President Cleveland stood on the deck
ana appeared not to mind the terrific BOOM
lnG OF the guns, made dOubly terrific by the
iaet that the atm sphere was not that which
has been characterized as "Cleveland-luck
weather"
AT 80 the first boom of 10-inch gun on
the Miantenomoh announced that the
Dolphin with the President on board was
passing up between the two columns Of war
vessels.
The roar of the Miantonomoh's TWENTY
one guns was followed by 4 salute from the
Brazilian ships Republica and Tiradentes.
Then the Dolphin's reply TO the Braziians
was heard and cloud of smoke rose over
the lower end OF the line of warShips The
Brazilians manned their yards ju st before
the firing, and long lines of bluriackets
stood cut against the white background of
smoke
The Dolphin moved at slow and stately
gait, and the salute of each ship was dis
tinct and sharp. The Aquidabau, the flag
ship the Brazilian fleet. finished saluling
at 40 o'clock and the Nueva Espana took
its turn. At l IA o'clock the Seeadler of
the German fleet fired her first gun. She
was followed moment later by the Reina
Regenta of. the starboard column, aud tho
two ships, one on each side Of the Dolphin,
made things hum. The Kaiserin Augusta
joined the chorus and the echoes rolled up
the Palisades and down again, until one
seemed to hear long line of artillery
reaching for miles on the Jersey shore.
The bands Of the ships played national
airs. but it was only at intervals between
the roar of the guns that the music could be
heard.
The salutes Of the Van Speyk and Infanta
Isabel ran into each other Then there was
a pause for a minute and Argentina's
cruiser belched forth fash that was re-
sponded to by big gun on the Giovanni
Bausan.
1t was :53 when the Concord spoke and
she spoke so rapidly that the salutation was
done in two minutes. The Etna paid her
respects next. Then. after short pause. n

MINISTER EGAN's ROW.
The Chileans Hint That He May Be

New YORK, April 27.-The Herald's
Valparaiso cable says; To counteract the
message sent by Minister Egau to Washing
ton the guard which has been maintained
near the legation OF the United States in
Santiago has been withdrawn.
1t is held here that the message which
Egan sent is very disrespectful
It has been learned that the Minister
Egan endeavored to transact business with
was ErraZuriZ. .
He gave as reason that he did not wish
TO consult with Chiie's present Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Blanco Viel, because he
was member OF the Conservative party
and the Ell Porvenir, which has been at
tacking Egan.
Minister Viel yesterday notified Egan
that he would no longer communicate with
him in an official capacity.
The Government here regards Egan' s
action as insulting, and it would not be
surprising in case Egan continues his hos

The Umbria's Voyage

What a dramatic picture-the
hardness of the great ocean steam-
ship Umbria to make her haven in
the port of New York, and the
glimpses which We have now and
then had Of the stately sea queen,
adrift on the waste of waters, but
ever holding her beautiful, proud
crest upreared! On Christmas
day-how those hundreds of I'M
prisoned voyagers longed fr the
holiday cheer and the festive holly
about the hearthstone at home

caught her signal: 'Siraft broken
and hard at work-need no he p"
Later another rival on the seas

afar, swung about swaying grace'
fully with the sweep of the waves
and 'spoke" her: "Report us all
well" and the sturdy sailors went
on with the work on that broken
piece of machinery whose staunch-
ness meant life or death to them.
The story in detail is coming ont
now. Capt. Mckay, who paced the

SENATOR Jones, of Nevada, de-
fined money to the Monetary Cons
ference to be "a function, not a
material" If he had defined it to
be in its nature. a function, not an
intrinsic material value, he wonld
have been approximately correct.
But the best definition of money is
that it is an authorized medium OF
exchanges Convenient repree
sentative of values OF which by
Government fat it is made the
arbitrary equivalent The as
sumption that money coined of
gold is an" ultimate redemption
value" though long acqniesced
in, is as false as it is fatal to the
public wcllsbeing. 1t is by this
perversion of its legitimate func-
ton as q medium of exchange only,
that coined gold has ever been, and
continues to be, a power to
command and a tyrant
TO oppresd, There are hopeful in.
dications that the true definition
and character OF money will not
be misunderstood much longer.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There is much of truth in the
honest declaration of Senator
Roger O. Mills hat "for thirty
years cowardice has been the curse
sf'Democratic leadership"
There are, unfortunately, few
eminent leaders in the party who
have had the courage to brave
time serving expediency and the
arrogant demands of spoilsmen
banded together in cliques and
clans by the cohesive power Of
public plumber, with no thought of
principle or honest policy.
This is plain language, but it is
the hurting truth.
Mr.. Mills reiterated it again the
other night at Philadelphia, and
the tocsin of his brave, candid,
honest utterances will reach all
over this broad land before an
other Congress meets, calling upon
tie recreant Senators and Repres
sentatives to do their promised
duty to the people. :
It is very true that the National
Democratic leaders have never had
within this time the full power to
enact into laws the policies that
they ad aocated before the people.
but even now, when they have the
power just within their grasp, we
see them higgling and quarreling

about what is to be done and wher
