After tribute TO the memory of General Grant

public He said in part:
The last word has not been said touching the
series of campaigns call the Civil War. Per
haps another generation will speak that word and
allocate to commanders and corps the position they
deserve. The impeachment of courage and CON
stancy he successfully made and the
deep impression made by our citizen sodiery upon
the European nations is beyond denial Indeed.
We have been reckoned with and respected from
that time onward. General Grant will be to the
front in all estimates of the future. He may not
realize the fondest anticipations of his devoted
soldiery. who discovered nothing to blame. He
certainly will rise beyond the detractions of those
who cannot understand indomitable Will and silent
strength.

the league. His theme was Faith in

Constitution, Columbia and the Old
America Present.
Glen Cove, N. Y, July 21.-The adj
vance guard of the fleet of the New
York Yacht club arrived in Glen Cove,
the clubs station, this afternoon and
by night some fifty boats were at an
Choir in the harbor. Among the first to
arrive was the big white sloop Consti-
tuition, followed this noon by the CO.
lumbia During the afternoon the In
terest was considerably heightened by
the arrival from the eastward of the
famous schooner America, which
brought over the cup half century
ago. She anchored we'll outside the
fleet The big steam yacht Corsair also
came in during the afternoon, and at
shutdown there were nearly a score of
large yachts and whole flocks of little
fellows. 1t is expected that when Com
modore Ledyard signals the captains to
come on board the flagship Coronta to-
morrow over two hundred will respond
and that there will be assembled the
largest fleet in the history of the New
York Yacht club.
After the meeting Of the captains the
fleet will prepare for a run to Hunting
ton Bay. All the steam yachts and
small sailing vessels will probably go
direct, leaving the racing element of the
fleet to compete for the various cups
offered for a race over a tWenty-one-
mile course.
The start will probably be made some
time after the noon hour from a stake
boat anchored one-quarter of mile
north of Matinacook buoy. The COM
mittee has laid out three courses, the
one selected depending entirely upon the
wind:
No &c. From the starting line,
ten miles, east, northeast to and around
a mark; five miles west to and around
a mark; six and half miles east
southea to the finish, about 81 miles.
No. 2-D From the starting line
seven and one half miles east north
east one-half east and around a mark;
five miles west northwest to and
around mark eight and one-quarter
miles east southeast to finish about q
miles.
No. 81. Eleven miles northeast by
east, one-half east to and around
mark; five miles west southwest, one
half west to and around mark; five
and one-haf miles east southeast one
half east to finish, about 81 miles.
The marks will be floats carrying
red flag with diagonal white stripes,
On all courses these marks must be
left to port. The stakeboat will dis
play the club ensign.

LIBERTY or USST4N PRESS.
Recent Liberal Concessions of the Gar
An IL IN OF Reform.

Correspondence of the Associated Pressl
St. Petersburg, Monday, July S.-The
grant of more liberal press regulations
affords additional proof that Emperor
Nicholas has emancipated himself from
the advisers who still hold the ideas
which prevailed during the unhappy
preiod that followed the murder of the
czar liberator, Alexander I. AS an in
stance of more benevolent reforms, the
following example is given:
A deputation of editors, led by cour-
ageous litterateur, who is no longer
actively connected with the press, went
before his majesty with their humble
petition, Give us a press law" they
pleaded. Let 1t be as your majesty
may deem proper, but give us law.
Let us know where we stand. Free us
from the domination of officials whose
will is their only law. Give us as much
freedom as you can. We will not abuse
it,"
The emperor made a gracious re-
Spouse, but the editors and publishers
were cruelty disappointed. The reac-
tionary crowd gained the ear of the
emperor. An artificial agitation was
started The machinery of government
and the police was set in motion and
the emperor was persuaded that fanat-
ical clements only awaited for the grant
of a modicum Of liberty in order to at
tack the throne, altar and his own life.
The law now granted will restore cour-
age to the press. Hitherto one warn
ing from the censor has sent panic
through the editorial rooms, two have
put them under the sword of Damocles
and three were regarded as preliminary
to extinction, which was rarely long
delayed After three warnings the au-
thorities could shut up the newspaper
at any moment. Now the first notice
or warning will remain in force only
year if a second does not follow within
the year the second will expire within
two years If there is not a third within
that period, and the third will remain
in force only three years, This action
with regard to the liberty of the press
is taken by many to be forerunner of
an era of reform in Russia.

STEEL STRIKE SITUATION.
Continued from First Page.)

Continued from First Page)
Workers have all along been lukewarm
in their support of the strike, and the
firemen insisted that they define their
position, once for all, as it was impossi-
BILE to carry on the strike if the United
Mine Workers opposed it.
With that object in view the execu-
tive officers of the United Mine Work
ers agreed to come to this city and meet
the strikers, 1t was plain from the dis
cussion that the United Mine Workers
were overwhelmingly against the con-
tinuance of the strike. The firemen
realized this, and they submitted the
following questions to the United Mine
Workers.
First-Will you withdraw all men OF
organization from our position If strike
declared off?
Second,-Will you use your influence
to have all engineers and others rein
stated to their former positions If the
strike is declared off?
Thrd-Will you allow us to meet the
United Mine Workers in joint confer
ence and to present grievances at the
same time?
TO the f1rSt TWO questions an dlllIAla-
tive reply was given To the third this
reply was made: Yes, if you join the
United Mine Workers"
A resolution was then adopted calling
on the grievance committee of the Fire
mems association to call on each coal
company tomorrow and ascertain II
the men who went out on strike Tues
day will be given back their positions.
These committees are to make report
to the same Joint committee which met
here to-day, and if the replies from the
companies are favorable, then the strike
will be officially declared off tomorrow
