ItniMed by a New Yorker, (HUNCH a Decided Com mo tion—lt Was Finally Cut Down by the Local Authorities. Bar Ilarbor, Mo., Sept. s.—French man'H buy resounded with the booming of cannon yesterday morning, and as the echoes rolled along the mountains and the heavy smoke drifted away spectators could see inside the breakwater, under the lee of Bald Porcupine and Green mountain, the English squadron which had just arrived. Beyond Bur island, 300 yards up the coast in the larger buy, the white warships of the United States, all fluttering with Hags, with bands playing and small guns coughing smoky salutes, were paying a tribute of honor to the newly arrived sea fighters of Great Brit ain. It seemed like a sea fight, for both squadrons were belching finme and smoke at each other. Along shore crowds watch ed with interest the opening formalities between the squadrons of the two na tions. The scene had a delightful setting. There was no more wind than would give the tiniest ripple to the water. The sun light from the hills struck lighting top and tuffruil with brilliance, picked out the long double line of English marines with their red coats and white helmets and polished guns and crept toward the American fighters still in the morning shadows. The purple mountains in the distance, the far stretching water of the bay, the town gay with national colors, all made a pretty picture. The English squadron slipped in quietly to anchor. As the cables rattled down with splashes the American Hag went up at the mast head of the flagship Crescent. Then the band played "The Star Spangled Ban ner," and as the notes went through the still air to the throngs on shore cheer aft er cheer went up. Fnr|iiliar Greets Bedford. Immediately everything became busy. Boats were lowered and sent away with tars pulling lustily on the sweeps. As a great gathering of small craft grew up about the Crescent the barge of Admiral Farquhar came alongside. Vice Admiral Bedford was waiting to greet him at the head of the gangway. Admiral Farqu har was accompanied by Flag Lieutenant Benson and Aid Marshall. There was a brief exchange of compliments, and the American commanding officer returned to his barge, which waited with tossed oars while the Crescent fired the admiral's sa lute. Within the half hour Vice Admiral Bedford, accompanied by Flag Lieuten uut Streitfield and Flag Secretary Byron, steamed over to the New York, where similar formalities took place. A double line of marines and the officers of the fleet were waiting to greet the distin guished English visitors. The public reception to meet the two udmirals lasted two hours. It took place at St. Sail veil r, one of the leading hotels here. The large music room was draped with the flags of England and the United States. At least 1,500 persons came to pay their respects to Admiral Bedford and Admiral Farqulinr. The two officers stood side by side before an immense cluster of union jacks mingled with the stars and stripes. The reception was under the auspices of the hoard of trade. First Selectman Charles Wood introduc ed the visitors, and they came from ev erywhere. The reception was n tremendous suc cess, and Admiral Bedford said after ward that it was one of the heartiest receptions he had ever had. Last night Admiral Farquhar gave a formal dinner aboard the New York. It was entirely a naval affair. He wel comed Admiral Bedford, the captains and commanding officers of the two squadrons.

Just after the British ships dropped anchor an incident of more than ordinary interest occurred near the shore path, j Edward Van Ness of New York swung ! to the breeze from a staff on his lawn a large Boer flag and addressed his friends ' in denunciation of the British. The Hag raising made the people angry, and a J dozen volunteered to cut the pole down without further ceremony. Rear Admiral I Upshur, retired, was particularly vexed. ! Charles 11. Wood, chairman of the j board of selectmen, called on Mr. Van j Ness and politely requested that the flag be taken down, but Sir. Van Ness refus ed to grant the request. Chairman Wood, together with Dr. J. ' Madison Taylor, representing the board of trade, and two police officers then re turned to t£ Van Ness cottage and re newed the Wquost to have the flag re moved. Again the owner of the flag re fused and defied the officers to remove ! it. Mr. Wood thereupon applied the 4 knife to the halyards, and the Boer stand ard floated to earth amid the cheers of those assembled. Mr. Van Ness is a New Yorker and was one of the committee to receive the Boer commissioners when they visited this country. lie has been requested to j resign from the Gentleman's club.
