A. wilmington, where the train halted for
a short time, there was a grand gathering OF
the people of that enterprising place and the
vicinity. Fiags were fyina, the hremen had
their apparatus out and kept up clamor Of
toously around the train to get look Or ex-
change salutations with the strangers.
The approach to philadelphia gave evidence
Of the beginning Of the tremendous gathering
Of people who were out to greet the strangers.
Even on the most distant suburbs through
w which the road enters the city, there were
crowds of gaxers, and the depot was surround
ed ON every side BY dense masses OF people
The train was run into the depot, which was
kept closed by the police, and there the En-.
bassy were Introduced TO Mayer Henry and
very briefly welcomed. Carriages were In
waiting, TO which the Japanese were conduct

committee from Baltimore being assigned
position between the Common aud Select
Councils of Philadelphia. Passing from
the depot yard the carriages defiled through
long line Of military. the streets, pavements,
and houses being literally packed with people.
The route was admirably chosen to show
off the city. Passing up Walnut to Nine
tcenth street the procession passed for two
miles through the fash ionable quarter Of the
city. Splendid mansions lined either side OF
The way, the windows, balconies, ana door,

full evening costume, whilst the sidewalks
were everywhere o continued series of solid
masses OF people Passing down Arch streeI,
and along Third 10 Chestnut, 4 portion VI the
finest business part of the city was traversed.
and here the scene WAS again very Effective
Fi8gs were carried from house TO house, aud
the tall warehouses were teeming with people.
Chestnut street was grand panorama-the
magnificent buildings, crowded and thronged
| In every part. the dense mass Of people, the
waving lags and the mineliEg Of music and
cheering, making the scene most animated
one. The military display was very hne.-
Tommy made himself very conspicuous,
and the crowd hailed him everywhere with
