NEW YORK, Oct 28.-The rain, which
foil almost continuously for thirty six
hours, did not cease until about daylight
this morning. The sky did not clear
however, aud the thousands of anxious
sightseers who began to pour into the
streets at an early hour met damp, fog
gy atmosphere, which threatened a re-
neWal of rain at any moment.
The storm greatly interfered with
the work on Bedloe's Island yesterday,
but as little was left TO do, il
did not matter very much whether it
Tained or not. The workmen tore down
the old, narrow steps that led up the EN-.
bankment and replaced them with a
wider and more substantial stairway.
They also laid a broad wooden walk lead

ROuQeSS.
Between and 9 O'Clock all thorough
fares showed signs of unusual activity.
All trains were crowded to their utmoSt
capacity with people hurTying to advanta-
geous points 10 view the grand procession.
In the vicinity of Fifth avenue and
Fifty seventh street, the point at which
the procession was TO form, all was hustle
and commotion as early as eight O'Clock.
Civic and military companies arrived
faster than they could be assigned to their
proper places.
At few minutes past ten O'Clock the
head OF the column began TO move down
Fifth avenue, led by the Fifth United
States Artillery and Military Band. Then
followed the United States Naval brigade,
United states Army brigade, Second reg
iment New Jersey National Guard and q
detachment of Massachusetts, volunteer
militia. These composed the first dlvi-
sion.
The second division was led by Gill
more's famous band. Then followed the
First Brigade, n. G. S. N. Y, acting as
escort to the French column. The
French column contained the SOciete
Colmarienne; Union Alsacienne; SoCiete
AIsace-LOIaine; Mardi Gras Association !;
Societe De PhilanthrOpic; Union ChOrale
De Newarks; Union Franchise, of Eliza
be-, lie Prevyame, of Boston; l.
Anutie, of New York; lie Societe Cul-
inaire COsmopolite; l. Helvetienhe; l.
Alliance and T. Union Fraternelle.
Then came another fine band of music,
which was followed by nearly dozen
more French societies. Behind the
Frenchmen came the United States
Judges and other high officials of the
United States in carriages, and Governors
of States and Territories and other high
digmtaries, also In carriages, who brought
up the rear OF the second division.
The third division was headed by
Sheriff Grant as marshal. and was COM
prised of mayors of cities; a battalion
of Philadelphia police; Brooklyn police /;
veterans of the war of 1912; veterans of
the Mexican war, and the military order
of the Loyal Legion.
The fourth, fifth and sixth divisions
we're composed of military organizations.
Then came the educational division; then
more military Washington's carriage,
drawn by nine horses, escorted by the
Continental Guard of Washington, and
the old Washington Continental Guard,
mounted. Firemen, Knights of Pythias
aud other organizations all helped to
make up the other four divisions.
As this brilliant column passed down
Fifth avenue it was received by the enOr-
nous crowds, which fiaDked it on either
side with mighty cheers
AS the procession approached tho re-
viewing stand at Madison Square, where
President Cleveland and members cf his
Cab net were in waiting, a slight dfizzle
of rain began falling, not enough, how
ever, to disturb the crowd or spoil the
spectacle.
After passing through Madison Square
the column moved on down Fifth Avenue

OF the intended statue. Another plaster
statue four times as large as the first, and
a third one, of the full dimensions of the
finished work were made. The last
model had to be made in sections, and a
wooden frame work was constructed on
which the plaster was spread. When
these sections were completed, wooden
models were used, exact copies Of the
plaster in size and modelling. These
were carefully cut out by hand, and in
them were shaped the hammered brass
work which forms the outside of the
statue. Eighty-eight tons Of brass were
used in the structure, and the entire
weight of the statue is 100000 pounds.
In 1876 NJ. BarthoIdi, with the extended
right arm of the statue-the first part
that was completed-came to America
and placed the arm and torch in
the Centennial Exhibition at Phlia-
delphia, whence 1t was subsequently
removed 10 Madison Square, New
York. In February, 1877, Congress set
apart Liberty Island for the statue,
and a committee was chosen with
william NJ Evarts at its head. The

THE STATUE.

The famous statue, by BarthOldi, of
"Liberty Enlightening the World" was
received at New York, June 20, 1885.
The French vessel Isere, with the statue
on board, was escorted up the bay to
Bedloe's Island by a number of United
States men-of-war and other vessels. The
statue stands on BedlOe's Island-heTe-
after to be known as Liberty Island. At
the entrance to New York harbor,
Bartholdi, it is said, conceived the idea
OF rearing a colossal statue to symbolic

gested TO his friends his idea of such
statue to be presented by the
French nation to the United States.
The idea was received with great favor,
and so rapidly did subscriptions come

upon his great statue. M. BarthOldi

The Wood and Gaskel Cases.

WAsHINeToN, September 9.-The
cases of Wood and Gsskell, arrested
by the Mexicans in Lower California,
have been before the State Depart
ment for some time, and nothing, it is
asserted, hss been left undone by the
American Corsll at Lapez, acting un-
der instructions of the Secretary OF
State, 10 sse that the prisoners re-
ceive theprotection they are entit'edto.
They are accused by the Mexican au-
thorities of having murdered fellow
American. The Mexicans claim that
the body of the murdered man was
found and that all the evidence at
hand pointed to Wood and Gaskell as
the guilty parties II there has been
unre isonable delay and iIregulaiity OF
the procedure, as seems TO be claimed
in the prisoners appeal to the Gov
ernor of Texas, the fact has not yet
been made known TO the department.
