MILWAUKEE, Jan. 2, 1872, Tne Grand Duke Alexis haa a tremendously en- thusiastic reception upon his arrival here in Mil- waukee this evening, for nearly a month the citi- zens had been full of wntictpations and preparations for nia coming, and when the impertal lion actually made his advent among them thetr joy and enthusiasm kuew no bounds of restraint. The welcome awarded was, however, only one of those characteristic of the noble and hospitable people of the Great Northwest, The distinguished visitor has had out tew receptions since he came to this country equal to the one here in Wisconsin, and it is in keeping with truth to say that even the imposing demonstrations in New York, Boston and other Eastern cities did not surpass the one here to-night im splendor and enthusiasm. The whole day and evening has been a continued ovation tn honor of the Duke all the way rom here to Chicago. When he leit the latter city this afternoon his departure attracted avout as much attention as bis arrival, and along the route between the two cities were successive demonstrations of the most hearty de- scription, Flags wore dying at many of the sta- tions, salutes were fred and the citizens of the arious cities and towns were gathered by uou- sands to see aud cheer tie Russian visitor as he passed by. SAFE ARRIVAL IN MILWAUKEE=GRAND OVATION, The tramarrived here at avout five o’elock and there Were not less than twenty thousand people assem. vied tu and around the West Water strevt station. A military egcort and a band of music added pomp and splendor to the display, and the scems, when the Duke stepped from the train, may well be de- scribed as one of very hearty enthusiasm. Amou, the thousands assembled were very many 0! the Duke’s own countrymen, and the cheers aud shouts of welcome, given in ther native tongue, were very pleasing and aifecting to the imperial guests. Tho party took carriages and drove irimediately to thew apartments at the Plan- keton House. The distance was half a mile or over and the streets trom beginning to end were one mass of humanity. Darkness had just shrouded the city, a7] BERGS AFTER THE PIGLON SHOOTERS x ’ ‘i Two Pigeons Killed to Provoke an Arrest, but Mr. Bergh Contents Himself with Making Threats. “JSANUAKY BracH—What wre the atakes?

Mr. Bergh stalked into the midst of the gentlemen, and seemed disappotnted at the slim attendance on the ground; but he said nothing for some minutes. We do aot know how jong he would have kept silent had not Mr, Parks, Sr., the President of tho Long Island Shooting Club, brought him to his speech by ad- dressing him in the following manner:— Mr, PARKS—Mv.

The scene around the hotel when the imperial carriage arrived was very lively and exciting. If there were 20,00) people at the depot there were not fess than 69,000 assembled in Spring s.reet, Oppo. site the Plaukinton, The fair sex were out in larger numbers than the mascu- nes, and the femme eagerness to get ® glimpse of a Russian naval officer was by lar the mest couspicuous. The military escort had to fairly push the crowd vack at the point of the bayonet to make a passage way for the Duke to gain acess to his reception room, Not only the streets, but the hotel and ail its halls and cor brs were as full of humanity as “an cae, is full of meat,” and the stentorian voices and the mammoth clubs of the police were as nothing compared to their desire to see and cheer Alexis, Only the sharp pointed bayonets of the bold Wisconsin Volunteers we: fectual, and even these were resisted tor a while, Finally just the smailest crevice in the wocid was opened, and the hero of the day followed in the wake a Com- mittee of Escort to his rooms. The scene at this particular moment was exceedingly lively and exciting; the crowd outside cheered and the crowd inside cheered, and the bunting and elaborate decorat.ons which «depended from every niche, corner and wail of the lower story of the Plankinton seemed to wave tn unison Witu the thunderipgs of applause, The Duke acknowledged all these compliments in his {ree and graceiul stple, and in ascending the staircase paused almost involuntarily to witness the elaborate decorations of the hotel, which had been prepared ta hoaor of his visit. Wherever he gazed the edifice Was most gorgevusly festooned, and here and there were numerous mottoes of wel- come, in & language which few but hitaself and bis immediate party could fully comprehend. SPEECHK3 OF GOVERNOR WASHBURN AND THE MAYOR. The guests were met in the hotel by a committee of Milwaukee citizens, headed by Governor Wash- burn and Mayor Ludington, and upon the Duke being introduced the customary formal speeches of welcome were made, ‘the Mayor, as the represen- tative of thecily, lead off first, and if he said what he intended to he toid his Imperial Highness that he heard he was a mighty nice fellow and that he could have the freedom of Milwaukee as loag he cared toremain here. The Duke couidn’t help smiling at the rough but hearty welcome, and he simply said that he had no doubt his visit here would be a Pleasant one. When it came to his turn Governor Washburn said that he had only been Governor about twenty-four hours, and he feit it @ great pleasure and privilege to Know that al- Most his first act was to welcome to the State the son of the Russian Emperor, The Grand Duke thanked the Governor fer the kindly manner in which hte had been received by himself and the peo- ie of Wisconsin, and concluded by assuring His Exceilency that of all the welcomes extended him since he left his native clime none had caused more romans gratitude than the one he mad met at the ands of the people of Wisconsin.

The trap was sprung aud a pigeon soon knocked over, One of Bergh's men then ran argl picked up the bird, which was suill alive, and brought it to Mr. Bergh, who held it in bis hand several minutes, while several of the gentlemen present begged him to give it to them so that they might put tout of its misery. Some of them berated him severely for his cruelty to animals, Bergh would not give up the bird, but continued to expatiate on the barbarily of the shooting, when bang went Paine’s gumagain, and down came the other pigeon, which was also se- cured by Bergh's henchmen, Then Ira Paine put up his gan and awatted the arrest, us he expected nothing cise than imearcera- tion ina Westchester jail, and subsequently a legal test ou the criminality of pigeon snooting, Mr. Bergh, instead of ordering Ira into custody, toid his officers to disperse the crowd, which, by this time, had augmented to vearly filty by the acquisition of some forty stable boys, who were attracted thither by the unusual manner in which business was being conducted, The oMcers made a charge on the boys and drove them before them outof the flela, The gentlemen, however, doubted Mr. Bergh’'s author- ily to drive them off their own grounds, and re- mained where they were to discuss the unsettled supject of pigeon shooting. Just at this moment Mr. Staples stopped out in front of Mr. Bergh and discharged his gun, begging Mr. Bergh not to ve wlarmed, that te did not fntend to hurt him, Mr, Bexrau—You probably would ttke to take my life? Mr. Svarhes: worth It. A gentleman present then told Mr. Bergh that in England the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals never interfered with the sporting clubs tn the United Kingdom, and that the Prince of Wales was the president of the most popular shooting ‘club in England, At this remark Mr, Borgh seemed to fly tuto a stilt greater passion, and he denounced the Prince of Wales as “the greatest blackguard in England.” He iurther said that he had been lately in corre. spondence with the Engitsh Society for the 'reven- ton of Cruelty to Antmals, and he was proud to say that the killing of pigeons and other birds for amuse- ment and practice was now betng «iacontinued. Mr. Bergh said there was no reason or necessity for Kill- Ing birds to practice shooting; that a target could be put up, or an object resembling a bird could be thrown in the air to be fired at; butit was a cruel, barbarous and blackguard act to kill pigeons or any other of God's creatures for amusement. Mr. Bergh seemed to be very ill-natured, stating that he was sick and ought to be tn bed instead of out there in the cold wind; but when asked why he had not gone to bed instead of comiug out thero and meddling with matters that did not concern him he waxed wrathy, and declared lis latention of following pigeon shooters wherever they made their appearance, and would arrest aad punish all who violated the iaws. Some one then tutimated that there was no lawto prohibit pigeon shooting, and told Mr. Bergh if there was he would be obliged to him to show ft. Another gentleman asked lim what he intended to do about the killing of the two pigeons before his eyes—whether he meant to arrest Ira Paine and test the question before the covrts; but his replies were evasive. “He knew his business, and {t was none of theirs what he intended to do’?
