"a SPECIAL SMILE
The President Bestowed on the
Southern Governors.
PRESIDENTS DAY All THE ATTAIN
ia FAIR.

Cleveland Speaks, But Says Nothing I'm
portant-The Crowd Expected Some
Significant Utterances, but Were Not
Gratified.
Atlanta, Ca, October 23.-President'
Day at the Cotton States Exposition
broke bright, balmy and beautiful. The
incoming trains brought thousands of
visitors, and the streets were crowded at
an early hour.
At ten O'Clock the military procession
formed down town and half hour later
passed the Aragon on its way to the ex-
position. The military was not Intended
rs an escort.
Mr. Cleveland and his official family
were driven rapidly to the exposition
grounds. They reached the reviewing
stand in front of the government build
ings few minutes before the head of the
column of troops wound around the hill
in front of the administration building.
Beside President Cleveland, Secretaries
Carlisle, Lamont, Herbert, Smith,
Morton, and Postmaster General Wilson
were on the reviewing stand, where were
| Vice President Stevenson, GOV. Atkinson
and the Georgia exposition and city
| officials awaiting them. The military
parade was long and picturesque includ-
| ing the United States regulars from Fort
Mcpherson, volunteers from Connecticut,
| Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia.
Mr.. Cleveland lifted his hat to the conf
manding officers as they passed and gave
| the governors special smile.
| The review over, DR. 7. 5. Hopkins of
Atlanta, delivered a prayer for the Presl-
dent the prosperity of the nation and
| SUCCESS of the exposition.
| President Collier of the exposition, III
! d ten minute speech, introduced the
President Several thousand people were
en- the plaza within sight OF the Presi-
dent, and the audience expected some
thing significant from him, either as to
the current national affairs or mis- future
aims and hopes, but this expectation was
not gratifled. The conclusion OF his
speech was greeted with cheers. Then
| the crowd called for Secretary Carlisle.
He arose and bowed, but refused to speak.
i Vice President Stevenson in the same
manner acknowledged the shouts for
: him.
! President Collier announced that Mr..
! Cleveland would shake hands with the
people if they would pass in an orderly
| line. Instantly there was a break for the
reviewing stand and for an hour the
President shook hands faster, he said,
| than ever before in his life. When he
grew weary, the committee rushed him
| into a carriage and off to the Piedmont
| Driving club in the outer edge of the
grounds.
There a champagne luncheon was
served at three O'Clock to the President,
cabinet officers and their wives, after
which the party began to take IN all the
| buildings Systematically.

Baltimore, October 23.-The closing
day of the W. G. T. U. convention saw
the adoption of the platform promulgat-
ed and partly approved yesterday. The
planks under consideration today were of
minor Importance and were adopted
with little debate In the report read by
Mrs Matilda B. Carse of Chicago, it
was stated the outlook favored her belief
that $500, 600 would be raised before the
first OF January to retire the outstanding
stock and bonds OF the Chicago W. G. I.

Mrs. Jane Kenney of Michigan reported
for the penal and reformatory intstitu-

white ribponers are doing more to secure

women would be appointed on state
boards of charity and correction.
Mrs. Charlton Edholm, OF Chicago, OF

of the traffic in girls. She said she rep

McklNLEYTEs DISTURBED.
They Don't Like the Revelations of Sher-
mans Book,

Washington, October 23.-The friends
of Gov. Mckinley are greatly disturbed
over the attention attracted by Mr.. Sher-
mans book, and fear that the conse-
ouences may be injurious to their favo-
rites Presidential prospects. The story
as it relates to Ohio is merciless in it's
exposition of former party feuds, and
as many of the leaders implicated are
still living and still active in affairs,
they may decide to come forward in de-
fense of themselves. In this event tie
country may be called to witness the
most intensely bitter family row Of the
century.
Unfortunately for Gov. Mckinley the
harge already exists that there is a
d vision of sentiment in the state in his
case as their was in that of Mr.. Sher-
man. If Charles Foster and Gen. Gar
field we're lukewarln toward MIR. Sher-
man, so also it is said that j. B. Foraker
and others are lukewarm toward Gov.
Mckinley. The delegation will be in
structed in the one case as it was in the
other, but the effect will be lost if the
delegation fails to establish credit with
the convention.
Herein lies the complaint against Mr..
Sherman. He has added to the difficulty
of his home delegation before the next
conyen tion. He has tagged it in advance
with doubt. Friends of other candi-
dates will be likely to say: ''Here are
those Ohio fellows again, shouting for
their candidate with leak in their
lungs. Their cry is not hearty. 1t lacks
force How many of them are really fol

THEY DON'T AGREE.
The United Press and Kemp at Log
erheads.

The Manager of the Association Maintains
His Position-Now Said Dunraven Will
Make No Statements at the Comiug
Dinner.
London, October 23.-D ixon Kemp, the
yachting authority, read through both OF
the recently oabled Dunrayen interview
that were furnished to the United Press
today, wrote the London manager of the
United Press the following note:
"Issaw Lord Dunraven Saturday noon
and sent you some of the topics of a con-
versation which took place between us,
intersrersed with my own remarks. I'm
fortunately you attributed some of my
remarks to Lord Dunrayen, especially
one stating tho New York Yacht club
knew perfectly well that Mr.. Roses
challenge for the Americas cup was not
an English challenge and that the Royal
Victoria Yacht cllb was sorry for having
backed it. These were purely my re-
marks very much regret the misunder-
standing.
After the receipt of this letter the Lon
don manager. of the United Press sent the
following telegram to Lord Dunraven
"Will you kindly inform me it the dis
c1aimer OF an interview with you printed
in yesterdays London papers and credited
to the United Press, was authorized by
you. AS the statement is calculated to
do us some damage and as | hold copy
of the interview made by my request by
Mr.. Dixon Kemp, it is necessary for us to
protect ourselves
No reply is yet received. The explana-
tion of the delay may be found in the fol-
lowing letter written last night by Mr..
Kemp to the London manager: Lord
Dunraven called on me just now. He is
not going to make any revelations at the
dinner in Cardiff or elsewhere In your
telegram to New York you make him say
the New York Yacht club knew perfectly
well Mr.. Roses challenge was not an
English challenge. Dunraven did not say
this. The remark was mine in the letter
I wrote you - 1t will be seen from the
foregoing that Lord Dunraven does not
deny the interview but calls upon Kemp
to ask him to moderate certain portions
of it. The original interview as furnished
by Kemp contained no indication that
anything therein was especially the re-
mark, Of Kemp. 1t was without doubt
faithful representation of Dun
ravens remarks.

No specific Recommendations Likely to
he Made, but Only the General Necessi-
ty Pointed Out-Need of Taxation Con-
fessed.
Washington, October 23.-The admins
tration has about abandoned all hope OF
being able to avoid a petition to Congress
for more revenue For the past two
months the President and Secretary of
the Treasury, have been figuring out a
way to escape the necessity of such an
appeal and confine the recommendations
to financial legislation, arguing that the
tariff legislation has nothing to do with
the deficiency of the revenue. Is Is we'll
understood that the desire OF the Presi-
dent is that the proposition for increased
taxation shall come from the Republicans
as counter to the suggestion that the
whole trouble can be cured By the retire
ment of greenbacks and firm establish
ment of the gold standard, which Mr..
Cleveland would lay down.
1t has become apparent that the situa-
tion will not admit Of the revenue
question being ignored. and in connection
with the contention that the trouble lies
solely with the financial question, there
will have to be a recommendations that
more revenue Do pfoViueu. ~ ID eApeouett
| that an effort will be made 20 prove that
primarily the greenbacks and silver are
responsible for the falling off of the il
ternal revenue and customs receipts, but
the need of additional taxation will have
to be confessed. 1t will be contended that
the falling off in the revenues from
whiskey and sugar, which was most con-
spicuous, was due to hard times. and
that, even with the overthrow OF the in
come tax, the revenue would have been
sufficient had business been normal and
the gold standard fully esta blished.
| When it comes to the question of recon-
mending a source Of revenue, the mem
bers of the administration are seriously
EN- barrassed. They are afraid Of internal
revenue tax, and at the same time want
to appear consistent in antagonism to
protection. The opinion is expressed that
| specific recommendations will be
avoided, and that the necessity for more
revenue will be pointed out, with The
very general suggestion that it be pro
vided in such a manner as to be least
burde ,some to the consumers and not
fall upon the necessaries of life.

NO MORE SILVER COINAGE.
Only Subsidiary Coin to Be Issued Here
after.

Washington, October 23.-All silver
coinage except that of subsidiary silver,
has been ordered suspended after Novem-
ber next by Secretary Carlisle.
In carrying out this policy the New Or
leans mint will. be practically closed and
dismantled after that date and its 20 en-
ployes furloughed without pay.
Secretary Carlisle for some time past
has been considering the advisability of
stopping all silver coinage except that of
subsidiary coins and since he has been the
h end Of the treasury department only A.
3S2, 1874 standard silver dollars have been
mlnted. Since July last only 80 sta,id-
ard silver dollars have been issued The
total coinage of silver under all acts
amounts to $423 2S9, 309.
The present effect of the action by Sec
retay Carlisle is to convert all the silver
bullion held by the government into gold
obligations, under the parity clause OF
the Sherman act ase
Secretary Window. in 1889 construed
the law to mean that Fall the Sherman
notes issued against bullion were redeem
able in gold This construction of the
law was ooncurred in by his successors,
Secretaries Foster and Carlisle, and has
Eeen in practical operation during the
past six years. Under-it S76, l93, 5S3 nave
been redeemed.
The coinage Of silver bullion into stand
ard silver dollars operates to prevent
Sherman notes being issued upon them;
Silver certificates, however, are issued
against the standard silver dollars, and
are redeemable only in silver.
The closing up OF the mint in New or-
leans. leaves only the United States MIMI
at Philadelphia and San francisco IN
operation.
At these mints only gold and subsidi-
ary silver will hereafter be coined unless
Congress should direct to the contrary
and it's action should be approved by
thes president.
