SLEEPING DURING THE SERVICES People at the Home of Indig- nant at the Slight--Arrival of the Party at st. Paul Grover Misses Divine Worship. MapisoN, Wis,, Oct. 10.—[Special Tele- iram to the Ber.)—Yesterday was & com- monplace Sunday in Madison, the only ex- «eptions to the general rule being the wilted decorations on the streets, the somewhat in- creased numbers passing by the postmaster general's residence and the crowds which kathered in and about Grace Episcopal ahurch. The officials of that church had been led to believe that the president would wor- ship there and the papers had published sup- positions to that effect, which the public credited as true because they went uncontra- dicted. But the president remained relig- lously away, thercby causing great disap- pointment, as the church was crowded and hundreds of ourious people thronged the walk in front and the Capitol park acrossthe gtreet, remaining there until the services were over and the congrezation had dis- persed. The church was bandsomely deco- rated with flowers, leaves, grain in stalk, ete. for the president, The services passed off smoothly, but the congregation was not satistied. It may have been a mistaken impression, but it seemed to the casual observer that the usual prayer, “‘Bless the President of the United States,” ‘was uttered with a suspieion of emphasis. Men who had not zone to church for years were there and were badly sold as a result of trying to mix religion with sight-seel g. The only member of General Lucius Fairchud's family who attenaed services was a thirteen- year-old daughter. ‘I'ie family are all high church peonle and, are very regular in at- tendance, Their absance 1s a strong evidence that they duly recognized the slight to which they had beer subjected in being ignored at all the social events at the Vilas residence incident to entertaining the presiaent. The fallure of the president to attend chiureh, especlally after the recent squabble over cards of admission, is looked upon by the pudlic generally as a huge joke at the ex- pense of the church and those who were led toattend. The city Is grinning from ear to ear, as it were. The mother of the postmaster keneral was the only member of the Vilas’ family who attended service. The carpenters hustled the $1,500 Vilas memorial window intoa place in the church and this fast induced a popular belief that the presi- dent would surely attend. But the Vilas vew and the one directly behind it were left vacant all through the services for the pres dential party and many anxious glances were cast at them and the entrance only to meet with dianmuml.ment It now turns out that the president had no Intention of attending the Episcopal church, but had made up his mind to go with Mrs. Cleveland to the Presbyterian church, of which the latter 15 a mermber, but he was ke t up very late Satur- day night at the public reception and be- cume o fatigued that he slept till nearly 10 o'clock Sunday mornine., At 11 he was at the breakfast table and of course had to abandon all notions of zoing to church, 1t I8 no exaggeration to say that if Grover Cleveland were before the people for re- election this week the only member of Grace En!scngnl church who would vote for him would be Postmaster J. C. Gregory, and the membership embraces u koodly number of line dmnocm':l too, but they” don't have that ardent admiration for the presidential nl'rt that they had Saturday. e 'ress].—Mrs, Cleveland and Mrs. Vilas 100k carriazes at 8:30 this morning and drove to the railroad depot. The presi- dent and Colonel Vilas walked. A special train lert for St. Paul at 9 o'clock. There were a few hundred people at the sta- tion to bid them good bye, but there was no organized demonstration of any kind. Viewed By Villagers. Porrace, Wis., Oct. 10.—The president’s special train reached this peint at 10:05 this moruing and stopped five minutes. The en- tire m)pulallon was at the station and the president and Mrs, Clevela o pinttorn of the car, s1VIng the pecsle opportunity of seeing them. As many as counld get near enough shook the president’s hand. A brass band serenaded the party during its stay. At New Lisbon, NEW Li1sioN, Wis.,Oct. 10-The president’s train reached here at a quarter past eleven and stopped four minutes, Between two and three thousand people were in waiting at the station, and the time of the president was fully taken up in handshaking. Mrs. Cleveland ared at the window of the car and divided the attention with the vresident. She gracefully smiled her acknowledgments of tire greetinizs of the people. An artillery salute was fired-and the Mitchell grand army post gave the bresident three cheers as the train moved away. Twenty Minutes at Liacrosse, LaAcrossk, Wis., Oct. 10.—The president’s special train reached here at 1 o'clock. A salute of twenty-one guns was fired as the train entered the statlon. I'he throng of people, numbering six or elght thousand, awalted the arrival ot the train and lustily cheered the visitors as they alighted and crossed the platform to carriages. Steam ‘whistles of mills and steamers on the Missis- sipppl river blew their loudest, The station and the principal streets were decked with bunting. “The party were ascorted throuzh the princinal streets by the governor’s cuard, ‘The mayor aud the president of the board of trade accompanied the president in his car- riage. The entire population, with a great number from a distance, were on the streets, The train stopped twenty minutes. Arrival at St. Paul, ST, PAvL, Oct, 10.—The special train con- “taining the presidential party reached St. Paul exactly on time—at half-past 5 o’clock this evening. The run from Madison was perlaps the mostenjoyable journey the party has experienced since their departure from Washington. All had been thoroughly rested and were in the best of health and spirits, while the weather for the greater part of the day was tine. The region through which the train passed 1s one of the pleasant- est sections of the northwest. The people along the line and at the smaller stations were wucl less demonstrative than thqse of therezions earlier on the trip. They gath- ered at many points in little groups and swung thelr hats or handkerchiefs, There were few attempts at decoration, and the people seemed intent only on satisfying their desire to see the president. At Lacrosse, where the train tarried twenty minutes, there was a little gem ofa demon- stration, which was highly praised by the recipient. Though there were 10,000 people at the station, with twice as many more lin- Ing the streets of the town, the utmost order prevailed throughout. At other points where three-minute stops were made handshacking took place of a now famillar character, yet With a difference, The people jostled and erowdea, but laughed as they did’so, and per- tect vood “humor prevailed. Just north of Winoua a throng of workmen were gathered, and cne on horseback rode up to present Mrs. Cleveland with . a he lx,lslmlno uet. He reached it out nd though 1t safe in her hand, but unluckily = it was not 'nd fell to the ground. “An athletic fellow rom among the workmen - leaped into the ditch, picked up sho. owers and delivered them. T and the wgwl!'kme was rewarded with a brignt smile thusiastic cheers of his fellow- e weather to-day has lYen bracing and frosty, The crowd is unparalleled in the city’s history. A conservativo estimate places the number of strangers In town at 50,000 and pedestrianisin is attendea with difficulties, A large contingent gathered at the depot long befora the time the president’s train was due and waited patiently, When the train ulled into the depot the reception commit- [‘eo boarded the president’s car, where they found the president and Mrs, Cleveland waiting them. Escorted by the committee they came ont and proceeded down the plat- form, while the band ‘ple:{od and a battery near the depot _fir the presiden- tial salute. As Mrs, Cleveland walked down three little girls stevped forward and presented her with three lovely bouquets of pink roses. ‘L'he party then entered car- riages and was escorted to the hotel. The streets were literally jammed with u mass of humanity which surged after the carriages in great waves At the Hotel Ryan the president and party were escorted to the parlor and introduced to Mayor Smith, who delivered a brief speech of welcome, which was responded to by tha president in a strong, clear voice as follows: “1 was reminded by the invitation I received to visit the state of Minnesota and the city of St. Paul that adistinguished statesman visit- ing here in 180 spoke of this place as the center of the continent of North America, and stated his bellef that the ultimate last seat of the government ot this great conti- nent would be found somewhere not far trom the spot on which he stood, at the head of navtgation of the Mississippi river. At the time of Mr. Seward’s visit the population of your state was 172,000 and that of St. Paul, its capital city, 10,000. What shall I say, who, after twenty-saven years have passed, tind here a state containing nearly a million and A half of people and its capital with a popu- lation nnw as great as that of the state itself in 1860, And while one is considerin| this immense rmwlh he' Is actually amaze by the fact that 60 per cent or more of the Pflgullllon of the state has been added in the s and that the population of St. 'aul has more than treblea within the same time. Whether you are to have here the seat of government of thisgreat continent or not, Ido not know. Those ot us who are en- gaged 1n the business of the govern- ment at Washington are certainly not at present preparing to move here. But the seat of those things which control the government and make 1t reat are fast mov- ing this wn{. The center of the country’s population 18 rapldly moving westward, and the increase of the wealth and product of this wonderful region is more than keeping pace with the movement in your direction of the nation’s population. ‘I'he president then spoke at some length in praise of the city and state and concluded as follows: *“My visit to you being a social one, and trusting that we have a sort of friendly fecling for each other, I want to suggest to you a reason why I am particularly and personally inter- ested in St. Paul and its people. Some years ago a young girl dwelt among you and went to school. She has grown up to be & woman and is now my wife. If anyone thinksa president ought not to mention things of this sort in_ public, 1 hope he or she does mot live in St. Prul, for I don’t want to speak to anybody when 1 thank the good people of this city, because they neither mar- ried or spoiled my wife (laughter and ap- pl»\use{. and when I tell them that they are related to that in my life which: is better than all earth’s honors and distinction. Here- after you may be sure that her pleaaant recol- lection of school days will be reinforced by the no less pleasant memory of our present visit, and thus will our present interest in . Panland its kind citizens be increased and rerpem-ted.” Wiien the speech-making was concluded the party went to dinner in a private room, after which they retired to their apartments to prg’-lu for the events of the evening. At 7:45 the party again took carriages and was driven through the brilliantly illum- nated streets to the reviewing stand, where the procession passed before them. The Iobofnu clubs, mustering 1,500 ladies and gentlemen, was the most notable feature of the procession. After the procession passed the party returned to the hotel, where a gen- eral public reception was held for two hours, Commander-in-Chief Rae being among the callers, All had an opportunity to see the president at close quarters, but there was no handshaking.

A Wild Bcene Among the Knights at Minneapolis—Quinn of New York Introduces a Pro-An- archist Resolution, Powderly Left His Chalr, MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 10.—Thers was only one session of the Knights of Labor assem- bly to-day and at the call to order at 2 p. m. the committees were not ready to report. An opportunity was thus presented for bringing up the long looked tor anarchy discussions. James E. Quinn, of District Assembly No. 40, of New York, presented the following resolution under a suspension of the rules: “Considering that the development of the human mind in the nineteenth century has reached a point where public opinton is ex- pressed almost universally against capital punishment or the taking of human life by judicial process as a relic of burbarism; therefore, be it Resolved, That this convention expresses sorrow that the men in Chicago were doomed to death and use every endeavor to secure a commutation of the sentence ot death passed upon them,”” . ‘The convention was at once thrown into the wildest excitement, scores of delegates trying at the same time to obtain the floor. General Master Workman Powderly decided the resolution out of order. Joseph Vans, of Pittsburg, appealed from the decision. The appeal was lost by a vote of 151 to 52, Before the appeal was taken Mr. Powderly called General Worthy Foreman Griffith, of Chicago, to the chair, and in a short but vehement speech called upon the convention to defeat the resolution. He said no true Kuight of Labor couid be an anarchist. Ile appealed to delegates in im- passioned words not to pervert the purposes of the order by the passage of any such reso- lutions. It was the hottest speech Powderly was ever known to make. Quinn, who offered the resolution, voted aye on_the ap- peal in order to move a reconsideration. A number of other warm speeches wero made. 'This was the principal episode of the day. The general npr on of the delegates to-night is that no serious light will come up before the convention closes its work. A sharp discussiow is likely to occur over the law governing national trades districts. The fight that 1t was supposed that would be made against Powderly and other general ofticers, 1s said to have been given up. .« The Separate Party Movement. MiNNEAPoOLIS, Oct. 10.—An expression of opinion on the advisability of the labor party movement was obtained from a large num- ber of Knights of Labor to-day. The result of the interviews shows that the majority ot the general oflicers and the more conserva- tive element regard the time as not yet rips for a separate party movement, while the rank and file and the more radital of the of- ficers are eager for the Iabor party. Powderly is the general choice for president, but only a few have any idea he would accept the nomination. George is mentioned less than would be expected. A remarkably large number of those inter- viewed are republicans, or were republicans before aftiliating with the independent move- ment. There are only three or four demo- crats In the entire list. The labor vote in the whole country a year hence is put all the from fifty thousand to & Opinion is ~ about evenly as to the effect on the old parties, the idea Jnerlmpa prevailing that the democrats would suffer most. It is the almost unanimous sentiment that the Georze movement in New York this fall will defeat the democr: f not successful itself. Mr. Powderly declined to talk, but from members of the axecutive board it is learned he is opposed to a systewatic movement for a &ood while yet. Typo Troubles, . NEW York, Oct. 10.—Seven of the Brook- lyn job printing bosses to whom the new scale of wages was presented, to-day cou- ceded the scale with the exception of the clause relating to strictly job offices, The master printers’ association’ met tlis after- noon and resolved that the demand to make the hoyses strictly nnion offices could not be granted.

LoNDON, Oct. 10.—[New York Herald Cable--Special to the Bek.|—Wilson Barrett, interviewed by wire by the Herald at Derby, where he is playing, said: The story pub- lished in yesterday’s New York Times which has been sumnmarized to me by cable from an astonished friend to the effect that I married Miss Eastlank is, to put it mildly, a mistake, It isapainful statoment to make on the merest heresay, for If true would dishonor me and the memory of my late wife who is not buriea three months, and also would insult the queen, who sent me a letter of condolence, I have not only not remarried, but 1 have no intention to do so.

The Fisheries Question. WasniNGToyN, Oct. 10.—|Special Telegram to the Bek.]—Messrs. Angell and Putnam, of the fisheries commission, calied on Secretary Bayard to-day and held an extended con- sultation with that gentleman in relation to the course of the American members of the joint commission. It is understood that the conference was informal and that oniy one point was detinitely agread upon. This is in relation to the admission of Canadian fish into the markets of the United States. It was decided that under no circumstances would the American members of the commis- sion consent to any settlement of the contro- versy which contemplates the admission of Canadian fish free of duty. Mr. Bayard expects by this policy to win the support of the New England fishermen, which are at present disposed to object to any settlement whatever ~ through ~ a commission, this policy has the effect which s hoped for, it is believed that the convention which may come from the meeting of the commission will meet with more favor In the senate. 'Tle question of th e three-mile limit received very little attention to-day, and it is quite probable that this important subject will' be submitted to arbitration. There will be nothing done by the commission towards settling the seal fisheries controversies unless the American members change their present ideas. All disputes arfsing from these issues of Canadian and British sealers will be left to the courts to decide. Messrs. Angell and Putnam left the city this atternoon and will probably not return until the latter part ‘of the month, @ state department is still of the (Ylllnill“ that Sir John McDonald will be one of the British commission.

'This is a lower condition than has ever been reported, except in 181, when the average was nmnearly seven points lower ud the average yield 180 bushels. ~ The indications are now for a yleld of a small fraction over twenty bushels per acre.

The 108ses, however, fall heavily npon working people, the railway employes especially being a numerous class of deposit- ors, with whow the bank was a favorite place to loan money on uccount of the hieh rates of interest paid. ‘The bank was established in 1885 by Stebbens and Murcur. Morton E. Post purchased the business in 1883 and the business has been earried on in the name of Morton Post & Co. since that time. F. Warren and A. J. Parshall are the assigfees.

The fuilure of the bank is attributed to the ina- bility to collect large loans made to stock- men during the prosperous days of the cattle business, and while the statement made by the bank looks dncouraging, it is feared that the depositors will loose heavily.

Mr. Randall declined to discuss the propositions that may come before congress next winter, or to oucline his course of action on a tariff bill. In a general way Mr. Randall says his opinions on the revenue question are well known. He would like to see the internal revenue tax abolished. First, these are war taxes; second, because they are contrary to the genius of our government. Ha has been prepared for several years past, and is still prepared, to assist in a revision of the tariff, but wants revision to be carefully and intelli- gently mnade, and the rates readjusted 8o that the progress of American manufacturers shall not be checked and American labor robbed of ite reward. “I am,” said Mr. Ran- dall, “in favor of revision, but opposed to the destruction of the tarifr.” There has been considerable speculation of late as to the construction of the ways and means committes and rumors have been pub- lished, with strong intimations that they came from Mr. Carlisle, to the effect that Mr. Cox, of New York, would be made chairmal but your correspondent has the best of re sons for saving that Mills, of Texas, will be the head of that committee, Mr. Millsin the last congress stood next to Mr. Morrison on the committee and has had longer service on the ways and means than any of his po- litical associates. tie is an uncompromising tariff reformer and was given. prominence on the committee because of his views on the revenue question.
