from all the AVar Ships
The President's Re
ception. New York, April 27. All New York
awoke this morning to find a steady
downpour of rain ushering in the day of
the great pageant. A chilly northeast
wind added to the discomfort, and sonfff
100,000 people, who had arranged to
new the grandest marine spectacle ever
presented in American waters, were dis
appointed. The rain, however, did not
keep all at home. There was a steady
stream toward North river all the morn
ing and hundreds of excursion boats,
steam yachts, tugs and other craft were
filled with sight-seers who were not kept
at home by the disagreeable weather.
Other crowds who sought places along
the docks, on the tops of buildings and
at Riverside park pladded through mud
and stood in pools of water with um
brellas and mackintoshes keepingout
portions of the wet. 1
At 10:30 o'clock the signal boat dish
ing started out and, running along side
each vessel in the line, carried informa
tion, that the review was postponed un
til 1 o'clock p. m. The postponement
was ordered by Secretary Herbert at the
suggestion of the President. The excur
sion steamers put back to the docks.
The blowing of hundreds of whistles
and the booming of guns at 1 :15 o'clock
announced that the President had em
barked, and almost instantly-the crews
of the men-of-war all along the line
went to position' facing the rail and : at
tne mastneaas ana topsails, ine rain
had ceased, and, while the clouds hung
low over head, there were indications
that led anxious spectators to hope for
tne appearance ol the sun. At luSO
o'clock the first boom of a ten inch
gun on the Maintonomah an
nounced that the Dolphin with the
President on board was passing up
between the two columns of war vessels.
The roar of the Miantonomah's twenty-
one guns was was followed by a salute
from the Brazilian ships Republica and
Tiradentes. The Dolphin replied to the
Brazilians and a cloud of smoke rose
over the lower end of the line of war
ships. The Brazilians manned the yards
just before the firing and the long lines
of blue jackets stood out against the
white background of smoke. The Dol
phin moved at a slow and stately gait
and the salute of each ship was distinct
and sharp. The Aquidaban, the flagship
of -the .Brazilian fleet, hmshed the sa
luting at 1:40 o'clock and the Nueva Es-
pana took its turn.
The Dolphin was followed at a dis
tance of about 500 feet by the Blake and
she in turn by the Miantonomah. At
1.44 o'clock the Seeadler, of the German
fleet, fired her first gun. She was fol
lowed a moment biter by the Reina Re-
gente, of the starboard column, and the
twoships.one on each side of the Dolphin,
made the welkin ring. The Kaiserin
Augusta joined the chorus, and the
echoes rolled up he Palisades and down
a cram, until one seemed to hear a long
Hue of artillery reaching for miles on the
jersey shore, the bands on the ship3
played national airs, but it was only at
intervals between the roar of the gun3
that the music could be heard. The von
Speyke and Infanta Isabella's salutes ran
into each other. There was a pause for
a moment and Argentine s cruiser belch
ed f opth a flash that was responded to
bv the big &uns on the Giovanna Buson
It was 1 :53 o'clock when the Concord
enoke, and she spoke so rapidly that her
salute was done in two minutes. The
Etna paid her respects next. Then, after
a 6hort pause, a light blue puff arose
above the dynamite tubes on the Vesu
vius and a few seconds later there was a
dim overhead as though the sky was
mails nf sheet iron and a bomb had
struck it. People at the foot of Fifty
ninth street had not recovered from their
embarrassment when a sharp tongue of
fire shot out from the side of the Jean
Bart and there was a report that made
women scream and windows rattle aiong
the river frynt, !
At. a .-i'elock the Yrorktown and Are-
tlmsfl saluted toe-ether" gun for gun.
Then theie was an interval during which
the bands could be heard playing, and
ti,A rhf-era of the sailors reached the
shore. The Chicago then opened fire
and a moment later the Russian Rj-nda
added her guns to the chorus, ine rai
tti-.n A and General Admiral followed.
At 2:08 o'clock the Tartar, the first of
the British ships, saluted, The guns; of
the. Bancroft and San Francisco- vyere
at the same time. The British
Magicienne and the Atlanta fired almost
simultaneously. Tha Dolphin lessened
her speed as she approached the head of
the line and tnere was an interval tie
thfi firiner from ships. Each ves
sel began saluting as the Dolphin's bow
came abreast. Ten minutes after she
had nasaed the jack tars came down
from their positions.
It was just 2:12 o'clock as England s
crack cruiser, ,the Blake fired her first
gun. There was a big puff of smoke and
a deep boom entirely different from I the
sharp spund of the guns of the smaller
vessels. The Philadelphia saluted as the
Dolphin reached the hefid of the line ana
came to a stop- just in wie tea tff ine (. u,i
veld. At the same time au the glean
boats, tugs and pleasure craft blew their
whistles and made a din almost as tleaf-
enine- as -the saluting. There was
.- heerinar and waving of hats, handker
chiefs and umbrellas and the triumphal
procession of the Presidential party was
ended. The whistles sent up a cloud of
stenm which, added to the smoke of the
truns, obscured ti3 yjew of a large por
tion of the rivef. .
The admirals of the different sfuad
roons then embarked in steam launches
and proceeded to the Dolphin.
At 2:i!0 o clock the merchant marine
was sitmalled to get away. The Seabird
with the committee on board rounded the
head of the double column of nien-of
war and started down the river on the
New York side. The Al Foster followed
and the police patrol tugs fell in line two
hv two. Alter tnem came tugs, steam.
boats and steam yachts, two and thre
abreast and all with whistles blowing
men shouting n4 women waving para-
cols as thev passed eaen man-oi-war.
fhe commotion that followed had neVer
been equalled in Hudson river. Liouas
of steam rose from tugs and blew across
the . men-of-war. Th crews of
tha men-of-war faced the rail
and waved hats and handkerchiefs
at the noisy tugs and steamboats as they
passed. Several steam yachts saluted
the -men-of-war with one gun which
sounded like a toy pistol after the big
r,ins of the men-of-war. The whistles
fV.j Hitra and steamers kept up a con
tinual tooting and blowing from" the
t;m fho-c werfi ven permission to start
until the lower end of tha long line ! of
the squadron was reached. The monotony
of the noise of whistles was varied by
the sirens on several fcuffS and fire ..boats
Thfi nassentrflrs on the steamboats
crowded to the side toward the men-of-war
and many of the steamers seemed
in imminent danger of careening. They
went down the river with -.- one paddle
wheel in the air and the guards under
the water and starboard deck awash. In
the procession of boats were steamers
from Albany and Troy, from Long Island
sound, from Shrewsbury river, Newark,
N. J. , Staten Island ferry boats; and
boats from hundreds of near-by points.
One ocean steamer, the Roanoke, of the
Charleston line, was even pressed into
service and the lighthouse tenders, cus
tom house boats and barges towed by
puffing tugs were numerous. i
The reception of the admirals by
President lasted until 4:40 o'clock p.
Then his flag was hauled down on
the
m.
the
Dolphin and he went ashore at Ninety
sixth jstreet and at a signal from the Phil
adelphia the guns of the entire fleet
belched forth simultaneously. Each
vessel fired twenty -one shots and the
roar that they made was deafening:
When it subsided, smoke hung in heavy
clouds over-the river, and the Jersey
shore was invisible for some minutes.
The admirals returned ., to their
ships and the steamboats which
still lingered with passengers j de
sirous of seeing all of the great naval
pageant, went to their piers and the
ceremonies were over. j
From the time the President started
on his tour through the lines until the
final salute was fired, the weather) was
cloudy, with rain. The air was cold and
unpleasant. The wind came out of, the
northeast. It was ah improvement upon
the forenoon, btit it was not a pleasant
day on the river and on the exposed
points of vantage along the shore. J
GLADSTONE IN" DANGER.
I
A Humor That an Attempt was Made
to Shoot Him in St. James Park.
London, April . 26. The Pall Mall
Gazette to-day ; contains a most sensa
tional article beaded "Rumors of an At
tempt to Slioot Gladstone," the type
used for the headlines being the largest
in use for that purpose. The paper states
that an alleged attempt upon the Prime
Minister's life was made while Mr Glad
stone was walking through St. James
Park at midnight last night on his way
to his home in Downing street. ,;The
accuracy of the report of the Pall Mall
Gazette is doubtful. It is probable that
the story is based upon the fact that a
man now in custody on the charge of
firing a revolver in the public thorough
fare had in one of his pockets a note
book containing a number of entries
dealing with recent movements of Glad
stone. Notwithstanding the statements
made that Gladstone was in no danger
of being shot and that no importance is
attached to the anair, there is a grow
ing suspicion that Gladstone was nearer
being nred at that his friends are wil
ling to admit. The man under arrest is
named William Tousend. He is 38 years
old, a resident of Sheffield. The officer
who arrested him saw him mount the
steps of Gladstone's residence shortly
after Gladstone had entered. v hen the
policeman ordered him to descend Jie
hred at the officer, and subsequently
struggled desperately against being ar
rested. Tounsend asserts that the dis
charge of the revolver was accidental.
London, April 27. It has been learned
that Gladstone, who attended a dinner
parry last night, was walking home alone
at the time the man who fired the re
volver was arrested, fie saw nothing of
the occurrence and no one now believes
that any attempt was ma le to 6hoot him.
When the shooter was arranged in the
Bow Street police court this morning the
policeman who arrested him stated that
the man had discharged a revolver in
the Horse Guards park near Downing
street. He evidently intended to shoot
an officer. An examination of his note
book revealed the fact that is contained
a mass of ravings .again st Irish home
rule, amid which was a suggestion that
the murder of Gladstone would be justi
fiable. Upon this slender foundation the
report of an attempted murder of uiad
stone was constructed.
The Chicago Markets. -
Chicago, April 27. A Sensational
bulge of over $1 a barrel for pork occur
red on 'Change here to-day. There was
a general panic among the shorts in that
commodity. The day was a wearing one
upon brokers for commission houses,
for while jumps of from 10 to 20 cts per
barrel between trades, now up and now
down, the execution of orders at speci
fied limits was frequently impossible. It
It was a lively-day in the pit from the
start to th finish. Several days ago
beptember delivery was about fw per
barrel. It has been forced stsadily up
until this last raise of $1 brought the
price up nearly , to S30. As there are
only 70,000 barrels of pork in Chicago,
and according to the rules of the Board
of Trade, nc pork can be manufactured
between now and October 1st which a
speculative purchaser could be com
pelled to take on delivery, it will be seen
just how much of a cinch the bull end

the Chamber of Deputies in agreeing to

two Chambers is thus removed, and it
is expected that harmony will be entirely

In some places in North Carolina the

importance than the man who is to run

withstood the heavy downpour all the
morning with the wind at fifty -four
miles an hour without damage. Reports
from Wisconsin and Illinois points
indicate extensive damage, j Many fami

Bonita, a small railroad town, and ut
terly destroyed everything in its path,
demolishing houses, twisting down trees
and snapping oft, telegraph poles. TJie
house of a farmer a few miles from Bon
ita was strowed for a mile around and
the man killed outright. Three of his
children were blown into a well and all
of them, it is thought, will die. St. Jo,
a town eight miles from Bonita also suf
fered, but no loss of life is reported.
uutheie, u. l., April '41. The. very
latest and most authentic ; information
obtainable from the cyclone devastated
section of the Territory is to the effect
that I'tom fif tj: to sixty human fives were
lost and twenty-five people fatally in
jured, and a hundred more with injuries
more or less serious. Five ; distinct cy
clones visited dinerent parts of the Ter

Theardj in the Civil District court, de
livered a decision yesterday in the "Jim
Crow" car case. Sheriff Brousard, of
Lafayette parish, sued the Illinois Cen
tral railroad for $10,000 damages for
ejection from one of the trains of the
company. The court decided against
him. : He bought two first class tickets
for the purpose of taking a crazy negro
prisoner to the State asylum at Jackson,
La- He placed his prisoner in the smok
ing section of ' the white car and the
sheriff, who was ill, went in the non
smoking section. The conductor-- told
him he would have to take his prisoner
into the colored car or else sit with film
in the smokimcar section, common to
both races. Brousard objected, and he
and his prisoner were ejected. The
court held with the conductor that the
law did not discriminate except in favor
ol colored nurses ot white children, and
as the railroad company was subject to
a penalty if it violated the law the con
ductor's action ;was justifiable. The
question of convenience was one for the
Legislature and the 6uit was dismissed.

Raleigh, April 27. f
It is really quite remarkable how little
space most of the State papers devote to
the James City affair. One would have
thought such a movement of troops, the
largest since the war ended, would have
been elaborately written up, but as to the
troops themselves there is literally no
news at all. A good correspondent in
camp could have furnished much matter
of interest, whereas not a single line has
appeared regarding the troops since they
went into camp Monday evening. . It
was expected by many that the troops
would return yesterday; It is gratifying
to know that the ranks were so well filled.
The little Gruendler child which was
knocked down and stamped in so horri
ble a manner by another white boy, has
died. The body of the child was black
and blue. The boy who, the physician
says, caused death, must have "jumped
upon young Gruendler taany times. ! The
case attracts much attention hpr ' vnr
correspondent does not recall another
UKU It.
William H. Pace, Esq., a well known
lawyer, died at his beautiful homo
early this morning. He was a native of
this county and a" graduate of Wake For
est college and married a daughter of
Col. J. M. Heck. Months ago a cancer
of the mouth developed, and soon at
tacked the throat. Many operations
were performed. Mr. Pace was wealthy.
He held considerable coal mining prop
erty at Coal Creek, Tennessee.
To the great delight of everybody the
clouds rolled by this morning and the
sun shone out. The weather is much
warmer. -
