Demoralize Business Everywhere In
Delaware.
DOVER, April 2s, 10 p. m.-As soon as
the bill was taken up for final action
Senator Watson offered a substitute for
the original Fulton bill. By this time
the gallery was crowded.
Senator Pyle said that farmers, mechan-
les and business men Of New Castle
county were almost unanimously op-
posed TO such measure and had so ex-
pressed themselves in the State House
through their representatives.
Senator McMullin said that he had
been farmer all his life, represented
farmers He called upon the Senate to
kill this bill which would be disastrous
to them in the end
Senator Lacey spoke for the amend
ment. He said that farmers demanded
it and land should not pay all for the
support of county aud state government.
Senator Pilling resented the imputa.
tion and said he paid more tax than all
the farmers Of Kent county put together
and paid 500 county tax on twenty
seven acres of ground he would not sub
NIT to such charge.
Senator Records again moved a post

JACK TARS DELIGHTED.

They Did Their Part in the Magnificent
Spectacle of Yesterday But Wanted to
Show Themselves on shore.
The first suggestion that our visitors
be invited to land their men and take
part in a land parade was declared by
the big wigs Of our navy to be cut Of
the question. 1t was not until President
Cleveland took the matter in hand that
the foreign admirals were asked if they
would land their men. The heartiness
with which nearly all the foreigners
accepted the invitation when it was
extended indicated the good will existing
between their governments and ours and
dispelled all doubts as to the possibility
of having the foreigners take part in q
demonstration on shore.
The news when it reached the Jack
Tars caused great delight. They are
proud of their ships, and they did their
part toward making the marine spectacle
magnificent success, but they looked
forward to to days parade as an oppor-
tunity to show the Americans of what
stuff they are made and at the same time
have a good look at the Americans, in
The admirals had been dined and feted
and the day had arrived when the mid
dies, the red coated marines, the artil =
lerymen. and the blue jackets would have
their turn Hence there was Joy between
the decks this morning Every man
Jack o'them had brushed up his uniform
polished his musket, furnished his ca rt-
ridge box and belt, aud was ready for
rJln hn min ~
quarters and the men were inspected
before starting for the shore
Each vessel retained enough of men TO
keep her ship shape, and to take care of
her in any emergency that might arise.
When the long boat, the cutter and the
gig were dropped over the side the men
slid into them and in an instant were
pulling toward the shore with the stroke
that marks the mai of war.
Ten o'clock was the hour for forming
the line, and the formation was OF
Forty second street from the West
Shore ferry extending toward Sixtl
Avenue. An hour before that time the
white boats of our own navy and tn,
odd shaped boats of the foreigners be-
gan to arrive at the foot of Forty
second street and the vicinity of tn,
landing assumed a blue aspect from
the number of uniforms of that color
Several platoons of police were on hanC
to keep back the crowd of sightseer
who had assembled and there was con
siderable difficulty in maintaining the
lines, SO eager was the crowd to have
close look at the swarthy tars of othe
nations. Our own sailors were no
neglected They we're cheered but ther
was not a rush to get near them, 70
they had no eagles or crowns embroid
cred on their sleeves. and they wer
