NEW YORK DAY.
Parade Through Atlanta Streets
and Speeches at the EXPO.

ATLANTA, Nov. 25.-Although the
morning opened in gloom, the clouds
soon lifted, and bsfore noon New York
day had recorded itself as one of the
most brilliant of the many elaborate
occasions that have been celebrated in
Atlanta since the Cotton States and In
ternational exposition opened. The
formalities began with the massing of
the Governors Horse Guards of Allan
ia, the Gate City Guard of Atlanta, and
the squadron of New York, at the
Aragon hotel to escort Mayor Strong
and President Seth Lowe, the orator
of the day, to the exposition grounds.
The grand pageant, as it moved out
Peachtree street, between lines of ad-
miring Atlantans, was a brilliant one,
and evoked enthusiastic cheers along
the route. Inside the grounds several
thousand people were assembled to
welcome the cavalcade, which moved
from the main entrance to the New
York building, where the exercises of
the day were to occur. The ceremonies
were opened with prayer by RI. D.
Parker Morgan, chaplain Of Squadron
A. Brief welcoming speeches were
then made by Mayor King, of Atlanta,
and President Collier, Of the exposition,
when Mayor Strong, of New York,
spoke President Seth Lowe, of Co
lumbia college, next delivered the ora
ton of the day.
'T+ is certainly not without signif-
cance," said Mr.. Lowe, 'that New
York speaks to you today through one
of her. educators. 1t is as though she
were saying to the New South, hear
the message of New York Commerce
is good, finance Is good, manufacture
Is good. But, oh, men tof the South,
without education, commerce, finance
and manufacture in any high sense are
alike impossible. To attain them you
must educate; to expend them you
must educate And yet you followed
a true instinct in calling the attention
of the country, through this exhibition,
to the material resources of the South.
Commerce and education must go hand
in hand"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Trial of DuIuth,s Sensational Di-
yOrce Case Begins.

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. 25.-The di-
vorce case of Mrs. Eleanor Mendenhall-
against Luther Mendenhal, the mill
ionaire president of the First National
bank and Duluth Street Railway COM
pany, came up for trial in the district
court this morning. The complainant
charges her husband with infdelity,
the correspondent being Miss Kate B.
Hardy, late principal of the Hardy
school, a fashionable boarding school
for young ladies. The court room was
crowded, and no case, criminal or civil,
in the history of the city, has excited
such interest as this. The drawing of
the jury occupied only an hour or two,
and the twelve men selected are among
the most prominent business men of
Duluth. The testimony was extremely
sensational. The first witness, Thomas
Paget, formerly engineer at the school,
testified to discovering Mendenhall and
Miss Hardy in each others embrace
during the summer of the worlds fair
year. Mendenhall afterwards met him,
he testified, and suggested that he get
him a house near the school, saying
that he (Menden'halD would make it
comfortable for him If he would pick
out lot. At another time during the
same year Paget said that he and a
plumber employed at the school dis
covered them in a similar position. He
had also seen Mendenhall kiss Miss
Hardy at different times. At the con-
clusion of this testimony court was
adjourned until this afternoon Furth-
er sensational testimony is looked for
as the trial proceeds.

NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS.
Thurston Says They Are Strong
for Mckinley.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-senator John
NJ. Thurston, of Nebraska. is at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. In an interview to-
day he said:
1.-THE Republicans ef Nebraska are
for Mckinley for president, first, last
and all the time. The strength of the
Ohio man in the West comes from the
fact that the working people believe in
him. They know that under the Nc
Kinley law they were earning more
pay than they are doing now. Business
was, generally speaking. better. They
are satisfied that Mckinley had some
thing to do with it and they want to
vote for him for president"
do you think the Republicans will
be able to organize the United States
senate at the coming session.
Yes" he replied. ST believe we will
be strong enough to assume control.
have been in Washington for a week
and can say that at the opening of the
senate the Republicans will start in and
reorganize that body. 1 believe that
all of the Populist members of the
senate will vote with the Republicans
this session. That, at least, is the un-
derstanding among the leaders now,
and 1 do not think that anything will
turn up to change the programme
Gov.-Elect Bushnell. of Ohio, is at
the Holland house. He expressed the
opinion that Gov. Mckinley would be
the next Republican nominee for prest-
dent. Russell B. Harrison, son of Gen.
Harrison, is at the Imperial hotel, but
said he could not talk politics at pres

RECALLED BY THE PORTE.
Governor of Hadjin Must Explain
His Conduct.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 25. =
The governor of Hadjin, who had
threatened to burn the convent there
and set fire to the barley fields, has,
owing to the strong representations
made to the porte on the subject by
Mr.. Terrell, been recalled, and his
conduct will be inquired into. The
members of the American colony
here, as we'll as other foreign resi-
dents of this city and vicinity. join
in praising the energetic and effect
i've action of Mr.. Terrell under very
trying circumstances. From what
can be learned here, it would seem
that the situation in Anatolia ap-
pears to be much more tranquil than
for some time past.
The main question now being dis
cussed between the porte and the
representatives of the powers is that
of adding four extra guard ships to
the little foreign fleet in the Bos-
phorus. Although the demand was
made over week ago, on the ground
that the foreign population of Con-
stantinople then needed this addl-
tional protection, the sultan still
holds out in his refusal to grant per-
mission. While admitting that the
powers possess the right to have two
guard ships each in the Bosphorus,
the porte considers that the pro-
posed increase of the number of for
eign war vessels there, under the
present condition of things in the
Turkish empire, might excite the
Mussulmans and produce an effect
far from the one desired by the pow
ers. In addition the porte points out
that, in view Of the measures taken
to preserve order here, an increase
in the number of guard ships is not
required This is the substance of
note which the porte has sent to the
representative of the powers. In
addition, the Turkish representatives
at London, st. Petersburg, Rome and
Vienna will be instructed to earnest
ly request the four powers not to
insist upon their demands regarding
the guard ships. In political circles
the repugnance of the porte to grant
the request is attributed to the be-
lief, which is said to exist among
the Turkish ministers and Abdul
Hamids entourage, that to grant the
firmans would be a sad blow to the
dignity of the sultan, and direct
proof of lack of confidence on the
part of the powers in his inability to
govern and maintain order. But be-
hind this, it is claimed, turks the fear
on the part of the sultan that the de-
manded increase in the number OF
foreign guard ships in the Bosphorus
is really only a cloak for the inten-
ton of the powers to make naval
demonstration in Turkish waters in
case of renewed disturbances IN
ASiatic Turkey.
