The Baltimore celebration in COM
memoration of the seventy-fifth ami
versary of the battle of North Point
began on Monday of last week with a
great street parade which was re-
viewed by President Harrison and
thousands of visitors and home folks.
The civic and industrial display was
more interesting than that of the SEES
qui-centenniaI and decided success.
After the parade the Presinent was
entertained at luncheon at the Hotel
Rennert and held public reception
at the City Hall. At Pimlico, where
the exposition buildings are, the scenes
were full of life and animation. The
sham battle representing the fight at
North Point in 1914 took place OH
Thursday at Pimlico and was sue
cess Notwithstanding rain and mud.
The labor parade in the morning, the
postofIice dedication at night, and
then the ball later on were also car
ried out. The sham bombardment of
Fort McHenry by the war vessels
Pensacola, Yantic, Ossipee and Pas
sale, representing the British fleet,
took place Friday night, and was seen
by thousands of persons ashore or
afloat.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland, it
is announced in several Ohio Demo
cratic papers, will visit that State and
make several speeches in advocacy of
tariff reform during the present cam
paign. The Columbus Daily Press,

would draw unusual crowds to hear
him. All the indications are that the
Democratic campaign is to be the
most active and aggressive conducted
in Ohio for many years.

A late dispatch from Philadelphia
says that the Baltimore & Ohio limited
express was drawn from Washington
to Philadelphia to-day by an engine
which used coke for its heating and
steam generating purposes. The
train leaves Washington every morn
ing at 8 O'Clock, making the run
to Philadelphia in three hours
The train left with 145 pounds steam
in the boiler. Toward the end of the
run the steam began to run down,
and in spite of this, the train landed
in Philadelphia three minutes ahead
of time. The officials are highly
pleased with the trial. For a long
time they have been trying to devise
some method to do away with the
SCOT and cinders and think they have
found it now.

A great storm at sea, which had
been throwing up unusually high
waves on the seashore since Sunday,
burst upon the coast early last Tues
day morning, flooding the lower por-
ton of New York city, wrecking the
Coney Island resorts and doing much
damage along the New Jersey shore.
Ocean City, Md, was almost entirely
under water. Railroad and telegraph
communication with Atlantic City,
was cut off, and grave apprehensions
were for a while felt for the safety of
the people of that city. The storm
played havoc with some of the island
resorts about New York and on the
Jersey coast in the vicinity of Philq-
delphia.

IL was the right of Congress to inquire into the
facts So there was abundant constitutional
thorty for the proposed investigation. AS to the
spectre Of State rights sought to be called up,
here was no such question Mr.. Hoar said involved
IN the resolution What was assailed was not
local slf-government. 1t was government gener-
ally which the Senator from Virginia and his asso-
elates were trying TO break down in this country.
That Senator had asked what facts were depended
upon in bringing forward the proposition. Did
not that Senator know that within six weeks
man who was contesting seat in the other house
had been shot down while he was making his con:
test? Did he not know the history of political
offences all over certain States in the South
General Sheridan had declared some years since
that more Republicans had been murdered for
their pclitical opinions in the State of Louisiana
alone. than had fallen in battle on both sides in
the Mexican War.
Mr.. Hoar went on to comment on the smallness
of Congressional votes in the Southern States.
Mr.. Hoar said that, within the lifetime of some
who listened TO him, there would be fifty million
negroes dwelling in the Southern States, and that
II the methods reported were persisted in, tn
white people of the South were sowing seed
from which was to come harvest OF horror
and blood to which the French revolution, or
that Of St. Domingo was light in comparison.
