THE SQUADRON ABROAD.
Yankee Blue Jackets Drill and Maneuve
on French Soil.

Gen. de Novion, the military governor,
having gwen leave to land the men Of the
white squadron on the government grounds on
the eastern side Of the bay at Errat the drills
SO much desired by Admiral Walker were begun
yesterday. In granting the privilege Gen. de
Novion specially emphasized the fact that he
would not grant the same to the squadron OF
any European power, althougkhs extended the
courtesy to the United States.
Accordingly at an early hour the bay was
alive with boats from the squadron. The Chi
cago sent $50 men, the Boston $50, the Atlanta
$50 and the Yorktown 80. Admiral Walker and
Capt Robson, chief Of staff, inspected the
drills, which consisted Of company practice, and
were only preliminary to the brigade drills,
which will take place later. The companies
were spread over the government reservation
grounds and the roads adjoining. These drills
and more general maneuvers will continue I'M
til the squadron leaves. 1t may be noted that
this is the first opportunity the squadron has
had for land practice. Originally Point Negro
was suggested for similar drills, but was con-
sidered to be dangerous ground. Then Port
Mahon was sought, but the Spanish govern
ment. after holding council, refused leave to
land lest it might form q precedent for other
fleets.

moved to the city hospital, where the attend

PLAT SUCCUMBs.
He Sends . Flag Of Truce to the
Cooper Union Meeting.

The big hall Of the Cooper union va illsd
with New Workers last night a II humanity had
been . moulten stream poured into Q big
square mold. Five thousand men had an over
dow meeting out side. Resolutions and An
appeal to the legislature were adopted Among
them was this pledge: There are more rspub-
icans than democrats on the list of commits
sionera 1t contains scarcely dozen men hsv-
ing any relation whatever 10 Tsmmany Hail.
Cnstiuted applause greeted the distinguished
orators who addressed the meeting in favor OF
New York. Among these were John H. Starn
the permanent chairman; ex-senator Miller,
John C,aflin and Chaunoey N. Depew. The
speakers bitterly denounced Plat and the nom
action Of the Albany legislature on the worlds
fair bill that was framed BY the worlds fair
committee.
As Mr.. Gompers of the federation of labor
was speaking = diversion was caused on the
crowded platform by the sudden and somewhat
excited entrance of Mr.. John r. Plummer
After hurried consultation with Mr.. Depev
and Chairman Starin the latter asked Mr..
the stage announced TO the audience that Mr..
Plummer would address them. He announced
briefly that ex-senator Plat had called him to
the Fifth Avenue hotel and said: Il want you
to 20 down to the meeting at Cooper union and
say that If that body will ratify Mr.. Depew's
There was a ripple Of applause as Mr.. Plum
mer retired, but it was evident that the audi
ence hadn't quite caught on to the real import
OF his remarks. Before, however, they had
had time to think Mr.. Depew was on his feet
and motioning for silence.
Nov all our differences are settled" cried
Mr.. Depew, 80 let's cheer the converts to the
fair IN New York and the fact that all obstruc-
tions are removed"
CHEERS EVEN FOR PLArT.
There was some spasmodic yelling at this,
but Mr.. Depew was not through yet Again he
motioned for silence.
"And now" said he in q stentorian voice. ~
want you to drop everything else and join with
me in three cheers for Thomas G. Plat"
The cheers were given, but ii was evident
that nobody but Mr.. Depew could have brought
them out. Notwithstanding the magnetism Of
the orator, however, there were lot of grosns
and Kisses, but the Depew resolutions we're
building.

Armour Says Let Them Ship.

1zCC
Mr.. P. D.Armour was asked yesterday in Chi
cago concerning dispatch saying that Winnipeg
fresh beef dealers were shipping heavily to east
ern Canadian points and expected to supplant
the Chicago dealers.
"Let them ship all they will" said Mr.. Ar
mour. II do not think it will injure our bust
ness in the least. The Manitoba beef Is moi
the kind the people Of Canada want. It is all
range fed, while ours is corn fed. 1t ia hardly
probable that the Canadians will change their
opinion as to the relative merits of corn and
range fed cattle"
what per cent Of your business Is done in
that section?"
"a very small per cent. Still we ship con-
siderable beef up there, and the volume is
steadily increasing; but don't think it will be
decreased to any extent by these shipments OF
Manitoba beef"

tinted as to who had joined in the demonstra-
ton against him. The result was that the ar
rest Of fifty well-known citizens has been
