Palestine Commandery Pays Its Respects Today. THE NEW YORE KNIGHTS AND THEIR LADIES AC- CORDED A SPECIAL RECEPTION—A PRESENTA- TION BY THE LADIES—MRS, TUCKER CAPTURES ‘THE COMMANDERY WITH A CAMERA. Mrs. John A. Logan gave aspecial reception at noon today to the sir knights of Palestine commandery, No. 18, of New York, who will leave the city for home this sfternoon. The knights, sixty in num- ber, headed by Cappa’s seventh regi- ment band of New York. and followed by about fifteen ladies in an omnibus, left the Ebbitt at 11 and marched out 14th street up the hill. When they reached the cross street lead- ing up to Calumet place they halted and the ladies alighted. Then, witn the band in the lead, playing =a smart march, the knights and ladies climbed the hill to the mansion, about which the decora- tors clustered and busied themselves like bees putting the last finishing toyghes to the prepa- rations for tonight. =: —» The band went on when the brow of the hill was reached, but the knights stopped some dis- tance behind and, forming in two rauks, facing inward, one on each side of the road saluted the ladies as they passed throuzi. Then the line moved on to the gate where Mrs, Tucker obtained two snap shote at them fron a miniature camera, RECEIVED AT THE PORTAL. Mrs. Logan was waiting at the doorway for her visitors, surrounded by the ladies who assisted her, who were: Mra, Tucker, Mrs. Latta, Mra. T. W. Tallmadgo, Mra. A. L. Conger, Mrs. Distin and Miss Fiora Tallmadge, A few minutes before noon the staff of the commandery, Generalissimo Stewart Bradburn, ¢ Ia ate John Baldwin, Pd. Gen. C. H. Gillespie, Pd. Gen. Howis Brockway and Pd. Em. Com. Geo. Van Cliet, came up the walk and in- formed Mrs. Logan that the eminent com- mander awaited her pleasure. She replied that she would be pleased if the sir knights would come into the parlor, and in afew minutes the line, headed by Eminent Commander Al- fred Taylor, ascended the steps to the tune of amarch, Mr. T. W. Tallmadge presented Sir Knight Taylor to Mrs. Logan, who received iu she right hand parlor. Sir Knight Taylor told her that Palestine commandery. sent her greeting and was honored by this opportunity to pay its respects. She said in reply that the knights were always welcome, and especially now on such an occasionas this. The ladies were presented first. Sir Knight Taylor making the introductions. Each of the ladies assisting in the reception was introduced byname. Sir Knight Bradburn aided the eminent com- mander in presenting the knights. THE LADIES WITH THE COMMANDERY.

Baldwin, Mrs. Geo. M. Still, Mrs. kK. G, Larason, Mra, F. P. Morris, Mrs. J. D. Acker, Mrs. Alexander McClelland, Mrs, J. N. Casanova, A TRIBUTE OF ROSES. When tho party had been presented the knights and ladies looked through the mansion. Aftera few minutes the visitors were called back into the parlor and surrounded Mrs. Lo- gan, who was somewhat at a loss to un- derstand the meaning of the movement. Sir Knight Taylor then lifted a magnificent bunch of red roses from the center tuble, and, in a fow eloquent words, presented them to Mrs. Logan on behalf of the ladies of the com- mandery. ‘The parlor was perfectiy silentand the well-chosen expressions of the commander moved the knighta and others visibly. He spoke with reverence of the memory of the ud statesman, which was held dear beyond measure by ali good Templars as well as by the entire country. His example, he said, was a bright light before them, and he | trusted that it would be followed by all of his | comrades in the order. ‘To Mrs. Logan he repeated his thanks for the honor which she had bestowed on the knights by according them special reception and assured her that she shouid alway Be enshrined within the heart of the commandery. ‘MRS. LOGAN'S RESPONSE. Mrs, Logan was visibly affected by his elo- quent reference to her late husband, and in a broken voice thanked the knights for their kindnesa. She could better express her feelings to the ladies themseves, she said, and begged that the commandery would excuse the brevity of her remarks. In return for the beautiful roses she presented the visitors with a handsome photograph of her husband, which, they said, they would frame and hang in their asy- lum. MRS. TUCKER'S CAMERA. Then, after the exchange of a few informal courtesies, the knights departed. Drawing up in line in the road they presented swords and the band played a strain of Hail Columbia, Mrs. Tucker bethought her- self of her Kodak and ran into the house after it. When she reappeared the knights were about to move, but at her request they in presented their blades while she tool few parting shots. Then she bade them adieu, and promised them copies of the photographs, and, with the band playing, the knights and ladies’ marched buck down the hill. —-_—_ Army Promotions. The retirement of Col.

LIVELY SCENES AT THE RIVER FRONT—EMBAREA- TION OF THE PILGRIMS—MOST OF THEM BOUXD TO MOUNT VERNOK—SOME GO TO NORFOLK AND OTHERS FOR A SHORT RIDE ON THE WATER. ANY of the visit- ing Knights Tem- plar and their fam- ilies who were dis- appointed yester- day in their desire ‘Washington made the trip to Mount Vernon today. From 7:30 o'clock in the morning ‘ ei until noon there was & constant stream of strangers on their way down 7th street to the river, The street cars were all crowded,as they were yesterday,some of them currying more than ome hundred passen- gers on a trip. Those commanderies that went in a body marched to the wharf. The streets lending to the river were thoroughly sprinkled this morning. relieving the vast crowd from | the discomforts occasioned by the dense clouds of dust through which they had to pass yester- day. THE MAMMOTH STEAMER COLUMBIA with colors flying was tied up at the 6th-street wharf and looked her best when the Philadel- | Phia commandery, No. 4, of Philadelphia, with | 150 sir knights and the Weecacoe band.marched across the gang plank. Whee the entire party of knights and their friends were on board it was 8 o'clock, and then the huge craft steamed down the river for Old Point Comfort, The trip will be a delightful one, as almost the entire river south of Washington will be traveled by daylight. The party expect to reach Fort Monroe in time for sup} rom. there they will ym to Norfolk and News and then to Baltimore, where the steamer belongs. From Baltimore the knights will re- turn home by rail, THE NEXT STEAMER TO LEAVE was the W. W. Corcoran, which goes to Mount Vernon every day. Everybody wanted to go on that boat because they had heard so much of Capt. Blake's ability to make the trip pleas- ant. The captain, however, was too busy to go down on the steamer, but he sent Capt. Ross, who proved equal to the ecca- sion. Although Capt. Blake could not accom- pany the excursionists on the trip, he was not forgotten by them, and before the boat made a start it was decided to give the captain a send off, which they did by singing “He's a jolly good feliow.” The captain felt highly comli- mented and promised to open a barrel Of oys- ters tomorrow, At exactly 9 o'clock the whistle blew und the jolly party were. ON THEIR WAY TO MOUNT VERNON. The crowd was still increasing and “Jumbo,” as the Excelsior is called, gave a whistle in- viting those present to “‘come.aboard.” The Boston commandery of Boston, the oldest com- mand in the state, accompanied by the Bos- ton K.'l, baud, led the way to the boat and were followed by about two thousand persons, It took | but ashort while to load the steamer, which made a start before 10 o'clock for the old home | of the Father of his Country, The crowd still kept coming, but not in such large numbers, ‘The steamer Jane Mossley, which is licensed to carry twelve hundred, was lying at the wharf in readiness and she was not long in taking up her line in THE RIVER PARADE. The thirty young men and boys of the Ma- 801 home drill corps of Louisville received the applause of the vast throng when they ap- | peared on the wharf and marched to the steamer, St. Aldemar’s commandery of St. Louis, with a band and knights end numbering nearly two hundred, had formed @ procession and marched uboard, It was a Jolly crowd und the ladies, young and old, trippe along asthe band played several hveiy uifs, When about one thousand persons had boarded the boat the lines were drawn in aud the happy party was leaving the city. EXOUKSIONISTS ON THE MARY WASHINGTON, There were many persons who wanted to take a pleasant ride down the river and back without being in the large crowd and making the stop at Mount Vernon, They were accom- modated on the steamer Mary Washington. | Sir Knight Edward M. Mix of Wash- |ingtom commandery, No. 1, stood at the gang. way and welcomed the pile 8. He was ably assisted by Sir Knight ferudon Morsell, The large steamer was dec- orated with oe and bunting, and on the upper deck Cuterer John Crogan had spread two jong tables with a eee, lunch, taken of by ie guests, The steamer | made 4 trip down as far as Fairy landing and return, The trip was an enjoyable one, as the sir knights of Washington com- mandery did all they could for the guesta and pointed out the places of interest as they were passed by the boat, Music was furnished by the Laurel military band. This afternoon at 1 o'clock the steamer Ex- celsior made a second trip to Mouat Vernon. —_- =. Presidential Postmasters Appointed.

BIG FIRE AT LOOUST POINT. . i ARE HERE FOR BUSINESS. The All-America Delegates Not Con- cerned About European Criticism. New York, Oct. 10.—The Herald's Worcester correspondent says: I interviewed yesterday the South American delegates on the persist- ent attacks made by European, and especially English, papers on this international cougress, Not one of the gentlemen considered the utter- ance of the Lestile journals to have any weight, at any rate with themselves, Senor Jeronimo Zellaya of Honduras said: “The govermment of Honduras bas taken the liveliest interest in this congress, and has gone into it with hich hopes. We desire to develop the natural resources of eur countries, ‘e are very near to the United States, and have better means of communication with it than we have with Eu- rope. This isa matter simply of comme interests, We have already several ) American companies dealing with wa, and we may find it more advantageous to trade still more extensively with the United States.” Senor Jacinto Castellanos, one of the dele- gates from Salvador, said to me: “Oh we are not to be influenced in the least by what the British and other journals say of us. We naturally desire to be prosperous and rich, and therefor this conference with the United States should not be considered an attack upon Englund or any other European country.” Senor N, Belet Peraza, delegate from Vene- zuela, said: “All the powers in Europe are in- terested in increasing their co amerce and in opening up markets by conquest and placiug their productions, which are very large. They see that this congress will reduce some of their markets. and that the opportunities will be transferred to the United States. The political | interests in America and in the United States have developed a favorable policy toward other peoples on this continent, whereas the Euro- peans have not. Your people have inspired us with « feeling of confidence which Europeans have not. I desire to impress this part upon peat readers—that the English are now on the aa of the Orinoco, that they have a part © the: our mining want territory, and to have the that navigation of that river. We are at the mouth of the gate to those countries in South America, and we er great rivers, re exposed if we open this n powers. We belive that England is uot at all sorupuious about tak- | ing possession of land. She pretends to have some such right in our country. and if she were | aliowed to carry out her projects it would en- danger all the other South American countries. This congress will be a barrier to all such pur- poses. That is the reason England is attacking Senor Alberto Nin of Uruguay said: “The English have one-third of our commerce. if the United states can do better for us we are not obliged to go on trading with England. The attacks made by the English press on the con- | gress are ont of plate and are not warranted.” | Seuor F. C. Zegarra, the delegate from Peru. said: ‘We have come together with the mostly friendly feelings. We have no other | object but to enlarge our markets and keep them open to fruitful competition. It is not fair for Europeans to attack us. This conter- TRE OCEAN FLYER. The Steamship City of New York Ruas Aground—Waiting for the Tide.

Afraid of Losing Their Dumping Ground—French Wines, Ete. 2 Loxpox, Oct. 10.—It is not surprising that the mercantile nations of Europe are fearful of ® diminution, of their trade with the South American republics, They constitute their best though, of course, not their largest market for certain goods. The African coast trade in its best days could alone be compared with it, The negro has grown shy of exchanging gold dust and ivory for Birmingham goods, and, as@ result, these and corresponding articles trom other European centers of production are poured by the cargo into the southern balf of the American continent, Clayed cottons and refuse iron ware from England and compounded wines and brandics from France are bartered for native products at enormous profits and under the most favor- able circumstances. it would be the work of Years to introduce Am in goods to the easre Roing traders who are caught by the allurement of long credits. GENUINE COGNAC FROM AMERICAN VINES. Lomenters for the by-gone days of genuine cognac may derive some hope from the an- nouncemeat that the desolate districts of that once famous locality are being replanted with American vines, jd there is « prospect that in less than a generation the gallic exporter will be able to send to his customers in th aud South America something besides flavored sotato spirits. These bonest | sessed have lutely been thrown into spasms of ‘irtuous indignation by accidentally learning that ltalian merchants have been guilty of the repreheusible conduct of shipping their wines taxable at 20 per cent to Triest and thence into France as Hungarian and Dalmatian juice of the grape, which pays only 2 per cent, ence does not meanan interference with pres- ent engagements.” Senor J.

An American Schooner Confiscated by Mexicans. Saw Francisco, Cat. Oct. 10.—Two weeks ago the American schooner Annie G. sailed from this port for the Mexican coast on a trad- ing expedition, She was loaded with pro- visions and commauded by Capt. M. Olsen, It Seems that only @ portion of the cargo ap- peared on the manifest, and when she arrived at | Altata, Mex., afew days ago, she was seized by Mexican customs officials, They asserted that she tried to evade paying custom ducs and fixed upon a fine of $1,100 as the Proper, thing. Captain “Olsen telegraphed Wright & Brown of this city, owners of the schooner, and was instructed to resist the claim, Capt, Olsen will place the case in the hands of the nearest American consul. Meanwhile the DIGAPPOINTED SPANIARDS. The Spaniards are not over delighted by the prompt manner in which the sublime potentate of Morocco yielded them the satisfaction de- manded for the outrage upon Spanish seamen, and there is little doubt that if another inci- dent of the kind should occur they will act first by occupying some coveted portion of the coast of Morocco and resort to diplomatic measures afterward, IRVING AND His IMITATOR. Several London theatrical critics would be delighted to give their true opinion of the pro- ceedings of Mr. Irving agaiust his imitator, Les- lie. With more than Macready’s vanity Irving has not the imposing phyxical appearance which made it possible for Macready to carry off pomposity with dignity. Leslie is reobally more popular than Irving, ut the latter is the protege of the queen and prince of Wales and must therefore be held sacred from ridicule. When the prince's august spouse recently became lam fashionable society promptly affected the “Al- exandria limp,” and pow that the prince has varicose veins heavily-ribbed stockings, imi- tating the deformity, are said to be coming Mexicans have possession of the schooner and are confiscating her cargo, ——___ ANOTHER RAILROAD SCHEME. Hill of the Manitoba Combining Against Villard. Dorvra, Musx., Oct. 10.—A prominent rail- road man who was in this city last night and who is in a position to know the plans of the Canadian Pacific company says that there is little doubt of the truth of the published reports that the Manitoba road and its kindred lines are to be combined with the Canadian Pacific system under the new program of Hill, and that program surely means the amalgama- tion of ey Burlington and Northern road with the Manitoba ‘tem, and gives the farther important formation that there is to be a combination of the Union Pacitic with the Canadian Pacific and Manitoba roads, and thus the great railroad trust will embrace two transcontinental lines. The Burlington and Northern will furnish the Chicago connection for the whole system—the Union. | Pacitic as well as the Manitoba road—and the | Manitoba lines to Sioux City, now nearly | completed, together with a short line now building out of Sioux City to! @ connection with the Union Pacific, will give the latter road Duluth connection, and through the Duluth South Shore and At- lantic a Cunadian Pacific road. and the Cana- dian Pacific itself a through connection to the into fashion among the swells. ———>—— TEMPERANCE CRUSADE IN OHIO, Cold Water Enthusiasts Bombard « Lima Saloon.
