(ratifying of these are the kindly ex-

withstanding the widely different char¬
acteristics of tho two countries, tho
welcome which is tendered you by th >
(government and citizens of the United
States illustrates in the strongest pos¬
sible manner the kinship of tho na¬
tions.
“We feci that in the arrangement
of your tour you have not allotted to
your sojourn among us sufficient time
to gain an adequate observation of all
we have accomplished as a nation.
“It will not, however, escape yonr
notice that a rich and fertile domain
has been quickly created by those who
were assured that they would reap
where they had sown ; that a strong
and beneficent government has been
here established by those who loved
freedom, and that we have a patriotic
aud generous people who love their
government because it was theirs;
controlled by them, administered for
them and protected aud saved from
harm by them. Wo heartily wish that
your stay with ns may bo most pleas¬
ant and that at its close you may en¬
joy a safe and agreeable return to vour
field of dnty and usefulness.”
After Mr. Cleveland finished his re¬
marks he introduced Secretaries Car¬
lisle and Lamont, Attorney General
Harmon, Mr. Whitney and the other
gentlemen present whom Li HuDg
Chang had not met. Ex-Seoretary of
State John W. Foster, who met the
viceroy in Japan during the negotia¬
tions for pence between that country
and China, was remembered and cor¬
dially greeted by Li Hung Chang.
The official interpreter, Lo Fung Luh,
introduced the two sons of the viceroy
and the others who accompanied him
to President Cleveland.
After this there were some informal
talk and pleasant words exchanged.
Li Hung Chang did not indulge his
propensity for asking questions to any
great extent and at 11:20 o’clock, half
an hour after the arrival of the guest
of honor, the reception terminated.
The party again entered their carriages
and escorted by Uncle Sam’s cavalry,
drove back to the hotel.
President Cleveland and Secretaries
Olney, Carlisle and Lamont took
luncheon with Mr. Whitney.
Mr. Cleveland left on the yatch Sap¬
phire for Gray Gables Saturday after¬
noon, accompanied by Mr. Olney and
Private Secretary Thurher.
Li Visits Grant’s Tomb.
Li Hung Chang, despite the fact
that he attended a dinner in his honor
Saturday night by the ex-ministers to
China at the Waldorf and had re¬
mained up at least an hour beyond
his usual hour for retiring, arose Sun¬
day morning at 6:20 o’olock. At 10
o’clock a delegation of thirty Chinese
merchants called on tho ambassador to
pay their respects.
The most interesting event of the
programme for the day was the visit
of the ambassador to the tomb of
General Grant on Riverside drive.
Li Hung Chang had a great admira¬
tion for General Grant, who was one
of his heroes.
SAY IT 19 INTERFERENCE.
A Circular to Railroad Employes
Creates a Breeze.
A special from Cedar Rapids,la., Burling¬ says:
P resident C. J. Ives, of the
ton, Cedar Rapids and Northern, has
sent to each of the company’s employes
in the envoi pe containing their
month’s pay a circular that has created
a political sensation. the circular
The employes denounce
as containing an implied threat, while
the republicans consider the document
ill-timed and so oon»tructed as to do
them great damage in the rural dis¬
tricts. The free coinage people circulars are
having thousands of the
printed for distribution. oth¬
The document contains, among
ers, the following statements:
“If the doctrines of the silver party
are true, the products of the farm are
to bring a higher price. price
“Do you wish to increase the
of the sack of flour, or the meat you
buy? articles
“If this doctrine is true all
brought from foreign countries will be
doubled in price, such as ooffee, tea
aud sugar.
“Do you wish to pay more?
“If Mr. Bryan is our next president
the money of the country will be sil¬
ver, or silver notes on a silver basis.
“This railway company has to pay
the interest on its bonds in gold—
$11,000—and if it has to pay a piem-
ium to get it, and thereby the interest
account is increased, there will be no
way to meet it except by reducing ex¬
penses ; and while the pay may not be
reduced, do you wish to take the
chance of its being you who will be

LACKS A MAJORITY.
GOVERNOR EVANS FALLS 027
VOTES SHORT.
Final Returns of South Carolina’s
Praimaries Are In.
A Columbia special anys: The state
executive committee has been hard at
work tabulating the returns from the
recent state primary eleotion.
At midnight Friday night the com¬
mittee was ready to report, no question
having arisen up to that time as to the
Correctness of the returns in the sena¬
torial race so far as the committee was
concerned. It iB true that earlier in
theevening St. Julien Yates,of Charles¬
ton, had handed to tho chairman a
protest against Charleston’s vote on
the grouud.of fraud, but withdrew it
as it was about to be presented, as he
saw it would likely hurt Evans’s chances
in the race.
AVhen the committee-got the returns
finally tabulated they showed a total
vote of 78,236—Evans, 38,802: Earle,
31,092; Duucan, 8,337,
Evans lacks 627 of a majority.
State Chairman Tompkin’s figures
were cut a little over 300 votes on the
plurality of the combination on ac¬
count of about four counties reported
“complete” sending iu revised return
sheets.
AVhen the sub-committee was ready
to make its report there was some¬
what of a sensation-. Chairman Brad-
ham had begun to read it, but Senator
Efiid, one of Governor Evans’ friends,
interrupted and moved that the com¬
mittee adjourn till 11 o’clock Satur¬
day in order to have time to carefully
examine the figures.
Of course every one was taken by
surprise, and one or two members of
the committee started to protest.
Chairman Tompkins remarked that
the telegraphic reports included were
signed “official.” by county chairmen and mark¬
ed
Mr. Brauham, who was to make the
report and had closely examined the
figures, protested against any such
proceeding. He said he was astonish¬
ed at this move; if he thought there
was anything wrong with the fig¬
ures he was more than willing to
stay, but he did not and he did not
think the committeemen should be
kept here. The reports on file were
as correct now as they would ever be
able to get them. If anyone knew any¬
thing wrong wilhthemthe factsehnuld
have been laid before the committee
or the sub committee at the outset of
the meeting. He made a vigorous
protest. Someone asked why they
should wait until 12 o’clock. Mr.
Efird said the sub-committee would
require that much time.
A vote was then taken on the motion
and an adjournment was taken by a
vote of 13 to 9. Many of the mem¬
bers seemed to be at a loss to under¬
stand this sudden move.
Senator Efird, when asked the mo¬
tive, said that they wished to have
time to look into that Charleston mat¬
ter and see if there was anything in it
at all.
At a late hour it was rumored that
the real object in obtaining this ad¬
journment was to gain time for Sena
tor Tillman to arrive before the result
was declared, using the Charleston
scare as a blind.
A telegram received from AVashing-
ton quotes Senator Tillman as saying
that if there was a second race he
would Keep his hands off. The second
primary is reported as a certainty and
along with it the defeat of Governor
Evans. The totals for the other state
officers as they would have been read
by the committee were as follows:
AVilborn, for railroad commissioner,
61,308*, (seven counties missing).
Tompkins, for secretary of state,
62,005.
Norton, for comptroller general,
61,690.
Barber, (or attorney general, 62,073.
Timmerman, for treasurer, 60,668.
For superintendent of education,
Mayfield, 46,630; Robinson, 30,635.
For lieutenant governor, McSweeny,
45,442; Cooper, 32,554.
For governor, AVbitman, 2,208 ; El-
lerbe, 55,112; Harrison 41,278.
WEYLER’S DECREE APPROVED.

The London Standard publishes a
dispatch from Madrid saying that the
Spanish government has expressed ap¬
proval of the decree which General
Weyler has decided to issue suspend-,
ing the work of gathering the coffee
crop in Cuba, and also of his action in
forbidding Spaniards and foreigners
to hold any dealings with the insur¬

I LANS OK HOLD MEN.
Caffery Will be Permanent Chairman
of Indianapolis Convention.
An Indianapolis special rays: It is
praotically settled that United States
Senator Donald Caffery of Louisiana,
will be the permanent chairman of the
national democratic convention to be
held in this city next week. He has
been notified of his selection and will
be prepared to perform the duties of
that office.
The question of temporary chairman
is not to certain, but it lasts between
B >urke Coekrau, of New York, aud
Roswell P. Flower, of the same state.
Mr. Cofekran is most spoken of for
the place, but as he has not its yet sig¬
nified his intention of being preseut
the honor may fall to Governor Flower.
It is now believed that there will be,
at least, a semblance of a contest over
the nomination to the first place on
the third ticket. Many names are
mentioned as especially available, and
among those is that of Grover Cleve¬
land. One .of the managers of thegold
standard movement said, however :
“This will be a convention of Mr.
Cleveland’s friends. It would not do
auythiug that would offend him. There
has never been the slightest hint from
him that he would accept another
nomination, and under these circum¬
stances the convention will not con¬
sider his name.”
Nearly every mail now brings lists
of delegates to headquarters. Secre¬
tary John P. Wilsuii of the natioual
committee, is engaged in making up
the roll of tho convention for subrnis
sion to the national committee at its
meeting Tuesday. It looks now like
there will he about 900 delegates in
the convention. Every state and ter¬
ritory except Nevada, AVyomiug,
Idaho and Utah will be represented.
Quarters have been reserved for the
full delegations from Georgia, Texas
and Michigan.
Ttie decorations and rearrangements
of Tomlinson hall, in which the con-_
vention is to meet, willApxo beeu'com-
pleted by _ Saturday and it will be
turned over to the sergeant-at-arms.
COTTON IS SAVED.
Further Damage to the Crop Fore¬
stalled by the Rains.
Tho crop bulletin issued by the
government weather bureau for the
past week declares that cotton was
greatly damaged during the week by
continued hot, dry weather. Relief
was finally had by general rains
throughout Georgia. The rains so
far have not been sufficient to assure a
larger yield than was expected a few
days ago, but further damage was re¬
strained, if not stopped. The official
report in part is as follows:
“The past week, np to Sunday, was
a repetition of what we have been hav¬
ing for tho past month, hot and dry.
As a consequence all growing crops
have continued to suffer, rendering the
outlook more and more gloomy for the
farmer. Good seasonable showers
occurred in the northern and cen¬
tral counties on Sunday and became
general over the state Tuesday, rain
falling iu most sections. While the
rains have come too late to do any
material good to cotton and much of
the corn crop, vegetation generally
will be greatly revived aud the ground
will be put in good order for fall seed¬
ing, etc. The cotton crop will fall
considerably short of the average.
The drought has caused it to shed rap¬
idly and prematurely, the plant to
turn yellow and rust to spread. Many
of the late crops will reap considera¬
ble benefit from the rains. Pastures
will improve, and stock water, that
was becoming very scarce in sections,
will be replenished.
RIOTS IN CONSTANTINOPLE.
Mob Raids tho Ottoman Bank—A
Number of People Killed.
A dispatch to a London news agency
frim Constantinople says: Mobs are
in possession of a large part of Con¬
stantinople. Early in the afternoon
Wednesday a body of meD, armed-with
revolvers and bombs, invaded the Ot¬
toman bank, killing a number of gen¬
darmes on guard. The employes of
the bank fled to the quarters occnpied
by ihe tobaooo syndicate, which has
control of the collection of the taxes
tobacoo the empire.
The invaders mounted the roof of
the building and from the open win¬
dows fired at the polioe in the street
below. The poliece returned the fusil¬
lade and several persons were killed
and wounded. Then the riot be¬
came general. Shops were sacked and
bazaars invaded and the wildest excite¬
ment prevailed throughout certain
quarters of Constantinople.
A later report says that there is no
doubt but what the movement was rev-l
olutionary in plan and scope; that it,
had its origin at secret meetings of
Armenians.
A bomb exploded in Constaniinople
near the Galateazarai guardhouse.
Many soldiers were killed and
wounded.
Edict Against Sugar Cane.
It is reported, that General Weyler
intends to prohibit the grinding of
the comine crop of sugar cane in Cuba.

this life is to live upright

GOLD CONVENTION
FLANS OK THE “SOUND MONEY”
PEOPLE AT INDIANAPOLIS.
The Question of Nominating a Caudl-
date in Doubt.
An Indianapolis special says; It
has practically been decided that at
the Wednesday mass meeting of the
gold men Mr. Bynum will v.all the
meeting to order. He will give away
to John R. Fellows, who will act as
chairman. Colonel Fellows will make
a speech and will be followed by IV:
C. P. Breckinridge, of Kentucky; C.
T. Lewis, of New Jersey; Edgar H.
Farrar, of Louisiana, and others.
While there is yet no direct evi¬
dence that the hand of the administra-
tion has had anything to do in giving
direction to the convention, it is evi¬
dent that those who are closest to the
administration are in very friend¬
ly touch with affairs, and it
would surprise no one if Presi¬
dent Cleveland’s approval of the
convention was made known by a let¬
ter from him before the close of the
convention’s work. It is generally
believed that the leaders in the move¬
ment are in direct communication
with Buzzard’s Bay, and they openly
avow that the president is in full sym¬
pathy with their efforts.
The convention will have represen¬
tatives from all but four states in the
Union.
The chief point of interest is as to
what the convention will do in the
nomination of a ticket for president
and vice-president. Three distinct ele¬
ments have already formed. One favors
making no nominations and adopt¬
ing a strong platform and adjourning.
The second element favors the nomi¬
nation of the straight ticket, to be
composed of men who are gold stand¬
ard democrats and who will be pre¬
sented to the country for democrats
who disapprove of the Chicago
platform and yet who will not
under any circumstancos go to the
republican party. The third element
will favor the endorsement of McKin¬
ley on the ground that as between two
evils he is the lesser, as he is the only
candidate who is running on a straight-
out gold platform, and this will be ar¬
gued as an omnibus virtue to cover all
bis other sins and those of his party.

DAUNTLESS CAUSES TALK.
The Cruiser’s Recent Actions an Un¬
fathomable Mystery.
Brunswick, Ga., is all agog with
talk of the Dauntless—where has she
been, what she will do and why she
apparently put her neck in the noose
by running into port where the gov¬
ernment officials were known to have
instructions to examine her.
Added to this talk came a fresh
batch when the steamer Pope Cattlin
came in from her morning run to 8t.
Simons and reported that the revenue
cutter Boutwell had juBt come out of
Jekyl creek and was headed for the
Dauntless.
Recent statistics show that the in-
crease iu the crutch manufacturing in¬
dustry is keeping pace with the pro¬
gress in the making of bicycles.
