Big Bull Fight Pulled Off Across
the Kiver.
El Faso. Tex., May 6. The presiden
tial party reached Kl Paso, the gateway
to Mexico, at 9 o'clock Sunday morning-.
President Diaz, of Mexico, had hoped to
meet the president here and shake hands
with him across the border, but as the
Mexican congress is in session, he could
not leave the capital. He sent a person
al message to the president, however,
and also dispatched General Juan
Hernandez, commander of the second
military zone of the state of ChihuaJiua
personally to present his good wishes to
the chief magistrate of the United
States. Governor Miguel Ahumada, of
Chihuahua, the most northerly state of
Mexico, also traveled to El Paso to pay
his respects, and these distinguished
Mexican officials, accompanied by Gen.
Hernandez's staff in full uniform, were
received by the president in his car at
the station. After exchanging felicita
tions the president requested General
Hernandez to convey to President Diaz
his personal good wishes for the health
and happiness of President Diaz, and
for a continuation of the cordial rela
tions at present existing between the
two countries. President Diaz's message
was as. follows:
City of Mexico, May 5, 1901.
To the President of the United States of
America, El Paso, Tex.
When you arrive this day at the
frontier of Mexico, I wish I might shake
hands with you, but I send you as cor
dial a salute as corresponds with the
cordial relations which exist between the
two republics of North America. I also
send General He nandez to express to
you the same feeling.
PORFIRIO DIAZ.
To this the president sent the following
response:
El Paso, Tex., May 5, 1901.
To His Exeel'ency, General Porifirio
Diaz, President of the Republic of
Mexico. City of Mexico, Mex.
It gives me great pleasure to recipro
cate the courteous greeting of your ex
cellency and to express my most cordial
good wishes for your good health and
happiness and for the continued prosper
ity of the Mexican republic, to which we
are bound by so many ties of mutual
Interest and friendship.
WILLIAM M'KIXLEY.
It being Sunday, the president had re
quested the local committee here not to
arrange any programme for the day.
His wishes were respected and the mili
tary parade and official exercises were
postponed until today. The president
and Mrs. McKinley and the members of
the cabinet attended the Stanton Street
Methodist church in the morning and in
1 he af t rnoon some of the party went out
for a drive. After dark the Mexican
band, which had been brought from the
City of Mexico by Gen. Hernandez ser
enaded the president and Mrs. McTCin-
ley at the train. No horns or drums were
used and the soft, langorous Spanish
airs strummed on guitars and mandolins
in the cool of evening were thoroughly
enjoyed.
While it was a comparatively quiet
day In El Paso, notwithstanding the
large number of strangers in town, it
.-was otherwise in the Mexican city of
Juraez, Just across the Rio Grande. May
6 is the anniversary of the defeat of the
French Invaders at Pueblo and is cele
brated as our Fourth of July Is In the
United States. The Mexicans are not
Puritanical in their observance of the
Sabbath. Indeed, Sunday is always a
fete day with them. The great feature
of the celebration was a Spanish bull
ifight. A famous matador had come to
Juarez from the City of Mexico for the
occasion. None of the members of the
president's immediate party attended
but bull fighting is the national sport in
Mexico, as in Spain, and General Hern
andez and the governor of Chihuahua
occupied a box overlooking the ring. The
fight proved to be more than usually
bloody and brutal. The net casualties
mere four bulls dispatched, one horse
killed, two picadors unhorsed and one
toreador severely.but not fatally.woun I
ed. as he was helped over the fence sur
rounding the arena by a maddened bull
SPEECH AT THE ALAMO.
During the reception tendered the
president in front of the Alamo, at San
Antonio, Mr. McKinley spoke as fol
lows: "Mr. Mayor, Governor Savers, my
CFeliow Citizens I wish I had the voice
and the speech to respond in fitting
words to the gracious- welcome, the
more than gracious welcome, given me
by your honored mayor, speaking for
Sou, in your behalf. I am glad to be in
this historic city, on this historic spot,
and receive from you the greeting and
the good will which you all' feel toward
this great republic and toward the office
which for a little while, by your suf
frages. I am permitted to fill. An
plouse.) "Here ar centuries of heroic -nemo-ries.
The Texas people have a historv
of which they can well be proud, but
In the glory of which all Americans and
lovers of liberty the world over want
to share." (Applause.)
While engines were being changed
nere the president addressed several
hundred persons. He referred in his
two-minute speech to the wool interest
of the region, and an old man In the
crowd called out:
"We don't get enough for our wool."
The president provoked laughter by
replying:
"I wish it were In my power to mak
the price higher for the people who Sfll
It and lower for the people who buy it."

KANSAS FKUIT PItOSPECTS.
Secretary Barnes Thinks They Are
Very Good.
Secretary William H. Barnes, of the
State Horticultural society, has issued
the following bulletin on Kansas fruit
conditions, estimates being based on
present conditions:
Forty-seven counties have sent in 53
reports, as follows: Apples, 42 report a
full crop. 4 a seven-eighths crop, 8 a
three-fourths crop, 1 a half crop.
Pears. 3 report a full crop, 3 a seven
eighths crop, 3 a three-fourths crop, 6
a half crop, 1 a one-fourth crop, 1 a
one-tenth crop. Peaches, 40 report a
full crop, 3 a three-eighths crop, 6 a
three-fourths crop. 3 a half crop, 3 a
one-fourth crop. Plums, 40 report a full
crop, 4 a seven-eighths crop, 6 a three
fourths crop, 1 a half crop. Cherries, 52
report full crop. 4 a seven-eighths crop,
1 a three-fourths crop, 1 a one-fourth
crop. Apricots, 48 report a full crop,
3 a seven-eighths crop, 5 a three-fourths
crop, 10 a half crop, 6 a one-fourth crop,
3 a one-tenth crop. Mulberries, 45 re
port a full crop, 2 a seven-eighths crop,
1 a half crop. Grapes. 36 report a full
crop, 4 a seven-eighths crop. 6 a three
fourths crop. Berries, 38 report a full
crip. 4 a seven-eighths crop, 5 a three
fourths crop. 1 a half crop.
It is rather early to estimate the
grape crop, especially in exposed loca
tions. Strawberries and blackberries
are reported as promising extraord
inary returns. Raspberries are some
what doubtful of more than one-fourth
of a crop. Tree planting seems to have
been vigorously prosecuted all over the
state this spring, and the desire for
more horticultural knowledge and for
the organization of local horticultural
societies is very great.
To Save Grant Cabin.
New- York, May 6. An appeal to save
the historic Grant cabin from destruc
tion is made by Mrs. Mary Grant
Cramer, one of the two living sisters of
General Grant. The cabin is in Fair
mount park. Philadelphia. Mrs. Cramer
recently visited the park and found the
cabin unprotected from vandals, who
had partly wrecked it in their quest for
souvenirs. The logs of the structure are
covered with initials and markings cut
by trespassers. An appeal has been
made to women of patriotic societies
to have the relic preserved and guard
ed. Mrs. Cramer lives at East Orange.

during his terms of service as United

Illse In Money Hates Had
Steadying Tendency.
New Tork, May 6. Speculation, in
stocks began the day with spirit and en
thusiasm that was quite equal to any
thing that has been witnessed on the
floor of the New Tork exchange in the
current movement. Seemingly the pub
lis was imbued with a suspicion that the
"powerful interests," who are credited
with the leadership of the market had
engineered the reaction of Friday and
Saturday -with, the purpose of shaking
out weak and encumbering holdings to
better prepare for a fresh advance. The
high prices of the railroad stocks sup
posed to be the subject of contest for the
control arid the resulting great expense
of the process of absorption gave plaus
ibility to the theory that the capitalists
looked upon the reaction with complac
ence. There was in addition, a rumor afloat,
which was an expansion of the recent
consolidation rumors to the effect that
all the contesting railroad interests had
come to a compromise, and were about
to consolidate practically the leading
railroad systems of the country. The
opening sales on the tapes showed 25,000
shares of United States steel, 15,000
Atchison. 10,000 of Union Pacific and be
tween 4,000 and 10,000 on a half dozen
other stocks. i
Opening prices varied as widely as 2
points for the same stock and the gains
over Saturday's prices were from 1 to
44 points. Northern Pacific which
quickly assumed the leadership of the
market went up easily on much lighter
transactions. A rise of 4 points in the
bid price at the opening brought out on
ly 500 scares of stock and the bid had to
be raised 2',-a before the next block of
1,500 shares came out. As the stock
soared to higher regions much heavier
offerings came out, but the stock held
obstinately near the top when the rest
of the market dipped under the flood of
realizing brought out on advance. North
ern Pacific rose 10 points during the first
hour, and 13 before noon. The subse
quent advance to above 125 was less vio
lent. Realizing was heavy all through the
market during the morning and none of
the leading stocks got back to the open
ing high level. The market became qui
eter as the Sunday's accumulation of
orders began to be worked off. The
sharp rise in the money rate also recall
ed some of last week's trepidation on
that score. The rise in Atchison to S8
and sharp gains in a number of less
prominent stocks did not altogether
overcome a dropping tendency.
The sensational advance of 23 points
in Northern Pacific kept the specula
tive interest alive, but the persistent
heaviness of the United States steel
stocks and the high water were coun
teracting influences. Only a few stocks
got back to the opening high level at
any time, but there were very wide ad
vances in a few unimportant stocks.
Atchison extended its rise to 6 and
Union Pacific to 4V2. Later in the day
Canadian Pacific rose 13, Pittsburg, C.
C. & St. Louis SVi: Minneapolis & St.
Louis 7, and the coalers generally from
2 to 5. The profit taking on this rise
pulled prices back considerably, North
ern Pacific reaching 6. Much of the ani
mation was taken from the market in
the latter part of the day.

President Resumes His Journey
Toward the Setting Sun.
El Paso, Tex., May 6. The American
and Mexican flags were intertwined in
the decorations of the plaza where the
official greeting of President McKinley
and his cabinet took place this morning.
The presence on the stand of General
Hernandez, representative of President
Diaz and the governor of the state of
Chihuahua, gave an interesting signifi
cance to the event. There were thou
sands of Mexicans in the vast concourse
of people to whom the president spoke
and their enthusiasm w as almost as wild
as that of the Americans.
General Hernandez addressed the
president on behalf of his president, ex
tending the letter's congratulations, and
President McKinley in his response paid
a high tribute to the president of the
Mexican republic and charged his emis
sary to convey to his chief his warm re
gards and personal esteem with his best
wishes for the continued prosperity of
our sister republic. The president's
speech was ery happy and was espec
ially notable on account of his injunction
to the people not to be alarmed about
imperialism.
There was, he said, no imperialism ex
cept the imperial power of the sovereign
people of the United States. The gov
ernor of Chihuahma also warmly wel
comed the president to the border. The
exercises in-the plaza were preceded by
a military parade. The ladies of the
cabinet crossed the Rio Grande to Juarez
where they were tendered a breakfast
by Jean Ochoa, a prominent Mexican
banker. Mrs. McKinley did not attend
the breakfast but enjoyed a short drive
during the morning. At noon the presi
dential party resumed its joruney west
ward. "Neglected colds make fat grave

New York. May 6. All that saved the
market Saturday was the absence of any
large quantities of large stop orders and
the fact that brokers have insisted, on
large margins and discouraged over spec
ulation. The w-hole rumpus struck me as
in the nature of a shake out and pur
