Reception of the llartholdi Statue.New York,June

—The programme

ofexercises, sent yesterday in these dis-patches, for the formal reception of Bar-tholdi's great statue of Liberty, was faith-fully carried oat to-day, amid immense en-thusiasm, both on land and water.

[SECOND DISPATCH.]

New York; June 19th!—

The feature ofthe exercises in honor of the Bartholdistatue was the immense crowd which tilledBroadway all the morning and jammed thestreets and lined the sidewalks. On nopublic holiday heretofore has so ranch en-thusiasm been manifested. In lowerBroad-way the windows of every house were oc-cupied by parties of ladies and gentlemen.The police had a dif%ult task to keep thepassage ways clear and the procession,which" started from the Battery, was verymuch delayed. Itwas an hour and a halfbehind hand. This seemed tohave no per-ceptible effect on the hourly increasingthrong of citizens, who waited patiently inthe boiling sun to welcome the foreigners.The parade in itself was not imposing.Small detachments from the Sixty-ninth,Seventy-first and Twelfth Regiments com-posed the militaryescort, not a single crackcity regiment taking part. The Frenchguests received an ovation on the line ofmarch, cheers anil hand-clapping soundingon every baud from the beginning to theend ofthe parade. Admiral Lacojlibeandstaff; of the French (lag ship Lafiore, camein for the lion's share of welcome, and asthey drove up Broadway were kept busybowing in response to greetings.

SO GEKMAS FLAGS—ALMOST A RIOT.

New York, June 20th—

m.—It was

very noticeable yesterday that the Germanestablishments, steamship offices, Con-sulate, etc., displayed no flags during theparade. OnlyAmerican and French colorswere visible anywhere. Many pickpocketswere arrested.

Atthe Produce Exchange some memberspelted the Sixty-ninth (Irish) Regimentwith dough and other article. MajorDuffy galloped Jover to the policeSergeant in command and complained,and said trouble might follow if theassaults were not stopped at once.The.'i Duffy rode off to attend to some-thing else, and the pelting began again, allstones by this time, so Daffy says. Hereturned and told the Sergeant ii1 this bus-iness was not stopped at once he wouldsend up a couple of files of men into theExchange and stop itJiimself. The crowdin the street got excited, and partisans of theSixty-nine and others, who had witnessedthe behavior of the produce merchants,began fusillading the occupants of the bal-cony with egg?, which they got fromneigh-boring groceries, and heavier missileswhich they picked up in the streets. -Onebroker, itis said, was struck with a stoneand hurt. Daily then called upon Eldiidge,Chairman of the Floor Committee, andforcibly called his attention tothe indignities heaped upon hismen. '"I want it stopped." shouted theMajor, "or Iwill not be responsiblefor my men.1 The Major was cheeredwhen he returned to the street. A riotseemed imminent, but it was stayed by theappearance ofthe police. A score of ofli-eers from the First Precinct moved intotheExchange with clubs down, and made acharge on the offending brokers. Anoffi-cer of the Exchange, said to be the Presi-dent, asked that the balcony be cleared ofevery one, and the police proceeded toclearit inshort order.

Grain Estimates.Washington, June 19th.

—The printed

report of the Agricultural Departmentgiving the condition of the various cropsas shown by June returns is just out, andcontains few points concerning wheat notgiven in the synopsis furnished on the 10th.Ii is stated that the general average condi-tion is 62 for winter wheat, the worst offi-cial showing since 1868. In18S1 itwas 74and 75 in 1 -.'i.!. while in the great crop yearsof 1880 and 1882 it was 99in June. Fromclose study of the returns it is certain thata targe portion of the reductions in area isdiscounted in the returns of condition, ye;in a few States it is evident that furtherallowances must be made for the unantici-pated reduction of that area by replanting.Future conditions, or misconceptions ofpresent appearances, or both together, arenot likely to change the total wheat cropsOf the country more than 10,000,000 bush-els above or below the estimate given of

100,000 bushels. Still, disasters priorto harvest, or wet weather afterward, mightpossibly make greater reductions.

"Conscience

Fund."Washington, Jjine 19th.

—A letter, tell-

ing a rather remarkable story, has just beenreceived at the Treasury Department, irwhich was sent a large sum ot' money forthe conscience fund. The writer was atelegraph operator, who, in 1866, whilemaking a voyage from New York to SanFrancisco, formed a friendship for a fellowpassenger. On- arriving at his destinationhe went to work ina telegraph office, andon his first day of service lie received a tele-gram from the Chief Inspector of the Post-office Department, warning the authoritiesto look out for one Charles Emmons, whohad stolen $5,000 from the New York Post-office. The description convinced the oper-ator that his new friend and Emmons wereidentical, and he slipped the telegram intohis pocket. Afterwards he showed it toEmmons, who Confessed and promised toreform ithis secret was kept. A few monthslater he died in Nevada. The letter endsas follows:" A few years ago, by the deathof arelative, 1 came into possession of alittlefortune. Idesire, therefore, •to makerestitution to the Government of Emmons'peculation, in which Iconsidered myselfan indirect accomplice. The sum inclosedis the amount of principal and interest todate.' 1
