New YORK, April 81. The day
selected to observe the four hun
dredth anniversary of Columbus
discovery of America by the grand
est naval pageant in the history of
the world, was ushered in amidst
the pouring rain that had been fall
ing steadily since last night, satu
rating everything everywhere.
One of the most pitiful results of
the storm was the wilted, forlorn,
bedrag gled appearance of the beau.
tiful decorations of. the buildings
OF the city.
The rain dida't keep everyone at
home, however. There was
steady stream to North River all
morning, and hundreds of excursion
boats OF all descriptions We're filed
with sight seers.
At & O'Clock big American flag
was run up the top mast of eacn
vessel, and big flags of their own
country fore and aft, aud by o
O'Clock all were in holiday dress.
Just as every one was expecting
that the programme would be car
ried out despite the storm, the
announcement was made that the
review had been deferred until 2
o'clock on account of the rain, the
signal boat Gushing earring the
information TO each vessel in the
line, which covered distance Of
three miles.
At 1905, President Cleveland left
the Victoria hotel for the foot of
Twenty third street, where about ?
O'Clock he embarked aboard the
reviewing boat Dolphin.
The president was escorted by
his naval aides and accompanied by
Mrs. Cleveland and the members of
the cabinet with their wives. The
members of the diplomatic corps,
representing foreign governments,
who were to have reviewed the
pageant from the Dolphin, had
previously gone aboard the coast

Interesting Revival Meetings.
Other Notes.
Last Sunday week, series of re
vival meetings We're inaugurated at
the East Waco Baptist church, and
interest aud attendance at the ser.
vices, which are now held every
evening, are increasing daily.
The results of the meetings have
been most encouraging, as shown
by the fact that within the last
week there have been fifteen con
versions, nine of whom were con-
,ered last night.
Rev. John Bateman, who is con
Quoting the meetings, has been ma
'erially aidsd by Rev. V. G. Gun
ningham, Rev. }. G. f. Kyger and
a number of the young ministers
and theological students of BAYLOR
[ University.
Owing to the success with which
they have been met, the revival will
be continued indefinitely.
The revival meetings at the NJ Dr.
row street Methodist church are at,
tracing large congregations every
night, the capacity of the house not
beng adequate to accommodate the
large crowds. Last Sunday +h;,
teen persons were converted and
accepted Christ. The meeting las,
night was conducted by Presiding
Elder Armstrong, and tonight Rev
II. NJ. Whaling. pastor of the
Fifth Street Methodist Church, will
conduct services.

THE silver question has as great
power to change its color as the tabled
chameleon, all being dependent on the
point OF view from which it is regarded.
The mono metallic or gold bug view is
embodied in the latest circular of Henry
Clewe & Co., dated at New York on the
18th OF June. 1t says:
The past week acores two very impor.
tant gains towards common recovery
OF confidence. To one-the action of
the clearing house-we have already
made reference. The other is, in =
broad eeuee, still more vitality impor-
taut. The canvass, made in different
directions, as to fhe disposition OF msm-
here Of congress towards the silver ques-
ton, leaves scarcely doubt as to bill
being passed at the coming special ses-
sion repeating the silver purchasing
clause in the Sherman act. How much
further congress may be disposed to 60
in tho way OF amending our general
currency system, go as to make it
more elastic in the way of auto.
matte expansion and contraction, re-
mains to be seen but, 80 far as respects
this most dangerous feature of the silver
element of our money, there is hardly
room for doubt about its being prompt
ly eliminated. A larger benetit to the
country at large could hardly be con-
ceived. II is the doubt as to the quality
of our futute money that has had an
important influence in causing the re-
turn OF our securities from abroad during
the past year, thereby deranging the
course of foreign exchanges and pro-
ducing the large loss of gold that has
depleted the reserves of both the treas
ury and the banks. This doubt being
removed, there would be nothing to pre-.
vent general recovery of confidence in
our securities in Europe, with the proba-
Bile consequence of return of much of
the gold we have lost, and resulting res
toration OF the monetary strength OF the
banks and general ease in credits.
All on monetary disasters are here
referable to silver. Clews &c Co. very
conveniently overlook the fact that our
imports exceeded our exports last year
considerably over one hundred" and
twenty millions OF dollars, which is about
twenty-five millions more than our
exports OF the yellow metal. But little
fact like that cuts no figure with such
doctrinaires as Clews. But as we are
giving the gold bag view we will wind
up with mis- deduction:
In view of these facts, we anticipate,
IRON this time forward, a steady recov-
cry OF confidence, which will gain in
strength with the course of events and
the nearer approach of the assembling
OF congress. This prospect may not pro-

Carrie Jones Acqu, ,tted-Minor Cases on
Trial.

Carrie Jones Acqutted-ninor Gases on
Trial.
The examination OF Carrie Jones, a
well-known New High street resident,
was concluded yesterday by Justice
Seaman.
The woman was charged with. having
stolen $12 from Joe Mschetta, an Italian
cook.
Machetta when placed upon the stand
said himself that he had glorious
"full" on the night of the alleged rob-
berry, and also stated that he was not
sure when he was robbed or by whom.
At the conclusion of the testimony
Justice Seaman dismissed the complaint
for want of sufficient evidence on which
to hold the defendant.
The three hobos who were hanging
around the Los Angeles National bank
Wednesday, and were arrested by De-
tectivee Auble, Benson and Officer Kin
ney, we're adjudged vagrantH by Justice
Austin yesterday.
James Reynolds was given six days in
the chain gang and j. Thompson ten.
II. Hennessy was committed to appear
for sentence today.
A complaint WAS sworn to in Justice
Seamans' court yesterday by M. Myer,
who charges Edgar Flemmiug with OBJ
tanning goods from him under false pre-
tenHes. Meyer Gays that Flemming told
him he had funds in the Consolidated
National bank of San Diego, and gave
him three checks on thst institution,
the aggregate value OF the documents
being $S4. When the checks were pre-
eented Meyer was informed that Fiem-

An UnacceptabIe Decislon.

WAsuTNGToN, June 22.-The govern
ment is not disposed to accept as final
the decision of the United States district
court at Seattle, Wash, that it has lost
entirely power to control the uee of lands
of the Puyallup Indians near Tacoma,
by reason of the allotment OF the lands
in saveraty, and Attorney-General

HARD-HEADED old John Bryson has no
words strong enough In which to express
bis contempt for the idiocy OF the people
who have raided our banks. Fer the
moment reason seemed to have fed to
british beasts. There are times when it
would seem to be impossible to do a
banking business. A banker is supposed
to discount commercial paper and acc om-
modate business men, thereby earning
the money which enables him to pay the
rent OF his bank, the outlay for his fix
tures, clerk hire, etc., etc., and, in most
cases, interest on deposits. Yet the
American public, the moment they dis
cover that the banker whom they ex-
pected to do so has loaned out portion
OF their money, pounce upon him like
hawk upon June-bug, and want it all
back instanter. The only remedy for
this state Of things that ono can Gee is to
insist upon the government guarantee
ing the deposits as we'll as the notes OF
the national banks, and the state guar
anteeing those of the state banks. With
rigid banking system this would be
quite practicable, and with the state and
nation behind these institutions "runs"
would be impossible.
