the HarbOr.

Thousands of Eager and Interested Snec-
tators on Boat and Wharf.

New YORK, June 19.-Theday broke
auspiciously for the formal welcome
to Bartholdi's great statue of Glib
erty." The sky 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 morning wore on, the
multitude increased Over thewaters,
which sparkled brightly, all sorts
Of gayly decked craft sped hither
and thither. They swarmed with
human life, and many carried
small bands of music. The tall
buildings in the neighborhood of
Bowling Green, notably the Stock Ex-
change and also several of the dwell
ing-houses, displayed the stars and
stripes. Here and there might also be
seen the national colors of France.
Governors Island looked like a great
emerald gem. The scene in the harbor
was one of the liveliest description.
Nearly every vessel, small and large,
waved the tri-color and the stars and
stripes, and all were dressed up, SO to
speak, for the occasion.
When the vessels that were to escort
the Isere to Bedloe's Island arrived in
the lower bay, the water was swarm
ing with craft, and as far as the eye
could reach there were vessels without
number Every sort of a vessel had
been pressed into service by ambitious
sight seers. Soon volumes 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 LAHORE headed
the procession. Soon her gunners
opened the salute of honor, by firing
twenty-one guns in the short space Of
sixty-one seconds. Hardly had the

in Court.
PITTsBURG, Pa, June l5.-The trial
of VIM. N. Riddle and g. L. Reiber,
late president and cashier of the Penn
Bank, began in the criminal court to-
day. They are being tried for conspir-
acy, the charge of ENLIGHTENMENT, on
which they were arraigned some weeks
ago, having been apparently aban-
doned at present owing to the faulty
way the Indictment was drawn up.
The trial promises to be very sensa-
tional, owing to thenumber OF wealthy
men directly and indirectly implicated.
The defendants. are represented by
eight famous lawyers, among them
Congressman Boyle, of Pennsylvania,
and Judge Curtis, OF New York. The
general impression seems to be the
case will either break down or there
will be no conviction. The morning
session was occupied with empanel-

MONTREAL, June 2O.-A sample of
the bread now being served out to
volunteers in the Northwest was ex-
hlbited by III. Labelle, in the Corn Elk
change, yesterday. It was sent to him
by his son who is with the Sixty-fifth
Battalion, now stationed at Saskatch-
evan. The bread is of a dark brown
color, and was made from -four fur
nished to the government by the Hud-
son Bay Company, and was declared
by experts in the trade to be made
from frozen and spoiled grain. Much
indignation was expressed that the
volunteers should have such stuff
served out to them, especially while
undergoing fatigue. Itwas also stated
by a prominent member that the con-
tract for the supply of food for the In
dams had been given to man who
was buying up all the frozen and rot
ten grain with which to furnish these
supplies.

come out that an official of the Depart
ment of the Interior named Robert Lang,
who was sometime ago sentup to the North
west by the government to adjust
certain land claims, has been issu-
ing bogus land patents to settlers
in the Northwest, and pocketing
the money. An investigation is now going
on, but as yet it is impossible to know the
extent oil which the unfortunate settlers
have been victimized by Lang, who, finding
that he had been detected in his fraudulent
operations, left for the United States It
is believed that Lang was not alone in the
land patent swindle, and that several
prominent individuals will Shortly be shown
TO have been associated with him.

modore's appointment. That shows he
ls not without friends in the world. Bis.
marck has now the United States mar
shal and United States district attorney

by some unfeeling, persons that she
has her share. She still has two reput-
ed candidates for secretary of the terri
tory, vice Hon. J. q. Teller, brother of
Senator Teller. It is suspected that
Teller may not want to liuger north af-
ter his $6 600 house in Yankton is com.

such, are ex- Mayor Dunn and the splen-
did scion of Senator Fustis of Louisiana,
