“CLEVELAND DAY.”
THE PRESIDENT AND CABINET
AT THE EXPOSITION.
A Royal Reception Accorded the Dis¬
tinguished Party,
Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States, six members of his
cabinet and their wives and Private
Secretary Tburber arrived in Atlanta
five minutes after 4 o’clock Wednes¬
day afternoon.
With the president were Secretary
of the Treasurer John G. Carlisle and
wife. Secretary of tho Navy Hilary A.
Herbert and daughter, Mrs. Micon,
Secretary of War Daniel S. Lamout
and wife, Secretary of the Interior
Hoke Smith and wife, Secretary of
Agriculture J. Sterling Morton and
wifo; Mrs. Harmon, wife of tho at¬
torney general; Postmaster Geueral
William L. Wilson and wife.
They camo on the Southern’s vesti-
buled train. It reached the city Oil
time, but owing to tho departure of
tho Dixie Flyer it camo into the depot
a few minutes late.
The handsome private car, Wild¬
wood, in which tho president and his
secretary rode, was stopped across
Loyd street. Hero tho exposition com-
mittee and Mayor King were in wait¬
ing. A moment after the train came
to a standstill ihe committee, headed
by Chairman Hemphill and Mayor
King, entered the car.
Introductions followed and a minute
later the party emerged and walked to
the carriages which were waiting a few
feet away.
There was no attempt at a demon¬
stration, as it had been requested that
there be none. There were cheers as
the party appeared.
A great multitude wns massed iu
Wall street and along Pryor as far as
Equitable building. Every window
looking out upon these two streets
wns filled. Over seventy-five police¬
men kept back the crowd with groat
difficulty. It was a lingo crowd, surg¬
ing constantly forward to get a good
view of the open street along which
the president would pass.
The crowd gathered early and the
street was filled at 3:30 o’clock. The
crowd waited patiently uutil tho com¬
motion at the Loyd street end of the
depot indicated that the distinguished
party had arrived.
There was but a brief wait before
the several carriages containing the
party moved forward. They turned up
Wall street toward the Kimball and
passed between two solid walls of hu¬
manity to Pri>or street.
.. *. * up
the Aragon. Thousan ds of people
were crowded upon the sidewalks on
both sides of the street. They surged
forward eagerly as the carriages con¬
taining tho distinguished party passed.
The people were kept back by
mounted officers as the carriages roll¬
ed by. President Cleveland frequent¬
ly lifted his high silk hat to the great
multitude as he passed.
The drive to the Aragon was quickly
accomplished. It was the president’s
wish that it be made without any at¬
tempt at an ovation. There was no
music or soldiers. Only the exposition
committee met the nation’s chief and
his cabinet.
The president and his cabinet re¬
tired to their apartments immediately
upon their arrival at the Aragon. They
wero fatigued with their long journey
and remained in retirement until 9
o’clock, when a publio reception was
held in tho parlor.
At 9:30 o’clock the president aud
party were guests at Mayor King’s ele¬
gant dinner in the dining room of the
Aragon. Quito a number of guests
were present and the event was a no¬
table one in every respect.
AT THE EXPOSITION.
The President Speaks and Fifty Thou¬
sand People Cheer.
When tho president awoko Wednes¬
day morning between 8 and 9 o’clock
ho saw the brightest of suns shining
in tho bluest of skies, and ho must
have thought that even the elements
wero kind to him, for a more ideal day
for the outing at tho exposition grounds
which was in storo for him could not
have been chosen.
Tho president and the cabinet mem¬
bers and the ladies of the party break¬
fasted at 9 o’clock and were driven to
the exposition grounds immediately
thereafter. i.
As early as 8 o’clock the crowds be¬
gan thronging to the exposition
grounds. Every vehicle that could he
obtained was pressed into service, and
at the exposition gates there were lines
of people a block long.
When the president and his paity
arrived on the grounds the incoming
crowds were gradually growing larger
and walking around any of the en¬
trances was very difficult.
The president’s carriago came in at
the main gate at 10:30 o’clock and
was driven at once to the government
building. There preparations had
been made to receive the presidential
party. Dabney, Jr.,
With Mr. W. C. as
his guide, and Governor Atkinson as
an escort, President Cleveland went
through many of the exhibits.
President Takes the Stand.
Two reviewing stands had been ereo-
ted in front of the government build-
j 0ne immediately on tho steps of
the building and a larger one just op¬
posite it. These were draped with the
colors of the country in very hand¬
some style.
President Cleveland and his party,
after leaving the government building,
were escorted by directors of the ex¬
position t" the reviewing stand, All
tho members of the presidential party,
the governors aud h number of expo
sition directors were given seats on tbo
large stand whilo on the small stand
tbo members of awards and other ex
position directors were given suits.
As the president entered the stand a
salute of twenty one gnus was tired
on the plaza by tbo artillery company.
As tbo Inst shot was tired the bend of
the line of military appeared near the
reviewing stnuil, and the president
nroso from bis seat and assumed a po¬
sition at the front of the stand.
First came a squad of police; Cap¬
tain Burke, tbp marshal of tbo day,
with bis staff, followed; Major Clem,
Colonel Albert Howell and Clifford
Anderson came next. They wero fol¬
lowed by Colonel W. L. Kellogg, of
the Fifth regiment of regulars, and
then eamo olevou companies of the
regiment of United States soldiers
with their hand.
As the troops passed the president
they camo to present arms and held
that position until they had gotton be¬
yond the reviewing stand.
After the regulars had passed Gov¬
ernor O’Ferrall, of Virginia, and his
staff appearod in tbo line. Tbo gov¬
ernor was cheered from tbo time tbo
parade started until ho left the lino
after passing tbo government building.
Governor O’Ferrall was followed by
the V. M. I. Band, playing Dixie and
the four companies of Virginia Mili¬
tary Institute Cadets, under tbo com¬
mand of Colonel I). Price. Colonel
C. A. Nash and his staff, of the Fourth
Virginia, and six companies of tho
regiment, passed tbo stand, followed
by Grimes Battery, of Virginia. The
Asheville Light Infautry, forty strong,
marched ahead of the Gate City
Guard. Tho latter company turned
out all of its members, and their neat
uniforms and soldierly hearing caught
tho crowds. Governor Coffin and his
staff, tho first and socond companies
of Governor’s Foot Guard, command¬
ed by Majors E. Henry Hyde and B.
E. Brown, and Colts’ and Reeves’
Bands wero the next in the line. The
last in the line was the Atlanta Artil¬
lery, with all their guns.
As the last gun passed tho stand tbo
crowds rushed iu behind tbo military
and pushed towards tbo roviowiug
stands. The crash was terrific, soveral
Indies fainted and with difficulty were
taken through tho crowds.
After several minutes surging Presi¬
dent Collier walked to tho front of tin-
stand and holding up his hands to
quiet tho crowds, announced that Dr
I. H. Hopkins would offer a prayer,
immediately every head in the vast
crowd around the stand was bared.
The President’s Speech.
At the conclusion of Dr. Hopkins’
prayer, Mr. Collier arose Rmidst cheers
and introduced President Cleveland in
n neat speech.
The president >is Greeted by an
oThttinj which lasted t-fr several min
utes. Hats were thro'.u into tho air
and boundless enthusiasm was mani¬
fested. Ho spoko as follows:
Mr. President: On my own b -half and for
my co-laboror* in tho executive branch of onr
government who havo accompanied mo, I
thank you for your kind words of greeting.
W'o are here to congratulate you and your as¬
sociates upon tho sp'endid suocesi of tho ex¬
position yon havo sot on foot and upon the
ov.dencos you havo hero gathered elrofly illus¬
trative of southern enterprise, southern Indus
try and southern recuperation.
But we are also here to claim a share in Ihc
pride of your achievements. No portion of our
country men wherever found can exclusively
appropriate tho glory arising from t hoso sur¬
roundings. They are proofs of American gen¬
ius and industry which aro the Joint p sscssion
of all onr people, and they represent triumphs
of American skill and ingenuity in which all
our citizens, from the highest to the humblest,
have a proprietary right.
While my fel’ow citizens of Georgia and her
neighboring states may felicitato themselves
to the fullest extent upon such evidences as
are hero found of tho growth and prosperity of
interests and enterprises in which they are es¬
pecially concerned, I cannot ho deprived of
the enjoyment afforded by tho reflection that
tho work they have dono emphasizes, in the
sight of tho world, tho immenso resources and
indomitable thrift of the people of the Uuilod
states.
It seems to me the thought may bo suggested
as not inappropriate to this occasion,tint whai
we s o about tis is an outgrowth of another ex¬
position inaugurated on American soil more
than a century ago, when a new nation was ex¬
hibited to the civilized world, guaranteed and
protected by a constitution which was ordained
and established by the people of the United
States, with tho declared purpose of promoting
their welfare and scouring tho blessings of
liberty to themselves and their posterity. The
success which has attended this exposition of
products and manufactures is not altogether
due to the quality of tho soil or character of
the people in any of the contributing Bla'es,
but it rests largely upon tho fact that theso
states are members of a beneficently governed
nation,whose natural resources and advantages
everywhere have been developed and improved
by the influence of freo institutions, and whom
people have been stimnlnted and encouraged
by tho blessings of personal liberty.
A contemplation of the benefits vouchsafed
to us by our government easily reminds ns of
the importance of a hearty and united co-oper¬
ation in its support and protection. We should
lovingly watcli and guard it, not only because
we are recipients of its -precious gifts, but of
its own sake, and because it lias been put in
our hands in sacred keeping, to prove to the
world that wo can lie trusted with self-govern¬
ment.
We shall walk in the path ef patriotic duty,
remembering that our free institutions were
os ablishol to promote the general welfare, we
strive for those things whioh benefit all our
people, and if each of ui is content to receive
from a common fund his share of the prosper-
ity thus contributed, we shall sadly miss our
duty and forfeit our heritage if, iu narrow
selfishness, wo are heedless of the general wel¬
fare and struggle to wrest from the govern¬
ment private advantages which can only be
gained at the ex pc a so of our fellow couuiry-
mf i n '
i hope may, therefore, be pernuttel in .

support of policies ami iu our advocacy of po.
litical doctrines between those which promise
the promotion of tin* public welfare and those
which simply teem to servo selll-h or seel Iona
interests.
If wo are to enjoy tho blessings our govern¬
ment was franr-d to fa rlyiind justly bestow,
wo shall s-cure them in duo time, liy cultiva¬
ting a spirit of broad American brotherhood
and insisting upon such conduct as will, with¬
in lh) spirit of tho golden rulo, promoto tho
g noral welfare.
Tho president’s speech, though
short, took some time for its delivery,
so great was tho enthusiasm.
Tho Public Handshaking;.
President Immediately after tho conclusion of
Cleveland’s speech it was
announced that he would hold a recep¬
tion, and the crowd wns asked to
movo back to givo room for tho hand¬
shaking process.
For fivo minutes lie grasped tho
hands of grent American citizens at
the rate of Kill per minute, then the
number per minute gradually lowered
until ho was shaking hands at tho rate
of one every second. In fifteen min¬
utes the president’s taco was ooverod
with perspiration anil ho was evidently
tiring. For thirty-threo minutes tie
continued to shake hands with tho
throng and to speak a pleasant word
to many. He finally announced that
ho was tired and this part of tho cere¬
mony was cut short. Tho carriages
for the party were driven to the stand
and nil wero taken to the Piedmout
club, where an elegant luucheon was
served.
After the luncheon tho president be¬
gan a tour of the grounds, visiting tho
government building, tho main build¬
ing, tho negro buildings, and inspect¬
ing the exposition throughout.
Homeward Hound.
President Cleveland and tho mem¬
bers of his cabinet left on a special
taain over the Southern railroad for
Washington at 12 :58 o’clock Thursday
morning. As the train moved off tho
crowd cheered and the president walk¬
ed to the car window, bowing to tho
crowd outside.
INSURANCE FRAUDS.

Fifteon bills for forgery, false pre¬
tense and consjiirncy were sent to tho
grand jury of Carteret county superior

of which attracted so much attention
last summer.
The state is represented by tho so¬
licitor and tlielifeinsurancecompanies

filed counter affidavits.
A VICTORY FOR KOSTKK.
Controls Hie Louisiana State Demo¬
cratic Committee,
The democratic executive committee
of Louisiana met at New Orleans
Thursday with a fullutteudancoandall
tho prominent democratic leaders from
all over the slate in attendance. Thoso
friendly to Governor Foster’s renomi¬
nation held a caucus as also did
those opposed to him, but tho deliber¬
ations of both factions were secret. It
was pretty obvious that tho governor’s
friends had things their way.
After roll call and preliminary work
of organization the committee pro¬
ceeded to business. E. Howard Mc-
Caleb read a resolution calling for tho
holding of a democratic jirimury elec¬
tion on a future agreed date anil jilaeo.
The list as proposed was seconded by
Mayor Fitzpatrick. It was proposed
to accopt the last United Statos census
as a basis of population, one represen¬
tative for every 2,000 and fractions
over 500,
Mr. Bontner moved an amendment,
making the basis of voting tho voto
cast at tho election of March, 1892, on
the white democratic votes oast and
that the result ho faithfully abided in
by nil anil the successful candidate re¬
ceive the entire support of tho party.
A spirited debate followed, but Mr.
McCaleb’s resolution prevailed by a
large majority. This is a jiroliminnry
victory for Governor Foster.
MISS HENDERSON DEAD.
Assaulted by Neal Smith, the Coal
L’ity Convict.
Miss Henderson, who was so brutal¬
ly assaulted several days ago by Neal
Smith, a negro convict, died at Cole
City, Ga., Tuesday morning. Miss
Henderson never regained sufficient
consciousness to speak of tho assault,
which was perhaps the most brutal in
tho criminal annals of Georgia, and
she died unconscious of the fact that
her assailant has been tortured and
killed near the spot where sho was at¬
tacked by the convict brute.
Governor Clark is Happy.
Governor Clark says he feels great¬
ly relieved over tho news from Hot
Springs to tho effect that Corbett will
depart for St. Louis, the other rnom-
bers of his party going to Now York,
The governor says he is still governor
0 f Arkansas and he feels good to think
the supreme court is in accord with
him.

A cablegram was reooivod at Wash¬

the sudden death, by heart failure and

her son, George Eustis, at Ratoath,

President Cleveland ami party reach¬
ed Washington Thursday night at 8:12
o’clock from tho Atlanta exoositiou,
eighteen minutes abend of schodulo
time. The trip was made without tho
slightest accident or delay and Post¬
master General Wilson said they wero
greeted most cordially iu Atlanta and
had a delightful time. Crowds mot
tho president at Charlotte, Salisbury,
Greensboro, Dauvillo and Lynchburg.
Every member of tho president’s party
was delighted with the trip and is loud
iu praise of the perfect service of tho
Southern railway.
The members of tho cabinet pursued
no formal method of visiting tho At¬
lanta exposition, some going with one
party of escorts, some with another,
butivhorover they wero they expressed
themselves pleased with tho efforts of
tho southern people and of Atlanta to
make a splendid exhibit of southern
resources. Iu thoir visit around tho
grounds the president, tho vice presi¬
dent and tho members of the cabinet
wero surrounded by groat crowds, and
those who wero not enabled to get
through tin' crush at tho public hand¬
shaking, sought to get a look at tho
distinguished party.
Secretary Morton is enthusiastic
over the Atlanta exposition, which, ns
an educational institution, ho says is
incomparably superior to tho Chicago
world’s fair. Ho says President Gil¬
man, of Johns Hopkins university,
who sat next to him at dinner iu At¬
lanta, told him ho had visited all the
great expositions and none of them
< <|util<>tl Atlanta educationally. The
president’s party was deeply impressed
with tho evident prosperity of the
southern country through which their
train passed and tho rapid improve¬
ment shown on every hand. There
were as many moro new cotton mills in
process of erection along tho line, as
there were completed onus a year ago.
Will Talk of Seals.
It is stated officially that Hon. Mac¬
kenzie Rowell, premier of Canada,
and Sir Charles Tapper, minister of
justice, in the Canadian cabinet, will
arrivo in Washington within a few
days to assist in the Behring seal con¬
vention. The meetings of tho con¬
vention will bo hold at tho state de¬
partment, Secretary Olney represent¬
ing the United States and Sir Julian
Paunoofote, tho British embassador,
representing her mnjesly’sgovornment.
Tho two members of tho Canadian
cabinet will act in an advisory capac¬
ity to Sir Julian. This will iiHsuro a
strong presentation of tho British
position. Sir Charles Tupper was
minister of marine and fisheries at the
time the Canadian sealers were seized
by United States reveuuo cutters and
he has exhaustive information of tho
circumstances. Sir lulinu and Ihe
Canadian premier also lmvo had long
experience with the question.
Sensation in Naval Circles.
A sensation in naval circles has been
caused by the announcement that, Rear
Admiral W. A. Kirkland, commanding
tho European nnvnl station of the
United Stales, has been detached from
duty and ordered home. It is expected
that Admiral Kirkland will apply at
onco to ho placed on tho retired list.
Commodore Thomas O. Selfridge, Jr.,
will succeed him as commanding officer
of tho European station. For some
time jift'.t it has been rumored that
Secretary Herbert was not pleased
with the conduct of Admiral Kirkland.
Dissatisfaction was first caused by the
action of the admiral in Bonding a let¬
ter of congratulations on his election
to President Faure, of France. Sec-
rotary Herbert construed this as en¬
tirely wrong, holding that the official
position of tho admiral, representing
tho dignity of tho United States navy
in European-waters, precluded him
from making any comment whatever
with roferonco to politics and sent a
letter of reprimand.
American Students Barred.
Lieutenant Commander Cowles, the
naval attache of tho United Htates
embassy in London, has informed the
navy department that the Royal
School of Naval Architecture at
Greenwioh will hereafter decline to
receive any constructors of tho United
States navy. No reason for this action
is assigned. Post graduate courses for
American constructors are still open at
Glasgow aud Paris and Cornell uni¬
versity has recently added a similar
course to its curriculum. The Glas¬
gow school is a private institution anil
several members of tho construction
corps of tho United States navy re¬
ceived advance training iu naval archi¬
tecture there. At tho navy depart¬
ment several reasons are attached to
the action of the Greenwich establish¬
ment, which is a government affair.
It is believed by some that the real
cause of the declination to receive any
more constructors of our navy is a de¬
sire on the jiart of the British govern¬
ment to prevent the United States
from obtaining plans from British
ship builders.
During tho past twelvo years tho
United States government has sent to
the Greenwich school graduates of the
naval academy at Annapolis who were
given appointments as assistant naval
constructors, Theso have received
valuable training ami returned to tb®

The Industrial Condition as Reported
for the Past Week.
Favorable reports ns to southern in¬
dustrial conditions during tho pnst
week indicate thnt tho largo specula¬
tive movement in cotton has kept the
market very activo. Good judges be¬
lieve thnt cotton is roalty worth from
8 j to cents, heoauso of tho short
crop, the reports ns to which aro more
unfavorable froift day to day. Iron
is steady anil less nctive. Tho sales
and deliveries havo prevented any ac¬
cumulation of pig iron iu southern
furnace yards, and the visiblo supply
is not in excess of tho regular wants of
tho trade. Reports arc current as
to largo additions to llio nnmbor of
furnaces in tho Birmingham district,
and furnaces continue to blow iu, tho
furnace capacity not seemiug to he lar¬
ger than is required. Active specula¬
tion in southern iron is much less uo-
ticenble than it has been, and the reg¬
ular trade is doing a vory largo busi¬
ness. Coke and coal are growing
steadily in demand. A firm coke and
coal market in taking all shipments as
sent forward, and the great hulk of
business is based on favorable con¬
tracts. Textile mills nro rencwcdly
active. The week’s report contains
rotereuco to a $500,000 cotton mill at
Newport News, Va., of three nddi-
tioual ones to a cotton mill plant near
Atlanta, Go., a $150,000 mill ot Aus¬
tin, Texas, a lurge mill at Rome, Go.,
a $50,000 cotton and woolen mill ot
Cedartown, Ga., and a woolen mill at
Atlanta, Ga.
Among tho important new industries
established or incorporated during tho

turing Oo. at Marietta, Ga., capital
$150,000; the Consumers’ Brewing
Co. of Norfolk, Vu., nlao with $150,-
