Of visitors, estimated at 1000, 800 old
soldiers among them, came to town.
The visitors included Generals Sickels,
Alger, Stewart, Howard, Corporal Tan

General CoWan of Omaha. Public
schools were closed and business al
most entirely suspended. The exercises
were held in the park, and while the
speeches We're brief the enthusiasm was
great
General Sickels received a genuine
ovation. He said he was a Democrat of
fifty years standing, with the span of
life nearly spent. There was nothing
which the Republican party could offer
that he would accept, but in the pres
ent emergency he was compelled to put
aside party and vote for what he con-
sidered the integrity of the nation.
FREMONT (Neb), Sept. 3O.-The
visit of the Union Generals this after
noon was made the occasion of the
greatest Republican demonstration Of
the campaign. Visitors came from all

Fast Voyage of the Pacific Mail
Steamship China

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.-The
Pacific Mail steamship China arrived
this morning from Hongkong, Yokoha-
ma and Honolulu, breaking the trans
pacific record between Yokohama and
San Francisco, and lowering the record
of the fastest steamers Of all lines be-
tween Honolulu and San Francisco two

surprises, as her officers say, but her
recent accomplishment is the biggest
surprise of all.
The log Of the China's voyage, which
will go on record as the banner trip Of

opening of yesterdays board wheat had
steadily risen, an advance of nearly IL
cents being recorded.
Yesterday the conservative element
concluded that wheat had risen about as
far as existing conditions warrant, and
a decline of 1870 resulted from their let
ting go. A conviction existed that wheat
would decline further to-day, but cables
from Liverpool told that every offer of
wheat from this side had been accepted,
and there was still a firm demand.
Prices, too, We're higher, in spite Of the
decline here.
The shorts We're stunned by this an
nouncement and the opening prices
were fully &c higher than yesterdays

When later cables reported that Lon
don was excited and prices were ad
vancing the eagerness to cover became
a scramble to get wheat at almost any
price.
BY noon December was selling at 6SAc,
an advance Of 21bc for the day. There
was some reaction from the high point
but the closing was firm. Many spec

situation remains practically un-
changed. He had received advices

that union meetings were being held at
various points to discuss the situation.
