EMPEROR'S GRAND MARCH.
IMMENSE OBOWDS GBEET HIM ALONG
TIE EOUTE.
The Address of Weloome by the Lord Mayor
&nd the Emperor's Reply.
Other Inoidents.
London, July 10.—[Coppright, 1891—'Asso-
ciated Press.]—The emperor, after dining
with the duke of Cambridge at Gloucester
house, finished the day at the state ball at
Buckingham palace. The duke ot Cambridge's
j dinner was largely a military and natal affair.
/ Everybody was in uniform of some branch of
the government service, excepting Lord Salis-
bury, Mr. William H. Smith and other
ministers, who were in court dress. The
emperor in a short speech made u franker
reference to the hoped allianeo in England
arising from his cordial public welcome in
this city than probably Lord Salisbury liked to
hear. Only an echo oI tho imperial words has
reached outside the official circle present, yet
the words, in some form, will soon find an
outlet. There are increasing fears that the
emperor intends the political results of his
visit shall bo of momentous consequence.
After the conclusion of the public function
to-morrow at Wimbledon the emperor will
proceed to Lord Salisbury's seat, Hatfield
house, attended by Ministers Von Bieberstein
and Lucanus, General Von Haheuke and Sir
E. Malet, the British embassador to Germany.
At the Hatfield house the prolonged and almost
daily, conferences between the English pre-
mier and the emperor's foreign secretary will
close with a conference at which tho emperor
will be present.
It will bo impossible to persuade the French
and Russian governments that all this means
anything but a practical absorption of
England in tho central European alliance.
The radical members of the house of commons
renewed their attempt to-night to try to find
out how far the English government is com-
mitted. Sir James Ferguson was asked
whether arbit rat ion with France with reference
to Newfoundland was progressing, and he
was obliged to deprecate a discussiou on the
subject and to decline the information.
Philip Stanhooe demanded a definite declara-
tion in regard to the attitude of the govern-
ment toward tho Dreibund, but got none. The
other sound radicals denounced the oj>en affil-
iation of the government with the emperor's
policy as giving France just cause for otfense.
The ministerial responses were purposely
empty of all meaning. Stanhope's sugges-
tion that the government invite Presi-
dent C'arnot to England obtained the
bold reply from Smith that the
government could not send such an invitation,
but that it would always be glad to seethe
head of the French or any other friendly na-
tion. It was an insincoro response, Smith
knowing that only tho last necessities of the
state would make the queen willing or the
court consent to receive President Carnot.
The Royal March.
London, July 10.—The inhabitants of Lon-
don and vicinity turned out in force in order
to witness the progress in state of Emperor
William from Buckingham palace to Guild-
hall and back agaiu to the palace after par-
taking of tho hospitality of tho lord mayor of
London. From the earliest hours of the
morning, in addition to the crowds of pedes-
trians flocking cityward, there were large
bodies of regular troops and volunteers to be
met marching towards tho positions they had
been assigned to occupy along the route, and
besides tho soldiers there were fully 8000 po-
licemen in motion with tho same object in
view.
At 9.30 a. m. all traffic along tho route and
through the streets borderiug it had been not
only st opped, but still more effectively brought
to a standstill by tho will of tho people, who
packed every foot of space available and who
were not to be moved under much less pressure
than of a police charge. J ust before starting on
the journey to Guildhall the emperor received
brief telegraphic and courier reports which
were brought by mounted policemen and cav-
alrymen to Buckingham palaco upon tho
position of affairs from yarious points
along the lino tho procession was
to follow. All those augured that tui
orderly and magnificent reception w ould bo
accorded tho eiuperor of Germany by the
loyal subjects of tho queon of England. Pre-
cisely at noon the royal state carriage left
Buckingham palace sparkling with gold orna-
mentation and drawn by eitfht superb postil-
lions flanked by mounted life guardsmen and
mounted police and conducted by white bo-
wiggod footmen and coachmen of immense
size.
The royal carriages upon leaving the palaco
passed toward Marlborough gate through the
lines of grenadier guards and police, backed
up by huge, swayiug, cheering crowds of peo-
ple. As tho procession left the palace from
every quarter within and without the city
boundaries, peals of bells rang out from tho
church steeples and announcod joyfully to tho
expectant masses that the imperial pageant
had commenced. Though there was great
crowds at every point the real density of tho
masses of spectators commenced at Charing
Cross and about the streets touching there.
Pall Mali, Trafalgar enure, Whitehall.
Northumberland avenue, CocKSPUr street and
Haytnarket were packed as far as the eye
Could see. Tho up Strand decorations were
superb, not through unity of design, at which
there was no attempt, but through sftcnr plen-
titudo of display. Kverv inch of tho way from
the Strand to Guildhall abounded in color.
The fronts of the buildings were everywhere
draped with flowers; innumerable lines hung
in festoous overarching the streets.
Flags, of course, were also everywhere to bo
seen and bunting of almost overy nationality
was displayed. Strange to say there was no
great, popular effusiveness of feeling apparent
until tne imperial party approached Trafalgar
square.
There a mighty roar of acclamation filled
tho air as the emperor's carriage drew near.
This wave of welcome was taken up and passed
along from street to street with tho passage of
ths state earriara into ths Strand* From
that point to Guildhnll there was an incessant
series of ovations, and doubt as to tho popu-
lar character of the reception was dispelled
long before the imperial guests entered Cheap-
side.
The lord mayor roceived the guests at the
entrance of the hall and the procession formed
and moved to tho library, wnoro the court of
common council was holu and tho recorder of
the city of London read an address to his
majesty,declaring the lord mayor and corpora-
tion desirod to otfer him a smcoro welcome;
declaring his visit to the aueeti to be an evi-
dence of the continuance of friendly and af-
fectionate relations so long existing between
the two nations—so welcoming the empress,
declaring that they heartily appreciated her
fjresence, and praying that his majesty might
ontr be spared to reign.
Trie address was protented in a splendid
gold casket, richly enameled and docked with
fjrecious stories. The emperor replied to the
ord mayor's address in the following torms:
"My lord, please roceive my heartfelt thanks
for the warm welcome extended to us by the
citizens of this ancient and noble metropolis,
I beg your lordship to kindly transmit the ex-
pressions of my feelings to those in whose
name you have spoken. I have always felt at
home lu this lovely country, being a grandson
of your queen, whoso name will be over re-
membered as thai of the noble char-
acter and lady great in wisdom
of her counsels and whoas wlgn has ooufsxrsd
lasting blessings upon England.
flls*
^ Moreover
the Baine blood runs in English as in German
veins, and following the example of my grand-
father and my over lamented father, 1 shall
always, so far as in my power, maintain tho
historical friendship existing between these—
our two nations—which, as your lordship has
mentioned, have so often been seen side by
side in defense of liberty and justice. I feel
encouraged in my task when I see that wise,
capable men, such as are gat hered here to-day,
do justice to the earnestness and honesty of
my intentions* My aim is above all. tho
maintenance of peace, for pcaco
alone can give the confidence
necessary to tho healthy development of
science, art and trade. Only so long as pcaco
reigns are wo at liberty to bestow earnest
thoughts upon the groat problems, tho solu-
tion of which in fairness and equity I consider
the most prominent duty of our time. You
may, therefore, rest assured that I shall con-
tinue to do my best to maintain and to con-
stantly increase the good relations existing be-
tween Germany and other nations. I shall
always be found ready to unite with you and
with them in common labor for peaceful pro-
gress, friendly intercourse and tho advance-
ment of civilization."
A dinner in Guildhall followed the pro-
ceedings in the library.
When the city's guests had boon somewhat
refreshed by the good things of the table,
other speeches of welcome were exchanged
over tho wire, but they were purely of a form-
al nature. Tho emperor sat on the right of
tho lord mayor and the empress was seated on
his left. At 3.20 p. m. the imperial party left
tho smoke begrimed Guildhall and returned
westward by way of the Thames embankment.
Along that really admirable thoroughfare bor-
dering "Old Father Thames," as the river is
affectionately termed, the scenes of the morn-
ing or earlier progress were repeated. On the
way to the Thames ombankment at Ludgato
circus, where the rougher element of the city
was packed in all the numerous thoroughfares
branching into that much frequented center,
there were somewhat exciting incidents.
The rowdy element had been getting up
steam on beer and gin for many hours past
and had worked itself into a frame of mind
well adapted to givo the prince of Wales or
anybody els© decidedly a warm reception.
While waiting for the heir apparent there
were a number of lively and decidedly inter-
esting free fights and scrimmages between
those London hoodlums and the police, in
which the latter generally managed to corno
out ahead. The authorities received an inti-
mation that the toughs were preparing to
give the prince of Wales a distinctly
hostile reception. When tho carriage con-
taining the prince and princess of Wales passed
through Ludgate circus it was driven at a de-
cidedly rapid pace, so much so that tho car-
riage hud passed the dangerous spot before the
main body of the crowd was aware that the
prince w as in their midst. As it was, however,
in spite of the presence of the princess of
Wales oeside him, the prince was greeted with
repeated outbursts of jeerings and hoot in gs.
In tho face of this hostile demonstration tho
prince of Wales, apparently unmoved, looked
straight to his front and passed the excited
crowd. The reception accorded to the prince
of Wales was in strong contrast to the hearty
ringing cheers with which the duke
of Connaught, his brother, was greeted,
by tho Ludgate circus crowd as tho Duke
passed over tho same ground.
There were many arrests made to-day as is
usual on largo gatherings of this description,
but the German societies »uid French anarch-
ist element was apparently absent or subdued
into a state of passive submission by
tho warnings sent out by tho
police to tho effect that any
anarchistic or socialistic outbreak would be
most severely dealt with and remembered
against agitators in tho future. As many of
the German and French "exiles" have good
reason to bo on good terms with tho authori-
ties, it is concluded that they wisely deter-
mined to refrain from giving any public ex-
hibitions of their feelings.

HEARD THE COMPLAINTS.
A BUSY DAY WITH THE RAILROAD
COMMISSION.
Bates on Bagging and Ties—Something
About the Tariff on Wheat—Going
Bight Ahead.
CiiilarenCrjf»rFltclier'sCastoria
Acstik, Tex., July 10.—The railroad com-
mission was very busy to-day hearing com-
plaints and considering applications of rail-
roads for authority to reduce rates on various
commodities.
Captain Farley of Dallas dropped in upon
the commission quite early and gave his ideas
why rates on bagging and ties should not be
so modified as to give tho Galveston manu-
facturers what he deemed an advantage.
The commission had an idea that bugging
prices are fixed by the trust and that the Texas
manufacturers have the best right to ask con-
sideration.
Hon. John H. Cochrane of Dallas was on
hand asking a modification of rates on grain.
Ho held that existing railroad tariffs are work-
ing a hardship on Texas grain growers be-
cause they force from us articles of food we
need for our own consumption by making
through rates so low and by refusing propor-
tionate rates to and from local points. The
owners are obliged to ship their grain out,
for to pay the local rates to points whore the
grain could be stored and then tho local rate
from there would add too much to the cost of
the grain. As a eousoquence we see wheat go-
ing out from Vernon to St. Louis at 30 cents per
100 pounds and from Abilene to St. Louis at
25 cents, while tho same wheat would pay
from Vernon to Fort Worth 20 cents, and if
stored and afterward forwarded to Galveston
it would pay 17H cents more, or a total of 37^
cents, or equal to 7-12 cents more than the St.
Louis rate. The distance to Galveston is 507
miles, to St. Louis '.<05 miles from Vernon.
Hon. C. C. Counellee of Kastlake dropiied
in upon the commission and had a say to the
effect that the west was satisfied with rates.
The commission, however, after hearing .Mr.
Farley and Mr. Connellee, went its own way,
as shown by its rulings. They allowed reduc-
tions of rates as follows In response to appli-
cations from railway managers:
The rate on baggii lT nd tics from Houston
and Galveston to all posits on the Galveston,
Harrisburg and San Antonio, the Texas and
New Orleans, the New York, Texas and Mexi-
can, the Gulf. West Texas and Pacific, and all
points on the Texas and Pacitio in Texas is
fixed as fifth class, with a maximum rate of 21
cents per hundred from Galveston and 16
cents from Houston.
On bagging and ties in carloads from Gal-
veston and Houston to points on the Austin
ar.d Northwestorn the rate is fixed at cents a
hundred from Galveston and 31 cents a hundred
from Houston.
On Imgging and ties from Galveston and
Houston to all points on the East Line and
Red River in canuads, 21 ceuts from Galves-
ton and 10 cents from Houston.
Wheat in carloads from all stations on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas in Texas (except
west of Gainesville and Henrietta) to Galves-
ton, 17cents per hundr. 1.

The Lake Charles Murdorers Terribly Dis-
appointment—A Bi* Crowd.
Lake Charles, La., July 10.—At noon to-
ay about 8000 persons wore on the court
house square, in front of tho jail, to witness
tho execution of tho negro murderers, Charley
Large and William Dial. They did not know
that tho governor had granted tho condemned
mon a reprieve. Only about half a dozen of
them came from Texas, and when it became
known that the governor of Texas hod ordered
the First regiment band of Orange, Tex.,
which had boen advertised as one of the at-
tractions of tho so called railroad excursion,
from Beaumont, Tex., to Lake Charles, La.,
not to accompany the excursion, there was ex-
pressed universal approval of the Texas gov-
ernor's order. The First regiment band has
many friends hero who do not believe it
would havo come here to-day even if Gov-
ernor Hogg had not issued that order.
The immense crowd, of which colored men
and colored women formed a large contingent,
was orderly and good natured. The black
painted gallows at tho northeast corner of the
jail, with its platform nearly twenty feet above
the ground and its two suggestive iron rings
iu its crossbeam was regarded with special in-
terest.
About 1.30 o'clock tho sheriff mado an
official announcement of tho reprieve.
Undoubtedly and very strangely tho con-
demned men were the most sincerely disap-
pointed persons in Lako Charles. At 2 o'clock
p. m. they wero interviewed in jail by your
correspondent. Standing side by sido they
quietly but earnestly said that they had de-
liberately murdered tho negro woman, Emma
Gattison, at Orange, Tex., and the negro man,
l'etcr Fioti, a fow hours later in Calcasieu par-
ish, La.; that the Lord had forgiven them and
that they were ready and desirous to die, and
they beggod tho interviewers to telegraph
tho Louisiana governor to revoke the reprievo
and order their execution to proceed without
dolay.
A FALLING METEOR
Seon Wednesday Evening by a West Dal-
las Mtin.
Dallas, Tex., July 10.—Mr. Frank Powell
of West Dallas called at Tub News offleo yes-
terday morning and gavo tho following ac-
count of a meteor:
"About sundown on Wednesday, while en-
gaged in trimming some trees in my yard, I
suddenly heard a sound as of a rushing, mighty
wind, and upon looking up saw a blue, glisten-
ing, sulphurous-looking cloud dipping belew
tho woptom horizon. Just as I looked at it tho
cloud burst into a bright, dazzling blaze,
which lasted perhaps ten seconds, when it
disappeared, leaving tho cloud in its former
shape, position and color. Immediately fol-
lowing tho blaze a roaring sound like succes-
sive volleys of distant artillery was heard,
seeming to come from the horizon a little
south of west. I exiled to Mrs. Powell when
the blaze first appeared, and she ran out into
the yard in time to seo it and hear the rumb-
ling. cannon-like roar which followed.
"The cloud remained in position about a half
hour, and the wind, which was then blowing
from the north, finally carried it away."
Mr. Powell thinks tho great light and tho
succeeding noise wero undoubtedly caused by
an aerolite and that it will be learned in a day
or two where it struck torra lirma.
Mr. Powell tsaw ths great meteor of 1876
fall. He was then living in Chamois, Mo., ed-
iting the Osage Leader.
8c»en In Navarro County.
Cobsicana, Tex., July ft.—Considerable ex-
citement w as occasioned last night by the ex-
plosion of a meteor-liko body that shot
athwart tho heavens from southeast to north-
west, and exploded with a loud report. Tho
explosion was not followed by a shower of any
volcanic substance anywhere near hero, as far
as eon be ascertained, but the moving mass
seemed to take fire and consume, as a long
trail of light, vapory smoke was left in tho
wake of the peculiar body, which remained
some time after it disappeared from view.
Judging from the length of tiino it took to
hoar the report after it took fire, as noted by
those who thought of looking at their watches,
it must have been sailing five or six miles high.
Nearly all farmers who came in from differ-
ent parts of tho county to-day report having
witnessed tho strange phenomenon.
So«*n in I.imestono County.
Mexia, Tex., July 9.—Considerable excite-
ment prevailed in tlie city to-day over the fall
near hero of a very large meteor which passed
over tho city yesterday at 7.40 p. m. from an
easterly to a northwestward direction and aj>-
pareutly fell a few miles from here. It painted
the heavens in iridescent colors and exolodcd
with a report thut caused many to think an
earthquake had visited the town. It was in-
deed a very strange phenomenon and created
intouse excitement.

tions Made.

al has adopted the following programme for
the state encampment:
Saturday, July 18: Guard mounting, with
music, company and battalion drill, parade
and review in the afternoon.
Sunday, 19: Parade, guard mounting*
Monday, 20: Guard mounting, regimental
and battalion drill, parade and review.

view.
Saturday, the last day: Guard mounting,
sham battlo, parado and review.
General Mabry has an eye on Captain
Owens, who is organizing a mob in Austin to
be dispersed by tho military under the forego-
ing programme. It will be a nihilistic bomb-
throwing mob, under skilled leadership, en-
trenched iu streets and barricaded and in pos-
session of tho railroad depots, and will be ex-
pected to make it interesting for the state
guards.
General Mabry's purpose is not so much to
make this a display feature for the people as
it in to givo tho guards practical instruction
and show tho people the true value of organ-
ized. disciplined militia in protecting property
and life when civil authorit y may bo paralyzed
by superior mob force. , a
There aro in preparation dancing floors in
tho open air for dancing every night except
Sunday and the night of the 23d, when tho
grand ball takes place in tho capitol.
Every possible preparation has been mado
and is being made for the comfort of tho sol-
diersincamp. The ground of the encampment
is shaded by trees and is a gravel, sandy soil,
which in case of rain will not be muddy. The
drill ground is inclosed, being the property of
the Hyde Park company. .
The estimate of attendance is 700 united
States regulars and 1800 state troops. It is
believed the boys will have more comfort and
more solid fun than they ever have had at a
state encampment.
General Qppenheimer was here to-day.
One troop of United States cavalry is on the
way here and will be here Sunday night to put
up t ho tents.
Other United States commands left San An-
tonio for Austin overland to-day.

QUIET BUT SAFE.
Dun's Weekly Review Thinks that of the
Present Business Situation.
New Yoke, July 10.—B. G. Dun's weekly
review of trade will say: Tho unusual con-
servatism which prevails in nearly all sections
and branches of business impresses many as a
most disheartening symptom. But it may
with at leat equal reason be interpreted as the
best ground for confidence in solid improve-
ment when tho now and large crops come for-
ward moro freely. Absence of speculative
excitement and indisposition to buy in haste
are having a most wholesome influeuce.
Prices of materials and products aro thus kept
in such relation thut a large and fairly profit-
able business is possible, but will bo based
when it comes upon the actual demands of
consumers, and not upon inflated hopes.
This conservative attitude is more necessary
taining needed supplies for moving crops at
the west is not yet entirely removed. At St.
Louis trade in wool, grain, nroduce and live
stock is good, but lumber and building trades
are dull. The outlook for the fall trade is
very encouraging. Koine increase is noted at
Louisville, but at other southern points dull-
ness prevails, and at New Orleans, though a
slight improvement is seen, tho tactics of the
traders are extremely conservative.
Wool moves slowly at Now York, the buyors
takiu^ only for actual need. Iu woolen goods
some improvement in ordors is observed and
a greater feeling of security for the future.
Trade in flannels is strong aud healthy and
in knit goods very satisfactory. At southern
points tne markets are close as a rule, though
only firm and in fair supply at New Orleans.
Business failures throughout tho country
during tho last soven days number 247 as com-
pared with a total of 237 last wook. For tho
corresponding week of last year the figures
ro 101. _
MR. P0WDERLY AGAIN.
He Postpones the Industrial Conference
and Gives His Reasons Therefor.
New Yobe, July 10.—General Master Work-
man Powderly yesterday issued a special cir-
cular to all local assoiublios of the Knights of
Labor on tho question of tho proposed indus-
trial conference, which was to be held on
July 28, to take up the platform of the Farm-
ers' alliance and join hands with the third
party.
The call has received so little response out-
side of the knights that Mr. Powderly has
deomod it wiso to doclaro it off for the present,
and to hold a meeting on Washington's birth-
day, im
In tho ciroular Mr. Powderly saysi "In-
structed by the general assembly of tho order
of the Knights of Labor at Denvor, Col., iu
Novomber, 1800, to correspond with otner
labor organizatians with a view to bidding a
convention for the purpose of formulating a
platform of principles to be voted on at tho
polls, I havo performed that duty as well as
my environments would permit, and up to this
time but tlirco officers of othor labor organiza-
tions have siffniiiod a willingness to co-operate
in holding such a convention."
After stating that the day named by him for
the convention was July 28, and that since then
another form of principles has been adopted
at Cincinnati, he continues:
If the UQAwatiua of July is held it will
have few present who are not members of the
order.
"As that organization has a well defined and
excellent platform of principles already before
the public it would be folly to call tho knights
together again for the purpose of readopting
it. In November the general assembly will
meet again, and if changes are necessary
they may be made there. The general officers
of the Knights of Labor were instructed to co-
operate with the farmers' organizations in se-
curing measures of relief, and they have done
so. A confederation of the agricultural and
industrial organizations has been formed
and is in successful operation, and has adoi>t-
ed a declaration of principles to be voted for
at tlie polls."
He tnen says it would be a waste of timo to
call the same mon together again, particularly
so since tho confederation already formed has
agreed to meet on Washington's birthday in
1K92 and prepare for tho coining struggle, to
select the best parts of the various .plat-
forms and engrafting them in a short, com-
prehensive declaration of what the industrial-
ists would havo at the masthead in a political
campaign.
EJECTING THE INTRUDERS.
Great Excitement and Complaint in ths
Territory—Trouble Feared.

Bennett and tho Chickasaw militia arrested

There was great excitement in Ardmore over

gone out to intercede for the people.
Ejecting Them All.
Wynnewood, I. T., July 10.—Reports from
points wost <^f here are to tho effect that the

erable complaint is made about the manner
in which the militia are treating the so-called

ton and Agent Bennett at Muscogee the in-
truders claim that no leniency is shown to
them.
Trouble Anticipated.
Abdmobb, I. T., July 10.—Groat excitement
ment prevails over the nation m regard to the

alyzed and at a standstill. Tho indications

posse aro iu pursuit of him.
HUBBARD, PRICE & CO.'S CIRCULAR.
New Yobe, July 10.—[Special]—Hubbard. Price
A Co. say: Tho course of the market has boen
decidedly erratic. Futures in Liverpool wore
partially l«J4d above lust evening's prices at 2
o'clock and so olot»ed. This market opened vory
dull aud almost without quotable ohango. For a
time it Heomod that no change was probable until
after the publication of tho #ovornment report,
but the prominent hou»os came in an sellers auu
the magnitude of their offerings gave riso to a
faked rumor that the bureau report was known
and being acted upon.
Tho robiilt was the entire withdrawal of buying
orders. After a slight recovery of some 4 or 5
points the trading again became very limitod and
when the Washington renort became known .Sep-
tember was selling at 8.10c. As it became digosted
operators seemed to agree that it did not justify
any future decline nnd a buying movement set in
which carried prices back some 7 points. The
close wan steady at about 2 points roaotion from
the highest.
Macbeth's "pearl top" and
"pearl glass" lamp chimneys
are made of tough glass that
costs iour times as much as
common glass; and the work
on them costs a good deal
more than the work on com-
mon chimneys, just as the work
on a dress is proportioned to
cost of stuff.
The dealer is right in saying
he can't afford to sell them at
the price of common glass
chimneys.
And what will become of his
chimney trade if his chimneys
never break? He is apt to be
wrong there. He can afford to
charge a fair price and give
new chimneys for all that break
in use.
Have a talk with him.

Sick Headache
Is so readily cured by Hood's 8arsaparilla that It
seems almost foolish in any one to allow the
trouble to contluue. By its toning and invigora-
ting effect upon the digestive organs. Hood's Bar-
■apartUa readily gives relief when haadarho
arises from lndigeaUon; and in neuralgic condi-
tions, by building up the debilitated system,
HooU'a Sarsaparilla removes th«*.cause aud hence
overcomes the difficulty.
" My wife suffered from sick headache and neu-
ralgia. After taking Hood's Sarsaparilla she was
much relieved." W. K. ISahb, Wilmington, Ohio.
