Wellington Press: Senator Plumb is
receiving many compliments on his re-
cent speech at the State University,
both from the papers and from the peo-
pie who listened to II. We were on the
wing at the time and did not see the pa
pers containing the address. We sup
pose it was not quite so slick and icy as
that of Mr.. Bayard, but the gentleman
from Delaware, we hope, did not mag
inc he was coming out here to "lay over
Kansas" to any great extent. Not that
our senator is not slick when occasion
offers, and ne probably took the right
tack in this address to please the Kansas
boys. Kansas marches right close to
the band wagon on all occasions, and if
little Delaware came out here thinking
she is going to make dark shade for the
Kansas man to walk in, she got foolish
ed. Whatever may be said of Plumb,
he generally "gels there" and no doubt
those who flocked to Lawrence to wor-
ship at the shrine of the Democratic
premier were pleased to have Kansas
show up SD we'll by his side. Kansas

NEW YoRK, June 19.-Day broke aus
uiciously tor the formal welcome Of the
great Bartholdi statue of liberty. The
day was cloudless. and the rays OF the
June sun were tempered by a gentle
southwest wind. Along the lower river
fronts and the Battery wall great crowds
gathered early in the day. AS the morn
ing wore on the multitude increased.
The scene in the harbor was one of
the IiYeliest description. Nearly every
vessel, small and large, showed the tri
color and the stars and stripes. When the
vessels that were to escort the "Isere" TO
BedIoe's leland arrived in the lower bay
the water was swarming with craft. and
as far as the eye could reach there were
vessels without number. Every sort of
vessel had been pressed into service by
ambitious sightseers. Soon vol
umes of smoke were belching
forth from the tunnels of the Isere.
Her propeller began to revOlve and she
was headed in the direction OF Bedloe's
Island. The French man of war LA
Flore," headed the procession. Soon
her gunHers opened salute of honor by
firing twenty-one guns in the short
space of sixty one seconds. Hardly had
the smoke cleared away from her deck
when the United States man of war
"Omaha" replied with a broadside.
Then the Alliance and POwhattan fired
their guns. The guns of Fort Wads-
worth Numbered out a salute as
the naval procession passed. Such a
scene as was then presented had rarely
been seen in the bay. One hundred
steamers and yachts, with flying flags
and streamers and crowded with
people followed the "Isere."
Music of a dozen bands flowed out over
the water, while the war ships Numbered
and the forte re echoed with booming
guns. The guests on the Atlantic
shouted themselves hOarse. The French
officers of the Isere stood on
the quarterback and bowed to
the salutes which they heard on
every side all the way up the harbor
until the head of the procession had ar.
rived off Bedloe's Island. The shores
of New Jersey and Long Island resoun-
ed with the crash of guns. 1t seemed

the anchor of the Isere was lowered and
had obtained q firm grip, there was more
firing ofcannon, and blowing of whistles
and shouting Of people. Bedloe's Island
was crowded with spectators. Men
had climbed up to the top of the pedes

stones. The Atlantic" after parting
