a GRAND WELCOME HOME.
The Cruiser Raleigh II Cheered BY
Thousands OF New Workers on Her
Arrival from Manila-A Parade in
the Rain.

The Cruiser Raleigh II Cheered by
Thousands OF New y Orkers on Her
Arrival from ManIla-A Parade in
she Rain.
New York, April 17.-The celebration
attending the return of the United
States cruiser Raleigh from Manila,
which had to be postponed. owing to
the warship's late arrival, occurred
Sunday. The Raleigh, accompanied by
two small war vessels captured from
the Spaniards last summer, and feet
Of about 25 excursion steamers and
tug boats. paraded from Tompkinsville
TO Grants tomb and from there back
to anchorage in the North river OIL
Thirty-Fonrth street.
The Raleigh lay at anchor off Tomp-
kinsville all the morning and no espe-
cial excitement attended her presence
there until about 10 o'clock, when sew
eral steamers arrived from the city, ran
alongside of her and cheered her time
and again. Mrs. Coghlan, the wife OF
the commander of the cruiser, arrived
az Tompkinsville between Q and 10
o'clock, when she took a small boat and
went out to the Raleigh and welcomed
her husband. The citizens reception
committee visited the Raleigh and
Mayor Van Wyck welcomed the Ra-
leigh to New York and extended the
freedom of the city to the officers and
men.
The cruiser did not leave her anchor
oge off Tompkinsville for the parade up
the bay and the Hudson river until
shortly before noon. An hour before
that time a drizzling rain commenced
| to fall, and this soon turned into a
steady downpour which continued the
remainder of the day. The air was
raw and the officers and men of the
Raleigh stood upon the decks three
hours, drenched TO the skin and shiver-
ing with the cold. There were very
few people along the river front in the
lower part of the city, owing partly
to the weather and partly to the fact
that the entrances to the piers are gen.
orally closed on Sunday. But great
crowds assembled in Riverside park,
overlooking the Hudson, and men,
women and children stood there for
hours under umbrellas, watching the
vessels on their way up the river.
BY far the greatest gathering of peo-
pie was in the vicinity of Grants tomb,
which was the truning point of the pa
rade. national salute was fired
there by the Raleigh and also by the
captured Spanish prizes, and the scene
was rendered a memorable one by the
shrieking of hundred steam whistles
from excursion boats and locomotives
and cheers from thousands of people
on shore and on the vessels in the
river.
When the Raleigh anchored on her
return trip she was surrounded by a
feet of excursion boats, and as fast as
these could reach her gangway the men
aboard them climbed aboard the cruz
ser and extended welcome to the Off
GERS and men. The warshlp was un-
comfortably crowded, but everybody
received a cordial welcome and the
crew took great pride in showing WIS.,
itors over the ship and in pointing out
the five-inch gun that fired the first
shot in the battle of Manila bay.

Street Car Traffic Obstructed.

Wheeling, April 17.-Yesterday was
Sunday in name only on the Wheeling
railway. There were several dis
turbances, the most serious occur
ring in Martins Ferry, attendant upon
the company's first attempt to run cars
through that town. A car was sur
rounded and a spectator attempted to
pull deputy marshal from the car, but
the officer drew his revolver and the
crowd retreated. After much diff
Guilty the car got back TO Wheeling.
Since then the tracks in Martins Ferry
have been loaded down with obstruc-
tions. Judge Jackson will come to
Wheeling and open a special term Of
court to-day. Persons arrested for
violation of his injunction will be tried

Washington, April 17.-The bureau
OF statistics in an article furnished the
press says that the expectation Of
manufactures in the fiscal year 1899 is
likely to show an increase of more than
$3O,OOO,OOO over that of last year and
that iron and steel alone will supply
more than half that increase. In the
eight months of the fiscal year, for
which the treasury figures are now
available, the exports Of iron and steel
are nearly $16,0OO,00O greater than in
the corresponding months of the previ-
GUS fiscal year, showing a gain of Sc
per cent. over these Of last year.

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
Republican COngressmen Meet in At.
lantic City, N. j., 20 DRAFT LegisIa.
ton on This subject.


Atlantic City, N. j., April 17.-The
committee on monetary legislation APP
pointed at a caucus of the republican
members of the national house of rep
resentatives shortly before the adjourn
ment of congress will begin its sessions
in this city to-day. David B. Hender-
son, OF Iowa, is chairman and the other
members of the committee are John
Dalzell, of Pennsylvania; Serene Z.
Payne, of New York; jesse overstreet,
of Indiana; w. C. Lowering, of Massa-
chusetts; Charles Curtis, of Kansas;
Page Morris, of Minnesota; Eugene +.
Loud, of California; r. B. Hawley, of
Texas, j. w. Babcock, of Wisconsin,
and Mr.. Kerr, of Ohio. The committee
Is considered to embody the sound
financial thought of the republican side
Of the house.
Haddon hall, one of the largest
hotels on the beach front, is the head
quarters of the committee, and the
meetings will be held in one of the par
lors. The gatherings will be private
and will probably be Irregular, as the
work assigned to the members par
takes more of the nature of confer
ence, and as the committee is not q
public one, it will only give out such
news for publication as best suits its
purpose. 1t is expected that the ses-
sions will last two weeks and they may
extend much longer. The committee
may decide to perfect bill to meet the
situation, or it may outline a measure
and then adjourn to meet again later
In the year. 1t win consider all the
important bills on the currency ques-
tion before the last congress.
Mr.. Overstreet has prepared com
parison of the principal features of all
these bills, which will be of much value
to the committee. There has also been
secured from the treasury department
a great mass of valuable financial data.
In addition the committee will have at
its command a complete codification
of the existing currency laws.
1t is expected that many distin-
guished financiers will be given the
opportunity to appear before the COM
mittee and present their views on the
subject of the expansion OF the cur
rency, the establishment of the gold
standard and other matters to be con-
sidered. H. II. Hanna and other repre-
septatives of the executive committee
of the indianapolis monetary conven-
ton will he here during the sessions to
urge the bill of the monetary commits
sion.
Mr.. Hanna was directed at a recent
meeting of the indianapolis executive
committee 10 urge the adoption
of the entire programme of
the monetary commission, but if this
does not appear possible, to accept
notifications not inconsistent with the
