FnA.NCISCO, April SO.—Shortly

bcf^j'c 10:30 a. m. President Harrison and party boarcfod the steamer City of Pueblo fqr a trip around the bay. Promptly at that hour tliQ steamer left the wharf and started in the direction of Alcatras island, uear which were stationed the Charleston, the Ilassler, tho Madrono, the Corwin and the Hush* in passing the squadron the presidential saluto of twenty-one guns was fired aud then tho cruiser and tho cutters fell bohiud the Pueblo and the naval procession moved slowly toward the Golden Gate.

From a marine point of view the pageant has never been excelled on tho bay of San Francisco. The route followed by Pueblo extended from Itroadway wharf along *ie northwest line of the oity front to Fort Point, west to Whistling Budy 10 miles out to sua, Stopping to view the forts and military sites which greeted the. president with salutes of cannon as tho vessels passed.

Notwithstanding the announcement that the invitations to accompany the president were limited to f»00, the committee having charge of the excursion wo4 besieged with applications from fully 6,000 persons, who orowded the steamers Ultiau and Garden City and numerous smaller craft which dotted the bay so that at tho hour of the president's embarkation over 10,000 porBons had left tho shore to accompany him on the trip.

After the government vessels had swung into line other steamers and oraft conveying unofficial excursionists made haste to follow, 'and with the white sails of the yachts skimming the scene the pageant, from a murine point of view, has never been excelled on tho bay of San Francisco. The route extended 10 miles out to sea.

At the president's request the steamer turned around aud returned to smooth water in the vicinity of Hauceilto and Angel island, where an hour or two was spent in cruising around. Lunch was served and the Pueblo headed for the Union iron works. Here the vessel was received with a blowing of whistles at the factory and on all the steam vessels lying there. The president paid an official visit to the cruiser Charleston, being received with a national salute when he boarded the vessel and when he left

In addition to those on the vessels there were probably 40,000 people on shore. Every housetop aud street and every hillside overlooking the iron works'yards was literally covered with people. Never was there such interest taken or such enthusiasm displayed at anysimilar event in this part of the country. The launching of the armored coastfdefenso vessel Monterey was a complete success, r.fter which the president and party returned to the Palace hotel in carriages.

The president received a telegram from Gov. Petinoyer, of Oregon, expressing the hope that the prssident's sister was not hurt seriously and assuring Mr. Harrison of a warm weloome in Oregon.

A BANK WORSTED.

The Ninth National of Now York Robbed of Thousands.

A BIG DEFALCATION OF ITS FUNDS.

Tho Institution's I)cal President, John T. till!, Discovered to J$« Responnihlo for Shortage of 8(400,000.

A STEAL U.NJ5AKTM)Cn.

NEW YORK, April 29.—A11 astonishing defalcation that will reach 8400,000 was announced Tuesday in the Ninth national bank at No. 407 Broadway. The defalcation is charged to John T. Hill, the president of the bank, who died March 1. lie was a trusted official, respected in all the financial world of New York. It has boen learned that President Hill used his official position to take mouey from the bank to carry on speculations in Wall street, and that of the £40(1,000 missing from the bank nearly every dollar was lost in unfortunate ventures in the stock and grain market.

President Hill had so carefully covered up his tracks when taking funds of the institution that only his death would have revealed the facts. Uewasi tho executor, with other New ISruns-! wick (N. ,1.) business men, in several I large estatos. Whenever a regular cus-1 tomor of tho bank borrowed money on collateral securities Hill would wait I until the loan fell due. Then when It was paid by a check, which would I cover both tliu money loaued aud tho 1 interest for the use of it, ho would I pocket the checks given in payment and replace tho collateral securl-! ties, which he had returned to the oustoiner, with securities taken 1 from the estates in New Bruns-1 wick of which lie was executor. Thus there would be no ehango on tho! boolcs of the bank and the scheme oould be carried on indefinitely. After Hill's dentil hit, fellow executors for the New Brunswick estates began an Investigation to find tho missing securities which he had In charge, and they soon learned that they were In the N intli national bank, held as securities for loans. They demanded the securities, and then the story of the defalcation I was soon learned. While tho loss ia 6erlous it does not impair the bank's solvency, nor its ability to take care of its customers. Its assets aside from the loss mentioned are of good character. Its discounts are exceptionally good.

NO DATE FIXED.

The Miners luftue an Address Postponing the Eight-Hour Movement for the Present*

COLUMBUS,

O.,

April

CO.—The

national

executive board of tho United Mine Workers of America lias concluded that tho time Is not auspicious /or a strike for the eight-hour dsiy. Tho following address to the United Mine Workers of America has been issued: •*F*LLOW MINEH.S: From tbo time that mining became an Industry of Iranortuuco within tbe boundary o( tho United States tho question of shortening tho hours of labor has existed lb tbe minds of the thinking men of our tnide. By tbe natural laws of ovolution aud by a praotice au$ exercise of manly patience and by a suppression of personal prejudice on tbe part of the miners of tbo country during the last two years we bftd arrived at the stage in organization at our lA&t annual convention when dvery friend of the miners throughout the whole land believed that this great roform— vl2,i eight hours—was within our ensygrusp, and steps were taken by resolution and other wise to inaugurate the system. "Sinpe that time the world has been startled by one of the mont awe-Inspiring strikes in the annals of our trade. Tho coke workers of the Connollftvlllp region (or the last twelve weeks have beeo the participants In buttle waged by organized capital against organized labor WbloH ean only bo termed the gory precursor of the goomlDgly Inevltablo strife between tbe two foroes In a general and more comprehensive manner. While the men, women and children of this region bnvo been tbe victims of the sheriff's writs and his deputies' Winchesters, and while they are now threatened with the still more oowardly aud still more unscrupulous methods 'of the dastardly Plnkertpns, It has been the duty of tbe United Mine Workors to render to thoso peoplo all the financial assistance possible and Ooifipfttiblo with the laws of our organisation. Therefore ltU unnecessary that we should sny that tho funds vbloh under other circumstances would baye been available for our purpose on the 1st of May have been vory materially reduoed. "As tho custodians of the Interests of the people who have placed us In the positions which wo occupy we positively thougn reluctantly refuse, with our eyes open and with a full and oomploto knowledge of tho situation to jeopardize those Interests, and will not be re* sponsible for tho accompanying sufferings and saoritlces of a strike to our constituents aud their families. "We appreciate fully tbe boldness of this step. We realize the disappointment to thousands of our friends, but realizing that dlscre* Hon is the better part of valor and that tho good general, rather than lead hi* army head, long to disaster, prefers to make an honorable retreat, we take the latter course, and .. cau be culled a retreat wo prefer It rather than to have the maledictions of our people after thoy have suffered for keeping nnck tho truth from them, and have determined at the presont time to continue tho Qgbt in tbe coke region with all our might and vigor. We havo, thoreforo, passed the following resolution and submit it to you with all oandor, humility and rcspeot: "Resolved, That tho eight-hour movement be doferrcd for tbe time being and that the time for action be left In th** hands of the national oxocutive board aud the presidents of the various dUtricts."

The executive board also makes an appeal to local assemblies and local unions for aid for the coke workers, whose battle they say must be fought to a victory.

NEW YOHK. April

'29.—A

Poughkeep-

sle (N. Y.) dispatch says: Tho Ntf\vsPress, of which Mr. Hinehley, formerly of the New York Graphic, is editor, publishes the followlngi "Stephen U. Elkins is authority for a statement made to a representative of the 'News-Press* to the effect that James G. Illainc would shortly announce his decision not, under any circumstances, to allow his name to be used ut tho next republican national convention as a candidate for president. It IB said that Mr. Maine's letter or announcement will be so positive as to admit of but one construction—mid that is that he will never again be a candidate for the presidency/'

Hon. Smith M. Weed, although a democrat, has certain business relations with men of prominence who are republicans, and he also has said two or three times lately that when tho time came Mr. Hlaine would be found positively declining the nomination. "Mr. Weed has been so outspoken OB this subject recently," the "News Press*1 says, "when talking to his friends, as to give the impression that his lmformation was as direct as that of Mr. KlUins, who is known to be Mr. Blaine's intimate friend and closest political adviser.'*

Mr. W. ,1. Arkcll, editor and proprietor of "Judge," and whose associate in the ownship of "Frank Leslie's" is Russell It. Harrison, also says that Mr. Maine is about to come out with a most positive refuial to allow his name to be used again in connection with the presidency. In fact Mr. Arkcll expect$ soon to be permitted to publish the full text of Mr. Maine's letter on the subject.

WASHINGTON. April 29.—The news that Elkins tells about Secretary Blaine's intentions does not reccive ful) faith and credit in Washington. It may be that before the next, republican national convention meets the secretary will pronounce against Uls own candidacy, and In a way that Will forbid his friends supporting him. But there is no hurry to anticipate the action of the convention, and Mr. Elkins' authority fordeclaring that Secretary Blaine will shortly announce his decision may well be questioned. The Critic quotes a "close friend" of the secretary as follows: "1 ain not curtain ilmt Mr. lllalne has authorized Mr. Klkliis to speak for httn, but I am sure that be d&OM not intend to allow his name to ifo before the next republican national convention. The fnet \n it IH not altogether Improbable. in vlow of the Forakor Incident at Cinolnnati, that Mr. Ulainn may feel It Incumbent on himself to announce under bis own signature a fact tbut has becu known to his Intimate friends for a long time—that Is, that he Is not In any senso a candidate for the nomination."

Congressman Houtelle, of Maine, and •^'Congressman Kayne, of Pittsburgh, both most intimate friends of tho secretary of state, who had charge of his cumpaign in the hist three national conventions, have within the last month told their friends in private conversation that Mr. Hlaiue would Qot only not be a candidate for the nominatloA but that lie would, if this agitation continued, very soon announce over his name that he could not and would not accept the nomination if it should be tendered him.

PROTECTION IN THE SOUTH.

Witll

OWI prejudices Which Intorfcro Southern Progress. A significant incident transpired recently when Secretary of War Proctor and a party of congressmen returning from an inspection of tho battle Held of Cliickamauga were banqueted at Chattanooga, Tenn., by tho capitalists of that city, who havo invested millions in new Iron and steel plants. A feature of tho tablo service was tin plate of Tennessee manufacture in various artistic and useful forms. The menu was inclosed between two sheets of decorated tin plate.

Among the visiting guests was Maj. McKinlev. in response to loud demands the major followed A. M. Shook, general manager of the Southern Iron Company, and N. Baxter, .Tr., the president of the company. Roth of theso men are southerners by birth and democratic in politics, but had favored the side of tariff protection in their remarks. Turning to Mr. Shook and referring to the display of tip plate ware of domestic manufacture, tho major inquired: "And can you make steel permanently in Chattanooga?" "Wc can," replied Mr. Shook, "unless there shall be adviyso legislation." "And if there shall be adverse legislation," retorted the major, with energy and felicity, "you will know from what source it will come."

In the very glare of his furnaces and surrounded by the products of his tinplate Industry, wnose establishment had been rendered possible by the Mr

Klnlcy law, the manager of tho grctf property publicly admitted that tho rofperity of the iron, steel and tin Intend lljan law of last Octobcr. And tile sentltncuts of A. M. Shook aro those of every intelligent man interested in the development of the great mineral belt lu Tennessee and Alabama.

prosperity austry of tho new south depended on the maintenance of the republican tariff

In the natural order of things Maryland, the Virginias, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri—tho border states of the solid south, whioh contain a comparatively small proportion of colored voters and in which tho race issue ean not be thrust forward to the exclusion of all other considerations, will presently be a stronghold of protection and tho party which advocates that tariff policy. There le tho great battleground where the republicans must fight and win their victories in the future. These states cannot bo inllucnccd by the seductive argument of free raw materials for manufacturers nor by the other fallacy that protection lnoreasee the priccB of goods for consumers. They combine the agricultural and industrial interests which place the farm and factory aide by side and insure the development of substantial commonwealths.

It Is true, as an observer in the Proc-tor-McICinley party remarked, that while protectionists at heart the men of tho new south "vote as they fought They havo not been able to rid themselves of their old political associations." Nevertheless, the tendency of public scntimont is unmistakably toward protection. The republican party of tho border states is, as a rule, powerful and well organized and a well directed effort next year ought to Insuro substantial return to tho republicans In the northern belt of the southern states. There Is no danger that such an effort would be open to tho charge of ralnbow-cliasing. The prejudices of slavery and rebellion aro disappearing rapidly beforo the actuality of to-day and they alone stand between republicanism and success in tbo border states.—Albany Journal.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Fifty-first congress must be judged not only by what it has done, out also by what It has tried to do in the face of the most bitter, violent and vludiotlvc dcmocratlo opposition to every measure for the nation's prosper* ity and welfare.—N. Y. Press. t9~Speaking of Mr. Cleveland's at£ tude with regard to the demoorati.. nomination of 1893, it will be remembered that in one of his messages to congress he declared that a president should have but one term and the fact is also easy to recall that the people took him at his word, and refused to give him a second term when ho askod for It—St. Louis Globe-Democrut.

HTMr. Cleveland in his last freetrade banquet speech, referred to Maj. MeKlnley's dofeat as a sign of the democratic promise. As McKlnloy cut a democratic majority of 8,000 against him to less than 800, it will require a diagram to explain tbe difference of this democratic promise from that of two years ago, when Mr. Cleveland and free trade went down in defeat.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
