He Glvea "The CltUen" an Inter- eatluic Outline ot Hln Recent Trip Across the Water, and Hla Imprennlons) orttomeTblnicH He Haw Off lo "Gombroon" Thin Afternoon. United States Senator Zcbulon U. Vance spent taat nilit and a part of to day in Asheville, stopping at the Swan nanoa. This was Senator Vaiac's first visit to Asheville since his return Irom his Kuro- SKNATOR Z. B. VANCE. pcan trip, extending over seven months. He passed through Asheville Monday on his way to Alexanders, where he spent a dav with his brother, Gen. Robert II, Vance, coming up to the city yesterday afternoon. He attended the banquet given Dill Nye at the Battery Park last night, ThkCitizkn called on the Senator at the Swannanoa this morning. The jovial son of old Buncombe has lost none of his cheery manner, and although feeling somewhat unwell, gave an outline of his recent trip. x ae i rip "Mrs. Vance, myself and my stepson, Mr. Harry Martin," the Senator said, 'left New York city on the 27th of May last, landing at Queenstown. We took a considerable tour through Ireland and England, spending three weeks in Lon don, visiting the interesting places in the great city. The next two weeks we spent in Scotland, then crossed to the Continent landing at Antwerp. Went up the Rhine to Mayence, then across the country to Bayreuth, where the Wagnerian festival was in progress, in which we partici pated. "After leaving Rnvreuth our tnur in cluded Nuremburg, Leipsic, Berlin, Dres den, I'rague and Vienna. .We crossed the Alps, going to Venice, then through Northern Italy across to Switzerland. Several weeks were spent in Switzerland, after which we took in Paris, sending the month ol September there. Our stay there was very pleasant and what we saw interested us vtrv much. On the first of October we left Paris for Rome, the eternal city, going through Italy, bv way of the Mt. Lenis tunnel, visiting enroute Genoa, Pisa, Florence and other cities. Two weeks were siicnt in Rome, and then we went to Naples for a weeks stay. The Pyramids) VlHlted. "Brindisi, in Italy, was our next inv portant stopping place, and at this point we shipped for Alexandria, Ugypt, While at Cairo we went out to the fym- mids, ten miles from the city, on the desert, consuming a day in the trip. We hnd planned and hoped to go to Jerusa lem, but the cholera was prevalent in Svria, and the entire coast of Palestine was under rigid quarantine, so that part ot our itinerary Had to lie anandoiicd Leaving Alexandria we went to Athens, then to Constantinople, from which city wc went across the continent, up the Valley of the Danube, and back to Pans. Then wc returned to London and from there to Liverpool, where we took passage on the steamer "Majestic," 01 mr vi one otur line, lur new lorn, arriving there on last Thursday morn ing, the 24th instant. That night we were back in Washington. "There, said the benntor, "is our trip in brief. Aside from the ordinary dis comforts of travel, and the inconvenience of staying in countries whose language we could not speak, our trip was a most enjoyable one. The railroad accommo dations, I found, were inlinitelv inferior to those of the United States. The ac commodations at the hotels of the old world, however, are very good, and their rates are not higher than those on this side the Atlantic. "In some respects Rome was the most interesting city which we visited. Egypt and the valley of the Nik claimed all our attention, and ot Constantinople 1 can scarcely sav enough. 1 have seen noth ing that can anproach it, Of the scen ery, that in the countries ol Ireland, Scotland and Switzerland was the most beautiful, all possessing a different order ol beauty. Woman In Germany. "The most striking thing in Europe was the armed preparations. There is the greatest standing army in the world. The able bodied men are all in the army while the pursuit of the industries is left to the old men, women and children. In the cities of Germany and Belgium it is common to see carts going through the streets with a woman on one side of the pole and a dog hitched to the other side. The carts are driven by women almost exclusively. "With the exception of Great Britain the agricultural implements are primi tive. Our improved plows, etc., are un known. In Egvpt the farmers still use the plows ot Pharaoh s time." Politically Upcasting. Turning to politics, Senator Vance said: "I am wofully behind on this sub ject. I have seen nothing on this line since I left America, except the events which were deemed important enough to be cabkd across the water. The papers beyond the Atlantic devote little space to news from the states. When I reached Washington congress bad adjourned, and so I have had little chance to post myself on politics. I will say, however, that I think Speaker Crisp an able and discreet man, and believe he will make a good speaker. There is some dissatis faction over his appointments on the committees, but not more, I think, than is usually exhibited over such events. "The foreign countries, I found, bent us in KoverninK cities. The jobbery mid corruption which too often scandalize the government of ourcities are unknown there. Rut One Country. "But, after all, there is but one coun try, and that is America. And I think the centre just about takes in Western North Carolina and good old Diincnmhe. I return to my native land with my pa triotism intensified, and am glad to see my old home again." Senator Vance left on the east bound train this afternoon for his country seat, "Gombroon," near Black Mountain, where he will sicnd several days, return ing to Washington by the filth of Janu ary, Mrs. Vance remains in Washington. A SURIOUB CHARUK. Andy Rlcker Arreated on a Mad I aon County Warrant. Andy J. Rieker, a young white man of I his city, was arrested this morning by Deputy Sheriff). M. Morgan and lodged in jail. The arrest was made under authority of a warrant issued by W.J. Gudger, a justice of the iience in Madison county, and sworn out by J. M. Randall. The warrant sets forth that Kicker and an other man of the name ol John Durham, not long ago entered Mr. I'andall's house and, with drawn pistols, de manded of Mr. Randall's daughter that she give up all the money in the house. The warrant does not state whether the men got any money, but that they frightened the family out of the house, and that before the men left they shot his dog. Ricker is the man who was arrested u week or more ago by Detective Hamp ton, and is now under bond to appear at the next term of Iluticomlic court to answer to a charge of larceny. 1 lie sheriff ot Madison has been noti fied that his man has been apprehended. REPIIHLICANS FAM.OUT, Merlonis Quarrel In the l"arlv In LoulHlaua. New Orleans, Dec. 2S. There is every probability that the split began in the republican ranks at New Orleans at the ate meeting of the Central committee will spread over the entire state, result- in" in two antagonistic state conven tions and opposing state tickets. The first parish committee to assemble, that of Baton Rouge, met yesterday and the usual quarrel and split followed. There were two tactions present, the Herwig and Warmoth factions. The latter wan led the committee to consider the lottery question, and when it refused to dri so liolted and held a separate meeting. 1 he majority determined to recognized the Ilerwig committee aad to send delegates to the convention called bv it. There seems to be little chance of healing the difference. New York Sun. BOUGHT BV A BYNDICATK. ioo,ooo Acred or Florida Land Changes Hsuils, Ciucaco, Dec. 30.

Belief That Garzla Hum a Iieflnlte Plan And a Promlae of Many RecrullM-TUe ReHPouHlbllllv of the United !tate. San Antonio, Dec. 30. The mili tary authorities of this department are of the belief that Garzia has a definite plan against Mexico that he will follow out. The Mexican authorities regard him with great fear as his work of the past three months shows them that he is a much more capable leader than they had supposed. Hib forces are known to be well organized. Cupt. ohn G.Burke.of the United States Third cavalry, says the whole Mexican population ot tiie border states are sympathizers, if not actual followers, in the revolutionary move ment. The discovery that Garzia has estab lished recruiting stations in several ol the frontier Texas counties complicates the affair and greatly increases the respon sibilities ol the United Statesgovernment in permitting a violation of the neu trality laws. A telegram from Monterey, Mex re ceived yesterday, stales that it is believed that Garzia has a strong secret following in that city who have made preparations to join him on the frontier. A stock of arms and ammunition there and at other points in Northern Mexico and in towns of the Texas frontier hayc been sold within the past three weeks and agents of the revo lution are said to be the purchasers, A despatch received here from Captain Wheeler, commanding United States troops at Fort Ringgold says: "I received yesterday by courier from Captain Bourke at Waliena, 78 miles above here, a message as follows: 'News has been received Irom Sheriff Hayes at Carizo Springs that Garzia has congre gated his baud, 250 strong, 12 miles north of Toiena. He is reported as bciug dcspcrale and will light. I have Hardic with 30 men; Brooks, of state rangers, with 13 men; Beach will join us with a troop of 34- men at Pinero and we may get word to G. troop of 40 meu h ho are at Carizo.' "Upon rcccpt of this intelligence I sent Langborne with 20 men enroute to the scene with other forces, to report to Cupt. Bourke." The troops of the cavalry stationed here are all lieing held in readiness lo proceed whenever ordered forward by the war authorities at Washington and orders are expected for the forward movement. It is expected that cav alry from other departments are also to be sent here Bhortly. SNOW BLOCKADE. AHtoniHlilnic News) From sunny New Mexico Trains slopped, Aliu'oi hrjiuu, N. M., Dec. 30.
