! BISMARCK, September 5.-The pro-

laying the corner stone of Dakota's capitol
was announced to take place. At that early
hour the streets were already filled with de-
corated carriages and wagons, in which were
the beauty of the city and prairies, number
ing not less than 5000. The Willard party
was escorted to the grounds, where no time
was lost IN preliminaries. Governor Ordway
welcomed the party to Bismarck, the capital
| of Dakota. Closing his speech he said: 81

lard, and you, Jay Cooke, whom we all
recognize as the Alpha and Omega of a great
national enterprise, the completion Of which
you are now on your way TO celebrate 10 as
sist in placing the corner stone of the capitol
of Dakota
Willard replied, thanking the people of
Dakota for the great attention shown his
guests. He said: II am glad to assist in
laying the corner stone. In behalf of rep
resentatives of my native land Ct me add
they, l am assured, feel particularly proud
to be able to assist at this ceremony in a
town that bears the name of the greatest
living German statesman. In conclusion
be said:
MAY this edifice be the seat Of good and
honest government. May 1t be the seat of
wise legislation, and of all the blessings of
justice and liberty that are the birthright of
American freedom.' Loud applause
Gov. Ordway next presented the German
minister, Baron Eisendecker, with an en-
crossed copy Of resolutions of citizens of
Bismarck, in honor of the German chancel-
lor, after whom the city is named. The
baron accepted the resolutions in q few neat
remarks. He said he wished the capital of
the territory would make its name sound
through the land as highly rs the name of its
godfather sounds in Germany. [Cheers.l
Hon. VIM. N. Evarts spoke briefly. Gen.
Grant was then called for, and said:

quest. AS you are aware from your read

tives, unless congress hasten to admit you.
Remarks were made by Carl Schurz, Mr..
Billings, Carter Harrison and Secretary
Teller. Sitting Bull was then introduced,
and his remarks were translated by an inter.
prefer.
Willard then closed the ceremony. When
the box was ready to be placed in position,
Gov. Ordway invited those present to de-
post anything they wished. Many gentle
men put in their cards.

Unveiling..of the statue of Lafayette
took place Thursday in Lepuy in the pres
ence of an immense crowd despite the Sc
we're rain. The streets were decorated with
American and French flags, and triumphal
arches were erected over the prominent
avenues. Ministers Morton and Sargent
were present, together with number of
distinguished representatives of French
official life. Senator Vissangel delivered
the opening address, in which he eulogized
Lafayette as one of the principal authors of
French liberty. He characterized him as
the forerunner of he French republic.
Minister Morton said he desired to eX-
press in the interest of the government the
affection felt by the citizens Of the United
States for the patriot who, next to Washing
ton, had awakened the gratitude of all
American hearts as an ardent lover of lib
erty. Would that he could now see the
result of his noble work. America had
attained that prosperity and splendor which
Lafayette had predicted. The nations of
France and America were never more united
than now, and may that friendship which
Washington and Lafayette founded remain
unbroken. Senator Lafayette, in a brief
address, returned thanks to the memorial
committee and to the eminent men present
for the honor conferred upon the memory of
his ancestor.
