Cotton
Buyers.
There may not be enough
cotton in your locality to
justify shipping direct to the
mills, or for export. If so,
ship it to us and you will get
good results.
Houston is always a good
market, but especially so the
latter part of the cotton sea-
son, for reasons well known
to the fraternity.

Received With Great Enthusiasm.
Mrs. McKin ley's Reception—Other
Incidents of the Day.
the core and this union, a third of a cen-
tury ago so nearly disrupted, was now
bound to stand for all time, the boom of
applause and the roar of enthusiasm was
something long to be remembered and grat-
ifying to every northerner.
A variation on "Our Old Kentucky Home
was fitting prelude to the speeches, which
were opened by Hon. John W. Thomas,
president of the exposition, who was master
of ceremonies on the auditorium stage.
President Thomas was very brief, but ex-
tended the heartiest of welcomes to the
president, whose presence as the chief ma-
gistrate of the greatest nation on earth was
a high honor; to the members of the cab-
inet, to Governor Bushnell and visiting
Ohloans, and to the representatives of the
press.
Mr. Thomas then introduced Governor
Taylor of Tennessee as "Our Bob," and his
appearance was the signal for loud cheers,
and whose witty remarks provoked much
laughter.
Governor Taylor was followed by Hon.
W. L. McCarthy, mayor of Nashville, who
added to the welcome given, and he in turn
by Senator W. T. Clarke, president of tho
Ohio centennial commission. After a musi-
cal interlude Governor Asa S. Bushnell of
Ohio, evidently a well known figure to many
of the audience, was introduced, his bow be-
ing followed by a flattering reception.
When the apolause that followed Gover-
nor Bushtnell had subsided, President Thom-
as introduced the great figure of the occa-
sion. and Mr. McKlnley's face lit up as the
audience rase en masse and shouted out
cheer after cheer. To the correspondents,
who joined most heartily in the ovation, the
scene recalled a national convention when
the name of some national favorite is men-
tioned in a nominating speech. For several
minutes the cheering continued and tho
president could only stand, smile and wait.
At last quiet came, and in a clear, pene-
trating voice and with more gesture than is
his wont, the chief executive spoke.

Nashville, Tenr,., June 11.—At 8 o'clock
this morning the presidential tour merged
into the centennial celebration of the ad-
mission of Tennessee into the union. As
early as 5 a. m., when the train reached
Bowling Green, a crowd had assembled,
and an artillery salute was fired. Although
this was somewhat to the discomfort of
thosa who wished to sleep, no great harm
was done, and the presidential party, in
good health and spirits, was ready to re-
ceive the greetings, official and popular, at
the Nashville railway station, where thous-
ands were assembled, many hundreds of
them being in uniform. The party was
driven speedily to the Maxwell, and there
provided with accommodation and break-
fast. The officials of the Chesapeake and
Ohio and of the Pullman company were re
cipients of many hearty congratulations
before the beautiful train which bore all
so safely and so swiftly over the 857 miles
traversed from Washington hither was left
for good and all. Hence to Chattanooga,
Nashville and Washington the Southern
will be used.
As soon as breakfast was over the presi-
dential party was ushered into carriages
from the Church street entrance of the
Maxwell house and the line was soon
formed, the press and many gorgeously at-
tired members of the governor's staff oc-
cupying three huge tallyho coaches. In
the first carriage were President McKinley,
Mrs. Van Dear Kirkman, president of the
woman's board, and Major W. J. Thomas,
president of the centennial company. In
other carriages were the secretaries and
distinguished guests and the ladies of the
party, each accompanied by a prominent
local gentleman or lady, among them being
Director General Lewis, General W. H
Jackson, Mrs. J. W. Thomas, Mrs. R. F_
Weakley, Mrs. Norman Farrel, F. J. Keath,
Colonel Thomas Fite, E. H. Barthell, Mrs.
Mary Paul McGuire, M. B. Pitcher, Myer
McCarthy, Mrs. John Ruhman and Mayor
Maekinson of Cleveland, O.
The main procession formed on Broad
street, a very handsome thoroughfare, the
upper end of which is lined with handsome
residences and beautiful trees, the grounds
of Vanderbilt university being especially
roHoer.hle* A<* •»'<;* hu,..oi u>-4h« ^pres-
ident, a mounted detachment of ex-confed-
erates, commanded by Captain George
Enager, ranged themselves immediately in
front of his carriage. They wore the old
time gray, but the buckles of their belts
bore the insignia "U. S." in the rear line
of carriages marched the battalion of the
Sixth infantry, under command of Colonel
Minor, sent from Fort Thomas, and headed
by their fine band. State troops and a par-
ticularly fine looking body of the Cincinnati
police, under the command of their chief,
made up the uniformed part of the parade.
Tho streets were lined with admiring
thousands, and. as this is pre-eminent.lv an
educational center, a large proportion of
the crowds were made up of students of
both sexes and of both races.
As the head of the procession turned into
the main entrance of the exposition grounds
a battery of artillery boomed forth the
national salute of forty-five guns. It was
within the grounds, and led by the Centen-
nial chimes, which rang forth from the
top of the administration building, the en-
thusiasm reached its climax. That enthusi-
asm was shared by the visitors to the lull,
and to them was the added incentive of the
beauty of the buildings and the grounds,
which burst upon them for the first time.
Certainly Tennessee in general and Nash
ville in particular are justified in the pride
felt and expressed over the work they
have accomplished. The buildings—the
Parthenon particularly—are beautiful in de-
sign and finish, extensive far beyond what
was believed possible when the exposition
was in embryo, and filled with exhibits
that would bo creditable to any fai" of any
nation on earth.
The auditorium, in which the exercises
of the day were held, will seat comfortably
7500 people, and fully 20 per cent of that
number were added to-day in the crowds
that filled the unseated part of the- gal
leries. it was a representative, intelligent
and noteworthy gathering—one which in-
spired the speakers to their best efforts
and was particularly appreciative of any
paragraph or phrase which dwelt upon the
glories of our nation.
That it was hot no one can truthfully
deny, and all would gladly have deprived
themselves of some of the brilliance of the
cloudless sky for the cooling shade even
of a threatening cloud. But heat could not
check the ioyousness and enthusiasm,
wandering band played "Dixie" just before
the last gun of the salute announced the
president's arrival on the grounds, ami the
air, loved for its associations by southern
ers and for its suggestive melody by north
erners, brought out. a wave of hearty
cheers. They were but murmurs, however,
compared to the mighty roar bursting forth
us William McKinley, president of the
United States, with Mrs. Kirkman, beauti
fully gowned in summery materials, walked
down the aisle and on the platform.
Generous was the applause given also to
the members of the cabinet and distin-
guished visitors, including Governor Bush
nell and staff of Ohio, while to Governor
Taylor, "Our Bob," as they term him
generous outburst was awarded. Commis-
sioner of Pensions H. Clay Evans, a nativ
Tennessean, was also the recipient of hear-
ty cheers.
Mrs. McKinley had wisely concluded not
to accompany the party in the procession,
and great was the disappointment ex-
pressed at her non-appearance. When she
did coino it gave rise to one of the most
delightful Incidents of the trip. Governor
Bushnell was in the middle of his speech,
when a cheer, swelling from back of the
auditorium and then communicating to the
main lloor and the galleries, showed that
some event of extraordinary interest was
transpiring. A moment later Mrs. McKin-
ley appeared in the central aisle, leaning
on the arm of Mr. James R. Dunn and ac-
companied by her aunt, Mrs. Sax ton, and
Mrs. John Hill Atkin. Governor Bushnell
gracefully yielded the floor, and the Im-
mense audience was on its feet in a mo-
ment cheering most lustily. The cheers
were redoubled when this gentle lady of
the white house reached the platform and
the outstretched hands of her husband, who
hurried to meet hei* and greet her and con-
duct her to a seat by his side. Secretary to
the President John Addison Porter and
wife being immediately behind her. A huge
bunch of roses was handed Mrs. McKinley
from the auditorium floor, and as she
bowed and smiled her thanks the crowd
again broke into cheers.
Incidental to the speaking which followed
was the applause which greeted any refer-
ence to Tennessee's loyalty to the union.
And when President McKinley declared
that Tennessee's sons were now loyal to
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY'S SPEECH.
The president said:
Officers of the Tennessee Centennial Ex-
position, Ladies and Gentlemen: American
nationality, compared with that of Europe
and the east, is still very young, and yet
already wo are beginning to have age
enough for centennial anniversaries in
states other than the original thirteen. Such
occasions are always interesting, and when
celebrated in a practical way are useful
and instructive. Combining- retrospect and
review, they recall what has been done by
state and nation and podnt oui what yet re-
mains for both to accomplish in order to
fulfill their highest destiny.
This celebration is of general interest to
tho whole country and of especial signifi-
cance to the people of the south and west.
It marks the end of the first century of the
state of Tennessee and the close of the first
year of its second century. One hundred
and one years ago this state was admitted
into the union as the sixteenth member in
the great, family of American common-
wealths. It was a welcome addition to the
national household—a community young,
strong and hardy, with an honored and
heroic ancestry, and with fond anticipa-
tions, not only of .its founders, but further
in the success of It on the part of far seeing
and sagacious statesmen in all parts of the
country. I am justified la saying that these
anticipations have been grandly realized,
that the present qlf this community of ster-
ling worth is even brighter than prophets
of the past had dared to forecast it.
The builder** of the state, who had forced
their way through the trackless forests of
this splendid domain, brought with them
the same high ideals and fearless devotion
to home and country, founded on resistance
to oppression, which have everywhere made
illustrious the Anglo-American name.
Whether it was the era of Virginia or that
of North Carolina matters little to them.
They came eager and willing to fight for
independence and liberty, and in the war of
the revolution were ever loyal to the stand-
ard of Washington. When their representa-
tives served in the colonial assembly of
North Carolina they chose—for the first time
in our country, so far as 1 know the great
name of Washington for the district in
which they,lived, and at the close of the
revolution sought to organize their terri-
tory into a state to be known as the state
of Franklin, in grateful homage to the name
of another of its most distinguished patriot
commoners. Spain had sought to possess
their territory by ri^Nltf discovery as a
part of Florida. France claimed it by right
of cession as a part of Louisiana, and Eng-
land as hers by conquest. But neither con-
tention could for an instant be recognized,
Moved by the highest instincts of self gov-
ernment and the loftiest motives of patriot-
ism, your forefathers bravely vindicated
their honor and gloriously won their inde-
pendence.
Thus came the new state, second only
then of the now mighty west and south-
west. And it has made a wonderful history
for itself. Tennessee has sometimes been
called the "mother of southwestern states-
men." It furnished us the Immortal Jack-
son. whose record in war and whose admin-
istration of peace as the head of the great
republic shine on with the advancing
years. The century has only added to the
luster of his name, increased the obliga-
tions of his countrymen and exalted him
In their affections. Polk and Johnson were
also produced in this great state, and many
more heroes of distinguished deeds whoso
names will como unbidden to your memories
while I speak.
Tennesseans have ever been volunteer,
not drafted, patriots. In 1846. when 24<X)
soldiers were called for. 30,000 loyal Ten-
nesseans offered their services, and amid
tho trials and terrors of the great civil
war, under conditions of peculiar distress
and embarrassment, her people divided on
contending sides. But on whichever side
found they fought fearlessly to death and
gallant sacrifice. Now, happily, there aro
no contending sides common in this glori-
ous commonwealth or in any part of our
country. Tho men who opposed each other
in dreadful battle a third of a century ago
aro once more and forever united together
under one flag In a never to be broken
union.
The glory of Tennessee is not alone in
the brilliant names it has contributed to
history or heroic patriotism displayed by
the people at so many crises of our national
life, but its material ami industrial wealth,
social advancement and population are
striking and significant in their growth and
development. Thirty-five thousand* settlers
in this state in 1790 had increased to 1,100,000
in 1860, and .to-day there Is a population
c'.osely approximating 2.000,000. Its manufac-
tures, which in 1860 were small and unim-
portant, in 1890 had reached $72,000,000 in
value, while its farm products now aggre-
gate more than $62,000,000 annually, lis
river commerce on three great internal
waterways, Its splendid railways operating
nearly 3000 miles of road, Its mineral wealth
of incalculable value, form a splendid au-
gury for the future. I am sure, no better
workmen could be found than the people of
Tennessee to turn these confident promises
into grand realities. Your exposition shows
better than any words of mine can tell the
details of your wealth, of resources and
power of production. You have done wise-
ly in exhibiting these to your own people
and to your sister states, and at no time
could tho display be more effective than
now, when what the country needs moro
than all else is restored confidence in Itself.
This exposition demonstrates directly your
own faith and purpose and signifies in the
widest sense your trust and unfailing be-
lief in the irrepressible pluck of the Amer-
ican people, and is a promising indication
of the return of American prosperity.
The knowledge which this beautiful and
novel exposition gives will surely stimulate
competition, develop your trade, increase
your output and enlarge your fields of em-
ployment, extend your markets, and so
eventually pay for all it cost, as well as
justify local sentiment and encourage state
pride.
Men and women I see about me from all
parts of the country, ami thousands more
will assemble before the exposition is
closed. Let ourselves and let them always
remember that whatever differences about
politics may have existed, or still exist, wo
are all Americans before we were partisans,
and value the welfare of all the people
above party or section. Citizens of differ-
ent states, we yet love all the states. The
lesson of the hour then Is this: Whatever
adverse conditions may temporarily im-
pede the pathway of our national progress,
it. can not permanently del eat it.
After the conclusion of the ceremonies in
the auditorium, which were very much add-
ed to by the music of the Innes band, the
president and some of his party visited the
Parthenon, which is the art repository and
the children's building, and then repaired
to the West Side club house, a handsome
structure near the administration building
and fronting the Parthenon. In the ladies'
parlor there, Mrs. McKinley held an in-
formal reception. Later in the; afternoon
she and the president gave a reception to
women only in the woman's building.
During the luncheon the residents in
'Vanity fair," which is similar in many re-
spects to the "Midway Plaisance" at Chi-
fo, formed a unique procession and
marched past the clubhouse, on the gal-
leries of which tho luncheon was served,
and a good view could be obtained of the
imels, Asiatics. Chinamen and old time
negroes, together with the giant representa-
tion of a dragon, which attracted attention
from the most distinguished dignitaries.
When the luncheon drew to a close there
were general demands for speeches from one
or another of the. men of national promin-
ence present, and Governor Bushnell, Gov-
ernor Taylor. Secretary Sherman, Colonel
C. H. Grosvenor, Mayor McKisson of Cleve-
land and Colonel Charles 11. Bryan of Il-
linois responded. All the speeches were in
light vein, suitable to the occasion, anil
many lively sallies and humorous allusions
met with appreciative reception.
From 6 till 7.30 in the evening, and im-
mediately following the reception by the
^resident and his wife in the woman's build-
ng, the visiting newspaper brethren were
heartily entertained by their local brethren
in the press building.
At. 8 o'clock a fine display of fireworks
covering the lake and on its shores was
viewed by Mr. a.nd Mrs. McKinley and their
party from the steps of the Parthenon. Tho
distinguished sightseers were guarded by
a cordon of regulars, and evidently greatly
enjoyed the exhibition. Their enjoyment
was shared by thousands who densely
packed all the available space.
Not at all inferior to tlie fireworks was
the illumination of the principal structures,
there being a notable profusion of search-
lights. The fireworks over, the president,
wife and suite returned to the city, tired and
a little worn out by the heat, but ready to
accord the day a high place in the calendar
of remembrance.

THE HUNTS VILLE TROUBLE.
Petition for a Speedy Trial ol' the
Negroes Granted.
Huntsville, Ala., June 11.—The trouble and
worry caused by the presence of the two
negroes, Thompson and Neville, seem to be
almost over. Sheriff Ryan of Morgan coun-
ty, with a committee of prominent citizens,
arrived here to-day, bringing a petition
which was presented to Circuit Judge H. ('.
Speake, asking that he call a special term
of court and give the negroes the quickest
trial possible. The petition was signed by
from 800 to 1000 citizens of Morgan county
without a moment's hesitation. Judge
Speake gave instructions that a special
term of court be called. The court can not
be held for thirty days yet, as it has to be
advertised for that length of time.
Sheriff Ryan said to-night: "1 think this
ends the trouble. What my people asked
for they have been given, and I am sure
they will not go back on their words, if
the negroes are tried and sentenced to
death the case will not be interfered with.
If they are acquitted or sentenced to life
imprisonment the mob will hang them."

DOM BAY MASSACIIE.
British Soldiers mid Otllcers Killed by
Hostile Natives.
Bombay, June 11.—Advices received from
Simla, residence of the Indian government
officials during the heated periods of tho
year, announce serious trouble on the
northern frontier, and the massacre of a
number of British officers and native sol
dlers in the government's employ. From
particulars obtained at present, it seems
that, two guns, belonging to the Bombay
mounted battery, escorted by UOO men, be-
longing to the first regiment of Sikhs arid
the First Punjab infantry, were trencher
ously attacked in the Trochl valley by 1
large force of hostile natives. The first re
ports said Colonel Bunney, two officers and
25 privates were killed, and three officers
and 25 men wounded, indications are that
the affair was more than an ordinary con
flict with warlike natives, and the notorl
ous mullah of Powlndah Is at the bottom of
the trouble.
The latest advices say that all ihitish
officers were severely wounded. Captain
Browne and Lieutenant Crookshank of the
Royal artillery were killed, and Surgeon
lllgglnson, Lieutenant lligginson of th
First. Sikhs, and Lieutenant Seaton Brown
of the Punjab infantry were wounded.
A second dispatch does not mention the
death of Colonel Bunney, but from the fact
that It says Colonel Gray from Miranshah
has taken over the command of tie* British
forces engaged, It is Inferred that Colonel
Bunney was also among the dead, as at
first announced.
REPORT CONFIRMED.

Argentina Preparing for War.
New York, June 11.—A special to the Her-

The government of Argentina has been of
tieially informed that the gunboat Suare

of Uruguayan troops on the Argentina
coast. After the troops had been lauded th
Suarez sunk a vessel Hying the llag of Ar
gent ina.
Immediately upon receipt of this Infor-
mation an Argentina gunboat was ordered
to proceed to the point where the troops
were landed and capture tie Suarez if pus
sible if she was still In Argentina water.-
No report has yet been received by the of
lleials as to the result of the chase.
Argentina has Issued energetic orders t
her army and navy and there is great act
Ivlty in those departments. Every prcpa
ration is being made for war. The Her
aid's correspondent in Montevideo, l'ru
guay, says that the rebels are concentratin,
their forces and a decisive battle with tli
government troops Is imminent.
Commenting upon these dispatches tli
Herald says: The. only recent dispute b<
t ween Uruguay and Argentina arose during
tho last part of ISM. It was then du
filibustering expeditions from Argentin
bearing arms, ammunition and stores to th
Uruguayan rebels.
Since the revolution in Uruguay bega
there has been much sympathy in Argen-
tina for the rebels and this sympathy found
a substantial form In the shape of arms
and ammunition for them. Tills feeling
gradually grew until in December of K
there vwere open demonstrations in Argen-
tina and threats were made against th
government of Uruguay. What aro know
as tho white and red parlies took promi-
nent parts at fostering this feeling against
Uruguay, and finally the matter became >
serious that Uruguay made a protest t
Argentina. In spite of this, however, th
filibustering continued and the result
been strained relations between the tw
countries.

in the unavoidable position of assuming the
national public powers. Notwithstanding
tills, in the fulfillment of my duty, I will
not fail to continue firm in my endeavor
to maintain order and the liberties of in-
dividuals which our constitution and laws
prescribe, hoping for the aid of good citi-
zens to continue, advancing the moral and
material progress, realizing that the future
true happiness of the republic shall con-
tinue and opposing violent and extreme
measures.
"I have no other ambition than the ful-
fillment, in the best possible manner, of the
obligations imposed on me by my condition
as a son of the people and the high office,
conferred by a vote of the majority. The
executive remains under the strictest obli-
gations to execute well the understood in-
terests of the nation. I will fulfill the ob-
ligation until the national assembly is con-
ned.
•For the knowledge of all let this mani-
festation be declared publicly."
