Rousing Mass-Meeting Followed by
a Banquet to the City's
Guest.

SALINAS, CAL, Aug. CLAUS Spreck
els, hailed as the sugar king of the world
and the special benefactor of Monterey
County, was given a reception here by such
a number of people as filled the Pavilion
this afternoon, and this evening was ten
dered banquet by the business men of
Salinas at the Abbot House.
The whole affair came almost in the ma
ture of surprise TO Mr.. Spreckels. He
came down on the afternoon train with
the single purpose of having conference
with the farmers of Salinas Valley with
regard to the possibilities of the country
in the matter Of the production of the
sugar beet. The contemplated sugar re-
finery to be located near here will be the
greatest thing of the kind in the world. It
will consume 450 tons of beets every day
that the wheels turn. 1t is very important
to Mr.. Spreckels, therefore, to know iuNt
where the beets are coming from; if the
farmers will turn to it at once, begin their
cultivation and SO have them ready when
wanted. From the demonstration in the
city to-day all doubt on that score must
have been dispelled.
Mr.o Spreckels was met at the train by
committee of citizens, escorted to the Abb
bott House, and, after some refreshments
there, to the Pavilion, led by the Salinas
brass band. The big hall was found to be
already crowded with people, floor and
gallery alike, large proportion of those
present being ladies, who took deep
interest in the proceedings. Mr.. SpreckeIs'
entrance to the hall was the signal for a
burst of applause that continued several
minutes. He was escorted to the platform
by Mayor Harris, and then by nod and
smile and comprehensive sweep of the
hand signified his pleasure at the greeting
and at the unique decorations of the hall.
Back of the stage was written, in i'm
mense sugar beets wearing their long
leaves and stalks, the words "Our Future
Industry The stage itself was literally
framed in sugar beets, and the entire hall
otherwise decorated with them. 1t was,
indeed, big bower of sugar beets, the
white and green of which were relieved
with bright bunting.
The band stationed in the gallery played
cheerful airs, while the ice-presidents,
nearly all of them farmers, took their
places on the stage at the announcement
of the Mayor. Phey We're: Henry Bar

County up to the fact that they can be
self-supporting. II will show them what
actually can be and is raised with the
greatest profit and success in their own
county.
Although the products and manufac-
lures are taken exclusively from within
the county line, still they are greatly
varied, so much so, in fact, that almost
every article used by man will have a
place." he concluded.
Among the most prominent of the ex-
hibits will be the silk manufacturing de-
partment. Alameda claims one of the
largest if not the largest silk manufac-
tory IN the United States. A loom has
been erected and is in charge of an expert
enced weaver. All kinds of silk fabrics
will be woven, so that the visitors to the
fair may see how silk is made.
The manufacture of iron is given a
prominent place, and promises to prove
very attra active and interesting. The gate
wayoto this exhibit Of interesting machin-
cry is arched by model of a swinging
drawbridge.
The cotton-miIls have also large ex-
hibit and will manufacture rope, cloth and
other articles in which cotton is used.
The electro plating exhibit is also very
complete and finely got up.
A special feature of the fair will be the
evening entertainment to be given in the
large auditorium of the exposition.
Here will be given series of fine per-
formances, both musical, dramatic and
vaudeville in character. This is expected
to prove great drawing card. a. O.
Trowbridge is the chairman OF the COM
mittee on amusements. He is ably assisted
by his wife, who last year filled the posi-
tion of chairman of this same committee.
There is pretty little story told about
Mrs. Trowbridge in connection with her
work at last years exposition. She was
besleged by newspaper men on her taking
charge of the amusement feature, who de-
sired to secure her picture for publication.
She refused to give photograph because
she wished to have her picture seen only
in her own home. She also asked that no
sketch of her would be made. Pictures
appeared day after day, from the president
down to the ianitors of the fair, but hers
was never presented to the public. She
makes the same request this year.
The fact that Alameda County is a
county of manufactures as we'll as of agri-
cultural products viii be promptly DEM
onstrated. "We possess the land and ad-
vantages here for manufacturing" said
the superintendent. "and we have already
done much i'll this line While we can

A SYLVAN SCENE.
A Pretty Park Where a Fountain
Plays and Costly. Plants
Are Arraved

One OF the prettiest sections of the fair
is the park. 1t is a perfect floral and trop-
ically sylvan retreat. The park is nearly
square in form, and from it leads a broad
path almost around the exposition build
ings to the fruit exhibit on another side.
In the center of the park is a fine laree
fountain. The base is composed of Jagged
rocks of various sizes, and yesterday the
carp which first ventured out into the
open water and the sunshine darted back
into the friendly shade beneath them. To-
day or Monday j. w. Stanford of Warm
Springs will send down twenty-five very
large gold fish to swim in the basin of the
fountain.
1t is claimed the gold fish are the largest
in the State. At night the spray of the
fountain and the water in the basin will be
illuminated by electric lights of MANY
colors. One of the most attractive features
OF this beautiful centerpiece of active and
placid water, rocks and colored lights is a
golden ball which is kept up in the air
above the fountain supply by the even
force. of the spouting column of water
under it. 1t will appear as golden ball
in midair.
Around the open space in the center of
the park are tropical plants OF fnearly every
known species. Walks run alongside and
between some of them, and the park is
also ornamental by beautiful urns and
some statuary standing amid the foliage.
Among the trees and plants. are palms,
banana, rubber tree, Australian fern. two

( CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 1. General
Powell Clayton of Arkansas. who lis a
member OF the National Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee attached to the head
quarters, called at National headquarters
to-day with United States Senator Shoup
of Idaho.
General Clayton went to New York to
enter the campaign arena as fighter to
lhe last day, and the Idaho Senator who
refused to bolt will remain here until
Monday when he returns home to renew
his fight for Mckinney and the organiza-
ton of the Republican party in his State.
Ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborne OF To-
peka, Kans., was also visitor at head
quarters on his way to New ork.
General Clayton reported growing
gold sentiment among the Arkansas Dem
ocrats, and said he expected to see three
or four Congressional districts in his State
go Republican as a result of the Dem
ocratic revolt against free silver.
Senator Shoup had an interesting story
to tell United Press reporter about the
situation in Idaho resulting from the bolt.
He said:
"The boilers, led by Senator Dubois and

the State Committee, and the secretary,

titioned Chairman Pattfie to convene the

ton of Presidential electors, to fill two

The chairman complied with the. e.petition,
but changed the date to August 8, which
is the day fixed for holding the primaries
throughout the State. propose that
straight Republican, conventions, county
and State, shall be. held.
'.The boilers propose to allow Demo-
Gratis and Populists to vote at the prima-
ries and to choose noPresidentiaI electors,
so tha. Mckinley cannot get Idaho's vote.
Chairman Pattrie has assumed to call the
State Convention August 26 and. the
county conventions August Is. I am
going to see that the boilers and their
crowd do not control the State Conven-
tiou. I. have opened headquarters in
Boise City, distributed plenty of literature
and letters among the Republicans of the
State and my work is bearing fruit.
''Before issuing my address organized
Mckinley clubs in every city and the one
in Boise City has 400 memb bers. am con-
fidert that the people of my State, If given
fair chance, will give majority for the
Mckinley electors.
''I believe the whole Scandinavian vote
will go with us. Che boilers are planning
to elect new Legislature which will send
Dubois to the Senate for another term
next January. There are sound money
Democrats IN Idaho, too, who intend to
vote for Mckinley"
Governor Osborne said the situation in
Kansas looked better every day for the
Republicans. There was strong drift
toward Mckinley and he wac satisfied the
party would not lose any Republican votes
on account of the silver issue, but would
gain from the Democrats who repudiated
the Chicago platform. Many of them, he
said, were coming out openly and the old
Republicans who have been voting the
Populist ticket had been breaking away
from the ranks and returning to their first
allegiance.

Platt, Hackett and Lauterbach said as
they made their way to the express eleva-
tor: that the talk had been most pleasant
and absolute harmony prevailed. Mr..
Platt,said that active cam paign work will
begin j n this State at an early day, and by
his smiles it was plain that the regular
organization will have charge. After the
callers had departed Mr.. Hanna saw the
newspaper men and in response to ques-
tions said:
There has been meeting of the repre-
sentatiyes of the State and county COM
'mittees and myself. We have looked over
the situation and agreed upon policy for
the.line of campaign in this State. which
will De in.charge of the State and county
organizations supplemented by the

started at once. There is no definite time
set to open the campaign, but it is practi-
cally ready to begin now"
Mr.. Hanna was asked If ex-President
Harrison had agreed to speak at the first
Harrison has been invited by the local
organization, but has deferred his answer.
We hope he will speak"
Mr.. Hanna saw great many callers to-
day. National Com mitteeman G. l.. Kurtz

Kurtz said that the campaign in McKin-
ley's State will be opened August Is. Ros-
well G. Horr, who has been booked to

have called it the Oakland exposition.
This is the second of the kind Alameda
County has had, and last years exposition

Louisville Times Confirms the statement
 of Doubling the Capacity of
 the l.. and ". Shops.
 Decatur Dec. 14.--(Special Correspond ence.)-When the Louisville and Nash vile inspection party was here we mem tioned the fact that General Master Me- chanic Beckert took President Smith and the directors over the shops and showed them the necessity of a larger capacity We said then that the pros prects were most favorable for the shops to double their capacity
 In the Louisville Times of Tuesday, the statement Is made that plans have been drawn and accepted for the doub- ling of the capacity of the Louisville and Nashville shops at New Decatur, and that the work will begin at once.
 It is almost impossible to calculate the great value that this improvement will be to the DecatHrs. It just means that in place of S25 men being employed at the shops there will be 1,G00 men em- Dloyed; and In place of a pay roll of $34 - 600 per month, 1t means | pay roll of more than S60,000 per month.
 This it can be seen, is no idle dream of millions to be spent here, but is a practical improvement which we have good and solid reasons to believe will be built
 Decatur is the great strategic point between Cincinnati and New Orleans for great shops, and there is no reason to doubt the verity of the report
 It is only question of time when the Louisville and Nashville will pay out three-quarters of a million of dol lars in Decatur in a year
