Cleveland and Boies Write Letters
Speech by Bryan, of Nebraska.
New YORK, July 4.-The anniversary of
American independence was celebrated by
the Tammany society in Tammany wig
wan this morning. The great hall was
crowded with people. The private boxes
were occupied by ladies. Among the
prominent statesmen present to deliver
addresses were w. J. Bryan of Nebraska,
and Owen X irk, of Illinois. The interior
was beautifully decorated with flags and
coats of arms of different states and floral
designs Grand Sachem Thomas Gilroy
delivered the address of welcome, and the
Declaration of Independence was read.
The secretary then read letters from
prominent Democrats. Grover Cleveland
wrote:
No man, woman or child could forget or ont
grow the sentiment relating TO the observance
OF the Fourth OF July. Because of the in
huencies and tendencies abroad which tend to
neglect this anniversary, the valuable and pat
riotic effort of Tammany to rescue il from in
difference ought TO be universally applauded
am satisfied that Tammany will not lose the op-
portunity to teach that the Declaration of indie
peudence was move on the part OF the people
TO determine to govern themselves: that pat
riotisrn it inspires Joins with unseifish love
for our country'S welfare; that political organi-
cation is only effective and successful when ap-
proved and trusted by eli intelligent and popu-
lar government.
Governor Boies of Iowa, wrote:
Occupying. as Tammany does, a position az
he most powerful organization of its kind in
this country and upholding the Tremendous in
tiuence that always comes from the union of a
vast number OF men intent upon the same OBJ
jeet. il Is indeed appropriate that on each ami
versary OF the nations birthday your society
should renew the allegiance that has become a
pride TO every citizen OF the republic.
Senator David b. Hill wrote defining the
power and purpose of the Democratic
party, reviewed the recent political his
tory of New York, and closed thus:
The Democracy OF New York. in the coming
struggle, should present solid front to the
common enemy. Loyalty 20 the cardinal Demo-
cratic principles and the regularly nominated
candidates is the supreme duty OF the hour.
Letters were a so read from Governor
Pat,ison, of Pennsy lvania; Governor
Buchanan, of Tennessee; Hon. John G.
Carlisle, of Kentucky, and others. Ow-
ing to the illness of the son of w. l.. Will
son, of West Virginia. Hon. W. J. Bryan.
OF Nebraska, was selected for the first talk.
Before he had chance 10 say a word the
crowd broke loose and gave cheer after

strangers to the crowd, won lots of APP
pause. Each of these companies had a
sufhcient number of men in line to intro
ouce the platoon drill. which was not done
Dy the First regiment companies. Com
pany Us work was remarkably good in
nearly every respect and its firing and
Ioading was much above the average.
Inc percentages given by the judges were:
Company G, 80; Company A,.S6.
Following the military drill at the ball
park came the competitive Knights of
Pythias drill on Pioneer place. There
were but two entries, Seattle Division, No.

former won after hard fight The same
judges officiated as at the militia drill, and
the contest could not begin until they had
returned to the city. 1t was then nearly 5
O'Clock
A large triangular place was roped in
for the drilling. and outside of this the
square was thronged while the doors and
windows of all the neighboring buildings
were black with people. Both are Seattle
divisions, and the sentiment of the crowd
was well divided and there was plenty
Of encouragement for each. Each di-
vision was on the field for twenty
five minutes. In addition to the
regular infantry drill number
of fancy figures, such as forming crosses
and stars, were gone through with in ex-
cellent style. Before leaving the grounds
the judges announced Seattle division as a
winner. 1t was differed by Captain Joseph
Green, First Lieutenant J. T. Mitchell and
Second Lieutenant d. Ettenson. The Off

THE COMPETITIVE DRILLS.
Close Contests Among the Militia
Knights of Pythias Contest.


The competitive military drill in the
afternoon drew thousands of spectators
to the Madison street ball park to see
Company f, of Seattle, win the honors in
the First regiment and Company G in the
Second regiment. For every company
there was a delegation to cheer its eff
forts, and there was no lack of in
centive to good work. The cable
cars TO the park were packed with
passengers, beginning Immediately after
the parade was ended and lasting most of
the afternoon. This state of affairs was
great hindrance to the militia, and it was
not until O'Clock that they were on the
ground ready for drilling. When, how
ever, they did start. there was no delay
and the programme was carried through
with great dispatch.
The drilling rs rule was a remarkably
good exhibition, and in many respects
would reflect great credit on the crack
infantry companies of the country. There
was plenty Of life aud great deal of care
pat into the work. and, of necessity, there
were excellent results. The drill of all
the companies on the whole ranked high,
and most of the marking-down in per-
centaces was on unfortunate slips, many
or unavoidable accident. The first
1--WE minutes of each company's time was
given up to an optional dull. Then there
were field movements. according to a fixed
programme. in forming squads and pla-

when it curved toward the bay. 1t was
a segment of a circle and every part
of the town was for time within easy
rifle range from this line. But the readi-
ness and energy of the charge of the
mariners and volunteers soon drove the
Indians further back to the brow of the
hill, where they were comparatively safe
from the flying bullets. The Decatur's guns
threw charge after charge into the woods,
and huge logs and trees were torn up by
the exploding shells. The Indian war
riors held their ground, firing from behind
stumps and trees. which were very thick
all around the stockade.
About noon the Indians ceased firing
and the women and children in the block
houses were removed to the Decatur The
Indians, perceiving this, commenced fir
ing again and then made charge against
fourteen men commanded by Lieutenent
Phelps, stationed at the opening in the
stockade leading to the Lake Was hington
trail.
The Indians, firing rapidly, rushed at
the little squad. but not man fiinched.
The savages came nearer, until they were
not thirty feet away. and still not man
budged. Had the Indians rushed to q
hand-to-hand fight they could have over
whelmed the tiny company, but at the
very muzzles of the guns of the Decatur's
marines the hostiles wheeled and fed back
into the woods.
The firing on both sides continued all
day and up to 10 o'clock at night. The In
dams then burned or pillaged all the
houses they could reach and left.
Only two white men were killed in the
encounter. One Milton ]. Holgate, an
uncle of Mr. Hanford, was shot and in
stantly killed while standing IN the door
of the Cherry street block house. early in
the action, and the other was Robert Will
son, who was shot while standing on the
porch of hotel which stood where the
Standard theater now is. Both of them
were picked off by Indian sharpshooters.
Many other settlers had narrow escapes
from being hit by bullets.
The number of Indians killed could never
be ascertained The besiegers left the next
day. Chief Leschi threatened to come back
and destroy the town, but he never did so,

some time.
