HE GULOGIZES THE QUAKER CITY Great Good Accomplished by De- vising This Trade Museum. A SEQUEL TO WORLD’S FAIR ———_>— PHILADELPHIA, June 2.—The Pennsyl- vania railroad train bearing the presiden- tial party from Washington arrived at Broad street station at 11:05 o'clock this morning. Quite a crowd had gathered in and around the station, and when the President walked from the train on the arm of Mayor Warwick to the carriage awaiting him his head was almost con- tinuously uncovered in responding to the hearty greeting accorded him. The mem- bers of the party were taken in charge by committees assigned for the purpose, and the President was driven directly to horticultural hall, where the American Médical Association convention was in ses- sion. The President addressed the doctors briefly, and was then driven to the Phila- delphia Commercial Museum, where he in- spected the exhibits of that institution. A luncheon was served at the museum. Lat- er in the afternoon the President at the Academy of Music delivered an address at the opening of the international commer- cial congress. The luncheon at the museum given to the President and members of the diplomatic corps, which was wholly informal, and which occupied the time from 12 to 1:30 o'clock, was taken advantage of by a number of prominent Philadelphians to pay their ts to the President. On the right of the President sat Gov. Hastings and Mayor Warwick, and the chairs to his left were occupied by Frank Themson, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, and the Chinese minister. Upon conclusion of the banquet President Mc- Kinley received the delegates to the com- mercial congress on the first floor of the museum building, and was then driven to el. %) o'clock he was taken to the Acad- emy of Music to attend the opening of the commercial congress. President McKinley's Speech. He said: Ladies and Gentlemen—To have assembled the representatives of great cemmercial and industrial interests at heme ard abroad in such large numbers is so unprecedented as to make this a most memorable event. Chambers of commerce and boards of trade, mayors of cities and governors of states, together with official visitors frém fifteen other nations, unite in testifying to the importance attached to this undertaking. Every ore of our sister republics of this continent is here represented through its special minister, and in a number of in- stances large delegations of prominent cit- izens have made long "journeys at great personal sacrifice to participate in this significant occasion. To all we give a hearty welcome. No ordinary object could have produced such an industrial convention. Interstate and international interests and courtesy have contributed to its success, but noth- ing less than a deep conviction in the minds of tre people represented that the movement here begun will eventually effect permanent gcins In their commercial rela- tiens can account for its wide and distin- guished character. He then spoke of the praiseworthy pur- pose of the Philadelphia museums, which had been induced by the Columbian fair exposition, and the value of such an insti- tution to the whole country. He concluded as follows: I assure the promoters of this enterprise of the deep interest of our government and the people in its success. I congratulate the citizens of Philadelphia, justly renown- ed for the centennial exposition, which first demonstrated to the world the marvelous development of our resources, that to them have been intrusted the care and comple- tion of this great work. Credit to Philadelphia. Well and far-sightedly has this munici- pality acted in creating the new institution as practically @ separate department of its government. With Mberal appropriations of money and the gift of a valuable site, the people of this city, the birthplace cf American liberty, have once more demon- strated their patriotic spirit and purpose, calling into fellowship and counsel repre- sentatives of the chief commercial bodies of this continent. Philadelphia contributed immeasurably to the triumph of liberty; she would now ald in the triumphs of labor. Who can doubt that the deliberations of these able and public-spirited men, acting together freely and cordially, animated by @ common impulse and a common interest, will result In still closer relations of inter- national comity, and a higher prosperity for all. May God's blessing rest upon this worthy enterprise and upon those who shall labor for its welfare. I now declare the Philadelphia museums fcrmally opened. —— FRANCE TAKES A HAND.

HELENA, Mont., June 2.—The difficulty between the white settlers and the Chey- ennes, in the southeastern part of the state, promises now to simmer down to a dispute between the state and federal authorities as to which is supreme in the enforcement of the law, and it ts thought all danger of bloodshed is past, there being six companies of regulars near Lame Deer and a large force of deputies and armed citizens near the edge of the reservation ready to protect the interests of citizens if the Indians should manifest a warlike spirit. Governor Smith, while insisting, in his correspondence with the general govern- ment, that the state has the power to ar- rest the depredators, has decided not to order the militia out, upon the advice that the sheriff and posse can do everything re- quired when the government concedes them the right to go upon the reservations to make arrests. A telegram received at the Indian bureau today from Agent Stouch, at the Tongue River reservation, announces the arrest of Stanley, the Cheyenne whose admitted murder of Sheepherder Hoover precipitated the Indian trouble there. The agent was immediately telegraphed to note instructions wired him by the de- partment last night, directing co-operation with the proper civil authorities, and to use every effort to avert further trouble. The War Department has also received news directly from its officers to the effect that the Indian murderer of the stockman has surrendered himself to the agent. ae WILL ESTABLISH A RECORD.

He Has Asked the Governor for a Guard of Militia to Prevent Mob Violence. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. GEORGETOWN, Del., June 2.—Excite- ment in Sussex county is at fever heat over Sheriff Johnson's discovery of a plot to prevent the hanging of James M. Gordy, in order to lynch him instead. Sherlif John- son Is greatly alarmed, and has called upon Gov. Tunnell to send a regiment of the State militia to this town June 10 to pre- vent their interference with Gordy’s execu- tion. Gov. Tunnell said today he would or- der out the militia to protect the sheriff if the emergency arose, although-he considers that such action would be a reflection upon the character of the people of Sussex county. : Since Gordy’s sentenc? to death in April Sheriff Johnson has received numerous: anonymous communications, in which the writers urge him to take good care of Gordy. One communication recelved by bim three weeks agu cautioned him to feed Gordy well and not to aliow him the slight- est means of escape, lest his own life be sacrificed on the day of the execution. ‘The receipt of this letter unnerved the sheriff, who is an old man, so much that he was stricken a few days thereafter and obliged to go to bed. He has been serious]y {11 ever since, and his illness has been accentu- ated by the pouring in of additional. com- munications upon him. Gordy Tried to Bribe a Guard. Aroused by an attempt by Gordy to bribe one of his guards to furnish him means of, escape, persons living across the -Mary- land line wrote Sheriff Johnson yesterday telling him that they would not give Gordy a chance to confess or tell a story of any kind on the scaffoid, and that they wanted him to be ready to deliver the murderer over to them when they arrive at the jail, either the night before or on the morning of tye executicn day. It was this letter that caused Sheriff Johns: to ask Gov- erner Tunnell for protection. The sheriff he is convinced that the parties who thus threaten him mean business, and he has appealed to the governor to be on the safe side. Me believes that those who threaten him are citizens of Maryland and are men who are known in their section as pro- fessional lynchers. Gerdy operated in Maryland for several months and is well known to the people there. The feeling against him there is much stronger than it is among the people of Sussex county. Sheriff Johnson's apprehensions are based upon his knowledge ot the fate of Marshall H. Price, who two years ago was lynched at Denton, Md., forty miles from this town, on the night before the day set for his execution. Price was convicted of the murder of Sallie Dean, a thirteen-year- old girl. " The feeling against him was very strong, but no real attempt was made to lynch him until the eve of his execution. The sheriff was notified that he would be lynched, but he did not heed the warning. Sheriff John- son says he does not propose to be caught in a similar trap, as he firmly believes a gigantic plot is being formed to steal Gordy from the jail and lynch him. Condemned Man is Alarmed.« Information of the plot to take:.his life has reached Gordy and has badly frighten- ed him. He sent for Sheriff Johnson this morning ‘and pleaded with him to- solicit the governor's aid. He told the sheriff that he wanted to die and is willing to die on the scaffold, but he does not want to be lynched. Sheriff Johnson says he is determined to escort Gordy to the scaffold on June i, even if he is obliged to transform the jail into. an -arsenal to check attempts to take his prisoner out. ———. : POLITICIANS GATHERING IN.

This will be opposed by*Mr. Wel- lington and his friends, who are likely to carry their point. But the Malster men will not be suppressed without difficulty, and considerable anxiety is felt as to the result of this struggle on election day. The lobby o fthe Carrolton Hotel was tkronged at an early hour this morning by Politicians of both parties. Senator Gor- man held a reception at one end of the up- per corridor, and Senator Wellington at the other, and the rooms of both leaders: were filled with party workers. ‘The sensation of the forenoon was the resignation of Mr. I.

The trial of Henry Brunhaus, charged by Tkos. L., Jones, colored, a member of the lo- cal bar, with violating the civil rights act of June 10, 1873, was held this afternoon be- | fore Judge Kimball and a jury in the Police Court. ‘Assistant District Attorney James L. Pugh, jr., prosecuted, while the defend- ant was represented by Attorneys Cook and: Riley. During the hearing there were several interesting passages between Mr. Jones and the attorneys for the defense. The defense challenged the two colored members..of the jury panel, and. white men took their places. Prosscuting Attor- ney Pugh explained to the jury that Msy 5 Mr. Brunhaus, the propriezor of an eat- ing establishment at the corner of 6th street and Louisiana avenue, refused to serve Thomas L. Jones, a well-bchaved and respectable person, in the room in which Persons are usually served. Mr. Jones was told, however, that he would-be served in the kitchen. This, the prosecuting attorney said he expected to show, was merely a subterfuge to defeat the objects of the law of June, 1873. 2 Jones Gives Testimony. Mr. Jones was the first witness. He stated that the morning of the Sth of May he entered the establishment conducted by Mr. Brunhaus, seated himself at a table and called for a cup of tea and a sandwich. “The waitress looked at me in astonish- ment,” continued the witness. “She in- formed me that I could get what I called for in the kitchen. I then asked if I was refused accommodations where I sat, and was again informed that I could get what I wanted by going to the kitchen. “After remarking that I didn’t know that Mr. Brunhaus made distinctions on ac- count of color I proceeded to the kitchen. It was a very dirty place, and I refused to eat_there. “Later I returned in company with Mr. Eugene J. B. O'Neil. We seated ourselves at a table in the dining room. Mr. O'Neil was told that he would be served, but that I would have to go to the kitchen. We thereupon left the place. I went there solely because I was hungry and wanted something to -eat. “Was Mr. O'Neil drunk or sober?” Mr. Jones was asked on cross-examination. “As sober as I ever saw a man,” was the answer. “You claim to be a respectable person?” next asked Attorney Riley. “I don’t claim it,” Mr. Jones replied, in- dignantly. “I am a respectable person.” “Did you not recently have some trouble with your church, and were you not ejected after a stormy session that lasted until the early hours of the morning?” the witness was asked. “I object to the question,” Prosecuting Attorney Pugh. “We do not want to get into side issues,” remarked Jud, Kimball. esponded Attorney Cook, » “and that is where we dif- interrupted “What was the question?” asked the court. The query was repeated. “No, sir; I was not ejected from the church,” Mr. Jones answered, “and don’t you say that J was, either.” ‘A discussion followed as to the pertinency of the question. “The respectability of the witness is ques- tioned,” stated Attorney Cook. “‘We mean to show that he entered this dining room with a person who was drunk. That ‘birds of a feather flock together’ is a principle of law.” The question was overruled and fhe de- fense noted an exception. Talk Becomes Personal. “I warn counsel to be careful of what he insinuates,” sald 31x. Jones a mpment later, referring to Attorney Riley. “I shall not be intimidated by what you or any one else may say,” replied Attorney Riley. “Just understand that perfectly. “Let that be the last on both sides,” or- dered Judge Kimball, severely. Edmund Brockenborough, a special po- liceman, who was in Mr. Brunhaus’ place of business at the time Mr. Jones was there, the Sth of May, gave testimony that did not vary in any essential feature frum that of the preceding witness. Mr. Pugh thereupon announced the case of the District closed, saying that he would not call Mr. O'Neil, who had been sum- moned as a witness for the prosecution. Thé& defense endeavored to compel the prosecuting attorney to place Mr. O'Neil on the stand, but was not successful. “Well,” announced Attorney Cook, “I can prove by Mr. Pugh that O'Neil was drunk at the time in question.” —- In addressing the jury for the defense, Attorney Riley stated that the room re- ferred to as a kitchen was not objection- able. Mr. Jones, he said, was unduly sensi- tive, and it was added Mr. Brunhaus pos- sessed the right to seat his patrons where he pleased. Dr. George W. Walters, the first witness in behalf of Mr. Brunhaus, stated that he takes his meals daily at the establish- nent of the defefidant and often occupies e small room spoken of as the “kitchen.” ‘It is clean,” said the witness, and he nad no objection to occupying it. Mr. O’Neil was then called as a witness for the defense, and he substantiated the statements of Jones and Brockenborough. “Do you mean to say that you were sober that morning?” asked Attorney Cook. “Perfectly so,” was the answer. “Did you not tell me in my office that you were drunk, and that if you had been sober you would: not have gone there with Mr. Jones?” was asked. *“T told you several fairy stories, colonel,” replied Mr. O'Neil. “You tried to pump me and 1 thought I might as well lead you on.”” = “You say you were not drunk?” “T was not.” A recess was then taken. Defendant’s Testimony. After recess the defendant took the stand. He stated that May 5 Jones entered his place of business and asked for a sandwich and a cup of tea. “I asked if he intended to take the food away or eat it on the premises, and he re- plied that he would eat it there. “I told him there was a place where he could eat it,” said the witness. “He replied that he would examine it, and asked if it was the kitchen. He then went out.” The witness, continuing, said that soon era another colored man entered’ and ed: “Must EF also eat in the kitchen?” = MIXING OF CEMENT. Ruling by Judge Kimball Against a Police Regulation. Jwfige Kimball, this afternoon, in the Police Court, made a somewhat important ruling when he decided that it is not un- lawful to mix cement on the asphalt pave- ments of the District. There is a police regulation requiring the iaying of a board platform, on which building material shall be placed, in order to protect the pave- ment. Cement, until recently, was not classed as building material. A few days ago, however, Engineer Com- missioner Black issued instructions,through the major of police, for the members of the force to prevent the mixing of cement on the pavement. As a result William Pullin, @ contractor, was arrested and arraigned today in court for violating the police regu- lations. In dismissing the defendant, Judge Kim- ball held that the regulation was unreason- able as applicable to the particular case at e. In previous cases, said the court, it had been shown that cement was beneficial, rather than detrimental, to asphalt pave- ment. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh argued persistently in support of the regulation, but without avail. —_— c THE WARDEN MUST ANSWER. Charges Against Custodian of the Jail to Be Investigated. The alleged favoritism shown by Warde: Leonard to Mr, Elverton R. Chapman, the contumacious sugar trust witness, who is serving.a term of thirty days in jail, will be inquired into by the members of the District Supreme Court, by whoin the warden of the District jail is appointed, and which court is held responsible for the conduct of the prison and prison of- ficlals. Messrs. Lipscomb & Turner, attorneys of Lawrence Ball, a young white man con- fined in jail awaiting trial on an indict- ment charging him with housebreaking, late yesterday afternoon filed with the clerk of the court a petition, signed by Ball, praying that the court direct Warden Leonard to accord him the same privi- leges which are accorded Mr. Chapman or such of them as will permit the alleged housebreaker to receive visits and certain delicacies and fcod from his relatives and friends. a Mr. Ball’s Allegations. In his petition Ball recites that many and unusual privileges are granted Mr. Chap- man by Warden Leonard, and complains that the warden not only denies him and other prisoners like privileges, but also has refused recently to allow him to re- ccive certain food prepared outside and brought to him by bis brothers. Ball, who but recently completed a term of sixty dzys for housebreaking, having plead guilty to the charge the latter part of March, is represented as being in very delicate health, and unable to partake of the regular jail food. He charges that his brothers, when visiting him at the jail re- cently, were denied admission, and that their visit upon another occasion was un- warrantably curtailed. Speaking to a Star reporter today, Mr. Lipscomb explained that his client has no fault to find with Warden Leonard because of the privileges allowed Mr. Chapman, provided the warden is consistent enough to permit him similar privileges. Judge Bingham’s Statement. Chief Justice Bingham told the reporter that the court has directed Warden Leon- ard to be furnished with a copy of Bail’s petition, the warderi ‘being informed that an answer Is desired. “The court wants to know several things in connection with the matter,” said the chief justice, “and I have no doubt Mr. Lecnard will reply fully. Of course, I can- not say what actton, if any, will be then taken by. the court, but whatever is right and proper and necessary will be done.” —.—__ MINISTER ANGELL’S CASE. Turkey’s Objections Said Been Withdrawn. It was reported today that the porte had withdrawn its objections to the appoint- ment ef Dr. Angell as United States min- ister to Turkey, “and that the latter had arranged to start for his post in a few days. The report could not be verified at the State Department. Secretary Sher- man and Assistont Secretary Day each stated that he had no knowledge of such action on the part of the Turkish authori- ties. Specific denial was made of the state- ment that Minister Terrell had informed the department that the objections to Mr. Angell rad been withdrawn, but it was might have received advices to that ef- to Have fect from his own government without as yet having communicated the fact to the State Department. . It. is understood that the main objection to Minister “was that he was sup- posed to oe @ church which had been active in converting the sultan’s sub- way putting them antagon! 6 Turkish eee 5 refutation of this theory, it is st the Secretary of State contended that while Mr. Angell may be an active church worker, he would not in his position as the d! tative of the United States have to do with purely religious questions nor would he be permitted to interfere in the litical affairs of the Ottoman empire. Notwithstanding the technical denials of the officials of the State Department, there is reason for the be'ief that the investiga- tion recently instituted into Mr. Angell’s record on the Turkish question has satis- fied the forte that Mr. Angell had been misrepresented in the matter.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS we Special Dispatch to The Evening Star, NEW YORK, June 2.—Opening prices this morning reflected fractional irregularity in sympathy with similar changes in the Lon- don market, The stocks bought at the close of yesterday's business for arbitrage account were successfully marketed abroad later in the day, and a new demand created at that center. The recognition of the lat- ter fact resulted in the rebuying of stocks sold by the room yesterday to take Profits. The Granger shares were in geod demand throughdut the day as the result of in- creasing earnings. A slight addition to Rock Island's surplus and rumors of earn- ings, increased to nearly a 4 per cont’ basis, had a beneficial influence on the enure grain-carrying group. Burlington and St. Paul responded easily to the new demand, the f@rmer being credited with the leader- ship in the present upward movement. The Coal shares, by reason of special causes, do not act in thorough harmony with the 100m situation. Where sales are recorded, however, the trading is rarely significant. The short account is no longer sanctioned by far- sighted operators, and confidence in an advancing market, subject to natural re- actions, is expressed on ail sides. In the absence vf unexpected develop- ments there would seem to be no occasion for any change in prevailing sentiment The daily volume of business has im: proved somewhat and commission houses are becoming more prominent in the ac- livity. This change, coupled with:the en- couraging attitude of London, must be regarded as events of unusual significance. Moderate en; ements of gold for export by tomorrow's steamers were passed over as events of small consequence. The withdrawals from the subtreasury on account of this outflow will in all proba- bility be limited to about $200,000, The friends of Chicago gas were again active in those shares, advancing the price to a new high level. The new legislation favorable to this company is relied upon to put the stock upon a level consistent with its earning capacity and its present dividend rate. American sugar was sold down during the morning on sales credited to interests not satisfied with pending legislative pos- sibilities. At the decline, however, the de- mand forced back beyond the openirg level. The impression is gaining ground that all fears relative to a protracted tariff debate were lacking in foundation. In this belief the street is already looking beyond the immediate tariff situation at Washington. Earnings are coming to have an old-time significance, and weekly reports will hence- forth find immediate refiection in prices. The adjournment of all state assembiles and the hope that Congress will soon imi- tate their example will force routine events into prominence as factors. Once this is done, the motives for general improvement should find reflection upon the surface of events in both the financial and commer- cial world. —>——_ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
