MRMrHls, TENN, April 1.-THE ele
giant special bearing the Presidentia
party, arrived here this morning at
O'Clock, after an all night run from Bir
mingham. No stops were made in Mis-
sissippi and the only incident Of the rul
occurred at Jasper; Alabama. ThR
town was illuminated with many bon
fires in honor OF the President and near
ly $500 Of the inhabitants gathered Al
the station TO pay their respects. Itwsl
IL o'clock when the train reached there
and the President, Postmaster Genera
Wauamaker and all the ladies OF the
party had retired for the night. The
people were disappointed at not being
abls to see the President, but were graf
lied at being allowed to pass through
and Inspect the observatory car.
This morning when the train reached
Belleview, a station. ssven miles from
this city, 1t was boarded by committee
Of citizens from Memphis. A number
OF ladies accompanied the party with
bouquets Of roses. A large crowd, in.
cluding the local militia, were gathered
at the station and cheered the President
when he appeared on the platform. He
was introduced by Mayor Clapp, who
welcomed the President on behalf OF the
city.
In response the President made neat
and fitting speech, saying:
"The name OF this city was familiar TO
me in my early boyhood. Born and
reared upon one Of the tributaries OF the
great river upon which your city is 10.
Gated, l well remember when on the
shores OF my fathers farm the old "broad
horn" was loaded from the hay press or
the corn crib for market. 1t is great
thing, however, that you are now rails.

reason why the Cotton States, that pro.
duCe IS per cent OF the cotton Of the
world, should not spin the greater por-
ton Of 1t. I see evidence that the peo.
Pile are turning their attention to new
industries, and are bringing into the
midst Of these farming communities
large population Of artisans and lsborers.
1 am glad to believe that these great
river towns will speedily exchange their
burdens with American ships at the
mouth Of the Mississippi, to be trans.
ported to foreign ports under the flag Of
our country. Great cheering

we'll chosen remarks. He was followed
