the President,

He Visits Quincy, Peoria and Sev= eral Other Points—His Addresses Are Filled with Patriotic Sentiments,

Quincy, 111. Oct. 7.—Cannons boomed and bands played “Dixie” as President McKinley alighted from the Campania, hisprivate car,at the grounds of the Illinois soldiers’ home Friday morning. The sun shone brightly, making almost a perfect day. Fifteen hundred old veterans, inmates of the home, cheered enthusiastically as the president and the members of the cabinet took carriages to be driven between long platoons of soldiers around the beautiful grounds of the home. The president was first escorted tq an improvised platform, from which he bowed and smiled in acknowledgment of the veterans’ greetings, shaking hands with as many as possible. i :

Enthusiasm Runs High,

Then, in company with members of the local committee, the president made a short visit to 'the soldiers’ hespital. The presidential party was next driven from the soldiers’ home to the city proper, a distance of two miles. Company F Fifth infantry, the naval reserves and company F, Eighth infantry, escorted the party through the business distriet. The sailors were supplied with hotchkiss guns, and as soon as the president arrived in sight of the public square a president’s salute of 21 guns was fired. Six thousand school children from all the schools of the city, public and parochial, were massed on the east side of the courthouse, waving flags and singing national airs as the president appeared. The president and several members of the cabinet delivered brief addresses from the reviewing stand at Quincy.

Between Quincy and Peoria three brief stops were made, at Macomb, ‘Canton and Bushnell. At each of these stations the president was escorted from the train to platforms erected for the occasion. The entire population of these towns appeared to have turned out to greet the chief magistrate, and he was invariably welcomed with boundless enthusiasm and applauded. Short addresses were also made at Macomb and Bushnell.

In Peoria.

Peoria, 111., Oct. 7.—A good part of the population of Peoria, the second city of lllinois, took part in an elaborate demonstration to welcome to their city the president of the United States. The great event of the day was the unveiling of a beautiful monument erected by Peoria’s citizens as a memorial to the soldiers of the rebellion, living and dead. The monument is a tall shaft of marble, ornamented at the base with Vronze groups commemorating scenes of the civil war. It is erected on an elevationin front of the courthouse. After his review of the parade the president took his seat facing the veiled monument. After some selections of music andaninvocationby Rev. Dr. John Weston,themonument was unveiled by Mrs. S. A. Kinsey, who has been chairman of the monument committee since its inception in 1893. A great cheer burst from the multitude as the folds of canvas fell away from the shaft. The monument was presented to the city and county of Peoria by Mrs. Lucie B. Tyng, and accepted on behalf of the county by John C. Kingbury, chairman of the board of supervisors, and on behalf of the city by Henry W. Lunch, mayor of Peoria. An address was given by Mr. Kingman, followed by the president, who dedicated the monument in a formal address. : ‘“Fellow Citizens: I am glad with my fellow citizens of Peoria county arnd members of the G. A. R. and Ladies’ Memorial Day association to stand about the monument dedicated to patriotic service and heroic devotion in the holiest cause for which mankind ever engaged. This monument awakens sacred memories, fellow citizens, and that is its purpcse. It was erected by these patriotic women, that it might for all time perpetuate a glorious page of American history. It tells the whole story of the war, the siege, the march, bivouac, battle line, the suffering, sacrifices of the brave men who from ’6l to ’'6s upheld the flag. It tells of every page of history of that civil struggle, and tells of its triumphant consummation at Appomattox Courthouse when Grant acgepted the surrender )f L.ee ard we were kept a nation. ‘““I like this monument. I like this symbol I face to-day—the defense of the flag. That is what we do wherever and whenever that flag is assailed, and with us war always stops when the assailants of our flag face Grant’s terms: ‘Unconditional surrender.” I do not intend to make a speech here to-day. I could add nothing of patriotic sentiment to that already uttered. I desire to express in this presence my appreciation not of the tribute paid to the president of the United States, but of the tribute the people of Peoria and Peoria. county have paid to the great defenders of the American flag in time of our great peril. ‘““You are proud of the monument. You should be proud of the demonstration which led to its unveiling. Six thousand school children of the city with flags in their hands and love of country in their hearts, and I could not but think as T looked at that glorious proof that my country is safe. God bless the school children of America. God bless the patriotic women of the United States and the patriotic band that carried this monument to a successful consumma‘tion.” I

An informal reception and dinner at the residence of J. B. Greenhut was the closing event of the president’s visit to Peoria. The party boarded the train at 8:45, and was rapidly carried to Galesburg to spend the night. ;

TEMPER OF THE BURGHERS.

Will Make Petermined Resistance If the British Troops Cross the Border.

Bloemfontein, Oct. 7. — President Steyn, addressing a commando in Market square, on Thursday, congratulated the burghers on the rapidity with which they had responded to the call. He said the Orange Free State did not intend to make an attack, but that it would fiercely defend its cherished rights. The enemy was strong, but if that enemy crossed the border it would be to meet with a' determined resistance.; .

In concluding he exclaimed: : “We would be fighting for the independence of our state.” London, Oct. 7.—There was almost a complete dearth of news from South Africa Friday. The few dispatches received regarding military movements at various points all tend to confirm the belief that President Kruger will restrain any forward movement by the Boers unless they are fired upon or war is actually declared. It is now practically certain that parliament will meet on October 17. London, Oct. 7. — All the reliable intelligence from South Africa points to a continuance of the existing situation for some time, as both sides are apparently diffident- about commencing an attack, although from the dispatches received here it seems as if every movement of a patrol and every cloud of dust made by a herd of cattle were turned into a general advance by both armies.

Washington, Oct. 7.—Gen. O’Beirne, of New York, whom the Transvaal government has appointed its representative in this country, arrived here from New York Friday night, and has an appointment with Acting Secretary of State Hill for 11 o’clock to-day, when he will take up the matter of his recognition by this government as the South African Republic's aceredited diplomatic commissioner. Gen. O’Beirne said Friday night that he would ask that the friendly offices of the United States government be used to avert hostilities between the Transvaal and the British empire. He was not clear as yet as to the procedure to be followed. The Transvaal'government, he said, probably already has cabled him full instruciions, but they had not yet reached him. Gen. O’Beirne expressed the opinion that war would be averted.

The state department has received from the state secretary of the Transvaal republic notification that it has appointed to be its diplomatic representative in Washington Gen. James R. O’Beirne, a resident of New York, and asked if he would be recognized by our government. Acting Secretary Hill in reply has cabled the state secretary that the rules of the United States government forbid the reception of Americap citizen as the diplomatic representative of a foreign government.

New York, Oct. 7.—The petition to President McKinlely urging him to offer the friendly services of the United States in mediation between Great Britain and the republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State has received the signatures of more than 400 representative men, including 80-odd presidents of colleges, 50 church dignitaries, governors of states, mayors of cities, justices of the United States and state courts, senators, congressmen, editors and others conspicuous in public matters, the professions and commerce.

DEWEY ACCEPTS THE HOME.

Glad to Receive It as a Gift from the

American People — Wants It Furnished.

Washington, Oct. 7. — Admiral Dewey has elected to accept a house in Washington, already constructed,: instead of having one built for his occupation. He frankly expressed his gratification at the tender, which he immediately accepted. He said had the proposed home been the gift of a few wealthy men he would feel indisposed to accept it. Rut he noted that the fund had over 43,000 subscribers, indicating that the home was to be really the gift of the American people, and as such he would accept it with as much pleasure as he had the sword bestowed upon him by congress. He expressed his ideas as to the character of the home he desires, and asked that the house be modest enough in appointments and cost to permit of the retention of a sufficient sum of money from the purchase fund to defray the expense of furnishing it. ;

Farmers \Vofl: a Corner.

Charlestan, 111., Oct. 7.—The farmers appear to have cornered the broomcorn market and prices have rushed up from $6O to $9O per ton.
