procession and gave it the dignity in
size that it boasted in sentiment.
Admiral Dewey, the hero of the day,

glory OF their gold-laced uniforms and
trimmed cooked hats, were in
open barouches. Mayor Van Wyck

Cause of the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
changes Suspension of Business.
New Orleans, Oct. 2.-Intense excite
ment prevails on the cotton exchange
here, and the directors of the exchange
have met and suspended business.
The New York market is closed today,
and the only quotations this morning
to guide local investors were from Liv-
erpool. The market had scarcely
opened when the operators had become
paralyzed by advices clicked from over
the ocean. 1t showed futures jumping
in leaps and bounds. In half an hour
reports showed that the Liverpool mar
ket had jumped nearly a cent. The
whole exchange went wild, and the ex-
citement spreading to the streets, null
titudes crowded around the doors OF
the building.
At 10 O'Clock a meeting of the di-
rectors was called and prompt action
was taken, suspending all business.
Operators were unable TO explain the
tremendous jump, and it was the COM
mon belief ON the floor that the wires
had been tapped and that gigantic
swindling game was on foot some.
where.
Private cables were going to Liver
pool by the dozens. seeking informa-
ton. While the telegraphic wires were
bringing news of the advances at Liver
pool, private cables to prominent local
cotton firms were bearing the news
that there had been little or no change
from yesterday in the Liverpool mar
ket. This at once aroused the sus.
picions of the operators, and caused a
hasty meeting OF the directors.
The action of the directors in order
ing suspension OF business checked
the panic, but only temporarily allayed
the excitement. and there is suppressed
anxiety to know the solution of the
puzzle.
The directors officially announced
later that today's suspension is due tc
fraud. Operators estimate that the
loss suffered here on account of the
swindle will amount to more thar

WRECK OF THE SCOTSMAN.
Fifteen Women Passengers Drowned
ship Looted by Crew.

Montreal, Oct. 2.-Two hundred and
fifty scantily clad, baggage -bereft men,
women and children were on board OF
an inter-colonial special which steamed
into Bonayentura depot tonight. They
composed the greater number OF those
who sailed from Liverpool September
IA on the steamship Scotsman, bound
for Montreal, which was wrecked on
the shores OF the Straits of Belle Isle at
2:30 O'Clock the morning of the 2lst.
1t was not only tale of shipwreck
that they had to tell, but one of death,
Of suffering and pillage, for fifteen, at
least, OF the Scotsman's passengers
perished, all suffered cruelty from cold
and privation and almost the worst
horror OF all, the men who were sup
posed to succor and assist those COM
mitted to their care in the hour OF
need, turned ON the helpless passengers
and with loaded guns and reyolvers
compelled them to part with the few
valuables they had saved. Captain
slrimshire and his officers were excep-
tions. For the honor OF the British
merchant marine, the crime may not
be ascribed to the men engaged in it,,
but to gang of wharf rats and hang
ers-on, picked up ON the docks at Liver
pool to replace the usual crew OF the
Scotsman, which joined the seamen's
strike ON the other side.
The list OF those who perished is as
follows: First-class passengers-Miss

the stage manager Of the "Sign of the
Cross company; Mrs. Robertson and
infant; Mrs. Scott; Mrs. Robinson,
wife of the manager of the Sunlight

cession--Route Was UP the
North River.

New York, Oct. 2.-The naval pa
rade, from the standpoint OF the war
ships, was an immense marine picture,
a water pageant with 20 little OF Incl.
dent, copamred with its great size,
that it appealed to the eye as paint
ing rather than drama. The vast
gathering OF water craft maintained an
average speed OF eight knots, but 20
magnificent was its area that the i'm
preston was one OF exceingly slow and
stately movement. The picture was
continually changing, but 1t melted
slowly in such measured rythm from
form to form that the sense OF motion
was largely lost. II started under a
brilliant sky, passed at the mouth Of
the Hudson through the threat OF an
ugly storm, and emerged through a
rainbow arch that stretched from shore
to shore into a clear and brilliant
sunset off the Grant tomb.
The night had been busy one in the
fleet OF warships of Tompkinsylle.
The last details Of the days ceremony
were hardly settled before the day
itself broke on scene of greater actiy-
ity than the classic anchorage had
ever witnessed before.
The great vessels OF the white squad
ron swung at their anchorage as for
the past two days, but the crowd OF
neighboring craft had been swelled pasl
counting AS far as could be seen the
water was mass Of moving steamers.
The evolution began at o'clock,
and in 10 minutes the fighting line
was straightened out up the harbor.
Admiral Dewey was going to his own
place at the head of squadron that
would have won, at need, three battles
Of Manila bay without stopping for
breakfast.
The head OF the column was broad
arrow. Six torpedo boats spread out
at the bar, three ON a side, from the
Olympia's quarter. Outside of them
a flying wedge OF police patrol boats
formed great v, whose apex was the
Olympia.
Flanking them, ahead and astern,
were the harbor fire boats, spoutine
great columns OF water that turned
threateningly toward the excursion
boats on either side when they at
tempted to crowd the line of march.
But the pageant back of this power
ful vanguard was not limited to a
single or sextuple line OF ships. II
was sinuous marine monster half a
mile wide, whose vertebrae were the
ships of the white squadron, and whose
ribs were rows upon rows OF every sort
OF floating thing that had ever run by
steam in New York harbor.
From the time the British yacht
Erin started she certainly was the
chief attraction along the river front,
after the Olympia had gone by, and
Sir Thomas Upton was accorded an
ovation all along the line. To those
on board the Erin, decked out as she
was with flags of all nations, it looked
as il the American people were greatly
pleased with Sir Thomas, and were
delighted at an opportunity to give
him hearty welcome. They raI
alongside in tugs, barges, launches and
big excursion steamers, and shouted
all sorts OF complimentary things Il
him, while the tall yachstman on the
upper brigde OF the Erin wore smile
and not infrequently called back hi
thanks for the kind wishes.
