CHICAGO , Oct 21. Across the alleeod
chasm , that never In reality existed , New
York and Chicago clasped hands today ami
the masters of the land of Columbus united
their energies In making the Manhattan
celebration at the World's fair a triumph.
Forty thousand Now Yorkers had come
1,000 miles to join In the cele
bration , . -and they , with the western
throngs , made the day one that will
bo a feature In the annals of the Columbian
exposition. Early this morning the east
erners gave ovldcnco of the success which
they were to score. On the lawn was
ercotcd a reviewing stand from which the
guests of honor reviewed the parade. As
soon as the gates were open the sightseers
began to arrive in crowds , and all day long
the weary gatekeepers twisted the turn
stiles around and around , swelling the ad
missions to a handsome figure.

Buffalo Bill's Wild West show opened the
ball at 10 o'clock , when it entered the
grounds in its wild glory. The Chicago
hussars , under command of. Captain Brand ,
made a splendid showing , and the County
Democracy's marching club was a magnifi
cent sight. Then c amo the famous Old
Guard , with Its bright uniforms and tower
ing shakos , escorted by the First regiment ,
Illinois National guards.
Shortly after 1 o'clock the parade again
formed and began its triumphal march
through the grounds. Before polng to
Festival hall the speakers , the distinguished
guests and the Old Guard were entertained
with luncheon by the state commissions.
After the parade and the luncheon the
principle exercises of the day were held at
Festival hall. An Immense audience was
present to greet the various speakers.
Scenes nt Night.
Great ns the day was the evening was
greater. Toward nightfall additional
crowds began to pour into the park , de
termined to sco the Illumination which had
been provided for. From every nook and
corner blazed gleaming lights of many hues.
The Now York state building was all
aflame. An elaborate display of fireworks
had been prepared and the pyrotechnic dis
play was equal to any that has yet been
seen at the fair. The procession of floats
used on Chlcago'day wended its way before
the whlto buildings , ending Its journey at
tholako front , where the fireworks were
displayed. The crush at this place
was terrible , the thousands on the grounds
all endeavoring to roach a place of vantage
from which they could see the display.
Several Doonlo were slightly hurt in the
Jam , but no serious casualties were reported.
' AmonR-tho principal features of the fire
works were an aerial wonder , produced by
the flight of 100 15-Inch shells fired by elec
tricity , forming n perfect umbrella In every
color of the rainbow ; Bartholdl's great
stutuopf "Liberty Enlightening the World , "
COxiiO foot ; discharge of three mammoth 00-
Inch bombs ] each bomb weighed 100 pounds
nnd contained 15,000 stars , the largest over
fired ; colossal fire portrait of Mayor Gllroy
of Now York. Besides these were sent up
untold numbers of varicolored bombs and
rockets of the most elaborate description ,
ClurloUB Weather.
Fortune smiled on New York's patron
saint today , dealing out as bright and
Blowing a bit of autumn weather for Man
hattan day as oven the most critical could
tloslro , and the estimable knlckcrbock-
orcd old gentleman took his place In the
World's fair history with colors flying.
Fully 75,000 Now Yorkers were on the
grounds , nnd they , with the ex-New Yorkers
who are to bo found in Chicago and the west
and the usual contingent of people who nro
attracted by big occasions , swelled the ad
missions to a llguro that placed Manhattan
day In the front rank of the uala days at the
fair.
fair.For weeks the Now York committee of
250 has boon arranging for today , The
transportation for the oxpcctod crowds had
been looked after , excursion rates had boon
provldoJ and everything possible was denote
to make the day a success.
Thursday Mayor Gllroy with his private
secretary , W. M. McDonough , nrrlvoa and
since then their headquarters at tha
Auditorium hotel hnvo Veen thronged with
easterners anxious to make the day a nuc-
cess.
Yesterday afternoon the committee In
charge mot Iu the Auditorium for a last con
ference , and the finishing touches were put
on. The famous Old Guards arrived during
the evening and were escorted to the Grand
Pacific hotel , with duo pomp and ceremony.
All that could bo done had been done , and
the success of the day was loft to the fates
and the weather. Both were propitious ,
and as soon as the gates weru opened this
-morning the great throng that was to wor
ship at the shrine of thu Empire state began
to come.
The crowd was in the usual hurry and the
gatcmon were sorely tried during the fore

When Mayor Harrison came forward at
the conclusion of lr. Brown's prayer to
make the address ot welcome bo was re
ceived with great applause , in which the
Now Yorkers led. Mayor Harrison spoke of
the great success of the fair and declared
that much of it was duo to the collective
and Individual efforts of the sons of Now
York , whoso genius was exemplified In every
portion nnd all departments of the exposi
tion. Ihe homo of tha state of Now York
on the grounds had always been the sccno of
the most generous hospitality and it was ono
of the most popular resorts within the ex
position gates. The mayor then alluded
pleasantly to the good footing existing be
tween the two great cities of the western
world and closed with a warm encomium on
the wealth and worth of the Empire state.
llospntmo by Mayor Ullroy.
Mayor Gllroy received an oven moro flat
tering welcome than Mayor Harrison , as ho
stepped forward to respond to the address of
wclcomo In the following words :
"It U with n feeling of profound pleasure
that I rocjprocato the greetings of Mayor
Harrison , nnd express the gratltudo of all
New Yorkers at the kind manner in which
they were convoyed. Although a Now
Yorker of Now Yont , I cannot help express
ing the belief that It would bo difilcult , If
not Impossible for New York or , any other
city on the globe to hnvo exceeded the mag-
niflccnco of this fair. It is not alone Chicago
cage thas Is to bo congratulated ; but Indeed
the the whole civilized world , of which the
great exposition is but an epitome. Wo take
pride as New Yorkers in being a portion of
that great country , the genius of which has
made such an exhibition possible. No ono
who has visited the great Whlto City can
over forget it , and the spcctacla of the court
of honor , illuminated with electric lights ,
with its fountains playing and surrounded
by buildings of superb architectural con
struction , is a dream of beauty.
"Thero is one- sad reflection connected
with the White City , and that Is that within
a few weeks or months all of these magnlf-
icent specimens of architectural art , to
gether with'all that they contain of human
greatness and civilization , shall have passed
away. I cannot help but think that any out
lay , however great , that would tend to preserve -
servo these magclflcent buildings In mon
umental marble would bo an expenditure for
which the country would bo repaid an hun
dred fold in the liberal education which our
people would receive in visiting them , and
in the expansion of mind and elevation of
thought which they would evolve. We have
here the best efforts of mankind from all
portions of the globe. Architec
ture in Its grandest forms.s the
marvelous possibilities of electrical science
as sho-.vn by the human voice , transmitted
so as to be beard upon a ray of electric
light ; the beautiful and 'astonishing pro
ductions of manufactures and the liberal
arts ; machine power which challenges the
admiration of mankind ; the oest products of
the fruits of the earth ; In fact , this great
exposition , with all its wealth of products of
civilization and progress , closes an era and
marks an epoch.
' 'It is the transfiguration of mon's'lndustry
nnd man's effort. It Is a subject to which It
would be impossible for me to dojustice. It
is only fitting that I should pay this passing
tribute to its greatness and its grandeur. "
Horace 1'orter's Tribute.
General Horace Porter of Now York ,
chairman of the citizens' executive com
mittee at the World's fair , then stopped for
ward nua delivered the following address ,
which was frequently interrupted by cheers
from those who were near enough to hear
him , and cheers from these further back
who yelled because they thought ho had
said something good which they could not
hear. "As In ancient times , all roads led to
Homo , " said General Porter , "so at the
present time all roads lead to Chicago. To
day the city of the seaboard comes to lay Its
tribute of admiration and respect nt the city
of the lake side. Therefore In what 1 shall
have to say , my story will bo a 'Talo of Two

WASHINGTON , Oct. 21. The democratic
majority has agreed upon n bill. When the
committee completed its sittings today
thirty-seven democratic senators had pledged
themselves to support the measure prepared -
pared , and the managers felt assured when
the Semite adjourned todav of a sufficient
number to bring the list up to forty-one ,
leaving only two men necessary to insure the
passage of the bill. The various senators
who are holding out against the bill are
said to bo Messrs. Mills and Vllas of the repeal
side and Mr. Irby of the silver side. There
are senators absent from the city , Messrs.
Daniel and White of California , for instance ,
upon whoso support of the bill they have no
doubt. There are others who have not
actually attached their names to the pledge ,
but upon whom the count of the managers Is
made , and they further expect to secure the
names of all the democratic senators and
will then rush the bill through as n party
measure and without calling upou the repub
licans for aid.
Sltuntlnn or the Konubllcani.
Most of the republicans hope the demo
crats will succeed in this accomplishment ,
for the bill is ono Which docs not commend
itself to either the repeal or the silver fac
tion. The repeal men are ploascd only with
the clause to limit the silver purchase to n
year , while the silver men find In this reason
to hope for a further extension of silver pur
chases , and think It belter than uncondi
tional ropcal In all its provisions , except
that proposing a time for coining the pur
chases of silver bullion , and although It pro
vides for an Increased use of silver as money ,
this Is by no means what they have desired.
The committee recommendation will bo
put In the shape of an amendment to the
Voorhees bill and will probably receive the
support of most of the silver republicans as
an amendment , while the bill will , as
amended , bo opposed by them. There is a
probability against the passage of the bill.
While the silver men will vote for the
amendment and against the bill , the ultra
repeal men will vote against the amenamcnt
nnd for the bill. The majority of the ultra
repeal republicans would probably accept
the bill If It had a bond provision and on
account o ! Its omission may oppose it us a
party.
Democratic Unity Assured.
It seems more than probable that the
democrats will got the concurrence of their
entire party in the senate ; the republicans
will make no effort at united action. The
silver men , if all parties are pleased , will ac

It Is understood that the Treasury depart
ment took the position that it would bo Im
possible to preserve the gold and silver
parity without bonds if the Sherman law
should remain in force more than a year
longer. It was this argument that induced
the silver men to yield us they did to an ex
tension until January 1 , 18U5.
As at present arranged , the bill will explro
in the midst of the next congressional
election , and It is going to bo hard to keep it
out of the campaign. As It Is , there will
probably bo an effortto amend the amend
ment by the increase ot the purchasing tlmo
a year , and the silver men think it possible
they may gain the republican support to put
this through , but all circumstances con
sidered , this is hardly probable.
No Intention ol Giving Up.
One ot the advantages which the silver
men find In the committee's amendment to
the original bill Is that It gives them ground
to stand on while the silver fight shall bo
waged In the future. They say the silver
light has In reality only begun ; that the
present bill is only a stipulation for a brief
time and that.it will bo prosecuted vigor
ously in the regular session.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 21. .Twenty minutes
were used this morning when the sonata reassembled -
assembled after Its recess in securing a
quorum. During much of this wait Senators
Gorman , Hill nnd Voorhees were holding a
consultation. When the forty-third senator
was secured"Mr. , Peffor , populist , of Kansas
resumed his speech against the repeal bill ,
Mr. Teller of the committee on judiciary
reported favorably the house joint resolu
tion providing for the disposition of certain
personal property , amounting to about 1300 , .
000 In the hands of the receiver of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ,
and authorizing its application to the char
itable purposes of the church.
After an amendment had been adopted ,
specifying moro particularly tha uses to
which the money and property should be
applied , the resolution was passed ,
Mr. Poffer then resumed and finished his
speech at 1:15. :
Air. June * Iteiumci IIU Talk.
Mr. Jones of Nevada resumed hU argu
ment against the repeal bll ( . Ho said if ho
was asked to explain in a single sentence
what the hard times meant , ho would s.y
falling prices. That meant voluntary as
signments , putting numerous people in In-
uuua asylums , poor houses and prisons , fur
ther exactions from debtors and general
discouragement ; to all. But the worst effect
of falling prices was upon tholaborerawhom
it deprived of employment.
Mr. Jones argued at great length that the
volume of money should Increase at the ex
isting proportion to the Increase of pooula-
tion , Ho deniea that the value of money
was dependent norf , n Mr , shrrman argued ,
upon the quality , not upon Iho quantity. Ho
aid that the United StilcVhnd reached a
maximum in the production * of silver , nnd
here was no foundation fqr'tho belief that

ty of the arfrument , Inequality was neces
sary to give value to money. Mr. Jones
asked could there lid any doubt if the United
states demonetized ; gold and issued JTiOO-
000.000 of legal tender money , and this sum
was renuirod to parform the entire system ,
which Is now performed by $1,500,000,000 ,
that each legal tender $1 bill would bo three

At this time Mr. Voorheos asKcd whether
t would , ho agreeable to Mr. Jones to yield
n his argument , saying ho understood that
the sontator did not expect to conclude tills
evening.
Mr. .loncs replied ho could not conclude for
two or three days and'would bo very glaa to
yield at this time. '
IJoforo Mr. Voorheos made the motion ho
Intended ho gave wnyito Mr. Harris of Ten
nessee who rose to 'u statement In the na
ture of a question of privilege. Referring to
nn article iu a newspaper , Mr. Harris said :
"Ono clause of the report ot nn Interview
with mo rendered the construction possible
that t had indulged In the langur.go of a
throat as to the vlcoWesldcnt In the event
ho should rule in a given way upon
a given question. The Interview
puts mo In the absurd tind brutal light of de
claring that Iho vlcq' president would bo
killed In his seat If ho pared rule in a given
way upon a question. I simply doslro to say
that no conclusion could bo moro absurd nnd
untrue than such a construction put on any
language used by mo to reporters or other
people. The contest ; * hero nro contests of
reason , not of the prlzq ring , not of brutal
forco. 1 simply dcslro to disclaim utterly
the brutality attributed to me. I am happy
to bo able to say that the relations between
the vice president and myself , both personal'
and ofuciul , have been , of the kindest char
acter from the beginning of our acquaint
ance down to the present tlmo. "
Mr. Voorhees then * moved an executive
session , after which the senate , at ! ) : H5 p.

IN TflE
riimnclnl Discussions Take Up a I.nrgo
I'nrt of the "Time.
WASHINGTON , Oct. l.-iMr. Pendloton
withdrew the McGarranan bill , there being
no quorum present , , tUvjs * saving It from
being put to the foot of tile calendar.
A bill to divide the Ea em judicial dis
tricts of Michigan into"nlo"thorn and south
ern divisions was passCd tmd an interesting
discussion of the financial condition of the
treasury and the country followed. Mr.
McMlllln said It was nolonger [ possible to
ignore the financial 'spruits in which the
treasury was. The treasury was running be
hind moro every rnpntli jlt , had paid out on"
the sinking fund forsome tlmo , and it was no
secret that the troa'surjr Had been driven to
the use of a portion oHho ( $100,000,000 re
serve maintained , to .radccni outstanding
greenbacks to moot cur ? .
Mr. Sayres supplemented Mr. MoMlllm's
statement by a plea'for iho urgent necessity
of economy in view Of ( no deficiency in the
revenues1. Ho'ticclajfad. th'at the deficiency
to bo provided by * the postal service alone
would bo fully tlS.OOftOOO. .
\Vliy There 1 a Deficiency.
Mr. Dlnglcy of Malno insisted the reason
for the failure of the revenues had not been
stated truthfully.They were sufficient
under the administration of the previous
year to meet all the demands made by the
' extravagant legislation , " to'which Mr. Mc
Mlllln had adverted. The revenues , in his
opinion , had fallen off on account of the gen
eral financial and industrial condition of the
country. The deficit' had already reached
3SO,000,000 and would roach $50,000,000 ,
by July 1.1894i Ho maintained that there
was absolutely no authority for the secre
tary of the treasury to draw on the gold
reserve fund to meef .current expenses , and
ho warned the housc'that it was a danger
ous precedent which jvo ld lead to trouble.
If the secretary haa authority to issue bonds
it would1 restore confidence.
A bill to construct a revenue cutter for
the great lakes to replace the Andy John
son , which has boon doing service on Lake
Michigan for thirty years ' , , led to further
financial discussion , tnu'tho morning hour
expired before nctloa.wasy had.
The house then resumed consideration of
the printing bill , whUih was completed , and ,
as amended , it was .reported to the house.
On the passage of the bill the vote stood 71
to 3. Mr. Dcltzhoovcr made the point of no

Munluo'H Wild Itoyolvcr Practice ,
PARIS , Oct. 21 , The outrageous conduct of
a supposed maniac has disturbed the peace
ful program of the Kusslun'vlslt and has cast
a damper over the festivities. Early this
morning , as the Russians were returning to
the Military club at'tcr a whole _ day oi en
joyment , a man who was In the crowd watch
ing the Russian ofllcors'enter the club , sud
denly drew a revolver and fired Into the
throngs of people assoiiblod on the Place do

The man who llred ( ho'phot into the crowd
was promptly seized by citizens and handed

to the scene of the dUt urba'jce. The pris

Willis further said tlia't ho wished to pro

the best way to do so. was to attract atten

The Russian o fliers havp received the

-Special to Tun Bnis.1 The Kussmn fotcs
arc assuming nn unexpected character ,
owing the importance given to the obse
quies of'Marshul MacMahonwhichowing , to
the expressed wish of the czar , who desired
to give another proof of the Franco-Husslan
relations , requested that they , should
take place In Paris during the visit of the
onicerE of his navy to this 'city. The other
powers , however , wished to prevent the
fetes from assuming this aspect , and they
will , therefore , send military delegations to
represent thorn nt the marshal's funeral ,
thus at the saino time paying homage to
France. .
Wo shall accordingly see tomorrow be

also , and so , too , will bo the English , and
thus these obsequies will bo one of those
great politico-military manifestations such
as Berlin has often witnessed.
HUB Ilroucht Honor to Franco.
Nothing could have bettor demonstrated
the importance of the visit of the Russian
nava'l ofliccrs , as. these fetes given in
their honor have sufllcod to restore
Franco to the rank which she had
lost among the great powers of Europe
the tone of oven the German and English
press has been more friendly since they have
become convinced of the absolute pacific
character of the fetes , and the sending of a
wreath for MacMuhon's coftin by Emporior
William has produced a good effect on the
masses hero In Paris. In the midst of the
great burst of cnthusinm Italian aud Gorman
uniforms can pass In the procession without
any danger of insult. All these facts aud
manifestations seem to assure Europe of a
long period of peace.

Emperor IVIDUm'i Health.
The emperor has been benefited by his
stay at the secluded hunting lodge at IIu
bortstock , where ho has been enjoying good
weather. The emperor Is considerably grati
fied with the success of his shooting expedi
tion , ho shot twenty-seven Istags , us well
as much smaller game.
The tact that General Schcllcndorff has
succeeded General Koltonbcrg-Slachau as
Tninlstor of war docs not excite any surprise ,
as itho standing of the latter was such
that his appointment was considered
among the possibilities several months
ago. Reports to the contrary-it now ap.
pears the resignation of the minister of war
was duo to 111 health , outwardly , but , in
reality , it was duo to his complete incompo-
tcncy , not as a military man , but as a
minister aud as a parliamentary de
bater aud tactician. His offensive
and dictatorial manner in the
Reichstag tended to imperil every military
measure brought forward , On several

contrary oftect , measures of Iniportanco to
the government usually foil into disfavor.
The emperor long nio saw that the resigna
tion of General titachnu was Imperative ,
but ho postponed calling for It until the
critical period between the Introduction and
the adoption of thu army bill.
Mow MciiHiire * ol TnxiUlon.
Rcparalng the army bills , the Prussian
minister of finance , Dr. Mlquol , the author
at graduated income tax , Is perfecting his '
scheme for abolishing altogether the existing -
ing tax and to reduce by the same amount ,
namely , 45 marks par 100 kilograms , the
duty on imported tobacco. In place of these
taxes Dr. Mlquol proposes to Introduce a
system of graduated taxation on all manu
factured forms of tobacco intended for con
sumption within the empire. This system
will bo calculated upon the value of raw
material in the production , the idea being to
throw the chlot burden of the tax on the
bettor class of consumers , and the decrease
of consumption will bo averted.
The foreign ofilco at Berlin is closely
watching the outcome , of the interchange of
all notes now passing between the Bulga
rian and Greek governments regarding the
nosslbly hasty action of the Bulgarian po
lice , who fired on the crow of u Greek vessel
In the Danube. This Incident , trivial in
itself , shows a European disturbance might
possibly bo caused by a comparatively insig
nificant happening.
Where thu Attack Occurred.
The incident oocurrod some time ago , a
little way above Widoniu , a stroTicly forti
fied town on the Danube. The captain of
the Greek vessel , it appears , was endeavor
ing to land on tha Bulgarian shore when ho
was challenged by the sergeant referred
to , who asked him if ho had a sani
tary agent on board. Not receiv
ing any reply , the sergeant ordered
the Greek vessel to proceed to
the lazaretto at Widcnln. The captain of
the vessel did not understand , for ho con
tinued to apprdach the shore , which caused
the sergeant to fire his rlflo In the air. The
Greek captain then tried to land on another
point , and at this time the Bulgarian fired at
him , wounding him in the arm. The Greeks
then jumped into the ship's boat and rowed
over to the Roumanian shoro.
The Greek government has made a de
mand for indemnity for the wounding of the
captain and also asks for the punishment of
the sergeant. The Bulgarian government ,
aftnr investigating the matter , declined to
pay the Indemnity in demand. The result
was that the Greek agent afSofia applied to
the Russian minister at Bucharest , who has
charge of the interests of Greece in Rou-
maula and a most interesting scries of
diplomatic negotiations is In progress.

Prince Bismarck continues to make pro-
grcss toward a complete recovery of his

A sensation'at Dussoldorf is exciting
general attention among citizens of Swiss
origin. It appears that Fran Ccvllia
Feldmann was arraigned In company
with .a prominent Dussoldorf mer
chant named Joseph Hommcrllng ,
charged with misappropriation of half the
property of her husband. It seems that
Frau Fcldmnan was to bo llicadmlnlstratrlx
of the estate of her husband , who was con
fined in an asylum for the insane at Grift-
burg in 1834 , and that his estate once
amounted to 1,000,000 marks. Frau Fold-
maim bases her defense on the law of the
state of Now York , which , she claims , en
titles her to half her husband's property.
Frau Fuldmann , It appears , was on intimate
terms of friendship with the Dussoldorf
merchant , Ilcmmorllng , and his wife , to
whom , in 18SS , she transferred full
powers to administer the estate of
her husband. IIerr llo-minorllng udmlt's
having received ' 100,000 marks , which ho de
clares ho disposed of according to Frau
Fohlmann's instructions and explained that
her friendship was merely neighborly , The
trial will last several days and promises
some Interesting developments ,

It Is the intention of the government to de

I was the first to bring the decision of the
cabinet to Weeks and nis wife. The no
ctisod received the news coolly and seemed to
bo relieved that the suspense was over. Ho
"said ho Intended to start for the United
States Immediately. Ho has a letter from
a friend In Now York indicating an Improved
condition in his affairs. When Mrs. Weeks
hoard that her husband must return to Now
York and bo put on trial ho collapsed.
Weeks' .attorney , Don Mahro Fernandez ,
was greatly disappointed when the decision
was announced. Ho says ho will make no
attempt to secure the release of Weeks by
habeas corpus or other proceedings. Ho la
ronfldont Weeks can obtain ball in Novr
York.
As to the Ileeltton ,
The decision to surrender Weeks was not
reached until careful consideration had been
had. The cabinet called Into consultation
Don Ricardo Jlmlncz , formerly chief justlca
of the supreme court of the republic. A con-
fcrcnco was then culled , which was composed
of the leading lawyers and prominent cltliona
of San Jose. This is known bora ns n junta

conference all of Clio facts and arguments
In the case. When the opinions of all had
been expressed the cabinet decided unani
mously to grant the request of the- United
States. The foreign oflice notified Consul
