TO THE CHANNEL CITY.
The Presidential Party's Trip from
Pasadena to Santa Barbara.


Pasadena to Santa Barbara.
SANTA BARBARA, April 24.-After leav-
ing Pasadena the train stopped for
lew minutes at San Fernando, where
the president was introduced to the
crowd at the station by Mr.. William III.
Hawks, formerly of Indiana, and made
a short speech. A beautiful arch of
evergreens had been erected over the
railroad track in his honor, and ladies
loaded his car with flowers.
SPEECH AT SAN FERNANDO.
The president spoke as follows:
MY FRIENDS: I cannot feel myself
stranger in this state, so distant from
home, when l am greeted by some fa-
miliar face at almost every station.
Your fellow-citizen who has spoken in
your behalf was an old-time Indiana
friend. l hope he is held by you in the
same esteem in which be was held by
the people among whom he spent his
early years as boy and man. Cries of
''He is."] That you should have gone
to the pains to make such preparations,
and to come out in such large numbers
for this greeting,very deeply touches my
heart. l have never seen in any state of
the union what seems to me to
be more happy and contented people
than 1 have seen this morning.
Your soil and sun are genial
healthful and productive, and have
no doubt these genial and kindly in.
fluences are manifested in the homes
that are represented here, and that
there is sunshine in the household as
well as in the fields. Our pathway has
been strewn with flowers. We have
literally driven over miles OF flowers
that in the east would have been price
less, for which am very grateful, anC
everywhere there has been set up a.
having greater glory than the sunshine
greater glory than the flowers, this flag
of our country. Applause Every
where l have been greeted by some o
these comrades, veterans of the late war
whose presence among you should be
an inspiration to increased patriotism
and loyalty. 1 bid them an affectionatt
greeting, and am sorry l cannot tarry
with them longer. [Cheers.l
AT SANTA PAULA.
The next stopping place was SAINT.
Paula, where the president was cordially
received. Here was displayed th
largest solid floral piece the party la
seen since it left Washington. 1t wa
in the form of a sign board, twelve fee
long and three feet wide, and was mad,
entirely of Gala lilies. Across its fac'
was the word welcome in large letters
of red geraniums. A committee of citi
zens boarded the train and presented
the president fve-foot model of an OF
derrick, made of choice flowers. A
speech was demanded and the president
made short address.
SAN BUENAVENTURA.
A short stop was made at San Buens
ventura, where the president was re-
ceived by the local militia and Gushing
post, GAR. A throng of people passed
up to the rear platform to grasp his
hand, and committee of ladies pre-
sented him several baskets of flowers
and japanese plums. Mrs. Harrison
was presented by the children with &
large bouquet of orange blossoms. The
president was introduced by ex-Con
gresham Vandever, and expressed
qualification at their cordial reception

ger and an Englishman named William
Wright had lived with him. AS he under
stood it, the two were brothers-ip-law and
had visited America for the purpose of es-
tablishing themselves in business. Wright
had gone away one day early in February,
and Ruttinger was last seen by him on the
succeeding day. They left all their bag
gage and owed him no money.
So far the search for Wright has devel-
oped nothing but theories. One surmise
is that he was the castor House suicide'
who registered as Fred Evans and cut his
throat in bedroom. Another is that the
body discovered is not that of Ruttinger,
but of some one else, and that the Stutt-
garter is in hiding to await the collection
of big insurance he carried on his life.
Some people suggest that the case is an
other Preller-Maxwel affair, but at the
present all that can be said about it and
backed with proof is that it is a murder
mystery

A HORRIBLE AFFAIR


of
HORRIBLE AFFAIR
at Poso Almonte. Early in February
upward of three thousand men collected
at Poso Almonte to proceed to Iquioue
and make a formal representation re.
specting the scarcity of provisions
Shortly after they reached the works
the manager gave them lot of provis-
ions. The strikers remained there
that night, and the following day
sent some of their leaders to Negreiros
to collect more men. Suddenly a train
appeared, loaded with government
troops under Martin Larrain. Without
psrleying, these troops opened fire on
nine hundred defenseless workmen,
women and children. Shortly after the
forces marched forward and killed all
the men. Meanwhile men from the
Negreiros works, with commissioners
from Ramarese, returned to their
houses, otherwise they might also have
been slaughtered. Some who escaped
from the massacre took refuge in the
nitrate fields, but were subsequently,
followed up and killed. After these
atrocities had been committed, a large
number of men were arrested, OF whom
eighteen were murdered.
The Lima Diario says it is stated that
when the government forces retired
from Poso Almonte, they shot all the
prisoners and destroyed all the nitrate
establishments they passed.
A sANGUNARY BATTLE.
The fight between government troops
and revolutionists at Poso Almonte,
March 7th, was a sanguinary one. Four
thousand troops were engaged, of whom
three-fourths were government forces.
More than one thousand killed and
wounded was the result. The govern
ment forces were routed, with the loss of
all their artillery and the greater part of
their infantary. The survivors fled, and
meeting Barbosa's column at Papta, re-
tired toward Gamma. The revolutionary
army committed many atrocities.
MOVING AGAINST VALPARAISO.
Advices received in Callao March 31st,
state that the revolutionary squadron
transporting all of the revolutionary
land forces, has sailed, with the object
of attacking Valparaiso. The officers
and crews of the revolutionary squadron
are said to have signed pledge, binding
themselves not to lay down their arms
until they have hanged President Bal
maceda in the municipal square in San
tiago.
AFRICA AND TARKNA TAKEN.
A cable message from Lima, April
11th, says news has been received from
Iquique that africa and Tarkna have
been taken. All of the latter depart
ment is now in the hands of the con-
gressional party, who also have control
OF all the northern portion of Chile as
far south as Copiapo. There was no
fighting, the government forces having
fled toward the frontiers of Bolivia.
DISTRESSED REFUGEES.
A number of distressed Peruvians
have been given tree transportation from
Iquique and other southern ports. The
condition of many refugees at Iquique
is horrible. Provisions were recently
30 scarce III Iquique, owing to the block
ade, that $40 was paid for can of pre-
served milk, and beef sold at $40 per
pound. The Peruvian consulate is daily
besieged by Peruvians seeking provisions
and transportation for themselves and
families.

The Devils Table.

Many readers have heard learned
friends or travellers allude to the
Teufclstisch and the Glass palace with
out the least idea of the interesting OBJ
jects referred to. To quickly come to
the point we will say that the Teufel-
stisch is the name given large, fiat
rock lying near Graefenberg, Bavaria.
Translated into English the meaning of
the word is Devils table. Regularly
at midnight on the night of May 1 the
ghosts of the ancient kings of France
used to assemble around the Teufel-
stisch and hold q fantastic banquet.
Later on some folklore writers claim
that glass palace, invisible to mortal
eyes, sprang up at that point with the
DEVILS table in the center. From mid
night until daylight on the date men
toned above, Gambrinus, the inventor
of beer, sported around the big fat
rock with others of the shadowy crew.

America come in for the largest share,

Germany, spending on postage and tel
