Nnw YOHK , Feb. 23. The ceremony of
1 raising the American flag on thn New York
( formerly the City of Now York ) , which
wan arranged for noon today , was marred by
the ini'kmcnt weather , Imt according to the
( luturnilnatloii of the ofllccrs of the cor.ipany ,
there was to bo no postponement of the ox-
orrises until another day. The beginning of
the ceremonies was made late by the delay
of the presidential party , owing to the
storm.
The flrst section of the party , piloting the
president , arrived In this city at 1 o'clock.
The president's train arrived at 3 o'clock and
the party proceeded to the boat. Every
thing was in readiness by 13 o'clock , the
Now York having taken up her position
about GOO feet off pier A , North river , near
the battery. At 11 o'clock the United States
cruiser Chicago being thcro also , prepared
to flro the salute at the rising of the Hag.
The guests iuvltud to bo present on the ship
were transferred from pIcr-13 , North river ,
this city , ani { from Jersey City , all but Uio
Washington party being oil' board before 1
o'clock. A crowd of about 000 persons as
sembled on the battery to watch the spec
tacle , but many of them went away before
the ceremonies began , on account of the de
lay.
Dceorated with limiting.
All along the river from the pier of the
American line at the foot of Christopher
street to the barge ofllco the docks and vos
BO'S In them were gaily decorated , especially
oa this side of the river. All the big trans
it.I. . , ntlo liners that happened to bo In port
were llyln- ? ( lags at the peak and long lines
of streamers were stretched from mast to
in ist. The American line dock was capo-
clilly gay with bunting , but the Now York
hail no flags at all. They were all ready to bo
pu led up when President Harrison raised
th' American colors.
The Now York , with her full crow on
boar.l , steamed away from her dock at 1 : ! ! >
0lock for the proposed anchorage of the
b vttcry. She was greeted with whistles
frun all sorts of stoim er.ift as she wont
diwn the river. Soon after the New York
gjt under way , with only her crow on board ,
the Howard Carroll took her place in the
slip and tire guests she was to carry to the
New York embarked on her. The Howard
. Carroll started away with over f > 00 guests01 :
j board at 11:45 : o'clock. The Sain Sloai
transferred the belated guests.
The company was quickly put aboard tin
Now York , which still awaited the arrival ol
' the presidential party. The Now York was
surrounded by many tugs and the excursion
boats that had brought the visitors. On the
New York two battalions of naval reserves
oiuifrpin I < ew York and the other frorr
"j-uuadelphla , were on duty , and a guard waf
dra\\n up on aock waiting for the presi-
dcuti'il party.
I'lxeil Up for tlio Occasion.
The Now York looked spick and span and
nil of the sailors were clad in now uniforms ,
The lUtings were cleaned and polished until
tlio.y sliono like mirrors , and all of the linen
and silver on the tables glistened urlghtly.
The Washington party on the sectlor
of the presidential train which collided will
n train near Philadelphia arrived in Jersey
City at 1 : ifl p. in. Among them were Con
pressman Payne , Congressman Buchanai
i and Congressman nemphlllof South Carolina
I Congressman Stump of Maryland , Senate
| "Washburno of Minnesota and Mr. Franl
| llntton. Thcro was quite a crowd in the
Pennsylvania depot when the president's
1 train at last drow.ln. Superintendent Jack
Ison of the Pennsylvania entertained the
Imost notable ol those who were thcro in a
{ private car until the president's train was
Iduo. Among those who were there were
( Secretary Hildas , who came to the city las
I night , and thirty men fromjho New Yorl
' and Philadelphia naval reserves. Unitei
i'States Marshal Jacobus was also in the
party.
AH the president's train ran into the
[ Station the naval reserves draw up in line on
/either side of the way and a squad of Jersey
' policemen made an ineffectual effort to keep
, the crowd back.
| { The president walked down the platform ,
leaning on the arm of Mayor Gilroy. Secre
taries Klklns , Wannamaker and Uu.sk and
i General J. A. Dutuont followed Immediately
pVMter , and with the rest of the party were
L * hurried on board the Sam Sloan , which lay
& nt the Adams Kxpross company's freight
pier , and almost Immediately after steamed
1 off for the Now York.
The news of the arrival of the presidential
i party was convoyed to the Chicago by the
special tender , and the cruiser llred the
presidential salute , following it up ten
Ijininutes later with another in honor of Sce-
1 \rctary \ Tracy.
1 ; The Hurry of snow was very dense when
the president stepped up the gang plank
of the New York. The battery , though
packed with people , was shut out from view
by the snow and mist.
1 President Harrison came aboard the Now
York shortly after 2 o'clock. The naval re
serve drew up in double ranks on the hurri
cane deck , with the band of the corps in the
' ear. Behind the siuco which had been
rorcd olT for the presidential party the
guests of the ship were crowded and they
gave the party n hearty cheer. President
Harrison was escorted to the stern of the
hip by Captain John C. Jamlcson , the coin-
.iiunder.
Welcomed by Ilourke C'ockran.
Ho was followed by the four members of
his cabinet who were present and Clem-
nut A , Qiscrom , president of the American
line , and the directors of the International
Navigation company. Congressman W.
Dourko Cockran , to whom had been given
the honor of formally In vlltng President liar-
rrlson to raise the llag , stepped forward and
said :
'My friends ; I have been asked by the
oHlcers of the company whoso hospitality wo
enjoy , to open the ceremonies today. They
j ; > consist of replacing n foreign Hag by the
Hag of our own country at the masthead of
1'- ' this triumph of the ship builders' art. It Is
n inagnltlcent occasion and It marks a peace
ful conquest a conquest of civilization
which wo celebrate when wo iiniiex this
splendid specimen of marina architecture to
the American merchant marine. 1 turn , sir.
to you [ turning to President Harrison ] , who
viands before the world , today a high type of
the citizenship of the country , n heroic de
fender of its integrity , and commit to your
hands the patriotic task of unfurling from
the masthead the Hag which typitlcs Ameri
can liberty and enlightened progress , "
His address was received with great ap
plause.
I'rmlilf nt llnrrUnn'K A inner.
President Harrison said : "Mr. Cockran
nnd Gentlemen : It gives mo pie : , vo to
conaumnuito ln > re today , bv the act of llftlnir
this Hag , legislation to which I gave mv
hearty support. I have felt as a cltlz i and
as president the mortification which every
American must fcol who examines Into the
standing of the fulled
Stales In the mur-
chant marine of the world. 1 believe that
wo have reached nn opoeh In our develop
ment when the great work of international
development is far J
so consummated that wo
might successfully take up the work of recovering -
covering pur fair share In the cnrrving trade
of the world. [ Applause. ]
"Wo lift the Hag today over ono ship , a
maBiilllcciit specimen of naval architecture ,
one of the beat afloat on any sea. That event
s Interesting In Itself , but its Interest to mo
s that this ship Is the trno pel-cursor of
nany others that are to follow this Hag.
Applause. ] I deem It an entirely appropriate
unction that the president of the United
States should lift the American Hag. "
I'liing Out Old ( llory.
Immediately the silken stars and stripes
vcro run up and all the streamers were mi-
urlcd , extending over the mastheads to the
KJW and stern of the steamer. The prcsl-
tent's Hag topped the main mast , the com-
mny'H row house Hag floated at the fore and
.he mall flag was displayed at the mlzzen
nast. Simultaneously with the nnpoaranco
if "Old Glory" over the tuff rail the guns of
.ho Chicago llred the national salute of
.wcnty-onoguns. The navy yard In Brooklyn
ilso responded with twenty-one guns and
.hen followed a pandemonium of whistling
in-l bell ringing from the crafts In the har
bor.
bor.Tho
The trip down the bay had to bo cancelled
on account of the storm.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies Presi
dent Harrison retired to the main saloon ,
where ho held a reception. Ho met nnd
shook hands with several hundred of the
guests.
At'l:30 : the presidential party went on
board the Starin steamer , which departed
immediately for Jersey City , where they
took the 4 o'clock train for Washington.
Illxtory of the Iiiman I.Inc.
The Ininan line service on the north At
lantic ocean originated in 1850. Hichardson
Bros. & Co. of Liverpool , Eng. , and Kichard-
son , Wilson & Co. of Philadelphia had been
the owners of a line of sailing packets trad
ing between Philadelphia and Liverpool.
In 18r > 0 they started n line of nrst-class
steamships between these cities , subse
quently changing the American port of de
parture to Now York. The late William In-
man was n partner in the Liverpool house
and managed the shipping department. He
was mati'iging director of the company from
1S.M to the time of His death in 1881.
In 1H8I ! the old company dissolved and a
new ono was formed , called the Inman it
International Steamship company. The
steamship City of New York and the City of
Paris were constructed by Messrs. James
and George 'I hompson'of Clyde Bank , near
Glasgow. The two shljis cost 1,000.000.
The City of New York came in from sea on
Thursday and went up to her pier in the
North river , completing her last voyage from
Quecnstown and Liverpool. As soon as she
had made fast to her berth , scaffolds were
slung over her bows and stern , and workmen
sot to work erasing the "City of" in her
name. The job was an artistic one , and on
its completion no ono was able to discern any
evidences lint the nanio wns ever any more
extensive than "New York. "
The new service under the American ling
will bo inaugurated with the sailing of the
United States steamship Now York from
this city on February 2. ) . Passengers will
embark from the pier hero and land on the
now Kmpross dock at Southampton.
To Increase the comfort of Its patrons , the
management of the American line has ac
quired the largest steamship pier in Now
York , which is being lilted up with a second
story , so that passengers can embark and
land in New York more comfortably than
over before. By means of the second story
passengers and their baggage are kept en
tirely .separated from the handling of freight
and movements of trucks , carriages , etc.
The pier is situated at the foot of Veasoy
street , adjoining the Cortlandt street ferry
of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Arrived In Washington.
W.v mixmox , D. C. , Feb. 33. The presi
dent and those who accompanied him lo
New York this morning returned to the city
at 10. o'clock tonight. Postmaster General
Wanamaker left the party at Philadelphia ,
but expects to come to Washington in the
morning.

OTTUMWA , la. , Feb. 33. [ Special Telegram
to Tins Br.n.l The residence of Adolph Neise
burned this morning and his wife and infant
child perished in the Hames. Neiso says the
Ikj-o was the result of an exploding lamp in
Mrs. Neisu's room mil that ho and the other
three children would have perished also , but
one of them awakened him for a Urink of
water and they thus escaped. There were
bad stories alloat to the effect that Neiso
and 1m wife had quarreled many times over
Noise's infatuation for his wife's buxom and
pretty sister , and the fact that Mrs. Neiso's
life was insured for $5,000 lent additional
color to the rumors of foul play. The cor
oner's jury adjourned till tomorrow to in

SIDNET , la. , Fob. 33. [ Special to Tnn
Bi'.u. ] Section 300 of the code of Iowa pro
vides In counties- having upward of 10,000
population , iho grand jury shall bo composed
of seven members , and section 311) ) provides
that twelve shall bo drawn by the clerk ,
auditor and sheriff , when the Jury is lo bo
composed of seven members. It has just
developed that thcso provisions of Iho code
have not been complied with. The state
census of 18S5 gave this county less than
10,000 , while the national census of 18'JO
gave In excess of that number in population.
These facts being brought to Iho knowledge
of Judge Walter I. Smith , the presiding
Judge of Iho district court now In session
here , ho ruled that all action by Iho
grand Jury was null and void , and il Is
quietly understood that a new venire will
bo summoned and covert will reconvene In
about ono week. It is apparent that the
census of IS'.H ) has been entirely overlooked
by all who are connected with county legal i
affairs ; but the query i.s.how could the proper
officers fail to see the law when if. is all con
tained In sections 300 to UIO of the code ?
They found it after two or more years.
11 will probably effect Iho Mawhor and
other criminal cases prior to this time ,
although all this county's grand juries have
been illegal since that of 1891.

was adjourned byilho supreme court this
morning until 2 p. in.
The report is general that , the populists
nro seeking to delay the ease until they can
adjourn the legislature , but this the popu
lists deny. They declare the legislature
will last the full fifty days , which will carry
It until the 8th of March.
The republicans apparently have no fear
for the result , should the court de
cide the case on Its merits.
Hut they are not so confident of
success should iho court decide it was a
question of their Jurisdiction. Ko many
courls of iho country have held minority
legislative bodies to bo do facto organiza
tions thai some of Die republicans arc a lil-
llo apprehensive of Iho result of the case
now pending.
Friends of Judge Martin are making a Irc-
meiulous effort to prevent the election of an

SALT T.AKC CITY , U. T. , Feb. 22. The Gen
tiles hero are much dissatisfied wilh Iho
proposal inserted in Iho bill which continues
and pays the Utah commission. The feature
objected to is the rcapportlonment to bo
made after the registration lists are revised ,
but the registration has nothing to do with
tlio apportionment , which is made on the
census of IS'.K ) , and Ihis has already been
done by iho authority of congress.
A trick is icarqd , because Iho
foreshadowed apportionment is put off until
such time as Iho democrats will have control
of the latler and deprivo'tlie Gentiles of any
rcprcsentalion in tlio legislature , though
they poll -10 per cent of the vote and pay 75
'
per cent of the taxes'the territorial pur
poses. The apportionment having already
been made on the census of IS''O ' , which gives
Iho Genllles about onu-tlilrd of the members
of Ihe legislature , they iuslst it should stand.
The Gentiles assert that some influence ,
having a sinister purixiso in view. Is at work
to obtain such an unusual clause in the bin
and Ihey one and all protest against It.

to THE Bnn. ] In 'spHo of Washington's
birthday the s'enatisjhold two long sessions
today , having prolonged yesterday's by a
recess. The day was j ostly spent in
second readings arid 'reports. The most
Important act was the knocking out
by the railroad committee of Grill's '
oill fixing milximuih passenger rates at a
cents per mile.- The bill which recently
passed the house localing un asylum at Hcd-
llcld was yesterday amended by providing
for an asylum at Caster City , which over
loads the bill and will kill it.
A strong effort was made to strike out the
amendment and save Kedfield's asylum. A
combination was formed between tlio rcsub-
mlssionists , Huron people and iho railroad
lobby , and an active and Unconcealed agita
tion kepi up all day. Black Hills , Yanklon
and Pierre men oppose ttic change. In case
Iho former parly are successful it is likely
lo have a most important bearing on resub-
misslon and capitol fights.

BniiLis , Fob. 22. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to Tin : Bni : . ] The funeral
of Hanker Blelchroedcr was remarkable for
Its simplicity. Among tlio wreaths sent
some wcro from Alphonse do Hothschlld and
Bismarck , the present British ambassador ,
the Russian ambassador , Brazilian and
Dutch ministers , Count Kulcnberg and the
kaiser's court marshal ,
Since yesterday the body of Iho great
banker and financier lay in state in the largo
banqueting hall of the big white house
where ho lived in 02 Behrenslrasso. The
body lay In a magnificent silk-lined shell ,
almost hidden by vast masses of ( lowers and
piled up in all directions were floral crosses ,
crowns and other designs. The house was
constantly crowded with visitors. On the
chest of the deceased were the many orders
ho had received from all over the world , in
cluding that of the Legion of Honor. The
chief mourners wcro his three sons , his
wife having died years ago. Interment was
at Friechop cemetery. Habbl Maybaum de
livered the address.
I asked the opinions of a couple of stock
exchange men as to what effect the death of
Bleichroeder would have. Both wcro of the
opinion that when his business came to bo
settled up thcro might bo a slight decline in
prices , owing to a good deal .of stock being
thrown upon market. Both saiil that with
Bleichroeder dead the fame of Iho great
house was sure to fall , as in the firm his
personality was everything.
Must Do Something Soon.
I have today seen a conservative member
of Ihe KeichslafT , who gave his opinion that
the only way out of the present political
deadlock was a staatsrich or coup d'etat. I
asked him what coup d'etal would bo possi
ble. His icply was that Iho natural course
of events under the present circumstances
would have been to dissolve Iho chamber ,
bul that an appeal to the country merely
meant an overwhelming return against the
government. Thu only means , therefore ,
of avoiding tills would be a coup d'etat
which should radically alter the present
voting system. Such n change would mean
a very daring stroke of policy. The great
questions are : Would the chancellor advise
it , for there is little doubt ho would wish It ,
and s'ill more important would the kaiser
support Him in such a line of policy.
That the pressnt situation Is highly aggra
vating to the chancellor is without doubt.
Ho says ho has done everything that man
could do to force the military bill through ,
nnd afterwards the Husslan commercial
Ireaty , but after endless labor ho finds him
self apparently beaten almost ere the batlle
has commenced. Bisnvirck would hayo cut
the Gordian knot in a summary way , but in
his day the knots of political-parties wcro
not nearly so tangled as today. Thus the
general qucslion is , What will Iho chancel
lor do ! Echo answers , What will the kaiser
loll him lo do ?
Coming or a Now I'arty.
The sponlaneous upheaval of Ihe agrieul-
lural parly has made the deepest Impression.
We have been accustomed to Iho fluent
spccehesiof the heated meetings of socialises ,
anti-seinitcs , etc. , but Ihe short common sense
speeches made at the agricultural meeting
have carried the opinions of Ihe respectable
middle classes almost completely. What
will the chancellor and government do in the
face of this vast flood of opposition ! '
Tlio agricullurists today presented a pc-
lllion against Iho Russian commercial
Ireaty. The kaiser replied kindly and said
it was quite right to appeal to him ; that the
question was ono of great didlculty and ho
would consider it seriously , not forgetting
their intercsls.

York Herald Special to Tun BKB. ] No re-
pulsa has so far marked the forward march
of the federalists toward Allegro in Hlo
Grande do Sul , Brazil. The Herald's cor
respondent In Artigas tclegraghs today thai
Santa Anna has practically fallen intoHho
hands of the federalists , II 's a bloodless
victory which tlio federal commander , Gen
eral Tavorez , will win at Santa Anna.
When ho besieged that town ho expectc d
thai Ihis. iho first movement comprised in
the general plan for marching through Hio
GnOndo do Sul , would meet resistance , for
the town had recently been fortified by
troops sent by Governor Castllho , and they
were supposed to bo loyal to the executive.
The head of the federal column reached the
outskirts of Santa Anna yesterday after
noon and by nightfall the entire army of
4.500 men was encamped around Iho. town.
Tnis show of force frightened the loyal Cas-
lilhos , while it caused many who had been
wavering lo espouse Iho cause of iho fed
erals.
In Iho army sympathy with the federal
cause was openly expressed and il soon be
came evident that iho Iroops were by no
means loyal lo Governor Cuslilho.
This feeling became so pronounced lhat
today the Twelfth and Eighteenth regiments
opcmy revolted and marched out of the city
and Into the camp of Iho federals amid the
shouts nnd applause of General Tavorez's
army. The cily ilsolf will bo surrendered
without any show of resistance or bloodshed
if the information which has reached Iho
Herald's , correspondent In Artigas bo true.
Will Ho n Serle-t of Victories.
With this important town as his base of
operations Genor.il Tavorez will begin his
movement toward Porto Allegro , the capitol
of iho slate. It is now believed that this
inarch will be a series of vlctoriss. Ten
cities have already declared Iheir olliclal
allegiance lo Iho federal cause and others
may have done so , but Iho telegraph'service
from Hlo Grande do Sul is Interrupted and U
is difllcult lo obtain full information.
News of Iho victory of General Saralva in
Iho Interior has been confirmed. He caplurcc
n largo number of prisoners and arms from
iho Caslilhistas. What made the victory
of greater Importance was Iho fact that dur
ing theballlo : X ) of Iho Caslllhisl soldiers
deserted from thai army and joined Iho fed
crals under General Saralva and lurned Iheii
guns against their late friends.
These desertions froji the forces of Gov
crnor Castllho are so frequent that they In
dicate a general sentiment in the army
against the governor. Ho appears t ? have
no forces upon which he can depend to fighter
or his cause and unless the promised rcin-
orccments arrive soon from Uio Janeiro Iho
revolutionists will execute their threat of
narchlng to Porto Allegro and ousting Gov
ernor Castllho.

Br.iu.iN , Feb. 22. The formal opening of
llio ngrieulturalcon.gress In Ihis cily occurred
today. Nearly ' 1,000 delegates from all parts
of the empire were present.
The attitude of the agrarian party In the
Itciehstiig toward Chancellor von Caprlvi'H
commercial treaties is a matter of deep in
terest and it is believed that ono of the re
sults of the congress will bo to .further nc-
culualo Iho hostility of iho agricultural
imputation toward these treaties , the agri
culturalists of Germany baliovlng that the
effect of these treaties will be to rtt'n ' their
ndustry. Freihorer von Maiituu'cl , the
leader of tlio agrarian party in the Keichstag ,
presided over the congress. Frelherer von
Mantuffel in his address said ho was rejoiced
to hear that Emperor WillHm had received
a deputation from the Kastern lilbo Agra
Han association. This fact , , ho declared
gave hope for the future.
Hcrr Von Helden Cadow , Prussian minis
ter of agriculture , domains and forests , also
addressed the congress. IIu urged the sup
porters of and believers in the principles ad
vocated by the ugiMrlan party to combine
and organize.

1 ho emperor received thisafternoon a dep
utation from Iho Central Agricultural asso
ciation of the eastern provinces. The em
peror said that he was especially gratified
by tlio assodat on's action in bringing their
complaints directly to the fattier of their
country. Ho never would rest content until
he had got the provincial courts in proper
working order , so that Justice would
uo Impartially and expcdltiously ad
ministered , lie earnestly desired to re
lieve tins agricultural land owners of the
cares and dt'liculties which surrounded Iheir
occupation , but ho felt that many methods ,
popularly approved for the attainment of
this end only obscured the goal and re
tarded progress toward it. In the first place
preservation of the peace was a necessary
condition of till agricultural progress. The
agrarian party iniht ; assist materially in
maintaining the peace by voting for the mili
tary bill noiy before the Kcichslag. Agri
culture was a pillar of the empire , and It
would over bo his duty vnd especial care to
uphold and strengthen this pillar. In re
turn ho hoped thca grarLin parlv would give
in Uio future as in tlio past , constant evi
dence of their loyalty to the throne. His un
shaken belief was lhat Iho agricultural
classes would show themselves over faithful
to their emperor and empire.

Injured in a collision on the Burlington thrco
mm a half miles east of the city at an early
hour this morning. The men wore riding In
the caboose of the third section of No. 3 , an
east-bound stock tram , which waste
to meet a west-bound extra at
Havclock. No. 31 was standing at
the depot , but the engineer of the
extra failed to head in on Iho switch , and
fearing a collision thcenjrlueerof 34 reversed
his machine and then leaped off. The trains
came together , knocking the pilot off No. 331 ,
pulling the stock train , which Immediately
attained a high rate of speed mid was run
ning backward without a man on Iward the
engine. At Becker's switch , a mile and a ,
half west of Havclock , the train ran Into the
fourth scclion of the stock train , killing
eighteen head of cattle and smashing the
caboose and six cars.
Narrowly ICscaped Death.
Before the second collision the trainmen
notified the occupants of the caboose , who
dropped'gfrom the swiftly moving train us
quickly as possible. Thcro were eighteen
men In all , but none arc believed to be dan-
gcrously hurt. Five were brought to the
elly and their injuries dressed. They are :
L. M. LAUSON , Ix > omls , face and head
badly cut.

.loo Coates of Friend were cut about Iho
head and face. All had miraculous escapes ,
us the train was going twenty-llvo miles au
hour when she struck.
Other IVnturcM ol the Accident.
The fourth section of the stock train had
broken Inj two and had stopped to couple up
again when Iho other train ran Into It. Had
It been following the other section as
closely as usual , It wuMd have caught the
caboose before Iho stockmen got out of it ,
and a now horror xvould have been added to
the long list. The cars too'.c Hro from the
steve in the caboose , and were entirely
consumed together with a dozen or more of
the dead animals.
The brakeman was the. first lo suspect
lhat somelhlug was wrong when ho saw the
the train rushing backwards at headlong
speed , knowing how closely the other sec
tion was following. Ho clambered back
over a dozen cars and notified the
conductor that ho had better get
the stockmen out of the caboose. Wllh-
out waiting to ascertain what was
the mutter , the conductor yelled to the men
lo pile out. and they did so in a hurry.
Many struck on the- heavy ballast and wcro
rolled head over heels for yards. The con
ductor , unaware that the engiuo was tenantless -
less , started over the cars to find out what
was wrong , but had gotten only half way
when the crash came and throw him from
Iho train. At Iho moment of Iho collision
Die hrakcman was also in Iho act of shutting
off the air. Ho , too , was thrown lo ono side ,
and n irrowly missed being caught between
