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.

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 main peak of all the emblem of liberty,

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. :

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

WEST VIRGINIA CROPS,
fn Fair Condition, Although Damage}
By Bad Weather.
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. Wheat thin and short on clay land.
Winter grain all right and continue prom
ising; no perceptible damage by frost.
Meadows, Pastures. BStock—Growth
grass checked by cold weather, but doin
well: clover killed in few localities; mes
ows in fair condition; grass has not
very much, stock generally looking wel
stock not sheltered have fallen off in flesh
lambs looking fine. . \
Corn—Planti prevented, the cool wet
weather having been a hindrance; very little
work done in preparing the soil; greater por-
tion of plowing finished, a full crop will be
lanted; in a few counties no corn has yet
een planted, delayed on account of unfa-
vorable weather.
Potatoes—A n unprecedented crop planted
coming up in some sections.
Tobacco—The general opinion is that
peaches have been great'y damaged by the
frost and continued cold weather combined
on low lands, if at all; same peach trees re-
ported killed; apples unhurt and the prose
pect favorable for large and good crop.
Cherries and plums have been injured and
probably killed in some sections; a numbet
of correspondents report the fruit safe and
promising an average crop. .
GOLD SUPPLY FIGURES.
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
