AS AHMV OF CHIl.tlUK.V.

NKW VOKK, Oct. 11.—Young- America's patriotic tribute to Colinnbus thrilled the metropolis Monday, the third day of the Columbian celebration. There was a triple programme by which the refinement, of the nation was to be commemorated, showing1 the progress of art in the exhibition at the National Academy of Design, the advance of education in the marching youth of the schools and colleges, ami the nllegory of the "Triumph of Columbus" at Carnegie Music hall.

Farado of School Children.

The parado of school children was the first event of tho legitimate celebration. About 10,800 children from New York, Brooklyn and Xew Jersey, each carrying American flags, were in line. About 10,000 of these represented the public schools of New York city, 8,000 from Brooklyu and between 4,01)0 and 5,000 from New Jersey cities. Results of more than 250 years of educational work were represented in the parade, for the first school founded by tho old Dutch settlers in liiiil), in that part of "New Amsterdam" now known as West Seventy-seventh street, is still in existence and is called the school of the reformed church. Twenty regiments of grammar school boys, of New York, Brooklyn, Long Island aud Jersey City, each regiment at least 500 strong, marched with swinging step and perfect alignment at the head of the parade. In the second division came tlu pupils of the parochial schools, academies and colleges of the Catholic church in New York und adjacent cities, over 5,000 strong, each pupil also carrying the national Hag in connection with the emblems and banners of the churches and academies to which they belong. After them followed the uniformed schools, and last the students of maturer years from the different colleges of law, medicine, engineering nnd the arts, about 4,000 strong 1,000 from Columbia college, 1,200 from the University of New York, 1,200 from the Undergraduates' college, 250 from the College of Dentists, etc. In the third division was a medley composed of numerous "institutes." It comprised Hebrew orphan asylums German, Italian and French institutions of various characters, intermixed with trade schools, business colleges, military institutes and mechanics' societies, with 1,000 "Young Dalton Volunteers," whatever they may be, and sixty "Glittering Spears."

a

Music Galon

The din of the different bands was at times confusing and discordant in the extreme, unavoidably so, from the large number of bands anil the small intervals of separation. Cappa's fine Seventh regiment band led with fifty pieces, but there were also the military bands of the Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Twenty-second, Thirtysecond and Seventy-first New York regiments, all ranging from thirty-five to fifty pieces the band of the First New Jersey regiment, the Navy Yard band, numerous private bauds and innumerable drum corps.

Living American Shield.

The girl scholars who were denied participation in the parade were assigned peculiarly appropriate and ornamental part in the proceedings. Artistically grouped on the stand in the reservoir square, at the junction of Fifth avenue und Forty-second street, were nearly 1,700 pretty-faced school girls, each wearing a. liberty cap and costumed in red, white and blue respectively. The tableau had been so arranged beforehand that on the approach of the procession almost Instantaneously the smiling, brightfaced children so disposed themselves and their costumes as to present the effect of the American shield, with three American flags artistically bunched on each side of it. The fluttering, quivering motions of the admirably arranged bands of colors as 1,700 sweet girl voices sang "The StarSpangled Banner" and other patriotic songs, while their gallant boy fellow students tramped past with quickened step and ringing cheers, must have left a lasting impression of the Columbian sehoolday celebration on tho minds of thousands of the rising generation. On the cast side of Union square a like effective tableaux was presented by 1,000 schoolgirls of the Catholic parochial schools, and on a neighboring stand S00 tiny waifs belonging to the Children's society waved their miniature American flags as the procession passed by.

CurllHlc Jmllrtn ISoyM.

But the feature of the parade which perhaps attracted more attention than any other along the line was the march of, not "six little Indian boys," but !i00 of them from Carlisle (Pa.) Indian industrial school, aecompanicd by their own band of music and partly dressed in Indian costume, partly in uniform of their school. These sturdygoing warriors admirably illustrated the fact that education and milder nnd more humanizing methods' than those originally pursued are surely and even rapidly elevating in the scale of civilization the race whom Columbus found in sole possession of the country he claimed by right of Christian discover}-.

Itevlcwcii the J'nrurio.

The presidential reviewing stand in Madison square opposite the Worth statue was pleasantly shaded by pink striped awnings supplementing the fall foliage of the trees in the square. The stands stretching to right and left of the presidential dais and on the opposite side of the avenue the entire length of the square were thronged with spectators who were admitted by ticket only.

ORAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, TUESDAY OCTOBER 11 1892.

At 10:25 the first division came to the Raiting crowd. The carriage of Gov. Uoswell 1*. Flower, New York's ehief executive, drawn by a pair of spanking bays, drove up rapidly to the reviewing stand and the governor alighted, accompanied b.y Adjt. lien. I'ortcr in full dress uniform and followed by Gens. ICarle, Bal'iium, Jcnks, Ilalsey and other members of the governor's staff. The spectators cheered the governor and renewed the cheer ing when, immediately afterward, tho guest of the day, Vice President Morton. representing President Harrison, drove up in an open barouche and was received at the entranco to the stand by Gov. Flower, who conducted him to the seat set apart for the absent president.

It was 11:15 o'clock before the first distant strains of the numerous bands fell upon the ear and at 11:25 the advance squad of splendidly mounted police and the marshals und his aids, wearing gorgeous sashes of the national colors, rode past. The vice president and governor rose to receive them and bowed as each of the well-mounted aids raised his hat. Next came Mayor Grant and Commissioner Guggenheimer, sturdily mareliing on foot at the head of the first division aud lustily cheered as they came along. Then came the boys, with their own bands in uniform, marching twenty abreast with a rythmic swing and a military bearing which carried all before it. and company sifter company was greeted with shouts of applause as each seemed to march even better than the company preceding.

Firework* it I ilronklyn llrldge.

Brooklyn bridge was the. place of attraction in the evening. A gorgeous displa3'of fireworks had been promised, and at an early hour great crowds began to gather at points of vantage ou llie river fronts in both cities, while hundreds of craft, loaded with passengers, were anchored at favorable points in the river and harbor. All the high buildings in New York near the river were utilized, and those on Park row and other near streets were fairly covered with people. The display fully met the expectations of the people. Among the set pieces was a statue of Columbus and a representation of the ship in which the discoverer set sail from Genoa. Two tons of powder were used in the colored lire for the series of fifteen illuminations, which were accompanied with salvos and flights of screaming rockets, bombs, roman candles and gas balloons. One of the most striking displays was a representation of Niagara falls in silver fire. This was at the New York end of the bridge. It was •525 feet wide and represented a dazzling cascade of shining silver 200 feet high. There was a novel telegraphic message, written in letters of fire, sent from one lower to the other by the Morse code.

Muftlc nnd Oratory.

The audience that listened to Silas G. Pratt's musical cantata "Columbus," which was rendered iu the Carnegie music hall Monday night, under the auspices of the committee of 100, was not a large one. The chorus was about 400 strong*. The chief feature of the evening was the speech of Chauncev M. Depew. It was delivered after the festival march entitled "The Empire .State." Mr. Depew came upon the platform attired in evening dress and said in part: 'Tlu* parade which I have seon to-dny was more pathetic, more significant tlmii all the pageantry that is to follow. That which Is to follow in the silent material parade which marks the wealth and the civilization of a great people. It marks the things that belong to their efforts and their easo, their pleasures and powers. Hut this procession on Fifth avenuo of the little ones of the metropolis presented a larger Held and a more hopeful promise. It was the flower and the fruitage of the civil auu ivligious liberty of the American people. I Cheers.

It 1M Different Now.

"In the nge of Columbus bigotry ruled the state, aud bigotry in the church was one of the things that Columbus had to tight, while superstition was almost universal among them. It was an ago of creeds warring against each other and each with all the appliances of war. It was anacft which was merciless lu its beliefs and in their propagation: it was an ago when all races and all nations were arrayed against one on* other. Hut to-day the hoys and girls who were the children of the Gentile and the

Jew, children

of the parents of every creed, the descendant? of every race, inarched under one flag and to'on music—the music of the nationality of the flag of the United States [cheers], all in harmony with the tlag and with tho music growing up to be American citizens, no matter what their crecd or their religion. It was a grand demonstration of freedom and liberty of conscience, no matter what tho church It grows strouger, no matter what the faith, provided it be pure it enlarges and strengthens with that liberty which is the life and light of the people.

Detest for Incredulity.

"U there is anything which I dptestmore than another it is that spirit of incredulous historical Inquiry which doubts everything in a modern spirit, which destroys all tho likeness of the heroes which have been the inspiration of heroism through nil these centuries. [Cheers.l "We are told that William Tell never existed, that Washington had no hatchet in the world, and that Pocahontas never saved the life of a settler. It is this spirit that would destroy our Columbus this spirit would tear down the monuments whlob have been our admiration. 1 bollcve that there are heroes in life, heroes in war and saints in the church. 1 believo thut there are supreme patriots atnong the people and epoch-makers who have made progress possible. |Choers.J I believe Columbus was one of them, and one of the greatest."

Columbus was a dreamer, but he dreamt of new worlds. Columbus was a poet, but he bo* Moved that God had meant him to convert pagan people, aud he found them. Columbus was a navigator, but he was a navigator only under those conditions which made him tho equal of the kings of his time. He was admiral of the ocean because he was made Christopher Columbus to carry Christ across the sea."

Mr. Depew then departed and the programme was carried out The principal participants were Miss Jennie Dutton, Mr. Homer Moore, Mrs. Kosa Linde, Misses llilko and Gillette, Mr. Gillette and Miss Dutton. The cantata was divided into six parts—the prologue, the council of Salamauca, Columbus and his boy Diego, Queen Isabella at her court, the voyage and the grand triumphant march and reception.

FrSIO.N IN MINNESOTA.

ST. PAI L, Minn., Oct. 11.—The most sensational incident of the campaign in Minnesota occurred at Monday afternoon when Peter J. Smallc.y, secretary of the democratic state central committee, appeared at the secretary's ofiice at the state capitol and filed the names of the candidates of his party for presidential electors. A scrutiny of the list revealed the fact that four of the democratic presidential electors, D. II. llibbs, A. IJ. Saekett, •lames Brown and John C. Oswald, had been withdrawn and four 'Weaver electors substituted in their stead. This is the last, day for the filing of nominations, and consequently no further changes can be made.

I)ldn't Make a Trade.

The managers of the populist campaign deny that they had a hand in any deal. They say it is a purely voluntary action on the part of the demo crats. Chairman Lewis Baker, of tho democratic state central committee, was asked Monday afternoon if the substitution of the people's party electors was the result of a conference between his committee and that of the people's party. He replied: "No, we have had no conference whatever. Three or four of our electoral candidates. Messrs. Hibbs, Saekett aud Oswald, tendered their resignations to the committee for the reason that they were connected with national banks. Mr. .lJrown, the fourth man who withdrew, gave as his reason pressing business matters which oeiupie.l his eutire atten* lion. Our cominitleo then unanimously deelded to till the vacancies by substituting tho people's party nominees, for we are *ure that if elected they will not von? for Harrison 1'ears a Revolution.

Momtiso.v, 111., Oct. 11.—Gen. John C. Black, of Chicago, addressed an audience here Monday afternoon. He spoke upon the subject of the tariff and the force bill. His main argument was an attack on the republican policy of protection. He bitterly denounced the force bill, and said that if Harrison was elected the force bill would be passed and it would be the beginning of a revolution.

MrrimillH Will Not Voir.

BOISK, Idaho, Oct. 11.—Tho oispaich sent out from this place to the effect that the Mormons will vote at the coining election is without foundation. The Mormons will make no effort to vote at this election, 110 matter what action the courts may take. Tho republican party, in its state platform, has pledged itself to repeal the law disfranchising the Mormons at the next session of the legislature, and they prefer to await this action rather than risk any possible future contest. .Senator Dubois, now in this city, who understands the' political situation, and especially the status of the Mormon question, better, perhaps, than any man in the state, says the Mormons will not attempt to vote this year' iov. l'eck In«I I I'h a Call.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 11.—At a late hour Monday afternoon Gov. Peck issued a call for a special session of the legislature for the purpose of making a now reapportionment of the state, lie mimes Monday evening, October IT, as tho time for it to convene. The call is a short and formal affair and differs from the Call issued several months ago in so far that it contains a clause which will enable the legislature to amend tho election laws so that legal notice can be made prior to election day.

LA GAUYAHA, Oct. 11.—The most dis aslrous storm that this city has experienced in forty years swept down the Stilla de Caracas mountain Sunday night The damage is great and spreads over a wide area. Them were some terrible landslides and many houses were wrecked. It is feared there has been great loss of life. Only meager details have so far been obtained, but it is known that the mountain railroad which connects La Guayra with Caracas has been completely destroyed. All communication with Caracus is cut off.

The lute acting president and his cabinet who have been in hiding here since Gen. Crcspo's forces captured Caracas have been taken to the island of Curacoa, where they cannot be reached by the succcssful insurgents. Thej' were conveyed thither by the Spanish and French warships.

AN t.W'KAVOIJANLR CIIAJK.

PiTTsnritOH, Pa.. Oct. 11.— Chief Justice Pax-tun, of the stale supreme court, at lo a. in. charged the grand jury iu the treason cases against the Homestead strikers. The charge contained over 5.00U words and embraced a graphic resume of the circumstances leading up to the riot at the Carnegie Homestead mil! aud the subsequent chargcs of treason lodged against thirty-three union inen. Justice Paxton said

ICotifled to No Sympathy.

"We can have some sympathy with a inob driven to desjeration by hunger, as in the days of the French revolution, but we cun Und none for men receiving exceptionally high wages in resisting the law und resorting to violence and bloodshed in the assertion of imaginary rights and entailing such a vast exj»ense upon the taxpayers of the commonwealth. It was not a cry for bread to teed their famishing lips, resulting in a .sudden outrage, with good provocation it was a deliberate attempt by men without authority to control others in the enjoyment of their riuhts."

Itights of the Corporation.

Iii defining the law. Justice Paxlon said: "When the company shutdown its works and discharged its men it waB acting strictly iu the lines of the law it could not compel the men to work nor could themeu compel the company to employ them: no arrangement eouid be made in such regard except iu the nature of a contract agreed upon by the parties. Upon thi* subject their rights were mutual. The company had the undoubted right to protect its property for this purpose it could lawfully employ as many men as it saw proper and arm them if necessary. The right of the men was to refuse to work unless their terms were acceded to and persuade others to join them in such refusal, but the law will sustain them no fu' ther. The moment they attempt to control the works, aud to provent by violence or threatsof violence othrr laborers from going to work, then they placcd themselves outside the pale of the law. It cannot be tolerated for a moment that one laborer shall say to another laborer 'You shall not work for this man for that wage without my consent,* and then enforce such command by brutal violence upou his person.

Treason Defined.

vYou will observe that the offense charged is treason against the state, and not against the United States, it is a matter with which the latter has nothing to do and over which it can have no jurisdiction. A mere mob, collected upon the impulse of the moment, without any detinl to object beyond the grat ill cation of its sudden passions,does not commit treason, although it destroys property and attacks human life. Hut when a large number or meu arm nnd organize themselves and engage in a common purpose to defy the law, to resist its ofllcers and deprive their fellow-citi-zens of the rights to which they are entitled under the constitution and laws, it is a leying of war against tho state, und the offense is treason. Where a body of men have organized for a treasonable purpose every step which any one of them takes in part execution of their common purpose is an overt act of treason. Every member of such asserted government who has participated in such usurpation ha3 committed treason against tinstate."

Anarehy or Order.

lie closed by saying: "We have reached tho point in tho history o1 tho state where there are but two roads for to pursue. The one leads to order und good government the other leads to nnorcny. The one great question which concerns the-people of thls'eountry is the enforcement of the law and the preservation of order."

True Hills May He Heturned.

When Justice Paxton announced that it was not necessary that only the commonwealth be inveighed against for one to be guilty of treason, that it is proper for any firm or corporation to hire guards from any state whatsoever and arm such guards, the faces of defendants lengthened perceptibly. The instructions fell among them as a lcnell. There sectns to be little doubt that true bills will be returned. And if true bills be returned there is little doubt that several of the strikers will be convicted.

Tho Cause of Many Failures.

PiTTSBntOH, Pa., Oct li.—(The labor troubles of the last six months are held to be largely responsible lor recent business failures among the Hebrew*, in the Wylie avenue district. Within the last week tho shcrilf has attached his bills of sale to six dry goods ami notion stores in that section. The whole system seems to have been one of credit. Little capital was investor! by many of the dealers. All depender on their income from sales to wee' their payments. The amount luvolvei by these failures is over $^0,000.
