UNWILLING OF THE STATUE OF THE AD
MIRAL.
WASHINGTON April 25-To-day thu
statue of the late Admiral Farragut will bt
unveiled with imposing ceremonies The
city presents gala appearance, numerous
houses along Penn. avenue are decorated
with bunting, and the portico of the Exc
cutive Mansion is tastefully draped with
the National colors. Three large stands
for the President Cabinet, Orators and in
yited guests have been erected on three
sides of the statue, and are profusely orna-
mented, while the stately mansions fronting
the Park on either side are festooned and
draped with streamers and flags of every
nation.
The procession formed at II a. m in the
neighborhood of the capitol at 12 o'clock.
A gun was fired by the naval artillery and
the procession moved in column of com
panies from the capitol by way of Penna
Ave, to 18th Street, to Penna Avenue and
Connecticut Avenue to Farragut Square,
When the head of the column
reached 18th st. gun was fired by the
naval saluting battery stationed in La
fayette square, as a signal to notify the
President and cabinet to proceed to the
square. On arriving at the Park, the
cadets and Naval division massed on the
west side and the army division on the
north side.
At 1885 D. m. the Presidential party
took seats in the stands, and after praying,
the statue was unveiled with elaborate Ger
emony, and flourish of trumpets by Quar-
ter Master Knowles of Farragut's ships at
the battle of Noble Bay, and who lashed
Farragut to the mast.
Secretary Hunt introduced Garfield He
said:
Ladies and gentlemen, have the pleas
ure to introduce to you the President of
the United States, who viii accept, on
behalf of the nation, this statue of our il
lustrious naval hero.
President Garfield was greeted with loud
applause, and spoke in loud clear voice
as follows:
Fellow citizens-It is the singular prov
ince of art to break down limita-
tions which separate generations of
men from each other and allow
those of past generations to be comrades
and associates of those now living. This
Capitol is silently being filled up with
heroes of the times. Men of three wars
have taken their places in silent eloquence,
as guardians and guards of the nation they
loved so well; as years pass on, these
squares and public places will be rendered
more and more popuIous; more and more
eloquent by the presence of dead heroes of
other days; from all quarters of the coun-
try, from all generations of its life, from
all portions of its service, these heroes are
to take their places and stand as perman-
ent guardians of our nations glory.
Hon. Daniel W. Worries then amid
loud applauses advanced to the front of
the speakers platform and delivered most
eloquent speech.

FLOOD.

ST. LOUIS, April 25.-The river is rising
and rapidly approaching the danger line.
About another foot of water will submerge
some lowland in the northern part of the
city and inundate part of the bottom on
the Illinois side of the river Much APP
prehension is felt for the property on both
sides of the river, and measures are being
taken to protect it. Old steamboat men
are now predicting flood of unusual mag
nitude, and say if the present warm wealth
er continues, and particularly if there oc-
ours much rainfall in the north, a
freshet equal to that of 1877 will
likely follow.
