AMERICAN ROYALTY ABROAD.
A Memorable Visit of Creek Chiefs One
Hundred and Sixty Years Ago.

Hundred and Sixty Years Ago.
In May, 1884. a unique embassy set
out from Savannah bound for England.
This party consisted of Gen. Ogle-
thorpe, accompanied by Tomochachi
and Scenawki, his wife, Tooanahowi.
Hillispelli. Apakowlshi, Himalchi Sim
lonchi and Hingnithi, chiefs of the
Creek nation. and by Umpichi. a chief
from Palacholas. and his interpreter.
Gen. Oglethrope's object in taking
these royal savages to England was to
impress them with the grandeur of his
native countr V. and to assure them of
the friendly feelingsof England toward
them. and thus secure to the colOnists
a kindly welcome to their new homes
in Georgia.
They did not reach England till the
last of July. On August l this royal
party was conveyed from the Office of
the Georgia trustees. in the old palace
ward in three of the kings coaches,
driven by six horses each, to kensing-
ton palace, where his Majesty George
IL received them in royal state.
The Indians desired to appear at
court in their native dress. which left
almost the entire body naked, but Gen.
Oglethorpe objected. and prevailed up
on them to wear the court clothes pro-
xided for them. Tomoehachi and wife
wore scarlet garments, trimmed with
fur and gold lace; others wore blue and
yellow clothes similarly decorated.
Their faces were wildly painted with
black, and some of the men wore
bearded arrows instead of whKkers.
Their feet were dressed in moeeasins
and boots, and eagle feathers decorated
their heads.
On presentation to the king Tomo-
chachi sooke as follows:

face, the greatness of your house. and

SAW THE POLICEMAN SHOT.
The Queer Story Inventor Rumble Will
Tell in the Curtis Trial.

San Francisco, CAL, August 22.-Coun-
sci for M. B. Curtis, on trial for the muir
der of Policeman Grant, say they will in
troduce as witness G.. W. Rumble, an
inventor of Syracuse, Ny, who was in
San Francisco on the night Of the murder
and saw Grant shot. Rumble, who knows
Curtis, says he saw the actor and another
man in charge of policeman. The. third
man commenced to resist and finally shot
Grant. The man then shot at Curtis and
missed, and then fired a third shot at
Rumble, the ball going through his coat.
The man then ran in one direction and
Curtis in another, leaving Rumble stand
ing by the dead body of the officer. Rum
BILE says he was afraid he would be ac-
cused of the murder, so he scaled a
fence into vacant lot and hid under a
wagon for two hours. The next day he
met Judge Treadwell of this city and told
the story to him. Treadwell corroborates
Rumble's statements. After learning of
the arrest, Rumble says he determined
to keep out of the case unless the actor
should be convicted. He changed his
mind, however, and has written to Cur
tis's attorneys, offering to comeshere and
testify.
Curtis testified in his own behalf. He
saws he was knocked down and robbed by
a man who afterwards killed Policeman

The Senate took up several bills but
adjourned without action.
In the House, MIR. johnson, Democrat,
of Ohio, asked unanimous consent for
the introduction of his bill to permit the
exchange of United Stats bonds for treas
ury notes. There was no objection and
the bill was referred to the committee
on banking and currency. The silver
debate was then resumed. Mr. Buckner,
Democrat, of Wisconsin, addressed the
House in favor of the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause.
Among the other speakers was Mr..
Hepburn, Rep, Of Ohio, who ridiculed
the idea that partisanship could be elimi-
mated from this debate; He satirzed Mr.;
Bynum as man who, he said, had defied
Speaker Reed in the most insulting
terms, for asking that cant and subter-
fuge be eliminated from the discussion.
Mr.. Hepburn protested against the shift
ing process of legerdemain by which the
Democrats attempted to place the re-
sponsibility for repeal upon Republican
shoulders and make Republican admit
that the Sherman bill contained all the
iniquities that the Democrats charged
that it did.

Remarks on National and State Banks

News.
Especial to the Press.l

Washington, August %. The great
mouthpiece of the administration in the
Senate has spoken. Senator VOORHEES, OF
Indiana today delivered his long adver-
tised speech, and while he had an atten-
tive audience and the galleries were
crowded with strangers, it is doubtful
whether the cause of repeal has been adj
vanced by what the Senator said, or
whether Mr.. Voorhees, has enhanced his
reputation. The Senators were interest
ed in hearing him because they were GU
rious to know how he would manage to
wriggle out of the embarrassing position
in which he found himself For years
voorhees, has been one of the leading
champions of the cause of silver, and
until quite recently he was accounted by
the silver men as in their ranks but he
was unable to withstand the pressure of
patronage and, owing to the successful
use by the President of that great lever.
it is said that he was induced to desert
his former allies and come over boldly
into the repeal ranks. But while advo-
eating today the repeal of the Sherman
law, he could not entirely sever himself
from his former associates. He emphat-
ically admitted that he had not surren-
dered his belief in bi-metalism or lost
his faith in silver, but he advocated the
repeal of the present law so that bi-met-
alism might come all the sooner. He
savagely denounced and attacked the ma
tional banking system, and tried to have
it appear as If banks were responsible
for all of our financial ills, and as rem
edy for the present convenient
system of banking advocating the pro-
nouced southern ideas of state banks,
much to the surprise of most of the
Senators of the Democratic side. He
championed liberal pensions, claiming
that the disbursements of millions OF
pension money direct to the people was
one reason why great financial centres
were opposed to the system as they con-
sidered that the money ought to be paid
out through the banks, thereby enabling
them to make profit. Another surprise
was his argument in favor of an income
tax. In fact the entire speech was a
hodge -podge, an attempt to stand in
with all the different elements of the
party and to be able at some future time
to maintain his record for consistency,
no matter what might happen.

Washington, August 22.-In his speech
on the silver question, today, in part,
Senator Voorhees, said: Neither in the
| heavens above, nor the earth below, is
| thereaany power to make dollar, for the
| American people, whether it be in gold,
silver or paper, except the power of the
American Congress. Money is the

| Gold and it's alleged intrinsic value goes

unless the coin bears the stamp of the

| "The same official stamp on, silver, or
| on paper, at once ennobies them to an
| equality with gold in purchasing power,
no matter how debased, how degraded,
| or how valueless the silver or the paper
may have become as commodities by
| sinister and unwise legislation"
| He reviewed the history of greenbacks
| and of the Sherman bill, and then con-
| tinued: i shall vote to repeal the Sher-
| man act as / would remove dead NY

| "The Sherman act emanated from the
enemies of silver money, and it's purpose
was to degrade, dishonor and dlsgace
this one of the precious metals, until it
could no longer hold its place with gold
as part of the specie basis OF this
country and of the world. In reducing
silver to a merchantable commodity,
| placing it on level with corn, wheat,
