ARRIVED AT SAN DIEGO.
Long Trip Around the World Nearly
Completed.

SOTplcISO.
A parade of blue jackets and ma
rines landed from the American bat
tleship fleet, 5000 fighting men fresh
from a cruise of more than $4,000
miles-marked today the ceremonies
of official welcome TO the state of Cal
ifornia. SiXty-fOur companies of sail
ors in their togs of the sea and 16
companies of marines formed this
most notable of the navy's land dis
play.
The procession that the men Of the
navy formed was more than two miles
long. They marched from the water
front to the city park, over three
miles of streets canopied with decora- =
tions which combined the red, white
and blue of the nation and the gold
and white of the state.
At the city park the sailors passed
in review before Rear Admirals
Thomas. Sperry and Emory, and Gov
ernor Gillett and his staff. Three
thousand school children waving flags
and banners were massed directly in
front of the reviewing stand and their
songs and cheers were one of the
prettiest features of the days celebra-
ton.
Governor Gillett in a brief speech
supplemented his words of welcome
spoken yesterday on the Connecticut,
and Rear Admiral Thomas made for
NAL response.
Admiral Thomas then graciously
accepted, in Admiral Evans behalf,
a golden key symbolical of the free
dom of the city. The token will be
forwarded to Admiral Evans at Paso
RObles. There will go with it gold
mounted and jeweled naval sword
presented today to Admiral Evans,
through Admiral Thomas, by the pa
triOtic fraternities Of the CITY, includ-
ing the Grand Army of the Republic,
the Confederate veterans and Spanish
war veterans.
To Admirals Thomas, Sperry and
Emory gold metals, commemorative of
their visits. were presented, and there
also was a medal for Capt. r. r. In
gersOn. who served as chief of staff to
Admiral Evans from Hampton Roads
to Magdalena bay. The medal will be
sent to Captain IngersOll at Norfolk.
Tonight a ball was rendered to the
admirals and the officers of the fleet
at the Hotel Del COronadO.-San Die

REPRESENTATIVE Aiken is trying to
secure the refund of about $6O,OOO,-
900 cotton tax collected from the south
during the first few years following
the war The tax was imposed dl-
rectly on cotton and one of its principal
objects was to make the people of the
south bear the whole financial burden
of the war. In the course of time the
tax was declared unconstitutional as
everybody knew it was from the first,
and then the northern people began to
work the protective tariff idea strong
er and stronger to the same end. That
the cotton tax should be refunded
there is absolutely no question; but as
to whether it will ever be is very
doubtful. However, Congressman All
ken is to be commended for his efforts
to secure justice in the matter.

Next Sunday is Easter.

Corn is being sold on time at $1.25
a bushel. What farmer can stand 1t!
information gathered from the most
reliable sources accessible, Is to the
effect that the farmers Of the south
are going to put n larger acreage in
cotton this year than ever before
II has not been practicable to secure
statistics as to fertilizer sales in York
county this year; but from such in
formation as has been obtainable 1t Is
safe to say that the aggregate amount
is as large as last year.
1t is beginning to look like YORK
county juries are developing more
decided tendency to enforce the laws
against all criminals, including mur-
derers: but the personnel Of the jurors
of course. enters very largely into, the
proposition.
The action of the grand jury in call
ing upon the county board OF cornmls-
sioners to refund an amount paid out
for a bridge over a road that had been
discontinued to the public has occa-
stoned not a little comment. inquiry
of members of the grand jury deVel-
ops that the bridge was built on the
plantation of Mr.. James Cansler, near
Tirzah. If the facts are as the grand
Jury has reason to believe, the COM
missioners will make good to the
treasurer and Mr.. Cansler, or whoever
caused the bridge to be erected, Will
make good to the commissioners.

AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATION.
Mr.. Bryan Draws Distinctions Between
Himself and Roosevelt

MI VIM J. Bryan made Il speech in
the opera house at Grand Rapids,
Mich. last Wednesday night and among
other things said:
Il do not blame President Roosevelt
for the financial depression. If | had
been president | would have been
blamed for the trouble. Roosevelt says
he only turned on the light. | only
blame him for having Il gas fixture so
bad it has taken him five years to turn
it on. The Republican party sold the
country To Wall street in 1896 and de-
livered the goods. When Il gambler in
Wall street gets cold today the whole
country has to Shiver.
NO one in the United States gets
more pleasure out of what the preSi-
dent has done than | do. | think |
am his greatest beneficiary. He has
made my ideas respectable. And the
people use me better, too. The papers
speak more kindly Of me. The car
tuOns are not 81 bad. They used To
make such horrible pictures Of me
that | was afraid To have the papers
come into the house"

NEGRO IN POLITICS.
Curious View Attributed to Hon. Leon
r. Livingston.

Curious View Attributed to Hon. Leon
r. Livingston.
There must be some mistake In the
story sent to the New York Sun from
Atlanta that the Hon. Leonidas F.
Livingston, Democratic member OF
congress from the Atlanta district, is
advising his supporters to vote against
the constitutional amendment framed
to disfranchise the negroes because ne
thinks the Democrats will need them
to defeat Thomas E. Watson, the Pop
ulist leader" In recent speech In
Campbell county Mr. Livingston is
quoted as saying:
II advise you not to vote to dis
franchise the negroes for Wen need
them in a short time to defeat Tom
Watson and his crowd, which the ne
gro calls poor white trash. With the
negro disfranchised Watson would
dominate the state"
We can hardly believe that Mr..
Livingston holds the views thus attri-
buted to him, but, If he does, the
people Of the Atlanta district ought TO
retire him from their service at Wash
ingtOn. we LnlDR MI. WdtSOH 10 ipu-
ically wrong in his political opinions,
but he has at least the courage of his
convictions. and, whatever may be
said as to the errancy of his political
course, surely he is not to be attacked
on the ground that he belongs to the
class described by Mr.. Livingston and
the negroes as poor white trash"
Mr.. Watson is lawyer by profession,
a gentleman by education. He Is also
an author Of some note, and Is prob
ably almost as sound in his Democracy
as Mr.. Livingston himself. Moreover,
he is a white man, and even II 1t be
true as Mr.. Livingston says, with the
negro disfranchised Watson would
dominate the state" that would be
far more desirable than to have the
negro made a factor in the determin-
alton of political contests in Georgia,
Besides, if there should be a scramble
for the negro vote in Georgia Mr.
Watson would probably be able TO
vote as many negroes as Mr.. Living
ston.-News and Courier.

YARNS LOWEST IN TEN YEARS.-Both
weavers and knitters state that they
are being offered cotton yarns from
stock at the lowest prices touched in
10 years From the frequency with
which stock yarns are offered, and the
prices at which sellers are willing TO
accept business, it becomes more and
more apparent that pressure to sell is
stronger than ever. In this and other
markets, stocks are said to have ac-
cumulated to a marked extent, and
holders of these stocks realize that
they must dispose of what they have
at the best possible prices they can
get, regardless of the original cost.
While in some quarters orders are
reported as slightly better than they
were q week ago, the demand is not
large. and the prices at which the
yarns are changing hands are by no
means satisfactory to the seller Many
forced sales at low prices are report
ed, while other offerings at equally
low figures are still left on dealers
or spinners' hands. Knitters in some
sections have been attracted by the
low prices named. and have taken
some supplies for lightweight goods
On the other hand spinners claim
that there are many knitters who re-
fuse to accept deliveries now due on
orders placed sometime ago at higher
price levels.
WcaverS do not appear to be inter-
eSted i'm taking further supplies. no
matter how low the prices named may
be. Values are very irregular and
they change so frequently that it is
almost impossible To name prices that
convey any idea of the actual situation
in the market. 1t is safe to say that
