced the anti-olemargarine
laws, have reason to expect a national
reputation. This is the year for the farm
ers, and Secretary Foster is the man to
make as much of their cause as possible.
He will hardly go to the length of recom
mending to President Harrison the removal
of Senator Quay’s ohief Philadelphia lieu
tenant from the internal revenue collector
ship, because, while Secretary Foster real
izes that Senator Quay is doing what he
can quietly to prevent President Harrison’s
renoinination, he does not care to make
Sen dor Quay the open and avowed enemy
of the President, for Secretary Foster dues
not share Roger Woloott’s opinion of
Seuator Quay nnd his political value to tho
Republican party as chairman of its na
tional committee, but regards him as a
powerful personage, who may control a
state delegation or two in addition to that
of Pennsylvania in the next national con
vention, and therefore a man to bo Ireated
with conciliatory consideration. Secretary
Foster’s idea is to make all the friends lie
can for the administration, ut the same
time that he keeps all the friends it lias, lie
thinks it will need them. But, while he will
not remove Collector Martin, he will
probably send for bim and request an ex
planation which shall be satisfactory to the
dairymen. If it does not prove satisfactory
Secretary Foster may administer a severe
reprimand, unless Senator Quay should in
terfere. The absence of the commissioner
of internal revenue, who is visiting his
home in West Virginia, may delay aotion
until the end of the week.
JUSTICE BRADLEY'S ILLNES*.
It May Cause a Postponement of AU
Important cases.
Washington, April 22.—Justice Joseph
P. Bradley has been very ill with the grip,
and his condition is still such that his col
leagues and friends are alarmed lest it
should result fatally. The chief justice
said on Monday that it might be necessary
to postpone the Say ward case and the lot
tery cases again next Monday, as Justice
Bradley might not be able to s t on the
bench by that day, even if he should steadily
recover all this week. The fact that J ustice
Bradley is 78 years old is the chief cause in
producing doubt about his recovery.
HIS FAMILY HOPEFUL.
His family and his family physician,
ho ever, insist that he will recover. While
his frame is small and his strength is slight
he has a wiry constitution and has success
fully fought off a serious illness for years,
never beiug very well, but seldom going to
bed. If he should die or should
be inpacitated from sitting on the
bench any more this term, neither the Say
ward or any other important case would be
heard by the court, for it would then have
but eight members and might be easily tied.
If Justice Bradley should die or retire there
is good reason to believe that Secretary
Tracy would succeed him on the bench.
FOSTER’A QUANDARY.
A Bank Suggests a Basis on Which
It Will Take Half Dollars.
W April 22.— Secretary Fos
ter has not yet decided upon the line of
policy to Increase the available assets of
tho treasury, and at the same time place the
subsidiary silver coin now in the treasury
in circulation. Various plans have been
suggested to him for the accomplishment of
this purpose, but he lias not yet acted upon
any of them. A letter was received at the
deDartment to-day from oue of the deposi
tory banks, suggesting that it be permitted
to have 81 15 for 81 in 4 per
cent. bonds instead of $1 10
as now, end that this difference be
given it in silver half dollars. This sugges
tion, if acted upon, would place at once
about 81,000,000 subsidiary coin In circula
tion. This idea Secretary Foster regards
with considerable favor, and if the national
bank depositories generally acquiesce in the
proposition, be will adopt it.
GROUNDING OF THE GALENA.
The Court of Inquiry Lays the Blame
Upon Her commander.
Washington, April 22.— The court of
inquiry which examined the facts cotinec od
with the stranding of the Uuited States
ships Galena and the Nina last month.has re
ported to the navy department that Lieut.
Commander Bicknell, who was in oommand
of the vessels, was responsible for the dis
aster. Accordingly, Secretary Tracy has
ordered a court-martial to assemble at the
New York navy yard April 25, to try
Lieut. Commander Bicknell on a charge of
“negligence.”
MINERS RSFUBE TO STRIKE.
They Dave Recently Resumed Work
After A Prolonged Struggle.
Pittsburg, Pa., April 22.— The miners
of the upjier Monongahela river region have
thrown a bomb into the labor camp here
by refusing to go out on an eight-hour day
May 1, when the general miners' movement
is to be made. The river mines, number
ing 12,000, have just gone back
to work, and are enjoying a prosperous run
after a disastr. us strike of several months.
In addition to this they deny that they are
in one of the competitive districts ordered
to strike.
Mississippl'a Political Campaign.
West Point, Miss., April 22.— United
States Senator George opened the political
campaign in Mississippi to-day in a three
hours’ speech. He announced his opposition
tosthe sub-treasury scheme, and said the
only relief the farmer would ever get from
bis present oppression was through the
Democratic party.
Mrs. Martin’s Trial.
Birmingham, Ala., April 22.—1n the
Martin trial to-day the defense closed its
testimony, the cross-examination of the
defendant was concluded, and the state
began its testimony in rebuttal. It is prob
able that the cose will occupy the remainder
of the week, and may run well into nsxt
week. ,
A HUNGARIAN GIRL SHOT
THE PISTOL PIR iD BY HE 4 LOVER
IN A FIGHT WITH DEPUTIES.
Three Hundred Hungarian Men and
Women Engaged in the Battle—A
Coupleof Evictions at the Bottom of
the Outbreak—Strikers at tcottdale
Addressed by a Socialist.
Pittsburg, Pa., Aoril 22. —A special
from Uniontown, Pa, says: "The
threats have been turned to violence, and
violence has caused death in the ooke
regions, with the result that Company C
has been called to the scene of the tragedy,
and all is in a ferment. The Fayette county
officers went to Adelaide this morning,
where they made two evictions after a great
deal of trouble and opposition. They were
then overpowered by the strikers and
driven away. Reinforced by Sheriff
McCormick and a large force of deputies,
they returned, when a pitched battle took
place between the sheriff’s posse aud about
300 Hungarian men and women. In which a
Hungarian girl was killed and others in
jured, among whom are several deputies.
The battle occurred about 3 o’clock this
afternoon, while the members of Company
C were lunching down at the boiler house.
CAUSE OF TUB CLASH.
“The deputies were trying to keep the
Hungarians from carrying back household
goods which hud been thrown out of the
houses in the forenoon A big, strong Hun
garian was lighting with ti e deputies,when
Sheriff McCormick started to assist them.
The Hungarian sa.v him coming and tried
to shoot. The girl who was killed was a
lover of *he big Hungarian and wus
lighting) for him with the ferocity of
a voutig lioness. The deputies sav the pis
tol went off in the hands of the Hungarian
and killed his sweetheart. If it had not
been fur the arrival of Company C at that
moment every deputy would have doubtless
been injured,' if not killed. Sheriff McCor
mick was shot through the thumb by the
bullet that killed the girl.
TROUBLE FEARED AT LEITH.
“Evictions will take place at Leith to
morrow, and trouble is feared. One hun
dred and eight Pinkertons arc stationed at
Leisinring, where eigbty-five men are ai
work in the pit. Company C will remain
at Adelaide to-night. Deputies Crawford
and Kyle arrived here this evening with
three prisoners captured during the riots."
A rally to hbar a socialist.
A special from Bcottdale, Pa., says:
“About four thousand strikers wore massed
on the commons here this ovoning to listen
to the addresses of Ales Jones, the great
socialist leader, and August liolaber, the
