New YOIIK , April 23. Ilomarkablo as was
j'csterday'sgathcringof foreign men-of-war in
our harbor to participate In thonavalrovlow ,
still moro remarkable was the spectacle pre
sented today. The- uniformed forces of for
eign nations and accoutred as for battle
inarched In our 9treats.
Yesterday the city smiled through Its
tears. Today the smile was still there , but
the tears had vanished. Strains of martial
inuslo lllled the place vacated by the pande
monium of car-splitting whittles and the
thunderous roar of death-dealing dogs of
war. It was as though a gtgantle naval
power had descended on our peace
ful shores , visited thereon Its wrath
in a bombardment of shot and shell ,
u capitulation , and then the landing of the
victorious naval forces and a march through
our thoroughfares. And there was more
truth than Imagination m the simile , for
Manhattan isle was as completely occupied
by u naval force as though attained by con
quest.
Jtrcplted wllli I.oticl Acclaim.
Instead of tattered flags of battlo.howover ,
they bore the olive branch and , marching In
line with our state troops , were greeted
with cheers and shouts of welcome as they
inarched through a solid wall of human
beings.
Not since the British evacuated
Now York has such an occurrence
been witnessed hero , and In no country
but ours Is such an occurrence possible.
"With muskets at their shoulders and small
nrms by their sides , the foreigners invaded
our soil today , and marched down America's
greatest street Broadway. Grim , llerco
looking Russians , sturdy Britons , ruddy-
faced Germans , trim , quick-moving French
men and dark vlsagcd Italians marched In
lllo after file with their own ofllcers com
manding , and with their own bands playing
the airs that they love best. But they were
not our captives , though our marines and
blue jackets preceded them and our national
guardsmen followed In their rear. The arts
of peace had superseded the strategy of war
ana the armed forces of nine nations
marched in our streets as though our coun
try and theirs wore one and they and wo
were brothers.
It Delighted the .lolly Tnrtl.
The first suggestion that our visitors be
invited to land their men and take part in a
land parade was declared by the big wigs of
our navy to bo out of the question. It was
not until President Cleveland took the mat
ter in hand that the foreign admirals were
nsltod If thny would laud their men. The
heartiness with which nearly all of the
lorelgn officers accepted the invitation when
it was extended indicated the good will ex
isting between their governments and ours
and dispelled all doubts as to the possibility
of having the foreigners take part In a
demonstration on shore.
Ten o'clock was the hour for forming the
Hue. and the formation was on Forty-second
street from the West Shore ferry , extending
toward Sixth avenue. Several platoons
of police were on hand to keep
back" the crowds of sight seers
who had . -assembled , and there was
considerable' difficulty In maintaining the
lines , so eager'wero the crowds to have a
close look at the swarthy tars of , other na
tions.
Every armory in the city was ns busy as a
bechlvo early-this morning. The national
guardsmen- ; gave a llnal burnish to their
arms , a final rub to buttons , chevrons and
.epaulota , and then fell in at the word of
command. The whole of the first brigade
and the naval reserve had been ordered out.
The latter had been on duty on the water
-yesterday , where their evolutions were
limited to the narrow decks of tugs. Today
they made a better showing on parade , and ,
besides , they had the naval militia of Massa
chusetts ns their guests.
Alons till ) I.lno of March.
The proceedings today wore managed by
General Louis Fitzgerald of the Now York
State National Guard and Commander J. W.
Miller of the naval reserve , acting under the
direction of Admiral Ghcrardi anil the com
mittee of 100 citizens appointed by the
mayor. Reviewing stands had been erected
by the commission at Madison square and
at the city hall park. From these stands
the admirals and ofllcers of the vessels In the
river and other Invited guests witnessed the
parade. Hundreds of private stands had
been erected along Broadway , Fifth avenue
nod Forty-second street , ami-windows , bal
conies and roofs along the route were util
ized by the crowds who lllled every place
which commanded it view of the column.
The decorations along the line of inarch
were not expensive owing to the storm inter
fering with the work of trimming the build
ings. West Forty-second street presented
the gayest appearance. Nearly ovcry house
was festooned with bunting. Just west of
Sixth avcnuo a big American Hag was hung
across the street. At Madison square
. .nearly every largo building wus draped with
the stars and stripes and the emblems of the
visitors who took part in the parade. At
the corner of Fifth avenue and Washington
square a luiiulsomo display of Haps was
made. Along Hroadwav the principal busi
ness houses were brilliant with color and
the classic front of tno city hall was covered
with banners , bunting and streamers.
At till llciul Kudu Flower.
Governor Flower rode at the head of the
procession. A platoon of mounted police

with a band under the chin. Her majesty's
blue Jackets were the regulation blue sailor
shirt , open low at the neck , blue trousers ,
very tight at the hip * and very wide at the
ankle , with light straw hats. The Britons
marched with precision and looked neither
to the right nor the left. They were cheered
ns they passed the reviewing stands and
whenever they wheeled to turn a corner.
Following the British came Argentine's
representatives from the Neuvo do Julin.
They were less than 100 in numbe- and were
dark blua shirts , with braid on the collars
and blue trousers. The onicors were long

French b.inn sot a lively step for thorn.
Germany followed on the hcols of Franco

all sailors and their dress was very similar
to that of our own blue Jackets. The band
of the German squadron accompanied them ,
Next came the Italians headed by their

President Cleveland did not assist at the
ovlow. He drove to the stand , but the
liarado was late and no was compelled to
ako the train for Chicago before the head
if the column reached the stand. In getting
nto his carriage at the hotel to drive to the
reviewing stand the president strucK his
licail against the carriage door , abraislng the
skin on the forehead. A doctor at the hotel
dressed the wound and after a delay of ten
minutes the president proceeded.

EXCAVATING FOR THE BELT LINE

mission Meeting World's
Fair Kate * .
In accordance with previous promises the
first steps in the construction of the Ne
braska Central railroad were takou yester
day morning when a good sized grading
outfit began tearing up the ground Just south
of Center street. This is the section
of the road that is to constitute
the belt line around the city and to South
Omaha. The engineering force has already
staked out and cross-sectioned the entire -
tire line from the poor farm
south , and the right of way has been
secured. The Nebraska Central company
has also purchased land and begun the ac
quirement of property for depot grounds ,
and work near Jefferson square has already
been begun. The west approach to the
bridge crosses the Union Pacific yards over
head , and the east end of the depot
grounds will bo graded up so ns
to bo twenty feet nbovo the
present grade. This earth will bo held In
position by a retaining wall , and It Is on the
excavation for the foundation for that wall
that work has been commenced. Tills ar
rangement was made so a * to not Interfere
with the Union Pacific or any other road and
leave all the tracks and improvements of the
Nebraska Central on the surface.
The now road runs from the west end of
the bridge to Eleventh and Cuss as an ele
vated road , but at that point the fill begins ,
and Cnss street will bo graded up twenty
feet. Tno fill runs out at Fifteenth and
Cass , whcro the depot will bo located , the
difference between the present grade of Cass
street at Eleventh and Fifteenth streets
being nineteen feet. This leaves the depot
juit at the present grade , fronting on JotTer-
son square , centrally located , easy of access
and adjacent to the business portion of the
city.
In speaking of the plans of the company
yesterday , President Dumout said that
another object of filling up the property
there and putting in a retaining wall was to
ccouomlzo room , as property in that location
Is expensive. The wall will bo built around
thu entire eastern portion of the grounds
from Thirteenth and Chicago to Fourteenth
and California. The road comes Into the
depot ns above stated and will go out the
same way as far as Twelfth and Cass.
This taites it back to the elevated portion ,
and permits the building of an olovuted
road from a potnionTwolfthncar Cass north
and west. It will be extended from there in
two branches. Ono will extend to connect
with the other roads north of Grace street ,
being elevated until after it passes Nicholas.
The other branch crosses the Elkhorn yards
overhead , and remains up until it reaches a
point south of Cumlng und west of Twenty-
fourth , where It drops and passes Into the
tunnel which takes it under the west Farnam
residence district. It emerges again
about Fortieth and Lcavenworth , and con
tinues on the surface to South Omaha.
.The grading south of Center street will be
pushed , and work on the retaining wall will
go rapidly forward from this timo. The llrst
excavating for the wall is to bo done nt a
point north of Cass and east of Twelfth.
The construction will Involve an expenditure
by the time it Is completed of 150,000.
Preparations are also bnlug made
to begin the construction of the 100 miles Into
Iowa. This line will eo to Webster City ,
where it connects with the Illinois Central
twenty ralles east of Fort Dodge. That is
regarded as the key to the situation , and
work on that part of the road will bo pushed
faster than any other. A portion of-tho
right of way alone that line has already
been secured and the remainder of it Is being
looked after at the present timo.

Western rammnger Itutos In n Fntr Way to
lie Sadly Demoralized .Soon.
CHICAGO , 111. , April 3d. The Denver & Rio
Grande gave western passenger rates an
other cut today and has announced the fol
lowing round-trip rates : Denver to Chicago ,
$40 ; Denver to St. Louis , $33 ; Denver to
points on the Missouri river west of St.
Louts , 20. Those rates were a surprise to
railroad mon , as nothing had been done by
them to meet the cut from $4 ! ) to $45 by the
Ulo Grande some days ago , and the last
move is so much like fighting the air that
passenger men do not know what to make of
it , unless it is an attempt to force a ilirht
upon the Atchison road. The reduction will
bo good over the Rock Island and the
Burlington , the Missouri Pacific having
protested against the tariff being over
its lines. The Atchison will not belong
long In coming back , and as soon as it is re
leased from its contract with the Western
Passenger association will announce a
through ruto from Denver to Chicago , re
duced in the same percentage as the rate
announced today by the Denver & Hlo
Grande. This will make a round-trip rate
of $13.80 from Kansas City to Chicago.
Commencing tomorrow morning , the Atch
ison will dip into the Colorado fight for
blood , and will make the rate from Denver
to Pueblo and all intermediate points tl.
Between any of those points and Aspen the
rate will bo $1. The tickets will read
second-class over the Colorado Midland and
flrst-olass between Denver and Pueblo.
These rates will probably stir up the fight
in Colorado to the boiling point. The gen
eral impression now is that as long as the
Atchison road is held by its contract to the
Western Passenger association the Denver
& Illo Grande will continue to stir up trouble ,
but as soon as the Atchison Is free to light
as it chooses the row will bo over.

A rumor is afloat that the Chicago , Hock
Island & Pacific railway intends to build
several ropalr shops on their land in South

plated for sonio tune , but Is still kept quiet.
Although It will bo a moderate plant at first

NEEDED INVESTIGATION.
CommUslonera DUrovor n Crime at the
County lloipltnl.
The county commissioners paid a visit to
the county hospital Thursday evening in com
pany with Dr. i'ilton of the Insane commis
sion and Assistant County Attorney Troupe.
There were called there by a report that
Mary Ferguson , a woman la the h > sane ward ,
was in a delicate condition for which an
employe at the hospital was responsible.
Before starting they examined the county
records and learned that there was a
woman at the hospital oy the name of Mary
Ferguson , that she was 30 years of ase , that
she came from Iowa some years ago and
upon reaching this city entered a disorderly
house on Ninth street , where she remained
until last April , lit which time a complaint
was filed charging her with Insanity. At
that , time she was taken to the county Jail
and on April 7 , 1892 , declared insane by the
commission. She was immediately taken to
the hospital and has been an inmate of the
institution over since. An effort was made
to have her confined in the state hospital for
Insane women , but owing to its crowded con
dition she was not accepted.
With this information in tholr posses
sion the gentlemen went to the hos
pital , where , after making mi examination ,
Dr. Tilden stated that the report concerning
the woman's condition was truo.
The commissioners expect to fasten the
crime , but they arc not very hopeful , owing
to the fact that from the time when the
hospital was wrecked by the wind a year
ago and until a few weeks ago all of the insane
patients , both male und female , were allowed
to spend their days in the south corridor
and mingle together as they saw fit. This
massing of the two sexes was compulsory on
account of there not being room to separate
them and give them separate quarters.

by a company of American artists , it Is nn
especially notable onus , the production of
which Is full of prophecy of the day when a
national art yet latest shall become patent
and a cause of prldo to all good Americans.
It Is a privilege to praise such a work.
"Tho Ogalallas" is infinitely superior ,
musically , to either of the other two operas
presented by the Bostonlans in Omaha this
season. It claims rank with the works of
Blzot and Planquette , or oven Ambrolse
Thomas. Mr. Waller alms higher Ills
work has crudities , no positive faults , but
the number of Its excellences far exceeds
that of its weaknesses. Especially strong is
it in the recitative passages , but its arias
are hardly less admirable. Pressure on
space in this issue precludes detailed demon
stration of its best features. A line Individ
uality permeates the work. Mr , Waller Is
evidently a student of the masters' methods ,
but never a copyist of their measures. The
book , is literary to a degree , a matter of
course with everything ubovu Mr. Alllnon's
namo.
A now star swam Into the theater goer's
ken last evening. Miss Bertha Waltzlnver
sang her first big part. Miss D'Arvillo's
Indisposition was Miss Waltzlngor's oppor
tunity , and she acquitted herself In a manner
demonstrating her claim to high rank as u
soprano. The part of Edith Is a try-In ? one ,
calling for the best abilities and Miss Walt-
? lngor met them almost perfectly.
The other members of the company sus
tained their reputations , Mr. MucDonald
raising his considerably. Mr. Karl failed to
reach his part musically , his performance
being much below his old-tlmo standard ,
but Dcadshot U no Hobln Hood.
The opera was beautifully sot. The
chorus work was excellent. The orchestra
played Its score thoroughly well , but the
composer's Intent would have been moro
fully expressed had the local orchestra.
\Yhichls qulto on u level with the company
musiclaus , been cntragcd for the evening.
The ambition1 ! of Mr , Waller's orchestration
were not at all times adequately served.
The "remnant" who can appreciate earnest
strivings after the best musical ideals owe u
debt of arutitude to the Bostonlnns for their
production of 'The Ogalallun , " and were it
substituted for "Hoblu Hood" this evening
surely few , if any , who hava engaged aim
paid for their scuta to hear Do Kovuu's work ,
would demand tholr money back.
