NEW YORK, December 1.-THE pa,
rade Of the InternatiDnale came of to
day, and proved a success. The oc
casion was regarded not only as 9
mark of sympathy for the cause in
which Rossel and his comrades suf
feled, but also as a triumph over the
police commissioners.
At noon the gathering commenced
In the neighborho0d Of Cooper's insti.
tute, and soon the thoroughfares on
the other side of it on Third and
Fourth avenues became nearly block
AIDED, there being, besides the intend
ing processionists, immense crowds of
holiday street-gazers, who from time
to time were cheering every one in
general, and the female communists,
Woodruff and Claf1in in particular.
at about quarter past two O'Clock
there was q general stir among the
masses, and soon the solemn notes OF
the funeral dirge was heard from the
band of the Hawkins ZOuaves,
which were formed in column. Inn
mediately after them came platoon
OF the Skidmore guards (colored), and
then Messrs. Banks and Fluereau, fol-
lowed by a number of ladies on foot,
among them Miss Tennie q. CIafiin,
carrying a red flag, which bore this
inscription: 81. A. W., section twelve;
social and political equality for both
sexes" and Miss Victoria Woodruff.
Then followed the societies and unions
in the following order: The Cuban
lesgue, bearing Cuban flags; another
Gro Wd of femalessand some males; the
drum corps of Hawkins zOuaves; q
cataialque, upon which were three
coffius, drawn by six horses; NJ. NJ. |
Deveure and General Megy, late com
mander Of Fort Issy; the pail bearers,
and walking with them about dozen |
refugees from Paris; the French |
legion, Printers union, brick |
layers association and eabinetmakers'
union, and five carriages-in all, close |
on two thousand people. In the fore
most carriage sat General Rysn, Of
Cuban notoriety and the Fenian chief, |
ODonOvan Rosa. In the other car
riage rode Mrs. Frances Rose McKin- |
ley. The catafalque was substantially |
yet tastefully made, draped in black, |
the inscription on the sides Deing, in |
white letters: ITO the martyrs Of the |
universal republic" 1t was decorated |
with red flags and streamers, mingled |
with mourning Grape. The procession
lists generally wore red rOsettes and |
scarfs, with black Grape, and the ban
ners and flags were nearly all Of the |
same color. The banner captured last |
Sunday by the police was one of the |
most noticeable. 1t bore the inscrip-
ton, "The spirit of the commune ex-
psnds as the ak of the executioner |
falls upon the neck5 of its martyrs"
On another banner was "The world |
is our country :" "To do good is our
on another. The common
line OF procession was down BOWery
to Great Jones street; next to Broad |
way; across Broadway to Waverly |
place; thence to Fifth avenue; up |
Fifth avenue to Thirty-fOurth street;
thence to Sixth avenue; thence to For
ty-fourth street; thence to the Lincoln
monument, in Union square, around |
which the prOcessionists marched, and /
then dispersed. Fifth avenue Wasen-
tirely deserted for the nOnce by the
who took refuge behind
their window-curlains, occasionally
Deeping out at the Reds. The great
sst order prevailed throughout.
