TRIBUTE OF A NATION ! GENERAL GRANT'S MEMORIAL TOMB FORMALLY DEDICATED. Only Once IJcforc In the World Hat There Been So Imposing a Demonstration j Upon the Iteinterinent of a Great Man. ; An Inspiring Spectacle. New York, April 28.—With pomp and pageantry, ceremony and solemnity, the , memorial tomb of General Ulysses S. j Grant on Riverside drive, overlooking j the historic Hudson, has been formally i dedicated and delivered as a sacred J trust to the metropolis of the nation, in : the maintenance of whose unity and j integrity he was such a potent factor. | Referring to the great pageant. Sec- j retary of State Sherman said: "As the blood of martyrs was the seed of the church, the lessons of the Grant celebration will be an inspiration to the patriotism of the rising genera tion."

The greatest of our citizens, our sol- I diers and our sailors stood side by side J with men of fame from almost every j nation of the earth and paid without : regard to race or creed or party preju dice the last and long delayed honor of the living to the dead; while the greatest throng that ever filled the city j of New York added its surging paens to the roar of belching guns and the j tramp of marching soldiers. And in that throng there was no north and no south, for since the soldier-president had said "Let us have peace" the gray had blended with the blue. The day dawned bright and dear, and there was no omen in the sky of the wind that in the afternoon well nigh j ruined for a time the land parade, lie fore the presidential party left the city to take part in the dedication ceremo- ! nies the Hag decked streets were black with people, who cheered vociferously as the great men drove by. When the tomb was reached* a strange sight met the eye. All around the oval, in the center of which stood the gray monument to Grant, were what seemed to be black hillocks. This somber background was ! formed by the thousands of spectators who filled the wooden stands, built up : from the ground on both sides of the tomb level with the steps which lead to its massive doors. To the south, where the loop around the oval met the Riv erside drive, there were two solid, som- , ber lines of humanity. On all four sides of the monument oval the stands were packed to overflowing, while fac ing those crowds there was the great mass of eager sightseers who had not j been officially provided for. Solemn Dedication Services. The solemn service of dedication j seemed to throw a strange hush over ' this vast throng. The president stood j bareheaded in the wind that now was : beginning to rise. He was heard (lis- | tinctly by the 5,000 persons who stood ! directly in front of him. General Por- I ter's oration in honor of the hero seem- j ed to impress the crowd less than the sight of that pale faced, bareheaded j president standing beside the widow of , the dead general, ex-President Cleve- | land and the grayheaded statesmen i and soldiers. It was their presence rather than their words that lent | solemnity to the occasion. And when it was all over, when May- i or Strong had formally accepted from the nation the trust of the tomb and when the president and his party dis- j appeared in the luncheon tent a sigh ; of relief went up from the crowd, for at j last the hero lay in the tomb befitting his renown and fittingly dedicated by | u grateful nation. While the land parade was waited for | after the conclusion of the ceremonies, j the sky became leaden, and the wind j rose until it almost howled around the j trees. The waters of the Hudson re- I fleeted the ashen hue of the sky, and j the great white ships that Moated on its ! bosom stood out in almost ominous re- ! lief. The dusty roadbed of the drive j was whipped up until black coats be- I came brown, and spectators forsook their unsheltered seats for the protec- I tion of the tomb pillars. Then suddenly under the cloud of ! dust, from the south between the two black lines of people which seemed to ! meet in the perspective, came the nod- \ ding plumes of the soldiers. On they marched, at I less line of white and red and blue and gray. First passing on the west side of the monument oval and then returning on the north road j under the monumental arch, passed the president in review, and then back j again into the black background of hu- i inanity and the white clouds of dust. ' I '(trade Reviewed by the l'reaidcitt. Surrounded by his cabinet, his gen- ! erals and his friends, President Mc- j Kinley stood and reviewed the grandest j military pageant ever seen in this city. There were regular soldiers, regular j sailors, national guardsmen of the sea end land forces, Grand Army veterans. Confederate veterans and the strip- I lings wliu in the future will fight as j gallantly as their fathers did. When the vheering was at its loudest and when the wind had somewhat died away, a touching scene was enacted which was seen by few. Silently Mrs. Grant stole away from the president's reviewing stand, where sin- had been watching the gallant troops go by, and, I leaning on the arm of her son. Colonel | I Fred Grant, made her way to the tomb, followed only by the members of the I ; Grant family. The bronze doors were I swiftly opened, and the widow of the hero passed from the noise and windy I chilliness of the outside world into the I dim quiet of the tomb. For about 10 ! minutes she staid there, and then. J with her face hidden in her hands, she j left the scene which crowned her hus : band's victories. Soon after this President McKinley went aboard the Dolphin amid the ! booming of guns and reviewed the great I warships that lay in the shadow of the j tomb. The dense crowds still staid in ] their seats and watched the end of the I land parade. A brown hue now per j vaded everything, and in the dusk sol i diers, spectators, leafless trees and even j the tomb itself looked strangely som | ber In their coverings of dust. Then, j when the last company had passed out I of sight of the white roadbed, the lnm- 1 dreds of thousands of spectators sought their homes, j While the surging crowds were still I trying to seek their homes an elaborate I reception to President McKinley wa.. in progress at the Union League club. I' was practically the consummation < i ■ the day's ceremonies, the conoentr: . >n of the eloquence of the day. Scarcely a hitch occurred in the whole ' arrangements of this great demonstra tion. the committee's programme being ( carried out as already given in these j dispatches. Jt is estimated that fully 1,000,000 per- j sons sat and watched for hours the 53,- I 000 troops that passed in review. It j was such a gorgeous sight that no dust j or no wind could check the enthusiasm |of the onlookers, many of whom were compelled to walk out to the park, and thousands of whom came from far dis tant cities. For such a huge congrega tion of people the casualties were com- j , paratlvely few. When night fell and the greatest of military, naval and civic parades ever seen here was at an end. the city as | sumed a gala aspect. The streets were full of bright uniforms of all nations, while sightseers from every part wan- I dered from place to place and discussed the wonders of the day. Once before in the history of the j world has such a ceremony been enact I |ed over the reinterment of a great man. ! i This only other instance was when the j body of Napoleon was brought back ! from its British grave and finally laid j Ito rest in French soil. The scenes of ; j yesterday were almost a parallel of i j that ceremony in Paris, when royalists j i and republicans alike joined in- one J great triumphal pageant in honor of the j I first consul, forgetting their grief over i his death in the honor of his splendid j memory. An old Frenchman who < | watched from an obscure corner the j tribute to General Grant and who not , only served under him, but saw the sec- j ond burial of Napoleon, shouted with j Gallic fervor and enthusiasm as the l New York state troops passed by: "Great are Grant and Napoleon! ! Honored only among all men in such a way!" McKinley'* Tribute to Grant. i The following is the text of President ! McKinley's eloquent eulogy of General Grant: F( il'.iw Citizens—A pr at life, dedicated to the welfare of the nation, here finds its earthly coronation, liven if this day larked the Inqm ssiveucss of ceremony and was devoid of pageantry, it would still be memorable, because it is the unni- : versary of the birth of one of the mest famous and best beloved of American sol diers. Architecture lias paid high tribute to tin? leaders of mankind, but never was a memorial more worthily bestowed or more ; gratefully accepted by a free people than i the beautiful structure before which we j are gathered. In marking the successful completion of tliis work we have us witnesses and par ticipants representatives of all branches | of our government, the resident officials ! of foreign nations, the governors of states i and the sovereign people from every sec- j tlou of our common country, who join in | this august tribute to the soldier and pa- I , triot and citizen. Almost 12 years have passed since the i heroic vigil ended and the brave spirit of ! Ulysses S. Grant fearlessly took its Might. ! | Lincoln and Stanton had preceded him, : but of the mighty captains of the war Grant was the first to be called. Sherman I and Sheridan survived him. but have since joined him on the other shore. The great j j heroes of the civil strife on land and sea i arc for the most part how no more. Thom -1 as and Hancock, Logan and McPherson, i ! Farragut, Dupont and Porter, and a host i of others have passed forever from hu- ; man sight. Those remaining grow dearer 1 to us. and from them and the memory of ! | those who have departed, generations* yet : tinhorn will draw their inspiration and ' j gather strength for patriotic purpose. I A great life never dies. Great deeds are ; Imperishable, great names Immortal. Gen eral Grant s services and character will ; continue undiminished in influence and advance in the estimation of mankind so long as liberty remains the cornerstone of i free government and integrity of life the I guarantee of good citizenship, j Faithful and fearless as a volunteer ' I soldier, intrepid and invincible as com- I 1 mander in chief of the armies of the ! Union, calm and confident as president of j a reunited and strengthened nation, which i his genius had been instrumental in 1 achieving, he lias our homage and that of I the world: but. brilliant as was his public I I character, we love him all the more for ' ids home life and homely virtues. His in dividuality, his bearing and speech, his ! simple ways, had a flavor of rare and i unique distinction, and ids Americanism was so true and uncompromising that his name will stand for all time as the em i hodiment of liberty, loyalty and national : unity. ! Victorious in the work which under di vine Providence he was called upon to do. I clothed with almost limitless power, lie was yet one of the people, patient, patri ! otic and just. Success did not disturb the even balance of his mind, while fame I was powerless to swerve him from the , path of duty. Great as lie was in war he loved peace and told the world that hon i arable arbitration of differences was the > best hope of civilization. With Washington and Lincoln, Grant lias an exalted place in historv and the affections of the people. Today his mem ory is held in equal esteem by those whom i he led to victory and by those who ac j copted his generous terms of pence. . The veteran leaders of the blue and the gray here meet not only to honor th" nam.- of the departed Grant, but to testify I . to the living reality of a fraternal na tional spirit which has triumphed over the diffeienees of the past and transcends the I limitations of sectional lines, its com- j pletion. which we pray God to speed, will ' be the nation's greatest glory. It is right, then, that General Grant • should have a memorial commensurate ! I with his greatness and that his last rest- I lag place should be the city of his choice | to which no was attached in life and of | whose ties lie was not forgetful even in death. Fitting, too. is it that the great i soldier should sleep beside the noble river on whose banks he first learned the art of war. of whit h lie became master and I ad (•-. without a rival, j But let us not forget the glorious dis tinction with which the metropolis among , the fair sisterhood of American cßlcs has I honored his life and memory. With all that riches and sculpture ran do to render I tiie edifice worthy of the man. upon a site unsurpassed for magnificence, has this . monument been reared by New York as . a perpetual record of his illustrious deeds ■in the certainty that as time passes around It will assemble, with gratitude and reverence and veneration, men of all climes.**aces and nationalities. New York holds In its keeping the pre cious dust of tiie silent soldier, but Ids achievements, what he and Ids brave com rades wrought for mankind, are in the keeping of 70,000,000 of American citizens, who will guard the sacred heritage for ever and rorevermore. j SEVENTY LIVES- LOST. FRENCH BRIGANTINE STRUCK BY AN ICEBERG AND IS SUNK. The 111 I-'uted Vaillant llad on Board Mauy Fishermen oil Their Way to St. Pierre -Four Picked lp at Sea After Terrible Sutleriug and I'rivatiou. St. Pierre, Miquelon, April 28.—Four men, whose arms hud been frozen and whose faces were drawn by the hunger which had driven them to cannibalism have been brought here by the French barkentine Victor Eugene. They were all who survived of the company cf 78 of the brigantlne Vail !ant, bound from St. Malo, France, to this port, which struck an iceberg on April 16 and alum; t iiumedi itely foun -1 dered. They were transierred to the hospital. They are nearly dead from hunger and exposure, and it will be necessary to amputate their arms. The Vaillant sailed from old iSt. Malo a montli a,. . Her passengers were fishermen WHO were on their way to I work 1 r th • companies which send I out smack: for c dfish. These flsher- I men come ov. r f.um France every sea eon and return to .heir homes to spend the winter. The wretched surviv rs are hardly, able to tell of llie sufferieg and the pri vai• >n which they ha\ undergone. The j vessel was on th- Grand banks, in the I region of fog and ••old. The lookout on | the night of . ill 16 saw a cloud of green mist - Gore him, which became a glistening v all. Before he could give a cry of alarm there was a crash, and the bow of the vessel curled up like a thing of pasteboard, and a blow as of a great hammer shook the craft from j truck to keelson. The men rushed from forecastle and hold. They felt the deck settling be neath their feet. Masses of ice broken from the berg fell upon the forecastle head and shot over the greasy planks. There was a cry for the boats, a fren | zied search in the storeroom and galley : for water and provisions and a life and death scramble for the boats. Dying of Hunger and Cold. ! One of the boats was swamped. The I fate of another is unknown. The third. I the dingy, contained seven men. They : had provisions for only two days. The j j slender rations gave out. The air was I intensely cold. The thinly clad men, j chilled to the bone and weak from lack j of food, barely kept the boat's head I to the sea. i One of them, a white haired old fish ' erman. who had sailed from St. Malo i for many years, died on tlie third day, j and his b<:iy was thrown overboard, j A second died on the morning of tin fourth day, and benumbed arms com ; mitted him to the sea. ; A third died, and his body rested up on the seats. The survivors looked at i the stiffen? 1 form of their comrade. | They r„pad the same thought in each other's eyes. They exchanged no words, j Cannibalism was added to the priva tions of the sea. Two others followed I him the next day. ! The barkentine Victor Eugene sight jed a boat on Monday. The skipper thought he saw the bodies of men lying across the thwarts. He sent a boat. The four men, who, from weakness and the cold, could hardly lift their heads, were taken from tiie dingy. The men were well cared for by the crew of the barkentine. They were transferred to the hospital as soon as the Victor Eugene reached her pier. It is doubtful if the men in their weaken ; ed condition will survive the shock of : amputating their arms, j The Vaillant was a wooden brigan • tine of 158 tons. She was built at Shel | bourne, N. S.. by W. S. Kelly. Her owners were L. Coste & Co. of this I port. She was ( .)4 feet long. 25 feet beam and 10 feet in depth. Her port of , registry was St. Malo. She was com manded by Captain Pierre.

IA CRISIS IN ATHENS. | KING GEORGE MAY BE FORCED TO ABDICATE HIS THRONE. Revolutionary Sentiment and Disorder Prevail In tlie Aneient Hellenic Capital. Talk ol' the Formation of a Greek Re public -Latest Phases of the War. London, April 28.—The past week has been fraught with stirring events in Greece—events of such disastrous mo ment as to threaten the very existence of the Hellenic kingdom. Aside from disasters in the field, there have been dissensions at the capital, and it is not unlikely that King George may be forced to abdicate. Prince Constantino, in command of the Greek troops in Thessaly, after being routed at Larissa, has been su perceded by General Smolensk!. The Turks in great force are marching on Volo, an important Greek seaport town, and the campaign in Thessaly is now practically ended by the disastrous de feat of the Greeks. Everything now points to the speedy conclusion of the war by the interven tion of the powers. Everything sent on from Athens by the special correspondents emphasizes the increasing gravity of the situation there and the rapid development of revolutionary feeling. This condition of things appears to have resulted largely from the cessation of hostilities in Eplrus. While there is no doubt that the Turks are occupied in establishing their lines of communication, it is equally evident that the Greek disaster in Kpirus is much more serious than was at first supposed. It now looks like a hopeless task to renew the advance upon Janina, as Turkey is in a position to send overwhelming re-enforcements. It is asserted that the irregulars co operating with the Greek forces show up in a very had light, as mere bandits, more intent on plunder than fighting. The correspondent of The Standard at Athens says: "I understand that the Greek cam paign in Epirus has been suspended for the time being. On account of events here the king has induced the minister of marine to retain his office for the present. The rumor that Al. Ralli had been summoned to form a cabinet is untrue. According to an official note, the king told Al. Delyannis that he would for the future refrain from in terfering in any way with the direction of the campaign. "Considerable excitement has been caused in the city by the presence in the streets of large numbers of re servists, whom the authorities had neg lected to provide with arms and ammu nition or with uniforms. They are highly incensed at being thus kept idle while the Turks are advancing. A strong band, numbering nearly 500, pil laged a gunsmith's shop at the corner of Hermes street. There were no police in sight, and the reservists completely wrecked the shop. At the same mo ment another gang of rioters pillaged two larger shops in the next street without a single arrest. "Great crowds then went to Palace square, where they overheard the ring leaders of the reservists inciting the people to acts of violence by assuring them that there were no troops left in the palace. Among tlie discontented reservists the most incensed are the Greeks from Turkey, who explain that it is absolutely useless for them to re turn to Turkey without arms, as they are certain to be massacred. "I have had an interview with M. Delyannis. He assured me that no communication had yet been exchanged between Greece and the powers. I gathered from his remarks that Greece is chiefly desirous of a rectification of the northern frontier in accordance with the treaty of Berlin, and that if this were done the government would then accept autonomy for Crete under a European guarantee." Mauos' Victories Hi Fplrus. Athens, April 28. —Colonel Manos has telegraphed from Arta as follows: "Fighting has been in progress at Penlepighadia since morning. The re sult is not known here. The Greek troops occupied stronger positions in the pass. Another engagement took place at Plaka,_the result of which is not yet known, since the enemy main tains his position, though the Greek artillery has inflicted great damage at the villages of Kalentzi and Fortosi, where the Turks were concentrated. The Turks left the route from Fentepi ghadia to Janina open. The Greek cav alry reconnoitered without encounter ing the enemy until about eight hours' ride from Pentepighadia, when they met 300 Turks, who fired upon the Greeks, though without effect. "The Turks have abandoned the en tire Lourches valley and the country around Souli. The situation at Pre vesa is satisfactory. The Turks appear to be much discouraged, and their gar rison lias been diminished by wholesale desertions. We need re-enforcements and mountain batteries. We have cap tured large quantities of ammunition, especially for artillery use, in the posi tions abandoned by the Turks." Prince Ferdinand Denounced. Sofia, April 28. —A large open air meeting of Macedonians has been held here, at which many Bulgarians were present. The speakers denounced the policy of the government and accused Prince Ferdinand of culpable inactivi ty. They declared that the present Rus sophile policy of Bulgaria could do nothing but work injury to the coun try. The crowd undertook to get up a demonstration in honor of the Greek diplomatic agent, but the police inter fered. Talk of a Grecian Republic. Athens, April 28.—Popular feeling points to a revolution in favor of a republic. The citizens are greatly ex cited at the revelations made by Former Minister Ralli as to the conduct of the campaign. Large meetings have been held in Constitution square and other places of public resort, and fiery ha rangues have been delivered by well known orators in denunciation of "those who would betray Greece." Osuian at Salonika. Salonika, April 26.—Osman Pasha ar rived here and was received with great enthusiasm. He went forward at once to the scene of conflict. Greek subjects here, on agreeing to place themselves under the Turkish authorities upon cer tain conditions, will be allowed to re main. V w. L.
