Moscow's Gala Day.

Moscow, May 21.-The triumphal
entry OF the emperor and empress into
Moscow occurred to-day. At $50
o'clock the cannon doomed the signal
for every bell to peal forth, and in an
instant an indescribable jangle of the
hundreds of bells in this much-belled
city broke upon the ear. At the sound
of the first cannon shot, the word of
command was given and the procession
started. 1t was the most gorgeous
scene that Moscow had ever beheld and
was in accordance with the programme
previously arranged. In the immense
and imposing procession rode deputies
of the Asiatic tribes and people of the
east, gorgeously dressed, riding richly
caparisoned steeds; Calmucks and Kir-
ghiz, many with high rich-colored tur-
bans and iewelled scimetars, representa-
tives of the hundreds of races over
which the Great White Car reigns,
preceded by O multitude of soldiers.
Escorted by cuirassiers, the emperor
appeared, dressed in full generals
uniform. He, the Car, constantly
bowed his salutations to the multitude,
who, upon the first sight of His Majesty,
raised a prolonged roar which was
taken up on all sides and welled into q
perfect hurricane of sound. Preceded
by regiment of grenadiers came the
empress in magnificent gilded state
carriage, drawn by four pairs of cream
colored horses and guarded in the
rear by cossacks. Similarly escorted
came coaches bearing princesses and
ladies of the court. On arriving at the
Iberian chapel, the emperor alighted,
and, with the empress, assembled the
steps to the shrine, while the choir
sang hymns of praise. The emperor
and empress worshipped excessively
in the Cathedrals OF the Assumption,
of the Archangel Michael and the An
nunciation, where TIE Deums were sung.
Afterwards the imperial party ira.
versed the halls of st. George and ST..
Alexander and the Throne Hall to the
Hall of st. Catherine, where none but
those intimately connected with the
imperial household is permitted TO en-
ter.
1t is impossible to describe the gorge
business of the scenes in the streets un-
der the brilliant sunshine. The groups
of immense domes, regilded for the &C.
casioD, shone brightly in the sun light
and the decorations, bright uniforms,
plumed helmets, flags, court dresses,
jewels, etc, and the imposing process
sion presented spectacle dazzling be-
yond the power of words to adequately
describe.

Alarming Rise OF the Mississippi.

ST. LOUIS, May 21.-The rain which
has fallen almost steadily throughout
Missouri since last Sunday continues
to- day and the greatest anxiety is felt
for the safety of people living along the
bottom lands of the Missouri, Cascon-
ade and Usage rivers. In the western
and southern portions of the State
bridges were washed away by the
dozens. Nearly every stream is flow
ing over and as the rain is still falling
the situation is growing alarming. If
it continues at this rate for several days
the big flood of 1898 will be outdone.
ALTON, ILL.,, May 21.-The Mississippi,
reinforced by the flood from the
Missouri, passed the danger line here
yesterday afternoon at IS feet and is
still rising alarmingly, thousands of
acres of wheat and corn being covered
and crops ruined.

POLITICAL.

The democratic State convention of
Iowa yesterday declared for free silver
in the most radical terms, presented ex-
Gov. Boies to the democracy of the
nation as candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination, and instructed the
delegates-at-large and the district dele
gates, three of the latter being adj
herents of the sound money doctrine,
to vote as unit.
In the South Dakota democratic
State convention last night resolutions
were adopted indorsing the administra-
ton and declaring for the present
standard. A free silver substitute was
offered, but voted down by majority
of 81. After the adoption of the gold
standard platform the silver men
charged that this was accomplished by
the free use of proxies held by AZ
federal marshals and Office holders act
ing under instructions from Washing
ton. They are very indignant and
many of them, including the democratic
editors, declared this morning that they
would hereafter support the populists.
The delegates to Chicago are all gold
men. The convention adjourned at
2 o. 10.
In the South Carolina democratic
State convention at Columbia, yester-
day platform was adopted in favor of
free silver and delegates to the Chicago
convention were elected. Cuban reso-
lutions calling on the President to
carry out the action of Congress we're
adopted unanimously. A Tillman
presidency resolution was adopted by
a rising vote. Senator Irby, speaking
in the capacity of chairman of the
democracy of the State, warned the
reform faction against boiling, and pre-
dicted ruin to the party in the State,
and not only to white supremacy, but
white civilization; as the breech would
be a permanent one. He said that the
whole trouble was that the party was
good enough to elect Tillman governor
twice, and to the Senate, but was not
good enough to elect him President.
Senator Tillman was bitter in his reply,
and ascribed Irby's attack on him to
his (Irby's) fear for his reelection. 10
this Irby, who was seated at short
distance, gave the lie direct. Tillman's
answer was lost in the confusion that
followed. Tillman then denounced
President Cleveland and the money
power of the East and announced his
readiness to join hands with the West.
He was bitter in his comments on the
democrats of the North and favored the
bolt if tie convention did not declare
for silver

WEDNESDAY NIGHT-DIoCEsAN MIS-
sIoNARY SERVICE.
At eight o'clock last night a service
was held in St. Paul's Church in the
interest of diocesan missions. Special
missionary prayers were read by Rev.
P. P. Phillips, after which Bishop Co
adiutor Newton introduced the speak.
ers for the evening, who were the Revs.
Nelson Dame, John McGill and Robt.
Goodwin. The addresses were earnest
and to the point, apd held the atten-
ton of the large congregation present.
Bishop Whittle was in the chancel.
The offertory was taken up for do
cesar missions. Before the addresses
DR.. Pike Powers, secretary of the do
cesar missionary society, read his an
nual report. From this we gather the
following points of interest: Thirty
parishes in the diocese have been as
sisted during the past year in sums
varying from $50 to 5000 according to
tho needs of the respective parishes.
The total amount received during the
year by the society is S6,915.15, includ-
ing g, 3O3.93 contributed by the child
rem of the diocese. The only counties
in the diocese receiving no aid direct
or indirect being Goochland, which is
helped by the Richmond convooation,
Charles City, Prince William and AL
exandria counties. During the past
seventeen years, covering the present
secretary's incumbency, only one sep
arate church and one parish have re-
signed permanently from the list of
benefciaries and become self-support-
ing. While on the whole, it is
felt the parishes are generally do
ing their duty, possibly some could
do more for the support of the
clergy, vino are selfdenying and con-
secreted to their work. The present
number of communicates may be put at
10000. An average of a cent and a-half
a week from each would give the so.
ciety 81 800 a year, which would enable
1t to keep up and enlarge its present
work. The society recommends that
the council support the evangelist If it
