Seattle as center Of attraction for multi
tndes who will yet seek investments and
homes here Besides al these evidences of
future possibilities for this city. We must
consider the advantages OF Tar more i'm
portant nature than any yet mentioned.
The investments that have already been
made. and of Others that will soon be
made, in manufacturing industries clearly
point 10 stable growth. such as Seattle has
never before known. The enlargement of
banking capital. the prospect of new rail-
road connections and A concession OF the
same passenger and freight facilities that
Tacoma has hitherto enjoyed, unite to
prove that the day of discrimination against
this Queen City OF Puget sound. in any
department of business activity, is ct an
end and will not again check its progress.
All these and many other considerations
clearly show that, as Chicago has risen
from the ashes of her great confagration
in 1871, Seattle is already rising from those
OF her destructive fire of isS9. As / now
recall the scenes of ISL, on my first visit to
Chicago, and those of 1871, when | made a
brief visit to Seattle, the conviction forces
itself upon my mind that the young man
now lives in the midst of stirring events on
this spot, who will in future see a great
rival of San Francisco occupying the region
between Elliot bay and Lake Washington,

Societies And Trades.
NEW YORK, May 1.-Gen. Butterfeld with
his staff of 100 men, took up their position on
Fifth-ave. and Fifty ffthst. at $3.50, but at that
hour none of the organizations had put in an
appearance. By o'clock the organizations
began marching and counter-marching in the
the side streets getting into position.
The parade finally started shortly after 10
o'clock, with Mayor Grant aud representative
delegates from the civic industrial and COM
mercial societies and organizations in advance
When the reviewing stand was reached the
mayor presented an address TO the president.
This body then took the places which had
been reserved for them either side of the
president and after him received the honOrs of
the parade. Next came Gen. Butterfield, the
chief marshal, followed by his staff. The first
tableau, 1.-THE Declaration of Independence, :"
was intended to represent the reading of the
declaration of indie pendence by John Nixon,
in the state-house yard, Philadelphia, July s,
1776. This float was surrounded by an escort
of 100 members of the society of veterans of
the regular army and navy.

The Literary Exercises OF the Day-whit-
tiers Centennial Poem.


NEW YORK, April 3O-The sub-treasury
steps, the scene OF the literary exercises, was
the Mecca of thousands from an early hour.
At o'clock it was almost impossible to pass
through the streets for quarter of a mile
around, while in the immediate Geighborhood
OF the sub-treasury the sightseers were packed
like the traditional sheep. The stand itself was
one mass Of bright color and prior to the arri-
val OF the presidential party the various bands
stationed in the neighborhoOd evolved stirring
strains for the edifcation of the waiting thou
sands. On the stand proper the people fortu-
nate TO possess the necessary tickets OF admis-
sion were packed almost sOlidly as they were
in the street below Gov. Beaver Of Pennsyl-
vania was one OF the late arrivals and as his
troop was stationed in the block between New
a. and Broadway, the redOubtable warrior had
considerable difficulty in reaching his horse.
There was a great crush around the SUBJ
treasury steps before the arrival OF the presi-
Dental party. As soon as the presidential
party reached the platform a shout of applause
rose from the assembled crowd. Archbishop
CorrigaD, wearing his scarlet robes, was on the
platform when the party arrived. He was in
troduced to the president and yice-president,
Gov Hill, Mayor Grant DIR. StOrrs and others.
Hamilton Fish opened the exercises by in
Producing Elbridge i. Gerry as chairman. Mr..
Gerry then introduced the Rev. Richard F.
Storrs, who delivered the invocation in a very
clear voice. Clarence w. Bowen, secretary Of
the centennial committee, was next introduced.

THE BANQUET.
Second Chief Event OF the Great Centen.

Second Chief Event OF the Great Centen-
NAL Mt Metropolitan Opera-House.
NEW YORK, April S0-The Metropolitan
opera-house was tonight the scene of the sec
ond chief event of the great centennial celebra-
ton and the theater of the greatest banquet,
possibly, ever held within the recollection of
man. The interior decorations of the nOw-his-
torical building excelied even the splendor and
display Of the previous night The stage and
auditorium, connected in one continuous floor,
was the foundation of over a quarter of hum
dred tables. arranged in double horseshoe
fashion, with a seating capacity for 800 Nearly
eight thousand wine-glasses glittered at inter-
walls along the array of tables and 200 walters
as well drilled as many soldiers, stood ready
TO respond TO the slightest wink of the diners.
The tables were deliberately decorated. The
chief steward, stationed al the presidents
chair, controlled an electrical wire in commun-
icatiOn with the chief cook, and at a given sig
nal the huge congregation OF diners started
simultaneously with dinner. Each course, as
to time OF service, was regulated by electricity,
thus avoiding the custom prevalent at public
dinners OF serving portion OF the diners with
light wines while the balance drink champagne.
The expense OF the dinner is SAID to have been
$4,000, the wine alone causing an expenditure
OF nearly $4,000. The bill of fare in print was
eight inches long aud of French construction
being wound up with twelve varieties of wine,
three cordials, and cigarettes, Special FavOrs. Z"
Over the presidents seat, surrounded by flow
ing American flags, was suspended huge pic
ture of the face and bust OF Washington. At
Mayor Grants right hand sat the president,
and Gov. Hill on the mayors left. Next
to the president sat Nice-PresdenJ Morton.
The others we're Chief Justice Fuller, Gen.
Schofeld, Senator Evarts, ex-President Hayes,

Lieut.Gov. Jones, Judge Charles Andrews,

Couldn't squeeze His Girl.

NEW YORK, April 2e.-There was considera-
bic delay in starting the procession from the
foot OF Wall-st. to-day, which was explained
when ex-President Hayes and Chauncy N. De-
pew appeared and took seats in the carriage re-
served for them. After reaching the Equitable
building Mr. Depew told the story of the fall
ure Of himself and Mr.. Hayes TO reach the dock
on time, in his own inimitable way. said he:
"Mr. HAYES and were landed at an adjoining
slip from the boat whence we had viewed the
naval parade. One member of the committee
with us, but no policemen had been pro-
vided to secure our passage and We could make
no Roadway. We were confronted by solid
wall Of brawny long-shoremen and all our
pushing and elbOwing was in vain. Finally
appealed to one great, big fellow upon whose
arm hung his best girl. and whom Mr.. Hays
had been vainly endeavoring TO bulge. Ny good
man. said |, won't you let US pass? This Is Mr..
Hayes, an ex-president of the United States,
and we must get places in the procession be-
fore it start and you be able to see what
brought you here But it was useless. With
a grunt and a shove, the fellow respond ed: L
don't guve dom if hes the president OF
Heaven, he shant squeeze my girl F"

which was very surprising 10 many Of the spec
tatOrs. The Italian military association turned
out thirteen companies Of thirty-six men each,
the civic societies as many more, while their
two floats were as well received as any in the
entire parade. One OF them a large boat
on which were represented Columbus and
Washington, discoverer and father. The sec
ond float represented Italy and America sitting
among the flowers The Scandinavian-Ameri-
can societies also made q good showing. In
deed, what are usually termed the foreign ele-
ments earned the right TO the largest share OF
the credit for the success OF the parade.
The parade was practically over when the
president left, at $40 o'clock, and only few
advertisement floats came afterward. The pro
cession was disbanded at Canal-st. soon after :
O'Clock. Meanwhile President Harrison was
driven to Mr.. Morton's home. and, after light
lunch, he was driven 10 the New jersey shore,
where he started for Washington at o'clock.

o'clock the train pulled out of the Pennsylvania

then TO continue on without another stop until
Washington was reached. As the train started
the ropes which had kept the crowd back fer
half an hour, were taken down, and in an IN
slant the spot. occupied but moment before
by the train, was black with humanity. who
cheered waved handkerchiefs, flags. hats, and
everything else that came handy. In response
to the noisy. but cordial sdieu, President Har-
