THE PUEISDENT'S SPEECH.
I -resident Harrison then advanced to the
front of fie platform and delivered what is
conceed'1 1 to be a masterly effort. He said
;n brief: "My fellows citizens We have
been Miu.-aeving for several days through
e great state of Texas. We are now about
to leave this state and receive from you
this pat ing salutation. Our reception
in this nate was every demonstration of
respect and enthusiasm. This greeting by
ti e cit ize: of El. Paso and Mexico is a nt-
Tia dt'f'J. I'm glad to state this is the
gateway f trade with the grand republic of
Mnxito 'great applause). I'm glad to
itiow it is also the gateway of friendship
iupplar.sv). I receive with unbounded sat-
isfaction 'hese tributes of respect that have
b' en brought to me by the government
of ri'iii lahua and the Mexican Mili-
tary (are.it applause). I desire to extend to
all our visitors not only my personal re-
gard b iv. the continued assurance of the
respt'i t of the American people (applause).
I look forward to a large development.

j.la.ise). I extend the most cordial con-
fimtala'.ijn ior your future prosperity.
Great tpplause). I rejoicethat these in-

attract foreign capital or increase
friendship unless you have a
reputa'ion for social order. I trust as your

are carefully laid and you may hope that a
magnificent structuie shall arise in its
stead. To my comrades of the Grand Army
of the Republic I wish to extend my most
heartfelt ereeiinjj; who were as magnani-
mous to the vtiiiquislitd as to the victors;
who only laid upon the vanquished
the yoke of obedience to the law
( loud applause). Yon will excuse me from
further speech. Again sirs to the Mexican
visitors l tnanlc vou tor tins tud ereetniir
aim to you my countrymen I extend m
neartlell. thanks and wish vou good bye.
At the conclusion of the uiesuleiu's
speech he was cheered to the echo. The
platform was then partially cleared and an
informal reception held. Thousands of
people ot both sexes and all nations ad
vanced and availed themselves of the op.
portuniiy to shake the band of the presi
dent. Alter the reception ' bad concluded
tne party re-entered carriages and were
driven through the principal streets to the
train. There again every demonstration of
respect was tendered him ana promptly at
11 O'clock. Ihe schedule time tne presi
dential train left for the West accompanied
dv a misntv cheer.
At the traiu Governor Carrillo was in
troduced to the President and there lend
ered him the freedom of the State of
Chihuahua and informed him that be
knew the laws forbade that the president
should leave the United States but that if
be could fin 1 it convenient TUiihuabna
would tender Benjamin Harrison a spon-
taneous welcome.
After the president bad responded Mrs.
Harrison said that she was not debarred
from leaving this country and that she
could do as shesaw fit. Accordingly wbile
the president was holding his reception the
ladies of the party went visiting in Juarez.
Unfortunately Dearly all the stores were

RAILWAY RULES.
Decision of the Inter-State Commerce Com-
mission The Qnestlon of Preferences.
Wa8ihnton. April 21. The interstate
commerce commission today in an opinion
by Commissioner V assey decided tuecase
of-Johu P. SouireJc Co. against the Michi
gan Central Railroad company New York
Railway company ana nuason mver com
pany and the iJoston and-Aioany roads
involving the rates ol trai sportation ot
live cattle and meat product in favor of
complainant.
The points aecioea are Dneny as iouows:
First The provision of the third section
of the act to regulate commerce prohibiting
earners from making or giving an undue or
unreasonable preference or advantage to
any particular person firm company
corporation or locality on any particular
description of traffic in any respect whatso-
ever not only applied to the relaiive rates
on one description of traffic shipped to or
from competing localities but also to rela-
tive rates on difi'erent.y described articles
which are competitive in the same markets
and when carriers have estatjnnea rales on
articles of competitive traffic which are rel-
atively reasonable and fair tney cannot
arbitrarily select particular articles oi sucn
traffic and materially raise of lower tales so
established thereon without -violating that
provision of the statute.
Second Rates for transportation . of
property should be based upon existing
fixed facts and permanently continuing
conditions among which are the bulk
weight and general value of a commodity
and the expense of carriage
but purely commercial consideration
as tne cost ana rents ana tanor
rates of taxation fluctuating market
prices ana general geograpnicai advan-
tages or disadvantages of business location
are neither legitimate factors nor fixed and
stable conditions which can be lawfully
considered it adjusting relative rates. The
proper relation ot rates strictly compe-
titive articles should be determined by ref
erence to the respective costs of service as-
certained with all possible accuracy.
Third The violation bv one carrier ol
the principles laid down in this case as gov-
erning the relative rates on competitive
articles does not justify similar violations
by us competitors.
Fourth The rates Involved in this case
are those on live hogs live cattle and
dressed products of each. These are found
to be competitive commodities and they
are entitled to relatively reasonable rates
for transporlion propcitionate to each other
according to their respective costs of
service.
San Marcos Si f tings.
San Marcos April 21. Copious rfcitis
have fallen in this section. The earlh is
thoroughly saturated with the life-giving
fluid and the crop prospects are fine. The
rain is worth thousands of dollars to the
county.
Today was a gala day for San Marcos.
The gallant fire boys took possession of the
city and their grand parade drew a large
company of spectators. The hose carts of
the hose companies and the truck of the
hook and ladder company were gaily dec-
orated and in each one was seated a beau-
tiful little girl with delicate draperies and
festoons of flowers floating around her as
the gentle breezes tDyed with the dainty
ringlets and stole kisses from the rosy
cheeks and ruby lips. The Gem City
Military Band furnished excellent music
and several prominent citizens addressed
the gallant firemen who were in full uni-
form. . .
Supper will be set in the Hmzte building
this evening after which the votaries ot
Terpsichore will enjoy the mazy dance at
the court house and those not addicted to
"tripping the light fantastic" will seek
amusement at the pleasant home of Miss
Abbie King.
Capt. E. P. Raynolds who has been dan-
gerously ill of fever is much better.
Next Thursday has been appointed Deco-
ration Day and the business bouses will be
closed to allow all to take a part in thecere-
monies at the cemeteries. After thegraves
have been decorated there will be music
and addresses by the ministers of the dili'er
ent churches.

STATE ALLIANCE.
IMPORTANT MEETING OF
THE ORDER AT WACO
YESTERDAY.
SPEECH OF PRESIDENT EVAN JONES
Severe Uexolutinus Adopted Denoiiueliig
the Authors of the Keeeut Circular
Ketleuting ou the I.euders of
the Order.
Waco. Tex.. April 21. When Evan
Jones president of the State Alliance
called the body to order in this city this
miming there were about 300 delegates
present besides the following leaders of the
organization in this and other states:
Evan Jones president of the Texas State
Alliance.
L. F. Livingston president of the Geor
gia State Alliance.
.1. t. Tillman of Tennessee member ot
the national executive board.
Alonzo Wardell of Huron Dakota.
C. W. Macune of Washington D. C.
E. T. Stackhouse of Little River South
Carolina.
G. L. Clark of Stephen ville chairman of
the Texas judiciary committee.
J. T. Crawford of Cisco chairman of the
state executive committee of Texas.
Dr. J. 0. Fields ex-presidentof the Texas
State Alliance.
After singing "Nearer My God to Thee"
and the pronouncing of the invosation Dr.
Fields was called to the chair and the
meeting proceeded to carry out the pro
gramme as arranged by the committee.
Mayor McCullough delivered the address
of welcome in which he stated that ne rec-
ognized the fact that the farmer held the
interests of the country in the palm of their
hands and were largely responsible for the
weal or woe of the masses. He extended
them a very warm and cordial welcome to
the Geyser City.
Mr. Stump Ashby of Tarrant responded
to the welcome in one of his alleged humor-
ous speeches and succeeded in bringing the
house down.
President Evan Jones was then .introduc-
ed and apoke at leugth. .
PRESIDENT EVAN JONES
said he was glad to see such a representa-
tive body of men present as they were
truly the representatives cf not only the
Alliance of Texas but of the bone and
sin-.w of the country. He said that it was
to' them that ttie people looked for protec-
tion from the gigantic corporations that
were oppressing them and that they would
stand firm until they had succeeded in pro-
curing relief for the sutl'ering masses. He
discussed the organization known as the
Alliance from its incipiency down to the
present time and proceeded to lampoon
corporate power from Alpha to Omega. Mr.
Joues is the Alliance lecturer of the state
and his speech was about the same
as the one he has delivered
lour thousand times before. He said the
Alliance did Dot organize for the purpose of
antagonizing any particular business or
calling but simply for t he purpose of pro-
tecting the people and saving the govern-
ment. The Alliance was the great chan-
nel through which to correct existing
abuses and bring the people closer to-
gether as well as to place the government
back into their bands where it belong d.
The idea that we must work harder and
produce more to improve our depressed
condition is misleading many people. The
opinion is erroneous. The more we in-
crease the products of our industries the
worse our condition gets it seems to me. The
tact is neither over production or under-
production is responsible for the deplora-
ble condition of things. It is the scarcity
of money in this country. The average
farmer mav work from morning until
night day a'fter day and year after year
and he can hardly make enough to feed
and clothe his humble and economical
fan.ily. But if we are true to our organiza-
tion and the principles it sets forth we
will gradually force the enactment of such
laws as the people demand and as will give
us relief. Our principles are as eternal as
the snow-capped hills and can never die.
We are demanding nothing but what is just
and right. We are opposed to monopolies
and to the alien ownership of lands. We are
opposed to being dictated to by the money
barons. We demand the iree and unlim-
ited coinage of silver. We demand that
both gold and silver shall be supplemented
with a sufficient paper money to supply the
demands of trade. This in a nutshell is
our platform. Today all eyes are turned
on Waco. The eyes of the world are watch-
ing this body. We are expected to devise
ways and means to carry our principles
into effect. You are here from the east
south north and west. Texas great and
glorious Texas is represented. We must
plant our feet upon the demands of our
order. The Alliance tidal wave is spread-
ing to every nook and corner of the
state. Never was.onr star as bright
as it is today. The people are
convinced that we are going to give them
relief and they are with us heart and soul.
We will from this time on make our power
felt throughout the length and breadth of
the land. In the future our shibboleth will
be "Give us liberty or give us death." Let
us make this the grandest meeting in the
history of the Farmers Alliance of Texas.
Amid great applause the meeting then ad
journed until 2 o'clock Chairman Fields
announcing icat.au executive session woum
be held at 2 o'clock with closed doors.
The meeting then adjourned until 8
p. m. Chairman Fields announced that
there would be an executive or secret ses-
sion held during the afternoon.
THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
The Alliance delegates who are now in
thiB city are a representative body of men
and come directly from the rank and file of
the farmers of Texas. They are plainly
antagonistic to the present state adminis-
tration' and the general impression is that
tomorrow they will adopt resolutions con-
densing several things in connection there
with. They make no bones of asserting
thtir opposition to the present policy and
order ot things and the resolution will
doubtless be rich ami racy reading.
The first thing done by the executive ses-
sion this afternoon was to indorse the course
pursued by the Alliance legislative steeriug
committee. The sub-treasury scheme was
then broached and handled with care but
uv m;uuu was taKen inereon
Macune is here and while it is charged
by some that he and his triumv'rate are
working in the interest of a "third party"
it is jnsi as vigorously denied by the leader
of the gathering. Whether it is true or not
this meeting will surely sit down on every-
thing lookyig to a third party movement.
The Texas leaders declare that they will
have none of it.
The sub-treasury scheme is the apple of
Macune's eye and it remains to be seen
whether or not he can get it endorsed. Tue
opiniou tonight is that he will not.
It is bardlv a safe bet that some of Gov
ernor Hogg's warm friends.in facta portion
ui ma umciai lamuy is nere ana one gea
iimiiuu remarKea tnnignt tnat they were
here to use their influence with the Alli
ance leaders to prevent the meeting from
passing resolutions concerning the admin-
istration. The same gentleman aiso ex-
pressed the opiniou that they would fail in
this mission as the resolution
iy be adopted. .
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
During the executive session of the State
Alliance meeting held this evening the
Alliance steering comu.ittee cot in its work

Aldance brothers and
Whereas said gentlemen having forgot
ten the sacred obligation which they took
when the became membersof the Farmers
Alliance have ignored said obligation by
circulating in a published circular and
through the newspapers a malignant false
and malicious libel against our worthy
president Evan Jones ex President Fields

who were placed in Austin by the author
ity ot the Farmers Alliance as a
legislative committee and also agdns
the editors of Tue Southern Mercury which
is the official organ of our order in the
state ot l exaa in all of which they have
violated their obligations voluntarily
taken upon themselves as Alliance men.
Therefore be it
Resolved By the delegates trom nearly
every county in the state now assembled
in Waco in conference for the good of the
order that we denounce ill no measured
manner the acts of all the signers of said
circular as being false to the order false to
their families and false to their God and are
unworthy of a place iu the great order o

individual confidence in brothers Jones

nearly support ot tne editor ot tne Jilurcury
and invoke Gud'a richest blessings on each

I -'.earnest support in carrvine on the
great work of reform to liberate their co
workers from the bonds of servitude that
monopoly is fastening on us. v
NIQHT SESSION.
When (he Alliance delegates got together
tonignt another song was sung after which
Editor Coleman of the Southern Mercury
addressed the meeting. He confined his
remarks to a discussion of the great money
power and said the time had come when it
was actually controlling the sacred ballot
box and the legislation of the nation. He
illustrated by showing that a man's social
as well as political standing depended al-
most entirely on the size of bis bank ac-
count. He said that even in Rome the
poor man was more respected and given a
better chance than is extended to him in
free America but that the money power
destroyed that government He did not be-
lieve that the people of this country could
ever be happy and prosperous until
they succeeded in controlling
and suppresssing the powerful
and demoralizing influence of the money
power. He thought this country was rap-
idly drifting into the deplorable condition
that Ireland finds herselt in and that if
something was not done the commune
would soon hold high carnival here. This
would speedily destroy the government and
annihilate all happiness and civilization.
It was just such enemies as these that the
Alliance was fighting and it proposed to
win the fight. It could easily no so if the
members would stand together." He wound
up by arguing that the farmers onebt to
hold the offices. "Why my countrymen
yon take a sensible farmer who has studied
the questions of public policy and he is
better qualified to make laws than any man
in the national legislature today. I tell
you that the election of Buch men is the
oasis of all prosperity and free govern-
ment." He wound up by stating
tnat he was from Michigan and saying
that the man who recognized the terrible
condition of things and who did not do all
in his power to bring about a change was
"a traitor to his family to his country and
to his god."
After Mr. Rumph ex -lecturer of theState
Alliance bad spoken in the same strain
the meeting adjourned until tomorrow.

Cincinnati April 21. No better weather
could be desired than is favoring the first
day's meeting af the Republican league of
the United States. Delegates arrived in
great numbers on the morning trains and
various headquarte'S were busy with pre-
liminary arrangements as well as with the
exchange of views. with regard to the man
who shall ba choBen for the presidency of
the league. The election however wil1
not take place today. Musio ball where
the meeting took place was beautifully
decorated with national flags and festoon-
ing of national colors.
Twelve o'clock Ihe hour set for the
opening of the convention foutid less than
a score of delegates in their places
and the subsequent gathering was very
slow.
At half hast 12 with still many places
unfilled delegates began to test the ca
pacity of the mnUo hall by singing
songs of the campaign and political cam-
paign. Three-quarters of an hour later the
music of the brass band announced the
coming of the dignitaries who were to be
heard in the opening exercises. President

Then followed prayer by Key. inward

Continuing be said: "We. in Ohio are

that we are to take the McKinley bill for

in nomination as our leader." (Lcng and
continued cheers.)
Then followed Mr. W. I. Squire of To-
ledo president of the Ohio Republican
League. Hon. H. H. Powers replied to the
addresses of welcome and President
Thurston made his address.
When President Thurston's address ended
there was a provision made for the ap
pointment of committees and a motion was
adopted to meet tomorrow at 10 a. m.
During the confusion that preceded ad-
adjournment an Indiana delegate Mr. Cole
of Sbelbyville created a limited sensation
by declaring tnat ne wouia can a
mteting to denounce the treatment of
President Harri-on. He was quieted.
His complaint arose from the allusion of
Foraker to Blaine as "having given a mag-
nificent administration." The manner in
which the applause followed that declara-
tion showed that there was a feeling as if
there was an intentional ignoring of Presi
dent Harrison. The Indiana delegate was
quieted for the time and the convention
adjourned.
Mr. uole subsequently canea a meeting
of Indiana delegation and proposed that
some formal notice of t'te matter be taken.
After consideration it was decided to refer
tbe;matter to the committee on resolutions
inasmuch as it was thought likely that
Foraker did not intend to convey the
meaning that Blaine was the ruling spirt of
the administration but of bis own office of
secretary of state.
