(Vlector lxiiib was on hand to watch i operation of the inspection system, ind Gen, Clarkson, the Surveyor, made trip on oiw of the boats. The principal trouble was at the Battery, where the.

The passengers literally fought tfc-lr way to tne dodu rng axtxry rautra can carry about persons, and the Inspectors checked them off as they went oo board. In the raidst of the disorder tbe cry came rrom tne inspectors: "R-iiit off the oassenenra." With the greatest difficulty the police fotxlit their way inrougn tne crowa, ana the gangplank was raised. Eight hundred were left behind.

It was impossible to shut elf the rusn or tnooe who wauicu to sot away, and the first call for the reserves was sent to the Barge Office. -ld by Deputy Surveyor Conrys they charged along the sea wall and had to flc-ht their wav through the struggling thousands.

"You can't come en board," was the wrsVct of the new Inspectors. "I cuens -X t-an," said the Surveyor, snowing his badge, and he was then al-Scwetl to pass. The second call for the marine police xs -nt in at the sailing of the Mon. for the Highlands. When the boat reached the Cedar Street pier she 7 ag already well filled.

WHEN FREEDOM WAS WON Declaration Wasn't Signed on Any Particular Day Secretary's Whim. Responsible for the Fourth. This year bey-ond all others doubt is being cast upon the majesty of the firecracker as the one and only method of properly celebrating the glorious Fourth. This heresy is no longer confined to the ranks of the gray-beards and nervous invalids, but has even reached the stage of popular comment. However, practically no one outside the ranks of the history professor doubts that.

If one is to light a fire-cracker, July 4 is the correct occasion for that debatable operation. The general public, and particularly the gentlemen who have been denouncing the present-day university instruction, may be a trifle surprised to learn that while college students aren't taught that the Declaration of Independence Is a meaningless bit of parchment, they are told that it was not signed on the Fourth of July. In the grammar schools children are still shown thv picture Of the patriot fathers wearing their best velvet knee breeches and most dignified expressions of countenance. Katherina: around the table to sign, conscious that they were making his tory. John Hancock takes tne pen.

writes a smashing bold signature, and remarks that John Bull could read that without spectacles. For the college students. However, this is relegated into that portion of history as made by the poets." and' they are told to go back to the sources." The story of how the Declaration' of wun signed on tne Fourtn of July at all, as taught by unromantlc college professors. Is practically this; Be- portion of the colonists wanted to separate from Great Britain. The New York delegates to the Continental Congress were forbidden, in their official instruc tions, to vote for any measure wnicn might "obstruct the restoration of friend ly feelings.

But during the Winter or iv tne puDiicr opinion cnangeo. xne British fleet descended on the coast and burned Falmouth. and made similar attacks along the Virginia shore. Public indignation at these outrages ex. pressed itself in the Virginia Assembly.

when, on May 29. Richard Henry Lee was instructed to introduce a resolution of independence in the Continental Congress at Philadelphia. on June 7. Lee brought in the reolution that the united colonies ought to be free and in dependent States." The motion was de- Dated until June io, when, as jerrerson noted. certain colonies were not yet matured tor tailing iron tne parent stem, but that they were fast advancing to that state." On June 11 a committee of five was Instructed to prepare a suitable wording for such a declaration.

This committee was elected by ballot. Setter son receiving the greatest number of votes, then John Adams. Benjamin Frank lin, noger Sherman, and Robert Livingston. The writing was intrusted to Jefferson by the common consent of his fellow-workers, for, as Adams records, writings of hta were remarkable for their peculiar felicity of expression." So Jeffer son started in on his task. He had rented the second floor of a house at the corner of Seventh and Market Streets, belonging to a bricklayer named uraar.

Mere erson prepared the first draft. It was written on several sheets of legal paper. and is full of corrections, many made by tne author nunseif. ana a tew verbal changes made by Adams and Franklin. as is shown by the handwriting.

Jefferson then made a fair copy to present to Congress. The first draft he sent to Richard Henry Lee, who had been re called Virginia by the Illness of his wife. This manuscript, with a note In the handwriting of Jefferson vouching for it authenticity, was handed down in the Lee family till 1825. when the owner presented it to the American. Philosoph ical Hocietv or nuaaeinhia.

On July 1 Congress adopted Lee's res olution-that the colonies be free and independent States by a vote of nine colonies. South Carolina and Pennsyl vania voted against it; the two delegates from Delaware disagreed, ana tneir vote was divided and lost. The New York del egates expressed themselves as personal ly in ravor of tne measure, Dut were prevented from voting for it by their instructions forbidding them to obstruct re conciliation in any way. The committee then made its report. The meeting was adjourned and the discussion postponed till tne next day.

liut Derore tne opening of Congress on She 2d of July the delegates from South Carolina and Pennsylvania announced themselves as having befen and a third delegate from Delaware arrived and changed the vote of that colony. So when the discussion opened the passing: of the measure was assured. In the debate that followed various criticisms were made of Jefferson's wording, while the author sat mute and writhing under the threatened or nis pet pnrases. Adams was tne co- V. V.

I A Vfc U(l It, ll'l HUH I 1 UCI. But even that hardy fighter could not prevent the cutting out of a clause denouncing George 111. for protecting the Slavs trade and for hiring Scotch and fore lea mercenaries. But the Question of Independence was practically decided. The next a ay, juiy Adams wrote to his wife, Yesterday the greatest ques tion was decided wnicn ever was debated In America, and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men." And again: The second day of July.

1T7S, will a moat memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to bell.T. that It will be celebratod by succeeding venerations as the Great Anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated as th day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to. God Almighty.

It eurht to be solemnised with pomp and parade; wltn showe, gmmea, porta bells, bonfires, and illuminations -from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more. This letter of John Adams to his wife. the historians declare, proves conclusively that, as far as the actual separating from Great Britain was concerned, the patriot fathers themselves considered July second the eventful day. It Is the next step to aiscover now, men, ins general public has pinned its faith to July 4. The debata in Congress continued until the evening of July 4, when, according to tradition, the "fathers" marched up one by one and signed.

The Journal of Congress, though, tells a different story. At the close of the de bate the secretary was imrustea io nave copy of the engrossed, med bv the members, and entered in the Journal. Any one who has seen the ordinary rac simue copy oi tno declaration will recognise that the original from if wsa made -was this enarrossed copy ordered by and not Jefferson's draft, in which his "Inherent and inalienable rights'" had been changed to the more simple Inalienable. There Is no disputing the fact that the signatures were added to the engrossed copy. This was left open for signature till into August, so the heroic picture of the daring Congress solemnly signing one by one, after noble debate, must be replaced by a vision of the Secretary buttonholing the members wherever he could find them, from July into August, ana asking them to sign.

When the document was completed. however, and was to be entered In the Journals of Congress, the Secretary entered It on July 4, the date on which ho had been Instructed to have the Declara tion engrossed, ana not on juiy z. the day which Adams had predicted would be the Great Anniversary Festival. That is why, so the Iconoclastic history professors declare, the engrossed, copy happens to read, "In Congress, July 4, 1776, the unanimous declaration." Still worse, the Declaration was not read In Philadelphia until July 8. so there wasn't any first Fourth or July with the boy In the poem calling to his grandsire in the belfrv to ring for liberty." How ever, the historians will allow that It was rad on Julys from the platform which David Rittenhouse had erected from which to watch the transit of Venus.

Cnpt. John Hopkins, commander of the rirst isationai snip or war, did tne reading, and the crowds cheer. Even the' historians admit that much, only it wouldn't be July 4 at all, except that the Secretary of Congress happened to enter the document under that cat. THINKS NEPHEW MURDERED. Aunt of Bridegroom Found Hanged, Suspects He Was Poisoned.

An order was -signed yesterday by County Judge Edgar Jackson of Nassau County for the i exhuming of the body of Alfred Burt of Mlneola, L. the wealthy young farmer who was found hanging from. a rafter In his attic Thurs The order was signed upon 'the application of District Attorney Frank lin A. Coles, who was induced to make the request by Sarah II. Titus, an aunt of the dead farmer.

Mrs. Titus believes he did not die by hanging, but 'hat he was first poisoned. The body was burled Friday In Green field Cemetery and will be disinterred to-morrow. The stomach will be ex amined by Dr. Burns of Sea Cliff and Dr.

Claghorn of Mlneola, for evidences or poison. It there is round in the stom ach a trace of poison a warrant will lin be Issued for the arrest of some one who Is now under suspicion Meanwhile, orders have been given that a strict watch kept 'upon the movements of the person. So far as is known, Mrs. Titus's sus picion that her -nephew was murdered rests stronger than deduction. But her lawyer, Charles T.

McCarthy, of Glen Cove, considers the deduction so logical that he enlisted the interest of District Attorney Coles In the case. Burt was only; 3." years old. yet he is said to have amassed over 1100.000. He was frugal to the point of meanness, his acquaintances say. Early in June he married Miss Albrecht of Elmont.

Her lot was not altogether a happy one. ac cording to ner own story. Itwas his love of money that led to the quarrel that separated them, she declared. Last Sunday Bhe asked him for money with which to purchase sorce shades and curtains tor tneir home, i He refused, and warm words followed Ehe stated that he slapped her face and she left the house.

CHINESE OERGHAIITS ASK FOR PROTECTION Shopkeepers Declare Feeling Over the Sigel Murder Is De-" stroylng Their Business. new clue in Philadelphia Quong Wick Nam, the Interpreter, Says He Has Had Word That the Suspect Visited That City.

Quong Wick Nam. the Chinese inter preter, called on Capt. Carey ot the Horril-clde Bureau. yesterday afternoon and told him he suspected that Leon Ling, the missing Chinaman accused of the mur der of Elsie Stgel, was being hidden by Chinese missionaries In another city. The Interpreter declared that he had received word from Philadelphia that a Chinaman in disguise, believed to be Leon Ling, had been in that city four days after the mur der.

don't know if he is said Quong Wick -Nam. "I have found out that Leon Ling used to call at a mission ary house In Ray Street. That was two years ago, when he lived for a short time in Philadelphia. A Chinaman who knows several of his countrymen who go to that mission has sent me the word about Leon Ling having been there soon after the murder. He called at the Chinese quar ter, and.

I understand, stayed there a few days. I am very sure that Leon Ling Is be ting hidden in some near-by city. It will be hard for the police to find him, for the tong that Ling belongs to will help him all it can." Thinks Ling Slay Be In Philadelphia Qcung told Capt, Carey that he believed he could find out if Leon Ling was still In He promised to send a number of lebbygows, or Chinese "scouts" to that city and report to Capt, Carey as soon' as he heard from them. Qoung told the. reporters he had given various suggestions to the police that ought to have been valuable helps in catching Leon Ling, but that the police had been slow to act upon them.

The Interpreter told the police immediately after Elsie Higei body was found, he said, that they ought to send Chinese scouts to near-by cities, but that his suggestion fell upon deaf, ears, Qoung feels that if his advice had been followed out.

Quite different in manner, but with much of the same charm of arrangement. Is the study of Meadow Flowers," In which the golden rods are the only recognizable blossoms, but In which the calm splendor of the sunlit meadow delightfully expressed. Next to Mr. Twachtman, Theodore Robinson is most amply represented, and in a very satisfactory way. Particularly attractive Is the early painting of the Old Church at Giverney." where Monet lived, and where Mr.

Robinson painted with esnecial sest. Robert Reid shows The Brown Veil and The Green Door," which were seen at Washington and are good examples of his skill tn outdoor figure painting.

Mr. Metcalf by The Bower," and Frederick Church by his familiar Una and the Lion," In which the beast and the beauty are equally reposeful, not to say sleepy.

There are three very large marines by Frederick J. Wangh, which require more careful attention than It is now practicable to give to them. CHANCE GLANCE SAVED A LIFE.
