dent and departed for their own ships. A
few moments afterward President Cleveland
disembarked, and was taken in launch to
the foot of Ninety-eighth street. where car
riages were waiting to convey MIN and the
Presidential party to the Victoria Hotel.
As the Presidents flag was lowered On the
Dolphin the final honors to the Chief Execu-
tive were paid by the whole fleet at once,
each vessel Of the thirty-fve firing twenty
one guns. The tumult made by the 73o sep

of abou three minutes. far excelled all pre-

which flung her outlines in lines OF ireagainsr

At the end of all the Blake showed to what
lengths the English Vice-Admiral was willing
to carry his friendly feeling by flashing upon
the deck which he commands a fiery figure
of Washington, the man who led slsse colonies
in war upon his kingdom. For: hours
the sullen sky was criss-crossed with
paths of brilliant flame. and the
horizon served rs background for
colored signal lights and glorious pyrotech-
mics. The American ships showed the many
ways in which the lights are used in active war
fare to protect themselves from attacks OF
those marine terrors, torpedo boats. At

France, Russia, England, Brazil, Argentina,

COLUMBIAN GUARDS RESIGN
They Strike for More Pay at the
Worlds Fair.

Columbian Guards at the Worlds Fair,
Chicago, ILL.,, just before the opening, to the
number of 1876 sent in their designations, and
Colonel Rice realized that he had full
sized strike on his hands. The men who re-
signed comprised ten First Sergeauts,
twenty-five Second Sergeants, fifty Duty
Sergeants and ITO Of the privates.
The trouble had been brewing for some
time, but the wholesale resignation of the
men was an unwelcome surprise to Colonel
Rice. Nearly two months before the men
applied for raise in salary. They were
paid $50 month: they demanded $40. but
did not get it.

scale OF wages" said one of the men, ''aud

majestically.
At frst the unnumbered people who were
the witnesses of this stupendous scene and
the hearers OF this still more stupendous
noise made not sound. Americans though
they were, they we're overawed, crushed INTO
silence by the power OF what was before
them. But they rose to the spirit Of the great
occasion at last, and when France sent forth
her first notes OF the martial music from
the guns Of the Jean Bart, Hussard and Ar
theuse, the multitude along the New York
shore set up such a mighty shout that for one
brief moment its shrill sound rose even above
the shock OF the cannonading. Still the
noise kept on. Our own white cruisers
