The start was made about IL O'Clock. the Pcekskll
rornet Band, from the scene Of Mr.. Depews bOyhood
filing the air with joyful sounds, Quarantine was
there OF the City of New-York, and the Sloan crossed
10 Bath Beach where the party had good time
spending the afternoon in a lively manner. 1t wa
not until nearly 80 o'clock that the City of NeW-
York was dsccrnod in the FOG and Immediately inc
Sloan was headed for Quarantine. When the New
York came near, and Mr.. Depew was discovered amid
ships on me port SIDE his friends on the Sloan gave
vent IN the enthusiasm which had been confined and
dampened by the long wait in the rain. The band
played "Home Again" and Hail to the Chlef'
The crowd checred and waved hats ana
handkerchiefs. Tho passengers on Inc new forh
crowded to the rails and acted as If they were glad
10 be near the end of their voyage. while Mr. Depew

little wait for the Quarantine officers 10 board the
bic steamer the Sloan went alongside and Mr.. De
pew and his party, consisting OF Mrs. Depsw' Mrs
william Hegoman the Misses Hegeman and Chauncey
NJ Depew Jr., taken on board. Mr. Depew

They Mad been somewhat tossed about during the
severe storm of tie last few days, but had not been
PUT TO any great discomfort. After the greetings

After the luncheon was finished Mr.. Van Arsdale
made a short speech welcoming Mr.. Depew back and
assuring him OF the constant friendship and deVouoh
of his associates In response 10 the toast proposed
his health, Mir. Depew said In part;
We Of New-Yok who OF Dutch descent believe that
as things before they shall be done again
il has been the custom q the New York Central TO wei
come It's president whenever ne has been abroad for
now something quarter Of Il century. The infoIna
ton which he gigs his return must be little different
from that Of previous year But the same Ola story
won't ocain Since have been on the other she
he only information which have received consists Of
startling statements that l have QuaueIed with the ad-
rnnistraaon OF the NewYOrk Central, quarreied with
the President the Used States Quarreiied with almost
everybody and anybody and have returned with my scalp
encased IN a stec, cap and the scalp knife In boot

world that / button about and come back Ioyll.
II better than did before. And the thing that
most for beyond Office politics. OF anything else
association which has stood by me as have stood
by It for twenty-five years
What we interested in arc the new things that you
do not get on this side aud that dd reveal to the
eptqrp,slng reporter that might cable in ad
vance bur reserved the boys OF the NewYok Cen
tra met M Gladstone in London, and had the peas
ure Of passing six in his company. There two
things OF interest significance which he said he ad
mired Amerios, people, her institutions her growth,
oet development all that she represented but there
wac thing in America which would not be adopted in
England and that that with every
incoming Administration there should be
eorsplete change OF onico-hoders In every
department Of the Government and that the time aud at
tenton OF executive officers Of the government should
kept public business for the first to attend
ton OF the Administration. The other remark
Of Grand Ola Man was that il he had to
select the best Nifty from the beginning Of the
world up to the present time and 10 the end Of time he
would choose half century in which he has lived In
had occurred the emancipation Of the slaves the enamel

patton Of the voter from restrictions upon suffrage it has
been Fifty years OF emancipation, and the only half |
century Of which that can be said.

Mr. Depcw spoke of the visit TO Europe Of the

everywhere received warmly and with distinction; and

eepiion would have been possible in no country in
Europe before the signing Of the Declaration of indie,
