An Unparalleled Demonstration in the City and Harbor of Hew York. On Liberty Island The- Statue Tendered by Senator Evarta and EeceiTed bj the President.

Bartholin's Slasterplece. The Conception, zentlon and Erection of tlie Statue. Tha statue of "Liberty Enliglitenin the World." which has Just been nnTiled at New York, merits attention aa a matter of International Import. It Is literally an expression of love and friendship oa the part of the French people for those of America a grand monumental memorial of tha brave and generous aaceor eens by the French to the struggling Americana in their war for Independence more than a century ago. A few worda concerning THK H1STORT OF THIS STATUE will not be oat of place here.

One evening, in 186s, at the residence of M. Laboalaje, at Glavignr, Franoe, a party of distinguished persona was at dinner. Among the guests were Count Ferdinand da Lfssepa. the great canal builder; Marshal FeUlssler. the Crimean hero; Admiral Jaurea of the navy Bartholdi, the sculptor, and others eminent in letters, science, war and art.

The conversation turned on the subject of gradltude, particularly national gratitude. -Look as Italy, said Henri Martin. as a proof of what I say. I tell you. Messieurs, that there is no each feeling as lasting gratitude between nations." My dear returned LabotUaye, I think I can furnish you proof of the fallacy of your opinions.

I grans you that Italy has proven fickle In her feelings to ward Franoe, bat you must not forget that she has reasons for believing that France repaid herself for every act ot kindness dune her, and in this belief it is quite natural that she should be governed in her aotiona by wholly material oonslderatlona. I believe that the United 8catea of America have a genuine feling of gratitude for France. Both nations have had experience in common. The French and Americaa people have spilled their blood together on the same battle -field for principles of liberty dear to both. The American people revere the name of Lafayette and the volunteers who went with, him to aid them in their atrnargle for independence." This sentiment," said Xaboulaye, "in my opinion, arises not merely from the service rendered, but from a fraternity of feelings, a community of efforts and emotions, and when hearts have throbbed together in common cause, dear to both, something always remains among: nations aa well aa among individuals.

There." continued the philanthropic Laboalaye, is the basis of the sentiments that the United Btatea feel to ward the French, an Indestructible basis. and I believe that if -France were to present some memorial of the part we took aa a nation in their struggle for independence, the Americans would reRDond to the feeling which prompted the gift." Bartholdi received an Inspiration from that conversation, and ont of it finally grew this memorial statue. After the Franco- German war the ssnlptor visited the United States, ana after examining Sew York Har bor selected Bedloe'a Island, near the entrance of the harbor, aa the site for his statue. On returning to France, through the efforts of Lesseps, Lafayette, grandson of the nistorlo Marquis; Remusat the poet, and others, the Fren on-American Union for the raising of a and to complete the statue was formed. Work was commenced on the actual construction of the statue in 1875.

the birth of the glgantio goddess being formally celebrated by a dinner at the Hotel of the Louvre on the 0th of November of that year, given by the members of the French-American Unioo. Gen. Washburn, the American Minister, was also present. The statue was completed In 183. On the 4th of July.

1884, it was officially presented to the people of the United States by Mr. Lesseps, acting for the French-Amecloan Union, and was received ou the part of the American people by the Hon. Levi Pi Morton, United States Minister at Farts. In Jane, 1889, it was landed at New York, packed In sections having been transported; by the French, man-of-war Isere. afatiit or xkw tobxxss.

This statue, which cost more than a million francs and the study and devotion of ten years of the sculptor's life, was presented free to the American people, but aa it was to be aet up at the nation's greatest elty, It was virtually to become solely and singly the possession of that city. It was necessary to provide a suitable pedestal for it on Bedloe'a Island, the site chosen for it, permission to occupy the place being granted by the United Btatea Government, which maintained a fortress (Fort Wood) there. It required 260,000 to furnish the pedestal, and notwithstanding the statue was to contribute solely to. the honor and glory of the) elty of New York, lta people displayed such apathy and Indifference to it that they utterly refused to subscribe the money necessary to the construction of the pedestal. Every appeal to their pride and patriotism failed.

It actually seemed aa It New York spumed the magnificent gift, and other citiea were bidding for It when tha New York World undertook the task of raising the $100,000 which, was lacking. This was In March, 18SS. The World mad appeals for assistance for this grand project all through the length and breadth of the nation, and In a few months the requisite sum waa raised. To the New York World, next to the French people themselves, tha elty ot Hew York owes this grand monument. TSB MDISTAL, which is bails of solid masonry on a foundation of concrete, otaada In the midst of Fort Wood, whose bastions and redoubts environ It, producing an artistlo effect.

The pedestal proper at its baa ia sixty-two feet square and begins at an elevation above tide-water of Blxty-nve feet. Ia tha middle of each faee, Jos on a level with, the proposed tar-race, ia a doorway, five feet wide and thirteen teat high. On each aide of every door is projecting disk of atone on which tha arma ot the United States and ot Franoe will be cut In relief. Above the doors la broad band ot atone running around the pedestal and broken late forty smooth-faced medallions, tea oa eaom aloe, en which the eeata-ox-arass ef the various Btatea wfU pro bably be plaeed. Still higher than the medallions are four large panels.

33 feet and 6 inches long and 5 feet and 3 inches from top to bottom. These will also be covered with appropriate inscriptions and designs. It was built under the superintendence of Gen. Chas. P.

Btone, late of the United States Army. THE BTATCB is made of heavy sheet copper, hammered into shape to fit each respective section of this model and riveted together. The gigantic figure is hollo with a staircase inside leading to the top. It is made stable and strong by means of numerous cross braces of iron, with iron stanchions, which ran down 25 feet into the foundations. It is believed to be able to resist the violence of all forces of nature save an earthquake.

The colossal in art, it is generally understood, can be used to express only a limited number of ideas. It must represent, if possible, some vast abstraction, and carry with it always the suggestion of power, majesty or inflolty. Its peculiar effect Is that of the physically sublime, touched and heightened by the idea of moral sublimity. And to it is not the mere legendary goddess, with more than manly strength and more than womanly statellnesa. dear-eyed, and wise and patient, like Minerva, that the ecalptor means really to represent.

The figure of a graceful, deep-browed woman la there, whose richly-pleated robes hang In soft rounded folds about her shapely breast and limbs, the pure, clear face, and the luxuriant hair crowned with a sparkling diadem of light. Bat through it ail shines, as it ought to shine, the sugges tion of that eager passion tor liberty for which, the men at the revolution spUled their blood In Fiance and America, and which, it In modern days only one of a sheaf of memories, is for both countries the most prized ot them all.

the most distinguished living sculptor of colossal statuary, was born in Colnrar in 1833. He started life as a painter, bet soon turned his attention to sculpture.

28. The rain storm which prevailed all day yesterday ceased last night, bat the weather this morning waa very un-promlMng tor the festivities which were to take place iu connection with the inauguration of the Bartholdi statue of Lloerty. A slight fog hung ever the city and obscured in a measure the elaborate decorations of buildings with which the elty had been beautified. French and American flags were flying from housetops and windows in every direction, and a general holiday appearance was presented. It is estimated that fully a million of people took part la the festivities to-day.

The wet pavements, the mud, the chilly atmosphere and general discomfort were ne appreciable bar to public enthusiasm. Streams of. workingmea and women who usually tread tne streets in the early morning hours, carrying dinner paila and lunch basket were to-aay as early astir, bat with the difference that they wore their holiday attire and their faces had expectancy written in every feature. From a boundary line east and west, at the river front, the drift of people moved until when earing the line ot march THE HUB HtJJfAsrrT dammed itself np against the police lines, who turned bacs tne constantly flawing stream to near by avennea. Meanwhile the favored dwellers In nooses en Fiita Avenue arose at their leisure, and the servants hung out bunting on the fronts of the brown stone dwellings, where It fluttered In occasional and bitter gusts ot wind.

Oa nearly every street ear uniformed troops and members ot societies were early on toelr way to their places ef rendezvous. Gorgeously attired musicians trailed the streets in silence, and dram corps beet the step for Grand Army posts upon, sodden, drum heads. The drapery ot flags and bunting vpem the elty buildings and upon the Federal bulld-inu flapped fitfully in the moist air while the banners on thousands Tf tall staffs trailed idly or streamed lustjly out In acrrant puffs of wind that supplied Intensity for their steadiness In their courses. The procession was to have started at 9 o'clock, but at that hour It had only begun to form. The Filth United Btatea Artillery.

Both aides of the avenue were crowded with people who waived their hate and applauded loudly as the President's carriage passed.

On all the side streets from Central Park down to the reviewing stand on -Twenty-fourth street, the diflVrent military compa nies ana civic associations were lormea. The carriages containing the President and his Cabinet were followed by a battalion ot 260 policemen. The L. 8. Naval Brigade came next, with the Engineer Corps, which consisted of 2M men.

He was greeted with hearty cheers as be drove down the avenue and drew up in front ot the Btand. Secretary Bayard rode in the carriage with him.

BARTHOLDI I waa then caught np on both the reviewing ana grand stands, the crowds on the ave nue curbings up and down heard the name and passed it to the people in tne park and side streets until, the heavy air was shaken wua a roar of cheering that must have gladdened the heart of the Aiaatlan, who bowea his head in acknowledgments. And then, in carriages, driven to the rear of the stand came President Cleveland and his partv.

Instantly he was recognized and again the crowds saook the welkin with their shouts, and from the housetops ana windows of the near by hotels same shouts and the sound ot clapping hands to swell tiie roar of sound that like a wave broite over the park and flowed down the streets and along tne avenue wnere, in tne misty uistance to the north, the trappings and pomp of the head of the column waa seen iust moving on its course. The Signal Service operator of the Twenty-elgnth Street Station makes known the lact that tne procession was moving uy a waving flag, and the pressure increased toward tlie avenue and tne people became packed still more closely if that were possible. On the reviewing stand President Cleveland was presented with tnree handsome baskets of flowers, tae gut ox young lauies in the city. Aa the various military and civic orgaslza- tioDS-passeu tney saluted by dropping their colors, and the Pi esident responded oy lifting his hat. Nearly every band in passing piayed the Marseillaise," the French na tion! hymn.

as soon as the procession had passed PrniitE Cleveland and party were driven to the North Hirer and were taken on board the Dispatch. From the nost office the papade marched dawn Broadway to Wall street. The throngs of people seemed to increase at every block. At Wall street the parade wended lta way to Pearl street, and thence to tne Battery. Here myriads ot people had congregated to greet It.

A dense fog that threatened from early morning, a drizzling ram and a cutting northeasterly wind desorioes Liberty Day upon the water.

A few minutes after 1 o'clock tha ami, t. mr.a fired, and the flagship Gednay weighed anchor, swung around and started down stream. Close in her wage followed tha squadron of vessels, all steamers.

Had the day been fine the naval parade must have been grand. One fact that was particularly noticeable was that all tne steamers of the English and German lines in tne shins aloa-g the river were decorated from stem to stern with ensigns and colors. At 1:45 the leading Teasels of the fleet en-teref the upper bay and through the fog bank could be discerned the nrdMatal of th- lmmenae statue. Five minutes later the Gedney had steamed up so close that LIBkRTT ISLASD was easily distinguished and then the torch of the statue, where the fog was thickest. loomed up.

COUST ZB LESSEPS SAID: Citizens ef America I hasten to accept your gracious invitation extended by the government of the great American Republic It is a generous idea on the part of him who presided over the erection of the statue ot Liberty. It honors equally mhoee who have conceived aad those who understood it in toe acceptation.

Liberty enlightening the world. A grand beacon raised amidst tha waves on the shore of free America. In disembarking under its light, one would know that he treads on the soil where individual initiative has developed its full strength, where progress is a religion, where great fortunes become popular by their eharltabie enterprises in encouraging education and Kcienee and scattering abroad fruitful seeds for the future. Yon are right, American citizens, to be proud of your go-ahead. In speaking to yon of the sympathies of France, I know I expreaa the thoughts of all my compatriots.

There is no painful or sad memory between the two oountries but one solitary rivalry that of progress. We accept your inventions as yea accept ours witnoot Jealousy. You love men who dare and persevere. I say I nke you. go ahead we understand each ether when I speak this language.

I feel myself at home when I am with you. Illustrious descendant! of the French nobility who crossed the Atlantio a hundred years age bring to you the aurora of your independence, the devoted co-operation of our national sympathy. They dreamed tor you great destinies, and their dreams have been more than realised. At the distance ef a century these sympathies have remained the same. Tne representatives of France to-day see America powerful and free, and they present to it this emblem to proclaim that she has grown great for liberty.

It gives me real Joy for me to speak to yon thus with open heart and to know that my words are received as those of a true friend. Soon, gentlemen, we shall meet again to celebrate a new eoaquest ef peace an revoir at Panama applause wnere the flag of the thirty eight States ot North America will be seen floating along with the banners of the Independent States of South America and will form in the new world for the good of humanity a peaceful and fruitful alliance ef the Franco-Latin and Anglo-Saxon races. Hon. Wm. M.
