At a few minutes before 8 o'clock a little cloud of light smoke floated out above the bie yellow forward funnel of the Philadelphia. At the Bamo time from the funnels of thirty- Diie other men-of-war in the Roads came ARMORED CRUISER PHILADELPHIA. AMERICAN FLAGSHIP AND LEADER OF THE FIRST LINE. other little puffs of smoke. Gradually thej grew in volume until by '.> o'clock the whole fleet was puffin? forth like the chimneys of some manufacturing town. Last night at sunset the Bra zilian fleet, consisting of the cruisers Aquidiban, Tiradentes and Kepubiica, Dame in the Koads and dropped anchor below the English fleet. The first sa luting came from the Aquidiban, which belched out a welcome to the Italian admiral, and ran up his flatr at So'clock. From early this morning the signaling of orders had beeu continuous, and sometimes had been supplemented by the visit of one of The Little Launches from the flaeship bearing some special aider. The whole programme, how ever, had been carefully prepared, and each commander knew what his position in the formation was to be, and only awaited the order to trip anchor. At 9:15 o'clock the Philadelphia's an chor came slowly out of the water, and at the same time a slight agitation of the water at her stern showed that she was in motion. The tide at this time was at its young ebb, and the ships of the fleet lay with their noses turned up the Roads, pointing toward Newport News. The Philadelphia moved up llowly at first, and then, gathering speed, passed more quickly down to ward the westerly end of the Roads. In another moment the Newark was under way. behind the Philadelphia. She was followed by the Atlanta. Then came the dandy ban Francisco, the Bancroft, Benniueton and Baltimore. Then Ad miral Walker's flagship, the Chicago, joined the procession. After her came the Yorktowu, Charleston, Vesuvius, ana Concord. As soon as the Chicago tripped anchor the big flagship Blake got under way, and, turning almost on her heel?, start ed clown the Roads to assume her posi tion of honor at the head of the star board column of the fleet The other Englishmen got under way at the same time, and followed Belli ud the Bl ike, ns the Vesuvius, the last of the American fleet, dropped Into the line. The Hollander Van Speyck trailed along after her. Then came the Ger mans, with the Kaiserein Augusta and the Zeadler. The Philadelphia, at the head of ihe column, proceeded for a mile, and then, rounding the entire fleet, started down the Roads. The line following the Blake was composed of, besides the English shins, the .Russian General Admiral and lleynda, the French Arethuse and Jean Bart, the Italian JEtna and Giovanni Baussan, and the rear was brought up by the j Brazilian Aquidiban, Tiradentes and Bepublica. At 10 o'clock the whole fleet, in two regular lines, passed in review before the thousands on the wharves, boats and ramparts of the fort. The sight ] was so beautiful and impressive that the crowd looked on in silence. It took j something to disturb the serenity of the scene, and it was furnished by the little torpedo boat Gushing. When the last 01. of the Americans was passing the ! fort, cheers were heard away down Be- j yond the hotel. The crowd along the ! way took it up and in a moment the j Gushing came along like Salvator in the stretch. The outgoing ships were mak ing about eicht knots an hour and the Gushing, which con go twenty-four, caught up with them as if they were anchored.

Not a pull erf smoke followed l>y the report t<> which people have become accustomed was forthcoming. Later on it was learned that Admiral Gberardi bad requested Col.

The message was not received until just as t-tie ships started, ami the water battery at the foit had thirty-six u r uiis all primed and ready tor t lie salute. With the going of the ieet the clory lias departed out of Old Point Comtort. At neon nothing but a dense bank of smoke on the horizon was left of the glamor and display of the past three weeks. All the details of the departure were carried out to the letter. The preparations had been so carefully made tli.it this morning the huge Beet sailed out with as little ceremony and as easily as a ferry boat i;oes through a trip to Moboken. 'For a few days more the sirls who have contributed so much io the loveliness of the scene will be here; but now that the officers nave gone the place has no more attraction for them. The cry now is, "On to New York.' 1 AT NEW YOUK. ' The Fleet Will Anchor in Lower I Hay This Morning. New Yobk.

A Duluth Deputy Sheriff Holds a Crowd at Bay, Standing in a Shanty Loaded Down With Dyna mite. Speeinl to the Globe. Duluth, Minn., April 24.— Deputy Sheriff W. 11. .lohnsou is a new appoint ee of Sheriff Sharvis, of this county. and has proved that he is as brave as a lion. While on the Mesaba range look ing for blind pigs Johnson discovered a notorious character named Harrington, alias McDonald, in tiie act of selling liquor without a license to Wolf & King's men, at Columbia Junction. on the Duluth, Missabe & Northern road, and in a moment jumped on him and put the handcuffs on him. In less than five minutes a crowd of laborers swarmed into the trail shanty, broke down the door, and rescued the prisoner, who started to run with his cult's on. John son drew liis srun and shot the man on the head, grazing the temple and stun ning him. Johnson recaptured him and dragged him into a shanty where there were six kegs of black powder and twelve boxes of dynamite. The mad dened crowd gathered about, shouting that they would blow up the building. Johnson answered back, as he bravely stood iiis ground: "Blow and be d— d; my prisoner goes witn me." At this juncture tiie foreman came to the res cue, and said h? would shoot any mem ber of the mob if any attempt was made to rescue the prisoner. Johnson orought his prisoner to Duluth tbia morning. Snow at LSraincrd. Special to the Globe. Bbajhkrd, Minn., April 24.— Several inches of snow have fallen here since morning and the storm is still raging. TOOK THE EOGE OFF. Cleveland's Statement Dis pels the Danger of a Fin ancial Flurry. The Reserve Simply to Be Treated as So Much Cash. New York Bankers Consult With Assistant Treasurer Jordan. Rumors That the Bankers OfTered $20,000,000 of Gold. Washington*. April '24.— The author itative statement of Mr. Cleveland yes terday in which he announced the pres ent and future action of the administra tion in relation to the use of the gold reserve has taken the edge oil the ex citement that followed the act of tho secretary of the treasury in dipping into the reserve fund. If there has been any danger of a financial Hurry, that danger appears now to have past. Under the interpretation of Mr. Cleve land's statement, the reserve is to be treated simply as so much cash in the treasury, and whether the aggregate rises or falls a few million a day, be comes a matter of little concern. Con sequently very little interest was man ifested today at the department in re gard to the financial situation. Some offers of the yellow metal were received from the West and accepted, and Treasurer Jordan, at New York, it was reported, had also received a considera ble amount of gold certificates. If the present demand for gold abroad is continued the point will probably be reached where the banks will no longer give up their gold unless they get bonds in return for it. Before issuing bonds Secretary Carlisle will orobably make quite a hole in the reserve. How low he will let the amount of gold in the treasury tall before he takes steus to replenish it by the sale of bonds is not known, but his reluctance to issue the bonds is so well understood that it would not be surprising if he allowed Fully Hall' or the Keserve, or even more, to be exhausted before resorting to the sale of bonds. The president on tne other band, is under stood to favor an early issue of bonds, and the matter will be one of the prin cipal topics of discussion at the cabinet meeting on Tuesday. It is understood certain Democratic senators have advised against the issue of bonds for political reasons, thinking the administration would lay itself open to the accusation of unnecessarily in creasing the bonded dt?btof the country. On the other hand, it is urged by others that an early issue of bonds would be a good stroke of policy, politically, on the argument that the condition of finance which necessitated the resort to the sale of bonds was the result of Repub lican mismanagement, especially during the Keed congress, when they had both houses of congress and the presidency, and passed the Sherman silver purchase bill, which, it is alleged, has caused all the present difficulty. Shortly before the passage of the "Sherman law the treasury held, in round numbers, $177, --000,000, or 577,000,0i»0 more than the reserve fund. The Sherman law was approved by President Harrison July 14. 181)0, and immediately after the "amount of gold in the treasury began to be reduced. Secretary Carlisle left the treasury department early this afternoon. He ! could not be seen in regard to the re port from New York that at a con ference with New fork bankers Sub treasuier Jordan had received 520.000, --000 in gold from the bankers in ex change for greenbacks. Among the older treasury officials who served under Mr. Jordan while lie was United States treasurer, he is held in high esteem as a man of ideas and fruitful in resources, and they believe he will be successful in his undertaking to replenish the gold in the treasury. Cleared Jlio Atmosphere. New York, April -24.— The explicit statement of President Cleveland that the governncnt would continue to pay out gold for treasury notes as well as for greenbacks; that it had never had I any other intention, succeeded in par tially clearing the financial atmosphere today. That the balance of trade, how ever^ is still against this course, was shown by the fact that {850,000 more gold was taken from the subtressury this morning for export. Half of it was paid in for treasury notes. This sum, with what was taken las; week, luit not sent. will, it is believed, i>e shipped to morrow or Wednesday, the total amount to be forwarded being in the neighbor hood of four millions of dollars. ••it is expected," said one bank presi dent, "that we shall continue to ship H.0O0,0(K) or 15,000,000 of gold a week until the demand is over— that is. until the balance of trade is reversed, or until some of our unmarketed produces are sent forward and can be drawn against." Conrad N. Jordan took charge of the suhtrcasury this morning as assistant i treasurer. J. Edward Simmons, presi dent of the Fourth National bank; Henry \V. Cannon, president of the Chase National bank; Bray ton Ives, presidentof the Western National bank: Charles J. Canda.ex-assistant treasurer, and ex-Secretary Fairchild were in Mr. Jordan's private room. They Were in < onmltatlon with >) r. Jordan for some boars. During that time George 11. Coe, president of the American Kxchantre National bank, called and saw Mr. Jordan twice. Mr. Coe delined to be qiioted in relation to Mr. Cleveland's statement on the situa tion. Mr. Jordan and the bank officials mentioned were in conference until 2 o'clock. It is rumored that the New York banks, as the result of the confer ence, would turn f lii,ooo,OOU or t&MXX), --000 of gold into the treasury. The con ferrees uniformly decline in a most em phatic manner to anticipate any action of the government. Mr. Jordan re ceived representatives of the press, but declared th it lie had absolutely no in formation to cive as to the discussion between himself and the representative bankers. Mr. Jordan said [ "1 can only say we haVe had a discus sion and we have had all manner of propositions considered calculated to relieve the situation both in regard to the government and the banks. 1 can not report anything more definitely than that other similar conferences maybe held. No tixed date for such meetings have been made. As a result of today's conference, a communication will un doubtedly bo addressed to Washington, SAINT PAUL, MINN., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 25, 1893. to which a reply might bo made tomor row." The exports of gold to Europe tomor row will aggregate £?. 200,000, of which Ladenburir. Thalman A: Co. will sliiD 1500,000: Kuhn, Loeb & Co., $500,000: l.a/.ard Freres & Co., $1,000,000. and Heiaolbach, Ickelheimor & Co., $1,200, --000. Of this amount 52.100.000 will be withdrawn from the treasury today, of which $1,000,000 was paid for in treas ury notes and the remainder in green backs. tost on's oiler. Boston, April 24.— At a meeting of the clearing association, which includes all the national banks in this city, it was voted today that each should save half its reserve gold in exchange for legal tender notes. This sum. it is said, will amount to between §5,000,000 and 50,000,000. • Commended by- Allison. Dubuquk, 10., April 24.— Senator Al lison, who was one of the delegates of the United States to the international monetary conference which met at Brussels, when asked what he thought of Secretary Carlisle's course, replied: The secretary is acting wisely. lie ought not to issue bonds until the ne cessity becomes imperative to maintain the parity in value of gold and silver, or of paper 'circulation oased on either, or both. I see no present danger of gold going to a premium. I do not doubt that Mr. Carlisle will exercise bis au thority with wisdom and prudence and in such a way as to maintain the public credit.

Waters Pouring in Above Grand Forks Swell the Stream. Bridges Are in Danger and Prompt Measures Taken. Special to the Globe. GBAXD FOBKS, N. D m April 24.— The Red river is falling very slowly, but new danger from floating ice has arisen, and there is reason to believe that the fall of today will only be temporary. While the Red river is falling rapidly at Fargo, Cheyenne and Goose rivers are bank full and discharging an immense volume of water to meet Red Lake river here. A number of serious gorges have been formed above and below this city, which, when released, will increase the danger both here and at down-river points. A rain or extremely warm weather will endanger every bridge across the river at Grand Forks, and extra precautions are being taken. The Northern Pacilic bridge is in a critical condition, the south end having risen several feet, owing to insufficient ballast in the pier which sustains the draw. A great deal of ice is running, and men with pike poles are stationed on the Great North ern and Demers bridges to steer the cakes into the channel. The latter structure has been partially drawn all day, and fears are entertained tor its safety. The Great Northern has been ballasting its draw pier with massive rocks, and will probably save the property. The Red Lake bridge is in a fair way to go out, although it has been raised and care fully secured to neighboring trees. A blast was sent off at the Northern Pa cific bridge, which loosened the floe and sent it down stream at a rapid rate. The Red river is rising at Drayton, and has now reached twenty-six feet above low water mark. Ice is still solid in the center of the stream, and parties cross to and from by means of small boats. The rise last night was about a foot and a half, and it is thought by old timers will reach the 1882 "mark. Even with this additional influx, the inhabitants do not anticipate any serious damage in town, as it is on high land, being proba bly highest between there and Grand Forks. FOUND BUT BONES. Horrible Incineration of a Work man at a Smelt er. His Calcined Bones and a Sus pender k>!ic:cio Found. Special to the Globe. Great Falls, Mont., April 24.— 1t was the forenoon of April 3 that John Sandberg, one of the most skilled em ployes at the Boston and Montana smelt er, entered the roaster to make repairs, and was never seen again. Yesterday his calcined bones, one steel buckle and the steel parts of a jackknife were re covered in the maiti flue of the smelter. An inquest was held to day. He was said to have been drinking at the time and must have been in a dazed condition and crawled out the wrong end of the roaster and then wandered in some way that amounts almost to a miracle along the lateral flue to the main flue and then forty feet further towards the big chim ney "through gases where breath can hardly be drawn. The company at first refused to shut down, but finally, at the importunity of relatives, the fires were put out and the search made. WILSONS WOUND UP. Two Well Merited Penitentiary Sentences. Special to the Globe. Sioux Falls, 8, D., April 24.— 1t was Wilson day at Canton this afternoon.

The Lafayette avenue line to Phalen park to be continued via Maryland avenue and Earl street and the same to be in operation by July 1, 1894, or as soon thereafter as the title to the park is vested in the city. Another section of the ordinance pro vided that no sewers be constructed along the line of road to Como or Pha len. after the tracks had been laid, till 189G and IS9S respectively. The clause relative to lixteiullns the Rondo Line west three blocks from Dale street was inserted at the request of the commit tee. After some discussion it was de cided to report to the committee both orriinances,*the one presented by Mr. Munn and the one prepared by the committee. When the report of the committee was read in the board meeting, Aid. Cullen asked if it was the intention of the com mittee to make any recommendation as to which of the two ordinances should be passed. Aid. Coueland said the choice was left to the aldermen. Mr. Munn said the ordinance which the committee had presented would not be acceptable to tne company, for the reason that it provided for the council ordering new lines after March, 1895. The ordinance he had presented he was almost certain would be accepted by the company. Aid. Cullen wanted the time for ex tending new lines reduced from three to two years. The three years' clause was, be said, too long. It would practi cally make the time for completing any new Hue four years, as the company had the right to take a year to complete the line after it was ordered. Aid. Ilickman said he had noticed BAld. Iliekinan— "I AM NOT PREPARED TO VOTE TO NIGHT." that whenever it was time to vote for any street railway ordinance a new one was presented. He was not in favor of voting to accpt the ordinance presented by Mr. Munnatthe present time. Some times three or four words in an ordi nance make a great difference, slid he wanted time to look the measure over before he voted. Mr. Mono explained that lie wanted NO. 11*. I it distinctly understood that the ordi nance lie had tendered did not come from the railway company, but had L/cen prepared by him at the request of some of the members of the council. Aid. Copeland thought the ordinance Yr, Munn had sent in was a very fair one, and he would be in favor of adopt ing it. The opportunity ought not to be lost by the board, and he was in favor of its passage, with a few minor amend ments. It was then decided to take the Munn ordinance up section by section, and pass on each. Aid. Culleu moved to amend the first section by fixing the date at which new lines could be ordered at May, 1895. Franklin Suspicious. Aid. Franklin made a long talk in which he alluded to the council as the fly, and Mr. Lowry as the spider who was Inviting the members into his par lor. If the city passed the ordinance he said no"iiew lines could be built In three years, ana as a line to the har vester works would be needed the rail-*" way company would use this necessity ; as a club to have the transfers on thai interurbau line abolished. The com-] pany. according to Mr. Munn, would not press this matter now, but it was certain it would come up as soon as the ordinance was passed. The Stryker and Maria avenue lines were needed, and as the former line wss to be ex tended only sixteen blocks to meet the wishes of the citizen lie would insist it be built. Aid. Cullen moved the adoption of his amenment to have the time for or dering new lines rixea at May 1, 1895. Aid Ilickmah, who is very "anxious to have a better service on the Merriam Park extension of the Selby avenue line, said he could not vote for this or. the ordinance until some arrangements were made which would get the car 3 from that section down town. He sug gested they might come down the cable line from Milton street, as a trailer on the cable cars. Mr. Munn said this might be possible if there were a safety service on Selby avenue bill. He thought the committee might get together Saturday afternoon and arrange for the building of such a device. It was decided to have a meet ing haturday, at which time plans of the device will be submitted by the com pan y. Aid. Franklin, after the time for or dering new lines had been cut down to two years, moved that the entire section relating to the completion of the Maria and Stryker avenue lines be stricken, from the ordinance. This was done, and should this ordinance pass it will leave the present ordinance in force, and under this the two lines will have to be built before July 1 of the present year. After tiiis section had been stricken out, Mr. Munn said that the ordinance in its present shape would not be accepted by the company. The particular objection was that the company was not given a further extension of time for the com pletion of the Maria and Stryker avenue lines. The balance of the ordinance was gone through with and then the meas ures referred back to the committee on streets, who will report further at an adjourned meeting Monday night. In the meantime Mr. Munu will consult with Mr. Lowry, and at the regular meeting of the committee. Saturday, will report Mr. Lowry's decision on tha ordinances as amended. A PALTRY PITTANCE Was All Some of the Fathers Would Allow the Press Clnb. Aside from the street raiiway discus sion the aldermen did very little busi uess. The resolution, which had been the subject or a caucus, to give the Press club ?2,000 from the fund pro vided for the forwarding of tne city's interest, was the occasion of a long dis cussion and 'steen roll calls and amend ments. Aid. Ccnley moved the adoption of the resolution giving the club the full amount with which to help entertain the visitors. Aid. Copeland thought 5503 was Dlen- nferv^ # Xfzzzl// Aid. Zimmerman— "FIVE ntTNDBED is ENOUGH TO EIT TKIITAIX NEWSPAPEK MEN. ty, and Aid. Zimmerman seconded the motion. Postmaster Castle in a few remarks called the attention of the members to the importance of the convention, and the necessity from a standpoint of doing the best for the city to have the dele gates to the coming convention well treated and cared for. If only -*. >iK) were appropriated the plan of entertaining; the delegates would have to be aban doned, and the cities of Minneapolis ana Duluth would have the honor. The question was raised as to whether there was any money in the fund from which the amount could be taken. The corporation attorney said the 110,000 for the Grea t Northern celebration would come out of the fund of 1892, and that there wad money enough in the fund if the council desired to appro priate. Aid. Copeland said he had been one of a committee to entertain the road masters' convention in Minueapolis.and it only cost 81,100 to care for them. His idea was that if this money was given it would be followed by all the people interested in the conventions to be held here this summer asking for money. After five or six amendments and that many roll calls the resolution was killed by the votes of Aldermen Zimmerman, Copeland and Montgomery. ALD. cmULBN'S BOMB. He Takes the Wind Out of Some Very Windy Reformer*. Aid. Cullen introduced a resolution which for a moment knocked the would be reformers silly. The measure pro vided for the continuance of the exam ination of the city treasurer's books by the public examiner, and that additional help be secured, so that the work could be completed by July 15. The resolu tion also directed the examiner to re port each week to the ex-city treasurer as to the details of the report, and that a copy of the final report be sent to the ex-treasurer three days before it was presented to the couucil.
