AN ANNIVERSARY.
The Evacuation Of Port Ontario By the British,
Century Ago.

OswEGo, N. r., July 15.--The Tooth
anniversary Of the evacuation of Fort
Ontario by the British, and which is
practically the last Of the series of the
great centennial celebrations inaugur-
ated In Philadelphia in 1876, was ap-
propriately observed here to-day. The
city is in gala attire, and the early
trains brought in fully 10000 visitors.
A salute at sunrise ushered in the
day, and at IL O'Clock there was an
immense military and civic parade, re-
viewed by General Nelson A. Miles and
staff; General Ruger, commanding the
department of the east; Colonel Ashley
w. Cole, representing Governor Nor.
ton, and Lieutenant Governor Saxon.
In the military division, was the Ninth
regiment of the United States infantry
from Sackett's harbor, troop G, OF
Brooklyn, and a large number of sep
crate companies of the national guard.
The civic division consisted of q num-
ber Of uniformed organizations and
school children.
The formal ceremony OF taking pos
session of the fort and raising the
American flag took place at 8 O'Clock,
10 the presence of an immense throng.
George T. Clark, Of this city, read the
historical narrative, and the oration
was delivered by General Horace Por-
ter. Tonight there will be a display
of fireworks and q gala time gener-
ally.

MR.. HANNA ON HAND.
Depressed by Death, but He Meets Members
of Republican Committees.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, July 15.-The re.
naming members OF the newly-appoint-
ed executive national committee, &C.
companied by the republican national
committee, reached Cleveland, this
morning, shortly after 10 o'clock, and
went into executive session In Chair
imam Hanna's rooms. with ex.U. s.
Marshall Haskell as sergeant-at-arms.
Mr.. Hanna met the members of the
committee in depressing circumstances.
The sudden death. yesterday, OF his
brother. law. Colonel Pyckands, was
serious blow to him, and he plainly
showed the effects Of the stroke in his
appearance and actions, this morning.
However, he proceeded. as best he
could, with the consideration of the
business on hand. To reporter for
the United Press, Mr.. Hanna said: 81
cannot say how long the committee
will be in session. Certainly through h
tomorrow, though, and possibly until
the end of the week. We have got a
good deal of important business to con-
slider and dispose Of My purpose is
to keep the committee in session until
all has been cleared up. The gentle
men come here, / think, prepared to
spend whatever time is necessary to
put things in good order for the cam
paign."
The most interesting question is that
of headquarters. The western men,
bers believe that they should be locat-
ed at Chicago, but, as one Of them
said, "While we hold this individual
opinion, we shall not urge it upon
other members. Mr.. Hanna's wishes
in the matter will doubtless determine
the matter.u As yet, nothing IS indi.
Gated Of change from the opinion ex-
pressed by Mr.. Hanna, that il New
York does not get the headquarters,
Cleveland will. Nothing has yet been,
decided regarding the ninth member
Of the executive committee, although
it is said, this morning, that il Senator
Thurston will not accept the place, it
will be offered to h. z. Kerens, OF St.
Louis.

AWKWARD MlSHAP AT SEA

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 16.-The
strikers at the Brown hoist works, on
learning, last night, that the company
was recruiting its non-union forces IN
Canada and at Cincinnati, organized
committees Of ten and twenty men, and
each committee was given section OF
territory to patrol and look for nom
union men. These committees were
on duty early this morning, and %
the non-union men were transferred
at streets in the neighborhood of the
works, they were attacked with clubs
and other weapons. Many hundreds
of men climbed on the street cars, the
speed Of which was then increased,
throwing the men violently to the pave
ments, and several were injured. The
rioters paraded the streets for range
of twenty blocks in the vicinity of the
works. The police are utterly unable
to cope with the strikers in this guer-
rilla fighting. Mayor McKisson has
ordered a company of militia to the
scene of the rioting.

Awkward MIshap at Sea.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 15.-The
tug "Activen arrived here shortly after
l O'Clock, this morning, with passen-
gers off the Pacific mail steamer 'sCo-
lombia," which grounded off Pigeon
Point lighthouse, yesterday. No lives
were lost, nor was there panic among
the passengers. The only harm done
is the cutting of big hole in the
stranded vessel. Her cargo is light.
Pacific mail officials are hopeful Of
being able to pull the "Colombia" into
deep water at hightide. What prom
iced to be serious disaster, is likely
to resolve itself into an awkward mis-
hap.
