H. FOREIGN NEWS. THE REVOLUTION IN TAMAUUPAS GROWING. yon, and the result is that I have gone ahead with these works with my whole heart la them and I have carried them forward until they are completed. This completion has' been delayed somewhat: First, by the inclemency of the winter, which was much colder than you have experienced for years, and after that your second flood came, then a little later the cyclone, first one thing and then another which I know have been discouraging to yon and vexatious to me, as I hid hoped to have these works completed two months ago.

At present they are completed and I owe as mnch of their success to your hearty co-operation as to anything else. Perhaps at this time I may also be pardoned if I recapitulate the capacity and slz of these works. (Its quality I hardly think I need talk to you about, I believe it is absolutely pure water which the Capital City Water Company is now able and desirous to furnish you all.) It is drawn from the depths of the earth. We haye made wells in three strata, each of which furnishes the same quality of water, each under a different pressure. The stratum nearest the surface is the greatest in quantity but least in head at greatest aepth and while larger in quantity is in my opinion quite abundant.

These wells in my opinion wehave threeiwells completed and three in process cinsupplyitwelve and a half million gallons in twenty-four hours, which is about twice as much as your city will use with its population. Our works are of considerable magnitude, much greater than I anticipated, mucn greater than called for in our contract but such as it is. It la here. It is your in one sense; and it is mine, we are joint owners. We have worked together to get it and we must work together to keep it and I have no doubt but that we snail.

Thanking you gentlemen for your attention and most heartily thanking you for your good will and tor your friendship on tnls and on all other occasions, I now close. 2. May the American people never know the difference between the North and the South, the SEast and the West, but may the love of our country extend with its boundaries. Response by Gov. O'Neal.

3. Massachusetts and Alabama have clasped hands over the bloody chasm and now wash away all past differences in the pure and limpid waters that gush from mother Earth. Response by Col. Ellis, President of the Capital City Water Company. MB, ELLIS' SPEECH.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: It is unfortunate for me that I am called upon to speak after his Excellency, for what can ene do after the king. I am the confidence we had in your good faith, your business integrity ana in your uprightness, and in ttie, gentlemen, Massachusetts extends the right hand of fraternal greeiiog to the men of Alabama, and may their friendship live fortver. 4. Montgomery a city whose motto Is progress and prosperity, and under the guidance of our present administration has linked arms and is steadily marching forward with euch giant strides tnat pre long she will be fenown only ai the "Qieen City of the South." Response by Mayor Reese.

MAYOR REESE'S SPEECH, It has been the constant aim of the present administration to serve the best interests ot Montgomery, and build a substantial foundation upon which solid; and enduring prosperity can be reared. Possessed of great natural advantages of soil and climate, within tasy reach of the great stores of coal aid iron of the State, with boundless resources of timber and cotton at our very doors, and; with favorable transportation faculties by land and water, it will be the fault of her own people if Mantiromery falls to take her place as one of the most important commercial and manufacturing cities in the South. It gives me great pleasmeto note the fact that the spiiit of pn gress has taken hold of the citizens of Montgomery. The event whlca we celebrate this evening will be one of the greatest factors in building up Montgomery and contributing to the health and comfort of her people. From every standpoint an abundant supply of pure water Is of the most vital importance to a city, and its value cannct be over-estimated.

My fellow citizens, If we aie true to the best interests of our city, and utilize the grand resources within cur reach, Montgomery will yet deserve the eloquent lines once app ied to ancient Venice: "In purple was she robed, and of her feasts Monarchs partook and deemed their dignity Increased. 5.

Howland. MB. HOWLAND'S SPEECH. "Gentlemen and friends I trust I can call you all friends. You have been most friendly to me during the last few months that I have been with you, and particularly so during the last few days.

This tribute or testimonial this evening is most pleasant and most unexpected, and I trust you will believe me, most thankfully received. In the last few years I have built waterworks in the North, South, East and West all over the country but I have never found a city where the conditions were txactly as those under which you were placed when I came here, and I have never met with a city that has appeared to appreciate my efforts as you have. Perhaps on this occasion you will pardon me if I take up your time witi a brief epitome of the Capital City Water Company, the toast towhlcn am to respond Yon know better than the circumstances which made your honorable City Council and your Honorable Mayor advertise in the summer of 1885, inviting proposals from parties to build in jour city a new system of water That advertisement came to my notice, and I corresponded with his Honor, the Mayor; but upon learning that you had another system of water works here, and upon learning that you were not decided whether you want to own your'own works or not, I he Hated about coming, andwrote that I did not expect to pursue the subject further but in the course of a few months, Capt. Hoxie, who had (he Interests of your city at heart, wrote to a friend of bis in New York-Mr. Telly and Mr.

Telly wrote to me, and at last I decided to come here. My first attempt naturally was to see what your city was like, I was never south of Masons Dixon's line before. My first impressions were most favorable. I spent a day riding around and examining your city, talking to your business men and decided that you certainly needed a system of water works, more in conformity with the importance of your city than what you had. My next step was to see whether the then existing company proposed to ex tend their works, and make them as they should be, as after examining them 1 could but agree mat tney were iubui-ficlent But I did not meet with any tuccess and I did not have any aeucacy about going on; but thinking that two eras were naraiy uw eary, uu at one properly constructed and aged would be ample, I made over-s for the purchase of the works bnt not succeed.

I did not endeavor in way to antagonize the old company, link made them a proposition but ot remember how that prosition rne Temps' account oi me auei says that after the encounter, Larienty, holding out his hand to Boulanger, said: "I have never doubted your loyalty nor your courage;" and that Boulanger replied: "I never thought that you accused me of personal cowardice, but I was anxious to face your fire." Review of Chicago Market. Chicago, July 17. For a change, prices took a little np turn to-day, though for an hour or so alter the opening it was a question which way prices would go. In corn there was nothing to be heard, except bullish news. A large number of telegrams were re ceived from St.

Louis and Kansas City and given as wide circulation as possible, all agreeing that tbe real situation was worse even than had been reported. Talk of this kind advanced September options 40Jc. Notwithstanding the heavy receipts of 446 cars, manipulation was quite a factor in wheat to-day, and prices responded by a little advance. The floor talk is that even before the opening Armour had broke the talking market, and as early as thev could legitimately do so, selling it off. August opened at 76c, which was a decline of a c.

During this period another set of brokers were quietly buying. The maiket kept Inside of 78c. all day, and closed firm. Nearly all the local houses on tbe market to any extent wereonthe buying side. Hog products particularly pork, suffered from an over supply of stop orders.

Early in the day it broke about 20c. per barrel, but later recovered over half of it and closed steady. AN EXEHPIiABY lOCNU MA.N Steals Some Money and ttoes to Canada. Pittsburg, July 17. Samuel H.Gay, chief clerk in the Pittsburg Pension Office, has probably gone to Canada to join the great array of bank cashiers.

Yesterday arternoon Pension Agent Er-rett discovered that Gay had forged the names of pensioners to three checks, aggregating $800. An information for forgery was made before United States Commissioner McCandless, and a war rant issued for his arrest, but before the officer could serve it Gay got wind of the movement and quickly left the city. Xiumor is busy with trie case, ana conjecture is rife that the amount above stated may be only a fraction of Gay's stealings. Several weeks ago an Investigation of the accounts of the pension agent in Pittsburg was made, and it was then found that there were several discrepancies involving considerable sums of money. There was every evidence of embezzlement, covered by falsification of books.

Errett was then notified by the treasury department to look after his clerks, as some one was doing wrong. Nothing further was heard of the matter until last evening, when Errett telegraphed to Washington that Gay had absconded. Gay was the son of wealthy parents. Some years ago he married a relative of Mayor Fulton. He was an exemplary young man in fact, a strict attendant at church, quite active in the Young Man's Chrlsiian Association and a prominent leader in the Mnrphy temperance movemeat.

He tooK great interest in lecture i oy clergymen and was the head and front of near- lv all movements to bring Talmage to Pittsburg. Even his most intimate friends ntvar saw any tt log in his conduct that would arouse suspicion. Gay bad a salary of $vo per montn. A. Hew Sort of Case.

Bosche, members of the Typographical Union, charged with conspiracy to Injure the business, of the Courier Publishing Company, occupied one hour in its delivery. The charge was generally thought to be rather favorable to the defendants than otherwise. The judge explained to the jury each of the six counts in detail, and cited many authorities having a bearing on the case. The jury then retired and were out one hour, and when they returned the verdict was announced, finding McNamara, Glidden and Mulcahy guilty on each ot the six counts in the indictments. Busche was acquitted.

The grand Jury closed its investigation of charges against members ot the house of dele gates last night, and returned indictments sgaintt ix of them. Three were indicted for drunkenness in office, and three for bribery in connection with Investigation of the Casino theatre, when the bill revoking that theatre's license for indecent performances was before the house. The jury returned two other indictments for attempted bribery, one against Dr. Wllllngton Adams, the other against Charles A. Davis, an attorney.

These gentlemen bad charge of the Electric Railway bill and were present at almost every session of the house urging its passage. The bill failed to pass, however, and it is said that Dr. Adams became enraged at members who had voted against the measure, and threatened in the lobby of the house to show up some of them in such an unfavorable light as to make them decidedly uncomfortable. Then followed charges against twelve delegates that they were ineligible to office1, having perjured themselves by swearing falsely when they took their seats. This exposure naturally aroused the wrath of the accused, and they determ- ined to pay the Doctor off in his own coin, and gave information to a jury which led to his Indictment, this information being that he had offered two of the members a large sum of money for their affirmative votes upon the bill, Dr.

Adams states, however, that he never attempted to bribe these members, but that they, on the other hand, came to him and volunteered to vote for the bill for a certain money consideration. Bench warrants for the arrest of the indicted men have been placed in the hands of the sheriff, and Delegate Pishon and Dr. Adams were arrested this afternoon and brought into court, -where they furnished bonds in the sum -of $1,500. Other warrants will be served as soon as possible. xoBnoNisai Proclaimed Illegal in Utah by fJoYer-nor West.

St. Lotis, July 17. A special from Brownsville, Texas, says: The revolution in Tamaulipas, Mexico, appears to be increasing, and troops in this section seem utterly unable to cope with it. Already they are making some demonstrations toward this side. Last Wednesday night thirty of them crossed and occupied a ranch six miles above this city, but as they committed no overt acts they were not arrested.

To-day, however, Sheriff Brltto received the following dispatch from Santa Maria: "Last night fifteen men crossed from this side to La Balsa, to join the party. AmoDg them were Warcos DeLusa, Manuel Hinajosa, Bernardo Gonzales, and other good ones. They are stealing guns and pistols and horses from ranches in front of here. They killed one man yesterday because he would not give up his pistols. Santa Maria is twenty-five miles above here on the river, and there is a small sub-post of the United States cavalry stationed there.

The parties mentioned lathe telegram are noted desperadoes and outlaws indicted here. Brltto at once left with a force of deputies for the scene of action, and on his representation Major Kellogg sent up a force of cavalry tore-inforce the sub-post and prevent any invasion of American soil. It is known that the revolutionists want arms badly. New Laredo, Texas, July 17. Excitement ran high in this city yesterday, caused by sensational reports coming in from Meir and Guerro.

It is said that the whole country in that section is in arms, and that recruits are going there from the American side of the river. Buenato Diaz, an ex-revolutionist and bandit who has sojourned on the Texas side of the river for some time past, has joined the insurgents in Mexico. Laredo has been chosen as headquarters for the government troops in the Northern part of Tumaulipas. Last evening the Monterey train over the Mexican National brought In two hundred and fifty troops, who immediately went into camp at the government barracks and are awaiting marching orders from Matamoras. They are in command of Col.

Colonel Prajadis Canassos with a fores of civ-airy arrived at the station within one hour after the train had passed, but found that the Tapias men bal also let r. It is thought he is pressing them closely though no account cf a fight has yet been obtained. Tbe revolutionists are raiding all the ranches, and Thursday, near Solicleno, stopped a rauchero and demanded his horss and pistols. The latter ref used and fired at one of the party, wounding him, when his body was riddled with bullete, strung lo a tree on the roadside as a warning to others, and his horse and pistols catried off in triumph. The revolution appears to be spreading in the State of Nuevo Leon.

"El-mundo" of to-day published an extra with the following dispatch that State: ''To the cry for the restoration of the constitution of 1857, the valiant Colonel Francisco T. Casa, at tbe head of over fifty men, occupied the city. There is no limit to the enthusiasm. Mariano Cruz has also today been occupied. General Bravo and Luclaoner H.

FRENCH 1CKL Was it All a Patched np affair Paris, July 17. The duel between General Boulanger, minister of war, and De Lareinty, arising from there-marks of the baron In the Senate Thursday, relative to the expulsion of DukeD. fought at 9 this morning. The weapons were pistols, place of meeting was in a forest near Mendln, four miles west of Paris. When the command to fire was given, Baron De Lareinty shot at General Boulanger.

The latter cooly awaited the result of the shot without firing himself. Finding himself untouched by his opponent's bullet, General Boulanger raised his own pistol and fired up into the air. The combattants then left the field. General Boulanger returning to Paris, went straight to his office at the war department. A large crowd had assembled to learn the result of the duel and gave General Boulanger when he returned, an ovation.

Members of the cabinet and scores of deputies and senators have visited Gen. Boulanger at the war department to personally congratulate him upon the bravery of his action in his duel with Baron Lareinty. no firing in the air. The official report of the duel says that Baron Lareinty desired that It be fought with swords, but that General Boulanger had tbe right of choice, and named pistols. Bath combatants fired when the siornal was siven.

and both were untouched. It was found that Bsulatgf r's pistol had missed fire. The seconds declared that honor was satisfied, sad the combatants shock hands. The rtpoit does not confirm tie state not a public speaker it is not my trade. But I know a little something about Massachusetts; and if you will allow me to say it, I do not agree to that senti ment to wnicn'i amassed to respond, i came down here in February, 1885.

I did not come across the bloody chasm, I came by way of solid land. That bloody chasm was tilled np years ago. If it now exists at all, it is in the minds of some old fogy politician. Massachusetts cuts a very insignificant position upon the map of the United States a mere dot. Why I could make six States the size of Massachusetts out of Alabama, and have several good size farms remaining, but there is something in Massachusetts.

It has about one and a half times the inhabitants there are In Alabama, notwithstanding it is so small. In agricultural products we do not compare very well with your State. Its soli is hard and sterile. Its people are manufacturing Ipeople. In co- tw woolen and worsted manufactories they stand as first ia the Union.

In wealth and commerce it stands second. Probably makes more boots and shoes than any Slate in tb country. Now then, what is there in Alabama? We have spoken of the comparative size of the two States. Alabama produces about ten times the corn and seven times the oats. In 1884 you received nearly 700,000 bales of cotton, which was worth about forty dollars a bale.

This would make a handsome income, some twenty-eight millions of dollars. Alabama is a comparatively young State, an undeveloped State as compared to Massachusetts. It is a State of great, capabilities and possibilities. Her coal fialda in the northern part of the State equal in size about five eighths of the whole State of Massachusetts. Your fields of iron are commensurate to those of coal.

You have all the mateiial side by Bide to start your forges and and not only that, but you are shipping iron to Pennsylvania. 4 Alabama is an Indian name, I learn so called by them, meaning "Here we rest here we rout." I suppose that when Mr. Indian camped in your fields, when he traversed your magnificent rivers, when he went through your Impenetrable forests abounding in all kinds of game, when he breathed your salubroui air, warm in summer, but not too warm, coid in winter, but not too cold, he said to him-elf, "Well, this is just about right, here we rest, we will stay here," and I think he is right. I have been here six months and I feel that I have come down among friends, and I desire, as Mr. Howland did, to express my personal gratitude to you for the friendly greetings which 1 have met on the street from every man whom I knew, and many whom I did not know.

Nothing but friendly courtesy from every man whom I have had the pleasure or meeting in Montgomery. We came down here gentlemen, as has been said, to build you a system of water works. These works are about completed. They are here, and I believe to stay. Men may come and men may go, but public works of this kind will remain They will be here to give life, health and happiness to the people of Montgomery when the men who planned them and the men who-built them shall have returned to the bosom of the common mother of us alL They will remain here a permanent monument to the confidence which the men of Massachusetts had in the men ot Alabama, when thev come down here and invested their property here, and hesawon the top of the picture a pri- vate soldier.

Coming from a State where they were all generals, colonels and majors, this sight was a refreshing novelty. He was glad to be in a Statu that had some private soldiers. He wound up by saying that Alabama's motto, "Here We Rest," was a misnomer as applied to Montgomery. Her motto plainly was "Howl, and let the water flow." Col. Sanford and Mr.

Roquemore were both called on, and after their speeches the reporter heard a hoarse cry of "copy!" from up on Perry street and left the etjwd still speaking. It was all deligntful, and Mr. D. P. West, of the Exchange, deserves Infinite credit for the arrangement and elegance of the table.

The Advertiser's special stenographer has notes of all the speeches, but there was only time to get to press with the three most important, that of Mr. Howland, in whose honor the banquet was given, of Mr. president of the company, and of Mayer Reese, head of the city administration, whose enterprise has acbelved for Montgomery a triple blessing.
