An Imposing Spectacle. HEN your Uncle Sam- uol sets about to do a thing it is usually done in the most approprl- priate oud elaborate way, and the great naval review witnessed in New Xork harbor was no exception to this rule. The Impos­ ing demonstration sig­ nalized the opening of the Columbian Exposi­ tion at Chicago, and its international char- actex lent added at-, traction to. a display of naval glory unprece­ dented in the history of the world. Representative vessels from the mighty navies of the most powerful na­ tions of the earth joined with the superb warships of our own country in a dis­ play grand and impressive almost be­ yond conception or description. For two weeks prior to the event in New York harbor, the monster ships had been arriving at the rendezvous in Hampton Roads, off Fort Monroe, at the very spot where, thirty-one years ago, the Monitor and Merrimac engaged in the most decisive naval battle in the civil war, and proved to the world that the days of wooden battleships was over. First to arrive was our .own flagship, the Philadelphia, Bear Admiral Ban­ croft Gherardi, commander-in-chief, Capt. A. S. Barker commanding. Sev­ eral other vessels of the United States navy accompanied her, and as one after another the foreigners were sight­ ed the monster guns pealed forth their thun Jerous salutes. For several days the scene was one of animation and ex­ citement. The roadstead was gay with flags of the various nations represent- dlspatcn boats Yantlc, Commander Samuel Belden, commanding.

A frightful wr.eok occurred on the Bare Bock Bailroad In Pennsylvania. The road is about two miles in length, and runs from Woys station on the Somerset and -Cambria Boad to the quarries of the Somerfet Stone Company. The grade is very steep, being about .150 feet to the mile. In coming down, the train, composed of an engine with two cars loaded with largo block stone in the rear, became unmanageable and dashed down the grade at a tremendous rate of speed. On the engine were Engineer Ntff, his little son Russell, and a farmer, John E Pile, with his wife and daughter, while on the cars were some twenty laborers returning from tho day's work. At the foot of the grade were standing a number of cars loaded with stone. Into these the runaway train dashed with velocity. The engine and cars were thrown from the track, and Pile, his wife and daughter were burled under the engine. When taken out they were dead. Engineer Neff and his son were severely scalded, the latter fatally. A number of the laborers jumped from the train before the crash came. Those who staid on were burled In the wreck. Seven dead boJies have been taken from the wreck. THE '•V , RENDEZVOUS IN HAMPTON ROADS. _8csadler .........Unprotected cruiser Holland--Van Speyfc......... .Protected cruiser Italy--Etna Par.

Of a type different than those of any other nation, they combine fighting ability, with swiftness, and challenge the ad­ miration of the world. But, superb as they are, they were In company which divided honors fairly. England sent the famous Blake, now the equal and lately the superior of any floating battery in the world. Argen­ tine's Nueve de Julio, Just from the yards on the Clyde, gave to the world the information that this South American confederation was ready to do battle upon equal grounds with any other power. The Jean Bart, with her gigantic gun9, iron-elded hull and "Wicked-looking ram, looked equal to" the task of encountering the whole fkdet. Italy, Bussla, Brazil, Germany, Spain, and even little Holland, all sent champions fit Indeed <0 appear In this congress of invincible monarohs of the •ea. Under rway from Hampton Boads to New York, the American vessels acted as escorts to the visitors, the Spanish fleet having the place of honor, com­ manded by the l)uke of Veragua, Ad­ miral of Spain. Vice Admiral Sir J. D. Hopkins with the Blake led the British squadron; Vice Admiral Kornakoff the Russian, with Grand Duke Alexis sec­ ond in command; Bear Admiral Magun- ghl was in command of the Italian fleet, and Capt. Amavel, ex-Minlster of Ma­ rine of Portugal, was in command of the corvette Alfonso de Albuquerque. Admiral Ghorardi of the American 1 fleet is a man fitted by education and temperament for the delicate duties In­ trusted to him. He was born In Jack­ son, La., November 10, 1832. He en­ tered the navy from Massachusetts as midshipman in 1816, and served on the Ohio, of the Pacific squa lron, till 1850, entering the Annapolis Academy in 1852. Me became lieutenant in 1855, and at the beginning of the civil war was on the Lancaster, of the Pacific squa Iron. In 1862 he was made Lieu­ tenant Commander, and look part in the engagement of Fort Macon in that year. In 1863-64 he commanded the gunboat Chocorna and the steamer Port jUoyal, of the West Gulf blockade Squadron. In the latter vessel he took morning of review. Early on that eventful morning every available space for sight-seeing was crowded with spectators; crafts of all descriptions, resplendent with bunting of nearly every civilised nation in the world and lively with the music of scores of bands, steamed out to take positions advantageous for view. Slowly up the Narrows steamed the mightiest fleet ever afloat; they were joined by the Columbus caravels, the Santa Maria, Nina and Pinta, and the assem­ bled thousands roared a mighty cheer as these representatives of the great discoverer's frail craft swept on in com- ?any with the others. At last, opposite "orts Hamilton and Wadsworth, came the supreme moment, Tho coast de­ fense guns belched forth a sheet of flame, and from out the smoke boomed America's salute to the nations of the world. Hardly had the first cheer rolled up from the multitude Defore the fleet gave answer with a roar and crash that seemed to split the very heavens. Co­ lumbia had received the proudest hom­ age in her history. The rest of the exercises were simple. The fleet came to anchor. President Cleveland, his Cabinet, and other dig­ nitaries boarded the flagship Phila­ delphia, and slowly down the line the party steamed in review. Flags and bunting were displayed in profusion. As the President of the great republic passed the* warships the yards were manned, the bands played national airs, and the multitude ashore and afloat howled Itself hoarse. Tho Presidential review terminated the parade, and many of the foreign vessels departed at once for their re­ spective stations. Quite a number of the commanding officers, however, pro­ ceeded to Chicago to witness the open­ ing of the Exposition. Upon their return from Chicago tho foreign officers are to be entertained lavishly by the citizens of New York. $100,000 In gold and the same sum in greenbacks.

Secretary of the Treasury and the New York Bankers Unable to Agree. Secretary Carlisle, acoording to Wash­ ington advices, brought up the proposi­ tion of the New York bankers to sup­ ply, under certain conditions, the Treas­ ury Department with gold at the Cabinet meeting Tuesday. It wae thoroughly discussed and finally re­ jected. What this proposition was la not known, a9 Secretary Carlisle de­ clined to make its terms public. It waa not considered advantageous to the Government. This was the culmination of several propositions submitted, one of which was declined last Satur­ day. A counter proposition was then made by the bankers to the Secretary, of the Treasury, which was received last Monday. This was also rejected, and in turn the Secretary submitted a propo­ sition to them which they also refused to aocept. All negotiations, therefore, between the Treasury Department and the New York bankers are off, at least for the present, and Secretary Carlisle will look In other directions to continue y to replete the Treasury gold. The ad­ ministration does' not desire to issue bonds and will not do so except as a last resort. Notes of Current Events. THE Duke of Cairtelud died in New York.
