SEVENTEENTH YEAR. PHILADELPHIA'S FESTIVITIES, The Patriotio and,Oonstitutional Demon- strations Continued. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND SPEAKS, He Addresses the Business Men at the Commercial Exchange and Reviews the Great Military Parade, The Great Celebration. PHILADELPHIA, Pa,, Sept. 16.—The day ovened bright and clear, and since daybreak people have been astir. The sounds of fife and drum early told that preparations were being made for the grand street demonstra- tion of the nation’s protectors. Nearly thirty thousand soldiers passed in view before the chief inagistrate and high ofticers of this and other governments before noon, and at their e General dat There are at least half a million strangers within the city’s gates to-day. Not a single accident of a serious nature marred the occasion. The president was escorted by the first city troop of cavalry from Lafayette hotel to the commercial exchange, where a reception was tendered him. Members of the commerclal, stock, drug, grocers and importers, maritime, petroleum, lumbermen, textile and wool ex- changes@nd of the board of trade had as- sembled in the large hall on the third floor. On the arrival of the presidential party they were accorded hearty cheers. The resident of the commercial exchange hen introduced the president, who said: “Iam glad to have the opprtunity to meet 80 large & representation of the busi- ness men of Philadelphia, It is well that we should net entirely forget, In the midst of our centennial jubilee, that the aim and pur- pose of good government tend after all the advancemeut of the material Interesta of the pecple, and increase of their trade and com- merce. It has sometimes occurred to me that in the I|ur|'{’e nd rush of business there might well infused a little more patriotism than we are wont to see, and a little more recognition of the fact that wholesome political sentiment is closely related not only to general good, butto the general success of business, Of course our citizens encaged In business are quick to see the bearing of any policy which the government may adont, as 1t etfects their gersonll success and their accumulations, ut I would like to see that broad and pa- triotic sentiment among them which can see ' beyond their peculiar personal interests, and which can recognize that the advancement of the entire couutry Is the object for which they may well sirive, even though it results in the diminution of constantly increasing profits. And must we always look for the political opinions of our business men precisely where they sup- }mu their immediate pecuniary advantage is ound. But how vain it is to hope for the eradication of sellish motives in the affairs of iife. But I am reminded that wecelebrate to-day the triumph of patriotism over selfish- ness. Il any one say that the concessions were not well made or that we are not to-day in full enjoyment of the blessings resulting from a due regard tor all conflicting interests represented by the different states which were united 100 vears ago. I believe the complete benetits promised to the people of our form of government can be secured by the exercise of the same spirit of tolerance for each others’ rights and Interests in which it had its birth. This spirit will prevail when the business men of the country cultivate political thoughts,when they cease 10 eschew participatation in political action, and when such thought snd action is guided bfr better motives than purely sellish and ex- clusive benelit, I am of the ovinion that there 18 no place in the country where such a con- dition can be so properly and successfully maintained as here, among ¢he enlightenea llllll enterprising business men of Philatel- phia. After his speech President Cleveland held a reception, assisted b{‘ Secretary Bayard and Secretary Fairchild, ex-President lhfin, Governor Beaver, Mayor Felter, A, J. Drexel and George W. Childs. After the reception the presidential party drove to the reviewing stand at Broad at Walnut streets to witness the military parade. ‘The stands were tilled to overflowing. On the reviewing stand there was a congrega- rion of distinguished visitors, among them being Governor Larabee, of Iowa, Thayer, of Nebraska. and many others, At 11 o'clock the president came down Broad street escorted by a troop of cavalry. Behind them came a carriage with Secretary of State Bayara, George W. Childs, Secretary Faircnhild and Amos R. Little, Other car- riages followed with distinguished guests. Among them was llumet&)rd B. Hayes, When the line reached the reviewing stand the president’s carriage halted, and as he alighted to take his place on the stand the cavalry saluted him, At just 11:30 General Phil Sheridan, mounted on a handsome sorrel horse, came II? the street at the bead of a vast cavaleade of military, preceded by a squad of mounted reserves. him came the city troops of cavalry, United _ States lig artillery and mounted heavy artillery, with ~ their polished carriages an shining cannons. Admiral Luce rode at the head of the column of the naval surnout pre- ceded by the Marine band. Following closely were a detachment of marines from the Nortn American squadron. _Governor Biggs came up at the front of the Delaware troops. As each platoon passed the president their commanders saluted bim, receiving in return @ bow of recognition from the commander- in-chief. As Governor Beaver, of Pennsyl- vanis, passed ho received a hearty cheer. Following him came nearly ten thousand Pennsylvania militia. All "the comvanies marched “‘company front” until they reached Sanson street. The end of the parade was occupled by the Grand Army of the Republic, and as’each post passed In front of the stand its com- mander gave the salute to the president and was recognized. Post No, £ of this eity, carried in the center of its column twenty- one of the flags captured by them during the war. 'They were a mass of tattered and torn color, but ihey were honored by the specta- tors with cheéers whose re-echo seemed to never die. It wasa tine appearance they made. Some were walking with the ald of crutches and all of them wearing on their visazes the unerring finger marks of time. They were a picture of con- trast with the youthtul militia wen who pre- ceded them, During the time they were pass- ing the president remained standing, with his head uncovered and answered each salute as it was given. Orders had previously been issued by the departent commander of the Grand Army that only post commanders should salute: This wasnot strictly observed, however, and many of those of the rank and file passed the stand with uncovered heads. To ‘give an idea of the enorwmous proportions of the parade it may be sald that tne following Is about the number of men participating as near as could be {ud ed from the stand as they passed by: Inited States troops, 800 Delaware, one full regiment; 1% Ivauis, three brigades, About 8,000 men; New Jorsey, 1,500; Georgia, ; Conneticut, 100; Massaclusetts, 1, Maryland, 1,000; South Carolin; l.’:h' glunnshlm 1503 \'lmlnh‘ 300; New 'York, 5,000 North Carolina, 503 Rhode 1sland, 2003 Ohlo, one full regiment; Malne, 400; West Virginia, 200; lowa, 50; District of Columbia, 800; G Army, 7,000, making with the bands and others unearly 50,000, Shortly after the New York troops had Puss Mrs. Cleveland, Private Secretary Lamont and wife, ' Mr. Drexel and others who wera with Mrs. Cleveland on the baleony retired and were driven to the Belle- vue hotel, where thoy took luncheon with Mr. and Mrs, George VY, Childs, the inyita- tion to luncheon at that hour baviug been ac- cepted earlicr in the day. Vhen Governor Foraker appeared at the head of the Fourteenth Ohio regiment he was obliged to lo'e‘p his head uncovered for a long time in order to acknowledge the voeiferous cheers of his friends, who seemed to be nu- merous. ‘The Fourteenth carried with them the battle-scarred flags left them as a legacy by the late rebellion, Governor Larrabee and his staff at the bead of the governor’s foot guards of lowa, bowed to the president and 50 to Mrs. Cleveland as he rode by, The Reception to the"President.

Correspondence Made Public About the New York Fire Flags, NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—Letters were made public to-night regarding the declination of Mrs. President Cleveland of the invitation to present certain flags to the fire department of this city on the ground that the president himself was not also invited. TThe first is from President Beekman, of the board of aldermen, to President Cleveland, saying in substance that the matter has been misinterpreted by a portion of the pub- licand assuring the president that in noth- lmfi could the city be less wanting than welcome and hospitality to the fullest mens- ure to one whom it will always delight to honor (meaning the president.) President Cleveland replied at length, recognizing the misapprehension and esaying that neither Mrs, Cleveland or himself had the slightest ideaof any discourtesy to him (the presi- dent), either intended or apparent in the invitation, nor was Mrs. Cleveland’s re- ply Intended to recognize or admit the ex- istence of any such intention. Mrs. Cleve- land was simply not willing to assume such a public role entirely independent of her husband. The president is now glad she de- clined because if the Klnln meaning of her declination is distorted he Is _sure her con- duct would have been if she had accepted. They regret any disappointment to the peo- ple or firemen of New York. —_— Fixing Railroad Rates.

Gordon. Gor- don came to America three weeks ago,accom- panied by his friend and college wate,Mr. A. W. Whitehouse. Both were students of Ox- ford and sons of wealthy parents. They were visiting Mr. Windham with a view to future investments in the stock business. ‘Wednesday aftenoon they saw two antel- opes near the Windham ranche, and left to- gether to capture the game. FKin- ally after stalking the antelopes for several hours one of the animals dis- appeared and the other was seen in a little gulch where the hunters thought they could get him, It was agreed that Gordon should steal along the fiulch on one side, while Whitehouse should creep along the bottom 80 that the game could not escape, and the two separated. It was now dusk and after walking some distance Whitehouse caught sight of an object going through the sage brush about 120 yards ahead of him. He took a long look and’ finally decided that the ob- jectwas a mountain lion. He then fired and the object fell. Calling to his partner and receiving no answer, and having heard of the dangerous character of the mountain lion when wounded, he fired three more shots and then rightly filll!i)o!m! the object to be dead, he approached it. He was hor- rified on getting near to find that he had Kkilled his friend. The ball had struck Gor- don in the right temple and passed throngh his head coming out of the neck below the left ear. ‘The body was brought to Laramie and an inquest held. Gordon was about twenty-two years of age. His body will probably be ‘sent ‘to England for burial FOR A LION. — THE 'FRISCO WHEAT DEAL A Full Statement of It Filed With the County Clerk.

Both sides played hard and the visitors outbatted the home team, but to no purpose. In the second half of the first juning Walsh, who headed the batting order, led off with a two-baguer to left and Messitt followed it up with a tremendous three- bagger to left, which was only saved from being a home run by sharp fielding, and Walsh came in. Fussellbach followed with a nice single to left, which enabled Messitt to score, but Fussellbach was eaught napping at first by McCarthy and Bader was thrown out at first, retiring the side. Kansas City scored every inming with the exception of the third and had littie trouble in winning a complete victory, Walsh’s phenomenal work at short was the feature of the game, The score is as follows: McCarthy... __ Totals.. 21 Huaaa‘v‘mu:“; ol covmmoony Krehmeyer, Bartson.

Nrw YoRrk, Sept. 16.—The third attempt 10 have a trial race to choose the ablest yacht as the defender of the America's cup against the Scotch yacht Thistle resulted in one of the best contests ever seen on these waters, ‘There was a strong wind blowing from north to northwest all day. 1t reached a velocity of forty milesan hour. Added to the splendid condition of the elements was the excellent judgment of the committes, who decided, after the yacht got under way, that a triangular race should be sailed. That decision gave the contestants a cour: f thirty-eight miles to sail over with the wind on every band, at every turn and in every weather except during the first part to lese ward, when the Mayflower sailed better than the Volunteer. The latter beat her oppo- nent. ‘The outcome of the day'srace was that the Volunteer was chosen by the Amer- iea’s cup committee, who judged the “event from the flagship Electrie, to meet the This- tle in an international contest. ‘The ‘Thistle was out, t0o, but her handling was of such a kind during the first half of the race as to give no idea of what she could do after that. The Seoteh yacht was evidently sailed for all she worth., With foul bottom and under eon- ditions she was outsailed by both the May- flower and V oiunteer. The Volunteer's time was 4 hours, 20 minutes, 49 1-5 s¢ ds. The Mayflower's time was 4 bours, 51 45 seconds. 5 & *'The McKeesport - Regatta, PrrrsBURG, Sept. 16, —The preliminary heats in the McKeesport regatta were rowed Base 1—11 0 0—1 Base hits Umpire-- Errors— on the Monongahela river at that place this evening.

SOCIETY'S PARDON SHUNNED, Nina and Spies Have the Regulation Lover's Quarrel, But the Dangers ous Breach s Quickly Healed, Planning For the Fature, CRHICAGO, Sept. 16.—Special 1elegram te the Bek.j—It was made known to-day that the condemned anarchists had held a consul- tation among themselves to talk over thele case In its various bearlngs. A close friend and member of the defense committee saw them afterwards, and when he left the jail was in- duced to make known the result of the dis- cussion. He sald they had talked over two things—first, the question of whether they shall appeal to the supreme court of the United States, and, second, the great petition which it is proposed to get up, pleading for executive clemency. The last measure was voted against unanimously. The condemned men sald they had done nothing for which to ask the pardon of society; that soclety ought rather to ask their par- don. As for an appeal to the supreme court, that is a different thing. Some of them felt that they should use every resource to be found in law and then their death, it consummated, “will accurso the systom.” The person who told this said in addition that no matter what the final decision of the men was, their friends would go ahead and make every effort for a reversal of the judi- ment by the United States supreme courts In the event ot that failiug a petition would be gotten up, A local paper states this evening that there 1s a lover's quatrel between i Nina Van Zandt and August Hrlen. ‘I'his morning the Indy called at the jail, ac- cording to her usnal custom, and went to the west end of the cage. Spies, who was pacing arther end of the corrldor, soon saw her and coming to the screen the pair engaged in what secr to be an intensely interesting conversation for a few minutes, Sples then turned on kis heel and walked away, while his waiting bride calied to him without recelving a replv. Then she slowly turned away and loft the jail. As she passed out her eyes were filled with tears and when Turnkey Pierco said, “You are going early this morning,” her lips guivered fu a sob and tears fell as her lips tremblingly said, **Yes."” About ten minutes later she” returned and had a talk with Spies and when she left at 10 o'clock she seemed less unhappy. Spies has been treating her very coldly of late. Yes- terday she stood tifteen minutes in the cage before he condescended to notice her, and then his actions indicated that he re.arded the conference as nething of a bore. It I grested that the novelty of the foollsh young woman’s infatuation has probably grown dull to the anarchist and tue daily vis- its are becoming tiresome to him. Mrs. Engle and Mrs., Parsons also visited the condemned this morning. When the” prisoners were “rapped up” Mrs. Parsons took Nina in charee and was evidently “bracing her up.” ‘I'he threo women seemed downhearted and the prisoners were more than usually irritable. ‘The defense com- mittee is aaroitly scheming to work ur pub- lic sentiment in favor of a commutation of sentence and all effort tw that end will be made. The leaders are “sitting down” ebn- stantly on the radicals, who wish to break forth in tierce denunciations of the authori- ties, ete.

Hope in Justice Miller, CiICAGO, Sept. 16.—1t is stated as proba~ ble that the counsel for the condemned an- archists will ask for a writ of error to Justice Samuel K. siller, of Iowa, of the United States supreme court. Judge Miller is known to be strongly opposed to capital punishment. His convietions on this subject may probably induce him to grant a writ of error should he be applied to for that purpose. 1t is stated as more t ever probabie that Gen- Rover A. Pryor will be retained by the condemned anarchists through the defense committee as associate counsel to argue their appeal In the United States supreme court. -~ A Democratic Prize Fighr, BALTIMORE, Sept. 16,—|Special Telezram 0 the BEE.|—A number of members yester- day in the merchants’ club house became en- gaged in a political controvesy. The mnost prominent were: Dr. Pembroke Lea Thom, ex-speaker of the house of delegates, and Colonel Gorrin Wartield, surveyor of the port of Baltimore, and Senator Gorman’s chief lleutenant. Thom accused Colonel Warlield of being a tool of political bossea who run the city. He also sald if the colonel would step outside the club he would kick him. Warlield declined to pay any atlention to the doctor’s remarks. A few minutes later Warlield left the club house, closely fol- lowed by Thom. When the pavement was reached th » doctor repoated his threat he had made irside the club, and added that he thought the colonel was a cur, Warlield struck the doctor’s eve, which seng the old man to the ground, then the colonel walked away, and the doetor,who is t)rolmhly twenty years Warlield’s senior, was taken in charge by friends. Not long after DeCoursey Thomn, & young stock broker, son of Dr. Thom, heard of the ult, and went out to hunt up the colo He met him about 4 o’clock on Ba pre street, and without warning made a rush for the colonel and bit him a stunning blow over the left eve, Col= onel Warlield raised his umbrella and brought it down with full force on young Them's head, smashing his hat.
