New YoRK, Nov. 1o-Distinguished
guests from all parts OF the nation were
gathered around the festive board at the
Manhattan club tonight. 1t ives re-
ception and banquet given by
the club in honor of President
elect Grover Cleveland. 1t was
splendid success. Over 120 Democrats
responded to the invitation, among
them governors, ex-governors, United
States senators. congressman and other
officials and politicians OF great and
small degree. After the reception the
banquet was discussed. It was after IL
O'Clock when the dinner was concluded.
Mr.. Frederick r. Coudert introduced
Mr.. Cleveland in highly compli.
mentary speech. 1t was more than a
minuse after Cleveland had rieen that
he got an opportunity to be heard, go
great was the applause that eeted
him. Mr.. Cleveland assured his fellow
members of the club and their guests
that it was good for him to be there.
He referred to the reception tendefeG
him 10 years ago when he was elected
governor of the state. "Since then" he
said, political events have greatly
changed. The people have become
more political, more thoughtful
and more watcbful than they were
10 years ago. They are considering
vastly greater questions than they were
then. They are giving Importance to
party policy, rather than to party
spoils."
Speaking in low tone, Mr.. Cleveland
continued deliberately: II would not
have it otherwise. l am willing that
the Democratic party should only sue
ceed by meeting the situation fairly and
equarely,. by being absolutely and
pa:riotically true to its principles and
professions. This is the assured guaran-
tee of success. know OF no other"
At the conclusion of Cleveland's re-
marks supper was served. Mr. Cleve.

min Wood presided, sat Walter

Committeeman Benjamin T. Cable, ex

While this is not boycott, it is a

Restored to The Public poma,o.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The president
today Issued an executive order restor-
ing to the public domain all the lands
described in the executive order of NAV
II, 1854. by President Arthur, that lie
west of the 10th degree of west longi-
tude and within the territory of Utah,
The order of President Arthur m mentioned
withheld from sale and settlements and
set apart for Indian purposes a very
much larger tract that, besides includ-
ing the lands now restored, extended
east into Colorado and south into
Arizona to the north line of the Moaoui
reservation. The lands now restored
are only the western half of the email
part lying in the territory OF Utah, and
there is strong reason to believe it is a
very rich section in mineral, gold and
conner.

A SENSATIONAL MURDER.

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 19-No murder
was ever committed in Texas which
produced more profound sensation
than that OF W. g. Veal by DR.. R. H.
Jones, during the confederate reunion
here in October. Captain Veal was shot
down by DR.. Jones while sitting at ta-
BILE surrounded by his army associates,
and without word of warning. DR..
Jones today was brought before Judge
Tucker upon a writ of habeas corpus,
asking for bail. The hearing was not
concluded at late hour tonight. The
cause OF the shooting was Veal's outrage
upon Mrs. Jones 10 years ago. She told
her husband of the affair year ago, and
he postponed the shooting till last Octo-

CHIC AGO, Nov. 19--Information gath

system is demoialized throughout the
Mississippi valley from St. Paul to ST.

Iowa joins Illinois and Wisconsin.
There the wind seemed to gather re-

a circle 100 miles in diameter. The
wind was accompanied by rain, which.
when the atmosphere grew colder

NEW YoRK, Nov. 19.-The Roman
Catholic archbishops held only an in
formal meeting today. Archbishop Cor
rigan, upon request, was permitted to
make the following statement to the
press The archbishops of the United
States willingly recognize the great
services rendered to religion by the
journalists. At the same time, that
their labors may be more fruitful and
efficacious, the archbishops request
the editors of newspapers to
bear in mind the wise and
weighty words of the sovereign
pontiff, especially regarding the intem-
perate discussion of matters that really
belong by right to episcopal authorities.
They also deprecate all acrimonious con.
troversies, and call to the memory of all
concerned the remark of the third
plenary council of Baltimore, that
Christian charity and difference of
opinion can amicably co-exist and be
be united in men Of good will.

says famine again threatens many dis.
tricts. The rye harvest ia as bad as it
was in 1891, and oats are an utter fail

terial for fires, and the people are ex-
hausted by last winters misery. The

Notes.
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, Nov. ia sensation has
been caused by the abrupt de parture Of
the king of Saxony from Potsdam where
he was visiting Emperor William. The
sudden ending of his visit caused to be
circulated report that the emperor and
the king had quarreled over the army
measure. Some sudden rupture un-
doubtedly occurred between the sover-
eigns, but as the government of Saxony
some time ago assented to military re-
organization, the rupture could not
have happened over the army bill.
The members of the diplomatic
circle credit the report that the
difference srose over the emperor's pro-
posing to prosecute Prince Bismarck,
whose latest revelations as to how he
precipitated the war with France by
falsifying the famous emperor's dispatch
are felt in official quarters to justify any
measure that may be adopted to silence
him. The king of Saxony, it is said,
not only opposed Prince Bismarck's
prosecution, but urged the emperor to
make the first advance towards recon-
cilialion with Bismarck. The incident
will not abate the determination of the
king OF Saxony to prevent the emperor
from prosecuting Bismarck.
The reichstag will open Tuesday with
the party groups in such state of vari-
ance that it will be futile to attempt to
predict how they will subsequently ar.
range themselves. The Centrists are in
the mean time split into two sections,
one OF which is uncompromisingly op.
posed to the military bill and the other
openly supports the government, if it
can obtain concessions widening Cath
olic privileges. Out of ITO Centrists the
government is still hopeful of getting
support. The Conservatives are divided
over the army bill, and it will
require ekillful ministerial handling to
induce them to support the government
with the whole strength of the group.
The Polish group continues to hesitate
in its allegiance to the government.
Only the reiebstsg psrty.wil 60 solid
with the whole branch, with Chancellor
von Caprivi. The emperor's speech
opening the reichstag, and the subse-
quent statement of the chancellor on
new loans to cover the military expendi.
tures, will be the earliest factors in reg
ulating the policy of the groups.
