The K< -.it Trial.
ROCHESTER, .V Y? May 14.? The
sensation of the Kent case was the ar
rival of the defendant's wife and sister
to contradict the testimony given in fa
vor of the people by the defendant's
sister-in-law. The last named, Mrs.
Traverse, swore that Kent in his visit
to bis home in Buffalo on the evening
of his departure for Rochester ran
sacked a bureau drawer and presuma
bly found his razor there, as that was
the place where he had always kept it.
Mrs. Kent and Mrs. Kent's brother
?wore that he did not touch the bureau
drawer and that Airs. Traverse was
not upstairs, as she had testified, but
downstairs playing cards. Mrs. Tra
verse was recalled and repented her
assertions. Kent had already testified
that he got his razor at his toirber's,
and the witnesses substantiated him.
The defendant and his^wiw" did not

With the Police.
SANTIAGO, Chile, May 14. ? The
ftrlke of dock laborers at Valparaiso is
ecoming more serious. The strikers
; liter setting Are to the quay as well as
. ? the offices of the South American
,s teamsliip company had a number of
encounters with the police, during
which twenty persons were killed aud
many were Injured.
A detachment of 3.000 troops has
baen dispatched to Valparaiso to quell
the disorder. The government has re
fused all offers to compromise the diffi
culties and is determined to adopt the
sternest measures to restore order.
Owing to the strong repressive meas
ures the outbreaks are becoming less
intense. Martial law still prevails.
The property damage is great. Sev
eral buildings were burned, and the
es planade was destroyed.
The Brazilian cruiser Barroso, with
tie members of the Brazilian commis
si >n on board, has arrived at Taleahu

the critical condition of affairs now ex
isting at Valparaiso it is thought that
the festivities witli which it was pro
posed to welcome the commissioners
will be much abridged.

Our Rapidly

Patronage
Is very encouraging.
In no other business, perhaps,
is it as necessary to have the
full confidence of the public,
as in the Jewelry and Optical
business. A merchant who
expects to succeed pernlanent
ty, cannot afford to misrepre
sent in a single instance.
Our long and prosperous
business career in South Am
boy, proves that we are alive
to these facts, and our fast
increasing trade in this city
shows that the people appre
ciate a first-class store, and
strictly honest methods.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.? Presi
dent Roosevelt left the Palace hotel es
corted by a squadron of cavalry. The
streets were lined with people, who
cheered as the president's carriage
passed on the way to Native Sons'
hall, where a reception in the presi
dent's honor was held. Mayor Schmitz
and Secretary Loci) were seated witb
the chief executive, and Rear Admiral
Bickford and his staff came directly
behind, members of the executive com
mittee following in carriages.
At the Native Sons' building was as
sembled a vast throng, which as the
president came in sight manifested
great enthusiasm. The hall itself was
crowded witli members of the Califor
nia Society of Pioneers, the Native
Sons of the Golden West, the Native
Daughters and the Veterans of the
Mexican War.
Ex-Mayor James D. Phelan delivered
a brief address of welcome and intro
duced Henry B. Russ, president of the
Society of California Pioneers, who
spoke briefly, as also did General
Stewart, president of the Society of
Veterans of the Mexican War; II. R.
McNoble, president of the Native Sons
of the Golden West, and Miss Eliza

Daughters.
James D. Phelan then presented to
the president a souvenir of the occa
sion, the work of a native sculptor,
representing a bear hunt reproduced
in gold. In accepting the gift Presi
dent Roosevelt responded In a happy
manner to all of the addresses of wel
come which had been made. His re
marks were punctuated by laughter
and applause, and at the close he was
escorted to his carriage by a joint com
mittee of the assembled orders. The
p#esidential party then proceeded to
Van Ness avenue, where thousands of
school children were assembled. The
pupils of the many schools carried ban
ners beautifully worked in silks and
other fine fabrics. Others were headed
by drummer boys.
Every child )had a flag, which was
waved as the president passed. An
incident of the ride was the presenta
tion to the- president of a photograph
by a little Chinese girl, who was lifted
up so that he could shake her hands.
After the review of the children the
president drove through the Presidio
and had a glance at the buildings, the
barracks of the different troops and the

the new road and finally reached the
golf links, on which the military re
view was held. General MncArthur
was in command. The men marched
past with the tread of veterans? infan
try, artillery and cavalry. Each arm of
the service made a most imposing spec
tacle.
The president complimented General
MacArtliur and other high officers on
the excellent showing of the men and
the aplendjd appearance of the garri
son.
The presidential party was then es
corted through Golden Gate park to
the Cliff House, where luncheon was
had, with members of the executive
committee, Governor Pardee, Admiral
Bickford and other invited guests. The
party halted at the Baker street park
entrance, where a large crowd was in
waiting to watch the president turn his
shovelful of earth for the .McKinley
monument.
Many representatives of the Spanish
American war veterans, the Grand Ar
my and thq Fioneers were in attend
ance, and they were referred to in eulo
gistic terms by the president in his re
marks.

Eileen Elliott, their daughter, accom
panied by Major Maude and Captain

thusiastically cheered the governor
general and his party as they drove
through the streets from the ferry
landing to the Knssell House, where a
reception was held, at the close of
which the distinguished visitors were
tendered a luncheon.
Lord Minto and his party, who ar
rived in Windsor yesterday afternoon
at 3 o'clock, crossed the river on Colo
nel F. J. Decker's yacht, the Vita.

mittee from Detroit met them as they
stepped aboard the yacht at Windsor.
Four companies of the First United

The party immediately entered car
riages, and amid the cheers of thou
sands of American citizens the drive
was begun. Hundreds of American
and British flags decorated the build
ings along the route traversed by Lord
Minto, who was visibly pleased by the
splendid reception given him.
At Grand Itiver and Woodward ave
nues the military escort came to com
pany front and stood at salute as Lord
Minto drove by, reviewing them. The
"Fighting First" made a magnificent
appearance in their khaki uniforms as
Canada's governor general drove slow
ly by them and saluted their torn flags.
The bands played "God Save the King"
during the review. The Twenty-flrst
Canadian Essex fuslleers accompanied
Lord Minto from Windsor.
It was nearly 8:30 o'clock when thi
