CELEBRATE ARRIVAL OF BOATS
Little Rock Welcomes New Pack
 ct Steamers.
The Brass Bands Aid in Salute, While Bells Ring and Factory Whis-
 ties Blow.

Little Rock. Ark, June ro. Just as it had been planned, the packets Grand and Rapids, the new boats purchased by the Little Rock Packet Co. to again open navigation on the upper Arkan- sas, steamed to the wharf at the foot of Commerce street this morn- ing at 10 o'clock, amid ringing of bells and blowing of whistles at all the manufacturing plants of the city. It was a royal welcome for the two boats which have made their way from Menominee, Wis. :, to Little Rock to take up the trade here. The boats last night tied up about IS miles below the city, in order to make the last lap easily this morning. At 8 o'clock several hundred citizens boarded the A. D. Allen and went down the river to meet the boats. It was with this escort the boats ar rived at the wharf, where 10 bands of the state, consolidated under one leader, struck up martial airs which refused to be drowned by the bells, whistles, and salutes of aerial bombs which were being ex- ploded. After the boats had touched the land and those in charge gave a hearty welcome, all the boats on the river here among them several government boats and many launches, formed par ade which passed up the entire river front and then back to the landing.
 AtII o'clock the boats returned to the wharf and the formal recep- ton began. Governor Donaghey delivered the address of welcome and w. M. Kavanaugh, one of the

No Strike Likely.

Little Rock, June I9.-Reports from Texarkana stating that a strike on the T. & P. by the hremen on that road would be immediately spread to all Gould lines, are not causing any uneasiness among the local firemen. One of the officials of the locomotive hremen on the Iron Mountain yesterday afternoon stated that if a strike should be called on the Iron Mountain it would be at distant time when all other efforts to settle with the railroads had proven unavailing. They scout the idea of there being strike on either of the Gould lines.

not in possession of the facts. His distinguished brother could tell him that the governor had no au- thority to hold up an appropri- ation. All the governor could do after signing the bill would be to request the board to hold the mat ter up until the money is in the treasury. This request was not made.
 "Only two prospective members of the board were consulted before appointment No other man on the b> ard had any knowledge that he would be appointed, The governor did call the attention of the two men consulted to a fact known to every intelligent man in the state, that the state treasury is about empty. These two mem- bers frankly told the governor that as citizens they had as much inter est in the financial standing of i the state as he, and, so far as they were concerned, i'll making ex- renditures for the sanitarium they would keep an eye on the treasury.
 Building Will Not Be Delayed
 "It is my judgment that majority of the board, leaving my self of consideration, are patriots and will do nothing to bankrupt the state. At the same time l do not believe the condition of our finances will delay the building of the sanitarium materially. Pros. pective locations must be visited, other sanitariums must be inspect ed, at least by the superintendent, and much work must be done be- fore the building can proceed.
