CA AS A a ii a Rt Rags i NAVAL PARADE —_—— THE GREAT IN THE NEW YORK HARBOR, gp A Sight That Will Never Be Forgotten. Americans Note With Pride the Fine Showing Made By Our Fleet. meres ‘ At the New York Quarantine Wednesday morning the International fleet assembled for the naval review, the ships of svhich as they sailed in out of the mists of the day be- fore looked like so many pbsntoms, were in the glorious sunshine of this morning bright and majestic realities, representing the sovereignty of i0 nations and ; the great idea of international fraternity. o It was shortly afer 3 o'clock When Ad- miral Gherardi's flagship gave the preli- minary signal to break anchor and to fall into line. The start was made so promptly that thousands of spectators who had gath- ered to witness the spectacle from the Nave- gink Highlands and the heights of Fort Wadsworth, and other points of advantage on Staten Island, had hardly taked up posi- tion before the guus of Fort Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth boomed their welcome to the advancing fleet. The time occu- the Philadelphia announced that the anch- orage ground had been reacned and almost instantly a gun boomed on the Chicago and the anchors of the 12 American Spips dropped as if released by electricity. The foreign vessels slowed down and steamed to positions opposite the escorting vessels of our fleet. tai THURSDAY'S DEMONSTRATION. It Was Unparalleled. The Metropolis Is Shaken by a Mighty Thunder as Na- tions of the Earth Honor The United States of America in Baluting Its President. In the New York harbor on Thursday ten nations saluted the President of tie United States as he reviewed the greatest fleet ever gathered in western waters. Twice 38 times 21 guns in the hearing of 1,000,000 spectators, told the story of the navies of the world assembled to celebrate a victory of peace. There was no need of sunshine to make the spectacle an inspiring one. The long line of men-of-war, dressed in bunting the ensigns of the different nations, but at the main peak of all the emblem of liberty, manned at rail and ratline and yard-arm 1.000 steam vessels, gay with flags and streamers, and with crowded decks, massed for three miles against the shore of the BANTA MARIA, FLA GSHIP OF COLUMBUS. ied in passing the forts was exactly half an our. The ships,after passing theNarrows,enter- ed the upper bay and the fleet of excursion steamers and yachts and'big boats fell in and became a volunteer escort, A SCENE OE GRACE AND BEAUTY, The scene then became one of combined grace. animation and beauty, never to be forgotten. ‘The absence of cannonading left the air clear, and every outline of the magnificent ships showed luminous silhou- ette against the cloudless sky, The flags of the different nationalities and even the names of the ships were clearly discernible irom either shore. The fleets were preced- ed by navy yard tugs and patrol steamers, whose duty it was to keep the course clear. The rear was brought up by four revenue cutters. No vessels of any kind were allow- ed to break through the line. The ships steamed up the river until the Philadelphia and the Blakereached a point opposite Kighty-nioth street, when the signal was givento anchor. The rear of the double line was opposite West Thirty-fourth street, and was heid by the Miantonomah. The Hudson. The hills and housetops, as far as the eye could reach were black with human- ity. Nature, in her brighter mood, might have added color to the pageant; she could not have added to its impressiveness. The concourse of people that made a part of it, the nations directly represented in it; the triumphs of naval architecture which were its frame work; the display of the muni- tions of maritime warfare which entered into it; the state lines of ceremony which guided it; in short, the very weight and ponderousness of the purely human ele- ments which composed it, made it a spec- tacle sublime even against a leaden sky, and a cloud bounded horizon. It celebrat- ed one of the greatest of human achieve- ments. It was itself the culmination, in its wonderful marshaling of diverse activities, of all the greatest human achievements. It was emblematic of war. It was prophetic of peace. : ” : : 0 be = % - . v 7; ‘= E 1 z Zz : - [Ei | i 3 f ee 5 4 « ! v : 8 cv re. = ! -~ > * ce ee ede Ne Cx / a : ‘ on, a o RE - oF 4 J 3 : vv. - . pd Bree = = : : = = — —_— = ¢ TY y ir — z a : —_— UNITED STATES STEAMSHIP BALTIMORE. Dolphin remains off Twenty-second street, until the President boards her to review the ships. the fleet came out of the Narrows and straightened the lines to come up the upper bay, the sight was a brilliant one. Every ship in the harbor was tiying every bit of bunting it could get togetner, and the buildings in the lower part of the city were decorated with flags of all nations. Steam whistles were screeching, and the battery wall and all the housetops and other places, from which the river could be seen, were black with people. As the leaders in the parade got opposite Governor's Island, the battery in the old fort began a salute, and the fleet steamed along half hidden for a few minutes inthe smoke from the cannon. The ships dipped their flags in answer, but did not return The only thing that in any way marred the brilliancv and enjoyment of the event was the weather. New York awoke to find a steady downpour of rain ushering in the day. A chilly wuorthwest wind added to the discomfort and several hundred thousand people were sadly disappointed. There was also great disappoinntent on the squadrons anchored below the Palisad- es. The crack ships of 10 nations had been Pu in readiness for their part of the cele- ration. Their hulls had heen painted. their decks holystoned, their brasswork Polished until it shone, and their guns had een cleared for far different work than their makers intended—the cementing of peaceful relations, instead of the havoc of war. Dress uniforms were abandoned for storm coats and the jack tars instead of be- ing in holiday rig were in everyday attire. —— Re le - THE VESUVIUS, DYNAMITE CRUISER. Te Tama with cannon. As the Philadelphia reached Liberty Island the big ironclad monitor Miantonomoh. which lay between the barge office and Governors Island, fired a salute of 21 guns in honor of the unvailing of the Ericsson statue. It was very timely for it sajuted the fleet as well. The Blake, with her two great tapering buff-colored smoke stacks and majestic mien, caught the fancy of the crowd. She moved along as if hel i in check and appear- ed to be goingslowly,although she was mak- ing nine miles in an hour. She carried a guard flag, a white field crossed with crim- son bars, at her foremasthead and floated the naval ensign of Great Britain at her spanker gat.

A few minutes later the signal boat Cushing steamed along the line and informed each vessel that the review had. been postponed until 1 p. m. This postponement was crder- ed by Secretary of the Navy Herbert at the suggestion of President Cleveland.

The United States agricultural station in Parkersburg has issued the following bulle- tin on West Virginia crops: The excellent progress made in the growth of vegetation and crops during the first and second weeks of April has n considerably checked the past week by cold winds and frost; wheat and oats were the least affected, Farming operations were discootinged ors account of cold, wet weather. In Roane county hail damaged growing “vegetation; hail in Barber county injured fruit an garden vegetables; in Lewis county hail damaged garden vegetation. The week asa whole has ben an unfavorable one for the farmer and his products. All crops need more sunshine and warm weather. The temperature was below the normal in all sections. Frosts have not injured vegetation to any great extent as yet deter— mined. Frosts aud continued cold weather combined have hindered the growth of fruit generally; the kiliing of early fruit, especially peaches, on low lands is reported; ro preceptib e damage to grains \ The rainfall was above the normal. Sun- shine averazed about 30 per cent. In wheat and oats, although not rapid.the growth has been a healthy and good: one; notwithstanding the cool and cloudy weath- er the acreage of oats will be larger than for several years; not all sowed yet, prevented by rain.

Secretary Carlisle’s Expectations Cone cerning the West. It is said at the treasury department at ‘Washington that Secretary Carlisle expects more from his visit to Chicago than from his visit to New York in the way of future supplies of gold for the treasury reserve. He was very much impressed, it is stated, with the summary of the reports from the national banks as to the amount of gold on hang, called for last month, prepared for him by Comptroller Hepburn, as showing that while the banks east of the Alleghen- jes held $39,000,000 in‘gold the banks west of the Alleghenies held $54,000,000 in gold. He was struck with the contrast of the gold holding of the New York national banks, given as $12,438, 652 and the gold-holding of the Chicago national banks, $14,824,600. The secretary is said to have been greatly Jeased with these reports as indicating that 1e was not dependent on the New York banks. The ficures have been arranged 1 him in several interesting statements, suc as the following, with the understanding of course that thev apply only to national banks, but are indicative of the whereabouts of the gold. Gold in western cities $27 ,604,- 840; in eastern cities, §24.411.774; in western states, $25,541,002; in eastern states, $16,708,- 5 cities which have heavy stocks of gold, whle New York is the first of eight large eastern cities with large supplies of gold.

Sir Jobn Hopkins, the Briti<h Admiral, was first received. Next came vice Admiral Koznakoff, the Russian Admiral; Year Admiral DeLibran, of France, and Rear Admiral Magnaghi, of Italy. The Spanish Admiral, Senor Y.

These visits formed one of the most interesting features of the day. Fifteen minutes before the reception end- ed, and when the President was preparing to land, an admonitory signal was given from the Dolphin,and as he left the vessel, and entered his barge, every vessel in the fleet again manned yards and rails, and once more fired a salute of 21 guns, follow- ing the Dolphin’s lead. Then the Presi dent's flag was lowered from the Dolphin, and the ceremonies of the day were consid. ered over, As soon as the Dolphin passed out from between the anchored fleet. the cordon was broken and private steamers and yachts above the river front could not, of course, be rushed in, When the smoke bad partially tee, who escorted the more ‘Hail to the Chief,” the only piece Gilroy advanced to meet him. formal introduction the President and his party were escorted tothe box they wereto | ton, W.
