VERY IMPOSING.
The Parade and Spectacular Exhibition
by the Patriarchs Militant.


CHICAGO, Aug.9 Thursday was tht
most important and imposing day in the
Patriarchs Militant cantonment, being
set apart for the grand parade
The first exercises of the day were ex-
emplifcations of subordinate degree
work in Battery d armory, for prizes,
by North Star lodge, of Minneapolis,
and lodges from Whitewater, Wis, and
Bloomington, Iowa.
At IL O'Clock the handsome and i'm
posing dress parade and inspection TOOK
place on the lake front grounds. with
about forty cantons in line. The great
stretch of green sward was ablaze with
the black, red, purple and gold of the
knightly uniforms, and the glitter of
FURNISHED steel.
Grand Street Parade.
In the afternoon the great parade was
formed and marched through Wabash
avenue. from Congress street to Twenty
first street, and back through Michi-
gan avenue. 1t was made up as fol-
lows:
Battalion of police, Chicago zouaves,
Generalissimo Underwood and staff,
squadron of Hussars Gen. j. G. l..
Pugh), troop of Lancers Gen. A. J.
Woodbury., organizations of tine First
and Second army corps Maj Gen.
James Nicholson) organizations of the
Third and Fourth army corps Capt.
Gen. Franklin Ellis, organizations of
the divisions OF the Mississippi, organi-
cations of the divisions of the Ohio, or
ganizations of the divisions of the Cum
berland, civic corps in command of Dep
uty Grand Sire Charles M. Busbec and
staff, Cook county lodges, Illinois lodges,
miscellaneous lodges.
At Night.
At night there was another great
spectacular demonstration in Lake
Front park, with military display for
nations, the comforting of the decora-
tion for chivalry for members of the
Rebekah degree, and grand exhibition
of pyrotechnics. A number of bands
furnished music, aided by specially
trained corps of trumpeters.
Not Running smooth.
The cantonmeut is developing numer-
GUS cases Of friction. The California and
other western cantons say they have
not been treated fairly in the matter of
railroad rates. Then there is wide
spread kick because the coupon tickets
attached to the excursion railroad tickets
only admit to the grounds and do not
entitle the holder to seat. Gen.
Underwood was asked what he had to
say about these complaints.
Il have nothing to do with this rail-
road business" he said, "and won't be
annoyed with it, | made arrangements
with the railroads for three-quarters
fare for the round trip for men in uni
form. AS part of that contract every
body taking advantage of these rates
was required to pay 81 in addition for
six coupons admitting to the grounds.
1t was by hypothecating the respective
receipts from this source that | was EN-
abled to raise the $4,000 for prizes and
the additional $4,000 for expenses.
Instructions concerning these matters
were sent to every canton and lodge two
months ago. Those who have followed
instructions have had no trouble. Those
who went to dickering with the rail
roads on their own hook may have had
trouble, but that is none of my affair.
Let them settle with the railroads"

defeat of the Guatemalan army by that

Barrillas, of Guatemala. has 1000 sol

ready to protect his fight from the
country. Anarchy reigns in Guatemala
and Gen. Barrundia has invaded the
country from the Mexican frontier.
The Salvador troops have gone back
TO the frontier to push on the invasion
of Guatemala. A diplomatic settlement

pected. Gen. Mirandi, commandant of
the forces Of Ayala and aspirInt to the
presidency Of Salvador, has been routed
and Salvador Is free from invaders.
The outrage by Guatemala in seizing
the arms ordered by Salvador from San
Francisco created great excitement.
Some assert that the seizure of war ma
terial in the harbor of San Jose was
agreed upon by the government of
Guatemala and the United States, but
this is not generally believed. Minister

TRYING sTRIKeRs.
A stubborn Fight Liable to Follow the
Arrest Of Picket Guards.


BINuHAMPToN, N. Y, Aug. Three
of the twenty-four striking cigarmakers
who were arrested for doing picket duty
and charged with disorde:iy conduct,
were discharged and one was fined. In
the latter case an appeal was immedi-
ately taken, and the case will be fought
stubbornly.
The recorder announced Thursday
that the remaining twenty cases would
lie dismissed but he stipulated that the
police who made the arrests should not
be prosecuted. The lawyers for the de-
PENDANTS agreed to this, but stated that
an action would be brought against the
police commissioners who ordered the
arrests.
A rumor that 1000 cigarmakers from
Pennsylvania had been sent here had a
depressing effect upon the strikers. but
when it was learned that the actual num-
Der was twenty-five the feeling changed.
The strike is now in its seventh week,
and is no nearer u settlement than it has
been at any time since it began.
