ly trust that the staunch old friend

braced in the above position, pos
sessiug, in fact, every qualification

would give universal satisfaction
throughout our Red River valley
where Capt. Sinnott is extremely

is one appointment upon which on

Friday Night in, New York.

The city was filled with restless, moving
crowd that made its presence felt among
the million and a hall inhabitants Sapd
thronged every street and avenue with o
mob Of people that has not been equaled
in size within the memory OF the present
generation. Indeed there DIRE many who
express the belief thnt it outnumbered any
gathering Of people in the history 81 the
country. Every hour added thousands to the
throng already here, and before the'solemn
march to the dead hero's last resting place
shall have begun, there will be almost twice
as many strangers in the city as there are at
present. The railroads and steambo at
routes to the city are taxed to the utter
most. E1trn trains and boats have been
running on oil lines throughout the day, but
even. with those additions their carrying
capacity has been insufficient to accommo-
date the crowd. Estimates of the number
OF visitors in New York vary widely, and
range from hall a million to million! y As
many more are expected here on the early
morning trains. ,8$
