NEW YORK CITY INVADED failors and Marines from the War Vessels Parade Her Btreets, CAPTURED BY THE FOREIGN VISITORS | in Many Years un Armed ¥ of Another Nation Marches Throngh Gotham ¥ Appenrance of the Tars, New York, April 28 ~Remarkablo as was yesterday'sgatheringof foreign men-of-war our harbor to participate in the naval revie still more remarkable the spectacle pre sented today. The uniformed forces of for- | eign nations and accoutred as for battle marched in our stre Yesterday th smiled through toars. Today the smile was still ther the tears had vanished, Strains of martial music filled the place vacated by the pande- monfum of ear-splitting whistles and the thunderous roar of death-dealing dogs of war. It was as though a gigantic n; 1 power had descended on . our ce- ful shores, visi thereon its wrath in a bombardment of shot and shell, a capitulation, and then the lanaing of the victorious naval forces and a march through our thoroughfa And there was more | truth than imagination i the simile, for | Manhattan isle was as completely occupied | by a naval force as though attained by con- ques! its but Received with Tnstead of tattered flags of battle,how they bore the olive branch and, marching in line with our state troops, were greeted with cheers and shouts of welcome as they marched through a solid wall of human beings. Not since New York ad Acclaim, pver, the British has such an been witnessed here, and in no country but ours is such an occurrence possible. ‘With muskets at their shoulders and small arms by their sides, the foreigners invaded our soil today, and marched down America's greatest street —Broadway. rim, fierce looking Russiuns, sturdy Britons, ruddy- faced Germans, trim, quick-moving French men and dark visaged Italians marched in file after file with their own officers com- manding, and with their own bands playing the airs that they love best. But they were not our captives, though our marmes and blue jackets preceded them and our national guardsmen followed in their re The arts of peace had superseded the strategy of war ana the med forces of nine nations marched in our streets as though our coun- t were one and they and we ‘were brothers, It Delighted the Jolly Tars. The first suggestion that our visitors be fnvited to land their men and take part ina land p de was declared by the big wigs of our navy to be out of the question. It was not until President Cleveland took the mat- ter tn hand that the forcign admirals were asked if they would land their men. The heart with which nearly all of the foreign oMcers accepted the invitation when it was extended indicated the good will ex- isting between their governments and ours and dispelled all doubts as to the possibility of having the foreigners take part in a demonstration on shore. Ten o'clock was the hour for forming the line, and the formation was on Forty-second street from the West Shore ferry, extending toward Sixth avenue. Several platoons of police were on hand to keep back. the wds of sight seers who had .assembled, and there was considerable dificulty in maintaining the lines, so eager were the crowds to have a close look b the swarthy tars of other na- tions. Every armory in the city was as busy as a bechive early this morning. The national guardsmen gave a final burnish to their arms, a final rub to buttons, chevrons and ~epaulets, and then fell in at the word of command. The whole of the first brigade and the naval reserve had been ordered out. Tho latter had been on duty on the water cesterday, where their evolutions were imited to the narrow decks of tugs. Today they made a better showing on parade, and, besides, they had the naval militia of Massa- chusetts as their guests. Along the Line of March. The proceedings today were managed bf; General Louis Fitzgerald of the New Yorl State National Guard and Commander J. W. Miller of the naval reserve, acting under the direction of Admiral Gherardi and the com- mittee of 100 citizens appointed by the mayor., Reviewing stands had been erected by the commission at Madison square and atb the city hall park. From th the admirals and officers of the river and other invited guests witnessed the rade. Hundreds of private stands had R:en erected along Broadw I"ifth avenue and Forty-second streat, and-windows, bal- confes and roofs along the route were util- ized by the crowds who filled every place which commanded a view of the column. The decorations along the line of march ‘were not expensive owing to the storm inter- foring with the work of trimming the buila- ings. West Forty-second street presented the gayest appearance, Nearly every house was festooned with bunting. Just west of Sixth avenue a big American fiag was hung across the street, At Madison square nearly every large building was draped with the stars and stripes and the emblems of the visitors who took part in the parade. At the corner of Fifth avenue and Washington square a handsome display of flags was made. Along Broadway the principal busi- ness houses were brilliant with color and the classic front of the city hall was covered with banners, bunting aund streamers, evacuated occurrence At the ilead Rode Flower, Governor Flower rode at the head of the procession. A platoon of mounted police cleared the way. ‘The governor was followed by details from the United States army and the engineer corps. ‘I'hen came the rals in carriages. The foreigners were es- corted by officers of our own navy. Following the carriages came the first di- vision, consisting of United States sailors and marines. Commander White was chief of brigade, and Captain Spicer commander of the marines. hese were from the Charleston, Chicago, Yorktown, Concord and Philadelpnia, marching in the order named and resplendent in their showy dress umform. They were led by the marine band. In the second and third and fourth battal- ions were Uncle Sam’s blue jackets from all of the ships iu port, The second div terested the crowd: ion was the one that in- on the streets more than any other. It contained the sailors of the visiting fleet and the marines of Great | Britain and Holland, the only two nations represented except our own who have ma- rines. First came the troops of her majes There were, officers and men, 630 all Captain Hamilton of the Blake was in charge of the battalion. The British marines were resplendent in red juckets, blue trousers with a narrow red stripe down the side, and black helmets topped with gilt. The band fr the Blake led them. The British men Wore k jackets, blue trousers with a wide stripe down the side, and little caps with yellow band, with a band under the chin. Her majesty blue jackets wore the regulation blue sailor shirt, open low at the neck, blue trousers, very tight at the hips and vecy wide at the ankle, with light straw hats. " ‘I'he Britons marched with precision and looked neither | to the right nor the left. They were cheered a8 thoy passed the reviewing stands and whenever they wheeled to turn a corner, Following the British came Argeutine's representatives from the Neuve de Julio, ‘They wero less than 100 in numbe= and ‘wore dark blue shirts, with braid on the collars and blue trousers. The ofticers wore long | blue coats, bluo trousers and caps with long frout vieces. Russians Marched With Fixed Bayonets. The Russian vessels sent 330 wen and fif- toen oflicers. ‘The battalion was in charge of | ler Stomm and was in three com- 'Danies. The band from the Rynda rendered the music.

There was a collation a the city hall and the junior officers of the ships were entertained at the Waldorf. The militia swung out of column at the postofice and went up Park row a short dis- tance and disbanded. The naval contingent went down Broadway to the Battery, where they embarked for their ships. Cleveland Hurt His Hend, President Cleveland did not assist at the review. He drove to the stand, but the parade was late and ne was compelled to take the train for Chicago before the head of the column reached the stand. In getting into his carriage at the hotel to drive to the reviewing stand the president struck his against the carriage door, abraising the n the forchead. A doctor at the hotel dressed the wound and after a delay of ten minutes the president proceeded. NATIONAL LEAGUE GAMES, Massachu- Philadelphia Easlly Takes the First Away from Brooklyn. PHILADELPIIA, Pa., April 28, —Eight thou- sand, one hundred and forty-two persons saw Philadelphia defeat Brooklyn in the opening game of the season today. There was no street parade, but the clubs marched across the field behind a band and the spec- 3 cheered.

In accordance with previous promises the first steps in the construction of the Ne- braska Central railroad wore taken yester- day morning when a good sized grading outfit began tearing up the ground just south of Center street. This is the section of the road that is to constitute the belt line around the city and to South Omaha, The engineering force has already staked out and cross-sectioned the en- tire line from the poor farm south, and the right of way has been secured. The Nebraska Ceutral company has also purchased land and begun the ac- quirement of property for depot grounds, and work near Jeflerson square has already been begun. The west approach to the bridge crosses the Union Pacific yards over- head, and the east end of the depot grounds will be graded up so as to be twenty feet above the present grade. This earth will be held in position by a retaining wall, and it is on the excavation for the foundation for that wall that work hus been commenced. Th rangement was made so as to not interfere with the Union Pacific or any other road and ve all the tracks and improvemeats of the raska Central on the surface. ‘The new road runs from the west end of the bridge to kleventh and Cass as an ele- vated road, but at that point the fill begins, and Cass street will be graded up twenty feet. Tne fill runs out at Fifteenth and « , where the depot will be located, the | difference between the present grade of Cass street at Eleventh and Fifteenth streets being nineteen feet. This leaves the depot Jjust at the present grade, fronting on Jeffer- are, centrally located, easy of access 1t to the business portion of the In speaking of the plans of the company yesterday, President Dumont said that another object of filling up the property vhere and putting in a retaining wall was to :conomize room, as property in that location The wall will be built around the entire eastern portion of the grounds from Thirteenth and Chicago to Fourteenth and California. The road comes into the depot as above stated and will go out the same way as far as Twelfth and Cass. ‘This takes it back to the elevated portion, aud permits the building of an elevated road from a pointon Twelfth near Cass north and west, It will be extended from ihere in two branches. One will extend to connect with the otherroads north of Grace street, being elevated until after it passes Nicholas. The other branch crosses the Elkkhorn yards overhead, aud remaius up urtil it reaches a point south of Cuming and west of Twenty- fourth, where it drops and passes into the tunnel which takes it under the west Farnam residence district. It emerges again about Fortieth and Leavenworth, and con- tinues on the surface to South Omaha, .The grading south of Center street will be pushed, and work on the retaining wall will dly forward from this time. The first ating for the wall is to be done at a point north of Cass and east of Twelfth. The construction will involve an expenditure by the time it s completed of 50,000, Preparations are also beiug made to begin the construction of the 100 miles into lowa. This line will go to Webster City, where 1t connects with the Illinois Centrygl twenty miles east of Fort Dodge. That ’s regarded as the key to the situation, and work on that part of the road will be pushed faster than any other. A portion of the right of way along that line has already been secured and the remainder of 1t is being looked after at the present time.

STILL CUTTING AND SLASHING. Western Passenger Rates in a Falr Way to Be Sadly Demoralized Soon. Cuicaao, 11, April 25.—~The Denver & Rio Grande gave western passenger rates an- other cut today and has announced the fol- lowing round-trip rates: Denver to Chicago, $40; Denver to St. Louis, #32; Denver to points on the Missouri river west of St. Pouls: 0. These rates were a surprise to railroad men, as nothing haa veen done by them to meet the cut from $49 to $45 by the Rio Grande some days ago, and the last move is o much like fighting the air that passenger men do not know what to make of it, unless it is an attempt to force a firht upon the Atchison road. The reduction will be good over the Rock Island and the Burlington, the Missouri Pacific having rotested against the tariff being over ts lines. The Atchison will not be long in coming back, and s soon as 1t is re- leased from its contract with the Western Passenger associution will announce a through rate from Denver to Chicago, re- duced in the same percentage as the rate announced today by the Denver & Rio Grande, This will make a round-trip rate of $13.80 from Kansas City to Chicago. Commencing tomorrow morning, the Atch- ison will dip into the Colorado fight for blood, and will make the rate from Denver to Pueblo and all intermediate points $1. Between any of these points and Aspen the rate will be $1. The tickets will read second-class over the Colorado Midland and first-olass between Denver and Pueblo, These rates will probably stir up the fight in Colorado to the boiling point. The gen- eral impression now is that as long as the Atchison road is held by its contract to the ‘Western Passenger association the Denver & Rio Grande will continue to stir up trouble, but as soon as the Atchison is free to fight as it chooses the row will be over. May Build at Albright. A rumor is afloat that the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway intends to build several repair shops on their land in South Omaha (Albright annex) in a fow months from now, which matter has been contem- plated for some tune, but is still kept quiet. Although it will be a moderate plant at first it will give work to quite a number of people. Earnlugs of the Burlington. Cuicago, 111, April The total net earn- ings of the Burlington for March, 1893, were $301,784, against $363,158 far the same period last year, a decrease of $61,874. For the first three months of this year the decrease in earnings, compared ~with the first three months of last vear, was §27,991. R - That cure of George W.

Commissioners Discover a Crimo at County Hospital, The county commissioners paid a visit to the county hospital Thursday evening in com- pany with Dr. L'ilton of the insane commis- sion and Assistant County Attorney Troupe There were called there by a report that Mary Ferguson, a woman ih the insane ward, was in a delicate condition for which an employe at the hospital was responsible. Before starting they examined the county records and learued that there was a woman at the hospital by the name of Mar; Ferguson, that she was 80 years of age, that she came from lIowa some years ago and upon reaching this city entered a aisoraerly house on Ninth street, where she remained until last April, at which time a complaint was filed charging her with insanity. At that time she was taken to the county juil and on April 7, 1892, declared insane by the commission, She w immediately taken to the hospi nd has been an inmate of the institution ever since. An effort was made to bave her confined in the state hospital for insane women, but owing to its crowded con- dition she was not accepted. With this information in their posses- sion the gentlemen went to the hos- pital, where, after making an examination, Dr. Tilden stated that the report concerning the woman's condition was true. The commissioners expect to fasten the crime, but they are not very hopeful, owing tothe fact that from the time when the hospital was wrecked by the winda year agoand untila few weeksagoallof the insane patients, both male und female, were allowed to spend their days inthe south corridor and mingle together as they saw fit. This massing of the two sexes was compulsor account of there not being room to sepa them and give them separate quarters. —~ AMUSERENTS, “The Ogalallus” at the Boyd. “The Ogalallas; an American opera. Music by Henry Waller. Story by Young Allison,” That is the significant style on the title page of the lmu? of the opera pre- sented for the first time in Omaha last even- ing by the Bostonians. The work is one of more than average merit; asone telling an American story, treated by an American author and an American composer, presented by a company of American artists, it is an especially notable opus, the production of which is full of prophecy of the day when a natfonal art yet latest shall become patent and a cause of pride to all good Americans. It is a privilege to praise such a work. ho Ogalallas” is infinitely supe musically, to _either of the other two oper presented by the Bostonians in Omaha this season, It claims rank with the works of izet and Planguette. or even Ambroise Thomas. Mr. Waller aims higher. His work has crudities, no positive faults, but the numberof its excellences far exceeds that of its weaknesses. Especially strong is it in the recitative passages, but its arias are hardly I dmirabl Pressure on space in this issue precludes detailed demon- stration of 1ts best features. A fine individ uality permeates the work. Mr. Waller is evidently a student of the masters’ methods, but never a copyist of their measures. The is literary to a degree, a matter of course with everygthing above Mr. Allison's name, A new star swam into_the theater goer's ken last evening. Miss Bertha Waltzinger sang her first big part. Miss D'Arville's indisposition was Miss Waltzinger's oppor- tunity, and she acquitted hevself in n manner demonstrating her claim to bigh rank as a soprano. The part of Edith is a trying one, calling for the best abilities and Miss Walt zinger met them almost perfectly The other meuibers of the company tained their reputations, Mr. MacDonald raising his considerably. Mr, Karl failed to reach his part musically, his performance being much below his old-time standard, but Deadshot is no Robin Hood. The opera was beautifully set. The chorus work was excellent he orchestra played its score thoroughly well. but the composer's intent would have been more fully expressed had the local orchest which is quite on a level with the company musicians, been engaged for the evening. The ambitions of Mr. Waller's orchestration wero uot at all times adequately served The *‘remnant” who can appreciate earnest strivings after the best musical ideals owe a debt of gratitude to the Bostonians for their production of ‘“The Ogalallas,” and were it substituted for “Robin Hood" this evenin, surely few, if any, who have engaged and paid for their seats to hear Do Koven's work, would demand their money back. or, sus.
