SAN JOSE, April 30.—San Jose is now in a position to compete with other cities in a manufacturing line, ha mited supply of electrical power at command. This advantage was aug- mented last night, when the Standard Electrical Company sent a current of 60,000 volts over its lines from Blue Lakes to this city, a distance of 184 miles, beat- g the world’s record for long-distance smission of electricity. This feat, s merely to test the wires, was ssful, and in a few days, power will upplied to.this city for manufacturing after 8 o'clock the current was d into the bay counties circuit at the house on the Mokelumne River, its in the stations at Oakland and here responded to the magic current. The cur- t was sent to Oakland and from there by way of Mission San Jose. A rights of way can be procured and lines constructed the power will be to San Francisco, thus making a of more than 235 miles.

QUICK PASSAGE THROUGH ALABAMA Great Enthusiasm Shown at Every Station Dur- ing Train’s Brief Stops STEVENSON, Ala., April 30.—The Pres- idential train arrived at Stevensoneal 7:10 o'clock this morning on schedule time. At almost every station passed during the night crowds of people, who had re- mained up to see the Presidential special, cheered the train as it sped by. Several hundred people were' at the station at Stevenson despite the early hour. The President, who had already arisen, ap- peared and bowed his acknowledgements, At Huntsville. HUNTSVILLE, Ala, April 30.~The scenes attending the passage of the Pres- idential train along the route to-day were a repetition of those yesterday. Crowds at every way station cheered and waved to the passing train and every farm- house and cross roads had its group of eager watchers. At Huntsville a stop of f~n minutes was made.

IN MISSISSIPPI Peopleat Decatur and Tus- cumbia Cheer Party and Crowd Around the Train CORINTH, Miss.,, April 30.—Between Decatur and Tuscumbia the Presidential train was stopped to permit the party to be photographed. The operators at Deca- tur and Tuscumbia had not been notified of the intended stop and when the train did not appear at Tuscumbia on schedule time the operator there flashed the news along the line, ‘President’s train lost. The report even reached the home office For several minutes the s flashed messages back and forth the officials were becoming alarmed over the whereabouts of tie President. Finally the train appeared at Tuscumbia and the operator reported it safe. At Decatur President McKinley said: The attention of the people of the South and the warmth of their welcome have been ko tant since we started from the Capital City yesterday morning that words seem Door indeed_to express our gratitude and apprecia- tion. We have no North, no South, no East, no West, but are all Americans. No solid South and no solid North, save when solid for the flag and the Union. I have been glad to note as I traveled through this sectlon of our beloved country the great progress and prosperity everywhere evidenced. This country has been signaily blessed. We have everything. God has been good to us. He has given to us & heritage which awaits our development, to_preserve this to liberty forevér and forever. 1 am sure you will be very glad to meet the Secretary of State and other members of the Cabinet, who are accompanying me on this journey, and I have the, pleasure of present- ing to You Mr. Hay, whdse name has been so conspicuously assoctated with the open door in China for your products. One of the pretty incidents of the stop at Decatur was the presentation on be- balf of the ladies of Decatur of a .oving cup and a basket of trout to Mrs. Mc- Kinley by Andrew and Miss Mary Frye, two of her old school friends at Canton. Colonel R. H. Adams, as the personal rep- resentative of Governcr Sam Ford, who is ill, boarded the train here to- escort the President to the Mississippi State line. In Tuscumbia. At Tuscumbia the crowd about the Pres- ident's car was so dense that, by Mr. McKinley's direction, several of the chil- dren who were in danger of being crushed were lifted over the rail to the platform. Many of the old Confederate veterans fought for the honor of grasping the Pres- ident’'s hand. As the President was about to begin his remarks there wcre cries of “Put the flags down,” referring to the flags held by children who were near the car, at which the President exclaizied: ‘‘Never lower that flag."” When the cheering had subsided he said: My Fellow Citizens: § wish 1 had words in which to express the feklings of my heart for this more than kindly weicome on the part of the people of this city. In all our traveling through the South we have been showered with kindness, and we have been made fo feel every hour of the day that if there ever was any doubt in the past there is no doubt row that we are one people, one in hope, in sentiment, in purpose and undying devotion to our coun- try and its standard, and the Government rests upon the people, for they are sovereign. We are your agents. The dent and the Con- gress are but the representatives of the public will, and so long as the people are united, so long as their homes are virtuous, so long as the public schools of our country continue to educate the children in the paths of patriotism and loyalty and intelligence and morality, so long will this great Government rest secutely and sdvance triumphantly to its highest des- | 8t.

Even Union Pacific interests to-day admitted that the buying could be explained on .no other | men of this city and Watsonville pald | theory than that an effort had been made | their licenses under protest. to get control of the property. It was declared that control had not yet actually passed, but it was admitted that in the next few dGays it might be developed that new interests had secured enough of the shares to place them in control of the property. Wall street has held very generally to the theory that the Union Pacific has been acguired by W. K. Vanderbilt. Prices Are Swept Upward. A resistless tide of buying orders was poured inito the stock market at' the open- ing this morning, marking an additional stage in the progress of the speculative craze which seems’ to have seized upon the people “so that the foreign speculator did not get the millions but you did.” e =i TWO TRAINS.WILL COME FROM OHIO One Will Bear Congress- men and Other to Carry Gov. Nash and Party CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 30.—In addi- tion to the Presidential train, which left Washington April 28 for the launch- ing of the battle-ship Ohio at San Fran- cisco, there will be two other trains from Ohio. General Grosvenor, who is in charge of arrangements for the Congres- sional train that will carry Ohio Con- gressmen, has announced that it would leave Cincinnati on Friday night, May 3, reaching New Orleans May 5 and Los Angeles May 8, joining the Presidential riy at the latier place and arriving with it_at San Francisco about May From New Orleans the Congressional train will travel over the Southern Pacific to San Francisco and thence to Portland, Or. The Congressional train will return via the National Park to St. Paul over the Northen Pacific. Among the Con- gressmen booked for this train are: Gros- venor, Bromwell, Brenner, Nevin, Gor- don, Meekison, Smook, Hilderbrant, Ly- brand, Warock, Southard, Tompkins, Mc- Dowell, Cassingham, Dick and others, with families. The Ohio train bearing Governor Nash and staff, the Ohio commission in chatge of the launching and others, leaves Co- lumbus May 4, via the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern, through Cincinnati, Louis and Kansas Clty, thence via Santa Fe to Los Angeles, where it also joins the Presidential party and goes with it to San Francisco, and returus via Chi- cago. sk B Dk TACOMA’S WELCOME TO THE PRESIDENT Will Be Driven Around the City to See Al the Sights and Industries TACOMA, April 30.—The President will be in Tacoma for six hours, and $2000 will be spent in his reception and entertain- ment. The keynote of the Tacoma endeavor ‘will be to keep the Presidential party free from annoyance. Everybody who desires will be given a chance to see the chief ex- ecutive, and perhaps to hear him speak, but in all probability no one outside of the reception committee (which, by the way, is composed of the unlucky number of thirteen members) will be allowed to get close enough to the President to speak to him or shake hands with him. An exception will be made in favor of the school children. Mr. McKinley will be brought into close proximity with them, for his Visit means more to them than to any one else. The President will arrive in Tacoma by train from Olympia at 4 c’clock p. m., May 23. The train will be stopped probably at the Pacific avenue cruas{n{. where car- riages and the executive tnd rsception committees and none others will be in waiting. With the members of the Cab- inet and their wives, press agents, - taries and invited guests, the visiting e party will be comfortably disposed in carriages with one member of the com- mittees in each carriage, so far as is prac- tiny. (Great applause.) . The President then introduced Secre. tary Wilson, who spoke of the agricul- tural progress of the State. He aroused great enthusiasm when he spoke of the fact that two years ago, en the cot. ton crop was short and was worth ml liens, the people of the South wanted to notified know it, and the administration Pictures at Half-Price.

With offerings of 4000 shares the -highest price at the open- ing was 117 and ranged downward to 113, compared with 119 for last night's close. Heavy Single Hour’s Business. | After this violent congestion at the| opening, the dealings continued on an enormous scale and the price movement was violently erratic. Quotations were in a state of flux, momentarily being up and again melting away under the ebb and flow of the enormous demand and the heavy realizing. Prices fell back in some cases by wide lapses and in only a few stocks was the recession - by slow degrees and under a steady pressure. There were equally sudden rebounds and the whole market fluctuated wildly within a range of from 1 to 2 points beiow the best. In not a few important stocks the relapse carried prices to below last night. But the belat- ed expectation of the vast accumulation of buying orders which brokers found it impossible to get in the early rush_and crush, served as a sirong sustaining force and kept bringing prices up again. By the end of the first bour the greatest strength in the market - began- to shift to new points, Union Pacific and the Grangers, Trunk Lines and Pacifics generally reced- ing somewhat, while the Southwesterns, led by Texas and Pacific and Atchison, began to assume great prominence in the trading. The large buying was commonly believed to represent efforts to secure control of som= of the great railroad sys- tems by a brilllant stroke in the open market. The dealings in the first hour were far in excess of any single hour’s business in the history of the New York matket, the sales running up to over 1,000,000 shares. For the second hour the total fell to near half a million, but left the two hours’ business still a record, with sales of 1,584,- FEMILEJEHD 54 BT Serious Predicament of “The Woman Hack- driver.” !

BUILDING FRAME FOR THE NOSEGAY SAN JOSE, April 30.—The framework for the mammoth bouquet which the la- dies will present to President McKinley through Mrs. E. O. Smith, chairman of the ladies’ auxillary committee, is in the hands of the carpénters and the work will be rapidly pushed to completion. This skeleton is made of wood and wire scréen, is thirty feet in height and ninety fest in circumference. In shape it is the hand bouquet of the present time enlarged to envrmous proportions. The base is a tele- graph poi¢ firmly imbedded deep in .the earth. Kight feet from the ground the cir- cular structure for the flowers begins. This will be first covered with canvas and then with fence wire screen. The flowers will be set in the screen with the stems resting against the canvas and a spray of water inside the globe will keep the canvas damp and the blossoms fresh. The county is being scoured by the bot- any classes of the normal school and the various high schools of the county that there may be no plant or flower that will escape the dignity of representation in this tribute to the President. inter- est in the study of botany that this com- tit'on has inspired is shown in the en- arged classes and active icipation of the pupils in the work, ch species of plant life that enters into the construc- tion of the bouquet will be analyzed by the students and listed by its common and scientific name. The entertainment committee having in charge the arrangement of the pro- gramme for the three days is suffering from an oversupply of available material, There are more good attractions to be had than there is room for or time to hold. The bicycle and automobile races are at- tracting the most attention from the un- usual number of entries of superior riders.
