TIIE PRESIDENT IN ST. LOUIS

The Formal Reception Given Him at the Merchants Exchange.

ilia Tery Common-Place Speech In Reply to Jiayor Francis An !ffant Reception Tendered Mrs. Cleveland.

St. Louis. Oct a Till this morning the President has been the guest of Mayor Francis, bat io-day and to morrow be belongs to the peoDle. Fairer weather could not be asked. The skies ire clear and the gentle norta winds are sufficiently cool to make 'light overcoats desirable. The streets, eleanaed by last night's shower, are free from dust, and everywhere along the line of the President's ride to the fair grounds the tide-walks are erowded to their utmost capacity. The President's carriage, drawn by a quartette f richly eaparisoned, high stepping black borses, and followed by five other carriages prorided for his traveling companions and the local lommittee in charge, reached the Francis mannans ion in Vandeventer Place a few minutes before 10 o'clock. At 10:15, the President and Mrs. Cleveland appeared at the door of the mansion and were applauded by the crowd f ladies and children that bad gathered in the park in front of the residence. There was a noticeable absence of men, and the dresses of the people indicated the preponderance of the better classes. Major C C. Rainwater entered the carriage with the President and wife, and in a few minutes they were moving briskly toward the fair grounds, escorted by a squad of mounted police and tbeeitizens'committeein carriages. Hundreds of vehicles, crowded with people, waited on Grand avenue at the entrance of Vandeventer olace and joined the procession, which was strung out along the avenue for more than a mile. There was no noise whatever along the route except the clatter of horses' boofs on the road and the tramp of thousands of feet upon the beaten walks. No mishap nor incident occurred to mar the pleasant morning drive, and and at 10:45 the party arrived at the gate of the fair grounds. The drive to the fair grounds was made at a trot. It was children's day, and the youngsters turned out in great force. They, with mothers, nurses and friends packed the aeats of the amphitheater and the surrounding promenade to the number of sixty thousand. A brass band in the pagoda in the center attempted to make itself heard, but the shrillvoiced congregation made everything but the buidram inaudible. The visitors did cot

alight. After driving around the ambpitheater tracK a bait was made, and Mrs. Cleveland was presented by the lady superintendent of the kindergarten schools with a handsome basket of flowers. The children, led by the band, sang "Hail Columbia," and the cortege, after a drive through the fair-grounds, made its way back to the city, where they went directly to the Merchants' Exchange. Mrs. Cleveland did cot accompany the President to the Exchange, but was left en route at the residence of the Mayor, whence she went to that of Mrs. Scanlan, one, of society's leaders, where the ladies of St. Louis had an opportunity to pay their respects. On arriving at the Merchant's Exchange, the President was taken to the directors' room, where a large cumber of representative citizens from the interior of the State were introduced to him by counties. When this ceremony was over the President was escorted to the main hall of the Exchange. The immense rinm whinh ia 22." ft lone And 150 feet wide.

was jammed to its utmost capacity with people, and the President had difienlty in getting from the reception-room to the platform. On the first appearance of the President loud oheers went up from the entire multitude, aiid as he as eended the platform the enthusiasm was intense. Mr. Frank Gaiennie, president of the Merchants' Exchange, introduced Mayor Francis, and declared this the most auspicious day for St. Louis in ber history. Mayor Francis then welcomed the President to the city and State. He related the history of the movement which had brought the President to the city, alluding briefly to the disappointment of bis first declining, under circumstances which were almost im-

ivsBiuit i vm. .11.11 i i 1 1 1 u " u . u ,i. m meeting on this floor, which renewed the invitation, and which had resulted in his present reception. The enthusiastic crowd and the members of the committee did cot atone represent the city of St. Louis, but also the State of Missouri and the West; that portion of the jurisdiction purchased by Jefferson, which constitutes within i'self one mighty empire, which has yet scarcely begun its development. And it has become a power that the Nation can co longer Ignore. He congratulated the President that he bad risen above the plane of partisanship and was assured that the people now looked to Washington with more confidence than heretofore. St. Louis aud Missouri were proud to be the scene of such a demonstrate of love and esteem, and the people said to Grover Cleveland, 'welcome, thrice welcome. The President responded as follows: "If I am expected to make an extended speech on this occasion I am afraid 1 shall disappoint you, and this I should be sorry to do, after having succeeded at last, through much tribulation, in standing face to face with my St. Louis friends. The tribulation of which I speak has arisen from the extreme kindness of a vast number of American people and the cordial invitations they have tendered me to stop and see them on my way to you. Your city was the objective point of my travels in this direction, but it has sometimes seemed to me that every town between Washington and here has been represented as being directly on my route; and it has been hard to convince their kind and enthusiastic citizens that it would cot be entirely sasv, within the time at mv disposal, to pay them a visit. Mr own inclination lending me in the direction of their desires, it his been a difficult matter to resist their importunities; but I have made up my mind that the people of St. Louis are to blame to the entire perplexity and

for it was through then, that I was induced to leave home at alL 1 expect that anythir I might ssy concerning your State or city in the way of laudations or congratulations would hardly equal your own

estimation of the subject. I believe there was a time wtien St. Louis was a determined and jealous rival to Chicago. I don't know whether this condition continues or not: but I hope it does. While yon can hardly expect lookers on to take sides in such a contest, we are interested to the extent that such a struggle adds to the growth and improvement of the country at large. Both of these cities exemplify in a wonderful degree bow completely and how speedily American energy and business ingenuity utilizes every available element of municipal growth, and how every useful tvpe of the

world's population is assimilated to the grand purpose of American expansion. - "1 am here reminded of what I suppose to be the fact, that more than one-half your voters are of foreign birth and parentage. The growth and increase of your city in every way indicate, I think, that the condition of your population, just made apparent, is by no means to be deprecated: and my observation during a long residence in a city similarly situated has led me to know the value to any community of the industrious, frugal and thrifty mn and women who come from foreign lands to find new homes with us; who invest themselves with our citizenship, and who are satisfied and content with the freedom of our government, and with our laws and institutions. The line is easily drawn between them and the con-assimilating emigrants wbo seek our shores solely for purposes Involving disturbance and disadvantage to our body politic I hope I may, witnout impropriety, say this much in recognition of what Has betn done for St. Louis by its naturalized citizens, as well as in remembrance of many kind and valued friends and associates of former days. "I deem myeelf especially fortunate in being with you at a time wbrn th manufactures and prodnets of your city and the surrounding country are on exhibition. At your fair, one of the largest in the country, those who seek the best and surest evidence of your enbstantial prosperity may well be satisfied. Here I shall see the things which are conclusive proofs of thrift, and wealth and comfortable home. I bone to see. besides, while bere, certain features of your city's life which just at this time are unusually displayed, and which oetablish the fc that the people of St. Louis, with all their business engagements and with all their toil and stirring trade, are not averse to pleasure and enjoyment. I hope that you will find your visitors to he interested sightseers; and of one thing you mar be Assured, however much jcu mnj Impress us with.

the greatness of your city, we are certain to have our hearts filled with a grateful appreciation of the kindness and hospitality of your people. Three or four times during the delivery of the President's remarks, at every pause, in fact, some voice proposed three cheers for Grovor Cleveland, and the lungs of the multitude responded. The band ereeted the close of his remarks with a national air. and the presidential party filed out the entrance aisle that bad been kept pen by the police. The streets were jammed with people, and it was with difficulty that Mr. Cleveland was got into his carnage. Once there, the citizens pressed to bts side and extended their hands in vain. "I will greet yoa all later," said the President, "but not here." From the Exchange the President and his companions were escorted in their carriages through the principal business streets of the city, the ride lasting abdnt au hour. Everywhere along the route masses of people awaited and greeted the guest of the day. The police arrangements were excellent, and there was no disorder, the crowds manifesting their enthusiasm in cheers and noise, and refrainine from crowding about, or following the carriages. The most conspicuous feature of the decoration was the arrangement of gas jets, each lamp and awning post bearing a branching tree of piping, while at street corners great arehes were thrown across from curb to curb. These bore a million colored globes, the effect of which, even in the davlight. was striking. The cortege reached the Lindell Hotel at 2 o'clock, where rooms, including a series of large parlors, had been secured for the President. An hour was given for lunch and rest, and at 3 o'clock, Mrs. Cleveland havinr rejoined her husband, the doors of the reception parlors were thrown open, and the public were admitted to shake the hands of the President and his wife. The reception began promptly at 3 o'clock, and continued till 6 A crowd of several hundred ladies and gentlemen were already in waiting in the upper lobby of the hotel when the doors were opened, and, as the orchestra struck up a march, the people moved in rapidly and wade their exit by another door. The President and Mrs. Cleveland received their visitors standing in the middle of the large parlor, under a rich chandelier. Mrs. Cleveland was richly clad in blue surah silk, which had a figure of red rose buds and green leaves. It was medium decollete, trimmed liberally with lacs, and had full lace sleeves to the elbows. Several rows of coral beads adorned her shapely reck, and a diamond brilliant glittered at ber throat. A score of the leading society ladies of St. Louis, beautiful in face and figure, and richly clad, assisted her. The police arrangements inside the hotel were excellent and the line moved cast the President freely, but outside a scene was to be witnessed the oddity of which it would be hard to overstate. The street was narrow, and through its middle ran the double tracks of a busy street railway. An attempt was made -to keep the thousands of waiting visitors in line, six or eight abreast, but every half minute this was broken by the passsage of cars. These fought their way through, crushing the masses together on each side, and forcing hundreds out of their places. Behind each car a crowd followed, and took the abandoned places in the line. The next car pushed many of those forward toward the hotel, with the natural result of crowding an equal number out of line in front. There was a liberal sprinkling of ladies in the mass, and a strong admixture of countrymen of the pure Western type, who had come long distances to see the President. How tbey surged and struggled, how they shouldered and scolded everything but fought. The stream flowed up against the dead wall of humanity wedged into the doorway, split with pressure from behind, and the particles made their way again into the mass in the rear with true Western persistency. Mrs. Cleveland stood to-day to the left and a little in the rear of her husband, and during a great part of the three hours' reception, acknowledged the greetings of her visitors with a smile and a bow, but without taking their hands When the doors were closed the crowd of disappointed ones in waiting numbered many thousands. Colonel Lamont estimates that nine thousand persons took the hand of the President this afternoon. The reception to Mrs. Cleveland this coon, given by Mrs. Mary Scanlan. was attended by about 150 guests, the most fashionable and beautiful women of St- Louis. Mrs. Cleveland arrived at the house shortly after noon, and was met at the carriage-door by a band of children, the little gins of the sisters' school, across the way. The beautiful lawn was dotted with tbeir little forms, and tbey drew around the mistress of the White-house as three of their number presented a hin of crimson roses. Leaving this scene, Mrs. Cleveland was escorted to the north end of the grand parlor of the Scanlan mansion, perhaps the most magnificently and tastefully furnished private hnure in the West. The furniture is of French make, the upholstering Jieavy and of canary color, in keeping with the blue walls; the floor of inlaid woods covered with rugs and ornaments of ware. No pictures adorn the wall. The ladies were presented to Mra Cleveland by Mrs. Scanlan, and she pressed their hands and bad some pleasant word for each as they passed. After meeting all, she was escorted to the state dinlnr-room and seated at the center table with the hostess and four favored guests. The table was handsomely decorated with flowers and fruit. At a number of tables at the side of the room the other guests were seated. When the luncheon was finished the Catholic sisters, teachers of the school of the neighborhood, were presented to Mrs. Cleveland, she remaining seated at the table. On arising she was escorted immediately to her carriage, which was almost covered with flowers, the gifts of the echool children, and was driven to the Lindell Hotel.

The Daily Chronicle of Happenings of Various Kinds in the Two States

A Political Serenade. St. Lotjis. Oct. 3. At half-past 7 this evening the President and Mrs. Cleveland, with their seven traveling companions, were escorted by a new reception committee through the illuminated streets of the city. It is safe to say that not less than 150,000 persons were in waiting along the line of the ride to see the city's guests. At the Exposition tLey were conducted through the balls, but had co opportunity to see anything of interest. In fact, it was with much difficulty that the police escort was able to clear the passage and keep the crowd back behind them. In the auditorium of Music Hall, where the party occupied two reserve boxes, in company with the committee, Gilmore's band of sixty picea played several selections, the first being "Shower of Roses." During the performance of this piece a hanging screen at one side of the stage was let fall, exposing a beautiful life-size oil painting of Mra Cleveland, painted by a Washington artist. From the letting down of the screen to the end of the piece rose leaves continued to fall from the ceiling, high above, upon the picture. The visitors, after listening to the music for a half hour, were escorted to the lecture-room of the Exposition where Mnnkacsy's "Christ before Pilate" was on exhibition. The presidential party reached the hotel at 10 o'clock, and were serenaded by the Hendricks Association, assisted by political clubs from all the wards of the city and from many towns from a distance. The serenade proper was given by several singing societies, and they and the procession, of which they formed a part, numbered fully 'hirty thousand. The President was introduced to the serenaders by CoL David Carruth, and addressed them as follows: Fellow Citizens: For the compliment you have tendered us, you may be sure we are duly appreciative and grateful. It adds another to the pleasing incidents which will make onr visit to )t. Louis kindly remembered. Though our trip which we have undertaken is one or, sightseeing and social intercourse with the people who have extended to us their hearty welcome, it would be affectation on my part if I should appear to ignoie the fact that this evidence of friendliness, and the courtesy which I now acknowledge, are tendered by those who are not only my fellow citizens but members of the political party to which I belong. I hope I may say without offense to any one that 1 am clad to see you, and that I am glad to believe that the heartiness of your demonstration betrays to some extent your Democratic enthusiasm. I feel like confessing to you to night that what 1 bave seen of this vast country and its people since I left home has, if possible, increased my sense of responsibility as a public officer and as a member of a great political iiarty. My official duty I owe to all the people of the land: and whether it is well or ill performed, primarily concerns them and me as their public servant. But I cannot fail in my do y to the country without discrediting you and the party of my choice. These considerations should constrain me to that course of official conduct, as it is given me to discern it. which is marked out by the needs of the people and the good of the country. This tends, in my opinion, directly to the adoption of the principles and practices of true Democracy. It behooves us all to guard against a blind, selfish and unreasoning party feeling, regardless and thoughtless of the country's welfare, and which leads us away from good citizenship as well as true Democracy. And now, in bidding yon good-night, we add our sincere thanks for your pleasant serenade, and for the kind and courteous remembrance of which it is an evidence. The clubs, with their brass bands playing, were still passing at midnight.

THE MORMON HIERARCHY.

Mormon Statistic Operations of the Edmunds Act in Utah. Washington, Oct 3. G. L. Godfrey, A. B. Williams, and Arthur L. Thomas, constituting a majority of the Utah commission, have filed with tbe Secretary of the Interior tbe annual report of tbe commission on the affairs of that Territory. A memorandum at the close of tbe document states that Commissioners Carlton and McClernand, dissenting from many of the views expressed therein, do not sign the report The population of the Territory is estimated at 200,000. a gain of nearly 6,000 since 1880. The alution of the property assessed in tbe several counties of the Territory is given as $35,665,802. The prosperity of the past seven years, says the report, has been equal to that of any former period in the history of the Territory. On April of the present year the total Mormon population in the Territories of Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Wyoming and New Mexico, and the States of Nevada and Colorado, was 162.383, officially classed as follows: Three first president. 11 apostles, 65 patriarchs, 6,444 seventies, 3,723 hieh priests, 12,411 elders, 2,423 priests. 2,497 teachers, 6,840 deacons, 81,283 members, and 40.639 children under eieht years of age. The total church population of Utah was 132.297. The tithings for 18S0 was $540,000. Tbe strength of the non-Mormon element is estimated at 55.000. This element now owns of the assessed property of the Territory nearly one-third, exclusive of railroad property. The different religious denominations have now in Utah 62 churches. These churches have established and control 87 schools, with an aggregate of 668 pupils aod 230 teachers. Since the passsage of the Edmunds law in 1882, 540 persons have been indicted for unlawful'cohabitation. and 289 of these were convicted. The number convicted of polygamy were fourteen. Many of the persons indicted have fled to escape arrest In the enforcement of the law, the report says, the officers of the federal courts in Utah are entitled to special commendation. The national laws relating to bigamy and polygamy have been in effective operation for about three years. The Mormon leaders and their obedient followers have made no concession to its supremacy, and the issue is squarely maintained between assumed relations and the laws of tbe land. The report then cites the already published results of the election under the registry law on the 1st of August last, and of the convention in June, and the subsequent election participated in by Mormons only, in which a constitution was adopted with a view to application to Congress for admission as a State. The commission regards this State movement as an effort to free the Mormon Church from the toils which the firm attitude of the government and the energetic course of the federal officers have thrown around it, and opposes its consummation. During the past year the names of sixty-seven men have been reported to the commission as having entered into polygamy. The commission renews its recommendations of last year, except snch as were enacted into laws at the last session of Congress. The commission also recommends that authority be conferred upon the Governor of the Territory to appoint the following county officers: Selectmen, clerks, assessors, recorders and superintendents of district schools. In conclusion the commission submits that in its opinion the results which have followed from the passage of the Edmunds act bave been verv beneficial to the Territory. It has provided a fair, honest and orderly system of elections, and it is universally conceded by Mormons and non-Mormons that there has been no charge, nor even rumor of fraud, in connection with the registration of votes and the conduct of elections since the commission first commenced its work.

THK SAUOAN INLANDS.

Tbe United States Will Mot Interfere as Against the Germans. New York, Oct. 3. The Washington correspondent of the Herald had an interview with Secretary Bayard, last evening, in regard to Germany and the Satnoan islands. He says it is evident that the recent deposition of King Malieota, of the Samoan islands, and the installation of the rebel Tamasese as bis successor, was not unexpected at the State Department In an interview with the corresponJent Secretary Bayard said: "There is no doubt the Germans bave treated the Samoaas harshly. The statement that the Samoans are arming to repel tbe Germans is, of course, absurd. The islands do not contain more than two thousand people, all told, and these are poorly armed. It will be an affray between a pigmv and a giant" "Is there nothing in our treaty with Samoa which will make it necessary for us to interfere to protect tbe autonomy of the islands?"' Mr. Bavard was asked. 'No. We have no treaty with Samoa. Neither is there a conjoint treaty signed by Germany, England and America. I had hoped we would have one. but" at this point the Sectary paused, and then as if satisfied that he was saying too much, abruptly changed the direction of the conversation. "Our treaty with Malieota's predecessor," Mr. Bayard continued, "of course holds good with the present king. It guarantees us the use of a splendid harbor and cosling station forr.ur naval vessels, but up to the present time we have never availed ourselves of the privilege. I may say on this subject tbat I was notified a week ago that Germany would take this step. I was assured at the same time, however, that America's interests in the islands would be protected, and that it was not Germany's intention to annex tbe islands, but only to punish Malieota for the injustice alleged to have been shown by him to the German trading company doing business in the Samoan Islands." "Suppose, Mr. Secretary," the correspondent interjected, '"that Germany does attempt to annex the islands, will this government interfere to protect Samoa's autonomy?" "This government." the Secretary dryly replied, "is not interfering in the quarrels of other countries. There is nothing in our treaty that demands such action on our part, and so long as America's interests are not molested, I do not see that anything is left for us to do. Before saying anything further on the subject, however. I prefer to await fuller particulars of the affair, which will doubtless reach here a week hence." Mr. Bayard talked freely, and at the same time with that reserve upon certain points which an officer of the administration holding the position of Secretary of State is obviously expected to observe. It is understood that the German Foreign Office notified Mr. Bayard, some days ago. tbat -the German Admiral expected to make the coup d'etat which tbe dispatches announce as having been made. It is also understood that this government will not interfere in the affair, no matter to what length German aggression may go.

MINOR MATTERS.

The Court-Martial in th Case of Lieutenant Weber Acqnllt. Washington, Oct aThe court-martial which met here the latter part of August to try Lieutenant Webr, of the Signal Corps, on charges preferred by General Greely, of neglect of duty and disobedience of orders in failing to send forward his monthly reports promptly from Woods Holl, has returned a verdict of not guilty, and General Sheridan has approved tfc 9 finding of the court The testimony went to show that if Lieutenant Weber neglected his duty in forwarding his reports it was because he "employed his time on several occasions climbing telegraph poles and assisting in repairing signal-office coast-lines that were prostrated by severe storms, when he might have utilized it making out the reports, and thus saved a court martial. A Thrifty Southern Democrat. Washington Special. Senator Pugh. of Alabama, used to speak disrespectfully of Fresident Cleveland, but does not do so any more. Furthermore, an ill-natured acquaintance of tbe Senator supplies the following list or appointments, now accredited to Alabama, as possibly accounting for tbe change ot mind: First J. C. Pugh, son of Senator Pugh, his private secretary in the Senate at $6 per diem during the eeesion. , Second Edward B. Pueh, son of Senator Pugh. clerk to the Interstate Commerce Commission at $1,800 per annum.

Senator Pngb. assistant journal clerk of the House of Representatives. Fifth A nephew of Senator Pugh, Postmaster at Eufaula, Ala. Sixth Hon. William Dennison, grand-nephew of Senator Pugh, Judge of tbe Northern district of Alabama, by appointment of President Cleveland. Senator Pugh is now a strong advocate of the civil-service policy of the administration, and has no faith in the doctrine that to the victor belongs the spoils. He believes that public office is a publio trust, and he is accredited trustee for the State of Alabama. - . General and Personal. Washington, Oct 3.

Amusement Matters. It ia evident that "Across the Continent" is well remembered by theater-goers here. for. although it has not been presented bere for years, the Museum was filled at tbe matiuee yesterday, and packed to tbe walls last night by a crowd that laughed and cheered alternately. The piece is about as sensational as a play could be, and there are numerous comely characters in it which, with a few startling mechanical effects, made it a great "go" at popular priced theaters. The company is large and satisfactory. Mr. Howard Coveney, who plays the part formerly en by "Nr. Byron, is a capable actor, and the cialties of Miss Dickie Deloss, a clever .ian, Max Miller and Dave Onks were a feature. "Across the Continent" will run all week, af ternoon and eveniug. Mr D. Dayman is here arranging for tbe coming presentation of Admiral David D. Porter'a drama. "Allan Dare," at English's, the first part of next week.

It will consist of a minstrel firs, part by members of the lodge, to be followed by an olio of specialties, by members and volunteers. Night is made hideous by the rehearsals, and the bad ball playing of the Indianapolis ball-players is explaioed by the fact tbat Denny, Glarscock. Brown and Seery are wasting their strength rehearsing the baseball tableaux, which will be one of tbe special features. Jerry Denny wijl be one of the end men.
