THE NATIONS REPRESENTED

President McKinley’s Patriotic Address
at the Tomb of the Dead Command-
I er—Oflicial Programme Car- ‘
ried Out to the Letter.

New York, April 28. —-The parade to-
day, judged by eve1y standard, was
one of the most pictuiesque events in
the history of the state or nation. The
Columbian parade pales into insignifi-
cance when compared to it. The great
gold standard parade was but a means

4 of comparison by which the patriot can

realize by contrast the magnitude of
today’s demonstration. Today not only
New York but the nation and repre-
sentatives of foreign powers partici-
pated in the ceremonies. To future
generations it will be the complement
and climax of the great army review
in Washington at the end of the war of
the rebellion. Then a divided nation
proclaimed Grant hero. Today a united
nation reveres his memory.

From all points of the Union the vis—
itors came to pay tribute to the illus-
trious dead. New York for the time
being lost its identity. It was the city
of the Union. Everywhere could be
seen groups who by their habiliments
betokened their strangeness to the me—
tropolis. Shoulder to shoulder with
them, as when the life of the Union was
at stake, were the citizens of New
York, as eager to pay tribute to the
memory of the dead as the zealous
Ohioan, who jealously claimed Grant as
a. product of his state.

An Unprecedented Crowd.
' From Union square to Riverside park
never was such a crowd seen. The cen-
tennial parade in this city a few years
ago is still vivid in the minds of all.
History recalls the dramatic public cer-
emonies incident to the placing of Na-
poleon’s remains in the tomb of the 111'-
valides, and men and women today re-

THE GRANT MONUMENT.

4 member how, in August, 1885, hundreds

of thousands of. people stood uncovered
in the streets of New York while the
funeral car, with its three miles of pro-
cession, escorted General Grant’s body
to the temporary resting place, near
stands.
Then the sheets were c1ouded but

'the assemblage today 11 as far more im—
gposing.

Broadway and Madison avenue pre-
sented a sight never before witnessed
As early as 8 o’clock people

of vantage on house tops or on stands.

From that hour the people appeared to

come in droves from all the side streets.

The crowd was as notable for its con-
There
was no unseemly crowding or jostling,

but all was good nature to a marked

degree. It was estimated that not less
than 50,000 people were assembled be-

tween Union square and Twenty-third
. street.

An equally vast multitude had
congregated at Central park, and the
Boulevard to Seventy-second street and
Riverside drive up to the tomb were
crowded.

The police arrangements for the man-
agement of the crowd were admirable.
The stranger in the city found attentive
and ob‘liging policemen, who w‘tare only

too willing to direct them to the placei'

they desired to visit.

The President’s Address.

’The following is the full text of Pres-

“Fellow Citizens—A great life, dedi-
cated to the welfare of the nation, here
finds its earthly coronation. Even if
this day lacked the impressiveness of
ceremony and was devoid of pageantry
.it would still be memorable because it
.is the anniversary of the birth of one
of the most famous and best beloved of
American soldiers.

b- z'lEL 0N TH E “WARPATH.

Ho Altai-ks Dr. 21.12511 l-'-m His Appoint-
ment of Lieiuenant Prehmann.

Berlin, April 28.—In the reichstag to-
day, during the debate on the budget
of the German protectorates, Herr Be-‘
bel, the Socialist leader, referring to the
trial of Dr. Peters, the former African
commissioner, who was sentenced on
Saturday last to dismissal from the in-
perial service and to pay the. costs of
his trial on charges of grossly abusing
his authority, hanging, whipping and
otherwise ill treating the natives in his
jurisdiction, said that the result justi-
fied his criticisms of the conduct of Dr.
Peters. Herr Bebel further expressed
regret'at the fact that Lieutenant Preh-
mann was not tried in conjunction with
Dr. Peters and attacked Dr. Kayser,
the director of the colonial office, who
appointed Dr. Peters.

Dr. Von Boetticher. the minister for
the interior, declared that, the disci-

 

gplinary ‘inquiry in the case had not yet

 

branches of our government, the resi- 2

dent officials of foreign nations, the

governors of states, and the sovereign ,

people from every section of our com- 1
mon country, who join in this august :

tribute to the soldier,,patriot and citi-
zen.

“Almost 12 years have passed since
the hemic vigil ended and the brave
spi1it of Ulysses S. Grant fearlessly
took its flight. Lincoln and Stapton
‘had preceded him, but of the mighty
captains of the war Grant was the first
to be called. Sherman and Sheridan
survived him, but have since joined
him on the other shore.

“The great heroes of the civil strife
on land and sea are for the most part
now no more. Thomas and Hancock,
Logan and McPherson, Farragut, Du—

pont and Porter and a host of others

have passed forever from human sight.
Those remaining grow dearer to us.
and from" them and .the memory of
those who have departed generations
yet unborn will draw their inspiration
and gather strength for patriotic .pur-
pose.

“A great life never dies. Great deeds
are 'imperishable; great names immor-
tal. General Grant’s services and char-
acter will continue undiminished in in-
fluence and advance in the estimation
of mankind as long as liberty remains
the cornerstone of free government and
integrity of life the guaranty of good
citizenship.

“Faithful and fearless as a volunteer
intrepid and invincible as com-
mander in chief of the armies of the
Union, calm and confident as president
of a reunited and strengthened nation
which his genius had been instrumental
in achieving, he has our homage and
that of the world, but, brilliant as was
his public character, we love him all
the more for his home life and homely
virtues. His individuality, his bearing
and speech, his simple ways, had a fia-
var of rare and unique distinction, and
his Americanism was so true and un-
compromising that his name will stand
for all time as the'embodiment of lib—
erty, loyalty and national unity.

A Man of the People.

“Victorious in the work which under
Divine Providence he was called upon
to do, clothed with almost limitless
power, he was yet one of the people-—
patient, patriotic and just. Success did
not disturb the even balance of his
mind, while fame was powerless to
swerve him from the path of duty.
Great as he was in war, he loved peace
and told the world that honorable ar-
bitration of differences was the best
hope of civilization.

“With Washington and Lincoln.Grant
has an exalted place in history and the
affections of the people. Today his
memory is held in equal esteem by
those whom he led to victory and by
those who accepted his generous terms
of peace. The veteran leaders of the
blue and the gray here meet not only
to honor the name of the departed
Grant, but to testify to the living real-
ity of a fraternal national spirit which
has triumphed over the differences of
the past and trancends the limitations
of sectional lines. Its completion, which
we pray God to speed, will be the na-
tion’s greatest glory.

“It is right, then, that General Grant
should have a memorial commensurate
with his greatness and that his last
resting place should be the city of his
choice, to which he was so attached in
life and of whose ties he was not for-
getful even in death. Fitting, too, is
it that the great soldier should sleep
beside the noble river on whose banks
he first learned the art of war and of
which he became master and leader
without a rival. _

“But let us not forget the glorious
distinction with which the metropolis
among the fair sisterhood of American
cities has honored his life and memory.
With all that riches and sculpture can
do to render the edifice worthy of the
man, upon a site unsurpassed for mag-
nificence, has this monument been rear-
ed by New York as a perpetual record
of his illustrious deeds, in the certainty
that as time passes around it will as-
semble with gratitude and reverence
and veneration men of all climes, races
and nationalities.

“New York holds in its keeping the
precious dust of the silent soldier, but
his achievements—what he and his
brave comrades wrought'for mankind—
are in the keeping of 70,000,000 American
citizens who will guard the sacred her-
itage forever and foreverJnore. ”

General Horace Porter followed in an
address eulog‘istic of the dead com-
mander. in which he formally transfer-
red the custody of the monument to the
city of New York. Mayor Strong re-
sponded appropriately, and the hun-
dreds of thousands of visitors began to
disperse. The conditions were all fa-
vorable for the display, except that the
weather was raw and chilly and a high
wind added to the discdmfort of spec-
tators on the stands, many of whom
voluntarily deserted the seats which
had cost several dollars apiece.

Cold Weather In Saratoga.

been concluded and, if in the course of

the proceedings against Dr. Peters evi-V

dence developed justifying criminal
prosecution, the public prosecutorwould
undoubtedly do his duty, as everybody
was indignant at the acts of Dr. Peters.

Dr. Von Boett‘icher then called upon
Herr Bebel to confine himself to the
subject under discussion and not to at-
tack a meritorious official like Dr. Kay-
ser, who was not present to defend him-
self.

»Awful Conflagration at Newport News.

Newport News, Va., April 28.—-Fire
broke out today at the wharf and de-
stroyed two coastwise merchandise
piers, with their contents, three vessels
and one tugboat, entailing a total loss
of about $2,500,000. The fire originated
in pier 5, and before the alarm was
sordded the entire building was in
flames. A number of persons were in-
jured, and it is thought' several lives
were lost.

Train Explosion Fatal.

London, April 28.—One of the victims
of the explosion which occurred yester-
day afternoon while a train filled with
men from the city was making its usual
stop at the Aldersgate station of the
underground railroad is dead. Experts
have determined that the explosion was
caused by a high explosive placed in
one of the cars. It is generally believed
the affair was a carefully planned out-
rage.

 

‘Von’t Have an English Coach.

New Haven, April 28.—It can now be
asserted on the‘ highest authority that
the Yale navy management will not
accept the offer of the English coach
to take charge of the Yale varsity crew
for the rest of this season. The offer
was never seriously considered by the
Yale management, and a discouraging
answer was immediately returned to
the coach who proffered his services.

Big Elevator Destroyed.

Peoria, 1115., April 28.—The Iowa Cen-
tral elevator of this city was entirely
consumed by fire, together with 30
freight cars. Some were filled with
grain and others with merchandise. It
was only a few weeks since that the
Union elevator was destroyed, for which
the insurance companies paid $300,000.
The loss last night will foot up fully as
much, if not more.

Fruit Crop Uninjured.

Geneseo, N. Y., April 28.-—The mer-
cury early today in the Genesee valley
was down to 4 degrees below freezing.
A gale, with occasional showers during
the night, however, has prevented any
damage to the peach and apple crops,
which promise to be large.

 

Soliman,Wins at Epsom.

London. April 28.—The Great Metro-
politan Stakes, handicap, the second to

years old. '

Laurier’s Tariff Plans Indorsed.

London, April 28.—The newspapers
are paying much attention to the Ca-
nadian tariff debate. They indorse the
proposals of the premier, Mr. Wilfrid
Laurier, and denounce those of the 0p-
positlon, especially Sir Charles Tup-
per’s. .

Snowstorm at Gouverneur, N. Y.

TEE ElNlNE IN INDIA.

by a liissiOnary.

MILLIONS ARE STARVING.

Government’s Efforts to Provide Work
For the Sufl'erersflTrade at a Stand-
still—Enormous Prices Are De-
manded For Food Stuffs.

New York, April 27.—-The American
board of foreign missions has received
from Rev. James Smith, one of its mis-
sionaries in Ahmednagar, India, a care-
fully prepared statement relative to the
prevalence of the plague and famine in
that country. Mr. Smith says:

“There are three things that absorb
all public interest just now in India.
These are the famine, the plague and
the stupendous task which the govern-
ment has undertaken—viz, to stop, the
plague and feed the millions that are
starving. More than 3,500,000 people are
already 011 relief works—works that

owe their inception to the famine—and'

the number is increasing by 250,000 a
'week. The increase is likely to go on
and be more rapid in the future, for the
people have Well nigh exhausted their
own slim resources and prices are still
steadily rising. The price of wheat here
today is $2.25 a bushel. The cheapest
grain that can be bought sells for more
than $1335 a bushel. Wages of day la-
borers or re never so low, ranging from
5 to 7 cents a day. .

Numbers on Relief \Vorks.

“There are 95.000 persons in this dis-
trict on relief works, more than 11 per
cent of the total population. These peo—
ple receive on an average 25 cents a
week for their labor. At present prices
a man requires at least 23 cents a week
to buy the grain out of which his bread
is made, leaving 2 cents a week for ev-
erything else he may need.

“There are many thousands who can-
not avail themselves of government re-
lief, such as the old and feeble, the very
young, delicate women and young girls.
In Ahmednagar we have always had a
flourishing industry in the manufacture
of cloth and copper pots. Now this
trade is at a standstill. The workers
have all their lives carried on their work
under cover Now they must either
starve or carry earth on their heads for
embankments in the open, when the
sun is at its hottest, and this year is
hotter than usual. As I write, at 9 p.
m., it feels delightfully cool, but the
thermometer registered 86 degrees.

“For such people to work out of doors
in the sun is certain death. It is most
distressing to have to tell people every
day that you can give them nothing to
do. They go away often without a mur-
mur, though they may not have a mor-
sel of food in their'houses or a cent
wherewith to buy. A spirit of resigna-
tion has crept over the whole land. They
quietly whisper, ‘It is God’s will,’ and
walk away in silence. Escape seems
impossible. Others are dying, why
should not they? It is a well attested
fact that hundreds of thousands in the
last famine and thousands in the pres-
ent famine even: have died of starva-
tion almost within sight of the govern-
ment relief camps.

As to “Caste Scruples."

"This was partly due to their belief
in fate and partly to their fear of con-
tamination by association with people
of other castes in the relief camps. Bet-
ter throw away the present life than
imperil their chances in the next! Gov-
ernment has taken special pains in this
famine to assure people that their ‘caste
scruples’ will be respected. Different
castes have been provided for in sepa-
rate camps, and the arrangements for
providing food are carried out as far as
is practicable by their own caste fel-
lows.

“The plague, it is commonly believed,
is owing to the curse of the queen in
revenge for the smearing of her statue
(image, they call it) in Bombay, some
months ago, and patients are carried off
by government order to the plague hos-
pitals, not to be cured, but to be pollut-
ed first and then put to death in the
most horrible manner.

“The government has opened shops
for the sale of grain at less than market
rates. In these shops American corn is
sold much cheaper than any country
grains. But this American corn is said
to be poisoned, polluted at least, so that
few will buy it. Such a story can be
traced, of course, to the greed of the
native grain merchants, who make ‘no
small gain by their craft,’ but which is
now thought to be in danger.”

m CANADIAN __mm.

It Provides For I——mportunt Preferences In
l

Favor of British Goods. .

Ottawa, April 26.——The new Canadian
tariff is not. a. radical departure from
the old protective tariff, but it is gen-
erally considered a decided step in the
direction of free trade.’ Insome re-
spects it is more favorable to the Unit-
ed States than the old tariff, but the
preferences for British goods are large
and important.

The most important feature in the
new tariff is in the double schedule.
By the announcement of this fact the
government accepts the idea of a gen-
eral tariff to be levied upon goods from
countries giving Canada no trade ad-
vantages and of a special tariff appli-
cable to imports from Great Britain and
other countries that permit imports of
Canadian goods free of duty or at min-
imum,tariff rates.

The government views the policy of
the United States and even the sched-
ules of the Dingley bill as not preclud-
ing the negoti-.tion of a reciprocity
treaty between Canada and the United
States. If, however, the Dingley bill
were to become a law, it would seri-
ously affect the trade of Canada with
the United States. Under these cir-
cumstances the government announce
that while they did net favor retalia-
tion and duty for duty, it was well at
the present time not to extend to goods
from the United States the measure of
tariff reform now brought down.

There is no hostility implied thereby.

United States products will be admit-.

ted at the former duties, pending the

time when the American government.

may remove the barriers to a freer in-
terchange of trade commodities be-
tween the two countries.

This preferential feature of the new
tariff is a very different policy from
that of the late protectionist govern-
ment, which so framed its tariff that
while Canadian imports from the Unit-
ed States increased those from the Brit-
ish islands diminished.

GOLD STARTS ABROAD.

But the Treasury Officials Do Not Expect
a General Export lilovement.

Washington, April 26.—The secretary
of the treasury has received a telegram
from Assistant Treasurer Jordan at
New York, stating that $977,000 in gold
bullion has been ordered for export.
This is the first withdrawal of any con-
siderable amount since July 22, 1896,
when $2.000,000 was withdrawn, the last
of a series of heavy shipments extend-
ing through a number of months.

The present order has been antici-
pated for a number of days, sterling
exchange having been dangerously near
the shipping point. The treasury ofil-
cials are not disturbed and do not an-
ticipate any general gold export move-
ment. In any event they say they are
perfectly sure that European holders
are not selling American securities be-
cause of any distrust or want of confi-
dence in them.

The outbreak of any hostilities be-
tween Greece and Turkey is regarded
as probably responsible for the present
demand for gold. Further than this,
the officials do not care to express an
. opinion.

The New Chinese Minister.

Washington, April 26.—Mr. Wu Ting
Fang, the new Chinese minister to the
United States, Spain and Peru, with a
large retinue of secretaries and serv-
ants, is at the Arlington hotel awaiting
the departure of the retiring minister,
Mr. Yang Yu, who will go to St. Peters-
burg. The party of the incomingr min-
ister consists of his wife and son, Mr.
Ho Yon, first secretary and wife; Mr.
Shen Tung, second secretary and wife,
and 16 others.

Charged “Vith Mutiny.

Hoboken, N. J ., April 26.——Five sailors
of the Hamburg-American line steamer
Normania, from Hamburg, were ar-
rested on the arrival of the vessel and
locked up at police headquarters on a
charge of insubordination. Third, Offi-
cer Fred Grant alleged that they had
mutined on the voyage. The sailors de-
nied the charge and insisted that
they had only refused to obey orders
which would have endangered their
lives.

 

Died After Sparring.

New York, April 26.——While Rudolph
Babst, 46 years old, was engaged in a.
friendly sparring match yesterday with
Peter Langtry, aged 17 years, at the
latter’s home'in Brooklyn, Babst re-
ceived a light blow on the side of the
head. He fell to the floor unconscious
and died soon afterward. Babst had
long been a sufferer from heart disease.
Langtry was arrested.

Confluence Makes Gold Plentii‘ul.

The gold standard does not restrict us
to the use. of gold. Our country, like
every other gold standard country, uses
vast amounts of silver concurrently
with gold.

There is no shortage of gold. Its Uro-
duction is steadily. increasing. When
confidence prevails, there is no lack of
