BANQUET TO THE VIcERoY.-Li
Hung Chang was the guest of honor
Saturday night at banquet in the
Waldorf, in New York, given by the
former United States ministers to China.
He entered the banquet hall leaning on
the arm ofGeneral J. f. Ward, the first
minister sent by this government to
the Chinese court. President Cleve-
land was represented by Assistant Sec
rotary Rockhill. The vceroy had re-
quested that the banquet not last more
than forty minutes. At the table he
barely nibbled the delicate dishes set be-
fore him and would not touch wines.
This was noticed by his host and in
few moments chop suey and chop sticks
were placed before him and he ate with
relish. Toasts to the honored guest,
to the president, to the emperor OF
China and others were drunk. Ii
Hung Chang responded through his in
terpreter in most gracious speech
of thanks and proposed that the BAN
queters, Lift up your glasses and
drink 10 the health of our old time
friend" As the viceroy was escorted
from the room he was loudly cheered
by the seventy gentlemen at the ban
quet table.
Saturday afternoon Mayor Strong
called upon Ii Hung Chang and well
coined him to the city. The interview
took on the form ola general discussion
of the American government, especially
as applied to cities, the viceroy asking
for many minute details, not failing to
inquire what New York paid its mayor.
Ii Hung Chang went to The tempo
rary receiving vault where the remains
ofGeneral Grant rest, and with reverent
ceremony placed wreath on the coffin
of his dead friend, and thence to the
residence of Colonel Frederick Grant,
where he met General Grants widow.

New York Gold Standard Convention

New York Gold Standard Convention.
SYRACUSE, Y. y, Aug. S1.-The con-
vention of the democratic reform or
ganization OF the State opened at the
Alhambra rink at noon. The plan OF
procedure included the adoption of a
platform, the election of 6S district
delegates, and four electors at large to
represent the gold standard democrats
of the State. 1t was decided to select
the two electors at large at this CONVEX
ton, and that the district electors be
chosen at another session, to be held
September n, after the Buffalo demo
cratic convention. The nomination OF
a second State ticket then will also
probably be made. The convention
will conclude its labors before O'Clock
and the delegates to Indianapolis will
leave on q special train this evening.
The platform comes out squarely in
favor of single gold standard and does
not indorse bimetallism, even if an in-
teruatonal agreement can be brought
about. The platform also declares for
tariff reform: it upholds President Cleve-
lands administration, indorses civil
service law and opposes repeal Of the
power of the government to issue bonds.
The convention, while waiting the
work of the committees, took recess
at so until 8 o'clock. Ex-Governor
Roswell P. Flower, of WATERFOWL, Ed
ward NJ. Shepard, of Brooklyn, General
Charles Tracy, of Albany, and Gen. g..
Magee, of Watkins, will probably be
chosen delegates at large to the Indian
apolis convention.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Li Hung
Chang and the leading members of his
suite, accompanied by distinguished
party of American friends, sailed at
$40 this morning on the United States
dispatch boat Dolphin for West Point.
The yellow dragon flag of China float
ed from the Dolphin's foremost, the
jack at the bow and TIE American flag
from the stern. The piers on both
sides of the East river were thronged
by persons as the Dolphin forged her
way through the water. The stream
was filled with steam craft which kept
up a constant shrieking ofwhistles, and
when opposite the navy yard the reg

Mr.. BRYAN IN NEW YORK.

A dispatch from Jamestown, \. y,
says: William J. Bryan has captured
the hearts of the farmers and won the
admiration OF the workingmen in west
ern New York. This was indicated al
the Knowlesville meeting on Friday.
1t was proven at Hornellsville on Sat.
urday. 1t was shown at every station
between Hornellsville and Jamestown,
on the Erie road, and made clear be-
yond the question ola doubt at Celoron
two miles from Jamestown, Saturday
night. 1.-THE people in western New
York vote in November as their manner
indicated, and as they say they intend
to, the stronghold of the republican
party may be carried for Bry an.
No enthusiasm such as that of Satur-
day has ever been known for any can.
didate in this section. Most of the re-
publicans in the western part OF New
York are for silver, and the farmers
y ho support Mckinley give as their
reason that they never voted for q
democrat. From Buffalo to Hornells-
vile Saturday morning people were at
all the stations. Farmers who had
driven miles were in the crowd. The
train made no stop which permitted 8
speech.
At Hornellsville FIVE thousand peo-
pie were at the depot to welcome
Bryan. The country is republican and
the crowd was largely composed of re-
publicans, but the shouts for Bryan
showed that most of those welcoming
him were for him politically.
Mr.. Bryan spoke Saturday night in
the Convention Hall at Celeron Oh
Lake Chautauqua, two miles from
jamestown. The determination OF
twice as many people as the hall could
hold to hear the presidential candidate
resulted in crush, which would have
ended in great loss of life if the panic,
which for an hour seemed imminent.
had not been prevented. The hall con
tains seats for 5000 people, but fully
$4,000 were packed into its frail walls
fighting for merely standing room an
hour before the speech making began.
Mr.. Bryan refused to speak till part
Of the audience retired, and then an
overflow meeting was held.

On SATURDAY last Mr.. Cleveland
as President of the United States, Off
cially and formally received the specia
envoy sent by the Chinese government
to this country. But ne did 80 at a
private house in New York, instead O.
at the White House at the seat of gov
ernment, as he should have done. But
worse still, in reply to the ENJOYS ap-
propriate address upon such an occa
sion he said
sit will not escape your notice that .
rich and fertile domain has here been
quickly created by those who Were
,sured that they would reap where
they had sowD; that strong and bench
cent government has been here estab
lished by those who loved freedom, and
that we have generous and patriotic
people, who love their government be
cause it is theirs-contracted by them,
administered for them, and protected
and saved from harm by them"
Why, didn't he follow the envoy
wise, usual and proper course, and con
fine himself to expressions of his OWL
and his country's amity and regard for
China, and her people, and her dis
tinguished representative, instead OF
utteripg platitudes about his own coun-
try aud his own people? But the H.
fluence of old associations is lasting, and
silk purses cannot be made of sow's ears

Lake steamer Celeron, accompanied by
q number of people from jamestown.
At Bemus Point the boat made land
ing long enough to permit the candi-
date to shake hands with about one
hundred people. A crowd of about the
same number greeted him at Chautau-

at 9:15 q. N. There were cheers for

At 10 o'clock the Celeron with the Bry-

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
The Rate Cutting Decision.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. 3l.-Judge
c. 81. Simonton this morning filed his
decision dismissing the bill and dissolv-
ing the injunction in the famous rail
road Injunction case. 1t will be remem-
bered that the court issued a temporary
injunction against the Seaboard Air
Line and the Southern States Freight
Association prohibiting them from cut
ting rates or from continuing the war
in which they were engaging. The case
was heard at Greenville on August
18th and attracted attention throughout
the country. Arguments at the hearing
of the case were restricted to the juris-
diction of the courts. In closing his
decision Judge Simonton says: "The
temptation to enter upon the discus
sion Of the interesting points involved
is very great, but there seems to be no
escape from the conclusions reached.
The limited Jurisdiction of the court
stops Us at the threshold. 1t is ordered
that the temporary restraining order
heretofore in force be dissolved and
that the bill be dismissed, each party
paying his own costs"
New YORK, Aug. Silt was report
ed from Charleston to-day that Judge
Smouton had dissolved the Injunction
preventing the Southern Freight Asso-
citation from cutting rates 50 per cent
in retaliation for the 80 per cent cut by
the Seaooard Air Line. President
Spencer of the Southern Railway says:
II am just advised that the Injunction
against the cutting of rates has been
dissolved aud the bill dismissed by
Judge Simonton in the case of Receiver
Averill of the Port Royal and Augusta
against the other railroads. It is i'm
possible to say now what will follow.
Everything depends probably upon
what action the Seaboard Air Line will
take. If they again make wholesale
reductions in rates, the other lines will
no doubt arrange for an immediate
meeting to determine what can best be
done to conserve the revenues Of lines
in Southern territory"
