SALUTE OF THE FLEETS BRUNSBUTTEL, Germany, June 20.—At a quarter of 4 this mcrning the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, with Emperor William and the princes on board, entered the west- ern water gate of the Baltic and North Sea canal in order te formally open it. The gate was magnificently decorated, and the Hohenzollern passed through amid ringing cheers from the military associations, stu- dents, delegations and mazses of the popu- lace, the bands playing the national an- them, and accompanying the music were the voices of the crowds assembled, who joined heartily in chorus. His majesty stood on the deck of his yacht and bowed his thanks, with visible emotion, on all sides. At 4 o'clock the Hobenzollern severed the thread stretched across the canal and’com- menced the passage of the new waterway. GRUENTHAL, June 20.—The imperial yacht Hohenzollern, with the emperor princes 01 board, passed the bridge at a.m, Passing of the Emperor. RENDSBURG, June 20.—At an early hour this mgrning the town, which is gaily dec- orated for the occasion, was full of life, the influx of sight-seers being enormous. The various local and visiting associations and schools, headed by bands of music, marched to the stands set apart for their use end prepared to enjoy a view of the imperiai procession through the canal. The :mperial yacht Hohenzollern passed here at 9 o'clock this morning and was fol- lowed twenty minutes later by the Kaiser- Adler, having on board the Kings of Sax- ony and Wurtemberg, the regent of Bava- riay Prince Luitpold and the Grand’ Duke of Baden. The passage of the two steamers was the occasion for loud and prolonged cheering from the immense crowds of people gath- ered on both banks of the canal. Formal Opening Accomplished. HOLTENAU, June 20.—The Hohenzollern reached the canal lock here at 12:40 p.m., being the first’ vessel ‘to formally pass through the canal, and was greeted with vociferous cheers from masses of specta- tors. The appearance of the Hohenzollern was the signal for a simultaneous cannon- ading from the various fleets of warships in the bay, as they fired salutes in honor of his majesty. The Hohenzollern then replied with her guns to the salutes of the foreign warships, and the opening of the Baltic and North Sea canal was an accomplished fact, The arrival of the Hohenzoiiern here was witnessed by the Empress of Germany, Princess Henry of Prussia, and their suites, who occupied the Hotel Bellevue. The last vessel of the procession passed the canal at 1:55 p.m. | + : Procession Through the Canal. ‘The following was the order of the. pro- cession: A dispatch boat, acting as a pilot.

KIEL, June 20.—The weather this morn- ing was magnificent, and the greatest ani- mation prevails everywhere. At the ear- liest hours of the day thousands of per- sons were already en route to Holtenau and Levensail, in order to await the ar- rival of the imperial procession from Bruns- buttel. The special train conveying the represen- tatives of the press arrived here from Hamburg at 5 o'clock this morning. The shipping in the harbor was profusely decerated with bunting, and the whole port presented a very picturesque appearance. ‘The stands on the neighboring heights were filled with sightseers, and masses of people who were unable to obtain seats were grouped here and there and everywhere. This being the fifty-eighth anniversary of the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne of Great Britain, by special com- mand of Emperor William a royal salute was fired at noon from all the German warships, which at the same time hoisted the british flag to the strains of the na- tional anthem of Great Britain. At §:30 a.m. representatives of the Ger- man and foreign press assembled on board the Prinz Walaemar, the steamer allotted to their use for the day, and were wel- comed by Dr. Hamann of the foreign office. When all the newspaper men were pres- ene Dr. Hamann addressed them as fol- lows: “As the representative of the foreign of- fice it is my agreeable duty to welcome you on board this vessel.

The Indications for This Section Dur- ing the Next Twenty-Four Hours. Ferecast till 8 p.m. Friday: For the District of Columbia, Maryland and Delaware, increasing cloudiness and showers today and tonight, fair Frida. slight changes in temperature; wind shift- ing to northerly. For Virginia, increasing cloudiness and "showers; southerly, shifting to northerly winds. The southwestern rain area has extended over the Ohio valley, and rain has con- tinued in areas in the southwest and north- west. . The temperatuge changes have been slight. = A storm of slight intensity occupies the middle Mississippi valley, and the barom- eter is high over the lake region and on the south Atlantic, coast. This distribution of pressure gives southerly winds to the south and northerly winds*to the north of the Ohio river, and the meeting of these warm southerly and cool northerly winds is one of the visible causes of rain. The winds in the middle Atlantic states will shift from southerly to northerly, with rain, this evening, ané the warm period which began yesterday will end. In this immediate section rain and cooler weather may be expected. Condition of the Water.

I am sure you will closely fol- low events and see things as they are meant and interpret them by the light of the words which fel from the emperor's lips yesterday evening—that this is an en- terprise and work of peace and civiliza- tion.” The representatives of the press greeted the concluding words of Dr. Hamann’s lit- tle speech with enthusiastic cheers. The Prinz Waldemar then started for Holtenau, passing through the lines of war- ships, which were dressed with a multitude of flags, presenting a magnificent spectacle. The press boat finally anchered opposite the sluice gates at Holtenau, in order to await the coming of the emperor.

Drummond, Camden :ron works, Chattanooga Foundry Company and Warren Foundry Company. The bids will be scheduled: and contracts awarded during the week. - Bids were opened by the Commissioners this afternoon for hauling material. There was but one bidder—Wm. E. Chaffee. Haul- ing sand—In Washington, 45 cents; on Georgetown, 53 cents, and in the county, 32 cents per cubic yard. For Lauling vitri- fied brick, per thousand—Weshington, $1. Georgetown, $1.75; county, $1.65. For haul- ing ordinary paving brick—Washington, $1.45; Georgetown, $1.70, and county, $1.65 per thousand. Cleaning the Avenue. After a thorough undestanding as to what the Commissioners expected and would in- sist upon with reference to the cleaning of Pennsylvania avenue, the Commissioners this afternoon awarded the contract for the work to Wm. Ryan at $21.50 per day. The Camp Expenses. The first controller rendered an opinion to the Commissioners today relative to the expenses. incurred after the end of the fiscal year for the camp of instruction of the National Guard? The question present- ed was whether the expenses incident to this camp of instruction may be properly paid from the current appropriation if the employment of men engaged in breaking up the camp be extended beyond the pres- ent fiscal year. 4 The controller holds that as the expenses referred to are not made in pursuance 6f a contract entered into during the year and will not be incurred dyring that year, they are not properly payable from the appro- priation. i —__ For Cheaper Vegetables, « To the Editor of The Eyening Star: ‘Truck-farm prodyets are too dear for many people in the city, the poor espe- cially, to buy. large quantities; were they obtainable cheaper ‘far more would be con- sumed. Washington fs full of boarding houses, the rates of which could be re- duced were farm and dairy products cheap- er. In towns of the south everybody, no atter how poor, cultivates a garden “patch,” realizing therefrom extravagant quantities of best vegetables at almost no cost, and observation of the unfortunate condition of city people when contrasted with that of rural and town southern peo- ple inspired the following idea: It is unnecessary that truck-farm prod- ucts be unobtainable by city people of lim- ited means creeper and in-larger quanti- ties. Suppose people of moderate means, as proprietors of small boarding houses, trades pecple, ete., clubbed together by tens, thirties or fifties, rented and culti- vated good truck farms near Washington— two present items in cost of vegetables would be annihilated, the producer’s and the retailer’s profits. < E. B. A POLICY OF DELAY Program of the Sound Money Democrats for This Year. Not Undertaking to Write Next Year's Platform Now—Only a Negative Victory Expected. The program of the sound money demo- crats for this year appears now to be clearly defined. * The policy is one of delay. It is an appeal to conservatism. It Is all comprehended in one brief admonition: Don’t hurry ti¥ls money question. The Argument Uscg. Unlike the silver men, the sound money men are not undertaking to write this year a platform for next year. They are not disposed to cross any bridges until they come to them. The demand of the silver men is that the party be committed now and for good to free coinage at 16 to 1, with the distinct understanding that next year’s campaign shall be conducted on that issue. To this the sound money democrats ufficient unto the year is the ¢ thereof. This is not the year for writing a presidential platform. This is an off year, when state issues in States where there are elections to be held should be strictly attended to. Meanwhile, the last democratic national platform is good and binding, and if there is a consuming pas- sion to dip into national matters out of season, reaffirm that. We are not under- taking to say what theeparty should or should not do a year hence. We have no cast-iron rule to lay down for a situation Which no man today can safely forecast. Next year, when the proper time comes, we'll meet you and have it out in vi fashion.” stor Wait for Republican Action. This program, it is observed, takes into consideration and makes full allowance for the fact that before the times comes for action next year the republicans will have returned to power in Congress and been obliged to wrestle ia some form with the Money question. A point so important ought not, the sound money democrats con- tend, be overlooked or neglected in a game whose fsults will be so momentous. What will the republicans in Congress do? They are divided as to silver coinage. They are certain not to vote for free cionage, but what will they do under the pressure of the occasion to hold their silver contingent in line? The sound money democrats think their party, as a party, ought to wait and be instructed somewhat by that. They are not holding out the promise of voting them- selves for free coinage. They are not to be understood as waiting for the republicans to act, with the view of*raising them out if free coinage should be necessary and sufficient to sweep the board. The conten- tion is that free coinage will not be offered by either party, and that the democrats consequently should wait and avail them- selves of the advantage of any blunders and embarrassments falling to the repub- licans by reason of their coming into legis- lative power and responsibility. Only a Negative Victory Expected. The sound money democrats, therefore, if for any victory at all, are booked only for a negative victory this year. The reaffir- mation of the Chicago platform of 1892 by the democratic state conventions ining the wagon st. Kentucky and Ohio will, if the action is taken, throw but little light on what the democratic national platform of next year will contain on the .silver question. At most, it is thought, it will merely insure that unadulterated free coinage will not be in it. But that, the gound money demo- crats feel, will be a score worth making, ‘| and particularly as it will also extend by twelve months the campaign of educatidn, which, during the short time of its exist- ence, has been so fruitful of good argu- ments and recruits. If the progress al- ready recorded in the south can be kept up; if localities where until a very recent date not a democratic voice for sound money ever was raised are now vocal in advo- cacy of the cause, what is to prevent a complete change of democratic sentiment on the subject before the time for holding the next democratic national convention? And so the friends of the administration will be content for the present merely with preventing the making of the presidential issue a year in advance. They will submit their own proposition later, and, as they promise, in due season. +--+ _______ GENERAL NEWS NOTES. The American Scciety of Civil Engineers formally opened its twenty-seventh annual convention at Hull, Mass., yesterday, with about 500 members and invited guests in attendance. The convention will continue until Saturday. The west and southwest are largely represented.

Fire broke out in the hold of the steamer Yumiri, from Havana, Tuesday night when off Cape Henry. Capt. Hansen ordered the hatches closed. Chief Engineer Ritchie turned the fire hose into the burning hold. Much excitement prevailed among the pas- sengers. Perfect discipline was maintained, ‘The fire was confined ’entirely to this part of the ship, although the vessel was en- veloped in smoke. It is estimated that the extent of the damage will reach $25,000. MISSIONARY WORK | Munipulation Expected at the Cleve- land Convention. MANY CANDIDATES T0 BE BOOMED All Will Be Represented by Shrewd Lieutenants. MKINLEY’S BENEDICTION A great deal of missionary work in the interest of the different presidential candi- dates has beer. cut out for execution at the league meeting at Cleveland. The occasion is most propitious. No question either of policy or propriety is involved. The propo- sition 1s in no sense similar to that relat- ing to silver, for however unwise and in- appropriate it may be for anybody to try and have the league express itself as to silver, there can be no valid objection to the putting in of a gocd werd here and there on the part of an ardent admirer for this or that presidential candidate. And especially as all the candidates are repre- sented, and by min of enterprise ang ex- perience. Nobody's claims, therefore, wi be neglected, and the only question is as to whcse claims will be by good manage- ment and diligence the most advanced. A Sort of a Love Feast. The meeting, indeed, when fully consid- ered, would appear to serve this purpose above every other. It is designed to be a sort of love feast. Republicans every- where are feeling pretty well, and the young men particularly see golden hours ahead. The clubs gre composed principally of young men—workers full of activity and inquiry—whom it is highly important for party “managers booming and grooming presidential candidates to know. Clubs from the west can be told about the can- didates from the east, and the clubs from the east something more than they already know about the candidates from the west. Then confidences can be exchanged about the second place on the ticket, and what shall be done in case this or that man gets first place. Nor will this information come to anybody any too soon. Under the un- usual conditions existing this time, the presidential race has already begun, and whatever may be necessary to be done either east or west toward strengthening any man’s candidacy cannot be done too quickly. The earliest bird may catch the club. Precisely how the leading managers now at Cleveland stand on this question is in doubt. Some men recently accredited to one candidate are now accredited to an- other, and growing out of, this may be mistakes abott the meanin& of the ma- neuvers of the old campaigners. But that New England will boom Reed; Shio, Mc- Kinley; Indiana, Harrison; New York, Morton, and Iowa, Allison, Is, of course, easily taken for granted, and that eac man’s strength and deserts will be drawn in glowing colors for the benefit of the clubs living at a distance from him is en- tirely beyond any sort of doubt. Gov. McKinley's Benediction. Gov. McKinley -will be the only one of the leading candidates present at the meet- ing, and he will not arrive until the last day. While there is no charge made of prearrangement, with the view of pro- dueing:-a theatrical effect, it is yet noted that the circumstances will favor scene of unusual enthusiasm when the governor arrives. A clash of dates obliges him to appear also i: Kansas this week, where a meeting of old soldiers will await him. He will keep that engagement, and then stepping abeard a special train wili start, with the track cleared in his honor, for Cleveland. The league will have transacted all its busi- ness, elected its new. officers, and be await- ing a sort of benediction before adjourning finally. It will devolve upon Gov. McKinley to pronounce this, and he will come upon the platform for the purpose, travel-stained from his long journey, but cager to do henor to the state’s guests. Here will arise the opportunity of the McKinleyites, and that they will improve it with a shout drowning all other shouts is an easy guess. The whole meeting indeed will be brought to its feet for the moment, in compliment not only to the governor of the state, but to ore who has come so far and so fast in compliment to the league. It will be a great moment in McKinley's life, and may- be a greater one in his presidential for- tunea The effect produced will be princi- pally. on young men, in the plastic stage of Pclitical existence, and when they are just ‘on the eve of separating for their homes. The great McKinley demonstration, there- fore, will be the last strong impression they will receive from the meeting, and it may influence them in their work between now and next year, after they return to their own bailiwicks. ——__ Boyens Not Arrested. The report received at police headquar- ters yesterday by Inspector Hollinberger that Eugene Boyens and Miss Ida Lewis and William Lewis had been arrested in New York seems to have been without fourdation. The telegram, as printed in yesterday’s Star, was received from John C. Robertson, one of the alleged victims, who is in Richmond, and it is thought thet he was imposed upon by some practical joker. Soon after this telegram “was re- ceived Inspector Hollinberger telegraphed the New York authorities, and received the response that there was no truth in the report. ————— He Was Bitien. Poundmaster Einstein and his assistants are waging war on the unlicensed cunines that are roaming about the streets, and are moking early morning trips, in order to get the stray ones that go out on foraging ex- peditions for their breakfast. This morn- ted out at daybreak, and twenty-four dogs were captured. The last one was a vicious setter dog, and while Joe Burrill, one of the poundmaster’s as- sistants, was taking the animal from the net he was bitten about the arm and pain- fully wounded. Me went to the Emergency Hospital, where the wounds were dressed. eS Over the Fence. A postal card bearing the signature, “Mrs. Nelson,” requesting that $3 worth of lumber be sent to 711 G street north- west, and that charge for a $20 note be sent with it, was received at Jackson & Brother's lumber mill, on Ohio avenue, yes- terday. The lumber ordered was put on the wagon, and the $17 change was handed to the driver. When the G street house was reached a colored man met the driv and inquired if that was Mrs. Nelson’ lumber, and got the $17 in change. in the house, as the driver supposed, to get the $20 dill, but he remained so long that the driver became suspicious, and went to the door to make some inquiries. Much to his surprise, he found that the house was vacant, and the colored man, with the $17, had probably gone over the back fence. ———.—__ A Long Journey.
