then embarked in their steam launches
and proceeded to the Dolphin.
PASSING OF THE MERCHANT MARINE.
AL 3:3O o'clock the merchant marine
was slgnaled to get away. The Sea Bird
with the committee on board rounded the
head of the double column of men-of-war
ana started down the river on the New
York side. The Al Foster followed and
The police patrol tugs fell in line two by
TWO. After them came tugs, steamboats,
ana steam yachts two and three abreast,
ana all with whistles blowing, men shout
ing and women waving parasols, as they
passed each man-of-war. The cOmmotiOn
that followed has never been eQualed in
the Hudson river. Clouds of steam rose
from the tugs and blew across the men-of-
war.
CHEERED BY THE TARS.
The crews OF, the men-Of-war faced the
rail and waved handkerchiefs at the noisy
tugs and steamboats, as they passed.
Several steam yachts saluted the men-of-
war with one gun, which sounded like
toy pistol after the big guns of the men-of-
war. The whistles of the tugs and steam
ers Kept up continual footing and blow
ing from the time they were given per
mission to start until the lower end of the
long line of the squadron was reached.
The monotony of the noise of the whistles
was varied by the sirens on several tugs
and tlreboatS. The passengers on the
steamboats, crowded to the side toward
the men-of-war, and many of the steamers
seemed in imminent danger of careening.
They went down the river with one pad
die wheel in the air and their guards un-
der water and the starbOard deck awash.
BOATS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION.
In the procession of boats were steam
crs from Albany and Troy, from Long
Island sound, from Shrewsbury river and
Newark, n. j.; Staten Island ferrykoats
and boats from hundreds Ofnear-by points.
One ocean steamer, the Roanoke of the
Charleston line, was even pressed into
service, and light house tenders, custom
house boats and bargcs towed by putting
tugs were numerous.
The reception of the admirals by Presi-
dent Cleveland lasted until 4:40 o'clock
Then his flag was hauled down on the
Dolphin and he went ashore at Ninety
sixth street, and, at signal from the
Philadelphia, the guns of the entire feet
belched forth simultaneously, Each YES
sci fired twenty-one shots and the roar
that they made was deafening. When it
subsidized smoke hung in heavy clouds
over the river and the Jersey shore was
invisible for some minutes. The admirals
returned to their ships, the steamboats,,
which still fingered with passengers de
sirous of seeing all of the great naval
pageant, went to their piers and the cere-
monies were over.
From the time the President started on
his tour through the lines until the final
salute was fired, the weather was cloudy
with rain. The air was cold and an un-
Olea SAINT wind came ont of tho OortheaS
1t was an improvement upon the forenoon,
but it was not a pleasant day on the
river and on the exposed points of vantage

life was made while Mr.. Gladstone was
walking through st. James park at mid

port of the Pail Mall Gazette is doubtful

the fact that man now in custody on the

TIE STORY CRFnIrEn.

London, April q, Z p. m.--Notwith-
standing the statements made that MIR.
Gladstone was in no danger of being shot,
and that no Importance is attached TO the
affair there is a growing suspicion that
Mr. Gladstone was nearer being fired at
than his friends are willing to admit. The
man underarrest is named William Toun-
send, He is 80 years old and resident
of Sheffield. The officer who arrested
him saw him mount the steps of Mr..
Gladstones residence shortly after Mr.
Gladstone had entered. When the police
man ordered him to descend he fired at
the officer, and subsequently struggled
desperately against being arrested, Toun-
send asserts that the discharge of the re-
volver was accidental.

DIDN'T FIRE AT GLADSTONE.
London, April 27, 10 p. mt has been
learned that Mr.. Gladstone, who attended
"A dinner party last night, was walking
home about the time the man who fired
the revolver was arrested. He saw moth
ing of the occurrence and no one now be-
lieves that any attempt was made to shoot
him
When the shooter was arraigned in the
Bow Street police court this morning the
the man had discharged revolver in the
Horse Guards parade near Downing
street. He evidently intended to shoot
the officer.
An examination Of a note book revealed
the fact that it contained d mass
Of rawlings against Irish home rule,
amid which was suggestion that the
murder Of Gladstone would be justifiable.
Upon this slender foundation the report
of the attempted murder of Mr.. Glad
