got off without damage. At 3 o'clock
this morning the dispatch boat Grille
entered the- lock nt ISrunsbuttel, the
western extremity of the canal nnd
went through as a scout, examining th.
banks and locks, and taking sound
ing:) In order to prevent, It possible, tho
occurrence of an accident when the.
great parade navigated the canal to
Kiel.
Long before the hour art for the
rt-artlng of the parade every available
space along the river front was packed
by eager crowds, all anxious to see the
emperor, the German princes and the
other royal personages, than which a
larger gathering has never been seen
in this pant of the empire.
The scene, as the emperor and four of
Ills eldest Bonn drove along the river
front hist evening to embark on the
Imperial yacht llohenzollern, was ono
to be hang remembered. Everything
callable of being decorated bore masses
of flagu and varl-colorcd bunting, nnd
the crowd filled with holiday fervor,
cheered incessantly U3 the emperor
and princes passed. The Hohenzollern.
passed Into the western waiter gate at
3.15 o'clock this morning.
As the Hohenzollern passed Into the
canal, the entrance to wlil,:h was be-tlaggi-d
at every point, a salute was
tired by a park of artillery stationed a
little distance from the entrance to the
lock, while the soldiery, composed of
cavalry. Infantry and pioneers, lining
both banks, presented arms. At the
same time a military band played the
German national anthem.
An Ovation to the Kmpcror.
The approaches were crowded with
military, students, visitors and resi
dents of the vicinity, who cheered
loudly. The emperor was on deck nnd
he bowed in response to the ovation he
received, exhibiting much emotion.
The Hohenzollern nt 4 o'clock cut the
th.vead which hud been stretched across
the entrance to the canal, and began
her passage through to Kiel, the bands
on shore playing national airs and the
crowds cheering.
The other vessels in the. procession
followed In this order:
The yacht Kalsradler having on
board Prince Lultpold, regent of Ha
varia, the King of Saxony, the King of
Wurte-mlierg, und Grand Duke Alix, of
Russia. Then came the north German

Tho AlnrMchoad Sails.
At 1.30 o'clock last night every one
who- expected to go through the canal
on tho American eruittc-r Marblehead,
wns on board that vessel, though she
did not leave her berth until this morn
ing. The Marblehead sailed slowly
down the Kibe and anchored at Hruns
butlel tit 0 o'clock, awaiting her turn
to go Into the canal.
The Marblehead Is very popular, ow
ing to the fact that her ofllcers h ive
shown every possible courtesy to vis
itors, and she was cheered last evening
by the occupants of hundreds of Bteam
and elcctrlo launches and thousands of
people on shore.
At 11.30 p. m. llohonzollern was In
night of the Holtenau locks, at the east
rnd of the canal. The Immense crowd
of people who had assembled on the
Holtemau fostplat. to witness the spec
tacle set up a mighty cheer as the Im
perial yocht was sighted.
Five minutes later she had steamed
up to the locks, which she entered tit
12.35. The emperor stood upoti the high
bridge, beyond the ma.rtm.'ist, attired
In the full uniform of an admiral of the
German navy, (suggesting the well
known picture "With full steam
ahead." Tho bands of tho regular and
veteran troops struck up "Hell d'er
Rlegerkranz," which the Kaiser ac
knowledged by a salute.
Imperial Salute I'lrcd.
At 12:40 all the ships In the bay fired
an Imperial salute. It was a grand
epectacle. On each side of the lock was
drawn up a company of the First Foot
guards of Potsdam, with a band, nnd a
company of the Kalserins Flensburg
regiment were lined on the north shore
In front of the hn.-bor ofllca, with the
marine bands. The admirals and Ben-
crals stood upon the center ramparts
which d!vlden the sections of tho lock.
Immense crowds kept up continuous
chewing as the Hohenzollern passed
through . and went to 'her anchorage,
followed by the Kulseradler. The har
bor-was teeming with pleasure boats
of every description, which swarmed
about the warships, tho American ves
sels receiving their full share of atten
tion. As the Kniser Wllhelm was passing a
point near Levensau she ran aground,
compelling all the vessels behind her
to stop. She got alloat later and ar
rived at Kiel at S o'clock,, followed at
short intervals by the other vessels tak
ing part in the procession. A largo
number of llrltlsh und German soldiers
were given shore leave this evening and
are enjoying themselves hugely in the
fashion of sailor men.

Post Winter Has llccn I-nvoraMo for
Journeys to tho North Pole.
.Philadelphia, June 20. That the past
winter In tlreenlaiid was unusually mild
nnd that everything favored Lleulen
nnt Peary's expedition to the far north
was the news brought to thii- city today
by the barks Silicon and Salinn, the
first of the licet of Kvrollte traders to
arrive from Ivlgtut. Although Eskimos
were seen who had Journeyed well up In
the vicinity of McCormlck'a Hay, none
of them had seen or heard of Peary or
any other white -men. It is said that
even In nild-wlnter the Greenland coast
wa. not choked with ice, as Us usual,
while the brilliancy of tho aurora made
the long winter nights almost like day.
Despite the pleasant weather experi
enced In Greenland, the Kyrollte suf
fered Intensely with the cold during the
homeward voyage.
The first news of the total loss of the
Danish bark, Ice 'nr, from Copenhagen-
for Greenland., was also brought
by the above vo.isels. While near Cape
Desolation, south const of Greenland,
an Iceberg suddenly came down and
crushed her to pieces. For weeks the
crew lived with the Esquimaux until
they reached a Danish settlement, and
were 'taken back to Denmark on the
government steamer Thetis.
All the fleet of Kyrollte carriers were
cufo when the Silicon sailed on May 26.

Two Strangers Attack n I'nrm llonso Ono
Dlan Killed,
Port Jervls, N. Y., June 20. News has
Just been received here from Sussex
county, Montague township, N. J., of a
fatal shooting affray.
At the cross-roads near the river live
two men by tho name of Helm. On
Tuesday night lost two men attacked
the Helm residence, but were driven
awny after a number of shots had been
exchanged. On the following dny, dur
ing the nltsence of the two brothers, ths
two men returned and renewed the at
tack. Thru was no on at home, except
a boy employed about the farm by the
Helm brothers. Th-e boy seized a shot
gun and again- drove tho men off tho
place, following them as far as tho
woods ntarby, where the two strangers
made a stand. A number of shots were
exchanged, during which one of tho
men fell d-.?ad. His companion carried
his body to a wagon, drawn by two
horses, nearby, and drove rapidly
away. The boy, who was uninjured,
gave himself up to Magistrate Sanford
NearpaM,' of Kparebush, a suburb of
Port Jervls. 'Squire Nenrpnss went to
the scene of the shooting, but no clew
could be found to the identity of the
strangers.

The price of a Vote.
Tunkhannock, June 20. When the
session of the commission Inquiring
Into Judicial contest adjourned for the
night las; evening, eighty witnesses
had been upon the stand. That was
coni -iderably below the average for the
other days of the week, for Stenog
rapher Coston is quick and business
like In his methods, and dallying Is not
allowed, unless unavoidable, lie was
called home hy a t"h gram announcing
the serl'iii" Illness of li!s father, and his
place will be taken tomorrow morning
by Stenographer Arihtir Head.
Tii witnesses today were mostly
Eirmmoned by counsel for the respond
ent, Judge Dunham, and to tile rurprlse
of many there was mure apparent
crookedness, utivel"d (h it at any other
.'-essioii. Mi-r than, twenty witnesses
testified to receiving from $1 to $5 for
their vote, several had ben offered
money and refused it,' while others
were merely treated to whisky or cigars.
There were, also, quite a number of In
stances where voters had neglected to
pay tax, or had been born in a foreign
country and never took out naturaliza
tion papers. The total number of Il
legal voles discovered flnii far by the
respondents Is apparently about forty,
while those on the opposing side will
probably not exceed a iiur.--!i.
It depends in either case upon what
may be brought out by the witnesses
call. ,1 for rebuttal. If thr-.-e figures
prove correct Judge f-ittser will be the
loser In his own counfy by the contest.
That there has be en a great deal of rot
tenness connected with the elections In
tills county is tho unavoidable conclu
sion of every thinking man who hears
the evidence.
