DUKE OF VERAGUA.
Nobility Pays Its Respects to the Del
ocracy at the White House.

Mobility Pays Its Respects to the Dem
ocracy at the White House.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Nobility paid
It's respects to the democracy this after
noon at the White House, when the Duke
of Veragua called ON President Cleye-
land. The ducal party rode in two open
carriages from the Arlington Hotel, and
arrived at the mansion at exactly 3
O'Clock. With the Duke were his wife,
his brother Marquis de Barboles, his son
Christopher Columbus Aguilera, Com
mander F. w. Dickens, representing the
United States Government, and Mrs.
Dickens and Senior Don Rodrigo de Saa-
verda, an attache of the Spanish legation
in Washington, representing the Spanish
Minister
The Duke and attendants were shown
Immediately into the blue room, where
the President and Mrs. Cleveland
awaited them. The black frock coat
which Cleveland wore contrasted strongly
with the gold lace and brass buttons of
the Duke, Marquis, Don de Saaverda and
Commander Dickens. Gold lace was the
predominant feature in the uniform of
the Duke, while across his breast he wore
sash OF watered silk in variegated colors.
Hardly less brilliant was the costume of
the Marquis, while Don de Saaverda out
shone both in the picturesqueness of a
long cape of white doeskin reaching
nearly to his heels. The naval uniform
of Commander Dickens, usually consid-
cred very snowy and brilliant, was al
most sober in the contrast it bore to the
attire of the Spaniards. All four of the
men wore swords. The Dukes was
heavily ieweled.
There was no attempt at reception in
the blue room. Commander Dickens
made the introductions, and few words
were spoken, with just suggestion of
formality, by the Duke and by the Presi-
dent, in reference to the visit of the
Duke to America.
Then the ducal party bowed itself out
and re-entered their carriages, and were
driven to the Navy Department. In the
absence of Secretary Herbert, Assistant
Secretary McAdoo received the visitors,
and after minute spent in conversation
accompanied them to the State Depart
ment, where they were met by Secretary
Gresham in the diplomatic room. Es-
corted by Assistant Secretary Adee of the
State Department, the Duke and his
party went to the Office of Secretary La
mont, and paid their respects. This
ended the reception, and the party re-
turned to the Arlington.

LOWER FREIGHT RATES.

Reductions Announced by the South
ern Pacific Company.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-The South
ern Pacific's revised tariffs on trans-con-
tinental freights are announced to go
INTO effect tomorrow. The tariff sheets
on west-bound freights have not been
published, but enough is known to fur
nish an idea of what they will be. On
west-bound freights the Southern Pacific
has made material reductions on ''class"
and commodity" freights. The former
apply only to New York and all term
lnal points of the Southern Pacific in
California, while the latter affect only
through freights from New York to San
Francisco.
The class rates from New York are
precisely the same as the new rates from
Chicago, announced April 18th. The re-
duction on first-class freight amounts to
about $50 per carload.
The most important cut is on the COM
modify tariff sheet. 1t averages a reduc-
ton of 80 per cent. For instance, on
wrought-iron pipe the new rate is 50
cents per hundred, against 81 cents, the
former rate; on canned goods so cents,
former rate SO cents, making a difference
OF S92 per car, and so on through the long
list of commodities, some reductions
being less

NAPLES, April PA terrible panic
took place last night in the Church of
Ioore Annunziata. During the services
the draperies around the altar were blown
against lighted candle and at once
caught fire. The flames leaped quickly
up IN the light, infiammable material and
created the greatest terror in the congre-
CATION gathered in the building.
The people lost all their presence of
mind and rushed wildly for the doors,
which soon became blocked by the
crowds trying to find their way out. Men
acted like animals, striking women downr
trampling on women and children and
hghting to reach the doorways.
In the meantime few persons in the
church had sufficient GOODNESS to attend
to the fire. They pulled down the burn-
ing hangings and soon had the fire out.
They then turned their attention to the
frantic crowd still struggling to get out.
When the panic was finally ended it
was seen that eight women and five chill
dren lay dead on the floor, killed by the
terrific crush at the door. Hundreds of
othere were seriously hurt, and it is prob
able that the death list will be materially
heightened,

THE PRESS VOICE.


Oroville Register: 1.-The highest price
that grain will rent at per acre is not
more than Sc, taking one year with an
other. This gives a man with $50 acres
$500 year clear profits if he manages as
well as man possibly can. With off
years, high water, poor crops, low price
of grain and other casualties, he can
hardly expect to make this much. The
question with many is, can we put our
lands to any purpose that will bring US
more money? Dare we plant any more
fruit? Can alfalfa be grown on our lands?
Will it pay to raise corn, broom corn,
beans. hops, vegetables, etc., is ques-
ton many are asking. From the guam
tity OF vegetables being shipped to the
Northern States each winter from the
southern part of this State and from
Florida and other Southern States, it
would appear that vegetables were one of
the safest and most profitable things
farmers can grow"

Faction Call on Secretary Smith.
WASHINGTON, April PA delegation
of Choctaw Indians, representing the
Jones faction, had an interview to-day
with Secretary Smith. They represented
that Jones was legally elected Governor
of the Nation, and the whole difficulty
was brought about by refusal of the
Locke people to recognize his legally con-
stituted authority. A number of the
Locke followers, it was asserted, had
been indicted and convicted under the
law of crimes, and an effort made by
Governor Jones to enforce the law and
carry into effect the sentences imposed
was met with armed resistance. The
Governor ought to be sustained by the
Government in preserving peace and
bringing criminals to justice.
