The line of march was densely crowded, thousands of visitor's having eome'in on‘early morn- ing trains. As soon -as the.parade was over the .crowds scattered to different places, where literary and musical exer- cises were to be held; and each place was thronged by an enthusiastic and sym- pathetic audience.

Then hail it and cheer it o'er and o'er, The glorious flag of the forty-four. Dvorak’s cantata, “The American Flag,” was well rendered to a packed audience at Hazard’s Pavilion by acborus of 200 voices and an orchestra of sixty pieces, the soloists being well-known local singers. The finale to the programme was “‘America,” sung by a chorus and the audience, filling the large payilion with a burst of patriotic music, fitly ending the ’s celebration. he children’s meeting, presided over by Mrs. Alice Moore McCormack, was held at 4 o’clock at the Congregational church. It had an interesting and instructive pro- gramme well rendered. The afternoon was quiet as the fore- noon was noisy, the trains running every half hour to seaside resorts, carrying thousands to the shore. | The cantata was repeated to-night, pack- | ing the house to the doors. The day was a perfect one and, notwith- | standing the strict police regulations re- | garding bombs and firecrackers, young | America has had a glorious day of if.

Stockton Delightfully Entertains Thou- sands of Visitors. STOCKTON, CaL., July 1.—Stockton has been crowded with strangers since early morning, and all day the streets have been filled. To-night there are fully 10,000 peo- ple about the shores of McLeods L and the celebration to-day is one that will live long in the memory of all who were in Stockton to-day. Stocktonians are nothing if not hospitable, and those who came here to witness to-day’s festivities have had a royal time. After the parade in the morning came the regatta on the channel, which was wit- nessed by several thousand people, who lined the banks and secured every water craft that could be had for love or money. Governor Budd acted as reieree, and used his own launch as the judges’ boat, The various tugs were prettily decked with bunting and filled with sightseers. A number of launches that had come up from Belvedere to participate in the car- nival of the lake to-night were to be seen moving about among the hundreds of S, d small boats that ie course. The catamaran Polliwog | bad on board about 100 of the fashionables of the City, all attired in white, the girls in lawns and muslins and the men in white | duck yachting costumes. | The races were called promptly at 10 | o’clock, the first being the junior barge race. In this, but two crews came to the | scrateh, those of the Ariel and South End | rowing clubs of San Francisco. THhe for- s made up of J. J. Nolan, bow, Pembroke, forward wa aist; W. T.

Chapman, after wai H. Van Meter, forward waist; C. B. Hart, stroke | and captair William Dolan, coxswain. The Stockton men shot ahead at the re- port of the pistol and set a hot pace. The South Ends were quick to respond, and it was anybody’'s race to the turn. The South Ends rounded first, with the Stock- | tons close behind and the Pioneers a_good third. The South Ends’ weight told in the homeward pull, and they came in a winner by several boat lengths, the Stocktons a good second, and the Pioneers so far be- hind that they pulied to the boathouse without crossing the line. Time, 10:10. In the senior shell race all but Frank Duplissea of the South Ends and H. Witt- kopp of the Ariels were scratched. The race was all Duplissea’s, who won as he liked in I1:14.

Hundreds of small boats, decked with colored lan- terns, flitted about over the waters, while the barges and floats presented a brilliant spectacle. The barge of the Queen sur- passed all expectations. The electrical effects were beautiful in the extreme. That on which Columbia was seated was the | next feature of the parade on the water. | The Queen’s barge surpassed that used at the Santa Cruz carnival according to the | statementsof those who saw the pageant on the water there. All of the streets leading to the lake were strung for blocks with Chinede lan- terns and behind all of the trees that border on the water colored lights were burned, and the effect was striking. There were hundreds of launches and small craft | day, and hundreds of people came in from the country and neighboring towns to witness the display. T%e orator of the day was ex-Congressman Thomas J. Clunie of San Francisco, a former resident here, whose address was able, eloquent and patriotic. Miss Virna Woods was the poetess.. A pretty picture of the %amde was the turnout o¥the Capital City Wheel- men, with bicycles beautifully decorated. There were many young lady riders of wheels, some of whom were awarded prizes. Altogether the celebration was one of the best ever witnessed in this city. The open-air concert and fireworks that were to have concluded the day’s celebra- tion had to be postponed on account of a light drizzle of rain that has been falling for some hours. This was the first time rain had fallen here on the Fourth in nine- teen years. The highest temperature to- day was but 74. But one accident has been reported and no fires, although everybody has been vigorously celebrating the day. SANTA BARBARA LET LOOSE. The Day Signalized by a Varied and Entertaining Programme.

Hon._ Frederick Smythe, Grand Sachem, New York—DEAR Str: 1 Tegret that I cannot ac- cept the invitation I have received from the Tammeny Society to participate in its cele- bration of the one hundred and nineteenth anniversary of American Independence. The | }mlriolism and devotion of those who fought or our hberty ought always to be held in | grateful remembrance, and neither lapse of years nor changed conditions should ever de- tract from the zest and enthusiasm of their commemoration. The thought must not es- cape us, however, that while every anniyer- sary of American Independence reminds ud of the stern sacrifices of the fathers of the Re- | public, and while on occasions we find abundant cause for rejoicing in the splendor of their achievements, we should not fail to be seriously impressed by & proper appreciation of the duties and responsibilities we have in- herited as their successors and legatees. It was their lot to endure the rigors and hardships of a discouraging war in order that overnment by the people might be estab. ished. WWe cannot without wicked recreancy disregard the lessons taught by their suffer- ings, nOT can we without disgrace neglect the duty of preserving and maintaining in their integrity and strength the free iustitutions born of their heroism. Their work was done thrnufh privation and in the midst of doubt and gloom. Our duty can well be performed if we are simply honest, intelligent and patri- otie. They found their danger on the battle. fields and in the uncertain issues of an armed contest. Our danger is found in the reckless. ness of selfishness and in insiduous appeals o gopum passion and thoughtlessness. Nothin ut the same patriotic steadfastness -nfi adherence to principles which led to their ste- cess will now shield our Government from dxsuler_land preserve our National glory and prosperity. I earnestly hope that the celebration con- | templated by your organization will stimulate those who are withinits influence todo valiant deeds in the political field, and amid present | perplexities to teach by example and deciprs. | tion the potency of adherence to sound and consistent principles and the safety of a re- iiance upon the honor and patriotism of our countrymen when impending danger arouses them to activity.

A. HERBERT. LABOR'S GREAT DAY. Vice-President Stevenson and Governor McKinley Speak at Chicago. CHICAGO, TiL. July 4.—One of the greatest demonstrations of organized labor ever seen in this city took place to-day at Sharpshooters’ Park under the auspices of the Illinois State Federation of Labor and the Trade and Labor Assembly of Chicago. The two most prominent speakers of the day were Vice-President Adlai E. Steven- [ son and Governor McKinley of Ohio. Over 20,000 people visited the park during the day. It was aregular Fourth of July cel- ebration, though the patriotic services did not begin until the afternoon. The industrial celebration commenced in the afternoon at 4 o’clock with a short address of introduction by the chairman, Thomas J. Elderkin, Vice-President of the American Federation of Labor. John Me- Bride, President of the American Federa- tion of Labor, delivered an address ‘en- titled ““Trade Unions are Founded on Prin- ciples of Law and Order.” It was after this, nearly 6 o’clock, that Adlar E. Stevenson, Vive-President of the United States, was introduced. He was given a kindly welcome and received great applause. Mr. Stevenson said: This is the land of liberty—of the largest liberty; but it must never be forgotten that this llbe.'li is regulated by law. Whatever savors of lawlessness is antagonistic 1o the spirit of our free i tutions. Whatever the Erw\'x\nce of the citizen, his redress must be found within the pale of the law. For unjust legislation, whenever it exists, there is & remedy. It comes not through defiance of the law and contempt of its ministers, bat the sole remedy is that of the ballot. In this land of liberty and republican government there can be no'excuse for the attempt whether by the one or the many to override lawful authority. All present power springs from the people. Through the peaceful and lawful instrumen- tality of the ballot thay can bind and loose— make and unmake. Thus equipped with the all-powerful ballot, it is not possible that the peopie will permit unequal or unjustlaws 1o Temain upon the statute books. The remedy, however, can come only through the peaceful agency I have indicated. Through the law and its chosen instrumentalities come protection to property and person. \Whatever tends to weaken lawful authority, to lessen respect for its chosen agencies, imperils the very safe- guards of society. This is & Government of Taw—its authority is paramount. Broad as is our domatn, it hes no permanent abiding place for him who would wantonly destroy what it cost centuries of sleepless endeavor to achieve. Broad as is our National emblem, to him who would strike it down_there can be no asylum beneath its ample folds- It was nearing 7 o’clock when Governor McKinley was announced. The crowd had not lost its enthusiasm, and cries of “McKinley for the next President” were taken up nndcfrolonged for many seconds. McKinley said, among other things: What a migh Nation has been erected upon the immortal principles of the great Declara- tion, the signing of which we celebrate to-day. Liberty, labor and love united have accom- plished itall. That citizen is the best who does his business, who concedes te all what he claims for himself. This is ‘the citizenship which is the need of every age, the backbone of the Republie, its security and germmency, which is the hope of future mankind. It was this character of citizenship which animated the men who have fought all the battles of the Republic.

OMAHA, Ngp., July 4.—Nebraska saw the greatest celebration of the Fourth in its history. Almost every village cele- brated in some way. This was largely on account of the fine crop prospects. Omaha had no public celebration, but the crowds thronged Courtland Beach, the ball grounds and the parks. At South Omaha Will Gurley spoke, At Beatrice Senator Thurston made the principal address.
