President Mckinley DOTTED his silk hat

Next came the Indiana, and then the
guns of the British cruiser Talbot well

the next to greet him. and the two
Spanish ships, the corvette Fulton, the
italian cruiser Dogali, and the Raleigh,
Columbia, Amphitrite and Terror, Of the
White Squadron. saluted in quick sue
cession as the Dolphin steamed by. The
rails were manned by the gallant tars
of the various ships and a French
bugle call from the Fulton was added
to its salute of the chief executive.
Salutes were fired after the warships
had been left behind by the revenue
cutters Dexter, Woodbury.. Dallas,
Hamilton and Window, and silence en-
sued when the lighthouse tenders, of
which there were eleven, were reached
The tug Ramapo was filled by soldiers
from Ohio with their band, and steam

highly pleased and walked to the side
of the Dolphin nearest the Ramapo
He took his hat off and remained un-
covered until the Ramapo had gone
astern. A steamer containing the men,

India's Hoard of SDecje.

For long period of years India las
been characterized as a "sinkholo" Ct
the precious metals, or, in other wor;.s,
there has been for many years con-
tinuous flow of the precious metals
gold and silver-into India, where they
have to large extent disappeared, un-
doubtedly by burial underground for
the purpose of boarding and conceal
ment. The motive for this under the
mogul and native rulers was unques-
tionably to escape direct plumber or con-
fiscation, but under British rule these
boards, amounting unquestionably to
many hundreds of millions, are not tax
ed, mainly by reason Of their. inaccessi-
bility, and partly by the recognized pol
icy of the government to avoid direct
taxation of active capital, and encour-
age, by making safe it's employment,
the tendency of these buried treasures
to come to light and enter into the
channels of trade.
That this policy has been wise one
is shown by the fact that within recent
years there has been an increasing dis
position on the part Of the Indian own
ers of concealed treasures, especially
the Indian princes or rajahs, to with.
draw them from their boarding places
and invest them in government bonds
or other desirable, interest bearing Sc
curities, and in this way very great
addition to the worlds active stock, the
money metals, may be anticipated in
the perhaps not distant future. -Popu-

Sturdy afternoon, when the work of de-
molition had been finished.
Numerous attempts had been made to
have the rails removed the past three
years, during which time the line had
not been, operated, but without effect.
The rails were an intolerable nuis-
ance to vehicles. The new city council
held a meeting Saturday night and
again the edict was issued to the board
OF public works to remove the objec-
tionable rails. To prevent legal compli-
cations Ii was decided to do the work
at once, and on Sunday. None, aside
from those Immediately concerned in
the work, knew Of the plans and even
the council members were amazed at
the promptitude with which their in
structions had been fulfilled.

tomb. The dense crowds still stayed in
their seats and watched the end of the
land parade. Then, when the last COM
pany had passed out of sight on the
white roadbed, the hundreds OF thou
sands of spectators sought their homes.
All traffic was congested and 1t was
hours before the tide of travel fell TO its
normal condition. AS o'clock, the hour
at which President Mckinley was to go
on board the Dolphin, approached. the
crowd on the pier where he was to EN-
bark grew larger and larger until sew
eral thousand had assembled. They
greeted the president and his party with
a cheer which was re-echoed from hun
dreds of steamers in the river.
The moment the president boarded the
lighthouse boat Daisy the police boat Pa

the warships, began to force the tugs

space was visible when the Daisy
reached the starboard side of the Dol

from her mainmast. The president set
foot on the deck of the Dolphin, the
presidential salute Of twenty-one guns
was fired and the fleet of steamers blew
whistles until the sound of the firing

In the history of the world, and never

1t was an occasion more of triumphant

OUT OF THE PAIL OF DUST
The Columns of Military Appear and Pass
the Tomb of the Hero.

the Tomb of the Hero.
Then, suddenly in the cloud of dust
from the south, between the two black
lines of people which seemed to meet in
the perspective, came the nodding
plumes of the soldiers. On they marched,
an endless line of white and red and
blue and gray. First passing on the west
side of the monument oval and return
ing on the north road under the monu-
mental arch, they passed the president
In review, and then back again into the
black background of humanity and the
white clouds of dust. Surrounded by
friends, President Mckinley stood and
reviewed the grandestsmilitary pageant
ever seen in this city. There were reg
ular soldiers, regular sailors, national
guardsmen of the sea and land forces,
Grand Army veterans,-Confede vet
Grams, and the striplngs who in the fut-
ure may fight as calamity as their
fathers did.
When the cheering was at its loudest,
and when the wind had somewhat died
away, touching scene was enacted
which was seen by few. Silently Mrs.
Grant stole away from the presidents
reviewing stand, where she had been
watching the gallant troops go by, and
leaning on the arm of her son, Colonel
Grant, made her way to the tomb fol-
lowed only by the members of the Grant
family. The bronze doors were opened
and the widow of the hero passed from
the noise of the outside world into the
dim quiet of the tomb. For about ten
minutes she stayed thereNand then, with
her face hidden in her hands, she left
the scene.

went aboard the Dolphin amid the

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sedi-

diti0n of the kidneys. When urine stains

or pain in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.

earth and paid, without regard to race,
or creed or party prejudice, the last
and long-delayed honor of the living to
the dead, while the greatest throng that
ever filled the city of New York added
it's surging paean to the roar of belching
guns and the tramp of marching SOL
diers.
Gray Has Blended with the Blue.
And in that throng there was no north
and no south, for since the soldier-presi-
dent had said: Let us have peace"
the gray had blended with the blue.
Before the presidential party left the
city to take part in the dedication cere-
monies the fiag-decked streets were
black with people, who cheered vocifer-
ously as the great men drove by. When
the tomb was reached a strange sight
met the eye. All around the oval in
the centre of which stood the gray
monument to Grant were what seemed
to be black hillocks. This somber back
ground was formed by the thousands
Of spectators, who filled the stands
built up from the ground on both sides
of the tomb to the level of the steps
that lead to it's massive doors.
President McKinley's Speech.
To the south, where the loop around
the oval met the Riverside Drive, there
were two solid lines of humanity. On
all four sides of the monument oval the
stands were packed to overlooking
while fac" hose crowds v'o7 the -'', I:
mass e e; sht-soers who had MT
been Ciici divided for. The solemn
service OF c alton seemed to throw
a strange e.. II over this vast throng.
The presdClt stood barehea I'd in the
wind. When he spoke he Was heard
distinctly hy the persons who stood di-
recetly in front of him. General Por-
ter's oratiorain honor of the hero seemed
to impress the crowd less than the sight
of the palefaced, bareheaded president
standing beside the widow of the dead
general, ex-President Cleveland and the
gray-haired statesmen and soldiers. 1t
was their presence, rather than their
words, that lent solemnity to the oc
casion.
Clouds Gather Over the Parade.
The land parade was waited for after
the conclusion of the ceremonies. The
sky became overcast with clouds and
the wind increased until it almost
howled around the trees. The waters
of the Hudson reflected the ashen hue
of the sky and the great white ships
that floated on its bosom stood in al
most ominous relief. The dusty roadbed
of the drive was whipped up until
black coats became brown and spectators
forsook their unsheltered seats for the
protection of the tomb pillars
