The Naval Parade.


piled briefly. .%
The Naval Parade.
The committee returned to the Glen
Island at once, and as Mayor Van Wycl1
left the side of the Raleigh he received
salute of Is guns. Preparations were
made then to get under way for the
parade. The Raleigh was headed down
the stream at the time, and when she
raised her anchor and swung around
slowly the whistles on all the craft near
her shrieked salute, and all the people
on the excursion boats cheered and
waved handkerchiefs and flags. The
Glen Island led the procession of yes
sells and the Raleigh followed Just
astern of her. The Alvarado and San
doval took position off either bow of
the cruiser, and police boats, tugs and
excursion boats followed in double
column. There was no special demon
stration until Governors island was
passed when a national salute was fired.
About this point the coast survey steam
er Pathfinder, with Assistant Secretary
of the Navy Allen aboard, Joined the
procession, following just in the wake
of the Raleigh. From the time the
Raleigh left the Battery until she
reached Grants tomb her whistle and
fog siren were blowing almost CON
stantly in response to salutes from yes
sells lying at their docks or moving up
and, down the river. The ferryboats
were crowded with people cheering and
waving handkerchiefs, and several of
the boats ran alongside the Raleigh for
u short distance

just before arriving almost off
Grants tomb the cruiser slowed down.
preparatory to turning, and while the
cheering and whistle blowing and other
noises were at their height two six
Founders on the Raleigh commenced
their salute of 81 guns. The last shot
had hardly died away when the Alva-
RADIO and Sandoval opened with their
national salute, and a battery on shore
joined in the tribute to Gen. Grant.
When the salutes were concluded the
Raleigh turned slowly and headed
down the river, her escorts turning at
the same time. The run back to an
chorage off Thirty fourth street was
made slowly, and the same enthusiasm
was displayed as on the run up the
river.

Cambon, the French ambassador, the
American copy of the treaty, and the
ambassador in turn gave to the presi-
dent the Spanish copy of the treaty,
properly attested by the queen regent
and premier of Spain. This ceremony
was devoid of all display, but made an
impressive closing scene in the nego-
tiations which again bring the two ma
tons together.
Presidents Proclama ton.
After the ceremony connected with
the exchange of ratification of the peace
treaty, President Mckinley issued the
following proclamation:
Whereas, A treaty of peace between the
United States of America and her majesty.
the queen regent of Spain, In the name of
her august son, Don Alfonso XIII, was
concluded and signed by their respective
plenipotentiaries at Paris on the tenth day
of December, 1898, the original of which Is
in the Spanish language, is word for word
as follows:
(Here full text of treaty is included.)
And, Whereas, The said convention has
been duly ratified on both parts. and the
exchanged in the city of Washington, on
the eleventh day of April. One Thousand
Eight Hundred and Ninety-Nine:
Now. Therefore, be it known. that I.
William Mckinley, president of the United
States of America, have caused the said
convention to be made public. to the end
that the same and every article and clause
thereof may be observed and fulfilled with
good faith by the United States and the
citizens thereof.
I'm witness whereof. have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington. this
eleventh day of April, in the year of Our
Lord, One Thousand Eight Hundred and
Ninety Nine, and of the independence of
the United States the One Hundred and
civilian M'KINLEY,"
''By the President; JOHN HAY, Secretary
of State.''
Eject of the Action.
The effect of the action taken is to
completely renew the peaceful rela-
tons, trade, official, diplomatic, con-
sular, and in all other ways, between
this country and Spain. Following the
appointment of a United States min
lister to Madrid and Spanish minister
to Washington, it is expected that con-
suls will be sent to Barcelona and the
other large places in Spain where our
consular representations were suspend
ed by the war. At the same time Span
ish consuls will be appointed through
this country. For time the trade and
navigation between the two countries
will proceed without treaty protection,
as the war put an end to the CONNER
cial treaty, but treaty of trade, navi-
cation and commerce suitable to the
new conditions and the need of both
countries and also an extradition treaty
will be negotiated soon. ,-'.. -

We have repeatedly called attention
to The size of the stage which is being
placed in the opera house in the new
City Hall building. For years there
were constant complaints about the size
OF the stage in the old opera house, and
when it went up in smoke all the citi-
zens hoped that when a new building
should cover the site the stage would be
large enough to enable first class oom-
panies to use it without difficulty, but i,
10 not to be the case, however, unless
prompt action Is taken. Let it be re-
nodded at once, or it will be forever too
late. The TELEGRAM has regard for
the opinion of competant theatrical men.
and every one of them when asked
about the new stage says a great mis-
lake is being made. the city officials
ought to look out for the future income
from the hall rather than to cater to
either architects or contractors who have
lxes to grind. Other theatrical mana.
'ers not many miles away, may be in
crested in keeping our stage small. If
city meeting is called in response to
'etltion by the voters will the CITY Off
ials respect the wishes of the tax-pay.
rs or must the size of the stage remain
at present, much too small?

journed.
The outlook for long deadlock on the
senatorship is more promising than at
any time since the fight began. Attor-
ney General Elkin says that he does

days. but ntimates that the end may
come at any time.
Lench's Opinion.
Frank Willing Leach, who is regard
ed as one of the most clear headed of
the Quay calcuators. gives 1t as his
opinion that the fight will go on for
weeks to come. He estimates that Sem |
ator Quay can hold to himself at least |
100 men for months if necessary
He admits that under pressure few |
IF his supporters can be pulled away by
he anti-Quay leaders but says that not
enough can he taken to affect seriously
he situation or control of the fight.
Nr. Leach admits that the anti-Quay
orces are equally firm. and he takes
he ground that the only solution is in
he hands of the Democrats.
If they stand firmly by candidate of
heir own party, the deadlock will con-
inue throughout the session. Should
hey attempt to agree upon another
andidate enough might get away from
ne present caucus tie to jerks to make !
nays election possible.
1t is understood that jerks will re-
lain in the field to the end, so as to
old the Democrats firmly in line and
revent the election of Quay
There is strong disposition among 4
