Presbyterians Received by Presi-

THE ADVICE OF MODERATOR CRAIG.

He Tells the Chief Magistrate to be
Obedient to His Presbyterian Wife.
The President’s Views on Our Duty as

. a Christian People.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-—President and
Mrs. Cleveland received the commissioner
Of and visitors to the Presbyterian Gen-
eral Assembly in the east room of the
White House yesterday. They entered the
room in which the head of the procession
was already massed accompanied by Rev.
and Mrs. Wilton Merle Smith, of New
York, guests of the house. and Mrs. J. M.
Wilson. Mrs. Cleveland wore a gray gown
of soft clinging material, trimmed with
black velvet and looked the embodiment
of good health. Dr. Craig, moderator, was
presented to the president by Dr. Bartlett,
chairman of the committee of arrange-
ments, and made a brief felicitous address,
' in the course of which he said:

“You know somewhat of the Presby-
terian church. Many of these gentlemen
who are here had precisely the same gen-
eral experience that you had, perchance,
reared amidst the plain living and high
thinking of that wonderful nursery of
strong men. We have common experiences
which make us, though we may never
have come together before, to be, as it
were, friends, because we know the things
Which have, perchancc, made us to be
worthy of the esteem of our fellowmen,
and made you, sir, worthy to rule, with
the confidence of your fellow citizens gath-
ered close around you. the mightiest na-
tion of the whole world.

“Sir, let me congratulate you upon the
fact that sturdy Presbyterians now hedge
you round about, and that the sturdiest
Presbyterian of us all is at your side, a
holy benediction to keep you straight to
the faith of your ancestors, which is not
only the great assurance of success, but is
the highway to the immediate presence of
the living God. I am not much inclined to
the common saying “You must be obe-
dient unto your wives.” ,I never was yet
enabled to do that, as I have been Officiatv
ing around the holy altar. But, sir, as you
are entitled to give us not only instruction
from your high place, but order, now I
have this little chance to give you an in-
struction, I tell you be obedient to her. ‘

“I have but one word more to say, sir,
and this gives me more pleasure than
imost men who are addressing you in these
early, and I am afraid, later hours. You
ought to be refreshed when you talk with
a man who represents 2,500 people, who
don’t want a single office.”

In conclusion Dr. Craig delivered the
assembly’s invitation to the president to
visit the assembly.

President Cleveland said in response:
U“I assure you it affords me much per-
sonal gratification to meet on this occasion
the representatives of that great religious

denomination which has done so much to

make our people better and happier,.and

which is associated with so many tender _

and pleasing incidents of my individual
experience. The thought is also in my
mind that, in the light of my public duties
and responsibilities, there is a propriety in
extending to you a welcome to this home
of the nation’s chief executive.

“\Ve still profess to be a Christian peo-
ple. This means that no public officer of
high or low degree should be unmindful of
the restraints of religious sentiment. It
means that the religious teachings of our

people should lead them to exact from

those who make and execute their laws a
recognition of these restraints. __ It means
that the rules which a popular religious
sense approves, should underlie the per-
formance of every public duty. '

“You, therefore, will, I hope, permit me
to say that though you do well to insist
upon the conscientious discharge of of-
ficial obligations, and though you ought
never to shrink from the exposure of of-
ficial shortcomings, the contribution you
owe towards accomplishing good govern-
ment will not be fully made unless you
teach the people by precept and example
that they will find their safety and wel-
fare enforcing upon their public servants
the observance of the mandates of Chris-
tianity and morality.

"There ought to be inspiration in the
thought that our country’s destiny is in
our hands, and it ought to dignity our
Americanism to feel and know t._.it those
who teach, and those who govern, and
those in every walk of citizenship have a
share in our preservation as a. Christian
people, and in the guarantee this affords
of grand national achievements.”

The visitors were then presented by
name to the president by Dr. Bartlett, and
to Mrs. Cleveland by Colonel J. M.VVilson.

The only matters of public importance
at yesterday’s session of the assembly was
the appointment of a committee to con-
sider the attitude of the gathering on
Chinese exclusion and the adopfin-xof a
resolution, introduced by Rev. Charles A.
Dickey, submitting to the presbyteries a
new plan for church trials. ‘ '

Sunday Opening of the Fair Post-
poned for Another Week.

THOMAS HAS NOT YET RESIGNBD.

He Is Now Willing to Use Only the. In-
struments [of Exhibitors—Sustained in
His Position by the Local Directors.
A Bow in the “'oman’s Congress.

CHICAGO, May 20.—Suuday opening of
the World’s fair has been postponed for a
Week. The local directors held a meeting
last, evening at which it was decided to
close the f iir tomorrow in order to give
the national commission suflicient time to
take action on the new Sunday opening
bill.

' While the local directors are anxious to
have the sanction of the national com-
mission in opening the exposition on the
first day of the week, it was apparent from
their expressions at last night’s meeting
that, until the courts interfere, the great,
show will be open on May 28, regardless of

 

CURTAILING EXPENSES.

any action the national commissioners
may take. The great public which has
been clamoring so loudly for Sunday open-
ing is becoming. impatient at the delay,
and it is not improbable that some diffi-
culty will be experienced in keeping the
people out of the grounds tomorrow.

At the meeting of the national commis—
sion yesterday Commissioner Myers, of
Kentucky, objected to any hasty action
being taken on Sunday opening, and
moved to have the judiciary committee
report made a special order for ,Monday,
and he was strongly backed by other mem-
bers. There are five members of the com-
mittee here, and it is well known that the
majority report will favor concurring in
the rule presented by the directors provid-
ing for Sunday opening. There was more
discussion among the members which
showed that the feeling was against voting
on the judiciary committee’s reports before
next week, so that the commission could
be sure of a quorum. This sentiment
found expression in the almost unanimous
adopting of Commissioner Myer’s motion.

Theodore Thomas has made no reply to
Director General Davis’fletter requesting
his resignation as director of the music
bureau of the World’s fair. He has con-
sulted with'certain members of the local
directory, however, and expressed a will-
ingness, if the directors so desire, to select
for future concerts only such artists as
are willing to use instruments manufact-
ured by exhibitors, provided he is retained
at the head of the bureau. N o formal ac;
tion has been taken by the directors, but
the sentiment among them seems to be in
favor not only of retaining Mr. Thomas,
but of leaving him entirely free to arrange
the program as he chooses.

The majority of the members of the na-
tional commission want Thomas to go,
while the local board say he shall stay.
The sixteen members of the board of re-
gents w111 attempt to decide between the
two boards. ‘

One of Mr. Thomas’ friends said that
the musical conductor was inclined to
withdraw from the exposition and have no
more to do with it, but acting on the rep-
resentations of friends that the national
commission will cease to be a factor in the
management of the fair he has decided to
permit his conduct to be the subject of a
"earching investigation, and, after the

oard of reference has made known its de-
cision, he will give out a statement defin-
ing his position and defending it.

Mr. Thomas did not appear at the fair

yesterday. He is said. to be suffering with'

"nervous prostration as a result of the
Worry over the row.

Jealousy and personal emnity among
some of the women prominent in the
World’s congress in session in the Art in—
stitute threatened for a time to disrupt
the organization. . An amicable settlement
was reached after some maneuvering, but
it leaves Mrs. Helen M. Gougar and May
Wright Sewall in the light of personal
enemies. The trouble arose over an order
reported to have been made by the com-
mittee in charge of the congress directing
that Mrs. Gougar be barred from partici-
pation in the general congresses and sub—
ordinate conferences.

The attitude of the restaurant keepers
on the World’s fair grounds in excessive
charging on the first few days of the fair
has had its effect in inducing visitors to
bring their lunches, and at meal time lit-
tle “basket picnics” may be seen all over
the grounds. . ' ~

Telegrams and letters opposing Sunday
Opening are being hourly received from
the various Presbyterian assemblies now
in session and from other religious bodies.
A dispatch from Boston announces the
hdoption by' a Presbyterian church of a
message to President Cleveland urging

m to prevent Sunday opening with
troops if necessary. A dispatch addressed
to “the guardians of the Liberty bell,”
Lrom Wilbur F. Crafts, chairman of the

ational Sabbath closing committee, urges
the withdrawal of the relic ”in case the
directors persist in rebellion against the
Sabbath closing law.”

WELCOMED BY PREMIER GRESHAM

Government Troops Acted as Escort to

; Princess Eulnlie as She Bode in the
President’s Carriage to Her Hotel—An
Enthusiastic, Greeting. V

WASHINGTON, May 20,—Before the In-
fants. Eulalie's special train started from
Jersey City yesterday afternoon a. crowd
of several hundred people had gathered,
more particularly about the private car"
“Wildwood,” which was set apart for the
exclusive use of the young princess and her
immediate suite. As she alighted from her
carriage and faced the crowd that gazed
in respectful silence upon the party she be-
trayed the first sign of timidity, and for a
second clung to the arm of her escort,
Commander Davis. So far as her habit
was concerned She might have passed for
a typical young American matron. She

Was robed in a pretty light gray silk, with'

ruffled sleeves, and music in a degree of
fullness in the skirt jus ”re leastbit sug-
gestive for crinoline. llu “ :licre'was a hint
of the Spanish leaning toward rich color
effects in the small turban shaped grey
cap heavily trimmed with black -lace_ and
pronounced red and green feat-hers. ,
Just a murmur of approbation by the
crowd swelled into a genuine American
cheeras the infants. stepped lightly upon the
rear platform of the “\Vildwood” and gave
a bright smile and bow of acknowledge-
ment. As the train rolled away, the visi-
tors turned their attention to its appoint-
ments. The luxury of modern American
railroad travel was all unknown to them
and they were not backward in admitting
the pleasure and novelty of the trip.
Added to the comfort of the interior ar-
rangements was the beauty of the land-
scape along the banks of the “Delaware
and the Susquehanna and the many pretty
suburban homes nestling in a wealth of
fresh green foliage on an ideal spring day,
So that the princess finally remarked, with
a sigh of pleasure, that she .wondered
whether Europe did not look small and
unprofitable to the people who lived in
this great country. An elaborate dinner

was served on the train after leaving Bal-_
timers and so the time consumed in the

run to Washington passed quickly and
pleasantly. . ,

The royal train arrived in Washington
at 8:20 o’clock last night. An immense
crowd of people-gathered in thervicinity of
the Pennsylvania railroad station more
than an hour before the train arrived. The
attaches of the Spanish legation were

, there as early as 7 o’clock.

Five . minutes later there was a stir
among the rapidly gathering throng and a
faint cheer as four troops of United States
cavalry under Colonel Henry, from Fort
Myer, across the Potomac in Virginia,rode
up and formed in along line on the Sixth
street side of the station. They wore
fatigue uniforms. . ,

~ Secretary Gresham and Assistant Secre-
tary Quincy came shortly after the arrival
of the cavalry, in Mr. Gresham’s carriage,
followed almost immediately by a hand-
some barouche drawn by four magnificent
bay horses. It was President Cleveland’s
carriage, and the president’s coachman
with a brand new footman were on the
box. The carriage was empty.

Other officials began to arrive. Colonel
John M. \Vilson, of the army, the commis-

. sioner of public buildings and grounds,

wore full dress uniform in his capacity
as the military representative of the presi4
dent. Assistant Secretary Adee and Chief
Clerk Rockhill, of the state department,
were also in attendance.

The special train steamed into the sta-
tion exactly on time. The princess was
the first to alight; She was assisted, from
the train by Commander Davis. The
Spanish ininister,Senor Mumaga, was just
behind the princess, but before he eould
alight Secretary Gresham pressed forward;
and Commander Davis presented him to
the infanta as the representative of the
president. ,

The princess and Secretary Gresham
at once greeted each other pleasantly,
and thenpther members of the receiving
party gathered about them. When the
infants. saw Mrs. Curry, the wife of our
ex-minister to Spa‘in, there was a, pretty
scene. The two hadknOWn each other in-
timately in Madrid, and the recognition
was followed by a warm hand clasp.
Mrs. Curry imprinted a kiss on each cheek
of the princess.

The greetings over, Secretary Gresham
oflfered his arm to the princess and pre-
ceded by Colonel Wilson‘and Mr. R. A.
Parke, general southern passenger agent
of the Pennsylvania railroad, followed- by
the infanta’s suite and the others of the
official gathering, they walked down the-
carpeted platform to the carriage entrance
of the station. Outside the crowd was
something enormous, and the princess,
looked pleased as she saw the throng that,
had gathered to receive her. She chatted
gaily inEnglish with Mr. Gresham all the
while. ‘ > _ ,

. Th infants, Secretary Gresham, Min~
ster i urnaga and Prince Antoine entered
the president’s carriage, the cavalrymen-

saluted, and the procession began to move ,

u'p Pennsylvania avenue tovVards the Ar-
lington. Four buglers on horseback led,
and with the four troops of cavalry
formed the escort of the royal party. ,"Six
sergeants of cavalry acted as body guard

to the princess, andfollowing her carriage, ..

either side from the Sixth street station to
the treasury department and to the Ar-

to salutions from the crowd, Secretary
Gresham lifted his hat‘ and the princess
graciously bowed. .-
The apartments occupied by the princess
and her suite at the Arlington are historic.
‘ hough annexed to the hotel they form a
eparate house. It was the old residence
15 Charles Sumner, and is buta stone’s
.hrow distant from the White House. The
.‘0yal apartments contain seven sleeping
poms, three parlors and a private dining
oom, with four bedrooms in an upper
floor for the use of servant-s.
A large bunch of sweet peas stood on a
table in the parlor, from Mrs. Curry;
other floral gifts were around, but the
’ hief among them rested upon the table
'n the princess’ private drawing room on
the second floor. It was a tribute from
1. rs. Cleveland and consisted of a huge
basket of American beauties, orchids and
ilies of the valley. . _'

avenue and came. up to the hotel. The
cavalry moved quickly up the broad ave-
nue and wheeled into line. coming toa
dress parade. Immediately behind came
the president’s four in hand. The princess
alighted upon the arm of Mr. Gresham
and followed by her husband, the prince,-
and the Spanish minister, entered the
Sumner annex. The streets were thronged
with people and a loud cheer went up as
the princess stepped to the pavement, while
Ivery head was uncovered. .

Immediately upon entering the house
the princess passed into the reception
room, accompanied by Secretary Gresham
and Secretaries Adee and Quincy and her
suite. A moment later and the represent-
atives of the government retired, and
CommanderDavis bade the party good
night. All preparations had been made to
serve dinner, but owing to the fact that
dinner was had on the train the beautiful
private dining room was not used, and the
princess soon retired to her own rooms.

It has been learned that the change in
the original program in regard to the
transfer of the princess at Quarantine from
the Christiana to the Infants. Isabel, in-
stead of the Dolphin, was made in view of
the expressed wish of the infanta, who de
sired that the ceremonies attending the
introduction of the president’s envoy -.
might take place ona Spanish government '
vessel.’ After the formality of welcoming
the princess by Commander Davis in the
name of the president had been gone
through her royal highness announced
with regret that she had felt obliged to
decline the offer to board the Dolphin at
the entrance of the harbor in view Of in-
structions by her government to enter New
York harbor on a Spanish 'man of war.
However, when Commander Davis invited
her to luncheon aboard the Dolphin at the
end of the voyage the princess accepted
- the invitation cordially.

This morning the infants. paid her re-
spects to President and Mes. Cleveland,

DEATH OF Mugs E. MURDOCH.

The Once Famous Actor Succumbs After
Two Years' Illness.

CINCINNATI, May 20,—James E. Mur-
doch, the once famous actor, died yester—
day, aged 83. Fortwo years he has been
ill from a Complication of diseases. He
[leaves two daughters, Fanny and Ida.

Mr. Murdoch was born in Philadelphia,
Jan. 25, 1811. He? made his ‘1 rst appear-
ance on the stage in 1829, and continued
on- the stage until in the middle of the civil
war, making, however, occasional appear-
ances in character after the war ended.
He served for a. time on the staff of Gen-
eral Rosseau in Kentucky, and left that
position to make a tour through the coun-
try, giving readings for the benefit ‘of the
sanitary commission.

He was also a- frequent visitor to the
camps and hospitals, where he gave enter-
tainments to the boys. He was one of the ~
most intense Unionists of his time, and by
voice and pen was a great aid to the na-
tional cause. _

As an actor, he was one of the best who
ever lived in this country. As a comedian,
it is doubtful if he ever had his equal on
this side of the Atlantic. He was a fine
tragic actor also, his “Hamlet” being es
pecially good.
