At 7:30 this evening the President and Mrs. Cleveland, with their travelling companions, were ercorted by a new reception committee tb rough the Illuminated streets of the city. It is safe to say that not less than one hundred and fify thousand persons were in waiting along the line of the ride to see the city's guests. At the Exposition they were conducted through the exhibition halls but had bo opportunity to see any- ' thing of interest. In f act 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 reserved boxes, in company with the committee. Gilmore'a band cfBixty pieces played several selection?, the first being the ''Shower of Roses." During the performance of this pieca a banging screen at one side of the stage was let fall, expiring a beautiful life-sized oil painting of Mrs. Cleveland, painted by a Washington artist From the letting down of the screen to the end of the piece rose leaves began to fall from the ceiling high above npon the picture. The visitors afterl'sening to the music for half hour were escorted to the lecture room of the Exposition, where Munkacsy'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 80cieties,and they aud the prcejsion cf which they formed a part numbered fully thirty thousand. The President was introduced to the - serenaders by Col. David Carruth, and ad dressed them as follows: "fellow cit'zens: For the compliment you have tendered us. you miy be sure we are duly appreciative and grateful. It adds another to the pleasing incidents which will make cur visit to St. Louts kindly remembered. Though the. trip which we have undertaken is one of sight' eeeing and social intercourse, with the people who have extended to tu their hearty welcome, it would be affectation on my part if I should appear to ignore the fact that this evidence cf 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, withoflCo0ens9 to anv one, that lam glad to see you, and that I am glad to believe that the heartiness of yourmemonstration betrays to some extent your Danaocratic enthusiasm." "1 feel like confessing to you to-night that what I have 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 party. My official duty I owe to all the people of the land ; and whether it is well or ill performed, priinariy concerns them and me as their public servant But I cannot fail in my duty to the conn try without discrediting you, andthe party of my choice." "Iheseomsideratiors should constrain me to that course of official conduct, as it is given me to discern it. which is marked out by the teeds of the people and the good of the country. This tends, in ray opinion, directly to the adoption of the principles and. practices cf true Democracy. It behoövea u all to guard agiinjt a blind, selfish, and unreasoning party feeling, regardless and thoughtless of the country's welfare, and whica leads ua way from good citUanship 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. "Ihe clubs with their brass bands playing, were still passing at midnight" Reception t Mrs. Cleveland. St. Louis, October 3. The reception to Mrs. Cleveland this noon, given by Mrs. Mary Ecanlan, was attended by about 150 guests, the moat fashionable and beautiful women of 6t Louis. Mrs. Cleveland arrived at the house shortly after noon and waa met at the carriage door by a band of children, the little girls of the Bisters' school acroes the way. The beautiful lawn was dotted with their little forms, and they drew around the miatreea of the White House, as three of their number presented a ship of crimson rose 3. Leaving this ecene, Mrs. Cleveland was escorted to the north end of the grand parlor of the 8canlan mansion, perhaps the most magnificently and tastefully furnished private boose in the West. The furniture is of French make, the upholstering heavy and of canary color, in keeping with the blue walls, tbe floor of inlaid woods covered with rug3 and ornaments of choice ware. No pictures adorn the walls. The ladies were presented to Mrs. Cleveland by Mrs. Scan J an and she pressed their hands and had tome pleasant word for each as they passed. After meeting all she waa essortcd to the State diniDg-roorn and saated at the center table with the hostesi and foar favored guests. The table was handsomely decorated with flowers and fruit At a number of tables at the side of the room the other guesta were seated. When the luncheon was finished the Catholic Sisters, teachers of tbe school of the neie'aborhoo l wtre presented to Airs. Cleveland, 6he rexnaining seated at the table. On arising she was cicorted immediately to her carriage, which was a'most covered with lowers, tbs gifts of the school children, end was driven to the Llndell hotel. KtUed Oat of Court.

tnre has been closely watched. Judgment was asked for $4,230 and interest at 7 per cent from August 30, 1854, amounting to about f 14,000. The officers of the bank claimed to have lost that sura through a swindle conducted by Khaane, Lyman, Cole and Andrew Finley. The wandering3 of Rogers in Nicarauga and this State were set forth and the bank asked that Rogers be restrained from setting up the Statuts of limitations to prevent the progress of the suit. Judge Sawyer, in rendering his decision, reviewed the circumstances of the case and in a few words announced that the bill of demurrer was sustained. The complaint he deemed insufficient and s'ale and no reasonable cause existed for granting the restraining order. He said that after being discharged, Kissane was at all times liable to snit until the operation cf the statute cf limitation. The banc neglected to commence an action. The plea cf the plaintiffs to the effect that the statutes should cot apply because Kissanes whereabouts were unknown was disregarded. Judge Sawyer said that even if Kiseane did disguise himself and assume an alias it did not disbar him from having fall benefit of the stajnte. IRISH NEWS NOTES.

League Meetings ITeld-The Government Solicitor ia Trouble Notes. Dchlin, October 3. Several branches of the National League held meetings yester day in the Mitchelstown district, in one case hundreds of people evaded the police, and went to a fortihed house outside of town where the meeting took place. Mandeville, who was tried with O'Brien for using ecdititous language and sentenced to two month's imprisonment, bat was released on bail, presided and made a speech in which he declared it impossible to destroy the League. Resolutions were passed strongly condecninz the governments interference with public meetings and freedom of speech. William O'Brien has written a public letter in which he says: "On the day of my conviction at Mitchelstown the Bolici-tor-Gtneral telegraphed in cipher to the Ciown Counsel: "Mistake, O'Brien will beat cs. Harrington will be disbarred at our next meeting." This explains why I received three separate eurnmons. The plot for ruining Harrington is here disclosed with brutal candor. In an interview, Harrington says: 'Terhaps scree of my work at the Mithelstowo inquest is too strong for some of our English friends, but nothing else could elicit the facts from the police. It was only by breaking down the evidance of earlier witnesses, that I c juld change the story arranged by the police. I was informed that a policy had previously been determined upon to give me all the icEolence possible in the witnesses' chair. Sergeant Ryder pledged himself to his companions to Etrike me. This is bora out by his demeanor in the witness;' chair. The Inspector, however, restrained him. Regarding O'Brien's letter I wonlc be surprised if Benchers were ali such foola aa the Solictor General thinks. I would cot be surprised if Dublin Castle fie da itself in an awkward fix when all the facts regarding the refusal to permit Constable SuUivan'a report in evidence, are placed btfore the English people. I attribute the serving cf summonses upon O'Brien and Mayor Sullivan to a desire on the part of the Castle authorities to suppress evidences of their defeat by the proclaimed branches of the National League whoee meetinrs continue as before. The Government will doubtless prosecute other ionrcaJirts than those Darned. Should O'Brien and Sullivan be thrown into prison, it will be a strong plank in our platform, through its effect in England, where the greatest jcaloasy is felt in regards to the rights cf tbe press." Mayor Sullivan will proc?ed instate to the police court Thursday, when his trial ccznes off. The members of the corporatioLB in their robes will accompany him. Gibson, Irish Solicitor General, denies the statement of Wm. O'Brien, tb at the foriner on the day cf O'Brien's conviction at Mitchelstown, telegraphed the Crowa counsel that tbe Government would lose the case and would disbar Harrington, the defendant's counsel. The Crown" counsel a'so denies that he received any each telegram. A score of meetings were publicly held in Ireland yesterday by the League. Tbe police in most cases were baffled in their attempt to ascertain where tbe meetings were to te held. MiTcnxLSTowjf, Ostober 3 The mque3t in the case of the victims of the recent riot wps continued to-day. Inspector Browrrig? deposed that when the police rushed back into tbe barracks, many bleeding from wounds indicted by the mob, he ordered the men to load, but not to fire without orders. When ha heard the reports of rifles he ordered the men to cease tiring. Still, he considered the firing necessary. He comn.ended Constable Kir win for having fired from the door of tbe barracks. Prof. James Stuart, member rf Parliament, and a number of English home rule members were present in court Londoit, October 3 John Bright has written a letter in which he says he has never been more of a friend of Ireland than cow, when objecting to hand that unfortunate country over to the rule of revolutionary rebel conspirators. Justice to Ireland requires cot only that the laws be just but that they be obeyed. "It is my sympathy with the Irish people which forces me to offer strong opposition to Gladstone and Parnell. The latter baa not changed. The former five years ago, condemned and denounced him, but now he comes forward as his apologist and defender." LiMiaicx, October 3 Father O'Leary, of St. Louis, in an oration on Patrick Sarafield, avowed that he was a Socialist and rebel at heart as was every Irishman. He denounced the police as the vermin of Ireland, and said they ceased to be Irishmen when they donned the Government uniform. Cincinnati as a fackinc Town. CxstiHHATi, October 3. The report of Col.

KNIGHTHOOD'S WORLD

How Ptfwderly Tbiiks This Sphere Ought ta be Inste&d of What it is. Mors Prictcil Thia tho Desires of Tfioss Who Priy Without Acting The Knights & PolJtic&I Organization in the Trns Sense efths Wori. Nothing Still But a Corpse The Immigration Question as Powderly Views it The Temperance Question. Mikseafolis, October 3. Master Workman T. V. Powderly, Gen. Secretary C. H. Litchman and most of the other delayed delegates to the Knights of Labor General Assembly arrived this afternoon. The great hall, capable of seating 15,000 people was crowded at the time of the opening of the evening exercises. On the platform were the prominent leaders of the organization, J. P. McGoughey, Secretary of the Cooperative board and a prominent Minne apolis Knight, presided and made a brief opening address. General Master Workman Powderly 's address on "The World as Knighthood would make it," was received with unbounded enthuiasm. It waa as follows: "Mr. Chairman: You hrve justtoid this immense audience that 1 would tell them what the world would be did Knighthood have the making of it I will tell you nothing of the kind. I canoot I willjsay but a few words. My condition is not what I would like to have it to discuss so large a subject I come here tired out. I have been busy for weeks. I prefer to be only a spectator among you. "The world as Knighthood would make it would take more time than I could give it here to-night. 'Thy will be done, Tby kingdom come.' Theee are the words spoken by all denominations in prayer. Do you mean what you say in these words? Men say the Knights can never attain what is aimed at in their declaration of principles. Then they go to church and pray for better things than the Knights ever dreamed of. Knighthood would not pave the streets with gold. The men who pray that this earth be made as the kingdom of heaven would deny us a place in legislative halla. These places are cot the kingdom of heaven. The men who make theae prayers lie when they make them. They are hypocrites. Tbe Knights of Labor respect the law and they intend to take a hand in making the laws. "How many millionaires are there in this room tonight? Laughter. Not one. Well, how many men and women of moderate means? I would cot 8sk you to staad no, for that would get you 11 on your feet We intend to educate our people so that they will be able to go there. They Bhould be educated so that they will La able and fit to take high positions in life. Our organization ia not a partisan organization, but in the true sense of the world it is a political organization. The man who studies with us will be able to vote intelligently; if he is cot there is something wrong with his head. We are an organization. Nothing ever is still but a corpse. We have "kickers." When one bad man kicks there are a thousand good men and women to resent that kick. I say all hail to the kickers. IMMIGRATION QUESTION. "I have been taken to task on a few things. 1 want to say a few things on imrigraticn. It has been charged that I did cot favor immigration. It is a mistake. I am of foreien birth myself. I was not born early eceugh to keep my father from comicg to this country. I would not have done f o if I could. I have no objection to foreign immigration. I favor it. Every lard prart company hes its immigration agents. They bring in all manner of foreigners. If one of these poor creatures raises his band cot against law for he knows not but against what he sees just before him, be is called an Anarchist and is punished, while tbe men who loaded these poor creatures on this country go free. Thunderous applause, I hate Anarchy and I hate Anarchists. How can the child reared in poverty, squalor, ignorance and vice grow up to respect the institutions of this country. When I say stop tbe agent of the steamship companies, take home the agent of the land company, atop importing foreign paupers, let only those come to oui free America who come of their own will to make their homes here, is that saying anything against a foreigner ? Cries of "no," "no,". I thought you would say ro. This ia why I am called a crank on the immigration question. "I am also called a crank on the temperance question. I may be a crank on this Juestion, but I am not ashamed to say that would far rather see a man sober than a drunkard. It ia better to educate our children to be temperate than to be drunkards. There ia not a man living who will say that it is right to bring Into the home that which damns the head ot the family. There are those who have threatened to leave the Order because of my position on this question. I say to all who f would withdraw for such a cause, "Go." I will trust the fate of this nation with sober men and women. I will never take back one word of what I have said on the temperance question, so help me God. The time will come when the workers of all kinds and all classes will be banded together for a common purpose. Coming to this city, I picked up this morning's paper in which I tound a line: 'Tom Armstrong, the editor of the National Labor Tribune, Is dead.' I saw the Btalwart man and all his great work before me. 1 saw him aaylcg to corporate wealth, 'Thus far and no farther." And cow, Tom Armstrong is dead. Let ns hope the mantle that has dropped from his shoulders will fail upon others as stalwart for all good causes. Now, my friends, I have done. It would be a pleasure to speak at crreater length on our principles, to tell you more in detail of the world as Knighthood would make It. But I only hope that every K nig at will leave this house to-night determined to do his whole duty. I would have you educate yourselves for the duties of this world. Let every man, woman and child in this audience leave this place to-nlgat resolving to do this. It ii your duty; eee to it that it Is weil done. J,et every man and woman read and lsy to heart the declaration of principles of this order. Let them do this and when their work Is over they can lie down as did that dead workman ot whom I have just f poien, conscious that their work is done, and well done." THE PEOPLE ARD THEIR GOVERNMENT. The top:c of President J. A. Sireeter, of the Farmer's Alliance, waa "The people, their government." lie began by showing

that in Illinois, farming was cow being carried on t a loss, and the population in rural districts decreasing, while the cities were growing. Continuing, he said: "Chicago to-day boasts of Its millionaires by the hundred. And so have all our large cities, men whose Wealth is fabulou.8 How have these great cities, their abiding places grown up in opulence and wealth? I'll tell you gentlemen you have been killing the goose which layed the golden egg. You gentleman In the gilded palaces should stop and think and gives us a chance. I want to sea one grand organization of the Industrial inter ests of this country. And when we do complete our organization, welded together by common ties of humanity, you will hear something drop. We demand in the name of the people who produce the wealth of America that our families shall not work themselves to death for the benefit of a pampered few. Our fathers made this a government by the common people, and for centuries it continued so to be. But you have changed it and established an aristocracy, but we propose to take it and made It a government for the common people. If that ia anarchy, then here Is a full fleged anarch1st It is our duty tc preserve 'Order and good government, and we will do so. KNIQHTS OF LABOR,

The Annn.il Convention Formally Opened at Minneapolis Monday. Minneapolis, Minn., October 3. The general assembly of Knights of Labor was called to order in Washington rink this morning by J. P. McGaughey, secretary of the co-operative board and chairman of the local committe of arrangements. The rink was handsomely decorated and contained about 3.000 people. Mr. McGaughey read telegrams from Mr. Powderly and Secretary Litchman, stating that they had been unavoidably delayed and could cot arrive until afternoon. Gov. McGill had been called East and was cot able to make the address of welcome on the part of the State. Mr. McGaughey made brief remarks on the growth of the order in the northwest and introduced Mayor Ames, who made a formal address of welcome. The exercises included songs by a specially trained children's chorus. - In response to Mayor Ames' address of welcome, Richard Griffiths, General Worthy Foreman, was introduced in place of Mr. Powderly. He was followed by A. A. Carlton, of the general executive board. He spoke particularly of the growth of the Order, and Baid it would appear when the reports were all in that the Order was not going to pieces, but was in reality stronger than ever. He declared that so long as the many were deprived of their rightful share of the products of the toilers, the Order could have work to do. Kalph üeaumont, of New York, one of the best talkers in the Order, was the next speaker. He said : "It is said that this organization will go down. When it does, another organization, grander and stronger, will be reared in its place. The work of this orean isation hes cot been accomplished. There are men in this organization who will come before the country as leaders yet Twenty five years hence, men who are in the order to-day, will be a power in the land. They will tower in the ranks with men like Blaine, and their power will be felt The work of this organization has just begun. There are principles in It that are bound to stand. The people of America cannot aDord to let tbe organization go down." The convention then adjouned until 8 p. m., when Mr. Powderly will deliver his address on "the world as knighthood would make it." Knlthts of Labor all Rieht. Minneapolis October 3. At a fathering of prominent Knights of Labor this morn ing, John W. Hays, secretary of the Gen eral executive board said: "It is quite generally understood that the order of Knights of Labor is in mach poorer con dition than it wss a year ago, financially and otherwise. That is a mistake, we are in a much better condition. At tbe Rich mond convention we had about 702,000 in tbe organization. That was all. But there were upwards of 30,000 who were not in gocd standing and by rights were not en titled to representation in tbe convention. This year General Secretarv Litchman'a report will show that there are 500.000 in the organization and every one ia good standing. This will be a much better show ing tban last year. Secretary Litchman during the past year has suspended over 2 306 assemblies for non-payment of dues. Bnt a great many of them have come back. Those now in the order are abundantly able to pay up. That's the kind of showing we want to make." TROUBLESOME CROWS. The Agency Authorities In Montana Unable to Control Them, Washington, October 3. A dispatch from Acting Adjt-General Vincent, at St Paul was to-day received at the War Department, through Geneial Terry, stating that a cumber of Crow Indians had just returned, from a raid on the Piegans, to their agency in Montana and had fired into the aeency buildings, and were defiant and hostile. The agent was unable to arrest them with the Indian police and requested that the military be seat Two troops were immediately dispatched from Ft Custer, but they found the condition of afJaire more serious than was expected and were unable to effect the arrest of tbe Indiana. The department commander was appealed to for instructions. In forwarding the dispatch General Terry makes the following endorsement: I find tt difficult to understand this action of the Crows. They have always been well disposed and well behaved, except In respeetto their fends with otner tribes. In our Sioux troubles they were faithful and efficient allies. Moreover arretts for the eame offence that is charged now have been made hitherto without difficulty, and no trouble nas followed. I fear that there may be sorae cause for the present excitement that is not disclosed by the forego log dispatch, and think that it would be the best policy to deUy attempts to make arrests until the excitement shall have abated, laug pest also that it would be well if in the meantime the Indian bureau should send to the sgency one of its most capable and trusted inspectors to examine and report upon tbe situation. I bave instructed the commanding officer at Ft. Custer to confine the action of the troops until further orders, to the protection ot the sgent, bis employes and the aee icy proper.y, ISifmed A. II. Tebrj, Major General Commanding. A copy of the telegram has been sent to the Secretary of the Interior for his consideration. Gen. Terry's conservative views are fully approved at the War Department and it is unlikely that any instructions will be sent from Washington. It is surmised that the trouble arose from an attempt by the agent to prevent the Indians from having their Sun dance when they were in a state of frenzy following their victorious campaign against their old-time foes the I'iegans. Five troops of cavalry are now at the post and following General Terry's views; no attempt will be made to arrest the Indians until they shall have quieted down. John II. Crate, ot Franklin county, Ky., ia visiting in Itatland. The fact that be claims to be tbe great grandson of the first Governcr of Vermont does not make hlra half so conspicuous aa the fact that he weighs SOO pounds.

THE MORMON CflDRCH

Keport of the Govsrnmeat C.mmissioners on the Put Teir'i Work. The Population of tho Territory and the Y&lsition cf Its Property. The Strength of the non-lformon Eiemeat and Its Property Ownership. Knforcement of tbe Edmunds Law andXta Haneficial Effect New Election Iaw'w Power for the Governor. Washington, October 3. G. L. Godfrey, A. B. Williams and Arthur L. Thomas, constituting a majority of the Utah Commission, have filed with the Secretary of W l A 1 1 . A - a At me interior me annual report oi ine uoffl- i mission on the affairs of that territory. A I memorandum at the close of the document states that Commissioners Carlton and McClernand, dissenting from many of the views expressed therein, do cot sign the report. The population of the territory is estimated at 200,000, a gain of nearly 60,000 since 1880. The valuation of the property assessed in the several counties of the territory is given as $35,605,802. 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. In April, of the present year, the total Mormon population in the Territories of Utah, Idaho, Arizona and New Mexico, and the States of Nevada and Colorado was 102,383, officially classed as follows: Three first presidents, 11 apostles, C5 patriarchs, 6 444 seventies, 3,723 high priests, 12.411 elders, 2,423 priests, 2,407 teachers, 0,810 deacons, 1,183 members and 40 639 children under eight years of age. The total church population of Utah was 132,207. The titbings for 1880 were $540,000. The 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 bave cow in Utah 62 churches. These churches have established and control 87 schools with an aggregate of 068 pupils and 230 teachers. Since the passage of the Edmund's law in 18S2, 540 pereons have been indicted for unlawful co-habitation, and 289 of these were convicted. The number convicted of polygamy was fourteen. Many of the perBons 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, the issue is squarely maintained between assumed relations and the law of the land. Tbe report then cites the already published results of the election noder the registry law on the first of August last and of the convention in June and subsequent elections participated in by Mormons only, in which a constitution was adopted with a view to application to congress for admission a State.The commisseon regards this State movement an effort to free the Mormon church from the toils which the firm attitude of the government and the energetic conrse of the Federal officers have thrown around it- and opposes its consumption. During the past year the names of 67 men have been reported to tbe commission as having entered into polygamy, The commission renews its recommendation of last year, except such 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 psssage of the Edmuds Act have been very 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 Las been no charge, cor even rumor of fraud in connection with the registration of votes and the conduct of election since the commission first commenced its work.

THE SAMOAN ISLANDS

Secretary Eiyird Cm See No Reason for Imericin Interference. Full Knowledge of Germany's Intentions A Treaty Made With the Country for a ' Coaling Station. Niw York, October 3. The Washington correspondent of the Herald had an interview with Secretary Bayard last evening m regard to uermany and the bamoan Islands. He eays: "It is evident that the recent deposition of King Malietoa, of the Samoan Islands, and the installation of the rebel lamasese as bis successor, was cot unexpected at the State department. In an interview with the correspondent,Secretary Bayard said: 'There i3 no doubt the German have treated the Samoans harshly. The statement that the Samoans are arm ing to repel the Germans, is of course, absurd. The Islands cot contain more than 2,000 people all told, and these are poorly armed. It will be an affray between a pigmy and a giant "Is there cothing in our treaty with Samoa which will make it necessary for us to mteriere to protect the autonomy ot the Islands?" Mr. Bavard asked. "No; we have to such 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 Secretary paused, and then as if satisfied that he was saying too much, abruptly changed the di rection cf the conversation." "Our treaty with Malietoa's predecessor," Mr. Bayard continued "of course holds good with the present king. It guarantees us the use of a splendid harbor and coaling station for our naval vesEels, but up to the present time we have never availed ourselves ot the privilege. I may say on this subject that 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, end that it was cot Germany's intention to annex the islands, but only to punish Malietoa 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 authority?" "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 Eee that anything is leit for na to do. Before saying anything further cn 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 that the German admiral expected to make the Coup d'etat, which tbe despatches announce as having been made. It is also understood that this government will not interfere in the matter, no matter to what length German aggression may go. SOLDIERS AT CHICAGO. The Great International Encampment Formally Opened I'y the aiayor, Chicvgo, October 3. The InterNational Military Encampment was formally opened this afternoon amid tbe boom of cannon and the toot cf horns. A big crowd oi spectators attended, deepite the soggicess of the ground and the high cold wind that was blowing. When the order had been read, naming the camp after Gen. Sheridan, and a score of gorgeously attired bands had finished the simultaneous rendition of "the Star Spangled Banner," Mayor Roche came forward and heartily welcomed the foreign, regular and National troops and representative defenders of the law, and order. He added: "In this country tbe equal right of all to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is the reck on which the Government stands. And though to Anarchists, insurrectionist?, and plotters against civil government the police and military power is a stone cf stumbling and f. rock of offense, yet whoever falls on this etone shall be broken, and on whomsoever it Bhall fall in righteous judgment he will be ground to powder." The speech making was succeeded by the brigade batallion and company exhibition drills which lasted all the afternoon. The principal arrivals to-day were the Third regiment of Wisconsin militia and the Second Minnesota militia. Though the managers of tbe encampment have been talking about having 6.000 or 10,000 troops here, a high estimate of the number present this afternoon would be 2,500. The Danish and Norwegian contingents are reported to be greatly dissatisfied with the patent barrack tents aesigned them at the encampment They are represented as claiming that the quarters are not up to the standard they had expected. Arrivals at the Military Encampment to-day were mostly from Nebraska aad Wisconsin. This morning General B antley and Governor Beveridge took the visiting Scandinavian officers to call upon General Terry. After the presentation they dined at the encampment grounds, and in the afternoon the officers of Commander General Black's staff and of the commands in camp w ere presented to the distinguished foreigners. In honor of the President's visit a London syndicate will on Wednesday evening produce immense fire works, portraits of th President and Mrs. Cleveland with novel effects which have cot before been seen In this country. On the same evening will be given a grand production, the "Falls of Niagara," the largest piece of fire works, they say, that has ever been seen in this country. It has a grand cascade of fire 350 feet in length. Among the sixty set pieces to be shown Wedcefday eveniDg will be: Ascent of a mammoth ball carrying magne&ian lights, discharging fire works at a great height; Alaiins jeweled tree with sunflower wheel, changing to a mass of blossoms with prismatic center concluding with a golden spray, eccentric fiag rockets, each detaching Moating parachute lights, changirg color many times, discharge ot mines of hifbicg serpents, flights of illuminated tourbelions, celestial stars, bayonet fire, marooned liberations of aerial contortionists, and many other devices which are claimed to be of wonderful beauty and attractiveness, and whicü they say will be the grandest display of fire works ever seen on this continent.

A black snake five feet two inches long entered tbe house ot Alonzo Baldwin, of Missouri City, and dined on four pretty canaries that were In a cag h&xzing stains t the wall.
