VIENNA. CONTINUED FROM NINTH PAGE. ‘of Berlin. Compared with Central Park the Prater is less picturesque, being flat, although pleasantly diversified by wood and meadow— just now, it is true, beautifully fresh and green. The Bois de Boulogne is likewise more picturesque, but the Prater avenue is a finer drive, With the Berlin Thiergarten there are few points of comparison. The Thiergarten is a large forest, a solitude just outside the Linden and the Brandenburg gate, thatcan be reached from the centre of the city within five minutes, while the Prater COMBINES BOTH FOREST AND MEADOW, ‘but lacks the quiet majesty that is connected with the Thiergarten. True, the Thiergarten has nothing better than the muddy Spree in the shape of river, but the Prater is washed by the “‘beautifal blue Danube,’ which, by + the way, is gray or lead-color, I hardly know which. The parkis selected on all occasions by the Viennese for their great festivals. 4 MAGNIFICENT FESTIVAL was held there in 1854, on the occasion of the Emperor's marriage. In 1868 the Third National German Federal Schittzenfest was held there. The present Emperor, after visiting the Paris in 1867, determined, after he re- turned home, to beautify his Prater, and the model he had in mind was the Bois de Bou- logne. His plans have not yet all been com- pleted ; but THE VIENNESE BOAST that when the park shall be finished it will be the finest and most picturesque pleasure ground in the world. But the natural beau- ties of Prater forest and meadow should not sttract our attention longer from the won- drous creation of art that has risen in the midst of the Park— “THE GLORIOUS TEMPLE OF THE WORLD'S PROGRESS.’' No wonder, indeed, the Viennese feel proud of their achievement. XATES CORRECTS YATES. Here, while speaking retrospectively, let me make an amende honorable to America. In my description of President Grant's inauguration for the Hznatp I painted glowingly the festive appearance presented by European capitals on gala days. Any one who had read that pic- ture and who happened to be present here to-day would have thonght my real name was Ananias, The houses of Vienna are bare as fobins, There are no flags on the roof-tops or across the streets, no Venetian masts with fiying streamers, no draped balconies and no ftiumphal arch until we have reached THE SOUTH, OR MAIN ENTRANCE. The crowd here is rapidly increasing. It surges, hums and babbles noisily ‘round the entrance. The Austrian officials wre phlegmatic under even the most trying circumstances, and all the order needed is pre- served. Satisfying all the formalities of these grave guardians of the gates, I enter the en- closure. THE GROUNDS. The Exposition building stands in a large enclosed space of the Prater, five times as large as the Champ de Mars, on which the Paris Exposition stood. On the space from the entrance to the building six fountains send up large jets of water. Tastefully ar- ranged lawns and flower beds greet the eye. To the left is a long row of low buildings con- nected with the Director General’s Bureaux ; to the right a similar row, for the police, &. To the left, further west, the Jury Pavilion ; to the right is the beautiful Imperial Pavilion. ‘Wherever the eye is directed are PAVILIONS AND ORNAMENTAL STRUCTURES. Wandering amid the trees of the spacious grounds one is met by constant surprises. We enter a veritable fairy land, although it must be admitted that imagination has to complete ®ome of the structures, even though it is the first of May. Fantastically variegated struc- tures, with cupolas and minarets, take us in Spirit to the Orient and to the hieroglyphic enchantment of the Nile, to the peasant huts Of Alsace and Lorraine, to the plains of Hun- @ary, to the steppes of Russia and to the schoolhouses and wigwams of America. ALL PEOPLE AND RELIGIONS can find their places of worship in this Prater world. A Greek chapel, a Buddhist temple, a Roumanian church and the Turkish minaret, may all invite the faithfal to prayer before entering the sanctuary of industry and art. 4 HUGE SHIP'S RIGGING, to the east, is the signboard of the pavilion belonging to the Austrian Lloyds. If youcould climb it the vessels of this company could be counted by the dozens on the Danube, not far @istant, To the left, the building erected by the Hunatp of Vienna, the Neue Freie Presse, attracts universal attention for its solidity and wslaptability of construction. But as to-day is to be devoted to the Rotunda, let us enter the: building.

In the same manner they hid the empty courts with crimson screens, thus giving matters a festive appearance, and by noon next day everything was ship-shape, Vienna must follow this ex- ample. THE BROOM TRIUMPHS. It has been followed, and, what is more, it has succeeded au miracle, The world’s ex- hibition is an accomplished fact with the story of the opening once told. IN THE VAST ROTUNDA. I take my position under the dome, of which let it suffice for me to say that it is an enormous structure and twice the size of its prototype, the dome of St. Peter's at Rome. Beneath this dome, in the centre, is a raised circular garden, with green turf, rhododen- drons and a fountain. Other objects, wanting in anything like taste, are rather advertise- ments for the exhibitors than any ornament to the Rotunda, The only artistic feature is & gracefal statue of AUSTRIA WELCOMING THE WORLD. There are also twin figures of Austria and Hungary. The one is armed with a spear and the other is leaning on a shield. Opposite the south portal is - 4 RAISED DAIS, covered with deep crimson cloth, on which are placed some eighty chairs. To the left are the seats appropriated to the ladiés of the Diplomatic Corps. To the right are the chairs for the Emperor's special gueste. The exhibitors, the friends of the Imperial Com- mission, the newspaper correspondents, are gathered at special places railed off, with the central point free. To reproduce the coup @eil you may IMAGINE THE VAST AMPHITHEATRE FILLED with every variety, male and female, of respect- ably dressed humanity, the gentlemen in swallow-tails and white cravata. Fortunately, Austria is a military nation, and this dreary funereal monotony is dashed with splendid points and splashes of brilliant color in the greatest variety. A STRONG SEASONING OF SALT. Here were to be seen the true salt of the eerth; their High Mightinesses and their Serene ‘Transparancies, all blazing with orders and radiant with bright ribbons; here wis a perfect kaleidoscope of warriors of Austria, Hungary and Bohemia, of all ages and grades; veterans who had served with Radetzky, beardless youngsters, whiskered pandours and fierce hussars; men who would willingly sacri- fice the flattering prospects of an era of peace for the chance to retrieve Sadowa, THE ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR AND HIS LADY. Precisely at the hour of noon the grand col- lective orchestra and the choirs massed in the colonade burst forth into a mighty sound, and the strains of the national anthem swelled on the air. The Emperor was at the entrance of the building! The Emperor and Empress Elizabeth alighted before the south portal from the State carriage, drawn by six horses. Drawn up before the portal stood, in full Field Marshal's uniform, the Archduke Charles Louis, the patron of the Exhibition, and the Baron Schwarz, its President, the latter of whom presented the Emperor with a bouquet. 4 CROWD OF BIG BUGS. Following the Emperor and his wife came ] tween two kindred and proud nations, and accepted Opinion of General Van Buren. It is believed at the State Department, from the tenor of Minister Jay’s despatches by cable, that the opinion held of Chief Commissioner Van Buren, that he was the instrument ef the two incriminat- ed deputies in their schemes of speculation will have to be so far altered as to regard him, to a cer- tain extent, as an accomplice. Just how far this relationship between the chief and subordin- ates can be traced will not be known till the full report by mail arrives, and that report is anxiously awaited, Pendingits disclosures the Secretary ‘will only commit himself to the admission that it is @ very bad business, of which nothing can be definitely said except that no blame attaches to the Department of State, WEATHER REPORT. + War DEPARTMENT, OPFicE OF THE CnIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, WASHINGTON, May 2—1 A.

Dr. ADAMS responded to the first toast, whicn was as follows:—“Commerce, the Great Dissemina- tor of Christian Civilization.” He supposed the con- verse of this was equi true, that Christian civili- zation was the great disseminator of commerce. The very A ees 18 oftife word was indicative of dissemination. en Christianity began to pre- pare for its dissemination, then, what strange changes were apparent in the international rela- tions on the face of the earth! So it has be- come by ta that there is a liberality in the pur- suits of commerce, and by this international enter- course there was promoted a great ligature of moral interdependence. In Larhagtist a! the Cus- tom House he spoke merely of the fact that it was the place where the merchandise of the world passed through, and not of the Castom Rouse, as it ‘was a succession of “‘man-traps.”” (Loud cheers and laughter.) When would the merchants of this great metropolis spring to their feet and protest against the government interference by which the principles of equity were entirely put aside? (Cheers.) Commerce taught the true unity and brotherhood of man, INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE. WILitaM M. Evarts peepee to the following toast—‘‘International Commerce—it promotes peace, discourages war, destroys national preju- dices and brings within the reach of all the prod- ucts of every climate.” He said that one tithe of the energy mant: d by a few merchants in dis- guise, who threw the tea over in Boston harbor, would succeed in throwing over the abuses from the ship of State. (Cheers.) He then contrasted the international commerce of peace with the compact of kings and the entente cordiale of nations, and showed how greatly commerce was superior to the iatter accidental arrangements. It was American com- merce that suffered violence during our civil war, that furnished the occasion and the means for the consideration of the healing of estrangements be- arbitration as the means of settlement for their great controversies. eeeenee a hee eee: Ke this ae e epportunity of asking Mr. George e to introduce two distinguished pica soa REPRESENTATIVES FROM JAPAN, the Japanese Consul to this city and M.

GREAT CHEERING FOR THE BOYS. ‘There was tremendous cheering as the royal party entered. The Emperor of Austria led the Princess of Prussia; the second couple were the Prince Imperial of Prussia and the Empress of Austria, and the third the Prince of Wales and the Crown Princess of Denmark. These were followed in their order by the Crown Prince of Denmark, the Count of Flanders, and Prince Arthur of England, each with a lady on his arm. Then came a few other couples of the imperial family, followed by group of other distinguished visitors. THE ROYAL TOGGERY. In the front row of the dais were twelve per- sonsin all, most of whom were those named above, Three other rows behind were also filled.

The men who established this Chamber did exert an infinence in the enactment of laws that affected commeffe. In the place of those men there were merchants who, like Stewarts, Claflina, Chittendens, had their agents ali over the world, The changes that had come over the Chamber had come over the city of New York itself.

The proceedings were wnusually harmonious, as will appear from the report. At eight o’clock Mr. Chandler, Chairman, called the committee to order, when Mr. Haswell moved that the calling of the- roll be dispensed with. After the minutes had been read by the Secretary, Major Quincy, the Treasurer reported the receipts since last meeting to be $1,125. .

Later Mr. Chandler an- nounced that Mr. Gilson resigned his place on the committee in favor of John J. Gorman. ‘The com- mittee of nine were unanimously approved. The committe adjourned after being in session less than half an hour. TEN-HOUR STRIKE IN PROVIDENCE. Apprehensious of a Breach of the Peace. PROVIDENCE, R. I., May 1, 1873, To-day was the time fixed by the members of the Ten-Hour Association fer a strike in all the cotton and woollen mills in the State heretofore working sixty-two anda half to sixty-six hours per weck. Consequently, in a considerable number of the mills most of the operatives left work at six o’clock this evening instead of remaining until half-past six or seven o'clock, as the regular time might be. Some of the mills lost so few hands that the ma- chinery did not stop. In the Delaine mill, at Olney- ville, most of the help remained at work, anda noisy crowd from the other mills and outsiders assembied and looked on and groaned. The police from this city and North Providence were sum- moned, but no serious acts of violence were com- mitted. Some apprehension is felt for to-mor- row at that point, as the English ringleaders are gathered there, and some military precaution to —, a breach of the peace is contemplated. In Woonsocket there waggsome noisy bat harmless demonstration, the help faving nearly all the large mills. The owners have adopted no concerted lan of action. The woollen manufacturers would ike @ general Rete of work. It is probable that the cotton mills will shut down temporarily if there is trouble in getting help to run on the pres- sent basis. The difficulty is not generally regarded as serious by the manufacturers, THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION, Points To Be Visited and Routes To Be Taken During the Trip West and South, WASHINGTON, May 1, 1873. There being some misapprehension regarding the proposed Congressional Convention at St. Louis, it is assumed by some persons that only the Southern and Western members are to be invited, while the fact is that all the Senators and mem- bers of Congress are invited, irrespective of sec- tion. The excursion train will leave St. Louis, via the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, on the morning of May 16, ee over the iron and coal regions of Missouri, through tae Indian Nation to Vineta, the crossing point of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail - road with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rail- road, and by that road to Dennisom, Texas; thence by the Honsten and Texas Central Ratiroaa to Houston, and, alter a tew hours at Houston, by the Houston and Galveston and Henderson Ratlroad to Galveston. The return will be by the same route to Vineta, thence via the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad; through Kansas and Missouri to Sedalia, via the Pacitic Railread of Missouri.

Nothing has been heard of either Lieuten- ant Arthur Cranston or Sergeant Selig or Pri- vate Bloom, and it is presumed they must have been killed. Sergeant Selig and Private Bloom were last seen running in the direction of the centre of the lava beds, right into the savages’ den. MODOC REJOICING OVER THE MASSACRE. On Sunday night the Indians had a large fire built and danced around it for some time. THE WARM SPRING INDIANS. Donald McKay and his Warm Spring Indians were of little assistance, as our troops became so demoralized that they opened fire on them, mistaking them for Modocs, and finally forced them to retire, THE BODIES OF THE DEAD AND WOUNDED were not recovered until about ten A. M. on Sunday morning, and then the ground was so rough it took all day to bring them back in camp. Our mules are all more or less down with ‘ THE EPIZOOTY. It was also necessary to remain until dark in order to avoid the Modocs, who were still skirmishing among the rocks seeking for vic- tims, The Indians had completely surrounded our troops before they opened fire, and when THE MEN BROKE AND TOOK TO FLIGHT many of them ran right into the jaws of death. A number of small breastworks were found near the dead and dying that had evi- dently been put up by our men as a protec- tion against the fire of the enemy, but as many were found shot through the back, it was plainly evident they were surrounded on all sides. SOLDIERS FAITHFUL TO DEATH. Four men were found lying around the dead body of Lieutenant Wright, two of whom were dead and the others badly wounded. Major Thomas and Lieutenant Howe lay among a group of eleven others, six of whom were dead. Some of those still alive are very badly wounded, having been shot in two or three places, STRENGTH OF THE ATTACKING PARTY. From all accounts it appears they were attacked by about thirty-five Modocs, which it is supposed is the full strength of the enemy. ABMS AND AMMUNITION. They cannot now be in want of arms or ammunition, as our men lost fourteen guns and about two thousand rounds left on the field. Last night they had six fires burning, ex- tending from near the foot of the lava butte to the centre of the lava bed. Eight of the killed were buried on the battle-field, Lieutenant Taylor of the Fourth Artillery left this morning for Yreka with the bodies of Captain Evan Thomas, Lieu- tenant Abion Howe, and Lieutenant Thomas F. Wright. THE WOUNDED are doing well. The body of Lieutenant Sherwood, killed under a white flag on April 11, has also been sent to Yreka, en route for the East. . Lieutenant Harris was shot through the shoulder, the ball ranging down. It was cut out a little above the breast. Surgeon Semig was shot through the shoulder and foot. Both are doing well and will recover. Some of THE BODIES WERE BADLY MUTILATED and had the feet and hands cut off. There are, as far as yet discovered, twenty-one killed, eighteen wounded and six missing. There is little hope that the missing have escaped. General Davis, General Hardie, Captain Sumner, Captain Lydecker and Chaplain Ray- nor will be in camg to-morrow night. The Bodies of the Dead Officers Lying in State—Military Consolidation=—No Ag- gressive Movement at Present. Yauxa, Oal., May 1, 1873. The bodies of Captain Thomas, Fourth ar- tillery; Lieutenant Albion Howe, Fourth ar- tillery; Lieutenant Thomas J. Wricht, Twelfth charge of Lieutenant Taylor, of the Fourth az- tillery, who will escort them to San Franefseo, leaving to-morrow morning. The bodies are laid in state in the Masonic Hall thig after. noon, and were viewed by a number of the citizens, who are much excited over the re- cent disaster. CONSOLIDATION OF TROOPS. Batteries A and K of the Fourth artillery have been consolidated under the command’ of Lieutenant Leary, and Companies G and-B of the Twelfth infantry have also united, under the command of Lieutenant Camp, NO AGGRESSIVE MOVEMENT against the Modocs will be made for some days, as General Davis does not intend making a move until thoroughly prepared. The General left for the lava beds to-day. The News at the War Department. WASHINGTON, May 1, 1873, The military authorities are without additional advices from the Modoc expedition. Nothing has been done after the telegraphic consultation with President Grant and Secretary Belknap with regard to conducting the operations against the Modocs farther than to leave the matter to the judgment of the Commander of the Department of the Pacifie, who has better means to judge of the situation than the Washington authorities, He has power to employ additional troops if in his opinion this shall be necessary. Contradictory Reports from Oregon, SAN FRANCISCO, May 1, 1873, A despatch from Portland this afternoon denies the truth of former reports of the threatening con- duct ofthe Indians im Eastern Oregon and south- ern portion of Washington Territory, and says the Indians remain peaceably on the reservations, A later despatch from Portland says the report that the settlers at Yokima, in Washington Terri tory, have been warned by the Indians to leave the country is finally confirmed, but that the authori. ties think the trouble exaggerated.
