The Ride to New York.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The pan-Amerlcan
excursion train reached Jersey City at 3:15
o'clock this afternoon. having been delayed
by hot boxes. The run as far as Baltimore
was unmarked by any notable event. One
of the attaches of the congress had been as
signed to each of the cars composing the
train, and these gentlemen used their best
efforts to make the statesmen gathered to-
gether from the confines of the two CONT
nents acquainted with one another. Their
efforts were attended with great success,
and by the time Baltimore was reached,
the delegates were chatting together in
groups, expressing their hopes and antici-
patlons for the trip, and commenting upon
the appearance of the country through
which the train was running. The day was
clear and cool, a tiDge Of frost fingered in
the air from over hight, the naples had be-
gun to turn scarlet. and altogether the
scene, familiar enough to American
effect to the great mass of the dele
gates who come from the tropical and
semi-tropical climates, and are accustomed
to the sight of the spring cactus and dark
evergreen foliage of South American jun
giles. Mr.. Henderson caught the train at
Baltimore, where DIR. Sternberg was also
taken on the special train. This would not
have been possible had not a delay occurred

sleeping-car Russia As the party was
somewhat smaller in number than had been
/ expected, it was possible to cut off one car
and render the train lighter without dis
commoding the excursionists. AT this
point it was also discovered that the new
engine which had been provided to haul
the train over the entire route had heated
a bearing. A short time was spent in an
Intellectual effort to get this in order. when
another engine was substituted and the
train proceeded on its way. The new en-

day
Secretary Proctor occupied a seat in the
/. car Columbus having decided at the last
moment to the party as far
as West Point, where he will view the mil
itary parades. There lave been some
changes in the list of excursionists. The
delegates from the Argentine Republic were
absent. Messrs. Estee and Hanson, Ameri-
can delegates, who had intended to join the
party later on. concluded to embark at
Washington. Delegates Pereira of Brazil,
Navarro and Limantour of Mexico, Guz-
man of Nicaragua and Andrade of Vene-
Zuela, who were set down as of the party,
declined to go at the last moment. 1t APP
pears that many of the delegates to the
congress, presumably unacquainted with
the luxurious surroundings and conven-
fences of the modern American palace car,
were fearful of the fatlgues in store for
them during a tour lasting forty days.

Beginning of the Long Excursion Trip in Hon.
or of Our South American Visitors.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The delegates to
astir at an early hour this morning to pre-
pare for the long trip arranged for them by
the Department of State. The delegates
partook of an early breakfast and then made
their way to the Pennsylvania railroad
station, where, for fully three-quarters of
an hour before the scheduled time for start
ing the train, an unusual stir and activity
was noticeable. The vestibule train was
early an object of admiration by a great
crowd of sight-seers. Before s o'clock the
delegates began to arrive, and were received
at the station by William f. Curtiss. the
special agent of the State Department in
charge of the excursion. There was no
formal leave-taking between the govern
ment officials and the delegates.
Many friends of the delegates &C
companied them to the station, and
for halt an hour before the train
started the scene was an animated one. At
a quarter past 8 the warning All aboard
was given, and promptly on schedule'time
the train started on its long Journey. just
as those who had been bidding farewell to

derson, the president pro tempore of the

after the train had taken its departure.
He was very much surprised when he found
the train had gone, believing, as he said.
that it would not start promptly. He was
evidently very much mortified at having
been left behind. An official of the De-
partment of State, however undertook to
arrange matters for him, and he took the .

In 1887 the sealing schooner Santiago,
owned by L. w. Handy. was seized by the
cutter Rush. and ordered to Sitka. She
went. and nearly six hundred skins were
condemned, brought here by Marshal
Atkins and sold. Handy tried TO enjoin the
sale here on the ground that the Alaskan
court orders did not hold here. but Judge
Sawyer 0verruled this. The same principal
involved in this decision holds in the case
of the two sealers that came here instead of
going to Sitka- 1t is also claimed that it
applies TO all seizures by the Rush this
year, as orders will hold good. no matter
