The Presidential Party Enters the
State in a Driving Rain Storm.

THE CAPITAL’S RECEPTION.

Governor Pennoyer and a Distinguished
Committee Met the Party—The Gov-
ornor Did the Honors at the State
House—Tour Through the State.

AsnLAN'D, May 6.—In the midst of a
driving rain storm the presidential spe-
cial crossed from California into Oregon.
The rain continued to fall until the train
reached Ashland, Where a. large crowd had
assembled. Joseph Simon, president of
the state senate, and a committee of the
Oregon legislature boarded the train at
this point, and Mr. Simon delivered a
short address of welcome on behalf Of the
legislature, to which the president re-
sponded as follows:

MR. SIMON AND GENTLEMEN or THE COM-
MITTEE—I esteem it an honor that the legis-
lature of this state of Oregon has taken this
notice of my visit, and I receive with pleasure
this welcome you have extended to me. Iam

very glad to greet you, and it will give me pleas-
ure to see you further before I leave this state.

At the station he addressed the crowd as
follows:

MY FRIENDS—This cordial welcome under
these infelicitous circumstances is very gratify-
ing to us as we enter the great state of Oregon.
In the state of California we had sunshine, and
it was perhaps quite to be expected that the
favorable weather conditions should, draw
about our platform a large concourse of people;
but you have evinced your interest in the gov-
ernment and in the flag and your friendly in-
terest in us by turning out in this inclement
weather to bid us welcome to your‘ state. I
thank you most sincerely, and wish for you and
yours all good, and for your state a continued
career of development and prosperity.

After brief addresses by Messrs. Wana-
maker and Rusk the train left for Med-
ford, followed by a special train having on
board the legislative committee.

A Short Stay at Medford.

MEDFORD, On, May 6,—The president’s
party was given a hearty reception here,
but the exercises were necessarily brief
because of the short stay. When the train
came into the station the local G. A. R.
posts were drawn up in line to receiver the
party, and as the president appeared he
was greeted with prolonged cheering. The
president was then introduced by the
mayor, and spoke as follows:

COMRADES AND FELLOW CITIZENS -It gives
me great pleasure to see you tonight, especial-
ly to these old comrades greeting. I would
have you think me as a comrade. I recall those
army scenes which are fresh in your minds as
well, the scenes of privation, suffering and bat-
tle, and I am glad to see that the old flag which
you took to the field and brought home in
honor is still held in honor among you. It is a
beautiful emblem of a great government.

We ought to teach our children to love it and
regard it as a. sacred thing, a. thing for which
men have died and for which men will die. It
symbolizes the government of the states under
one constitution, for while you are all Oregon-
ians and I am an Indianian, and each has his
pride in state institutions and all that properly
pertains to our state government, we have a
large and greater pride in the fact that we are
citizens of a nation of a union of states having
a common constitution.

It is this flag that represents us on the seas
and in foreign countries. It is under this flag
that our ships sail and our armies march. I
thank you for this cordial greeting. I hope you
have found in this state comfortable homes, and
that in the years that remain to you God will
follow you with those blessings which your
courage and patriotism and sacrifices so well
merited. [Cheers]

When the president had concluded his

remarks the veterans filed past him and

each one warmly grasped his hand in a
vigorous shake. Then, amid renewed
cheering, the train proceeded on its way to
Salem.

‘Velcomed by Governor Pennoyer.

SALEM, Ore., May 6,—When the train
bearing the presidential party arrived here
Tuesday a brilliant spectacle met the eyes
of the tourists. The ladies of the city out-
did themselves in the decorations, and
flowers of all kinds were massed in such
profusion as to almost bewilder one with
the beauty of the scene.

Governor Pennoyer, the mayor of the
city, Chief Justice Strahan, Judge R. S.
Bean, State Treasurer Metchan, Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction McElroy,
Senators Carson, Mackay, Willis, Wait,
Steele, ex—Governor Moody, Mayor G. M.
Grainger, Judge Advocate Colonel J. T.
Bowditch and General J. M. McCall, were
in waiting at the depot, and in company
with the committee which boarded the
train at Ashland escorted the party to the
State house. At the State house the
governor did the honors. As the stay here
was only for an hour, immediately after
the procession which paraded past the
capitol was over the party was driven to
the train and amid a. bombardment of
flowers and the applause of the crowds
which thronged all about the depot, the
train pulled out for Portland. The presi-
dent expressed himself as highly gratified
at the hearty reception which the party
had been tendered.

Portland’s Greeting.

PORTLAND, Ore., May 6.—-If it had not
been for the rain which fell in torrents the
decorations of this city in honor of the
president and his fellow travelers would
have been much more elaborate. As it
was, however, a very fine display was
made. It was nearly 2 o’clock Tuesday
afternoon before the train rolled into the
station, and an enthusiastic crowd, despite
the inclement weather, was on hand and
yelled itself hoarse as the guests of the
city alighted from the cars. ’

Aprocession was at once formed, and
the line of march taken up through all
the principal streets, which were lined
with women as well as men, waving hand-
kerchiefs, throwing flowers and applaud—
ing as the party went by. When the cus-
tom house was reached the party left the
carriages and reviewed the parade from an
elaborately decorated Stand, which had
been erected for the purpose. In the pro-
cession were the local militia, all the G.
A. R. posts and a large number of clubs
and societies.

After the parade the party was driven to
the LOi-illard hotel, which was most beauti-
fully decorated, flowcrs banking the halls,
stairways and rooms in prodigal profu-
sion. Here lunch was served, and then
nearly all of the party retired to take a
much needed rest.

At 8 o’clock in the evening a reception
was held in the pavilion. It was a grand
affair and thousands of Oregonians pressed
forwu-d to grasp the president by the
hand. The president, “Uncle Jerry” and
Postmaster General Wanamaker were in
the best of spirits, and if they were at all
tired they did not show it in the least.
After the reception was over a collation

was served and informal speeches; were

' to seek safety outside. .

While the reception at the pavilion was
in progress the ladies of the city were ten.
dering a reception to the ladies of the
presidential party in the parlors of the
Lorillard hotel. The parlors were deco-
rated with Oregon flowers and wild dog-
wood blossoms, wild grape and ferns. Mrs.
Dolph, wife of the senator, ntroduced Mrs.
Harrison to the callers, an Mrs. Pennoyer
and Mrs. Delashmitt assisted in receiving.

The festivities were continued till nearly
midnight, and after a short rest the party
again entered carriages and were driven to
the depot, and shortly after midnight the
train pulled out for Tacoma.

 

A BIG FIRE IN TROY.

Nearly $400,000 Damage and Four Hun- I
drcd Men Thrown Out of Work.
TROY, N. Y., May 6.-—The engine house
of the Breaker Island Blast furnaces was
burned. The engine house was a brick
building, situated just north of the blast
furnaces, and behind Engine No. 2. The
blaze was first discovered in apile of waste.
The frightened men working in the build-
ing gave the alarm promptly, but their
cries were of little avail, there being prac-
tically nothing at hand to stay the prog-
ress of the flames, and the men were forced

The fire being outside the city limits, it
had its own way for over two hours, eat-
ing everything inflamable within reach,
and the seven magnificent Dickson engines
in the building were shortly reduced to a
mass of mixed steel and iron of the most
useless character. The fire has crippled
the company more seriously than any ac-
cident that has ever occurred at their
works, and it will be many months before
the blasts on the island will again be put
in order.

Coupled with the loss the company sus-
tains by the fire is that of nearly $1,000 a
day for every day the works are not run-
ning, and the falling off of orders. The
seven engines alone were valued at about
$250,000, and the building so completely
destroyed, with all its furnishings, cost
$50,000 alone. There is but a. partial in-
surance on the buildings and engines.

The fire will of necessity cause a. com-
plete suspension of work at Breaker Isl~
and until repairs are made, and'this means
that about 400 men, nearly all of whom
have families depending upon them for
support, will be out of work for a long
time. The fire will also have its efiect on
the men employed, at the steel works. For
a long time the hot iron has been taken
from Breaker Island to the steel works,
and there used in casting without reheat-
ing. The company will now be obliged to
start up the blast furnaces at the steel
works and fill orders as best it can. The
total loss will reach $400,000.

Tried to Raise Money to Elope.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, May 6.-—Lizzie Alger,
a girl of good reputation, has been arrest‘
ed for attempting to pass forged checks.
The checks were alleged to have been made
out by David B. Rinsey, and one of them
was presented by the young lady to A. L. '
Noble for payment. Mr. Noble has been
caught once or twice by forged checks,
and in company with the girl he visited
Mr. Rinsey’s place of business, and the
papers were at once declared to be forge-
ries. An officer was called, and Miss Alger
was found to have three other checks ag-
gregatin g $100. She was placed in jail.
The officers believe the job was planned by
two men, who were trying to raise money
in this way with which to elope with this
girl and a friend of hers.
