The vast gathering of water craft maintained un average speed of eight knots, but sn magnificent wa« its area that the im pression was one of exceingly slow and stately movement. The picture wa» continually changing, but it melted slowly in such measured rythin from form to form that the sen*- of motion was largely lost. It started under a brilliant sky, jmsM-d at the mouth of the Hudson through the threat of an ugly storm, and emerged through a rainbow arch that stretched from shore to shore into a clear and brilliant sunset off the Grant tomb. Tiie night had been a busy one in the fleet of warships off Tompkinsvlle. 'Die last details of the day’s ceremony were hardly settled before the dur itself broke on a scene of greater activ ity than the classic anchorage had ever witnessed before. The gn at vessels of the white squad ron swung at their anchorage as for the [«st two days, but the crowd of Neighboring craft had le,-n swelled pa»i counting. A« far as could be seen the water was a mass of moving steamers 'Die evolution la-gan at I o’clock, and in 15 minutes the fighting line was straightened out up the harbor. Admiral Dewey was going to his own place at the head of a squadron that would have won, at need, three battles of Manila bay without shipping for breakfast. The head of the column was a broad arrow* Six torpedo boat» spread out at the l»<r, three on a side, from the Olympia’s quarter. Outside of them a flying wedge of police patrol boats formed a great V, whose apex wits the Olympia. Flanking them, ahead* and astern, were the liar lor tire boats, spouting great columns of water that turned threateningly toward the excursion boats on either side when they at tempted to crowd the line of march. But the pageant l«ck of this power ful vanguard was not limited to a single or sextuple line of ships. It was a sinuous marine monster half a mile wide, whose vertebrae were the ships of the white squadron, ami whose ribs were rows upon rows of every sort of floating thing that had ever run by steam in New York harbor. From the time the British yacht Erin started shs certainly was the chief attraction along the river front, after the Olympia had gone by, and Sir Thomas Lipton was accorded an ovation all along the Hue. To those on lioard the Erin. deckeiTVut as she was with flags of all nations, it looked as if the American people were greatly pleased with Sir Thomas, and were delighted at an opportunity to give him a hearty welcome. They ran alongside in tugs, barges, launches and big excursion steamers, and shouted all sorts of complimentary tilings to him, while the tall yachstman on the upper brigde of the Erin wore a smile, and not infrequently called back hiz thanks for the kiud wishes.

The claims aggregate something over (87,000. Of this amount atout (30,* 000 grows out of the depredations of the Mataafa rebels in January and March last, while some (5,000 is for losses resulting from the bombardment of the British-American naval forces and the succeeding operations on land. The original amount of the claims was doubled the amount now submitted to the British commissioner as they were first subjected to a rigid scrutiny by a British official at Apia. Mr. Eliot called at the White House today and had a talk with the president, in the course of which Mr. McKinley ex pressed his satisfaction with the work of the Samoan commission. NO.

Fight lletnecn Man and Pip- An interesting fight between a man anil a pig entranced a crowd of Norris town jieople the other morning on the main street.- The man, a young farm er. was driving a big, uncovered wagon. He sat on some lioards that were snatched from the wagon’s two sides, ami under the boards wag the hog, which bin weight held down. Sudden ly, in front of the Montgomery house, the man flew high in the air, the boards clattered down on top of him, and the porker began to climb out of the wagon. “You’ll buck me, will yon?’* said the man, getting up, ami he grabbed the animal by the tnroat and began to pinch it in the nose. The pig, erect and Blneking like mad. struck at him with its forepaws and tried to trip him with its hind one». The intelligent horses stopped so as to let the clowd view the fight in coiufoit. Die man and the hog fought al) over the wagon until they both panted for breath. The animal’s nose was bleed ing, ami the man’s clothes ami skin were torn here and there. The duelists were tevolviiig in a tight embrace in the middle of the wagon, like a couple waltzing, when a spectator reached up and knocked the hog down with a club. Then the lioards were arranged again and the mail drove off.—Philadelphia Record. ('lituate, Srenery and Nature*« tarium.

Journal. 25. Aguinaklo’r, Attempt in the Field of Diplomacy. HIS "REFI BMC” UNRECOGNIZED Interview With Ills Knvoy, ffhl Talli» Lik« a Genuine Anti- imperialist. Manila, Oct. 3.—Aguinaldo’» third attempt to shift hi» difficulties into the field of diplomacy is a repetition of the other two, with an imp>»aible en deavor to obtain Mime sort of re<-ogni- tion of his so-called government. The Filipino envoys had an hour’s conference with General (His this morning. They brought from Agui naldo a message that he desired peace and wished to »end a civilian govern mental commission to disciise the ques tion. Generaf Otis replied that it was impasible for >.i<n to recognize Agui naldo’« government in that way. They presented a letter from Aguinaldo ai ‘■president of the republic,” which was largely a rejictition of his recent ap peals for recognition. General Otte informol them that, while he was will ing to corresptnd with Aguinaldo as general of the insurgent forces, he must positively decline to recognize him aj president of tho civil government. Another conference will lie held t<« morrow. The Filipino» will remain two or three days. Their •noveiuents are un- restricted, but they are under the con stant chaperouage of Captain Johnson, of the Sixteenth infantry. T<»lay they visited the hospitals and distribute'! money among the wounded Filipinos, after which they made calls and re ceived visitors at their hotel. Native.! in their Sunday clothing thronged tho plaza in front of the hotel all day, stretching their necks towards the win dows for a glimpse of the showy uni forms of the enovys. The assemblage finally increased to 1,000 fieople. When the envoys emerged for an after noon drive, the natives removed their hats deferentially and a crowd in ve hicles and on foot followed the carriage through the streets. "We desired peace, but peace with in dependence and honor,’’ said General Aliejandrino today, while conversing with a press representative. He im presses one as dignified and dispaasioa- ate and a keen man of the wolrd. He was educate! in Euorpe, and designed the remarkable entrenchments from Manila to Tarlac. While reticent con cerning his mission, his conversation throws an interesting light on the Fili pino view of the American attitude. "How long can the Filipino army withstand 60,000 troops?" asked the press representative. "Fighting in our way, we can main tain a state of war and the necessity of a large army of occupation indefi nitely. You Americans are holding a few miles around Manila, a narrow line of railroad to Angeles and a circle around San Fernando. But yon are ignorant of the resources of Lnzon. We hold the rich, immense pnsluctive northern country from which to draw. Our jieople contribute the money and food for our army, anil this te done at a minimum cost "It is an interesting question what the cost to the American people is of maintaining troops in the Philippines. A Filipino exists with a handful of rice ami a pair of linen trousers. We do not have to pay our soldiers. Even with our present supply of arms and ammunition, we could keep your army occupied for years. “With an expense that grows daily, how long will your people stand it* The Filipino people vlo not wish to con tinue the fighting. Wc have no army contractors. We have no business men making profits from the maintenance of our army. There is nothing in it for us, nor are our salaries large enough to keep us fighting for money and posi tion. ’ ’ A LL FOR-DEW É Y Fifty Th<»u«an<l Men In the T.nn«l Parade —Climax of Celebration. New York, Oct. 3.—The land parade today capped the climax. The city, state and nation united in a vast dem onstration worthy of the hero of Manila. The earth trembled beneath the tread of 50,000 men, and the air was torn with the shouts of millions. The na val parade of yesterday was magnifi cent and superb, but the wonder of modern times was the great laud pa rade. Thousands of ptoud men of our land and sea forces, the militia of 15 states and the veterans of the civil and Spanish-American wars swelled the procession and gave it the dignity in size that it boasted in sentiment. Admiral Dewey, the hero of the day, and the officers of the fleet, in all the glory of their gold-laced uniforms and gold-trimmed cocked hats, were in open barouches. Mayor Van Wvck sat beside Admiral Dewey. The front seat of the carriage was bankeil with beautiful floral pieces. The hero was recognized by the people on the in stant, and the cheers and huzzahs along the line of march, seemed fairly to lift the sky. Everybody cheered and utterly everylxsly jumped up and down in frantic enthusiasm.________ Two Kilted by a Trala.
