The Montana Contest.

A Chicago Tribune special from
Helena, Mout, says: "rhe Re-
publican Senators have definitely
decided to refuse the proposition of
the Democratic Senators to invcs-
tigate the Tunnel precinct election
case, giving as g reason that ii would
be discourteous to the House of Re-
representatives. for the Senate to
interfere in a question which related
10 seats of members of the latter
body. 1t is stated that the same
proposition for an Investigation was
made by the Democratic House to
the Republican House. Tho later
proposition was kept secret until
yesterday. The deadlock stands as
on the first day of the session.

Justus Rathbone, the founder of
that splendidly successful order, the
knights of Pythias, is dead. The
Tattler met him here In October.
He was suffering from a carbuncle
at the back Of his neck, and was al
most unable to stand, yet he lectured
in our neighboring cities, Jefferson
vile and Salem, aud none could tell
from his kindly, humorous and pa
thetic talk, that he was undergoing
the mort excruciating pain. His
kindliness aud good humor rose
above his affection. heard later on
that he was taken SO Ill in Northern
Indiana that he could not proceed !;
IL Is the carbuncle which killed him,
I think, coupled with his efTortsto
keep up. In person, the celebrated
man was tall, portly, with a genial
face, heavy, blonde mustache aud
brown hair, and looked forty-Gve
years old, but was sixty. The won
d5rful growth of Pythianism was as
much an establishment 10 him as to
any one else. When be founded II,
it was social club at Washington,
merely. But there was something
in II that took like wildfire, and il
soon overran the country. No one
connected with the first lodge
dreamed Of founding powerful Or

THE BIG CIRCUS PARADE.
Barnum's Chariots Make Great Pageant
ON the Streets.

Barnum's Chariots Make Great Pageant
ON the Streets.
Barnum and the Centennial
To be struck by two such attractions on
the one day is glory enough for any town.
That's Jersey City's happy lot today.
And each provided the people with a
parade to feast their eyes upon! The
Centennial with a display on her river
front and Barnum's with street pageant
of splendid proportions and gorgeous at
tractiveness. 1t is only the cavalcade
that is to be spoken of here. The streets
were so crowded that it was almost inn
possible to pass out of the Office door while
procession swept past the establishment
of The JERSEY CITY NEWS. Cages of
beasts were in the line, covered so that
the animals could not be seen; but they
made their presence known by their noise
the lion by his roars, the hyena by his
hideous shrek, the jackal by its yelp. The
steam caliope made music after its own
unique fashion. The elephants strobe
solemnly along, utterly unimpressed by
the enthusiasm they aroused.
There were regiments of horses prancing
as they might in the ring, and camels
drawing coach loads of employees, and
women charioteers holding the lines
brayely from their Roman chariots, over
fiery steeds that didn't seem to be very
fiery under the eyes of the crowd
They all moved up Montgomery street
to the old ball grounds on Grand street,
where three-fourths of the town followed
them this afternoon.

the windows are draped as in the front
and two immense flags are spread to their
fullest extent across the top. From every
window in the Postoffice building floats a
flag and the bunting and streamers ap-
pear in profusion
The decorations on the Equitable Build
ing consist simply of a large rOsette placed
at the top of the building and thirteen
streamers, about 300 feet long, which are
hung from the rosette to the sides of the
building and caught in a loop by ropes OF
red, white and blue. The corridor OF the
building, where the President makes his
entrance, has no decorations, but in the
rooms of the Lawyers Club, where he is
to be rendered a luncheon, there is a
slight depression from the rule. The table
is lighted by 102 electric lights, and the
center is covered With mass of beautiful
flowers.
Uptown the hotels and buildings are all
in holiday attire, The arches, placed at
different points along the line Of tomor-
rows parade, are four in number. First
in point of beauty is the one situated at
the junction of Broadway, Fifth avenue
and Twenty-third street. 1t is " feet
high and spans 100 feet of the roadway.
Paintings of great men of the country
are hung above the arches and on top,
above the keystone, is statue of Wash
ington on horseback, fanked on either
SANAC w q AdA SSAAO lActo
spire in each corner, eight spires in all,
and each spire is % feet high. In the
inches of the columns are placed statues
of soldiers and sailors in the costume of
100 years ago.
The arch at Fifth avenue and Twenty
sixth street has three spans and is 100
feet wide; 1t is the same height as the
other arch and is decorated in somewhat
the same manner
At Fifth avenue and Washington square
is an arch made to represent stone. 1t is
sixty-two feet high, and its span is forty
feet. Laurel wreaths, flowers and bunt-
ing form the decorations.
One of the most elaborate pieces of
street decoration in the city is the Mer-
chants Arch, near the foot of Wall street.
The arch rises from the curbs and spans
the street, the centre representing the
keystone, being forty feet above the pave
ment. In its draping silk is as freely used
as bunting, and the eagles, shields, por-
traits, flags, streamers and draperies of
national colors are arranged in accord
ance with designs prepared by some of
the most skilful decorators in the world.

Three hours before the time scheduled
for the President to leave Elizabethport
| currents of patriotic humanity, in gala
day attire, drifted down to the Bergen
Point shore of the Kill Won Kull
In the roadways there were steady
streams of all sorts of vehicles, from the
ponderous carriages of the rich to lum-
bering trucks and fish peddler's rigs.
Hundreds of perambulators were also
visible in the streets.
Almost every child carried one or more
flags. while their elders displayed the ma
tional colorS in knots of ribbon, centennial
medals and miniature flags.
When the booming of guns, screeching
of steam whistles and changing of bells
announced that the party had embarked
sons and one thousand vehicles were
massed along the waterfront.
The Kill-von-Kull was an animated
panorama. The fleet almost hid the
water from sight, aud the .ferryboat Lark
was compelled to make long detours on
its trips between Port Richmond and
dergen Point.
AT twenty minutes to twelve the Dis
patch, decked with bunting from stem tC
stern and from tuck to deck, steamed
swiftly with the ebb tide along the
Bergen Point shore. From Starin's ship
yard at Port Richmond, salute Of
twenty-one guns was fired by battery.
