    MR. GLADSTONE'S LAST PUBLIC ADDRESS,
Speaking In Liverpool two rears ago, h
the Armenians.
THE SIXTH MASSACHUSETTS.
Famous Bcelment'a Second March
Through Baltimore.
Times change and men change with
them. This truth Is recalled, by the
reception accorded the Sixth Massa
chusetts Eeglment In Baltimore while
on Its way to the encaouijment in Falls
Church, Va,, to aid In crushing Spain.
This greeting was splendid In concep
tion and carrying out and reflects great
credit upon the Baltlmoreaus who left
nothing undone that could contrllTute
to the glorification of the Bay State
soldiery while within the confines of
Maryland's great city. In marked con
trast to this was the reception given to
the same regiment In the same city on j
April in, lstii, while oo Its way to
Washington. Then the command was
set upon by a mob numbering tlxn
sands, and before the regiment cut Its
way through the infuriated multitude
five soldiers were killed and twenty
four wounded. The number of dead
and wounded In the assaulting column
was never correctly ascertained, but
from the most authentic sources nt
least thirty were killed and more than
100 wounded. The fight was desperate
for more than ft mile and the volleys of
the soldiers were given wtth the mu
zles of their guns within a few feet of
those wno disputed their passage. This
assault made the regiment famous, as
it was the first blood shed in the civil
conflict
The commander, Edward P. Jones,
scented an uprising In January, 1801,
and bad his companies, chiefly from
boston, ready weeks before the firing
on Port Sumter. As soon as President
Lincoln Issued the call for 75,000 men
Jones had the Sixth In motion and had
the honor of leading the first regiment
down Broadway, New York, for the
SECOND MARCH OF 0111 MASSACHUSETTS THROUGH BALTIMORE.
seat of war. The New Yorkers gave
the troops an uproarious welcome. As
soon as It was learned they were to
go through Baltimore the people of
that city became very Indignant and
proposed to forcibly prevent It At
Philadelphia the frowning attitude of
the Monumental City was communi
cated to the soldiers en route, whose
good time was suddenly lnternrpted by
the order to load their guns with ball
cartridge. This meant an ugly recep
tion. .
The troops arrived In the hostile city
In a crowded station filled with angry
men who hurled execrations at tle ar
riving soldiery. Finding this did not
provokea quarrel, as the Sixth emerged
Into the street a fusilade was begun,
and soon the air was filled wtth flying
missiles hurled at the Invaders. Sev
end were struck and then the regiment
turned and faced Its assailants. This
did not deter the unorganized foe and
the command was given to fire. When
the smoke lifted several of the dead
and dying rioters were stretched on the
ground and a panic-stricken mob was
bunting a place of safety. A running
fight was kept up until the regiment
reached the depot on the other side of
the city, when it was found that five
of the members had been shot to death
and many wounded. The ride to Wash
ington was without Interruption. The
bodies of the dead soldiers were con
veyed to their homes and a great fu
neral procession took place In Boston.
A noble monument to their memory la
erected on one of the main streets In
Worcester, where most of the killed
were from.
Th assault embittered the Balti-
e denounced the TutkIsu crusade against
moreana and led to a general arming
of the men and boys, wtoo threatened to
massacre any Northern troops that
should attempt the march through
their city. The public mind became so
Inflamed that the Mayor pleaded with
President Lincoln to withhold his as
sent to having any more regiments
pass through, as It might lead to the
destruction of the city.
The order was secured and Washing
ton, for some time after, was reached
by Northern regiments going around
by way of Annapolis and avoiding Bal
timore. It was several weeks before
Baltimore cooled dorvn sufficiently to
permit Union soldiers to march unmo
lested through her streets.
Long ago Boston and Baltimore made
up for this scrimmage and have been
the best friends since, and It was at
the request of the Marylanders that the
Sixth Eeglment, equipped for servioe
against a foreign foe, be invited to
tread the streets where her march was
so rudely disturbed thirty -seven years
ago. The Invitation was promptly ac
cepted by GoL Woodward and his men.
When the regiment arrived there It rivet
with a magnificent welcome. For four
hours thousands hung around the
Mount Royal station awaiting the sol
utres. When they did arrive 20,000 peo
ple were massed In the square and a
great shout went up as the Boston boys
left the train. A delegation of 200 of
the leading citizens beaded by Mayor
Malster met the troops. The Mayor In
words touching and tender addressed
the Sixth, and bade them God -speed on
their Journey, and then presented a
floral shield In the shape of a large bas
ket of choice flowers. Across the face of
the floral shield was the inscription In
violets: "Maryland and Massachusetts,"
On streamers extending from the Ixtsket
were the Inscriptions: "Baltimore wel
comes the Sixth Massachusetts;"
"Flowers, Not Bullets f "God Bless
You and Bring You Safely Home,"
"Maryland Honors Massachusetts, May
21. 1S98." OoL Woodward made an elo
quent address for the visitors, and as
he concluded three cheers and a tiger
were given for the Sixth which could
have been heard a mile away.
Derivation of the Word Klondike.
"The River Trip to the Klondike" Is
the title of an article by John Sidney
Webb In the Century. Mr. Webb says:
"From Dawson the trail to the mines
leads over a steep hill to the creek
made so famous by its tributaries; for
there Is not a single mine on the prin
cipal stream, which In the miners'
slang Is called Klondike, And yet this
stream does In reality liear a charac
teristic name given It by the Indians,
which is utterly murdered by this
pronunciation, now so common.
"The Indians name " the creeks
throughout the country from some
characteristic hi connection with the
stream Itself; and as this one Is so
swift that In order to set their salmon
traps or nets they were obliged to use
a hammer to drive the stakes to an
chor them, the creek was named by
them Hammer Creek, or, In their lan
guage, phonetically, Troan Dlk. The
spelling Klondike means absolutely
nothing, but has been accepted, so I
learn, by the Board of Geographical
Namea of the United States."

Easy Work for the Iceboat.
A new type of iceboat constructed on
a novel principle has just been launch
ed in England. One propeller is ar
ranged aft in the usual manner, and
another, though smaller one, is located
at the bow of the buat. This propel
ler, by giving to the water under the
ice high sternward velocity, and thus
creating a partial vacuum, deprives
the ice of its support and reduces its
resistance to crushing, so that the ad
vancing how of the vessel, which is ar
ranged with suitable overhang, cuts
its way into the uueuppnrted ice with
out experiencing either the shock or
resistance to -which former types of
the ice breakers were constantly ex
