FANCIERS OF FLYING FEET.

TME FIRST DAT OF THE RACES A

An Immense Crowd Greet* the World Famoa* Flyer* at the Terre llaate Fair Ground* Ttal*

Afl*nioo»-Hoi«t.

The unpropitious aspect of the weather Sandfly and Sunday night tended to very materially dampen the ardor of the enthusiast*. Many were the prophecies that the week would bring a dismaJ protracted rainfall, and that the great meeting wonld be robbed of all the pomp and magnificence which all other indications donated would characterize it. The wind raised yesterday, however, and the eun shone oat with gratifying warmth and brightness—the only prerenisi ties to a fast track and a consequent unequalled exhibition of racing performance?. The smile of the solar orb revived and cheered the drooping spirits of the thousands of lovers of the noree in the city, and again the picture of a peerless week of track displays arose before tbeir tickled vision. The effect was simply electrical. The breeze that blew the clouds from the sky likewise wafted away the languorous sullenness that had settled over the horsemen, and noisy activity succeeded to lethargic repoee.

The corridors of all the hotels were scenes of hubbub and confusion from an early hour this morning until the crowd began departing for the grounds. The one subject to be heard on every hand was horse. Old men talked about it, young men talked about crowd, jam and jabber were the pastimes of the throng. The hotel registers, already bearing the nauies of hundreds of visitors who had come in early, werestill being mpidlv added to even at noon today. A glance over their pages reveals names numberless of the galaxy of horsemen such as was never before gathered together in one city on one occasion in the historv of the American turf. This fact should cause the loyal Terre Haute heart to swell with a pride that there is no mistaking. The city Btands aot only peerless with reference to its sisters in Indiana, but pre-eminent as a horse center in all the Western country. There area few persons in town who mi^ht put this in their pessimistic pipes, draw hard and inhale.

Yesterday was an occasion of considerable importance at the grounds. The track wa9 slightlv heavy, of course, but this did not hinder the drivers from jog

bis assistants combined to gradually put the track in condition. This work was kept up until nine o'clock this morning, when the results warranted a cessation and the track was declared to be in condition for this afternoon's races. All arrangements for tho great events of the week had been completed before this morning. A largo attendance is expected on each day, provided the weather continues fair, and ample accomodations have been arranged for the proper taking care of the crowds.

The pool selling at iasig's last night on to-day's races was spirited and engaged in with unusual enthusiasm. In She citizen's stake for 2:22 class, Mcttoel brought $50 and the field $20. In the Wabash slake, 2-year-olds, Bianca sold for $75 Free, $25 Chiquireta, $10 field, S10. In the 2:18 pace the pools sold with a rush: Grant's Abdallab, $rri) Chesterfield, §50 Fret I W., $20 Fiuley, $20 Wayne Wilkes. $15 Albatross, $12 Harry Jones, 815 Siinmie, $10 field, $8. The betters put up without hesitancy, knowing that races over the Terre Ilauta track must be on tho square and that the association will not tolerate any form of trickery. ...

The starter is F. B, Walker and the judges L. A. McDonald, Pittsburg, Pa. 0. F. Putnam, citv Olel Crevehng, St. Louis and O. Watson, city, secretary.

CltlxenV

Three starters came up for the word in the 2:22 claw toot and after three or four trials they got off. The heat wra won by McDool. with Walter E. second and Diamond third.

THE BOOK INDUSTRY.

The Price or Metal «oea Up and crease* the Coil.

CmcAc-o, October 7.-The book unllishlng interest of this city and which represents an invested capital of many millions of dollars is appalled at the prospect of the trade in the light of the new tariff bill. Outside of paper and type everything entering into the manufacture of books has been materially advanced. The duty on Dutch metal, not one pound of which is made in this country. and which can not consequently be tailed a protected industry has been doubled, and, consequently, its price has advanced from 75 cents to $1.50 per pack. A single book binding firm, which some time ago accepted a contract based upon the old figures, and which calls for the consumption of one hundred packs of this metal per day for the next three months, fiuds itself involved in a loss upon its contract figures, of $75 per day for this period upon this item alone.

In addition to this buffing skins have advanced from 6 cents per foot to 10 cents, gold leaf from $6 a pack to $8.50, oil cloth 30 per cent, while sheep skins have gone clean out of sight. The president oi one of the largest subscription book publishing houses in the city, states that upon a careful figuring of the advanced tariff rates, as applied to liis total business for the year ending September 30th, the bill will increase bis expenses by a minimum of $25,000 during the coming year. On the other hand, owing to the competition in the publishing trade it will be impossible, he says, to add even 1 per cent, to the price of the books issued by the bouse.

The firm must either stand the entire loss or seek to recoup itself some proportion bv reducing salaries and commissions. In the same "business the price of the plushes us(kl for bookbinding have advanced 70 cents per yard, although these goods are manufactured by only one firm in America, tho Dobaons, of Philadelphia. At the wholesale house of J. B. Farwell & Co., this morning an invoice was shown of a bill of goods amounting to $12,000 and which arrived here on Thursday. Had the consignment boen delayed until to-day, the extra duties would have amounted to $11,219.

WASHINGTON, October 7.—Secretary Blaine said this afternoon that he could not at this time, say positively whether he would be able to take an active part in tho Ohio campaign or to accept the invitation to attend the exposition at Atlanta. He said that McKinloy had sent him an invitation and that he had promised to render him all the assistance In his power. He would like very much, he said, to go to Ohio in Mr. McKinlev's interest, just as it would give him pleasure to go to Atlanta, but the business of the department, he added, is just now so

Kssing that he did not see very well ie could absent himself, especially as the president is away.

journey from Danville to Peoria will

It is probable that the train will be sidetracked at some of the intermediate towns and the president afforded the opportunity for a night's rest. The special will leave Peoria at 7:40 a. m.*to-morrow, via the C. B. & Q. Galesburg will be reached at 9:50 a, m.. where the programme will be carried out as ^previously announced, occupying the entire day and evening. ''Tf

The Platform.

The platform was situated just to the east of the union depot on the north side of Chestnut street The location was not as favorable as could be wished lor, but owing to the fact that President Harrison's stay in tho city was to be limited to half an hour, tho committee, thought best to have it as near to the place where the train would stop as dossible, and accordingly chose that site. The platform was erected this morning and wao about ten by fifteen feet in length and width. It had »a railing completely surrounding it- The stand was built with a view of accommodating about thirty people, |nd it was crowded to its fullest capicityf The press was provided with two tables conveniently situated so that every word spoken by Persident Harrison and Mayor Danaldson could be caught by the sharp ears of the reporters. TIIK NEWS'abort hand reporter was on the platform and took a verbatim report of the speeches. THE NEWS man was the only stenographer on the platform

The fact that the committee was com^ pelled to accept that as a location for the platform from which the president was to speak was especially unfortunate at that nour, owing to the number of trains which were arriving and departing from the depot during the exercises. There was two trains on the E. & L, one coming in theT. H. *L, north and theVandaUa had two trains going wast These in addition to keeping up a continual clatter, were a continual menace to life and limb. On the east are several more tracks where switch engines are continual lv moving to and fro and the space which was Plotted to the crowd was thus trade very small. Chestnut street was crowded and it was almcwt impossible to get through with a ^hide.

The platform was beautifully decorated with various colored bunting and flap and made a my pretty display. On the south side was a wide stairway leading to the floor and near thii the President's table stood. TM tWo presa tables were ia the rear of the President table.

As soon as the train puued at the depot the president and his party came out of the car and stepped onto the platform. Cheers greetetf the party when they made their appearanca at the door of the coach and cries of "Harrison!" "Harrison!" could be heard above the cheering. As soon as the members of the party were seated Mayor Frank Danaldson stepped forward'and began his welcoming address.

AT GALESBURG.

Opening of the Reunion in that City To-Day.

GALESBUKG, Ills., October 8.—The annual reunion of the first brigade of the third division of the Twentieth Army Corps and which included the Seventieth Indiana regiment, the Seventy-Ninth Ohio and One Hundred and Second, One Hundred and Fifth, One Hundred and Twenty-ninth regiment", opened here today. President Harrison commanded this brigade during the latter part of the rebellion and he will reach here to-mor-row to meet his old comrades in arms. Comrades are gathering to-day but the formal exercises of the reunion will be postponed until the arrival of the chief executive. The town is handsomely decorated in honor of the event and is overflowing with visitors.

The procession will be one of the largest ever seen here. The militia companies of Ottumwa, Morrison, Cambridge, Quincy, Monmouth and Rock Island have already sent word that they wilt be here. Coionel Clendenin and staff, of the Sixth regiment, and Battery D., of Chicago, aro expected. Many Grand Army posts will be here in a bodv. The school children, provided with Harrison badges, will take part in the procession. The brigade wants to go to Peoria Wednesday morning and accompany President Harrison here.

Mayor Stevens is to deliver the address of welcome. The railroad companies are experiencing ditficulty in procuring cars enough to bring all those intending to come. The indications are that there will be here the largest crowd that ever assembled in Galesburg and the only fear is that there will not be accommodations enough for all.

DENIES IT.

Says There is Nothing in the Colon lata tion Scheme.

WHEELING, October 7.—Congressman Atkinson denies the negro colonization scheme in West Virginia. He admitted that he had been in consultation with different persons at different times in regard to encouraging good men, especially coal miners, to come to West Virginia and assist in developing the mineral resources. He was surprised that any one should put up a howl over that kind of work on the part of any enterprising citizen, and characterizes it as a scheme to "defeat the will of the people in the ©lections." How it can be said that to encourage reliable workingmen to come to Wast Virginia two years before an election is a job, is a startling, piece of information to any one who has a thimbleful of bfaim^^

"The richness of these mines is simply wonderful, and one who has not been there can hardly believe it, but I state a fact when I tell you that there is enough tin on the dumps and in sight now to supply the United States for fivo years.

As soon as the big mill is started at Hill City we shall then bo able to ship the tin out in bars. Some of these mines have been pushed down 240 feet, and the deeper the richer.

Terre Haute wanted -10,000. We didn't think we would get it Then we wanted S5,000. We were told it would be about that figure. It wouldn't do to break the news at once. It was necessary to let us down lightlv or there would have been a howl. We were assured that we had 33,000, then finally a drop of another thousand. 30,000 is more than we can bear. Why, oh, why were we ever born to suffer such chagrin, all because the census enumeration was carelessly and bunglesomely conducted

the corpses which people are afraid to touch and vast flocks ot vultures dispute forprev with four footed scavengers. From the interior of Arabia accounts are fully as heartrending. The victims are reported numbered by thousands. Tho famine continues to prevail in the Soudan and the raid of Oaman Digua's men on Tokar a few days ago was only an effort to obtain food which the British government has prevented from being sent to the tribes that have given their allegiance to the Khedive. Snakim is thronged with orphans of those who have perished through the war, and privations and several acts of cannibalism are reported among the starving Hadendowers. The hospital at Snakim is full of sick and the British Relief Society is administering to the wants of the suffering.
