Charles ton has been thronged throughout the day by thousands of strangers from South Carolina and the neighboring States, who had come to the city to see Admiral Bonce s fleet that has been blockading this port, pass in review be fore the Secretary of the Navy H. A. Herbert. Among the special guests of the city for the day were:. Gov. , w. H. EUerbee. of South Carolina, all the State officers, 'and Senators and leg islators. These gentlemen were Drought to Charleston during the day, and they were among the most interested spec tators of -the official : communications which occurred between the fleet and the Secretary. - Secretary Herbert and his party, consisting of ..Mrs. B. $. Micou, Mrs. Clover, Mrs. Southeriand, Mrs. Harrison, Gen. M. C. Butler, Col. T. Stobo Farrow, Mr. I H. Finney, Jr., and H. A. Herbert, Jr., arrived In the city- from Washington, In the special car "Scipio," via the Atlantic Coast Une, at 8 o'clock this morning. They were met at the depot at 8 o'clock, by a committee consisting of Mayor Smyth, Collector of the Port George D. Bryan, District Attorney W. Perry Murphy, T. R. McGahan, George B. Kd wards and St. John P. Klnloch. As the Secretary stepped from his car a salute of 27 guns was fired by detach ments by the First Division, South Carolina naval reserves, under Captain Dubois. The party was then escorted to the Charleston Hotel, where break fast was served and the Secretary and his friends rested until 11 o'clock. They were then escorted to the custom house dock, where they boarded the revenue cutter Colfax. The Secretary was sa luted as he boarded the ships, all the sailors beinfT drawn an in man-o'war fashion. A few minutes later Governor fcalerbee s special train drew -up on the Biding, and the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, M. B. McSweeney, and Speaker F. B. Garry were taken off to the cutter, salutes also being awarded them. The harbor was full of pleasure craft of all descriptions, which only waited for the cutter to lead the way to cast loose their hawsers and follow her to the bar. The day was an ideal one. In the city it had been so warm that wraps were uncomfortable, but on the water, top coats were not out of place. At the entrance to the Jetties an unforseen trouble arose. The cutter and its train of pleasure craft ran full into a heavy fog, which set the whis tles and bells a-go in a perfect din of noise. Many of the small boats put back into port and the larger vessels slowed down their engines and drifted around for an hour. The cutter worked her way down to the Columbia, where Secretary Herbert requested the pres ence of Captain Sands on the cutter. Captain Sands informed him that the flagship New York was lying just to the northward and the Colfax moved off once more. When the flagship was picked up in the fog, Admiral Bunce received a summons from the Secretary and came along side in his cutter. The moment he stepped aboard his pen nant was run up and the little cutter became the flagship. The Admiral was told by the Secretary that he desired to board the battleship Maine, to pre sent, Seaman W. J. Creelman with a medal awarded him for his distinguish ed conduct during the storm. So with both Secretary and Admiral aboard, the cutter once more got under way. Captain Crowinshields, of the Maine, was hailed, and informed that two offi cials would board his ship with their party. The transfer was made with out trouble, the jacks and officers re ceiving their superior officers with the customary salute and formality. With the ships crew drawn up on deck, Cap tain Crowninshield gave the orders for IN aval Cadet Gheradi, his gun-boat crew, and Seaman W. J. Creelman, to step forward-. Addressing them. Secre tary Herbert spoke' of their gallant conduct during the storm. They had, he said, made him proud of the navy; and then singling out Creelman, the Secretary presented him with the gold medal and an envelope containing $100, with a few words in commendation of his gallant deed. When these ceremo nies were concluded the visitors be came the guests of the wardroom of the Maine. When the company was seated Secretary Herbert lifted his glass, and said that, he requested that every one should rise and drink the health of Naval Cadet Gherardl, whose gallantry was now the admiration of his fellow officers and the nation. Nearly two hours had been spent on the Maine. When the Secretary re turned to the Colfax, accompanied by Admiral Bunce, the cutter steamed down the line of warships, receiving from each a salute as she crossed the bow. This ended the ceremonies of the day and the cutter steered for port, arriving at her dock at 6:30 o'clock. To night Secretary Herbert, Governor EI lerbee, Admiral Bunce, the captains and executive officers of each of the ships became the guests of the cham ber of commerce at a banquet which was a most elaborate one. The Maine was to-day ordered to New Orleans. The Amphitrite, Dol phin, Vesuvius and Fern came into the harbor to-night, miring the morning the fleet was Joined by the Terror, which win come up to the city to-mor row. The reception which has been ten dered Secretary Herbert will take place at the city hall to-morrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, and at night the secretary. Admiral and officers will be the guests of the city at a naval ball. Dead Timber a nd Ked Tape. Washington. Feb. 17.

But the promise was not fulfilled, and after the first hour the market became dull and continued almost listless until the close.
