SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 20.-The
presidential party arrived here at
O'Clock this morning, and notwithstand-
ing the heavy rain which was falling,
his reception was enthusiastic. The
president was received with military
salute OF twenty-one guns. On leaving
the train the party were taken in car
riages to the grand opera house, which
was beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion. Addresses of welcome were made
by Governor Hogg and Mayor Callahan,
and responded to by the president, Sec
retary Rusk, and Postmaster-G General
Wanamaker.
THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
The president expressed his pleasure
for an opportunity of visiting the his
toric city, and added II rejoice that
YOU have here 80 great commonwealth.
The great industrial capabilities which
YOU have; the benefcent climate that
spreads over much of your vast terri
tory; the great variety of productions
which your soil and climate render pos
sible, give promise for future OF prom
inence among the great states, that can
scarcely fail to bring Texas
to the front rank. The advantage
which you have to transmute the great
productions of the field into manufac-
tured products, is very great. There
can certainly be no reason why large
part of the million bales of cotton which
you produce, should not be spun in
Texas. l hope your people will more
and more turn your thoughts to this
matter, for just in proportion as COM
munity or state suitably divides its en-
ergies among the various industries, so
does it retain the wealth it produces, and
increase its population. Ny fellow
citizens, the pride of America, that
which should attract admiration, and
has attracted the immigration of many
people upon the face of the earth, is our
system of government. l am glad to
know as l here express my satisfaction
that here in the state OF Texas you are
giving attention to education; that you
have been able to erect school fund
the interest upon which promises
most magnificent endowment for your
schools. These schools are the pride
and safety OF the state, bringing up on q
common level the children of the rich
and the poor"

President Harrison's utterances during
his tour have "Rule Britannia" air,
which betray his parentage, and are by
no means unpleasant to the English
