' \VASIIINOTON, 'Sept. 6. —The president of - the United States gave graceful welcome to the Pan- American medical congress, " whose foui day s’ sesslon commenced in the ; ' national capital today, and the business of the gathering w as entered upon under the most favOrable conditions of weather, at- tendance and public interest. The par quet of Albaugh’s Opera House, where the cOngrcss met, was w ell filled, and the galleries also had an attentive audience, including many ladies, at 10 a. m. ., when Dr. William Pepper of Philadelphia took the chain” The band of ‘ the Third artillery occupied the usual place of the stage orches- tra and enlivened the preliminary proceed; ings with familiar airs. -Daylight was let in upon the theater, which was devoid of all attempts at decoration and looked as - garish and uncomfortable as theaters al- ways do by daylight. Many Of the more prominent delegates took seats on the stage, but others occu-_ pied the body of the theater There were probably between 800 and 1, 000 doctors in attendance Shortly after 10 a. in. President Cleve- land passed from behind the scenes in front of the stage escorted by Dr. Pepper and was greeted with hearty applause. He wore, as usual, 3. black Prince Albert coat tightly buttoned over a figure displaying no undue tendency to corpulence. The president walked with a film step, his face wore a pleasant “Susi? and when he subse- PRESIDENT DR. WILLIAM PEPPER. quently spoke his voice was even clearer and more resonant than when he addressed the assembled thousands from the eastern portico of the capital in the memorable snowstorm Of the 4th of March last. Mr. Cleveland’s personal appearance was ob— served with undisguised interest, many of , the foreign delegates in the body of the theater standing up to get a good look at him. The band, as usual, played “Hail to the Chief” while the president took his seat. ' Then Dr. Pepper called upon Bishop Paret of Maryland to invoke the blessing of Almighty God upon the conference. Dr Pepper then said. It is in acccidance )1 1|? the deep interest taken by the government Of the U nitcd States in the organization and success of this con- gross that our honored president has kindly come this morning, in the exercise of his func- tion, to open formally the first Pan-American medical congress. I have the great honor of presenting President Cleveland. President Cleveland's Remarks. At once stepping forward and without waiting for the applause which greeted him to. subside, the president, speaking without manuscript or notes, said: The part assigned me on this occasion admits of few words. It, how ever, affords me the op- portunity to say how pleased I am to be' 1n any way related to an assemblage such as this. called together in furtherance of the highest and noblest purposes and desires. I hope I may also be permitted to add that the protection of the public health and the prevention of cone tagious diseases are objects properly brought under consideration at the capital of a nation which appreciates fully the serious importance of everything which aids in making intercourse between civilized countries and commerce bee tween them safe and easy. It is also fitting that those who devote them- \ selves to saving human life and the alleviation of human suffering should consider the modes of reaching these beneficent ends at the seat of a government whose greatest regard is the wel- fare and happiness of the individual citizen. It only remains for me to declare this congress of the Pan-American Medical society open for the transaction of the business which has called it together. . President Cleveland then resumed his seat amid applause, when the discussion of the best methods for sanitation and the prevention of the spread of epidemic dis- eases was taken up. A Noted Composer Dead. BALTIMORE, Sept. 6.—Adam Itzel, J r., the talented musician and composer of sev- eral operas, among them “Tar and Tartar,” died this morning of consumption.

An Imposing Parade, With Representa- tires From' Nearly Every State In the 1111-. ion—The Marching order—Beautiful Weather and: Great Enthusiasm. . INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 6..-The stronghold of Hoosierdom has capitulated before the onslaught of the boys who wore the blue, and with flying flags and keeping step to the valleys and over mountains three _‘de- om; ago, the veterans marched today like a victoiibus army up and down the primal: pal streets, amid the plaudits Of a multi- tude of enthusiastic spectators. I;- A discharge of artillery from Camp morning and gave the signal to citizens and visitors to prepare themselves for the ever, the signalzwas hardly necessary, for all night long"the‘lprincipal streets were filled with belatedarrivals, the majority of whom preferred to make a night of it rather than to- seek accommodations for the intervening hours before the dawn.‘ Many found resting places in the rotunda: of the hotels and about the capitol build- ing, while others made resting places in the hallways and outside steps of the build- ings about the depots. After midnight a large number of over? due trains, some of them six hours ormore behind time, arrived within the city limits. As a result there was 8. blockade at the Union depot, and many of the visiting posts skirts and find the way to their headquar- ters under the friendly guidance of some well posted townsmcu. Immense Crdwds Present. No such crowds have ever before been seen in the capital. Naturally enough the Hoosier element predominates. The ma jority of the visitors brought with them their wives, children, mothers and swect~ hearts, and these, in their dresses of White plentifuliy adorned with bright colored badges or sashes of tricolored bunting, helpedto relieve the scene and to given picturesque air to the surroundings.‘ In the throngs Illinois was also well rep- resented, and so were Ohio, Wisconsin and neighboring states. Nearly everybod Wore a badge denoting the state he hail from, and in this way recognitions and re- unions of Old acquaintances were of fre- quent occurrence. Just as soon as the in- ner man had Men satisfied with a light meal the local and visiting posts began to form for the parade. The line of march was so arranged as to take in both the fashionable residence quarter and the business district, starting from Seventh apd Meridian andoontinuing sOuth to New York, thence to Pennsyl- vania, thence to Market, east to New Jer— sey, south to lVashington and west to Ten- nessee, a total distance of between three and four miles, the posts forming on the intersectional streets and falling into line in proper order as the column passed. Major General John R. Carnahan, who has gained fame by his magnificent com. mandership of the uniform rank 'of the Knights Of Pythias, was the chief marshal of the day, and he was surrounded by ex- . perienced assistants in the persons of Gené eral B. H. Buckle as chief of staff, EliP. Ritter, the Prohibition advocate, whose reputation is national as an adjutant gen- eral, and Charles E. Kahloas senior aid- de-camp. At half past 10, the designated him, the boom of a 50 pounder gave the signal that all was in readiness for the head. of the column to move. The boys from Illinois by virtue of senioritylhad the honor of right of line, following immediately after the chief marshal and his stafi. Following the Illinois division came the detachment from the Keystone State, and behind these a. large and creditable representation Of the~ veterans of Ohio. A Missing Face. , ', One once familiar face was missed in this division—that of the late ex—President Hayes, who for many years had nevar missed the opportunity of marching On foot with the Comrades of his home post. New York followed the Buckeyes, and what the boys from the Empire State lacked in numbers they. made up by their bearing and carriage and the brisk way in which they stepped to the music. The department of Wisconsin made a good showing both in point Of numbers and appearance, and the Massachusetts delegation came in for many loud cheers. Connecticut Was sandwiched in between New York and. Massachusetts, and after the latter the departments followed each other in this order: New Jersey, Maine, California, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Potomac, Virginia and North Carolina in one department, Maryland, Nebraska, Michigan, Iowa, Colorado and Wyoming combined, Kansas, Del— aware, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon, Washington and Alaska combined; Ar- kansas, New Mexico, Utah, Tennessee, Louisiana and MissiSSippi in one de art- ment; 'Florida, Montana, TeXas, I aho, Arizona, Alabama, North‘i Dakbta, Indian Territory, Georgia and Oklahoma. The rear of the column was brought up by the department of Indiana and comprised nearly one-half Of the entire number of Veterans in line. There were bands of music by the score, flags and banners too numerous to count. Indiana had promised at Washinan “to do itself proud” if it was given the na- tionul encampment, and it more than re- deemed thepledge today. Au Amioable Settlement Probable. ..
