FAREWELL TO DIXIE.
Presidents Train Reaches the Texas
Capital.

AUSTIN, May 4.-Out of Dixie the
presidential party Travelled into the heart
Of the great southwest After leaving
New Orleans beautiful Bayou Tcche. the
home of the Acadians and the waving
ricefields of western Louisiana were pass
ed during the night, and the new oilheds
of Texas whirled by just at the peep of
day, too early to he seen by Mr.. Me
Kinlcy. The presidents reception in
the Lone Star State was contin
uation of the oeltion he had received
throughout the south. Every honor was
shown him and his party. and there was
much enthusiasm Governor Savers and
other prominent state officials met the
president at Houston, the first stopping
place inside the state, and accompanied
him as far as Austin, the capital.
Minute stops were made also at Hemp
stead, where the president shook hands
with number of people; at Brennan
and at Elgin.
The feature of the day was the recep-
ton accorded the party at Austin, which,
like New Orleans. had never before had
the honor of entertaining chief mags
trate of the nation. The city was pro-
fusely decorated, and in the evening
there was brilliant illumination of Con
gress avenue. Austin never before held
such crowd of people. They came from
every direction, some hundreds of miles,
and literally swampcd the hotel accom-.
modations of the city. 1t WAS estimated
that over 10000 visitors were here. As
the population of Austin is only 23.OO0
the tax upon its facilities can be imag
incd.

troupe has earned the commenda-

them. After a successful tour OF
