Philadelphia, Mar is a legal holiday in this state and business in the city was almost entirely suspended. The day wat.cja.udy and threatening, but there ahcTmany sporting events and Memorial ceremonies were all well attended.

The principal points of interest were of course those visited by President Harrison and the distinguished members of the party accompanying him from Washington. President Harrison, Secretary Proctor, Secretary Tracy, Postmaster General Wanamaker and Private Secretary Halford arrived here at 11:15 this morning. Commander Sawyer welcomed the president in behalf of George G. Meade post No. 1.

Drawn up outsido the station was the historic city troop of cavalry, who from the day that Washington entered this city to take his inaugural oath, have acted as an escort to every president who has been a guest of Philadelphia, which escorted the president and members of his cabinet to Independence hall. In a brief speech Mayor Stewart welcomed the president, who replied in quite a lengthy speech in the appropriate and felicitious character for whioh he has become famous. THE PKgSIDENT RESPONSE. In replying to Mayor Stewart's welcome the president said he was glad as a comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic, to participate in the exercises instituted to keep alive the memories of patriotic devotion and sacrifice. He said that in his extended trip recently he had been able to see what was the flower of seeds planted here a century ago.

ConticuingJJhe said he had observed that the people were satisfied with the issue of the late war, and that perpetual peace preserved all the states. He believed the flag of years had been established again in our hearts, and that the question of loyal submission to the constitution had been perpetually settled, and settled to the great contentment and happiness of all the people. In conclusion he said: "I have never been able to think of this day as one of mourning. I have never been quite able to feel that half masted flags were appropriate on Memorial day. I have rather felt that the flags should be at (the peak, because those dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it.

We honor them in thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. We mourn for them as comrades from whom we have departed, but we feel the glory of their dying, the glory of their achievements covers all our grief and has set their names in an imperishable roll of honor." At the conclusion of the re ception which followed, the presi dent was escorted to the Heading railroad station, at Thirteenth and Callow-hill streets, and took the train for Laurel Hill cemetery, where he will take part in the" ceremonies over the grave of General George Meade, the hero of Gettysburg. Returning from the cemetery, the presi dent and party will be the, guests of the directors of the Union League club, with whom they will dine at 4 clock. From 5:30 to 7 a public reception will be held at the club and at 7:20 the president and party will return to Washington by the road over which they came. AT GALSSBURG, ILL.

Galksburg, 111., May 30. Memorial day was observed in this city today by the entire population, lne exercises were those incident to the day gener ally. 'I he address was delivered by Leland J. Webb, of Topeka, Kansas, the commander-in-chief of the Sons of Vet erans, U. A.

and was well received by all wno beard it. speaking of the ad- drees recently published, asking for con triDUtionB to aid in the erection ot a monument lor Jea uavis, jur. Webb said: That the southern soldier should re vere the memory of his fallen comrades is as natural as that the union soldier should, and we reBpect that sentiment known as "corur aietship," whether north or south. I say all honor to the brave men and tair women of the south when they decorate the graves of their fallen heroes, but standing here in this presence, in tne name ot every union soldier who died for his country, in the name or. every union soldier who lost limb and health that his country might live, in the name of every union soldiers widow and orphan, in the name of every soldier of the union, wno starvea ana sunered in a prison pec, and by all the sacred mem ones which cluster around this Memor ial day, realizing full well the import of my -words, I assert that a monument erected to the memory of the late presi dent of the so-oalled confederate states is a monument to treasen.

No false sentiment should be indulged in at this time. Jefferson Davis, more than any other man. was resBonsible fer the war of the rebellion. His al se teaching, his treason to his country and its flag, did more than all else combined to bring on that cruel war which cost so many lives, caused so much suffering north and south, to say nc-ihing about the vast sums of money expenOdto put down the rebel lion, ine lessons -qu oh a monument would teach mast necessarily be those which he who lay beneath it "tsught in his lifetime. Those doctrines wer false when Mr.

Davis advocated them; they are false now, and. they are dangerous to the country. We eannot justify the erec tion of a monument to commemorate the life and services of Jefferson Davis without sdmitting that the "lost cause" was right, and that those who defended the Union were wrong, We cannot give our assent to these propositions. That our brethren of the South are honest and sincere in their love and admiration for their fallen leader is conceded, but it is this very sincerity which makes this proposition so dangerous. The charge is made in this address to the people of the South that the treatment of Mr.

Davis was "persecution unparalleled in atrocity and bitterness." God speed the day when there shall be no more con' troversy concerning those long, weary years of the war, out silence new. in the face of this charge, would- be cowardly. We must not, we can sot forget the heroic suffering of the thousands and tens of thousands of our comrades in Libby, BUe Iala Saulsbury, nderaon cneerea tne wheelmen as they were let go. P. M.

THE MINISTERIAL PREDICTION Is That There Will Be No Imme diate Reduction of the Tariff on Foreign Imports. PRINCE BISMARCK OPPOSED To a Reduction, and Will Make the Base of a Coalition Against the Government It German Cable Letter- Copyrighted 1891, by the New York AS- soclated Press. 1 Berlin, May 30.

Emperor William, before deciding on tne reduction or temporary1 suspension of duties, asked Dr. Von Eittechor, secretary of the i penal home oince, to submit to him a report upon the crop prospects and upon the general economic position bearing upon the question. The Ministerial coun cil will meet tomorrow to take definite ac tion touching the matter. The Ministers maintain the utmost reserve, but it is the official conviction tonight that there will be neither a reduction nor suspen sion of duties Deiore tne commercial treaty between Germany and Austria Hungary comes into force. The Cologne Gazette states that the government will declare its decision on Monday.

Lobby gossip has it that the reichstag will be called in extra session June 11, but this report is in direct variance with the belief in ministerial circles. A special, session would force the govern ment to awkward disclosures, which might assist Piece Bismarck in forming the opposition coalition which he is now actively at work constructing. The progressist press announced today that Prince Bismarck will appear in the reichstag and oppose the reduction of grain tariffs, and predicts that the prince will meet with a humiliating defeat, as hardly a score of members will support him. The position may be summed up as follows: If the ministers declare Eemi-f amine is impending, no party will dare oppose the measures of relief. Public indignation against Kussia be cause of that government's treatment of Jews is becoming more intense.

He brews driven from Russia arrive hore daily in absolute destitution. These exiles are met at the station by co-religionists, who supply them with food and clothing and little money and procure them passeito London or New York. The letter iroin Mr. Gladstone, reprinted here affirming that the czar does not know the horrors inflicted upon his Jewish, sub jects, differs utterly from the facts. The truth is that the czar him self is the chief instigator of the increasing severity practiced upon Jews.

Jewish advices from St Peters burg and Moscow concur in the statement that most powerful influences fiave been brought to bear upon the czar, but that the condition of the Jews is hopeless.

The long rows of graves in, the national cemeteries marked "unknown" grave3 of men who would rather starve than Defray their trust, who died rather then violate their oath of allegience, ought to be a sufficient refutation of the charge that the treatment of Jefferson Davis while a prisoner was "persecution unparalleled in atrocity and bitterness. We cannot prevent the erection of monuments to the memory of those who attempted to destroy the nation, but we can and should erect enduring monu ments to the memory of those who saved the nation from destruction when assailed by traitors.
