RAIN DAMPENS THE DISPLAY,

NEW YORK, October.-The rain storm
which prevailed all day yesterday ceased
last night, but the weather this morning
seemed very unpromising for the festivities
which were TO take place in connection
with the Inauguration of the Bartholdi
Statue of Liberty. A slight fog hung over
the city and obScured in q measure the
elaborate decorations of buildings with
which the city had been beautifed.
French and American flags were flying
from house tops and windows in every
direction, and a general holiday appear
ance was presented by moving bodies
of soldiers, militia, civic organ
izat;ons, sod by the collection on the side
walks of great crowds of people. Business
during the day was almost entirely sus-
pended, the public schools closed. and all
New York joined in the celebration. Visit
oTs from all sections Of the country have
been coming into the city for two days
past, and this morning thousands more
were added to the great throng, the pros
pect of unpleasant weather in no way de-
terring them. Available places along the
route of the procession were secured at an
early hour, and the thorougfares were
maSsed with spectators.
The storm greatly interfered with the
work on Bedloe's Island yesterday, but
as little was left to do it did not matter
very much whether it rained or not. The
wCrkmeu tore down the old narrow step:
that led up the embankment and replaced
them witha wider and more substantial
stairway. They also laid broad wooden
walk leading to the ground entrance in the
front of the Fort. The platform that has
stood in one of the northwestern angles OF
the enclosure was also removed and the
platform for the speakers made ready for
their reception.
AMILLION PEOPLE.
It's estimated that fully a million peo-
pie took part in the festivities, and the
wet pavements, the mud, the chilly atmos-
phere and general discomfort were no ap-
preciable bar to public enthusiasm.
The vicinity of Fifth avenue and Fifty
seventh street, the point at which the pro-
ceSsion was to form, was hustle and COM
motion as early as eight o'clock. Civic
and military companies arrived faster than
they could be assigned to their proper
places, and for while there was no little
confusion.

NAV feel assured will il ever confront its
Counterpart or parallel. How can we fifty
frame in words the sentiment, the motives,
the emotions which have filled and moved
the hearts and minds OF two great nations
in the birth OF this noble conception, the
grand embodiment the complete execution
OF this stupendous monument, now un-
veilcd to the admiring gaze Of men, and
emblazoned, in its coronation Of its nm
ished work, with the plaudits Of the
world? What ornament Of speech, what
eloquence of human voice, what costly
gifts of gold. frankincense and myrrh of
our hearts tribute can we bring TO the
celebration Of this triumph Of genius, Of
skill, of labor, which speaks to-day, and
will speak forever, the thoughts, the feel
ings, the friendships Of these two popu-
lous, powerful aud free republics, knit to-
gether in their pride and joy at their own
established freedom, and in their hope and
purpose that the glad light Of Liberty shall
enlighten the world?
For this arduous theme the American
committee has had the good fortune TO
present an eminent citizen and accom-
plished orator, from grateful and pleasant
attention to whose eloquence the simple Of
fee the committee has asked me 70 dis
charge will not long detain this eTpectaut
multitude. In the conflict which agitated
and divided the people Of the United
States and aroused the loyalty and patriot
ism OF the country, TO the maintenance OF
constituted liberties, the liberty loving
people Of France felt an intense and solici-
tous interest. When the issue Of this
struggle upheld and confirmed the Govern
nent, maintained its unhroken unity, and
made all the people equal and free, the
liberty-loving people Of France hailed
the triumph with an immense and vivid
enthusiasm. Nor was this enthusiasm
to be satisfied but by some adequate
and permanent expression Of their sympa-
thy in our fiery trial, and congratulations
at the absolute supremacy Of the pr1nci-
pies and institutions which hadputin peril
and had come out from it. without the
smell Of fire upon their garments
To this energetic movement of the
French people there was added their his
toric and momentou. friendship in secur-
ing our independence, and the reciprocal
influences which had sEapsd and confirm
ed the trse AID equal institutions ofthe two
countries, and 70 the working of all these
motives and sentiments Of an ardent and
generous people, we owe-,be world owes
this visible and perpetual embodiment Of
the love OF Liberty animating the two
nations, which stands before Us to-day.
To this realization the people Of France
brought the fiTTos and inspiration Of

The threatened pleuro pneumonia

An important conference Of cattlemens rep

toward protecting range cattle from the

As the meeting was . secret one with closed

xr. Manning to Remain in the oab,nss

Mr.. Naming to Remain in the CAblnet
WASHINGTON, u. c., October 1.-At
tho Treasury Department there seems TO bs NO
Importance sttached to the report that the
Pr esident has offered the seeretaryship Of the
Treasury to Senator HcPheEsou. It may Be
stated with certainty that Secretary Manning
u going back to the Treasury. He has decided
to remain at the head Of the Department 20
long - his health will permit him to do 20,
even to the end Of Mr.. Ceveland's term.
When the members Of President Cleveland's
Cabinet accepted their appointments It was
With the understanding that they ''enlisted for
the war;" and that they would remain in the
Cabinet until the end of the term. A Demo-
cratic administration was an experiment, and
many serious obstacles had to be overcome,
and stability was necessary. It was important
that there should be no breaking up Of the
Cabinet They had to work together, come
what might, to carry into effect Democratic
me easures and make the administration sue
cess.
OF course such q calamity as the illness Of
Mr.. Manning was not taken into considers
tion, and when he was in such critical condi-
ton that It WAS uncertain whether or mot he
would ever recover, and he was obliged to
leave the department. 1t seemed As II his re-
tirement could not be avoided and con-
Sc quently his resignation wss sent in. Now
he has apparently recovered his health and he
is willing and desires to ''stand by the ship
and see the administration through, II his ply
steal condition will admit Of 1t, and he would
put himself to great personal Inconvenience
to do this.
His absence would be serious loss to the
Cabinet, and Mr.. Cleveland would feel 1t
keenly. OF course, as friend Mr.. Cleveland
would not urge upon him too strongly to re-
main II It involved an injury to his health. but
he will do all he can to retain his services with
out taxing his strength. It may be said with
certainty that Mr.. Manning will make the
trial.
Those who are in position to be best IN
formed do mot think that Senator Mcpherson
will be Secretary Of the Treasury should Mr..
Man ming find by experience that his retire
ment from active life is necessary to hia
health.
