Tfce Chief Executive Cheored by the Crowd as He Drove on the Grounds. The Members of the Staff Who Ac companied Him The Governor Highly F leased. Chickamauga, Qa. .June 19.—Gov. Nor then reviewed the First regiment and Seventh battalion to-dar. The spectacle was a pretty one and an Immense crowd witnessed it. The governor arrived on a special train from Chattanooga at 1:45 o’clock with his staff and at 5:30 o’clock in the afternoon he went to the grounds and inspected and reviewed(the troops. The crowd bad reached the grounds in advance of the governor, and when bis carriage arrived loud cheers greeted him. In the first carriage were the governor, Ad jt. Gen. Kell and Quartermaster General W e3t, and Judge Advocate General Candler, and Col. Walton, Col. Machon, Col. Haskell, and Col. Harrold occupied the seooniLUpon reaching the commandant headquarters the party dismounted. INSPECTING THE CAMP. Col. Mercer and his staff met the gov ernor and, after a look into the colonel’s tent, the governor’s party was shown through the quarters of the First regiment. Lieut. Col. Reilly and Adjt. O’Byrne of the regiment were luvited to accompany the party, and the regular inspection began. The men were drawn up in line in front of their tents, and stood facing them. The governor passed up the company streets, reviewing the men and inspecting the tents as he came back. The Irish Jasper Greens were the first company to undergo the in spection. The tents were neatly fixed, and thiugs were well arranged inside. ACOOMPANIED BY CAPT. FLANNERY. Capt. Flannery accompanied the officers through his street, back into the mess shed aud into the bath-rooms. The governor was well pleased with the inspection of the Greens and so expressed himself. Lieut. Bat teries made very complimentary remarks when the party reached the headquarters of the Cadets. The company was attired in its dress uniform and the men looked well. The governor removed his straw hat and bowed very low when he shook hands with the captain of the Constitutional Guards of Liberty County. He smiled at the men pleasantly as he passed down inspecting their tents, and he had a good word for all the boys. It is decidedly the biggest day this company has seen. QUARTERS OF THE BATTALION. When tbe party came to the first street in the Second battalion, Col. Meroer con ducted Gov. Northern to CoL White's head quarters and the inspection of tho battalion began. In a few moments the camp had been inspected and the review took place. It was au imposing ceremony and brought forth loud applause. The retreat was founded after It ended and the governor drove baok to the hotel, where he remained until 8:45 o’clock, when tbe special train bearing him and bis party left for Chatta nooga en route to Atlanta. A big ball was tendered tha soldiers to night by the people of Chickamauga. A RAINY DAY. From the Special Correspondent of the Nevis. Chickamauga, June 19.—1 t rained yes terday, hard, and the boys have a splendid ground to-day. They are out early like spring chickens with feathers neat and clean. They are enjoying the week as much n they can, and some of them will be sorry when the day comes to quit Chickamauga. Savannah’s soldiery outsbiues anything in this part of the country, and they are al ways ! eing complimented by officers and visitors. The Thomasville Guards, the Val dosta Videttes and the Brunswick Riflemen are a fine body oi mon and they understand the soldier maybe better than the other companies outside of the cities. O’Byrne has growu very popular here, aud visitors on the female side of the house imagine that he is the only adjutant of tbe “onliest” regiment in this great couutry. The officers say there is but one way for the adjutant to convinoe them that be is but * *01:6 among others,” and that is to slick his saber in tbe sand and fall before Hymen. There is everything in folks find ing out folks. Sheriff Ronan is a sure enough Boldler, and theso folks agree that be is a most handsome "old man.” The s’ eriff reoognieed two or three of his prison ers up here wearing the stripes. When he passed them and spoke the guards wondered what was coming to pass. Mr. Ronan remembered the name of every one of the old birds aud they appear to be glad to see him. FUN ON THE QUIET. In spite of the strict regulations main tained by the regiment, the boys will have their fun on the dead quiet. The Greens Mart it off and the others take it up. Billie Kehoe and oue of his friends were arrested last night for disturbing tbe quiet of camp They said they were burying old Mdiers who died upon the battlefield of Unckamauga in ’63. They were actually going through the ceremony, and Bob Pep per was on top of a tmrrel preaching tha funeral of the dead. The singing was very doleful and the supplications of the acting minister were painful to hear. Kehoe said, “It was the funniest thing I ever saw,” as he patrolled his beat on double fluty to pay for that fun. Capt. Dixon’s company, the Republican Blues, are ad mired by the visitors. “Tha ouly thiug missing,” said an offioerof the company yes terday, “is the ladles. Wo love to make our display to them.” Gordon Lee, the man ager of Cnickamauga, promises to import a carload to sit up and smile and applaud the soldiers. It is told on Proctor of the Blues that he Quit the train coming up to camp loug enough to eat a quart of gall berries, think ing they were huckleberries. When asked bow he felt over it, he replied that he is Buffering as much enjoyment as the others. PLENTY OF CHEESE. 1 he greatest quantity of cheese was offered the boys enroute from Savannah here and tbe eong of tbe men was "Eating cheese, nd bound for Chickamauga.” Lieut. Mc tiarrio of the Ogletborpes attracted a good deal of attention from visitors yesterday as ee.iior officer of the guard. He is a thor ough soldier and his appearance is particu larly striking to theso North .Georgians and fennesseaus. The three most soldierly looking men, however, said a visitor yes terday, belonging to one company are tApt. Brooks and Lieuts, Mell and Lovell. 1 aro of splendid physique and the best soldiers in camp. Capt. Brooks will easily Pass for a regular. Indeed, his appearance . much better than any regulars Geor gians have seen in many a day. ine conduct of his men in camp and the thorough understanding of the soldier on Parade has drawn people to them, and they are recognized the moment they corns upon the field. The first orderly of the day was reosen from the Cadets to serve the colonel and the company was drawn upon for a man the second day. This is an office filled fly the very best appearing man, in the mind of the adjutant. And the appoint ment of two men successively from the adots is a decided compliment to tbe oom rany. Georgo Tyson was appointed the urst day, and H. W. Ward got the second appointment. Wbt blunting THE ORDERLIES. Handsome Private GaUaher of the Irish Jasper Greens was appointed orderly the klsut. Cot Reilly, and George Aink of the German Volunteers got the sec ond appointment. Little Bennie Symons, the high stepper tor the C&dets, but ooe of the best men, has grown powerful sentimental since he scented the high bills. He sits in his tent and casts his eye far above the blue of Lookout and writes the very best poetry. The boys say it is actual poetry—good at that. And sol diers know poetry when they see it. Ibe Augusta soldiers are never behind about anything. They never go into a thing unprepared—unless it is a light. One of them wrote an interesting letter to a member of the Cadets yesterday, request ing him to ascertain whether Chickamauga is dry or wet. Said he: “If the tincture oau t be obtained there I waut to come loaded. ” The Cadet replied that if it were not for the rain the place would be mon strous dry. Lieut. Satterlee of the United States army appointed Private R. B. Farr of tho Cadets his special clerk and will keep the soldier in his tent to write. The other boys say that Farr should split the snap with them. But tbe private simply smiles and looks inexpressible. BRUNSWICK’S RIFLEMEN. The Brunsn iok Riflemen are the youngest body of men in oamp and among the best looking fellows. The captain is a real hand some fellow, but he spoils himself when he opens his mouth. It would be all right if he talked always to soldiers—they need to bo hollered at; but there Is no use hollering at swine. Now, a hog loped along “two forterly” in front of the captain’s tent yes terday, pursued by the Dawsun Guards, the Thomasville Guards, the Constitutional Guards, several other guards, aud the Val dosta Videttes, and because he chanced to loose tbe guy ropes and precipitate the cau ses upon the officer a howl went up from under the tent that almost woke Chicka mauga'* dead. But the oaptaln did not care a snap, and when he orawled out he stood flat-footed and spoke as flueut En glish as anybody cares to hear. And when ne concluded he stepped out and brought in the hog. They say it makes captains of military companies very wroth to have the tent fall in their face while they are smoking. Especially is this true if the pipe stem should chance to be forced down their throats, peeling off the skin and causing the tongue to quit ita local habitation. THE THOMASVILLE GUARDS. Lieut. Miller of the Thomasville Guardi Is a lieutenant colonel on the governor’s staff, and will ride around with that magis trate Friday in the review of the troops. He is also professor of the military department oftho Southern College at Thomasville. Capt. Hansell of the oompany is a big lawyer In Thomasville. Ee was seven years owner, publisher and edi tor of a weekly paper, and he Is not alto gether in love with the business. When asked why he is not, be replied: “I found that it required two men’s time, two men’s work, ana but half a man’s pay to conduct it.” That is argument enough. He is evi dently a better military man. He makes a good showing and bis men are all long legged, well-trimmed, Bound-bodied and healthy boys. Capt. Wooten of the Albany Guards is a splendid little man. And be is a little fel low—in stature. He is a member of the legislature and one of the youngest men thore. He has surrounded himself with the pick of Albany, and what a time the boys would have if they could see the girls. Lieut. CoL Reilly has won tbe hearts of all of these people. They take to him as if they had always known him. And the colonel is mighty agreeable. He smiles upon them in such a manuer that they in variably have business with him a second time. The colonel has been moonlight riding by boat on the lake. I haven’t his word for it, but an officer cold me tho colonel grew very Jpoetio as the oars splashed through the water, and he "quoted” right along. Dr. Kendrick of the Dawson Guards is an old veteran. He served as a surgeon in the army and is familiar with oamp life. Sergt. Powell of the Ocean Steamship Company is vigilant with tha boys in keeping down the spirits of the dead on these hills. The sergeant says be manages to do bis share toward it. Sergt. Drummond has been Binging again. Tbe Constitutional Guards of Liberty, who had retired when the sergeant opened up, walked out of their tents and, with heads and feet uncovered, circled around to drink it in. Z. D. R. A CLOUDBURSTIN ILLINOIS. Every Dwelling and Place of Business at Utica Damaged. Ottawa, 111., June 19.—Utica, the busy little cement and brick manufacturing town and seat of many cozy and pretty homes, was devastated by a cloudburst yesterday. The aloud broke just north of the town over a high bluff and came into the val ley with a roar that created a panic and caused the Inhabitants to rush before it and seek shelter upon tbe high ground. In tbe space of a quart -r of an hour the water rose six feet in the low lands and from one to three feet in the dwellings and stores in the heart of the town. Buildings were shaken from their foundations, sidewalks torn up, fences and outhouses carried away. Fortunately, no lives were lost and the water soon re ceded. EVERY BUILDING DAMAGED. Not a dwelling or place of business es caped damage, and household goods to tho value of many thousands of dollars were ruined. Beautiful lawns were despoiled and saud and mud to a depth of several inches covered the floors and carpets of dwellings. In the man ufacturing portion of the place great 1 is* was sustained. The principal loss to this class falls on the Utica firebrick company, whese fires were put out and the stock in the kilns ruined. The cement company also l?st heavily. Tbe losses will probably aggregate *150,000. IN A PYTHON’S COILB. A Snake Charmer Attacked by the Reptile in a Circus. Chicago, June 19.—During the afternoon performance at a side show with a circus yesterday a fourteea-foot python attacked Miss Uno, the snake charmer, and seri ously injured her. The snake was anew acquisition of bad disposition. Miss Uno had wound tbe snake about her aud was about to lift another to her arm when it tightened its folds and oaught her lefi arm in its jaws. Three attendants at once sprang to her assistance, and it re quired the united efforts of all to free her from the horrible embrace of the serpent. ITS JAWS PRIED OPEN. Tbe jaws of the reptile had to be pried open before her arm could be released. A physician was called and the wound cau terized and unleu blood poisoning sets in tbe injury will not be serious. At the time of the ecoident the tent was packed with people and the excitement was intense. Four ladies fainted aud had to be taken inte the fresh air before they recovered. Hanged for Outrage.

Among other things the call for tho meeting declares “As Americans, we will, of course, join with heart and soul in the rejoicings of our fellow-citizens for the country’s prosperity. A HEBREW DEMONSTRATION. “But it is proposed that, as Hebrews , we make a demonstration in tangible form. First, in recognition of tbe blessings we enjoy in this land, because such notion can but attract the attention of anti-Bemitio legislators in other lands to con trast between their Hebrew sub jects and the Hebrews of America. This, coupled with the fact that Hebrew integrity, energy and en terprise so powerfully contribute to Ameri can prosperity may awaken those poten tates and legislators to a wider, nobler and more generous policy toward our brethren in their domain.” SIXTY SIGNATURES. The call was signed by sixty prominent gentlemen from leading cities of this coun try. By resolution tbe matter of plans was referred to a committee of twenty-one, tu be appointed by Hon. A. 8.

Dh. liRAOHMAN. THREE SUGGESTIONS. Of three things, a national fund to endow a rabbinate for Washington. D. 0., for in no city of the union is a man of learning and eloquence more necessary than in the capital of the country; or raise a fund to purchase books, translations and original works on Judaism aud the Jews, to be placed in the new national library at Washington, to be known as the “Quadri-centennial contribu tion ot the Jews of ths United States,” and to remain separate and distinct as such, or to raise money for an heroic statute of Thomas Jefferson to be erected in tho square bordering on Pennsylvania avenue and Seventh street, where all men, women and children can see how much the Jews honor the author of tho immortal declaration. Sihon Wolf of Washington, JEWISH SCIENCE.

The committee of twenty-one, which is tS oousider the subjeot of the celebration, will be ready to report at the adjourned meet ing, which will be held some time next Sep tember.

Washington, June 19.— The North American Commercial Company, by its at torney, to-day filed with the acting Secre tary of the Treasury a protest against the action of the United States government in preventing that company from taking the number of seals stipulated in its contract.

A POINT RAISED. The protest concludes with tbi9 para graph: “If it may be assumed, as England has asserted and this government has de nied, that the eastern portion of Bering sea is not a marine territory Of the United States, hut is 'high seas,’ the company re spectfully submits that it is not competent for Great Britain and the United States alone, or for any other two governments to determine who shall be permitted to navigate these waters or to prohibit fishing or taking seals on the high seas; aud the company respectfully points out to the honorable Secretary of tbe Treas ury that its rights have been overlooked by said agreement between the two govern ments, in that it deprives the lessee from taking the seals which it is authorized to take by law and its contract with the United States, thereby inflicting a severe loss upon said company in order to obtain the con sent of England to arbitrate the question as to the right of Canadian poachers to de stroy the ssal industry by pelagic sealing.

ERRORS OF OMISSION. Illinois* New Secret Ballot Law Falls to Appear aa Passed. Springfield, 111., June 19.—Friends of the seeret ballot were chagrined to-day by the discovery that the ballet reform bill passed by the last assembly, as signed by the governor, shows gross error on the part of someone. Section 28, which provides that no ticket peddlor shall be allowed wltllm 100 feet of the polls on election day, is riissing entirely from the hill. It cannot mow be told whether the fault lies with the 'enroll ing and engrossing clerks, or with ttfe olerk of the House, VTuere is a diffensoe of opinion as to whether the omissio3tdu7aU daws the reinairf ( or 03$, CONSERVATIVES AT OUTS. PRESENT MEMBERS REFUSING TO RECONTEST THEIR SEATS. Blr Gorst Gives Vent to His Contempt for Certain of Hts Colleagues in tbe Ministry—His Bpeech Cons'.rued as an Evidence of His Recognition That the Conservative Roglma Is Near it* Eud. (Copyright, 1891, by the S'. T. Associated Press.) London, June 19. —Parliament will be prorogued Aug. 6. This is the official ar. rangoment, which resulted from an agree ment between the government and the op position whips, after the latter had commu nicated with their leaders with reference to their policy upon the remaining bills of the session. Vigorous effort will be made in the com mittee on the education bill to extend the operation of the measure. A strong section of radicals will fight for an amendment giviug the rate payors local control. But tho progress of the bill generally will be accelerated bv the liberal acquiescence in its main principles. LONGING FOR A REST. Tbe members long for a spell of rest be fore beginning the election campaign. Tho local party managers, who are swarming in the lobbies of the House of Commons, have just received authentic instructions to pre pare for dissolution early next summer. The government Intend to summon tho House early in January and stake their fate on the Irish local government bill, and they oaioulate to dissolve parliament after car rying tbe bill. CONSERVATIVES IN A ROW. The, conservative uncertainty over the future of the party is leading to further refusals by present members to re-oontest their sente, and within the ministry itself discontent is producing disorganization. A remarkable outburst, in which Blr J. E. Gorst expressed oontempt for oertain of bis colleagues in the ministry, occurred in the Manipur debate. Botng obliged officially to defend the Indian government he made a mocking apology fur the brutali ties and stupidities of the Britisn rule abroad and behind jibes at the Indian government be satirized the imperial gov ernment. He said that Henaputty was a man of brains, that his real orlmes were in dependence and originality, aud that the government disliked original talent, pre ferring amenable mediocrity. The {tones heard him aghast, wondering at whom the language was leveled. SIR GOKST’a DENIAL. When interviewed later Sir Gorst denied that it was directed at Vieconnt Cross, his ohief In the Indian office, or at any other colleague whose complaisance overtops his ability. The acoepted interpretation of tbe speech is that Sir Gorst, recognizing that tbe period of conservative power is about to dose, ie preparing for the time when he will reassume, with Lord Randolph Churchill, an independent position, aiming tu form and lead a group strong enough to give them eventual con trol, or at least that the most prominent shall lead the party. Sir Gorst, who is a tory democrat of keener intellect and sounder judgment than Lord Churchill, has long cherished Ideas of renovating the conservative party. He believes a prolonged period in opposi tion would afford bis Dost chance to come to the front. THE BACCARAT SCANDAL. The bacoarat ferment Is not quite over yet. Mr. Cobb proposed to ask Sir Btan hope what the Duke of-Cambridge Intends to do to enforce tbe anti-gambliug regula tions in the army, and what officers or men have been punlehod for gambling. Regret ing their weakness in abandoning the hunt on the Prinoe of Wales some other radicals moan to raise the subjeot again on the army estimates. If the pluns to sustain the denunciation of tbe Prince of Wales are pursued the liberal leaders will ,not only be disassociated therefrom, but Mr. Gladstone privately states that he and his colleagues must retaliate on the detainers, Tbe uucoucealed disgust of the bulk of tbe liberals over the propose further aotion of parliament in the direotlon of oensure of the Prinoe of Wales may deter the democratic radicals from following up the question. CATTLE ON THE OCEAN. Chaplain’s Atlantic cattle bill, behind the seeming simplicity of its provisions, chiefly relating to additional powers to inspect ves sels, has a latent application of the severest protective character. Under tbe clause granting the board of agrioulture tbe power to insure animals proper ventilation, food, water, etc., the board obtains supreme reg ulation of tbe trade. A meeting of the National Liberal Club, Sir Thomas Farrer presiding, arranged for or ganized opposition to the amended American and Canadian regulations for improving the eruditions of the traffic and will reinforce the opposition against the new measure, which really aims to obstruct tbe importation of oattle. THE HALF-TIME SYSTEM. The consular reports on the half-time system abroad, which were tabled iu par liament for use in the debate on tho facto ries bill, showed that the recommendations of the Berlin labor conference have been fully applied in German, Belgium, Holland and the Bcandinavlan countries and partly so in France, Switzerland and Italy. The consensus of tbe reports is that legislation for the protection of women and children is everywhere progressing. Most countries are also promoting schemes for the insur ance of workmen. ALL THE COTTON ABLAZE. Six Hundred Bales Burned tn the Hold of tha City of Richmond. Liverpool, June 19. —The bulk of the 600 beffes of cotton in the burning hold of the steamship City of Richmond has been taken out. Tbe ootton when taken out was still burning, and was almost com pletely destroyed. The pumps failed to clear the hold of water and It Is believed that the water pours lu through an open port bole or some other inlet. The vessel has again listed to the starboard, her keel touobing the bed of the dock. FRANCE CALLS DOWN HAYTI. The Execution of a Merchant May Lead to Trouble. Paris, June 19.—M. Rlbot, minister of foreign affairs, has submitted to the oabi net a report from the French minister at Port-au-Prince in which the minister says that he sent a protest to the Haytian gov ernment against tbe execution of a mer chant named Rigaud, who claimed French protection. Emigration of the Jews. Berlin, June 19. —The German Jewish emigration committee declines to undertake to send Jewish exiles to Palestine instead of America on the ground that to undertake to palliate will not solve tbe Jewish problem.
