The President bowed his thanks to May

duced him to his audience, and expressed
his. pleasure at the cordial reception ex
tended to him on the first stop of his long
trip. Then, turning, directly to the. au
dience in front of him, he proceeded In
Ma peculiarly energetic manner to deliver
his address. He had some difficulty in
commencing, for tho* reason that the
cheers that had greeted his first appear
ance in the hall burst forth with reneweil

he' was able t<> proceed. The , address
throughout was received in the most cor

for the manner in which It was 'delivered
as for the matter which it contained. In
the course of the address, which was on
tho Monroe doctrine, he said:.

HELENA, Mont., April 2.— Thomas
O'Brien was to-day pardoned by Acting
Governor Murray. O'Brien's case is most
novel. He made his escape from the peni
tentiary, and with the prison officials in
pursuit, wrote letters to a Butte papor
giving his side of the case to the public.
The letters were published and O'Brien
then returned to the prison, declaring
that- ns the public was aware-. of the
true facts and his innocence he soon
would be pardoned. O'Brien wa3 sent up
for the alleged theft of a rvagonload of
goods.

Brundidge replied he didn't have to have
it. Clark retorted and they clinched.
Clark is alleged to have struck Brundidge
with a closed pocketknife, firundidge be
ing badly- cut on the face. • .
The trouble Is said to have been the re
sult of a recent Interview published with
Brum^jdge here criticizing Clark for not
having Senator Berry escort' him to the
desk to be sworn in.

LITTLE ROCK, April 2.— United States
Senator F. P. Clark ana Congressman
Brundidge,". both of this State. >rot Into
an argument In front of the Capitol
Hotel here at noon to-day and fought
fiercely -for about ten 'minutes. Clark is
a tall, powerful man and his opponent is
short. ' Clark, according, to eye-witnesses,
attacked Brundidge first, landing a heavy
left on thejaw. The Congressman clinched
and both : men fought hard. Police ar
rlvtd.-and separated ' the combatants.
Brundidge was taken up to hlJT room
bleeding freely -from eye and mouth.
Clark also was. badly used up.
The trouble was caused by a difference
of opinion on a political question. Both
are Democrats. Witnesses say Clark was
talking to four members of the Legis
lature and Brundidge came up and . of
fered to shake hands. Clark is alleged
to have said: . !

Squire Dumont's court and Constables
Crltchell and Timborlakc started for the
hotel with attachment papers. Chinn
grew indignant at the constable's call and
rushed at them to throw them out.
Critehcir stood his ground and sent the
colonel sprawling over his supper table.
Tie then relieved him of his two guns and
bowie knif«\
The affair was an unexpected event in
Colonel Chinn's career. .He had pur
chased .a bill. of goods amounting to prob
ably $75 at Burkhardt Bros., and agreed
to pay the bill later. Fearing that the
colonel would leave the city and forget
the bill, the firm sent its colored messen
ger to collect it. This angered Chinn and
with his stentorian voice he frightened
t lie. messenger so much that the latter
tnok to his heels.
CINCINNATI, Apnl 2.-Colonel "Jack"
Chinn, the "invincible Kentuckian'' poli
tician and walking arsenal, went down to
defeat here to-day in an encounter with
a constable who came to levy on the
colonel's belongings.
With this defeat the colonel suffers the.
deepest humiliation, for the burly con
stable, not content with punching him,
relieved him of his pocket editions ot re
volvers and a big'bowle knife and left
the colonel in a disordered condition after
the encounter.
When' the President, escorted by the
members of the local committee, appear
ed on tho platform he was met with great
tiilhusiasm. the vast crowd rising to its
feet and supplementing Its hearty cheers
with waving programmes and fluttering
handkerchiefs. *
r r.h*! 'President acknowledged his recep
tion with repeated lions and took his seal
between Franklin MacVeagh, the chair
man of the committee, and Mayor Har
rison. As soon as his voice- ~could , be
heard, MacVeagh in a few, words an
nounced- that the nation's chief executive
would bo made welcome to the city by
Mayor Harrison; who then spoke briefly,
extending to the President a hearty : wel
cume and expressing the pleasure felt by
who were utterly unable to hear a- word
of the President's address. All that'eame
to them was the roar of 1 applause from
within, and with such loyal 'tongues did
they accept their cuo that several 'times
they were giving vent to cheers 'when
those on tho lnaide had died away and the
President had resumed his address. Twice
during the evening Chief of Police O'Neal
was compelled to send word to the pa
triots without tho door that they must
cheer in better time or he would be com
pelled to clear the. stairway.
CROWD PACKS THE STREET.
In the street outside, for. more than an
hour before the time set for the opening
of the President's address, small assem
blies of policemen were kept busy. Thou
sands of persons filled Wabash avenue- in
the rear of the Auditorium, jammed Mich
igan avenue in front of it and blockaded,
to the best of Its ability, Congress street,
which runs at the side of it. The officers
were stretched in double linealong all the
walks immediately adjoining the building
and no person who could not exhibit cre
dentials entitling him to admission to the
hall was permitted upon the walk. The
jam at the doors of the hull for thirty
minutes preceding the time at which the
President was to open his address was of
a character to test the paticn.ee of the'po
lice without and within. ..:.-».
