Special lo the Record-Uniox.
Txdio (CaU, April 22.—The Presiden
tial party entered the State of California
at Fort Yuma at 4:50 o'clock this morn
ing, and was presented with a large quan
tity of beautiful flowers and fruits. The
entire party was asleep at the time, so did
not see the Presentation Committee.
"When the Presidential party reached
Indio at 8:15 o'clock it was received by a
large and influential delegation, includ
ing Governor Markham and stall", ex-
Governor Perkins, Senator Felton, Judge
Van Fleet, of Sacramento, S. M. "White,
of Los Angeles, Colonel C. F. Crocker'
Vice-President of the Southern Pacific,
and Irwin C. Stump, Chairman of the
Republican Committee. Governor Mark
ham made an address of welcome, as fol
lows:
"3/r. President: As Governor of Cali
fornia, and in her name, and on behalf of
her people, I greet you ou the very
threshold of her territory, and bid you a
most hearty welcome to our State. This
I do in behalf of all her people, irrespec
tive of party affiliations; and, sir, as
proof of this, I shall soon take pleasure
In introducing to you the distinguished
representatives of both political parties,
who are with me, and who heartily join
in welcoming you as the Executive of
our great nation.
"Let me assure you that we fully appre
ciate the great elfort you have been
obliged to make in order to visit our
coast ; but I am confident that you and
your party will feel repaid when you see
the wonderful features so peculiar to our
State, and of which every Californian is
so justly proud, and of which so little is
known or correctly understood by the
people ofthe great Last.
"California, Mr. President, is an empire
of itself of seven hundred miles in length
and tliree hundred miles in width, thus
affording every gradation of climate and
almost every production of any country
under the sun, and, sir, permit me to say
that though we are hundreds of miles
from the National Capital, and separated
from the people ofthe Last and South by
what may seem endless plains and im
passable mountains, yet we are in close
sympathy with them in all national
atlairs, and are exceedingly proud of the
position we occupy in the great sister
hood of States over which you have been
called to preside. You will be convinced
of these facts, Mr. President, by the
cordiality with which you, as the repre
sentative ol* the whole country, will be
received in every portion ofthe State.
"1 think it but just to the immediate
portion of the State upon which you are
entering, to say that almost the whole of
the wonderful development which you
will witness is the work of the last de
cade. Ten years ago, with few excep
tions, what is termed Southern Califor
nia was but a desert, barren and uninvit
ing, but now a veritable garden, beauti
ful to behold and producing millions of
dollars annually, bidding fair in time to
control the markets of the world with
her products. Ten years ago Los Angeles
was but a back country village, with less
tlian 12,000 inhabitants, but now a city
with 80,000, with all the modern improve
ments f>r the comfort and convenience of
man. What is true of her progress Isslso
true of San Diego, San Bernardino and
many other places. Pursuing your jour
ney to the north, you will see* the beau
ties of Santa Barbara, the immensity of
the San Joaquin Valley, tho natural
granary of the world, developing like
magic into orchards and vineyards, and
so on to the magnificent city of Ban
Francisco, ami, Mr. President, when you
reach that great city 1 want you to re
member that all tin- evidence of prosper
ity you wUI see, ami they are countless,
are but evidences of the immense re
sources of this State, for that city has
been created, built and sustained out of
money flowing in from the sale of our
own products, which can be said of few
cities of her importance in tlie United
States.
"It has been arranged for you to sec the
central i>ortion ot the State fairly well,
and 1 need not dAvell on what is iii store
for you, as I do not believe such a
country exists outside of California. 1
regret that your visit is so arranged
that you Avill not see in detail the
northern counties, which 1 assure
you are of themselves worth a trip
across the continent. It is impossible to
describe them, and I Avill not attempt it.
In some of these counties lie millions and
millions of dollars in gold awaiting the
discovery of a process of development
Which Avill not injure other important in
ter, st-, and for which avc must be de
pendant noon the General Government.
1 am confident that did these mines lie in
either Lrance, England, Germany or
Russia, those Governments would"take
immediate steps to work them. 1 regret
exceedingly that the short time you a\ ill
stay among us Avill not permit you to see
th<- natural scenery for which our State is
so fatted, among which I need only men
tion tb,. wonderful Yosemite Valley, the
great redwood forests of the north and
the mighty mountains Avith their wealth
of beauty.
"Mr. President, before closing, I want
"fOU to take particular notice of our great
lack of national poblic improvements, of
our extensive shipping interests, our al
most endless coaat lines almost defense
less atui absolutely without harbors of
refuge, except st San Diego and sau
J' ran. a -.., cither of which could accom
modate the commerce of the Avorld, but
located nearly -Vki miles apart."
Its reply, the President said he would
n<>t undertake, while almost choked with
the dust of the plains he had just let! to
say all that he hoped to say in the A\av of
pleasant greetings to the citixens of Cali
lornia. Some time when he had been re
freshed by their olive oil and their vine
yards. _ c would endeavor to express his
gratification at being able to visit Calilor
nia. He had long desired to visit Cali
fornia, and it was the Objective point on
this trip. tie had seen the northern
coast ol PUget Sound, but had never
before been able to see California. He
remembered from boyhood the excite
ment of the discovery of gold,and had
always distantly followed California's
grov th and progress. The acquisition of
California was second only to that of
Louisiana and the control of the Missis
sippi river. It sound ns this great
coaat, wad made Impossible the owner
ship Ofa foreign power on any ofour coast
line. It has helped to perfect our mag
nificent isolation, which is our great pro
tection against foreign aggression.
He thanked the Governor and com
mittee for their kindly reception, and
assured them that it he should have any
complaint to make of his treatment in
Calilornia, it avouUl be because the peo
ple had been too hospitable.
THE RECORD-UNION.
Tlie President shook hands with sev
eral Indians, including Chief Cabason,
chief of the Indio tribe of Indians, who
is over 100 years of age. They presented
an address to the President, asking for
justice and assistance.
The ceremonies took place on the plat
form of the station, and were very inter
esting. The Governor and party left here
m company with the President at 8:50 a.
m. for Los Angeles.
AT COLTON.
Colton, April 22.—The run from Indio
to Colton was through a beautiful valley,
abounding with picturesque scenery, not
the least interesting of which were the
snow-capped peaks of the Grey Back and
San Jacinto Mountains,
The President was welcomed by a large
and enthusiastic crowd, nearly all of
whom passed up to the platform of the
train and shook hands with him.
The President was introduced by Gov
ernor Markham, and made a short pat
riotic address. He said:
"___• Fellow-Citizens: We have trav
eled now something more that 3,508 miles.
They have been .'5,500 miles of cordial
greeting from my fellow-citizens: they
liave been 3,500 miles of perpetual talk.
It would require a brain more fertile in
resources, more diversified in its opera
tions than the State of California in its
productions to say something original or
interesting at each one of these stopping
places, but 1 can say always with a warm
heart to my fellow -citizens who greet me
so cordially, who look to me out of such
kindly faces, tliat I thank you. lam
your servant in all things that will con
dace to the general prosperity and happi
ness of the American people. Remote
irom us of the far east in distance, we
are united to you not only by ties of com
mon citizenship, by the reverence and
honor we joyfully give to one Hag, but by
those interchanges of emigration which
have brought so many of the people of
older States to you.
"At every station where I have stopped
since entering California some Hoosier
has reached up his hand to greet me
[laughter and cheers], and the omnipres
ent Ohio man, of course, I have found
everywhere. I was assured by these
gentlemen that they were making their
full contributions to the development of
your country, and that they had pos
sessed themselves of their fair share of it.
I have been greatly pleased this morning
to come out of a land of desert and drift
ing sand and into this land of homes and
smiling women and bright children. I
have been glad to see these fertile fields,
and know that you are now, by economi
cal collections and the distribution of the
waters of the hills, making all these val
leys to smile liko the garden of Eden.
We do not come as spies to you, to look at
your land with any view of dispossessing
you, as the original spies went into Pales
tine; we come simply to exchange friend
ly greetings, and we shall hope to carry
away nothing that does not belong to us.
[Cheers.] It we shall leave your happy
and prosperoiis State freighted with your
good-will and love, as we shall leave ours
with you, we will be happy with the ex
change." [Cheers.]
Speeches were also mado by Secretary
Busk and Postmaster-General Waiia
maker.
The Mayor of Los Angeles and a com
mittee of citizens, including several
ladies, boarded the train at Colton and ac
companied the party to Los Angeles.
AT POMONA.
Pomona, April 22.—The Presidential
party reached here at 1 o'clock and
stopped twenty minutes. Only two hours"
notice of the stop had been given, but the
whole town turned out, and a special
train came in from Chino.
EL Z. Osborne introduced the Presi
dent, who spoke as follows :
"You will surely excuse me from ex
tended remarks. I have been subjected
to such strain that my brain needs irri
gation to put it in trim again. [Refer
ence to irrigation cheered.] lam glad to
look at the laces of American citizens.
No such people gather in any other coun
try as greet me at every station. They
come from good homes, the Safety of the
commonwealth. I am pleased to see
these children. Schools have everywhere
followed the Western pioneers. You
have New England education and homes.
More than that, you havo the New Eng
land idea of thrift—living on little and
having much over."
Postmaster-General Wanamaker and
Secretary Rusk also spoke. The speakers
were showered with roses and presented
with mammoth navel oranges.
AT LOS ANGELES.
Los Angeles, April 22.—At no place
A'isited by the President since his depart
ure from Washington Avas he accorded a
heartier or more hospitable welcome than
at Los Angeles, at which place his lloAver
laden car arrived at 3 o'clock this after
noon, promptly on schedule time. As
the train rolled into the station a national
salute was fired. The people cheered
lustily, and all bells and Avhistles joined
in the acclaim. The city Avas lavishly
decorated in honor of the distinguished
visitor. Every available noint of vantage
was covered Avith flo Avers, including the
carriage provided for the visitors. Calla
lilies seemed to be the favorite flo Aver,
and they Avere seen on every side.
The ceremonies opened *Avith a street
parade, in Avhich all the United States
troops, militia, Grand Army of the He
public Posts and civic organizations in
this vicinity participated. They escorted
the President and his i>arty through the
Streets, crowded with enthusiastic people.
Hundreds of children lined the sidewalks
at one point of tho route, and they show
ered tne President Avith flowers as his
carriage passed slowly by.
The parade ended" at the City Hall,
Where a covered platform had been
erected for the public ceremonies. This
platform looked like a tropical garden.
i m either side reaching to the roof was a
tapering fioral column with a base of
evergreens and calla lilies. Ling draper
ies were festooned from the center.
The addresses of Avelcome were made
by Governor Markham and Mayor Haz
ard, and the President responded. The
President spoke a folloAvs:
"J/// Fellow-Citizens: My stay among
you will not be long enough to form an
individual judgment of the quality of
your people, but it has been long enough
already to act a huge idea of tin1 number
of them. [Cheers.] 1 bog you to accept
my most sincere thanks for this magnifi
cent demonstration of your respect. I
do not at all assume that these huzzas
and tloAvers and streamers and banners
a\ ith which you have greeted me to-day
are a tribute tome individually. I re
ceive them as a most assuring demon
stration ofthe loveof the people of Cali
fornia for American institutions. [Great
and prolonged cheers, j
"And well are those institutions worthy
Of all honor. The Hag that you have dis
played to-day, th<> one Hay, the banner of
the i'ror and the symbol of the Indissolu
ble union of the States [great{cheering],
is worthy of the affections of onr people.
Men have died foi it on tiie held bi battle;
women have consecrated it with their
tears and prayers, as thoy placed the
standard in the hands of brave men going
to battle. It is historically full of tender
Interest and pride. It has a glorious
story on the sea in those times when the
American navy maintained our prestige
and successfully beat the navies of our
great antagonist [Great cheering.] it
has a promt record from the timo of our
great struggle for Independence down to
the last sad conflict between our own citi
zens. We bless God to-day and these
brave men who, working out Bis pur
poses on the field ef battle, made it again
the symbol of s united people. [Cheers.]
Our institutions, of which ibis ilay is the
emblem, are free institutions.
"These men and women into whose
fa.es I lo«>k are free men and free women.
l do not honor you by my presence here
ty-day. i hold my trust from you. and
yon honor me in this reception. [Groat
cheering.] This magnificent domain on the
l'aciiic Coast, seized for the l'nion by the
energy of courage and Avise forethought
of Ln mom and his as.sociat;-s, is essen
tial to our perfection. Nothing more im
portant in territorial extension, unless it
be the purchase of the territory of Louisi-

ana and the control of the Mississippi
River, has ever occurred in our national
history. [Great cheering.] We touch
two oceans, and on both we have built
commonwealths and great cities, and are
thus secured in that territorial individu
ality and isolation which gives us assur
ance of perpetual peace. [Cheers.]
"Xo great conflict of arms can ever take
place on American territory if we are
true to ourselves and have forever de
termined that no civil conflict shall again
rend our country. [Cheers.] We are a
peace-loving nation, and yet we cannot
be sure that everybody else will be
peaceful, and therefore I am glad that by
the general consent of our people, by the
liberal appropriations from Congress, we
are putting on the sea some vessels of the
best class afloat [cheers], and that we arc
now prepared to put upon their decks as
good guns as are made in the world, and
when we have completed our pro
gramme, ship by ship, we will put in
their forecastles as brave 'Jack Tars' as
serve under any flag. [Great cheering.]
The provident care of our Government
should be given to your sea-coast de
fenses, until all the great ports of tho
Atlantic aud Pacific are made safe.
[Cheers.]
"But, my countrymen, this audience
overmatches a voice that has been in ex
ercise from Roanoke, Virginia, to Los
Angeles. I beg you, therefore, again to
receive my most hearty thanks, and to
excuse me from further speech." [Great
ana prolonged cheering.]

Special to the Record-L~nion.
Cixctxxati,April 22.—The League Con
vention was late in convening and many
delegates were not in the hall when
President Thurston called the convention
to order. A big box of American tin
plate, forwarded by Congressman Xeid
ringlmus of St. Louis, was placed on the
stage and a lively scramble for possession
ofthe brilliant souvenirs followed.
Tho Secretary read a number of letters
received.
The reading was punctuated with fre
quent applause, bnt when a letter was
announced from the President of the
United States, the delegates cheered again
and again and finally they rose en masse,
waving handkerchiefs and papers and
cheering until the great hall reverberated
with tlie enthusiastic outburst.
President Harrison regretted his
Inability to be present and said : "The
conventions ofthe Republican party and
the legislation of the ust Congress have
very clearly defined and very courage
ously presented the issues upon which
the next contest must be waged. To these
convention declarations I gave my assent
of deep conviction and to the important
legislation of last Congress my earnest
support If the people of the United
States will now give the world to under
stand that protection and the enlarge
ment of our domestic industries and The
extension of our foreign trade by recipro
cal arrangements are not inconsistent
with the protective policy and the revival
of our merchant marine by methods that
all other nations use is our settled policy,
Aye will speedily, 1 am sure, realize a
marvelous development and renewed
prosperity."
Hon. J. S. Clarkson of lowa wrote:
"The party at large looks to this conven
tion to-day Avith eager interest. It will
set up the standard of victory for 1802;
it Avill be faithfully representative of the
wants ami ambitions of the people; it
will represent not merely statesmanship,
commerce and money, but also states
manship and humanity. These questions
are lyinc nearer the hearts of the Ameri
can people to-day than tho price ot a tin
cup, or Avhether the color of the money
of the realm shall be yellow or Avhite."
Among other letters read Avere those
from Senator John Sherman, Senator
Manderson, Secretary Foster and Will
iam M. Lvarts.
The Committee on Resolutions, through
Judge Webster of Nebraska, presented
a report. Tho resolutions honor the
memory of General Sherman, Admiral
Porter, and Secretary Windoin; indorse
the course of Speaker Beed; favor pro
tection and reciprocity; declare emphati
cally for a free ballot and fair count;
remember the claims of soldiers and de
clare the aim of the league to be the dis
semination ofthe principles and doctrines
of the Republican party as furnished by
the teachings of its greatest leaders. The
following clauses are in full:
"We indorse the wise, statesmanlike,
courageous and patriotic course of the
administration ot President Harrison.
Its conduct ot both domestic and foreign
affairs has been such as to command the
thorough respect and hearty administra
tion of every true citizen. * Its attitude
in dealing with alien residents, and giv
ing to them the protection accorded to
American "citizens, and no more, is just,
and should commend itself to the
civilized world.
"We oppose any attempt to debase the
currency and coin of the country, but in
sist upon such legitimate increase of our
circulating medium and such mainte
nance ofthe double standard as-will fairly
satisfy the increasing necessities of trade
and commerce.
"Loyal and intelligent Republicans
Avill not seek to destroy vested interests,
nor to cripple any legitimate enterprise,
but they demand that the best thought of
such legislation as will protect the people !
from the exactions of the usurer, from the •'
oppressions of monopolies, or from the '
extortionate demands of public carriers.
"Recent events have mado more appa
rent than ever the necessity for exercis
ing the sovereign right inherent in our
nation, as in all others, to use discrimina
tion in the admission of foreigners as res
idents in this country. We, therefore,
recommend such changes in our laAV as I
will effectually prohibit the immigration \
of paupers and criminals, of people so
alien from us in their ideas and habits ofl
thought that the cannot be assimilated in
the body politic.
"We recognize the Republican press of
the country as a great and indispensable
force in the advancement and promotion
of Republican principles, and commend
to every believer in Republicanism the
duty of lending his influence and efforts
to an extension of the benefits of this
pot-nt agency."
The first breeze was felt when a Wis
consin delegate, whose accent told that
he was of foreign birth, begged, on behalf
of many Republicans in the North-!
western States, that the proposed lan
guage restricting immigration bo ex
punged. He said the meaning of the Avords
might be all right, but they would be
distorted by the enemy with telling effect
on the foreign-born Republican vote of
the Northwest. They had had an expe
rience and wanted no more.
General Kuirohild of Wisconsin said
the delegates were all agreed on the point
in question. It was right to look after
immigration, but he begged tho conven
tion to listen to the warning of these
earnest men of the Northwest. They
knew what they were talking about.
A lengthy debate folloAved. Finally
Judge \"\ ebster moved to strike out all I
after the word "criminals." and this was
done and the resolution adopted.
The election of officers Avas then pro
ceeded with. Judge Powers placed John
S. Clarkson in nomination. Half a dozen |
delegates seconded the nomination. Sen- i
ator Matthews of Illinois presented the
name of W. W. Tracy, President of the
Illinois League, and one or tAvo delegates
seconded, but President Thurston left the
chair and made a brief and forcible speech,
which seemed to settle the matter, j
Tracy's name was withdrawn, and Clark- j
son received the unanimous A"ote in an j
enthusiastic manner.
Being now out of office, President
Thurston (named Tracy for President pro
tern. Ho was elected.
Secretary Humphrey and Treasurer
Lounsberry Avere re-elected.
IRON AND STEEL.
America Led the World in Last
Year's Production.
Pnti.APEErniA, April 22.—Tho annual
statistical report of the American Iron
and Steel Association says that in IX9O the
United States made tho best record in the
production of iron and steel that has ever
been made by any country. This is re
markable, in view of the fact that the
product of 1888 and ISS9 were both con
sidered phenomenal. For 1890 the pro
duction was as follows, in net tons : Pig
iron, including Spiegel, 10,307,028; Besse

Chilean Minister at Washington from 1870
to 1873, and from 1882 to 1885, is staying
here on his Avay to Berlin, where he has
been appointed Minister by President
Balmaeeda. Godoy left Chile at the end
Of February, and spent several weeks at
Buenos Ayres and Montevedio on a
special mission from Balmaeeda. He ar
rived at Plymouth last week.
Tho World?* correspondent called to
day on Godoy, Avho said: "I have no
special mission in Europe, Tho news
given by the Tunes is mere supposition. I
don't come to raise a loan nor purchase
ships. I Avill go to Berlin to assume tho
duties of my post within three days. You
may deny that; Ba I maceda is Avithout re
sources. The Chilean finances were in
order before tho revolt, and the budget
siiowed a surplus. Balmaeeda has a per
fect right to raise a loan, but he Avill not
use it, as it is not necessary that he
should do so."
The correspondent asked Godoy about
the tAvo ironclads which ha>-e been
built in France for Chile. As is Avell
known, the French Government does
tint prevent their starting, but it Aviii not
allow the engaging of sailors in France
and the bringing of the ships to Chilean
ports, and the British Government has
expressed the same determination.
Godoy answered that theso ironclads
Avill leave Europe within a lew days with
the crews which are to bring them to the
Brazilian port. Tho Chilean ereWß sent
by Balmaeeda will fetch them to Brazil
and finally to Chile.

RINFAX AND GERALDINE.
The Crack Sprinters Matched for a
Race.
San Francisco, April 22.—"A match
well made is a match half won" is the
style in which Porter Ashe sums up the
race he has made between his fast mare
Geraldine and Thomas Williams' three
year-old colt Biufax.
The match grew out of the talk that has
been going the rounds concerning the
relative merits of Bacino and Geraldine.
Ashe was willing to wager $1,000 that
Geraldine can beat the Palo Alto crack
over half a mile or five furlongs of
ground.
Williams was willing to match Bacine
against the mare for three-quarters of a
mile, but refused to make a match at half
a mile. Finally he offered to run the bay
against the mare at five furlouKs for
$2,000 a side.
Ashe, however, refused to make the
race for over $1,000 a corner, arguing that
he would be able to got better than even
money on the mare on tho track the day
of the race. The consequenco was that
j tho match fell through and then Wil
| liams oflered to race Binfax against
Ashe's mare thirteen-sixteenths of a mile
for $1,000 a side.
The owner of Geraldine was quick to
accept the proposition, and the race has
been made to come off at the Blood Horse
meeting on Thursday, April 30th, pro
vided that tho association add sufficient
money to the stakes and that the track is '
good. The articles of agreement provide j
that the judges shall decide as to tho con- |
dition of thu track.
It is moro than likeiy if Ashe wins Wili- I
iams will try to got even by arranging a
race with the maro and Bacine, It is to
be hoped that the two horses will come to
gether at the Blood Horse meeting, for
they are considered the highest class
racers on tho coast.
According to the scale of weights
adopted by the Blood Horse Assocititiou,
Bainfax will carry 102 pounds and Geral
dine 115. The latter has shown that weight
does not stop her, for iv her race for the
Toboggan Slide last spring sho carried 122
pounds and was beaten but by a nose, the
three-quarters being covered by Fides,
the winner, in 1:10.

CnoOi
Merced, April 22.—This morning, in
tho Olsen case, the prosecution announced
that they rested their case.

bribing said the defense wanted a full in

wonld see thai such would be done as
soon as tho witnesses arrived.
The defense then examined a number
of witnesses to try to discover the where- !
abouts ot certain exhibits used at the pre
liminary examination, but failed to dis
cover where they were or in whoso care
they were placed.

slept at his brother's ranch Wednesday
night previous to tho murder.
Tbe valise containing the hat and cloth
ing claimed to belong to Olsen was then

were the same ones worn by the defend
ant both the day before and the day after
the murder.
This afternoon the court took np tho '
matter of the alleged attempt at jury
bribery, which waa brought out yester
day. Bichard Beynolds, a respected j
farmer near Snelling", started the report. |
He was placed on the stand and swore
that he saw a man named William Cook I
take a seat near a juror, and saw his lips j
move as if speaking. The juror nodded '
as if saying yes. Cook then got up and j
left the court-room. Tho witness men
