Many Influential Men Take Part In Viceroy's
Entertainment-Mr. Cleveland Says "Aloha''
and Then Goes Home Li Huns Chang
May Return via San Francisco.
NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 29. In the
magnificent white and gold ballroom,
just off from the main hall of the man
sion of William C. Whitney in Fifth
avenue, the President of the Unite
States, at 11 o'clock today, formally
received the respects of the Emperor
of China through the medium of the
great Chinese statesman, Li Hung
Chang.
The Oriental Embassador left the
Waldorf Hotel at 10:40 o'clock, escort
ed by the Sixth United States Cavalry,
and attended by his secretary and in
terpreter, Lo Fung Luh, and Secretary
of State Richard Olney. In the next
carriage was the Chinese Minister,
Yang Yu, and his secretary, with Gen
eral Ruger. The third vehicle con
tained the Viceroy's two sons and Col
onel Davis. Commissioners of Chi
nese Customs J B Drew, with a staff
omcer, was in the last carriage.
Earl Li wore his famous yellow jack
et and peacock feathers. The party
reached the Whitney residence at TV)
o'clock sharp, and Li Hung Chang was
received by the President a few riin-
utes later. Secretary Carlisle, Assist
ant Secretary of State W. W. Rockhill,
General James Wilson, John Russell
Young, John W. Foster, Private Sec
retary Thurber and William C. Whit
ney were the only others present at
the reception, the character of which
was changed at the last moment from
a public to a private one. The repre
sentatives from the two press associa
tions, who had been invited, were not
permitted to be present.
The letter from the Emneror of !
China which Li Hung Chang presented
to President Cleveland was a very elab-
orate affair, done in Chinese parchment
and wrapped in a yellow silk covering,
upon which was the Chinese dragon
worked in red. blue, screen and white. !
The parchment resembled a large music
roll.
After Mr. Cleveland finished his re-
marks he introduced Secretaries Car- nal of a scene- during which men cheer
lisle and Lamont. Attornev-General !ed and waved whatever they could get
Harmon. Mr. Whitney and the other
gentlemen present whom Li Hung
Chang had not met. Ex-Secretary of
State John W. Foster was cordially
greeted by Li Hung Chang. The offi
cial interpreter, Lo Fung Luh, intro
duced the two sons of the Viceroy ard
the others who accompanied him to
President Cleveland.
President Cleveland and Secretaries
Olney. Carlisle and Lamont took lun-
cheon with Mr. Whitney. Mr. Cleve
land left -on the yacht Sapphire for
Gray Gables this afternoon. He was
accompanied by Mr Olney and Private
Secretary Thurber.

NEW YORK. Aug. 30. About half
an hour previous to the return of Li
from the residence of Colonel Grant
Iiu Baw. one of the Viceroy s suite. .
consented to talk with the "Examin
er's" correspondent.
"Does the Viceroy intend to go West
and pass through San Francisco?" was
asked.
"Perhaps. They are doing a great
deal out there to get him to stop over
at that point. He has been informed
that nearly 30.000 Chinese are living
there and that it is the largest Chinese
settlement in America. It is likely he
will accede to their wishes."

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 2. Forty-one
States and three Territories, represent
ed by 824 delegates, met today in Tom
linson Hall as the climax of a six
weeks campaign to repudiate the action
of the Chicago Convention and put
forth a declaration of principles and
name a Presidential ticket. Senator
Palmer, who called the body to order,
termed it the first convention of the
National Democratic party, while oth
ers referred to it as the Democracy
which held its last convention in 1892
Admission to the hall was confined
strictly to ticket-holders. As a result
many people were denied admittance.
Inside, every seat in the space reserved
on. the floor for delegates and alter
nates was taken, and the galleries, ex
cept on the upper balconies in the rear
of the hall, where the band was located,
were comfortably well filled. The chairs
in the rear of the platform reserved for
the distinguished guests were nearly all
occupied. The decorations were lavish.
There was a profusion of flags and
bunting, trailing smilax, Spanish moss
and potted flowers, but the most notice
able feature was the prevalence of git,
symbolic of the spirit of the conven
tion. Gold wreaths were everywhere
in the decorations, and half the dele
gates were sprays of golden-rod in
their lapels of their coats. There was
an unusually large number of ladies in
the galleries.
The delegates themselves were an
imposing body of men. Among them
were many who have for years been
prominent in national affairs and the
councils of the Democratic partv. Not
a few were delegates to the Chicago
' lit i ' ' i i , iii,iuutug 1 ' ill nan uivu
of delegations, who returned here in
i the same capacity, except that whereas
they were hissed there for declining
to participate in the proceedings, their
appearance here was the signal for out
bursts of enthusiasm
There was plenty of enthusiasm, and
demonstrations were numerous. Every
reference to Mr. Cleveland was the sig-
their hands on. Miniature flags found
their way out of mysterious recesses
and were waved on every occasion.
The convention held two sessions,
but got no further than effecting the
permanent organization. Ex-Governor
Flower, the temporary chairman, and
Senator Caffery, the permanent chair
man, both delivered addresses, and
Dr. Everett of Massachusetts and John
P. Irish, the Pacific Coast orator, voic-
ed the spirit of the convention during
intermissions in the proceedings. There
was not a jar or hitch anywhere. The
temper of the delegates was displayed
in the vigorous fashion with which the
denunciation of the Chicago platform
and its candidates were received.
Governor Flower referred to Bryan
as an "ambitious, unsteady and unsafe
man." and a "demagogue and a word
juggler," with "a revolutionary mob
behind him.' and the rafters rang with
applause.
Perhaps the most important action
laken Dv the convention was the adop
tion of a recommendation to make the
organization permanent and to em
power the National Committee appoint
ed to call future conventions. This
indicates a contest four years from
now over the regularity of the two or
ganizations, and may prove far-reaching
in its effects. The platform will
be adopted and the candidates nomin
ated tomorrow. Tonight a great mass
meeting was held.
An unusual feature is the entire ab-

Those Willis Instructions Were
Never Given.
DENIAL MADE AT WASHINGTON.
United States Consul General Mills Reports on
Condiiion of Trade Exports Nearly Double
Those of Last Year Good Portion of Sugar
Sent Around the Horn to New York.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 The dis
patches from San Francisco yesterday
to the effect that United States Minis
ter Willis had been authorized to ne
gotiate with President Dole of Hawaii
for either annexation, a monarchical
form of government with Princess Kai
ulana at the head, or a United States
protectorate for the Hawaiian Islands
find no credence in official circles in
this city. It is regarded as extremely
improbable that President Cleveland
should desire to reopen the Hawaiian
scandal under existing conditions; and
it is thought to be even more improb
able that President Dole would con
sider overtures from an unfriendly ad
ministration so near the end of its
term, especially when there is no doubt
that the Island Republic would receive
much more generous treatment at the
hands of the next administration, re
gardless of its personality. Nor is it
thought that there is any likelihood of
a further attempt of the Cleveland ad
ministration to "right the wrongs" of
Liliuokalani, or to restore the mon
archy under Kaiulana.
State Department officials disclaim
all knowledge of any such negotiations
as are indicated in the rumors from Ho
nolulu. Acting Secretary Adee says he
has never heard of any such negotia
tions, and intimates plainly that the
Hawaiian story is very much over
drawn, if not altogether without foun
dation. x
BUSINESS BEING DIVERTED.
Consul-General Mills Reports on 11a-
' wallan Trade.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. The diver
sion of Hawaiian trade from San Fran
cisco to New York is commented on by
Consul General Ellis Mills at Honolulu
in a report to tne state Department.
He says the exports this year are al
most double those of last year, reach
ing $8,748,000 for the year, against $4,
949,900 last year. Most of this is in
sugar, of which $2,457,500 has been car
ried around Cape Horn direct to New
York instead of going via San Francis
co. One large snipment nas gone round
the Horn to Boston.

Armenians Will Kltrlit to a Finish.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. 29 The
Armenian revolutionary committee
have issued another manifesto, in
which are embodied twelve demands,
the chief of which is that autonomy
be granted to the Armenians.
After enumerating their demands
the manifesto goes on to declare that
the Armenians will fight for their
rights until the last of them have been
killed.

LONDON, Sept. 2. In official circles
it is belitved that the Marqu.a of Salis
bury has determined to pursue hid own
course at Constantinople In the future,
and has given the British Am bass td or.
Sir Phillip Currie, precise and signifi
cant instructions, with greater powers
to command naval aid in enforcing the
demands of Great Britain.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 2. The
Turkish Government has sent a circu
lar to its representatives abroad to the
effect that there have been no disturb
ances since Saturday, and that order
and security reign at the capital as well
as in the provinces of the Empire.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2. The Herald's
Constantinople correspondent cables to
that paper under date of August 29th:
The events of the last few lays have in
deed proved a terrible verification of
the information vouchsafed me since
my arrival here, and repeatedly empha
sized in my letters, that though Crete
might occupy the telegraphic wires for
the moment, the Armenian conspiracy
was the ulcer which, backed by foreign
sympathy, was eating at the vitals of
Turkey.
Now that dynamite has proved the
character of the disease beyend a doubt
outside opinion may well be left to
take care of itself. The police as well
as the soldiery are accused by some of
not having done all In their power to
prevent the Armenians being killed.
Voices are even heard saying the police
here and there even winked at the con
duct of the mob. Anybody who has
lived through these forty-eight event
ful hours may well believe it possible
that among the police of so mixed a
population black sheep cannot be ab
sent. WILL, SPREAD DKsntl i I ION.
Judications That Weyler Will l va-
t ale n ban I 'ielU -,.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30. The World's
Havana cable says: "The rebels must
be defeated before the year ends or we
are lost," Premier Canovas cabled to
Captain General Weyler. The despair
ing dispatch explained that the Span
ish Government had taken alarm at
the developments of a recent interview
between United States Minister Taylor
and the Duke of Tetuan, Spain's Min
ister of Foreign Affairs.
General Weyler cabled back to Ma
drid that in that case he must resort to
extreme methods. "Do as you please,"
replied Senor Canovas. Thereupon Gen
erel Weyler determined to issue shortly
an edict forbidding the grinding of
the season s. sugar crop. When that
edict appears war will begin in earnest.
The Cubans will occupy the hills and
the woods, while the Spanish troops
will be in the towns and the villages.
Sugar mills will be destroyed by both
sides, for Weyler will adopt Gomes'
tactics and enter upon a campaign of
extirpation. Cuba will be made desolate
by fire and sword. The torch will be
applied by the regulars and the insur
gents alike, to everything which might
