or Odd FolIows-st. Louis Filled to over-
howIng-Tho Grand Parade.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 2l.-The first
day of the Twenty-second Conclove of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge, /. o. o. F.,
opened with heavy mist enveloping
the city. The hot weather Of the past
week gave place to a somewhat cooler
atmosphere to the great delight Of the
thousands OF Odd Fellows who partici-
pated in the parade this afternoon. The
reception COMMITTEES were at the union
depot early this morning, and the large
delegations arrived were promptly re.
ceived and escorted to their assigned
quartersinthe most expeditousmanners::
It is estimated that over $4,000 Odd
Fellows and their families are in the
city, besides many other thousands who
have come simply as spectators OF the
pageant. The streets presented a lovely
and animated spectacle. Everywhere
in all directions could be seen tho golden
braided uniforms and the swaying OF
purple plumes OF the cantons and the
regalias Of the lodges. By O'Clock
those who were to take part in the pa
rade proceeded to their assigned places
from which they were to drop into line.
These points were the streets crossing
Lucas Place and east OF Jefferson ave-
nue.. There was but little delay and
shortly after 2 o'clock the immense col
umn began to move.
AS the procession moved along the
streets the maneuvers Of the various
cantons were received with much en-
thusiasm, the Patriarchs Militant, with
Lieutenant General Underwood at their
head, receiving unstinted applause, us
did also Grand Canton Atkins, No. !,
OF Paducah, Ky. The third division
under Brigadier General W. u. Croker
and staff made probably the best show
ing in the parade. Their maneuvers
we're executed with strictest
military precision and created very
favorable impression upon the multi
tude. But tomorrow will decide which
canton Is to carry off the honors for the
best military tactics, as the grand prize
drill is to come off at the fair grounds
in the afternoon. Tonight the exposi-
,tion doors were opened TO the Odd Fol-
lows and public reception was held
in the music hall OF tho great building.
The building was packed to the doors
and locomotion was next to impossible.
The main feature of the exercises at the
exposition was the conterrinG OF the
decoration OF the chivalry by Lieuten-
ant-Genernl Underwood upon several
grand lodge representatives.

VIENNA, Sept. 2l.--In an interview
to-day with the United States Minister
to Austria, Col. Fred Grant, in regard
10 the reported intention OF the Aus
trian government to remove the prohi-
bition placed upon the importation OF
American pork, Col. Grant said: II
have great hopes that American pork
products will soon be admitted into
Austro-Hungary, but no definite action
can be taken until Parliament meets
later in the soason. There has been
much official correspondence on the
subject, resulting in position which
lends the United States TO expect an
early and satisfactory settlement Of the
question"

LONDON, Sept. 21.-Sir John Z. Gorst'
Political Secretary of the India office,
who, according to the popular report,
was to have succeeded the late POST
master General Ratkes, in an interview
to-day on the English land question, de-
clined to commit himself to any definite
plan for the settlement of this griey-
ance. He said, however, something
must and4will be done or revolution Is
certain. I don't mean bloody reyolu-
tion, but / mean the people will de-
Inand possession,of land to live upon.
They now have the power to do SO and
they are dissatisfied with their present
lot. Consequently they will have things
altered.
"Allotments may palllate, but they
will not solve the difficulty. The Con-
servatives ought to attempt the solution
OF anything that would stop emigration
and keep the people from docking into
the towns. !.
II am now inquiring into the condi-
ton of the rural laborers and the smaller
class OF farmers / am learner, and
am cleaning by personal contact facts
which will Justify me to form definite
policy upon the English land question"
Considerable attention has been at
tracted towards Sir John Gorst, who is
u member OF the royal labor commits
since June last, when in remarkable
outhupsf of plhin snenkinQ in the House
Of Commons, he expressed contempt for
certain members OF the ministry. His
present utterance would seem to indi-
cate that the appointment OF Sir james
Ferguson as Postmaster General has
caused him to break out in new direc-
tion. :,
The Star to-day predicts that he will
be the leading Tory Democrat" and
intimates that he is preparing to bid
high for the rural vote.

MAnsElLIEs, Sept. 21.-A serious riot
occurredin this city yesterday A bull
fight was in progress at the circus here,
but the spectators became displeased
with the performance OF the toreaders,
claiming that they were not doing their
best that they were cowardly and SIM
ply making weak pretense OF fighting
the bulls. Finally matters became so
warm that the spectators, not content
with hooting and yelling at the bull
fighters and the bulls, arose from their
seats, broke into the arena, chased the
toreadors and toros out Of it, tore down
the seats, piled them in heaps and
eventually set fire to the debris, threat
eninr the destruction of the whole
building. At this stage Of the proceed
ings a strong force Of police came upon
the scene, having been hastily sum
moned. The officers OF the Inv, with
drawn swords, cleared the circus and
put out the fires, not, however, before
the building was partially destroyed
A number Of arrests were made by the
police and the local authorities, and the
proprietors OF the circusannounce their
intention OF prosecuting the rioters to
the utmost extent of the law.

the entire town site is covered with
tents OF emigrants and that they are de-
termined to protect themselves from
any attempts on the part OF the whites
to keep them from the lands in the
Cimmarron Valley. A squad OF negroes
visited the cowboys camp last night
and declared their intentions. They
said that they would make the race for
lands and if they got there first they
would defend their rights with their
lives. II the cowboys do not imbibe

the course OF his address he said that
among the leading questions to DO con-

workmen against accidents. Whether
the state ought simply TO lay down the
principles for such insurance and to
watch with benevolent interest tho
measures decided upon for carrying
them into effect.

bureau similar to the one in existence

the filing at San Diego, CAL, OF a second

GERMAN CATHOLICS.
The Prlcsten.veroin Begins Its Session in

cnt.
BuppA1o, n. Y, Sept. 21.-Behied
closed doors this afternoon there went
into session in this city twelve apostles
of the much-talkcd OF "Priesten-Ver-
Gin" or German-American Clerical I'm
ion. 1t was the first Of the series Of
meetings OF the congress OF the Ger
man-American Catholics. Vicar Cen
eral Won Muhlsiepen, Of st. Louis,
President OF the Verein called the meet
ing to order. The business was the
scrutiny OF documents, resolutions and
motions which there was an intention
on the part of any one to bring up In
the proceedings OF the various sections
OF the congress. !,
Meanwhile general attention conferred
in the preparations for the torch-light
parade announced for the evening, and
in welcoming the successive waves Of
newarrivals. Among the distinguished
guests was the well known Bishop
Wigger, OF New Jersey, whose attitude
on the school question and similar
burning topics have frequently attract
cd wide attention. The liveliest inter
est was manifested to which extent
Bishop Ryan, OF Buffalo, would pnrtici-
nate in tho Congress. His sudden dis
appearance from the public ceremonials
Yesterday was attributed to illness, and
that reason was the only one quoted in
this mornings papers. /,
Before the censorship meeting, ended
the number within had greatly in:
creased, aggregating several score. All
were priests and members Of, the cleri.
cal union. It is definitely known that
not all the papers passed upon
were allowed to reach n further
stage than the waste basket.
One OF the priests said that what
ever appeared inharmonious with the
purposes Of the congress was excluded
and that the priests determined to steer
clear in the public proceedings OF all ag-
gressions and accusations.
