The Magnificent Structure Which Is to Be an Asylum for Aged and Infirm Print- ers Sprung from a Gift of 85,000 Each by Messrs. Childs and Drexel. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, May 15‘.— Twenty thousand men and women, repre- senting the union printers and the news- paper writers of more than half of the com- monwealth of the Union as well as all the diversified business interests of the Centen- nial State, participated in the exercises that dedicated the magnificent Childs-Drexel asylum to the aged and infirm of the typo- Booming of cannon welcomed the dawn, and the sun peeped down upon a city decorated so lavishly that it was like a glimpse of fairyland. The event of the day was preceded by a parade, which formed on Pike’s Peak ave- nue in two divisions, with Colonel L. C. Dana as chief marshal. In the first divi- sion were the typographical'unions of Don- ver, Pueblo, Creede, Leadville and Colorado Springs, headed by ~ the Cowboy band, of Pueblo, and the carpenters, stone- cutters, painters, plumbers and oth- er trades unions. In the second divi- sion the Chaffee ‘ Light artillery act- _, / ed as escort to Mr. ‘1 and Mrs. Childs and party, and the state and county ‘ . , oficials, with the GEORGE w. CHILDS. viciting delegates Of the National Editorial association and the women members of the Typographical union, were also in line. Upon the arrival at the Rio Grande depot Of Governor Routt, escorted by Company A, national guard, the order was given for the head of the line to move. The sidewalks from the Antlers hotel to the foot of the hill were crowded, and the philanthropic publisher from the Quaker City received an ovation from block to block. ' Prayer by Rev. Dr. James B. Gregg inau- gurated the formal exercises which took placd in the open air in front of the home. Addresses of welcome were delivered in be- half of the state by Governor John L. Routt, in behalf Of the citizens by Mayor Ira G. Sprague, and for the business com- munity of Colorado by Hon. H. G. Lunt, president of the chamber of commerce. The letter said, addressing Mr. Childs: We esteem it an honor to welcome you to the consummation of this noble charity upon the birthday of one whose generosity knows no race or country. We welcome you, not to a passing pleasure, but to the foundation of a charity whose beneficial, fan-caching results cannot be adequately foretold. The Childs- Drexel Home for Union Printers is no local undertaking, confined to anarrow section or favored few, but it is as broad as the spirit of the Nineteenth century, and marks an epoch of generous devotion and true nobility. At the gateway to our mountains it will stand, a splendid monument to generosity and slice- tionate consideration for the unfortunate. Childs Receives an Ovation. When Mr. Childs arose to reply the en- thusiasm of the assemblage reached a cli- max. The immenQ gathering got upon its feet and cheered and shouted. and yelled until the din was deafening. When the men had gotten through the women had their turn, and while their voices rent the air they waved handkerchiefs and flags and 'badges galore. Visibly affected by the warmth and sincerity of the greeting, Mr. Childs, in low and trembling tones, made his first speech since his departure from the Quaker City. He said: . I am not unnaturally embarrassed in address- ing a company of such a. distinguished and di versified representative character. I can ex- press the deep sense of my appreciation of the honor such a reception confers upon me. I am profoundly impressed by the generous welcome of the chief magistrate of this young, wealthy and vigorous commonwealth. of the chief mag- istrate of this affluent, beautiful city, and of the president of your chamber of commerce, who have put aside the grave affairs of state and municipality and the erections of business to give greeting to us who have come froma long distance to assist in the dedication of this home. It was forty-one years ago that the Interna- tionalfl‘ypographical union was established by and for the members of that honorable craft whose intelligent minds and skillful hands have disseminated human thoughts throughout the world. [Shouts of “Good!”] The printers’ unions have not only spread the light of educa- tion and religion over this vast continent; they have given to labor a higher dignity, broader independence and all those qualities which From boyhood I have been more or less intimately associated with the members of the printers” craft, and knowing it so long and well, I have naturally sympathized with it [cries of "You have!.“], and what little I have been able to do to ex- press my respect, admiration and affection for it has honored me more in the doing of it than the craft in the reception of it. ,. It is not the printers who owe me gratitude '[applause], the indebtedness is mine. I regret that my dear friend and associate, Mr. Drexel, is not here today in person to share with me the friendly warmth of your generous greet- ing. For'him, who is here in spirit with me, whose sympathy for all that is good and noble is so great, as well as for myself, I heartily, , A‘s—A Chg ‘ earnestly thank you. It is not our deserving, but your generosity which has made your wel- come so impressive and grateful. A Model of Perfection. There was a renewal of the previous scenes of enthusiasm as the speaker con- cluded. Then after brief remarks from Vice President McKenna, of the Interna- tional Typographical union, and the read- ing of the poem composed by Eugene Mundy, the printer poet of Philadelphia, United States Senator J. H. Gallinger, of New Hampshire, who was. greeted with prolonged applause, was presented _to de- liver the oration of the day. Senator Gal- linger, in the course of his remarks, re- viewed the history of printing and the in- fluence of the trade upon civilization. He paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Childs’ gener' osity and concluded by saying:. Today we dedicate this structure to the principles of fraternity and goOd fellowship; to the great work of benevolence and charity; tothe high and heaven born doctrine of the golden rule and the blessed teachingséf him who sufiered and died for his fellowmen. May heaven‘s choicest blessings rest upon its found‘ ers, its ofilcers and its inmates, and may t home so auspiciously opened today, take de- ' servedly high rank among the great oleemos- ynary institutions of this great nation. Brief remarks followed from W. S. Cap- peller, of Mansfield, 0., president of the Na- tional Editorial association, several hundred members of which organization were massed . around the speakers’ stand, and with the pronouncmg of the benediction the exercises came to an end. My. Childs expressed the 0 union that so far as'he was-able to judge t. 9 structure, extm'uul‘l ’and internally fit- tings, furnishiu Is and ail) were as near .per‘ fiction as cant be expected from mortal an.

OrrAwA, May 13,—The governor general has transmitted to parliament all the recent correspondence respecting the dispute now existing between Canada and. Newfound- land. It shows that the colony refuses to enter into negotiations with Canada until theDominion government withdraws its opposition to the ratification of the reci4 procity recently negotiated between New- foundland and the United States. The con‘ Vention, it will be remembered, has been reserved from the royal assent by the im‘ perial government at the request of the which possesses greater influence in London than the sister ' colonies. The correspondence contains an acrimo- nious letter from the Newfoundland gov- ernment to Lord Knutsford, secretary of the imperial colonial ofiice. In it Hon. Mr. Harvey, the Newfoundland representative, asserts the right of theisland as a self gov- erning colony, to negotiate a treaty with- out regard to Canadian interests. He de« clares that Canada, in 1871, made her own arrangements,without regard to Newfound« land’s interests, and if the Dominion pos- sessed power then, he asks, why should not Newfoundland, as a sister colony, possess the same.authority also? He says that the failure of her majesty to ratify the treaty negotiated by Hon. Mr. Bond, of Newfoundland, with Secretary Blaine has greatly injured the trade pros- pects of the colony. The correspondence in conclusion shows that United States fish. ermen this season will be given free license in Newfoundland ports, the‘same privilege being denied the Canadian fishermen. Indians Driving Out the Settlers. GUrnRIE, O. T., May 13.-\Governor Sony has receiVed dispatches from the Cheyenne and ArapahOe reservation stating that 100 Cheyenne Indians were off their allot- ments and had driven a number of people out of the county. These Indians claim that they never signed the treaty for the sale of their lands, and that the whites must get out of the country inside of ten days or be driven out. Serious trouble will surely ensue. Conscience Money for Uncle Sam. WASHINGTON, May 13.——Postmaster Gen- eral Wanamaker has received an unsigned and undated letter containing $1,000.

No man has suflered more for his crime than I have, and I now pray the Lord’s for- giveness for my sin.” Thirteen Boats Sunk.

The House, After a Stormy Debate, Adopt: a Resolution to Investigate the Pri- vate Detective Business—The Cen- sus Bureau Investigation Begun. WASHINGTON, May 13.-In the senate Mr. Dawes introduced a. joint resolution direct- ing the president to’proclaim a. general holi- . day commemorating the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America on Oct. 12, 1892. The joint resolution is as follows: . Whereas, The 12th of October, 1892. will be recognized as the 400th anniversary of the opening of this New World by Columbus, as the crowning demonstration of a scientific theory to an ignorant age, and which opened the way to the further discoveries, enlightenment and progress which have subsequently transformed the world, and Whereas, The faithful following on this con- tinent of the course of free enlightenment, opened by the great discovery, has resulted in the making of a new nation, distinguish' ed as the home of intelligence, prosperity, liberty and happiness. and Whereas, It is fit and appropriate not only to signalizn this great anniversary of the dedica- tion Of 3116 grounds of the Wei ld‘s Columblan exposition, for which congress has already made prOvlsion, but also to set apart the occa- sion still more effectually to remind all the people of this republic of the benefits they on- joy under our institutions of enlightenment and liberty; therefore be it Resolved, By the senate and house of repre- sentatives in cdngress assembled, that the president of the United States be authorized (1 directed to issue a proclamation recom- ending to the people the observance, lnall their localities. of this 400th anniversary of the discovery of America, by public demonstra- tions and by suitable exercises in‘ their schools and other places of assembly, which may in- pl‘hss them snow with the intelletual, moral and social developments made possible by the act of Columbus. The resolution was referred to the com. mittee on quadro-centennial. To Make Cuba 3 Republic. Mr. Hiscock (New York) oflered a bill, which was referred to the committee on commerce, making similar provisions to those accorded the steamships City of New York and City of Paris, for granting an American registry to the steamship China, “a foreign built steamship now engaged in freight and passenger business on the Pa.- cific Mail line, having a tonnage of about 5,000 tons,” provided that it shall be shown that 90 per cent. of the shares of the foreign corporation owning said steamship were on the let of January, 1890, and have since remained the property of citizens of the United States; provided, further, that the company shall contract to build a vessel of equal tonnage in an American shipyard. Mr. Gall introduced a resolution author- izing the president to open negotiation with Spain for the purpose of inducing that vernment to consent to the establishment in the island of Cuba of a free and inde— pendent republic upon the payment to Spain by Cuba of a sum equal to the value of the public property and the surrender of sovereign rights in said island. Mr. Peffer, calling up pro forms the presi- dent’s bimetallic message, addressed the senate in favor of free coinage of silver. To Investigate the Pinker-tons. WASHINGTON, May 13.—In the house Mr. Oates (Dem), Alabama, made a privileged report from the committee on the judiciary submitting a. substitute for the resolution introduced by Mr. Watson, of Georgia, look- ing to an investigation of the Pinkerton force. The substitute authorizes the com- mittee to institute the investigation (lim- lted to a cost of $2, and to report by bill or' Otherwise, as may deemed necessary. Mr. Watson (People’s, Georgia) said he had introduced the resolution because he behaved the existence of such a. force as the Pinkertons was a. menace to good order and the welfare of society. It was a force that could be employed and had been employed by corporations to shoot down (as at Al- bany) inoffensive and innocent men, women and children. Before the'court investigating the Alba- ny incident the railroad authorities re- fused to answer what instructions had been given the Pinkertons when they were sent out with Winchesters. He said he was no more in favor of labor having a standing army than capitalists. He stood by the law and wanted these parties to do the same. . - Mr. Butler (Dem, Iowa) said there was plenty of authority for the appropriation of money to improve any creek in the United States. There certame was as much, or should be, to investigate ofienses against the lives and liberties of the people, Mr. Taylor (Rep, Ohio) asked Mr. Butler if in his opinion the lynchings of negroes in the south was such an offense against lives and liberties of the people as should be in- vestigated by congress? This friend on his right (Mr. Cheatham, Rep,, North Carolina.) had a resolution for an investigation in that direction, and he (Taylor) had told him that - that was a matter for the state. #— The question precipitated quite a noisy time, many members being on their feet to answer Mr. Taylor. None of them could be distinguished, and the uproar was ended by putting the qu'stion on the resolution. It was agreed to without a division. After receiving a number of committee reports the house went into ’committee of the whole, Mr. Lester (Dem, Georgia,) in the chair, on the sundry civil bill. 0n Mr. Holman’s motion the house struc out of the sundry civil bill the clause a propriating $800,000 for the Philadelphia mint.
