BANQUET A GREAT SUCCECC
New York’s Leading Merchants and Fi-
nanciers Were at the Table—Held ut
the New Delmonico’s—Gov. Black Says
New York Hasn‘t. Enough of Push.
New York, Nov. 24.-—-With all the fes-
tivities due to the occasion and char-
acteristics of the institution, the Cham-
ber of Commerce of the State of; New
York celebrated its 128th anniversary
last night in the new Delmonico ban-
quet room. Numerically it was the
largest banquet ever held by the insti-
' tution, nearly 500 persons being pres-
ent, among them the Governor of the
State, the Mayor of the city, and two
Cabinet officers. For two hours the
guests ate, drank and were merry, and
after that they listened to speeches on
various subjects of moment by men
specially qualified and specially invited
to speak on those subjects.
The eight tables at which the mem—
bers and guests were seated complete-
ly filled the big gold and old rose ban—
quet room, which for the first time was
thrown open to a. banquet. The dec~
orations of the tables were of crimson
meteor roses and pink bridesmaid
roses, except in the case of the, Presi-
dent’s table, which was decorated with
ferns, orchids and American Beauty
roses. At each plate was a menu card
showing a symbolical engraving. Over
the gold—lettered “Nineteenth Annual
SECRETARY GAGE.
Banquet of the Chamber of Commerce"
two female figures, murally crowned,
joined hands, typifying the union of
New York and Brooklyn, while under-
neath were seen the liner St Louis and
the famous locomotive No. 999.
In the orchestra gallery sat a number
of ladies, among them the ~ wife and
daughter of Secretary Wilson, of the
Chamber of Commerce, and the wife
and daughter of Rear Admiral Erbcn.
Father Ducey and Dr. Chauncey M.
Depew also wandered into the gallery'
during the proceedings, and was fol-
lowed by John Jacob Astor, who .is a
member of the Chamber.
Alexander E. Orr, the president of
the Chamber, presided. Lyman J.
Gage, the Secretary of the Treasury,
wasthe chief speaker and guest of
honor. He discussed the financial situ-
ation. Mr. Gage said, in part:
“The text to which I was called to
speak is thus stated-z ‘Currency Re-
form—Now or When?’ By implication
I am absolved from all obligation to
discuss the ‘how,’ or to go into details
of methods to achieve currency reform.
This is a great relief to me for two rea-
sons:
“First, it might be injudicious to an-
ticipate here and now what it will be
my ofiicial duty to set forth a little
later on.
"Second, it, would be to enter at once
the field of greatest controversy, where
doubts and fears are most numerous.
and where passions and prejudices
have their freest play.
‘vaery one favors reform—his kind
of reform. Many are willing to have
reform, anybody’s kind, if it can be
had without struggle and free of cost.
Others, seeing that the path of virtue
leads to serene and restful plains, are
willing to walk in the way of it, even
at the cost of present pain and sacri-
fice, ..
“Others tell us:
tract the currency, _nor shall you' per-
mit any substitution in the form of
bank notes.’ With all these limita-
tions, restrictions, and impossible con-
ditions, they respectfully submit that
they 'favor’ reform.
“These people ought to inform us _as_
to which of the two is the higher wis-
dom: To avail ourselves of conditions
favorable to the highest credit and
lowest interest to put our financial
house in order, or to'wait until another
period shall come, when, as in the un-
happy ‘days of 1860-‘65, we may be
forced to face dishonor or- to recover
ourselves at double interest upon obli-
gations realizing to our Treasury only
60—or 40—per cent. of the face of the
contract. _ '
“In a word, 'I commit myself to the
following proposition: At a cost too
contemptible for serious consideration.
the debatable condition of our currency
and banking system may be put upon
clearly safe, if not theoretically scien-
tific foundations. This may be secured
without any necwsary contraction of
the circulating medium of exchange,
and with no danger of an undue expan-
sion, and, best of all, this desirable end
may carry in its effect potential relief
to those districts in the South and
West, which, though rich in possibili-
ties of soil and climate, have been held
back through the absence of banking
capital and credit facilities.”
Gov. Black responded to the toast
“The State of New York.” Among
other things he said:
I “The commerce of New York has
been larger than that of all the other
ports in this country combined. It
has been and is the foundation of he'
prosperity and greatness. She car.
with less effort than any other city
control the traffic coming from the land
and from the sea. And yet, with a
magnificent harbor, with a population
steadily increasing, she has sat here
surrounded by railroads and rivers and
the ocean and seen the main' source of
her power and her glory constantly cle-
cline. , . ,,
“'1 here was a time when nearly. sev-
en-ientlrs cf, the imports and 'ox-
[30115 of this country were handled in

‘You shall not con-I
New York. That has gradually .di-
minirhed, until now it is scarcely half.
During thirty years last preceding 1896
the foreign commerce of New York
shrunk from 59 to 61 per cent., while
1305.011, with a smaller harbor, with no
..\"::s or canals, has during the same
{cried doubled hers. There may be
other reasons for this unfavorable
comparison, but this at least is one.
Boston has done her best, and New
York has not. And it has often hap-
pened in the world that in time the
best efforts of the weak surpass the
indifferent efforts of the strong.”
Gov. Black was followed by Major-
took the
pIaCe of Major-Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
who was unable to be present, in re-
sponding lto the toast, “The Army.”
“The Navy" was responded to by
Comrizmlore Francis M. Bunce.
Mayor Strong discussed “The Duties
and Obligations of a. Citizen of New
York.”
President Daniel C. Gilman, of Johns
Hopkins Uri versity, was the last speak-
er. His sul ‘ect was “Commerce, the
Child of Science, and Its Filial Sup-
porter.”
The dinner wound up with a toast to
Mr. Delmr- '0.
Among l‘..e other guests present were
Russell A. Alger, Secretary of War;
Gov. Black, Mayor Strong, Mayor-
elect Van VVyck, Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
President Daniel G. Gilman of Johns
Hopkins University, President Seth
Low of Columbia University, Carl
Schurz, Samuel D. Babcock and Henry
E. Howlanfl.
The Committee of Arrangements
spared no effort to make the dinner
surpass all previous affairs of the
Chamber in interest, and they were
aided in every possible way by George
Wilson, the secretary of the Chamber.
Among the members of the Chamber
of Commerce who were present were
John Jacob Astor, George F. Baker,
August Belmont, Calvin S. Brice, Ver-
non H. Brown, John Clafiin, Henry
Clews, William P. Clyde, James B. Col-
gate, S. V. R. Cruger, Chauncey M. De-
William E. Dodge, and many
others.
BRYAN PLAYS FOOTBALL.
Late Presidential Candidate Starts
' a Game in Missouri.
Columbia, Mo., Nov. 24.—-William J.
Bryan, late Presidential candidate, ap-
peared in Columbia in an altogether
new role. Mr. Bryan participated in
his first game of football. Clad in a
striped old-gold and black sweater, the
erstwhile Presidential candidate ap—
peared on the athletic field of the Mis-
souri University and took part in the
game. It was a practice game between
the ’Varsity and the Alumni teams,
, and Mr. Bryan had been persuaded to
go to the field by the college boys. Once
on the field, it was suggested that the
distinguished guest take part in the
game.
At the solicitation of Capt. Hill and
Coach Young, Mr. Bryan consented to
Capt. Hill of-
fered the Nebraskan his sweater, which
was pulled on amid a deafening col-
lege yell. Mr. Bryan strode on the
field. The ball was placed in position,
and, after a fer-s rehearsals, Mr. Bryan.
planted his No. 10 fairly and squarely
under the sphere and the ball went
sailing down the field for forty yards.
Mr. Bryan retired to the side lines and
watched the scrimmage, continuing to
wear the sweater during the game. He
was much impressed with the play and
said that, while it was not played in
his college days, he was-certain that
he would have been on a team had he
been given a chance.
BIG VENEZUELAN CONCESSIONS.
Gov. Pingree’s Grunt Cbst $250,000
and Is \Vorth $20,000,000.
Cleveland, Nov. 24.—Dr. S. C. Both-
well, of this city, who has spent most
of the last thirty-five years in Ven-
ezuela, is authority for the statement
that before the week is over there will
be incorporated under the laws of New
Jersey orOhio a stock company to be
known as the Piriza Railway and Com-
merce Company. The concern has ob-
tained concessions of territory from
Venezuela as large as the State of
Ohio._ ’The company is composed of
Cleveland and Eastern capitalists and
will develop the asphalt mines of1Ven—‘
ezuela.
Dr. Bothwell also says that Gov.
Pingree of Michigan obtained a grant
of the Rio Limon tract of land, em-
bracing a lately discovered asphalt
mine, and that the deal was made only
after the Michigan man had planked
down $250,000 spot ca‘sh andhad prom-
ised to improve the Rio Limon and
make it navigable. The grant conced-
ed to Gov. Pingree is reported to be
worth $20,000,000.

Arrival in New York of the Com-
petitor’s’ Crew.
TWO YEARS IN CHAINS
The Alleged Ellibusters Kept for
Eighteen Months “'ithout Exer-
cise or Fresh Air—Their Trial by
Court-Martial a Force.
New York, Nov. 23.—Aboard the
Ward Line steamship Saratoga, which
reached this. port yesterday afternoon
from Havana, were the Competitor
prisoners, who, after having been im-
prisoned_in the Cabana Fortress for
nearly two years, were finally par-
doned last week and banished from the
island. The men are Laborde, -Melton,
Gildea, Leavitt and' Barnett. They
were released by Capt.-Gen. Blanco on
instructions from Madrid, and the ac-
tion was said to be significant of
Spain’s new policy in Cuba.
During their imprisonment the pris-
oners were subjected to cruel treat-
ment, beaten and starved. until Gen.
Lee. interceded and had their rights as
American citizens respected.
The little American‘schooner Com-
petitor was captured in Cuban waters
on April 25, 1896, with Capt. Laborde
- and the othergnen on" board. She car—
ried ammunition, but the men taken
prisoners had no arms on their person.
After, a summary court-martial,
against which the United States pro-
tested, all the prisoners were ordered
shot, but before Weyler could hasten
to execute the sentence Spain rushed
in and granted a respite.
Broken in health by their long con-
finement and the treatment accorded
them by their jailers, and clad only in
the rags which they have worn since
they were captured over a year and a.
half ago, they made a. pitiable specta-
cle as they walked down the gang-
plank of the steamer and fell into the
arms of their friends, who had been
waiting on the dock for hours.
Of the five men who returned yester-
day, young Melton was in far the
He went away on
the Competitor a robust man,
healthy, strong and weighing 165
pounds. He weighed just 100 pounds
when he landed, and was so weak that
he could scarcely talk above a whis-
per. His hands trembled violently,
and he looked to be nothing but skin
and bones. _In this condition he was
sent away from Cuba, with no clothing
but a white flannel shirt, the trousers
which he wore when he was captured,
a thin jacket, and shoes and socks.
His teeth were chattering with the
cold as he stood on the deck of the
Saratoga when she hauled into her
dock. One of the first men aboard the
steamer was a. Cuban, who quickly
stripped himself of his overcoat and
covered the shivering man with it.
William Leavitt, the cook of the
Competitor, was in almost as bad con—
dition. The others say that his suffer-
ings have affected his mind. He is a,
physical wreck, and had no more cloth-
ing than Melton. Capt. Laborde was
in fairly good shape, although he has
aged very much since he went away.
He is 39 years old, but looked 55 as he
walked down the gangplank yester-
day. His hair and beard were dark
now streaked with gray. Capt. La-
borde walked with the aid of a crutch.
His left leg is useless, rendered so by
two strokes of paralysis which he had
while in prison. In the matter of cloth-
ing he was better off than the rest, his
brother, Edwards Laborde, having sent
him a complete outfit : week before ne
was released. '
Owna Melton, the young newspaper
man, went to Cuba on the Competitor
in order to get inside the insurgent
lines. He had contracted to write a
series of articles about the insurgent
campaign for a Florida newspaper.
His protestations of neutrality when
captured availed him nothing, and if
anything he was treated worse than
the other prisoners. The‘resolution de-
manding his immediate release passed
the Senate. at the last session.
WHITE HOUSE RECEPTIONS.
A Plan to Divide Up the Guests So
as to ltcducc the Attendance.
Washington, Nov. 23.——An important
change in the manner of extending in-
vitations to, and the character of, the
.regular yearly official evening recep-
tions of the President, was announced
yesterday by Mr. John Addison Porter,
secretary to the President. Heretofore
a card of invitation was for' the series
of four functions. The new plan is to
divide up the persons entitled to attend
among the various affairs, so that a
member of Congress who is invited to
the reception in honor of the Diplo—
matic Corps will not receive an invita-
tion to the function in honor of the
army and navy. Mr. Porter said that
his reasons for making the change was
the necessity of reducing the attend-
ance, which in previous years had been
too great for the capacity of the White
House and the safety and comfort of
the guests.
As usual the official season will be-
gin with the afternoon reception on
New Year’s day. It will last from 11
a. m. until 1.30 p. m., half an hour
shorter than customary.
Scored the Evangelists.
Pittsburg, Nov. 23.———The second day’s
session of the Methodist Congress was
held in Christ M. E. Church yesterday.
Dr. Horace Lincoln Jacobs, of Tyrone,
spoke on “Superficial Revivals.” He ad-
ministered a severe rebuke to profes-
sional evangelists. saying:
“The labors of professional evange-
lists, who are far from the New Testa-
ment type, who depend upon the might
of extreme mannerisms and their expe-
rience, who are reprobate concerning
the truth, their chief stock in trade
being invective and tirade upon the
church and the ministry, and who can
cite Scripture, as does the devil, for a
purpose, have done, alas, too much to
produce and spread superficial revi-
vals." I

CHEERS FROM THE CROWD
The Official Report Says the Public
Greeted Him .Coldly—Other Re-
ports Say 20,000 Joined in the
Demonstration.
Barcelona, Spain, Nov. 24.—Gen. Wey—
ler, the former Captain-General of
Cuba, arived here yesterday on board
the steamer Montserrat. He landed
beneath the Columbus monument at 10
a. m., and was received by about tWen-
ty thousand people.
«’In order to escape the crowd, the
General was driven to the house of
Deputy Saladrigas, where, however, he
was forced to appear upon the balcony,
and was applauded by the multitude
which had gathered about the house.
A number of bands took part in the
welcome, and the Montserrat was met
by many boats decorated with flags.
When the Captain-General landed, ac-
companied by Gen. Monta‘ner, he en-
tered the cariage of Deputy'Saladrigas,
and on the way to the latter’s house
Gen. Weyler cried: "Long live national
production!"
The General. also called for cheers
for “Spain” and “Spanish Cuba,” which
met with enthusiastic responses from
the populace. '
Official Reports of Indifference. ‘
Madrid, Spain, Nov. 24.—The official
report of the landing of Gen. Weyler
at Barcelona differs from the independ-
ent reports. The former says the Gen-
eral landed without the demonstration
in his honor assuming the proportions
anticipated, and that as he traversed
the streets the 'public appeared indif-
ferent.
The official version adds that six gala
carriages awaited the General, but that
the crowd was small, little enthusiasm
was manifested, and there were no del~
egations of students or politicians, and
that no windows were decorated.
' Autonomy Plans Approved.
Madrid, Nov. 24.—The Cabinet has
approved the Sagasta scheme for the
autonomy of Cuba, with the exception
of the clauses of the trade regulations
giving the Cuban Chamber the right
to ‘fix the Cuban tariff.
This was the part of the plan of au-
tonomy which was opposed by the
Catalonian deputation that waited
upon Senor Moret, Minister of the Col-
onies, Monday, to urge the protection
of Spanish imports into Cuba.
Trying to Buy Gomez 0ft.
Wasn’ngton, Nov. 24.—-Information
received at the State Department con-
firms the story from Havana that the
Spanish authorities are trying to bribe
the insurgent leaders to lay down their
arms. Negotiations are now being at-
tempted with Gen. Gomez to abandon
the insurgents’ cause and retire from
the island, accepting a bonus and a
pension for life. Should Gomez accept
this proposition, it would leave Calixo
Garcia the only leader of any prom-
inence in the insurgent ranks, and it is
stated that a similar attempt will be
made to buy him off. -
DOOM FOR MEYER.
The Church Murderer Sentenced to
’ the Death Chair.
New York, Nov. 24.—-Constantine
Steiger, alias Fritz Meyer, was yester-
day sentenced to be electrocuted during
the week beginning Jan. 10 next by
Justice Fursman in the Criminal
Branch of the Supreme Court.
tors when the prisoner was brought
into court. His face was pallid, but
he showed no other outward signs of
anxiety. His counsel, Lawyer O’Hare,
moved for a new trial on eight counts,
and when it Was denied he moved for
an arrest of judgment. It was over-
ruled. r '
Judge Fursman then pronounced sen-
tence. His tone was so low as almost
to be inaudible, even to the prisoner,
but that poor wretch could hear very
well the date when he was to pay the
law in full for his crime.
The prisoner bore his sentence with-
out wincing. It would haVe been im-
possible for him to turn paler, for
throu’ghout his appearance in court he
was as pale as a corpse.
Steiger ‘shott Policeman Frederick
Smith in the Church of the Most Holy
Redeemer in East Third street a month
ago. He had broken into the church
for the purpose of robbing it. There
he stumbled upon a burglar alarm,
and, his presence becoming known,
the police were notified. Among others
who responded was Smith, who en-
countered the burglar in the parochial
schoolroom attached to the church.
There he shot the policeman and made
window.
The trial was one of the most rapid
in the history of the Criminal Court.
The murderer was placed on trial with-
in four days after the commission of
the crime, and the greater part of the
time of the trial was consumed in col-
lecting a jury. The jury promptly con-'
victed him of murder in the first de-
gree, for which he was sentenced yes-
terday.
Meyer was taken to Sing Sing yester-
day afternoon with two burglars, who
haVe been sentenced to two years and
four months each. The men are Will-
iam Chauler and William Purdy, to
whom Meyer was handcuffed. The men
were in charge of Deputy Sheriffs En-
gle and Kelly.

Chinese Want to Vote.
Chicago, Nov. 24.——Americanized and

and ask that body to repeal the anti-
Chinese law passed in 1882. A public.
mass meeting will be held at Central
Music Hall next Saturday and prom-
inent Chinese from all over the United
States will address the meeting. They
will declare that wrongs have been in-
flicted upon them since they have been
refused the rights of citizenship, and
will ask the people of the United States
to help them in their cause.

GIGANTIC PIANO TRUST.
Plans for Combining the Biggest
Concerns ln thejiulted States.
New York,'Nov. 24.—All the great
piano manufacturing concerns in the
United States are working together to
form a gigantic trust. It is the inten-
tion to absorb at least 200 factories,
squeeze out the samller ones, and con-
centrate the business in a. few of the
biggest manufactories.
Negotiations are progressing, cloaked
under the greatest secresy. It is known
that several bankers in the country
and Europe have spoken favorably of
advancing the 860,000,000 which would
be necessary to carry through the deal...
W. W. Kimball, of Chicago, or Alfred
Dodge, of this city, it is said, will be
president of the new giant enterprise.
The Steinway, Chickering, Knabe
and Kimball and Cable companies,
with the big concern of Alfred Dodge,
would form the nucleus 1, and real
strength of the trust.
But (our grades of pianos would be
manufactured, and all competition and
atendant expenses would be eliminated.
The trust could absolutely control
prices.
Mildred Brewster’s Trial.
Montpelier, Vt., Nov. 24.—-—Mildred
Brewster’s trial for the murder of An-
nie Wheeler will not go on at this term
of court.
It has been put over till March, that
the Supreme Court may decide the
technical question raised by the fact
that the court stenographer was in the
Grand Jury room when the prisoner’s
case was being considered.
Miss Brewster shot Miss Wheeler and
attempted to kill herself last May, jeal-
ousy over John Wheeler, whom both
girls loved, being the cause.
Delay for Foster.
Paris, Nov. 23.—-The extradition of
William R. Foster, who was arrested at
Neuilly a short time ago upon a charge
of stealing $193,000 belonging to the
Gratuity Fund of the New York Pro—
duce Exchange, has been postponed,
probably for three weeks, on account
of a tehnical point relating to the ab-
sence of a signature from the papers
necessary to his surrender to the Amer-
ican authorities.
It is thought thht this delay in his
extradition has been created in order to
enable Foster's friends to arrange a
compromise in his case.
