NEW YOhtv UKOINS.

Nkw Youk, Oct. 1U.—After many months of preparation the great New York celebration of the 400th anniversary of the. discovery of America by toluinhus was ushered in Saturday ^y special services in the various synagogues of this city. The city in many quarters displays profuse decorations, tui-.l it is believed that by Monday hardly a house in the city will be without some semblance of decoration in honor of the great event.

Save for the elaborate displays of bunting and booming of the big gun on the Governor's island in honor of the arrival of the French war ships there were few visible occurrences to mark the opening day of the Columbian celebration which will reach over next Thursday.

An Old Congregation.

The Spanish and Portuguese congregation, the oldest congregation of Hebrews in this city, held special services in the synagogue »t Kifth avenue and Nineteenth street. Rabin lVreirn Mendes utlii iated. This congregation was formed 'Jiio years ago by descendants of tin: Hebrews driven out of Spain in the famous expulsion of 14V ami the services were out of the ordinary in eunseiiieiici of the dual anniversary. The ancient ritual was read willi traditional chants, and the music nsistcd of melodies dating back prior to the expulsion. The rabbi delivered special sormon. i'lie services ill nil the Hebrew temples were distinctively patriotic, differing only in this, that tho synagogues adhering to the rigid ceremonials of the orthodox faith permitted no interidecorations to interfere with the severe simplicity of the services incident to the Feast of the Tabernacles.

At the handsome temple '•KuianiiKl," Fifth avenue and Forty-first street, which possesses the largest congregation of tho Reformed Jews in the I'niteil State: the pulpit was festooned with United .States flags ami bunting and the fruits of the country, lavishly displayed, symbolized tlie Feast of the Tabernacles.

In some of the synagogues the customary intonation in Hebrew of the l'salms appointed for tho day (the ninety-fifth nud ninety-sixth l'salms) was replaced by patriotic liynis. In all the temples the children were made participants and sang iu honor of the country and the (lay.

Sunday Services.

Special services were held in most of the churches. The choirs in somp of the churches were assisted by orchestras, and elaborate musical programmes were givsn. Tie pulpits and ultars were adorned with flowers. All of the discourses were prepared with special consideration for the children, so that the youngest attendant could appreciate the importance of the services.

Sunday evening the Italian colony, under the auspices of Minister Itaron Fuva, began its Columbian celebration at the Lenox lyceum with a concert and a discourse by I)r. Luigi Reversi 011 Columbus. In the afternoon many people visited the Italian transport Garigliauo, which brought over the Columbus monument.

Wont to Son th« Foreign Ships. All day long a crowd of people thronged the piers and crowded the embankments at the foot of Twentythird and Twenty-fourth streets, anxious for a glimpse of the foreign warships, innumerable small boats, tugs and steam launches plied during the day between the, shore and the vessels. carrying the curious out to the ships at the rate of twenty-live cents a head. In spite of the crowds that made the trip, however, comparatively few siU. foot on any of the vessels. Tho Hausan and Infanta Yzabella refused to receive the crowd at iarge and most of tho sightseers were simply carried out alongside the French flagship Arethuse and brought back again without being given even a chance to board her. hit the City Hall.

The city hall is the most elaborately decorated building down town, although many of the newspaper oflices about l'ark row are using a great deal of bunting arranged in graceful designs. On the city hall American, Italian and Spanish flags are looped everywhere In an endless chain covering the front of the buildir.K mul strung from the many llagstafVs to the roof. The coat-of-arms of the United States and New York nre displayed at the cornices, framed in Italian and Spanish flags. A largo gold-framed oil painting of the Santa Maria, Columbus' liagahip, will show above the center of the balustrade. The United States coat-of-arms, draped with the American colors and topped by an American banner, will surmount the painting. An oil painting of Columbus 5 by 8 feet is sot in a drapery of flags of America, Spain and Italy, topped by a United States shield and banner, directly over tho center of the main entrance of the building. The cost of decorating the building was about SI, 200. liny Dccoratious.

The trellis arch at Twenty-second street. Manhattan club building and the resilience of ex-Secretary Whitney were visited by thousands Sunday. Along Fifth avenue from Madison square to Thirty-fourth street there were a series of standards, 100 in number. from which depended pointed gonfalons and Venetian Hags bearing the arms of Ferdinand, Isabella, Columbus and others. The standards are surmounted by gilt eagles and decorated at their basis by civic shields. Uroadwuy is now a kaleido

scope of changing colors. Ail the large wholesale houses in the dry goods district are artistically draped with gay bunting. The center piece in most cases is a painting of Columbus on oue side and of Washington on the other.

In addition to the big stands at the city hall and in Union square, Madison square and Washington park inanv smallbr ones have been put up. Seats on all of the stands will be free for the school and college parade to-day, with the exception of a few hundred seats already sold. The stands iti Madison square, City Hall park and Union square are free only to women and children.

I'urndn of School Children.

To-day the secular part of the celebration will be opened with the school and college parade, with over 20,000 in line. The parade has occupied the attention of its promoters for weeks.

As the celebration draws near thieves, pickpockets and crooks ol every description are beginning to come out from their hiding places. They aro waiting for the big crowds this week. Orders have been issued to arrest all suspicious characters ami lock them up until the celebration is over.

Kxpect li .Million ViHltorM.

It is estimated that over 1,(100,000 people will witness the parade next week. About SO,000 of them will have seats in stands that fit into every aperture in Uroadwuy, Fifth avenue, about Union and Madison squares, Fourth avenue, and iu the open space at the south end of Central park. Scats on the stands are sold at SI apiece. Almost every window from which the spectacle can be viewed and places on roof tops have also been sold at fancy prices. It is estimated that the citizens of New York have spent, or will spend by Monday, at least, WOO,000 in decorations. The. boxes and seats on the stands will realize in the four days of the spectacle almost SSSO.OOO. This amount, minus the expenses, will go toward defraying the cost of the great show. ('resident llarrlnoii May Xul (Id.

Washinutox. Oct. 10.—Owing to the condition of Mrs. Harrison's health the president has concluded that it will be out of his power to participate In the social events to which he has been assigned in tho Columhus celebration in New York the present week. lie has therefore requested Vice I'reuident Morton, who is now at his home at Ilhinecliff, to take his place, to which request Mr. Morton has made a prompt and favorable response.

It i* possible that the president will make a hurried trip to New York to review the military procession on Wednesday, but even this has not been definitely determined, and whether he will go or not will depend entirely on the condition of Mrs. Harrison at that time. If he docs not go the vice president will represent him in this capaci ty also.

The Disaster.

Tho Premier left Port Townsend about 1:30 for Seattle, iu a heavy fog She was blowing her whistle continu ously. When oft Point No-Point another vessel sounded close by. and almost immediately afterwards a terrific crash was heard. The foro cabin tho P/tinier was sma«hed to splinter and the prow of the Willamette was found jammed right into the bow of the Premier.

The •Willamette was laden with coal

and was on her way from Seattle San Francisco. There were severa men in the Premier's cabin, one oi whom was killed, together with a boy A steward who was in the saloon eat ing his dinner was instantly killed Several other passengers were jammed in the debris. Some of thein wero seriously woundod and all more or less bruised. The stem of the Willamette was so deeply imbedded in the Premier that the passengers scrambled over the broken woodwork and on the collier. The women were handed up first, followed by the wounded as fast as they could be moved. Men with broken limbs, and both men and women with bleeding faces and bodies were.helped up. It was soon seen to be impossible to draw of the Willamette without sinking the Premier, so Ce.pt. Anderson determined to forge ahead, driving before him the steamer spiked on his bow. He forced her back on the beach and was so tightly wedged that he. could not back off without dragging tho Premier with him. The tug (SoHah, towing out a schooner, was bailed and she took off tho passengers, bearing them to Seattle. The receding tide left both vessels stranded and still interlocked.
