MANY EULOGIES ARE DELIVERED.

Hie 721 Anniversary of the Birth of the Ureal. Commander Appropriately Observed—Notable Celebration at Galena, III.

IN A HERO'S DOXOR.

GALENA., 111., April 28. —This town resounded with the echo of that artillery which was music to the ears of Ulysses 8. Grant, and in memory and imagination the people fought again the battles of their hero. It was the Miniversary of his birthday, and the people did honor to his name. Fine oratory thundered the praises of the soldier from the pulpit, brass bands crashed music in his honor, the stars and stripes waved in the sky, children's voices united to sing his glory.

Tlio lixorclifls.

The exercises began early in tho afternoon. A parado was formed and he column moved to Turner hall, headed by the Galena Juvenile band costumed in bright zouave uniforms. The liuo was formed by Company M, Galena, 1. X. G., the local and visiting posts of tho Grand Army of the Republic, odd fellows and other social organizations. The march was brought up by carriages containing the committees and prominent guests.

Turner hall, although a large room, was by far too small to accommodate the crowds that pressed into it, and tho overflow was compelled to be content with such a celebration as it could make for itself in the parks and in tho streets. Rev. E. C. Arnold, of the First Methodist church, opened the proceed'ngs with prayer. After a short selection by the band,Maj. He'-ham introduced Hon. Luther Laflin Mills, the well-known lawyer of Chicago, who was the orator of the day. Mr. Mills delivered a most eloquent ind polished address on the character of Gen. Grant and his services to his country, and the great audience at the lose fairly thundered forth its approbation of his sentiments. The Imperial iuartette, of Chicago, sang tho national anthem, the audience joining in the horus. The chaplain then pronounced tlie benediction.

Celebration lu Unuit I'lir L.

While these exercises were going on in Turner hall another equally interestng programme was being carried out in Grant park. Several hundred school children of tho city marched out to the park and, gathered about the foot of the Grant monument there, rendered a pretty programme of choral songs and recitations. A profusion of flowers were left at the base of the monument.

An informal reception in the evening closed the day's celebration. R. H. McClollan was master of ceremonies. An impromptu programme was rendered, consisting of brief addresses by Laflin Mills, Messrs. II. II. Kohlsaat, James W. Scott, Judge C. C. and E. W. Kohlsaat, Maj. Moses 1\ Handy, of Chicago, and others.

ObdervAuccH KUctvhere.

NEW YORK, April 28.—The Hamilton republican club celebrated Grant's birthday with a reception at Hollander's, which was largely participated in. In the ovening there was a banquet at which Gen. Horace Porter, Congressmen Roswell G. Horr andiL. E. Quigg, Cornelius liliss, John A. Cockerill, Speaker Malby and several others delivered addresses.

At the Union League clubhouse in Brooklyn eloquent tributes to Gen. Grant as a soldier and citizen were made by Representative Boutolle, Father Malone, Gen. Woodford and others. Father Malone ably defended lien. Grant's memory from the charge that he was a bigot and a "know-noth-ing."

PHILADELPHIA, April as. Gen. Grant's birthday was celebrated by a banquet of prominent republicans from all parts of the state at the Union league. Ex-Gov. Beaver presided.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 28.—The Americus Republican club observed Grant's birthday by a banquet at the Monongahela house Friday night. The principle address was delivered by exSpeaker Reed.

BOSTON. April 28.—Col. Fred Grant attended the banquet of the Middlesex club at tho Parker house in honor of the 72d auniversy of his illustrious father's birth. The speaking was all eulogistic of the great general, little politics entering Into the discourses.

CHICAGO, April 28. —At the Marquette clubhouse Friday night a banquet was given in observance of the 72d birth day of Gen. Grant. Speeches were delivered by ex-Gov. Oglesby, of Illinois ex-Gov. Alger, of Michigan, and others.

ULYKRKS 8. OH ANT.

Brief Sketch of the Career of tUe Great Commander* Ulysses S. Grant, eighteenth presidentof the United States, was born In Clermont oounty, O., April 27, 1822. He spent his boyhood in assisting his father on the farm, a work more congenial to his tastes than working in tho tannery of which his father was proprietor. He attended tho village school, and in 1880 was appointed to a oadetshlp at West Folut, graduated in 1843, and was commissioned second lieutenant In Fourth Infantry, stationed at Jef« ferson bat racks, St Louis. Took an aotlve and honorable part la the Moxloan war, and entered the City of Mexico a first lieutenant Was promoted to a captaincy in 1851 Resigned his commission In 1854 and settled on a small farm near St Louis. In May, 1800, he moved to Ga lena, 111., and there became a clerk In his father's hardware and loather store.

Ills Record Sn the Civil War* When the civil war broke out he declared himself an ardent unionist Juno 17, 1861, he was oommissloned oolonel of the Twenty-first Illinois infantry promoted to be brigadier general of volunteers August 7. On November I he defeated a superior force of confederates

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY, APRIL 28,1894

at Belmont On February IS, 1868, be began tho Investment of Doaolson, which ended four days later In the surrender of nearly 18.000 confederates. Ho wan made major general of volunteers for his gallant servloes, but soon after rellovod of his cnmtnimd ot the Instigation of jealous rivals. tVas restored to his command Maroh 18, 1802, und thon began his wonderful career as a soldier and str ateglst His victor lesand battles at Pittsburg Landing. Corinth, Vtoksburg, eto., are events too well known to need repetition here On April 9, 18#\ Qen. Lee surrendered to him at Appomattox Court House, the remainder of the confederate army consisting of 27,000 men. Grant's forces hail never been more than one-third greater than those of his antagonist, and he had constantly fought on tho offensive.

Two Terms President.

After the close of the war, Grant returned to Washington to superintend the disbandment of the armies. This worn was scarcely begun when President Lincoln was assassinated. This event made Andrew Jackson president, but left Grant the most conspicuous figure in the country. In July, 1800, ho was made general of the army, a rank especially oreatod foi him. In 1868 he was elected president as tho candidate of the republics partv, and reelected in 1872. Soon after leaving the presidential chair he set out on a tour of the world, and afterward engaged In various business enterprises—ono of whloh (his connection with the firm of Grant & Ward) no doubt hastened his end. His floath ocourred on July at, 1888, on Mount MaoGregor, near Saratoga, N. Y. His widow, Julia DentGrant, is now a resldont of New York, but will, it is said, remove to Washington In the near future.

HURT BY STRIKES.

Business of All Kit)in ftleltl Hack by l,abor Disturbance*. NEW YORK, April 28. —R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: ••When accounts of great strikes and labor disturbances crowd all newspapers It is Idle to look for much improvement in buslnoss That every week of Idleness for so mauy men must appreciably lessen the aggregate power to purchase products of labor Is evidont. Hut In spite of nil some Improvement still appears. Continual reports of ohanges in the tariff bill add to difficulties of producers and dealers. With continued business depression and new crops drawing near even tho unlimited supplies of Idle money do not kindle speculative hopes. "Tho increase in liabilities of firms falling still continues, and the aggregate reported for the third week In April was only $2,792,402, and for three weeks of April 16,988,588, of whleh 12,110,194 were manufacturing and 88.811,• 095 of trading concerns. The failures have been very equally divide 1 as to sueHons, the eust having the larger number, with liabilities of ?2.277,000, the south 572,000 aud tho west (2, IBS,000. The failures this week have been IhO in the United StateB, against 210 last year, for the first time in many mouths showlug a decrease, aud In Cauada twenty-six, agai&st twenty-two lastyear. The list Includes none of great Importance."

Bradstreet'a View.

Hradstreet's says: 'The general business situation throughout the United States Is less favorable, as is shown by reports from more than fifty Important distributing centers. A specially depressing Influence is the strike of 147,003 bituminous coal aud coke operatives in twelve tates. Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago and Duluth are feeling the strike, the effect in vessel interests at these and other lake ports being very discouruglng. Duluth ore shipments aro delayed for want of return coal cargoes and railroad companies havo begun to discharge coal train employes. Only two cities of the thirty-flvo reporting in central, wostern and northwestern states report material Improvement in general trade this week—Indianapolis and Kansas City—and oven at those points the gain is slight. Activity In the stock market Is checked by the labor disturbances and the delay in reaching a conclusion on tho new tariff bill.

A feature at Chicago is in sales of dry goods equaling the average of previous weeks, other lines not making* so favorable a report St. Louis reports Its general business situa* tlon fair, although characterizing the demand as of a hand-to-mouth variety. The dooreaBe In demand from jobbers at Omaha and other Nebraska points is attributed to activity of farm work. Trade at St Paul. Minneapolis and Duluth, as at other points farther west, is very unfavorably affeoted by the tie-up of the Qreat Northern railroad. Mot-chants at cities in North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington are oarrylng reduced stooks, purchasing for needs only, and railroads traversing that region report a marked falling off In through as well as looal shipments."

JUSTICE LONG'S PENSION.

Falls to File Additional Evidence Within the Time Allovred and the Araouut Will lie Cut.

WASHINGTON, April 28.—The period of thirty days allowed Judge Charles D. Long, of Michigan, to file additional evidence on the pension claim has expired.

The reduction will be contested and it is the determination of counsel to ultimately carry the case to the United States supreme court

A

Frnltless Conference.

Early Friday morning President Debs, Vice President Howard and one or two others callod on President Hiil and asked If they could resume their conference with him. He promptly acquiesced. Before going into the conference President Debs said the men had not altered their demands In the slightest, nor did they intend to do so. Just what the men expected to gain by the conference is not clear, but Mr. Hill left the way open for a renewal of negotiations for a settlement at any time and they took advantage of his invitation to see whether war could not be averted. Both sides expressed themselves as firmly opposed to granting anything demanded by the other, although the men demanded their old wage schedule, whiie Mr. Hill simply asked for submission to arbitration. It was after this conference was over that the order making the strike general was given out bj' Presideut Debs.

Everything Tied I'p.

Everything is closed up in these two citii.s and along the line of the road. The brotherhood men, although not actively joining tho strike, seem disinclined to work with nonunion men aud fear the possible dangers of green men on the switches.

Til MINKIiV ST It IKK.

Latest Bulletin of tho Situation—l*caoe ItolfftiN at Tolucu, 111. COLU-MHUS. O., April 23.—The mine workers ot the country are to be regularly furnished with bulletins on tho strike situation. Official bulletin No. 1 was prepared Friday afternoon at the national headquarters of the United Mine Workers. Tho bulletin will be mailed to 400 mining districts. Miners are enjoined to "remember the resolution of the convention that none go to work until a general settlement is made." Then follows a greeting aud detailed reports of tho number of men out. The greeting advises that no attention be given newspaper reports, and encourages the strikers. The following statements are given with detailed information regarding each state: "Pennsylvania leads the fight with U.000 in line. The strike in the coke regions of that state, where over 10,COO men are out, makes the suspended miners of Pennsylvania 05,000. lu Maryland the miners have not yet joined the movement. In West Virginia about one-half of the mlaers have struck. In Virginia the Pofchontas field Is still at work, and will continue. In Ohio, out to a man. Kentucky and Tennessee reports show 6,000 men idle. The miners of Alabama are out, and there is every indication the strike will be long. The miners of the bituminous district of Indiana aresoltd, and the probabilities are that the block coal miners will join the movement on May 1. Kverythlng indicates the whole stale of Illinois* will be practically Idle by May 1. With the exception of Klch Hill, Missouri Is In line. Kansas miners are at work. Pun of Iowa is idle, and the question of all coiulng out will be settled at the coventlon at

Albla May 1. The miners of Indian Territory are still out About 1,500 men quit work in Colorado April 21, but it Is not probable the strike will become general in that state. Let the spirit of calm determlnatiou coutluue. In a short time the stocks of coal w... have disappeared and your victory is assured.'' .!

There Was No Trouble.

TOLUCA, 111., April 28. Happily Friday passed off without bloodshed and riot. The striking miners from Spring Valley, La Salle, Strcator aud other points came at sunrise H,500 strong, but returned to their homes without committing any acts of violence. It was a remarkable ending of what at one time promised sure destruction of property aud loss of life. The men were met by J. A. Crawford, president of District 12 United Mine Workers of America, .J. W. Murray, the vice president, and Aotiug Gov. Gill, who gave advice that caused them to abandon tho object of their mission and go away more peacefully than they came.

Hurt In a Fierce Fight.

The saloons were thrown open after the main' body of striker* left, and at night a row was started through the bandying of words between a party of strikers who had staid in town and non-strikers, during which four men were badly injured.

All Indiana Miners Are Out. TERKE HAUTE, Ind., April 28.—President Dunkerly, of the State Miners' union, stated that the strike in Indiana is practically complete and that 0,000 miners are out The only mines now in operation are a few small ones in lower Clay county and a bituminous mine in the Evansville district

BRAZIL, Ind., April 28.—The meeting of the block operators and miners re suited in tho miners refusing the offer made by tho operators to pay eighty cents a ton until a settlement is reached throughout the country. Nearly every miner in the county is out.

COKNKLLSVILLK, Pa., April 28.—The coke strikers have adopted peaceful plans for the future. There is an exodus of foreigners from the regions, the leaders saying they have become tired of the constant struggle against starvation. A number have left for the old country this week and others will follow in a day or two. Filty families have secured transportation to

North Dakota, where they propose engaging in farming. The strike is now general.

"UNKNOWN" AGAIN HEARD FROM. GAITHERSHURO, Md., April 28.—Coxey has been receiving reports from Rockville, the gathering point for the commonweal clans. Twenty-four men are already in camp at the fair grounds in that city waiting for the arrival of the army. They are under command of "Unknown" Smith, who was discharged from the main army a week or two ago. Brown says he nor his followers will be permitted to join the army. The men marched to this point from Hoyaltstown under a hot sun on Friday, reaching here almost exhausted. A citizens' committee of forty, under Deputy Sheriff D. G. Carlisle, had been appointed to watch the army, but after they saw the condition of the men all but four or five of them went home.

Plan for tlio March Into Washington. The plans for the march Into Washington are now nearly completed. This morning the army will leavo at 9 o'clock for Camp "Legal Tender" at P.ockvi'le, where It will remain for the night On Sunday morning the march will be resumed, reaching Briglitwood park, just inside of the District of Columbia and 2Vi miles from Washington, on tho evening of the same day.

WUl Meet on tlie Capitol Steps. On Tuesday the march to the capitol will be made. The arrangements for the day are in charge of Marshal J. B. Osborne, ono of Browne's old California friends. Coxey said on Friday "We intend to march up and hold a meeting on the capitol steps. The constitution guarantees us our rights to meot and petition for re« dress of grievances, and that is all we ezpeot to do. If we can't meet and do this it Is almost time for another revolution. We will keep off the grass around the oapltol. Of oourso I appreciate as well as any one else the faot that the preserva. tion of the grass arounu the capitol is of more importance than the saving of thousands from starvation. Any laws tending to prevent our meeting are unconstitutional and void, and we have plenty of time to test the matter. The people do not intend to see us Imposed on

May March Down Pennsylvania Avenue. WASHINGTON, April 28.—Chief of Police Moore said that the Coxey army could parade down Pennsylvania avenue so long as its component parts conduct themselves in an orderly manner. That is one of the rights of an organization. he said, and the police do not intend to interfere. They cannot, however, maroh into the capitol grounds.

Kelly'ti Men Desert.

ADAIK, la., April 28.—When Kelly massed his industrial army for the march 121 Sacramento men were missing. The men had asserted last night that they would walk no further, and as soon as breakfast was over folded up their tents and silently prepared to steal rides. They said they would not rejoin the army at Stuart

To Move on les Moines.

STUAUT, la., April 28. -Gon. Kelly proposes to move on the enemy's works immediately. This morning he sets out on a forced march of 41 miles to Des Moines, marching all day and to-night, so as to arrive at the fair grounds in Des Moines early Sunday morning.

At Des Moines Kelly is assured of a cordial welcome and plenty of food, and there too, ho will be In a better position to "talk back" if necessary. In the fair grounds of Des Moines he will practically be in intrenchments before tho enemy, ready to besiege or bo iu a state of siege. Between here and Des Moines but one road, the Rock Island, leads to Chicago, but by immediately transferring his base of operations to Iowa's capital, his scanty store of provisions will last until he is In the valley of plenty, and he will have five steel highways to the world's fair city—the llock Island road, the Chicago & Northwestern, the Chicago, Burlington &Quincy, the Chicago Great Western and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul by way of the Des Moines & Northern.

May Play a WHttlng Gatue. If his word is good he will not even attempt to steal a train, but there seems to be nothing of a legal nature to prevent him from going into camp with his 1,200 men and staying there until either the worn-out populace charters a train or induces some equally woaried railroad company to cry "quits" and give him one, and that is just what Kelly proposes to do. It is said by a railroad man that as long as Kelly's army remains in or near Des Moines every engine will be moved out of reach. This means a serious blockade of freight aud a corresponding embarrassment for the business men.
