d i PART ONE. THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE. IABLISHED lUlg DID HERSELE PROUD New York Oity fends Thousands to the White Oity by the Lake. MANHATTAN DAY DREW LARGE CI0WD3 All Day Long & Multitude Streamed Through the Gates, PLEASING AND APPROPRIATE EXERCISES Distinguished Orators from the Empira State Hold Forth with Eloquence, 1T WAS ONLY EXCEEDED BY CHICAGO DAY Greetings from the East to the West—In- oldents Which Helpad to Make the EDny Pass Quickly—Splendid Scenes at Night. Cuicago, Oct 21.—Across the allezed chasm, that never in reality existed, New York and Chicago clasped hands today and the masters of the land of Columbus united their energies in making the Manhattan celebration at the World's fair a triumph. Forty thousand New Yorkers had come 1,000 miles to Jjom in the cele- bration, -and they, with the western throngs, made the day one that will be a feature in the annals of the Columbian exposition. Early this morning the east- eruers gave evidence of the success which they were to scoro. On the lawn was ereoted a reviewing stand from which the guests of honor reviewed the parade. As soon s the gates were open the sightscers began to arrive in crowds, and all day long the weary gatckeepers twisted the turn- stiles around and around, swelling the ad- missions to a handsome figure. Buffalo BIll Opens the Ball, Buffalo Bill's Wild West show opened the ball at 10 o'clock, when it entered the grounds in its wild glory. The Chicago hussars, under command of Captain Brand, made o splendid showing, and the County Democracy’s marching club was a magnifi- cent sight. Thenc ame the famous Oid Guard, with its bright uniforms and tower- ing shakos, escorted by the First regiment, Tllinois National guards. Shortly after 1 o'clock the parade again formed and began its triumphal march through the grounds. Before going to Festival hall the speakers, the distinguished guests and the Old Guard were entertained with luncheon by the state commissions. After the parade and the luncheon the principle exercises of the day were held at Festival hall. An immense audience was present to greet the various speakers. Scenes at Night. Groat as the day was the evening was greater. Toward nightfall additional crowds began to pour into the parik, de- termined 10 seo the illumination which had been provided for. From every nook and corner blazed gleaming lights of many hues. The New York state building was all aflame. An elaborate display of fireworks had been vropared and the pyrotechnic dis- play was equal to any uhat has yet been scen at the fair. The procession of floats used on Chicagoday wended its way before the white buildings, ending its journey at the lake front, where the fireworks werc displayed. The crush at this place was terrible, the thousands on the grounds all endeavoring to reach a place of vantage from which they could see the display. Several people were slightly hurt in the Jam, but no serious casualties were reported. “ Among-the principal features of the fire- works were an aerial wonder, produced by the flight of 100 15-inch shells fired by elec- tricity, forming a perfect umbrella in every color of the rambow; Bartholdi's great statue of “Liberty Enlightening the World,” 60x20 feet; discharge of three mammoth 60- inch bombs; each bomb weighed 100 pounds and contained 15,000 stars, the largest ever colossal fire portrait of Mayor Gilroy of New York. Besides these were sent up untold numbers of varicolored bombs and rockets of the most elaborate description. Glorious Weather. Fortune smiled on New York's patron saint today, dealing out as bright and glowing a bit of autumn weather for Man- hattan day as even the most critical could desire, and the estimable knickerbock- ered old gentieman took his place in the World’s fair history with colors flyiog. Fully 75,000 New Yorkers were on the grounds, and they, with the ex-New Yorkers who are to be found 1 Chicago and the west and the usual contingent of people who are attracted by big occasions, swelled the ad- missions to a figure that placed Manhattan day in the front rank of the gala days at the fair. For woeks the New York committee of 250 has been arranging for today. The transportation for the expected crowds had been looked after, excursion rates had been provided and everything possible was done to make the duy a suceess, Thursday Mayor Gilroy with his private socretary, W.

When Mayor Harrison came forward at the conclusion of Dr. Brown's prayer to make the address of welcome he was re- coived with great applause,in which the New Yorkers led. Mayor Harrison spoke of the great success of the fair and declared that much of it was due to the collective and_individual efforts of the sons of New York, whose genius was exemplified inevery portion and ail departments of the exposi- tion. The home of the state of New York on the grounds had always been the scene of the most generous hospitality and it was one of the most popular resorts within the ex- position gates. The mayor then alluded pleasantly to the good foeling existiug be- tween the two great cities of the western world and closed with a warm encomium on the wealth and worth of the Empire state. Response by Mayor Gllroy. Mayor Gilroy received an oven moro flat- tering welcome than Mayor Harrison, as he stepped forward to respond to the aadress of welcomo in the following words: “It is with a feeling of profound pleasure that I reciprocate the greetings of May Harrison, and express the gratitude of all New Yorkers at the kind manner in which they were conveyed. Although a New Yorker of New York, I cannot help express- ing the belief that it would be difficult, if not impossible for New York or, any other city on the globe to have excecded the mag- nificence of this fair. It is not alone Chi- cago that is to be congratulated; but indeea tho the whole civilized world, of which the great exposition is but an epitome. We take pride as New Yorkers in being a portion of that great country, the genius of which has made such an_exhibition possible. No one who has visited the great White City can ever forget it, and the spectacle of the court of honor, illummated with electric lights, with its fountains playing and surrounded by buildings of superb architectural con- struction, is a dream of beaut, “There is one’ sad reflection connected with the White City, and that is that within a few weeks or months all of these magnif- icent_specimens of architectural art, to- gether with all that they contain of human greatness and civilization, shall have passed away. 1cannot help but think that any out- lay, however great, that would tend to pre- serve these magrificent bulldings in mon- umental marble would be an expenditure for which the country would be repaid an hun- drea fold in the liberal education which our people would receive in visiting them, and in the expansion of mind and elevation of thought which they would evolve. We have here the best efforts of mankind from all portions of the globe. Architec- ture n its grandest forms,. the marvelous possibilities of electrical science as shown by the human voice, transmitted s04s to be heard upon a ray of electric light: the beautiful and astonishing pro- ductions of manufactures and the liberal arts; machine power which challenges the aamiration of mankind; the bast products of the fruits of the earth; in fact, this great exposition, with all its wealth of products of civilization and progress, closes an era and marks an epoch. It is the transfiguration of man’s industry and man’s effort. It is a subject to which it would be impossible for me to do justice. 1t is only fitting that I should pay this passing tribute to its greatness and its grandeur.” florace Porter's Tribute, General Horace Porter of New York, chairman of the citizens’ executive com- mittee at the World’s fair, then stepped for- ward ana delivered the following address, which was frequently interrupted by cheers from those who were near enough to hear him, and cheers from those further back who yelled because they thought he had snid something good which they could not hear. $ in ancient times, all roads led to Rome,” said General Porter, ‘so at the present time all roads lead to Chicago. To- day the city of the scaboard comes to lay its wribute of admiration aud respect at the city of the luke side, Therefore in what 1 shall have to say, my story will be a *Tule of Two Cittes.” “Wnen Menhattan day was dosignated and consccrated asa day on which New York was to offer its testimovial of appreci- ation to the great exposition, her citizens arose enmasse to make their pilgrimago to the fair. T'he numbegs that have come have been limited only by the Jimit of transpor- tation. $ ““We haye come to unite with ypu in the elebration of four centuries of history.

When the committee comploted its sittings today thirty-seven democratic senators had pledged themselves to support the mcasure pre- pared, and the managers felt assured when the senate adjourned today of a sufficient number to bring the list up to forty-one, leaving only two men necessary to insure the passage of the bill. The various senators who are holding out agamst the bill are said tobe Messrs. Mills aud Vilas of the repeal side and Mr, Irby of the silver side. There are senators absent from the cil Messr Daniel and White of California, for instance, upon whose support of the bill they have no doubt. There are others who have not actually attached their names to the pledge, but upon whom the count of the managers is made, and they further expect to secure the names of all the democratic senators and will then rush the bill through as a party measure and without calling upou the repub- licans for aid. Situation of the Republicaus. Most of the republicans hope the demo- crats will succeed in this accomplishment, for the bill is one which does not commend itself to either the repealor the silver fac- tion. The repeal men are pleased only with the clause to limit the silver purchase to a year, while the silver men find in this reason 1o hope for a further extension of silver pur- chases, and think it better than uncondi- tional repeal in all its provisions, except that proposing a time for coining the pur- chases of silver bullion, and although it pro- vides for an increased use of silver as mon this is by no means what they have desired, The committee recommendation will be put in the shape of an amendment to the Voorhees bill and will probably receive the support of most of the silver republicans as an amendment, while the bill will, as amended, be opposed by them. There isa probability against the passage of the bill. While the silver men will vote for the amendment and against the bill, the ultra repeal men will vote against the amenament and for the bill. The majority of the ultra repeal republicans would probudly accept the bill if it had & bond provision and on account of its omission may oppose it asa party. Democratic Unity Assured. It seems more than probable that the democrats will get the concurrence of their entire party in the senate; the republicuns will make no effort at united action. The silver men, if all parties are pleased, will ac- cept the bill. The silver men made a strong effort to extend the Sherman bill to the next congressional election, but found it im- possible to secure approval for a date later than that mentioned. In fact, this date, October, 1804, is a compromise within a com- promise. July 1, 1804, and January 1, 1895, having been suggested. It is understood that the Treasury depart- ment took the position that it would be im- possible to preserve the gold and silver parity without bonds 1f the Sherman law should remain in force more than a year longer. It was this argument that induced the silver men to yield as they did to an ex- tension until January 1, 1895, As at present arranged, the bill will expire in the midst of the next congressional election, and it is going to be hard to keep it out of the campaign. As it is, there will probably be an effort to amend the amend- ment by tho increase of the purchasing time a year, und the silver men think it possible they may gain the republican support to put this through, but all circumstances con- sidered. this is hardly probable, No Intention of Giving Up, One of the advantages which the silver men find in the committee's amendment to the original bill is that it gives them ground to stand on while the silver fight shall be waged in the future, They say the silver fight has in reality only begun; that the present bill is only a stipulation for a brief time and that it will be prosecuted vigor- ously in the regular session. PEFFER HAS € UDED, iis Long Siiver Speech In the Senate at Lust Ended. WASHINGTO! Oct. 21.—Twenty minutes were used this morning when the senate ro- assembled after its recess in securing a quorum, During muchof this wait Senators Gorman, Hill and Voorhees were holding a consultation, When the forty-third senator was secured, Mr, Peffer, populist, of Kansas resumed his speech against the repeal bill, Mr. Teller of the committee on judiciary reported favorably the house joint resolu- tion providing for the disposition of certain personal property, amounting to about $300,- 000 inthe hands of the receiver of the Church of Jesus Christof Latter Day Saints, and authorizing its application to the char- itable purposes of the church. Afteran amegdment had been adopted, specifying more particularly the uses to which the money and property should be applied, the resolution was passed, Mr. Peffer then resumed and finished his speech at 1:15. Mr. Jounes Kesumes His Talk, Mr. Jones of Nevada resumed his argu- went agaivst the repeal bill. He saia if he was asked to explain in a siogle sentence what the hard times meant, he would say falling prices. That meant voluntary a siguments, putting numerous people in in- sane asylums, poor houses and prisons, fur- ther exactions from debtors and general discouragemeni toall. But the worst effect of falling prices was upon the laborers,whom it deprived of employment. Mr. Jones argued at great length that the volume of money should lncrease at the ex- isting proportion to the increase of pobula- tion, Hedeniea that the value of money 1893—SIXTEEN (PAGES. was dependent now, as Mr, Sherman argued, upon the quality, not upon the quantity. He said that the Unitel Stalds had reached a maximum in the productiam of silver, and there was no foundation fqr'the belief that with free coinage the United ‘Stares would be flooded with silver. To show the absurd- y of the argument, inequility was neces- sary togive valus to momey. Mr. Jones asked could there be any doubt if the United States demonetized: gold and issued $500,- 000.000 of legal tendér money, and this sum was required to psefotm the entire systom, which is now performed by $1,500,000,000, that cach legal tender 81 bill would be three times as valuable as one gold dollar was at the present time. Asked to Yiald the Floor. At this time Mr. Vobrhees asked whether it would bo ugreeable to Mr. Jones to yleld in his argument, sayifg he understood that the sentator did not expect to conclude this evening. Mr. Jones replied he could not conclude for two or three days and would be very glud to yield at this time. Before Mr. Voorhieas made the motion he intended he gave way to Mr. Harris of Ten- nessee who rose to ' statement in the na- ture of a question of priviloge. Referring to an article in a nowspaper, Mr. Hurrls said: “One clause of the report ot an interview with me rendered the construction possible that I had indulged i the languege of o threat as to the vice president in tho event he should rule in & given way upon a given question. Tho interview puts me in tho absurd and brutal light of de- claring that the vice president would be Killed in his seat if he dared rule in a given way upon a question. 1 simply desire to say that no cenclusion could be more absurd and antrue than such a_conistruction put on any language used by me to reporters or other people. The contests hereare contests of reason, not of the prize ring, not of brutal force. 1 simply desire to disclaim utterly the brutality attributed to me. Iam happy to be able to say that the relations between the vice president and myself, both personnl and ofticial, have been of the kindest char- acter from the beginning of our acquaint- ance down to the present time.” Mr. Voorhees then' moved an executive session, after which the senate, at 3:45 p. m., took a recess until Monday at 10 a. m. IN THE HOUSE. Discusslons 'tl(e Up a Large Part of the Yune. WasHiNgToN, Oct. 21:~Mr. Pendleton withdrew the McGarrahan bill, there being no quorum present, vhus saving it from being put to the foot of tie calendar. Abill todivide the Esstern judicial dis- tricts of Michigan into northern and south- ern divisions was passed, and an interesting discussion of the financial condition of the treasury and the country followed. Mr. MeMillin said it was no longer possible to ignore the financial straits in which the treasury was. The treagyry was ruaning be- hind more every month. {1t had paid out on the sinking fund for some time, and it was no secret that the treasury had been driven to the uscof o portion of the $100,000.000 re- serve maintained to rbdeem outstavding greenbacks to meet currehit expenses.

Why There Is & Deficiency. Mr. Dingley of Maine insisted the reason for the failure of the revenues had not been stated truthfully, They were sufficient under the administration of the previous year to meet ull the demands made by the “extravagant legislation,” to which Mr. Me- Millin had adverted. The revenucs, in his opinion, had fallen off on account of the gen- and inaustrial condition of the The deficit had already reachea 220,000,000 and would reach £50,000,000 by July 1. 1804 He maintained that there was absolutely no authority for the secre- tary of the treasury to draw on the gold reserve fund to meet current expenses, and be warned the house that 1t was a danger- ous precedent which yogld lead to trouble. If the secretary had authority to issue bonds it would restore confidence. A biil to construct a revenue cutter for the groat lakes to replace the Andy John- son, which has boen domg servico on Lake Michigan for thirty years, led to furthor financial discussion, but the morning hour expired before action was had. ‘The house then resumed consideration of the printing bill, which was completed, and, as amended, it was reported to the house. On the passage of the bill the vote stood 71 08, Mr. Beltzhoover made the point of no quorum and the ayes and nayes were or- dered. It resulted 133 to 8, No quorum. Thereupon at 3:05 the house adjourned. Aol X el il INTERRUPIED 1HE PLEASURE, Festivitios in Paris Punctuated by a Manlac's Wild Revolver Practice, Panis, Oct. 21.—The outrageous conduct of a supposed waniac has disturbed the peace- ful program of the Russian visit and has cast a damper over the festivities. Early this morning, as the Russians were returning to the Military club aftera whole day of en- Jjoymeat, & man who was in the crowd watch- ing the Russian ofticers ‘enter the club, sud- denly drewa revolver and fired into the throngs of people asserbled ou the Place de I'Opera. The shot ‘cahsed a panic, for it was believed that ope of the Russians had been shot, in fact, the report spread that an attempt had been m,du upon the life of Ad- miral Avellan by a 'German fanatic, This report, however, is wnl"um foundation. “The man who fized the ghot into the crowd was promptly seized by citizens and handed over to the police,Avho Imndu a rush in force to the scene of the digturbance. The pris- oner, & mau about 50 years of age, was taken into the Military elub where he gave the name of Willis, and when questioned as to his motive in shooting said he suffered the utmost misery and become sick at see- ing the huge sums squandered upon foreig: ers, while many thousands of Frenchmen in Paris alone were suffo for want of a loaf of bread to give to thejr starving families. Willis further said _that he wished to pro- test against such am outrage and ne thought the best way to do so was to attract atien- tion to this willful waste of money. The Russian officérs have reccived the czar's orders not 1o dance until after the funeral of Marshal MacMahon, and in con- sequence the Russians merely walked through the gaily decorated saloons of the Hotel de Ville lase night, where they were the guests of the municipality. Financial MacMahon's Funeral, Pawis, Oct, 21.—The village of Mount Cresson was crowded today with thousands of people from France to see the opening ceremony of the funeral of Marshal Mac- Mahon, duke of Magenta and ex-president of France, Among the messages of sympathy received by the fawliy was one from the ex- Empress Frederick of Germany.

Uinue 1o Parls, LCopyrighted 1893 by James Qordon Bennett.] Pants, Oct. 2L.—(New York Herald Cable —Spe to Tie Bre.)—The Russian fetes are assuming an unexpected character, owing to the importance given to the obse- quies of Marshal MacMahon,which,owing to the expressed wish of the czar, who desired to give anothei proof of the Fravco-Russian relations, requested that they should take place in Paris during the visit of tho officers of his navy to this city, The other powers, however, wished to prevent the fetes from assumiug this aspect, and they will, therefore, send military delegations to represent them at the marshal's funeral, thus at the same time paying homage to France. We shall accordingly see tomorrow be- hind the coftin of the general who was de- feated at Sedan those who were the victors on the ficll. The Italians will ba vhere alzo, and so, too, will be the English, and thus these obsequies will be one of those great politico-military manifestations such as Berlin has often witnessed. Has Brought Honor to France. Nothing could have better demonstrated the importance of the visit of the Russian naval officers, as, these fetes given in their honor have sufficed to restore France to the rank which she had lost among the great powers of Europe the tone of even the German and English press has been more friendly since they have become convinced of the absolute pacific character of the fetes, and the sending of a wreath for MacMahon’s coftin by Emperior William has produced a good effect on the masses here in Paris. In the midst of the great bursy of enthusiam Italian and German uniforms can pass in the procession without any danger of insult. All theso facts and manifestations seem to assure Europe of a long period of peace. Just now, however, it is impossible here in Paris to talk politics “to the diplomats or the ministers, who are exclusively pre- ocoupied with the Russian fetes, butac- cording to advices received from other European capitals the pessimist impression which recently prevailed has disappeared. 1t is understood everywhere that the Franco- Russian understanding is a pacific one. There Are Some Sore Henrts, The gala performance at the opera, which has been postponed to Tuesday, is causmg great excitement among Parisians on ac- count of the way the invitations have been distributed. There were only 1,800 seats at the disposal of the committee and they re- cewved 9,000 applications for them. The same vhing may be said of the carousal, for which 20,000 applications were made, while the places only number 2,200. For the banquet to be given on Monday there were 85,000 re- quests for tickets, and the tables can ouly accommodate 3,000 persons. All those who made these apolications had a right of some kind or other to expect to be Invited, and accordingly each refusal had made an enemy of those who had the dispensing of this favor. The desire to meet the Russian ofti- 's has extended throughout Parisian soci- and this is not surprising, for the Rus- slans are charming fellows who speak French fluently ana who are anxious to en- joy themselves. JAcQues St. CERE, ROYALTY GATHERING AT DRESDE Jubliee of the King of Saxony to Be Cele- brated with Great Pomp, BeruiN, Oct, 21.—Thero promises to be a notable gathering at Dresden at the opening celebration of the jubilee of the king of Saxony. The fetes will extend for several days and Emperor Wilham and the arch- duke of Austria will be among those present at the ceremonies, A deputation of officers and men of the Third regiment of Austrian dragoons, of which King Albort is honorary colone!, has arrived av Dresden, commissioned to present the congratulations of their regiment on the jubilee of the king of Saxony, The delega- tion of Austrian dragoons, it is expected, will be joined today by Field Marshal Count Belikan, Colonel Count Auersberg, Captain Count Thurne and three oficers, who were in.J 1866 appointed atiendants on the crown prince.

Regaraing the army bills, the Prussian minister of finance, Dr. Miquel, the author of graduated ncome tax, is perfecting his scheme for abolishing altogether the exist- ing tax and to reduce by the same amount, namely, 45 marks per 100 kilograms, the duty on imported tobacco. In place of these taxes Dr. Miquel proposes to introduce a system of graduated taxation on all manu- factured forms of tobacco intended for con- sumption within the empire. This system will be calculated upon the value of raw material 1n the production, the idea bemng to throw the chiet burden of the tax on the better class of consumers, and the decrease of consumption will be averted. The foreign office at Berlin is closely watching the outcome of the interchange of all notes now passing between the Bulga- rian and Greek governments regarding the possibly hasty action of the Bulgarian po- lice, who fired on the crew of a Greek vessel in tho Danube.

The captain of the Girecl vessel, 1t appears, was endeavor- ing to land on the Bulgarian shore when he was challenged by the sergeant referred to, who asked him if he had a sani- tary agent on ‘board. Not . receiv- ing any reply, the sergeant ordered the Groek vessel o proceed to the lszaretto ut Widenin, The captain of the vessel did not undevstand, for he con- tinued to approach the shore, whick caused the sergeant to fire his rifie in the air. The Greek captain then tried to land on another point, and at this time the Bulgarian fived at him, wounding him 1n the arm. The Greeks then jumped iato the ship's boat and rowed over to the Roumunian shoro, ‘The Greek government has made a de- mand for indemnity for the wounding of the captain and also asks for the punishment of the sergeant. The Bulgarian government, aftor investigating the matter, dechned co pay the indemnity in demand. The result wus that the Greek agent atsSofia applied to the Russian minister at Bucl , who has charge of the interests of Greece in Rou- mania and a most interesting series of diplomatic negotiations is in progress.

It appears that Frau Ceviha Feldmann was arraigned in company with @ prominent Dusseldorf mer- chant named Joseph Hemmerling, charged with misappropriation of half the property of her husband. It seems that Frau Feldmnan was to be theadministratrix of the estate of her husband, who was con- fined in an asylum for the insane at Graft- burg in 1884, and that his estate once amounted to 1,000,000 marks, Frau Feld- mann bases her defense on the law of the state of New York, which, she claims, en- titles her to half her husband's propert; Frau Feldmann, it appears, was on intimate terms of friendship with the Dusseldorf merchant, Hemmerling, and his wife, to whom, in 1888, sue transferred full powers to administer the estate of her husband. Herr Hemmerling admits having received 400,000 marks, which he de- clares he disposed of according to Frau Felamann’s instructions and explained that her friendship was merely neighborly.

Peixoto has vetoed a bill which was intended to curtail expenditures of public funds. He considered that this would have been too much of & check on him.
