SEVENTEENTH YEAR OMAHA, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 4. 1887, AMONG MISSOURT MULTITUDES The President and Wife Oordially Received By the Oitizens Of 8t. Louis. A DRIVE TO THE FAIR GROUNDS An Immense Reception Held at the Merchants’ Esghange, Followed By a Ride Through the Streets, The Presidential Party. ST, Louis, Oct. 5.—At 10:15 this morning President and Mrs. Cleveland took a carriage from Mayor Frances’ mansion, where they have been stopping, and were driven to the fair grounds. The president’s carriage was drawn by four richly caparisoned black horses and was followed by five other car- ringes provided for his companions. A long string of private carriazes followed behind. A large crowd of ladiesand children gathered in front of the mansion and cheered the president and wife as they left. The drive 1o the fair grounds was made atatrot. 1t was children’s day and the youngsters were out in full force. They, with their mothers, nurses snd friends packed the amphitheatre and surrounding promenade to the number of 60,000, A brass band attempted to make itself heard, but the shrill voiced congrega- y‘on made everything but the base drum in- idible. The visitors did not alight, ~ After driving around the amphitheatre track, a halt was nade and Mrs, Cleveland was pre- sented by the lady superintendent of the kindergarden schools with & hand- suvie basket of children, led by ds, “Hall Columbia,”” and the cortege, after { ve through the fair grounds, made its wwy back to the city, where they went di- rectly to the Merchants’ exchange. Mrs, Oleveland did not accompany the president 10 the exchange, but was left en route ot the rexidence of the mayor, where went to that of Mrs Seanian, one of society’s lead- ers, where the ladies of St. Louis had an n)l)mrlumty to pay their respects. ‘On arriving at the exchange, the president was taken to the directors’ room, where a large number of representative citizens from the interior of the state were introduced to him by counties, When this ceremony was over, the president was 2scorted to the main hall of the exchange. ‘The immense room was jammed to the utnost capacity with people and the pre: dent had difficulty in_getting from the rec tion room to the platform. ~As he ascended the platform the enthusiasin was intense. Frauk Garienne, president of the Morchants #«change, introduced Mayor Frances and declared this the most auspicious day_of St. T p% within her history. Mayor Frances A5k welcomed the president to the city and state, and after another explosion of eheers the president responded as follows: “If [am expected to make an extended speech on this occasion I am afraid 1 shall disappoint you; and this 1 would be sorry to de, after having succeedod at last, throuzh much tribulation, in standing face to face with my St. Louis friends. he tribulation of which 1 speak has arison from the extreme kindnes: 0f a vast number of American peo- ple «nd the cordial invitations they have tendured me to stop and sec thom on my way to you. Your ity was the objective polnt of ‘my travel in this direction, and it has snrmetimes seemed to e that every town be- tweer Washington and here has been repre- sented as being directly in my route and it has peen hard to convince their kind and enthusiastic citizens that it would not be en- tirely Ill{. within the time at my disposal, to pay them a visit. My own inclination leading me in the direction of their desires, it has peen a difticult matter to resist their importunities: bt I have made up my mind that the people of St. Louls are io blame for she entire mrpluxny and disappointments this trip has causcd, for it was through them that 1 was induted to leavs home at all. 1 expect that lnyth1n§ I might say concern- 1ng your state or city in the way of laudation or congratulation would hardly efiunl your own estimate of these subjects, belleve there was a time when St Louis wasa deterinined and jealous rival of Chicago, 1 don’t kmow ‘whether this condition continues or not; but hope it does. While you can hardly expect lookers on to take sides in such a° contest, we are interested to the extent that such a strugele adds to the growth and improvement ot the country at large. Both of these cilics exemplity, in a wonderful degree, how com- pletely and how s ily American energy jand business Ingenuity utilizes every avail- able element of municipal growth and how every useful type of the world’s population I8 assimilated to the grand purpose of Ameri- cAn expansion. 1am here reminded ot what I syppose to be a fact, that more than half of your voters are of forelgn birth and parentage. The growth and increase of your city in every way indicates, I think, that the conditicn ol your population, thus nmde apparent, is by 10 means to be depreciated, and my obserya- tion, during a long residence in a city sim- ilarly situated, has led ma to know the value of an{ community of industrious, frugal, and thritty men and women who come from forelgn lands to find new homes with us; who Invest themselves with_eitizenship, and who are satistied and content with the free- dom of our government and with our laws and institutions, The line is easily drawn between them and mnon- mlmlmlnf immigrants who seek our shores solely for purposes evolving disturbance’ and disadvantage to our body politic. 1 hope I may, without impropriety, say this much in recognition of what has been done for St. Louts by its naturalized eitizens as well asin rememnbrance of many kind and valued triends and associates of ‘former aays. Ideem myself especially fortunate in belng with you at a time when the manufac- ture and products of your city and the sur- rounding country are on exhibition at your fair, one of the largest in the country. 'hose who seck the best and surest evidence of your substantial rms;wrl@y may well be satisfied. Here I shall see things which are conclusive proof of thritt, of wealth and comfortable homes, 1 hope to besides, while here, certain featues of your city’s life ‘which, just at this ilme, are unusually displayed and which ~establish the fact that the people of St. Louis, with all their business engagements and with all their toil and stirring trade, are not averse to pleasure and enjoyment. L hope that you will find your visitors to be iutorested sightseers, and of ail things Jou way be assured, however much you may fmnress'us with the greatness of your city,we ate certain to have our hearts tillea with grataful appreciation of the kind- ness and hospitality of {uur people.” From the exchange the president and his companions were escorted in carriages through the principal business struets of the city, the ride lasting about an hour. ~ Every- where along the route masses of peovle awaited and greeted the guest of the day, ‘There was no disorder, the crowds manifest- ing their enthusiasm in cheers and noise, and refraining from erowding about or fol- lowing the carriages, The most conspici- ous feature of the decoration was the array of gas jets each lamp and awning post bearing & branching tree of piping, while at the street corners great arches were thrown across from curb to curb, ‘These bore a million colored globes, the effect of which, even In daylight, was striking. — The cortege reached the indell hctel at % o'clock. where rooms, including a series of large parlors, had been secured for the president, ~An hour was given for lunch and rest and at 3 o'clock, Mrs. Cleveland having rejoined her husband, the doors of the recention parlors were thrown open and the public were admitted to shako the hands of the president and his wife. ‘The recention began promptly at 3 o’clock and continued nn% K President and Mrs. Cleveland re- celved their visitors, standing, in the middle of the large parlor under a rich ehandelier, A s Ieading society ladies of St. Louis assisied Mrs, Cleveiaud. There was a liberal sprinkling of fadies In the ass of people and a strong adwixture of couniyuien of the pure western type, who ha eome long distances to see the president. ‘Ihe president received as he always does. lle has become very expert in the discharge of his part of the work and wanages to_greatly. facilitat the passage of the line, inspired apparently on‘y by a desire 1o give the cov- eted voportunity 1o as great a numMber as pos- Siblo. T 'ne aver kos' fafiched his ap) Anre fally to give evidence of e tact, Sub- mitting, as he does good-naturedly, to familiar, often boisterous saluta- tions ot many who approach him, he takes the liberty sometimes to give a loiterer witn a grasp of his hand a aturdy pull in the direction he ought to move and often with halt a dozen words manages to answer In_kind the greetings ot as many callers, Mrs, Cleveland acknowledged the greetings of her visitors witha smile and bow. but without taking their hands. Colonel Lamont estimates that 9,000 persons took the hand of the president this afternoon and many were unable to gain admission. At half-past 7 this evening President and Mrs. Clevelund, with their seven travelling companions, were escorted by a new recep- tion” committee through the illuminated streets of the city. At the exposition they were condu®ed through the exhibition and music halls, During the performance of “Shower of Roses” by Gilmore’s band a hanging screen at ‘ome side of the stage ~ was let fall, exposing a beautiful life-size oll painting of Mrs. Cleve- land. From the letting down of the screen to the end of the piece rose leaves continued to fall from the ceiling high above upon the picture. The presidential party reached the hotel at 10 o'clock and were serenaded by the Hendricks association, assisted by political clubs from all the wards of " the city and from many towns from a distance 'he serenade pruFur was given by several singing societies. The E:(lmssflun of which they formed a part nun- red fully thirty thousand. ‘The president addressed the serepaders, thanking them. He said that although the trip was one of sight-seeing and social intercourse, it would be affectation on his part to ignore the fact that these evidences of friendliness were tendered by those who are not only fellow citizens but’ members of the party to which he belongs. “I am glad to belleve the heartiness of your demonstration betrays to some ex- tent your democratic enthusiasm, 1 feel like confessing to you to-night that what I have seen of this vast country and its people since I left home has, If possible, in- creased my sense of responsibility as a publ ofticer and member of a great political part: My official duty owe to all the reople of the land, and whether it s well or {ll-performed, primarily concerns them and me as their public ser- vant. But [cannot fail in my duty tothe country without discrediting you and the party ‘of my choice. The considerations shown constrain me to that course of official conduet, as it Is given me todiscern It, which is marked out by the needs of the people and the fi”od of ~ the country, It tends, in my opinion, directly to the adoption ot the vrinciples and vractices of true democracy. 1t behooves us all to guard against a blind, selfish and unreasoning party feeling, re- gardless and thaughtless of “the country’s welfare, and which leads us away from good citizenship as well as true democracy.” An Explanation of the Three Sum- mons For O'Brien. Dupriy, Oct. 8.--Willlam O'Brien has writteroa public letter, in which he says: “On the day of my conviction at Mitchells- town the solicitor general telegraphad in cipher to the crown counsel: ‘Mistake. O’'Brien will beat us. Harrington will be disbarred at our next meeting.’ This ex- plains why I received three separate sum- mons, ‘I'ne plot tor ruining Harrington 1s here disclosed with brutal eandor.” In an interview Harrington says: *Perhaps some of my words at the Mitchells- town In?u 8 wera too strong for some of our English friends, but nothing else could elicit the facts from the police. I was informed that the mlicy had previously been determined upon to give me all the insolence possible in the witness chair. Sprfienu: Ryder pledged himself to his companions to strike me. The inspector, however, restrained him. 1 would not be surprised it Dublin Castle finds itselt in an awkward fix when all the facts regarding the refusal to permit Constable Sullivan’s report on the evidence are placed before the English people.”” ——— Signor Crispt’s Mission, tCopuright 1887 by James Gordon Bennett.] Roume, Oct. 8,—(New York Herald Cable— Special to the BEE.]—-1 am able to confirm the rumor that Signor Crispi’s mysterious journey to Friederichsrue is directly con- nected with the attempt to settle the Roman question, In fact Bisnarck invited Crispi to undertake the journey to prepare a reconcili- ation between the pope and King Humbert, and so umte the German Catholics and Protestants. Bismarck has long been ma- neuvering to obtain the advantages attaching to the position of protector of the papacy, and a few days ago King Humbert wss offi- cially, though secretly, informed that B marck would be glad to negotiate a reconcili- ation on the basis of a cession to the pope of all or a part of Rome situated on the lefi bank of the Tiber. What other motive Bi marck may have in raisingthe Roman ques tion at this particular time remains to be seen, but I am gssured from ecclesiasties who have the credit of enjoying the holy father’s congderce, that Leo XIIL inclines to the belief that such a small concession is not sufticient for the dignity of the holy see.

They captured about sixty herd of ponies, and the Crows were celebrating their return when Agent H. E. Williamson orderea his police to arreat the entire party for horse stealing. This in- censed the Iudians to such an evtent that they commenced firing into the agency, riddling the building with bullets, but for- tunately no one was hurt.

Needs In tvigating. WAsHINGTON, Oct. 8.—A dispatch from Acting Adjutant General Vin®ent at St Paul was to-day received at the war depart- ment through General Terry, stating that a number of Crow Indians had just returned from a raid on the Piegans, to theiz agency in Montana and had fired into theagency build- ings, and were defiant and hostile. The azent was upable to arrest them with his Indian police and requested the military to be sent. ‘I'wo troops were immediately dis- patehed from Fort Custer, but they found the condition of atfairs more serious than was expected and were unable to effect the arrest of the Indians. The departmentcommander was appealed to for instructions, In for- warding the dispatch General Terry makes the following endorsement: *1 find it dificult to understand this action of the Crows. They have always been well disposed and well behaved except in re- sveat to their feuds with other tribes. In our Sioux troubles they were faithful and efficient allies, I fear tuere may be some cause for the present excitement that is not disclosed by the foregoing dispateh and think it would be the best policy to delay attempts to make arrests until the excitement shall have abated. The Indian bureau should send to the agency one of its most capable and trusted inspectors to examine and re- port upon the situation. 1 have instructed the commanding oflicer at Fort Custer to con- fine tne action of the troops until further orders to the protection of the agent, his em- ployes and the agency property.” 1t is surmised thatthe trouble arose from an attempt by the agent to prevent the Indians from having their sun dance when they were in o state of frenzy and following their vie- torious campaign against their old time foes —the Pieans, e A RELIGIOUS LUNATIO.

CuicAGo, Oct. 8.—|Special 'Telegram to the Brk.|—A national salute of thirty-eight guns announced the formal opening of Camp Sheridan at 2 o'clock this afternoon. ‘This salvo was fired by Major Rodney's bat- tery of United States artillery. The grounds were found so much in the condl- tion of a dismal swamp to run the artillery pieces out of the spot where they had been “parked” in the camp over tothe parade ground in front of the grand stand. The managers did not want the parade ground plowed up by the heavy artillery wheels. ‘The salute was therefore heard better than seen by the small crowd of spectators which had assembled. When the thundering of the guns had died away and the entire mili- tary and naval forces, numbering about 1,300 men, had been massed on the green facing the elub house, the first order of Henry AL Black, commandant, was read by Colonel Charles King, his chief of staff, declaring the taking of command and bestowing the name - of the hero of Winchester on the camp. The Stars and Stripes had been run up on a freshly planted pole in the center of the parade ground and fluttered gayly in the west wind that swept strongly over the tented field. 'Then there was a tremendous burstof musje. Never was the “Star Span- gled Banner” belched forth from the throats of brass more lustily. There were pmhnblly 2,000 musicians in the mastodian band. While the inspiration of music was still upon the crowd Mayor Roche was brought for- ward and delivered an address of welcome, All is not going smoothly at the camp. ‘the foreign troops who traveled all the way from Norway, Sweden and Denmark were assigned to quarters in the new patent port- able branch tents near the quarters of the regular United States troops. There are three of these tents and they are as comfort- able as frame cottages in comparison with the canvass tents of the rest of the troops. They have heavy floors, shelves, closets and alinost every convenience, but they were not up to the standard of comfort demandea by the continental visitors. The Danish and Norweglan contingents tried to sleepin their barrack tents after the storm of rain, thunder and lightning came up, but it was no use. They shivered with cold and by and by the searching rain bezan to drive through the chinks and soak ti.eir blankets. Ihis was beyond endurance. The Danish and Nor- weglan guests rose and deserted the ters, returning to the eity and xoekm{ the Sherman house. They were still at their treatment to-day. ~ They stood about the camp and gesticulated in groups most wildly, their brilliant uniforms and constant chatter attracting much attention. 'I'he Swedish detachment braved it out in their tent all night and uttered no compiaint. One of the Danish officers, speaking of the affair to-day, said with great brevity and emphasis: “They treat officers like gentle- men in onr country.” Colonel Charles King, of the United States army, and chief of Colonel Black’s staff, said: * “1 am very sorry the forelgn officers have not been taken care of in a manner to suit themn, but we of the United States army_are not to blawme for it.” Continued Colonel King: “We are not here to manage the encampment. We offered them the barrack tents, the best tho United States uflords‘ but if they prefer to stay in hotels we can’t go Jown ‘In our pockets and say, ‘Here, gentlemen, is some good United States nioney : you can go to the hotels et the best théy have to entertain you. is the business "of General Bentley and the managers of this camp to look after their distinguished guests and see that ceive the trentment and courtesy becomes their station,” Colonel King says thatata rough estimate there are now prob- ably twenty-five hundred uniformed men in , but he added, as a saving clause: *I swear to it. The fact is, there is searcely more than halt that number present, while the management have been talking ahout 8,000 or 10,000 here, Nearly one-tnird of the 1,300 persons are members of brass bands, and not soldiers at all.” S Close of a Successful Fair, SEwARrD, Neb, Oct. 3.—[Special to the Ber.]—The fifteenth annual exhibition of the Seward county agricultural society closed Saturday. 1t was a success, although in some departments the exhibits were light.

No place suitable for their purpose could be obtained in this city, and finally the great skating rink at Unlon Hill, Na# Jersey, was hired. The meeting was fixed for yesterday afternoon. 'The call tor the meeting ended as follow “*Citizens, Workingmen—In all parts of the. United States we hear the echo, no it must never be that seven innocent men should be judicially murdered. The masses are unit- ing in every city and town to protest against the verdict of an erring and corrupt jury! Let us not fail to enter our veto against this jndicial murder! Let every one of you at- tend this meetinz! ~ There is no excuse for ruur absence, only a coward will remain at home. It is the least that you can do to say to this rabble of thieves and wurderers who rule you: *Thus far, and no further.’” ‘I'he authorities decided the meeting was treasonable in intents and ordered the chiet of police to have his entire force at the rink at 2 o'clock and take possession of it. The result was that there were fully one hundred and fifty uniformed and un-uniformed ofti- cers present when the anarchists arrived, ‘The crowd surged about the entrance and sought to force their way in, but the police used their clubs vigorously and beat them back. Finally a number of the more hot heafed of tne anarchists raised the ery, ter the hall or wade through blood,” and they mude a grand rush. The police knocked several of the foremost down and while the fight was hot the town clerk, Ferdinana Ahlers, mounted a box and in loud tones pro- ceeded to read the riot act as he had been di- rected to do in such an emergency by the sheriff. 'This had a quieting effect ‘on" the mob for a moment, but hardly had he finished when there came a yell of “I7amn your riot act or your constitution. Down with blue coated ruffians,” and the mob, some with knives unsheathea and others with revolvers drawn, charged upon the police. They were met by the ofticers with club whacks over the heads and hands and driven back. Shots were fired, and several person! were severely injured by knite thrusts ana stone cuts. 'T'he police drove the erowd back and Chiet Schwartz told them that it was useless to attempt to hold a meeting.
