The triumphant arrivn! of La Gascogne at her pier yeaterday after her long battle wlth the wlnda and wavaa waa like the coming of a con queror. Her tnachlnery had broken down and she had encountered the worat weather known for yeara on tho North Atlantlc. But the great i-hlp had overcome all QbBtBCiBB and br night her pauaaaaaakra, her crew and her cargo safe to port. .^he will be ready to g.. out ngaln a week fPotfl to-day, as well equipped as aba was before her accldent, to battle wlth wlnds and waves. Tke broken platon-md will be replaced by a new one, and in a few days the long voyage of Ijb. Gas cogne. wlth all Ihe anxlety whlch her non-arrival at thlB port caused. wll. have faded from the minds of moat people and be only a reminlscence of the oea. to be ealled up when some other great aensation Ib furnished by the orean. There was a acene of excitement BUCb as has aeldom. If ever. been wltnessed on a North Rlrer pier before when La Gascogne rame up to her pier yesterday morning. A crow.l of fully 2.0D0 people waa assembled on and about ihe |>ler. At 10 o'clock the bulkheada. ptera and the decka of steam'era at plers ln the vMnlty. anl tha win dOfra and houee-toj.s along West-st.. opposite the French pier. were black wlth people. An extra force of pollcemen kept a passageway open leadlng to the pier. Through thla passageway about 1,000 people with passes made thelr way 10 the pier. The end of the pier was BOOC a soliu mass of humanitv. Nearly all were frlends or reUtlves of the people on board the ship. The whole French oolony seemed to be there. Women nnd thelr eaoorta .ilmbed upon boxes of mer ?haniise and secured places from whlch they could get a good vlew of the long-oxpeeted steamer. CHEERS FOR THE STEAMER. lt was Just 10:50 o'clock when the crowd on the end of the pier cent out a cheer that announced the arrtval of the shlp. Those inside the dock ahed took up anl repeato.l the cheer, although they could not aee anythlng save a sea of heads wlth sllk hats and plumed bonnets in front of :h?\n. The crowd whlch by that time had filled the llg space ln front of the pier took up the cheer. When at last the waitlng ones saw the black hull and tall funnela of the llner through the fog of tugboat steam they began shouting and wavlng thelr arms The fortunate ones who were ?n the pier were frantic with excitement when the blg boat liomed up at the end of the pier. The three tugs whose proffers vt assistance had been decllned all the way up the bay were permltted to take llnea and warp the shlp Into her berth. Then the crowd on the end of the pier made a wlld scram ble for places at the mlddle gangway. Pretty girlB cllmbe-d upon boxes and stood tler upon tler untll the place wae like an improvlaed am phltheatre. A nun with a blg ?ilk Amerlcan flag mounted the hlghest boxee. and. wavlng the flag. led the cheerlng aa the shlp waa Bwung In. lt waa 11:30 when ahe waa ln place. Captaln Faudelon stood by the gangway on the maln rjeck and ga\e his orders. The crowd halle-d him wlth three ch?era, and then some one aak?d: "What ls ihe matter wlth Baudelon?" There wan a mlghty raaaaaiMaj of "He's all rtght:" The gangplank was l/i place at 11:40. and the Captaln hlmself was the flret man to land He was enveloped in a blg ftir-lined coat and wore a fur cap. He recelved cheer after cheer as he walked to the pier. After him came the passen ajtrg, and the scene when they met their frtooda waitlng for them was like an emotlonal drama. Th* Vtaael came tip the Bay eauBjled by a flottl la of tugs at about 10 o'clock. The Ice ln the Xarmwa reached from sh->re t<> eh"re, and tbe 1 iiK--1elayed liner loomed up, high-slded and red funnelhrd. In the mldst of the grindlng lep eakam The Health i ffi.-.-r l.oailcd tbe *hlp. wlth DtpV tjaa Sanb >rn and L'Hommedleu, in order to clear h'T with the slightest pos#lble delay. A.

La QageoajBf was clear of (Juarantlne inslde of ten minutes after the Health offteers arrlved on All the way up the bay the steamer was graetad with a ? lioraa of stcim arMatlea from tugs and steamer?. i'aptain Haudeim made the follOWlBg offlclal statement to Mr. Forget regarding the accldent which had Majrad his ship: ' in the thlrd dav of our eoraga we broke the I'iaton rod.
