al

The BerthOldi Statue Formally Pre-
sented.
PARIS, July 4.-The formal presenta-
tion of the Bartholdi statue of Liberty
Enlightening the World" by the French
Government to the United States took
place in the Gauthier workshop to-day.
L. 2. Morton, United States Minister to
France, was present and received the
statue in the name of his government.
Prime Minister Ferry sent letter stat
ing that he regretted that illness pre-
vented him from assisting at the scene of
fraternity between the twogreat republics.
In heart and soul he would participate.
M. de Lesseps made speech.
He said that France under all
governments had always been the
friend and ally of America. America now
realized that the Panama canal was a
work of universal interest. The statue
would forever pledge bonds of unity be-
tween France and the great American
people.
Minister Morton in replying thanked
France in the name of President Arthur
and the people Of the United States. He
said that he was charged to assure M.
de Lesseps, hi. Ferry and the French ma
tion that the American people responded
with all their hearts to the sentiments of
friendship. The noble gift which that
friendship had dictated would render the
gratitude of the American people still
more profound and stronger. He hoped
that the statue would remain for all time
an emblem Of the imperishable sympathy
uniting both countries.

TORONTO, July 4.-To-day was set
apart for parade of the Give societies,
and everything being ready, the process
sion started down Yonge street, with ban
ners nYing and bands playing, making a
magnificent spectacle. The sky had for
some time looked threatening, and the
procession had proceeded but a short dis
tance when the rain fell in torrents, and a
general stampede took place. Rain con-
tinued to fall, and it was decided to give
up the idea of carrying on the procession.
but endeayors will be made to have it to-
morrow. The streets were crowded with
people, who, Notwithstanding the rain,
kept their place for few hours, in expec-
tation of seeing the procession.

BUCKING AN IRISH ROCK.

Graphic Description by a Society Girl
OF an Ocean Incident on the s'Au-
rania."
A cable news paragraph, says the New
York World, recently mentioned the fact
that the Cunard steamer Aurania, on her
last outward trip from New York touched
a rock on the coast of Ireland. Letters
lately received in this city by relatives OF
passengers on the Aurania give full ac.
counts of the mishap and show how
staunch a vessel the Aurania is. A very
graphic description Of the event has been
sent by we'll known young married
lady, who is prominent in New York so
ciety, to her father. She states that the
trip up till midday Of Wednesday, June
IL, had been a very pleasant one, and as
there were many New Workers mutually
acquainted on board the time had passed
very enjOyably. Soon after noon on
Wednesday, however, the Aurania be-
came enyelOped in a dense fog as they
were approaching the Irish coast.
''Mr. l., Miss W. and myself," continues
the narrator, ''were standing on deck for
ward about 80 O'Clock. It was still
twilight and the last rays Of the sun had
given the dense fog which surrounded us
a pinkish tinge. Suddenly Miss w. said

out of the mist before us. 1t was too late

struck it with much force, then rebounded
and stuck il again. 1t was moment OF
suspense and then came the orders, sharp
and quick, to reverse the engines, close
the compartments and watch the boats.
Every one was ordered Immediately on
deck, aud every one was self-pOssessed,
so great was the effect of the admirable
discipline displayed by officers and crew.

Whatever else may be said of the move

candidate, says the Chicago Times, it is
never idle, and the chief manager, Mr.. N.

use to try to sneer down Buffers strength: /:
he has it, and Lamar is a man whom ali
the country respects, both for his ability
and his honesty. He was on the wrong
side of the late unpleasantness, but But
Ter was on the other, and ticket like
that would not only be successful. but it
would forever heal up all the sectional
bitterness that now exists. 1t would

CHANGES ON THE COAST. .
The GeOdetic Survey Puts a Flea in tn
Ear of the Mariners.

The Geodetic Survey Puts Flea in the
Ear of the Mariners.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-The United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey has
issued the following notice of important
changes at and near Cape Henlopen: The
first beacon lighthouse at Cape Henlopen,
owing to the inroads of the sea, now stands
about % yards outside of the high-water
line, and is consequently in imminent
danger OF being washed away. Mariners
should bear this in mind, and should they
at any time, in coming in, be able TO see
the range of the beacon with the cape
light or breakwater light, they should not
attempt to enter unless they have a good
pilot, or they should at least keep to the
northward of the breakwater range.
1t is intended by the United States en-
gineers to Immediately begin the filling
in of the channel between the eastern end
Of the ice breaker and the western ex-
tremity of the breakwater by sinking a
mattress of brush and branches prepara-
tory to entirely closing the opening by a
continuous wall of stone. Mariners must
beware of using this passage hereafter as
1t Will OF necessity become more shallow
day by day, and an attempt to pass
through would be dangerous.
A life saving station has lately been
built about twenty-five yards back of the
beach and about five hundred yards to
the eastward of the railroad wharf at

''The price continues at thirteen TO
thirteen and fourth cents per pound in

The general belief is that there is a
much larger stock in first hands than
usual. In 1880 the unusual demands of
the Presidential campaign caused scare
ity in nitrate of strontia. which gives the
color to red fire, and as high as thirty
cents per pound was realized. The policy

STRIKING AT BUTLER.
Delegates Ought to Pledge ThemseIy

Delegates Ought to Pledge Themselves
to support the Nominee
The only notable arrivals at Chicago.
says special, up to 6 O'Clock Wednesday
evening were Gen. A. S. Bragg, of Wis.,
consin, and Jay Hubbell, of Michigan.
The latter does not expect to be consulted
as to the conventions work, but he was
free to declare as a Republican that he
believed Ben Butler would poll a larger
Democratic vote than any other man in
the field. Gen. Bragg states that Wiscon-
sin is solid for Tilden, and, if he will not
accept, the delegation would like to sup-
port Cleveland, provided the New York
delegation determines to vote for him.
Chicago is growing very dismal over the
tardy arrival of delegates. Six days be-
fore the Republican Convention the caul-
dron was bubbling and sputtering at a
great rate, and half the States in the
Union were represented here. To-day.
on the contrary, the delegates in the city
did not number five, and of managers and
advance agents there were less than ten
on the ground. The impression is gain
ing ground that the whole business Of the
convention is being arranged at New
York and Washington, so that the con-
vention itself will be little more than a
ratification meeting.
Col. Bright, X-Sergeant-at-Arms of the
Senate, who is to serve in that capacity at
the convention, has drawn up set of
terse rules or instructions. They read as
follows: "Admit no man without a
ticket. Be polite but firm in refusal.
Be courteous and dispassionate to every
body, and if you open your mouths to
shout, yell or in other imaginable manner
boom candidate you will be kicked out
without fear or favor"
The attitude of Ben Butler is a very
popular subject of conversation. 1t is
suggested by the friends of some of the
other candidates that a resolution should
be introduced at the outset pledging dele-
gates to support the nominee, and requir-
ing that any delegate, in order to qualify
himself to assist IN the choice of candi-
date for the Democratic party, should
agree that when that candidate is chosen,
he the delegate) will renounce all claims
upon the franchises of the people which
might in any manner initiate against the
success of the party. In fact, such res
olution has already been drawn up.
