lowed to Pass Unnoticed.


lowed to Pass UnnOticed.
PARIS, July 4.-The exhibition grounds
were brilliantly Illuminated tonight in
honor of the Fourth of July. This after
noon President Carnot went to Lie dc
Cygnes to inaugurate the Replica of Bar
tholdis statue of liberty enlightening the
world. An immense crowd witnessed the
ceremony. A platform was decorated with
various emblems and devices in French and
American flags. The president took his
place at the center of the platform, while
the invited guests were grouped below the
platform, which was close TO the statue.
NJ. Spuller, minister of foreign aft airs, de-
livered an address. He recited the CEN
tenary of 1776 and the Philadelphia
exhibition. He referred to the old, cordial
frieu dship binding together France and the
United States for century, aud said that
the inauguration of the statue had both
political and social significance as a further
bond between the two countries.
American society owed all to the
labor of peace under the reign of liberty, to
liberty under the law, and equality by law.
Such were the first terms of the republican
policy. The great republics were united in
the past by services rendered; united at
present by common principle, and united
for the future by the benefits which liberty
would procure for humanity. "Vive la
republique."
The speech was received with loud cheers,
the crowd following the speaker with shouts
of "Vive la France and "Vive PAmerique. "
After remarks by the president of the
municipal council, Whltelaw Reid, United
States minister, addressed the assemblage.
He referred to the generous reception ac-
corded to the gift. The tri-colored flags of
the two nations, he said, spoke a language
understood throughout the world.
Gen. Franklin, the American commits
sioner, sent all the American marines to
the exposition to-day, each carrying a
bouquet.

Him Into Resigning.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-Hadji Hassein
Ghooly Khan, the Persian minister to the
United States, will shortly leave this coun-
try for Europe. In an interview to-day he
told a reporter of the Post that he would
not come back, and that he had been driven
out of the country by unkind and ungener-
Gus things which have been written about
him and his sovereign in American news
papers. He has large volume of newspa-
per clippings which have offended him.
He has resigned his official position
and now speaks his mind as private citi-
zen, which he could not do as long as he
was minister. He says his action is an ex-
preston of his personal feeling, and does not
mean a suspension of official relations be-
tween Persia and the United State. Off
clally the two governments are friendly,
and another minister will probably be sent

MRS. PICKETT NOT TO WED.
Denial of the Story Linking Her Name
with That of Gen. LYNCH

WIFI Ihat OF Gen. Lynch.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-The published
statement that Mrs. George E. Pickett,
widow Of the general, will be married to
Gen. James c. Lynch, of Philadelphia, Pa,
next fall, was without authority or CON
sultation with the interested parties, and
both persons named authorize a statement
that it is utterly untrue and without
foundation. Gen. Lynch says that he never
made any such statement to any friend of
his, nor did he state anything to any friend
of his which might be so construed.
Mrs. Pickett's well-known devotion to the
memory of her husband, and her refusal to
entertain offers of marriage precudes the
probability of there being any truth
in the report connected with Gen. Lynch.

A DIFFERENCE oF OPINION.

A considerable proportion of them are
also of the opinion that the Mellow verdict
is an outrage upon law and justice, and
that the jury was packed expressly for the
purpose of acquitting him. A good many
of the aldermen of Charleston are of this
opinion, and it is extremely probable that
the services Of a new clerk will he needed
shortly. There is considerable talk here of
getting up a public meeting for the pur-
pose of denouncing the verdict, and it is
known that several prominent protestant
clergymen have already expressed their de
sire to take part in, and speak at the meet
ing if it should be held. In the meantime,
Mellow has evidently forgotten his "little
indiscretion." He goes out on the streets
and occasionally receives the bows and
