Il is estimated that $1,000 men were in
line of the Columbian parade in New York.
1t took fully six hours to pass given, point.
The parade was over fifteen miles long. The
troops which led the column had reached
Fity-ninth street and di banded and re-
turned to the lower part of the city before
the last four divisions of the parade had
started.
After the military pageant was over, the
crowds directed their steps to Central park,
where the Columbus monument was un-
yelled.
Hardly had the last strains of the music
died away frUm the neighborhood of the
Columbus monument at the Fifty-ninth
street entrance to Central Park, than New
York and her half million or more visitors
we're again packed along, and about another
line of parade and eager to witness another
pageant. The scenes of the morning at the
side streets and along the route of the pa
rade, on the grand stands, house tops and
gtoop6, In windows and on balconies, were
repeated. 1t seemed as If 5000, 600 instead
Of 8, 1000, 900 people had gathered to watch the
last great sight of the three days series of
Of events, celebrating the discovery of
America.
The parade was remarkable from the fact
that it made the wonderful showing of the
use of electricity could be put to, as power
and as a light.
First came the platoon of mounted police
escort, followed by the body of bicycllsts,
1000 strong, each bearing a flag and lantern
and led by Champion Zimmerman. After
the wheelmen came twelve heralds, mounted
On white steeds, and preceding Colonel John
g. Garnett, grand marshal, and his aides.
Following the grand marshal came the twenty
historical cars, or floats. The last float was
"A Car of Electricity" This masterpiece
was labelled ''The Hydra of Lightning

and Illuminated by 5000 electric lights. By

peared giant monsters head, filed with
electric lights. By lines of miniature inca
descent lights winged woman reined in the
monster. Thirty beautiful young girls in
metallic costumes stood on revolving disc
and reflected the thousands of lights on the
float. In the center of this group was a
globe with long, latitudinal lines, marked in
electric lights. 1t is safe to say such mag
nifcent float had never before been seen,
and the applause with which it was greeted
showed it was appreciated.
Indians to the number of 5000 closed up
the parade.

the banking fraternity in Chicago. A sub
scrlpnon list was displayed on Cashier Hoag's
desk at the First National bank, which stated

this matter Is likely to take even q more
substantial turn than this.
prominent bank officer sent the follow
ing letter to Thomas Scurr. president of the
First National bank of Coffeyville:
The whole country has been startled by
the bold and audacious attempt to rob the
two banks in your city. They have also
been horror-stricken to learn of the loss of
the lives of good citizens attending the at
tack, and have been gratifed that so many
desperate characters have gone to their last
account. Will you kindly write and inform
me as to the financial condition of the fami-
lies of these good citizens, and suggest the
best means for those interested to do some
thing tOgard relieving them from any en-
barrassments that naturally rise by the tax

Parades of All Kinds.

NEW YORK, October Livery nationality

tots and Chinese, will take part in the cele-
bration commemorative of the discovery of
America by Columbus held in this city dur
ing six days, ending Thursday.
1t Will surpaSS anything ever beheld. Moth
ing like it has ever before been seen and this
generation will not see it again. 1t is an
epoch in history. From old Castle Garden
to Harlem there is almost one continual line
of decoration not only of Broadway, but on
less prominent streets. The business blocks,
private dwellings, hotels and places of amuse-
ment are gracefully hung with bunting and
flags; the services Saturday and Sunday were
religious Saturday the Hebrew; Sunday
the Christians offered thanks to the Almighty,
each IN his manner of belief for having di-
rected Columbus to America and for the es-
tabllshment OF government of religious
freedom.
There was parade of students and school
boys Monday morning; it was forty thou
sand strong. Included in this parade were
three hundred Indian boys from the govern
ment schools at Carlisle. The triumphs of
Columbus were sung by chorus of eight
hundred.voices at the Carnegie Music hall in
the evening, and after that the great bridge
across the East river was illuminated. The
huge girder5 and monster cables were Int up
with glitter of light.
The naval parade will be the feature of to-
days programme. In that will appear war
ships from all the great bowers of the earth.

from France. Italy and Spain. swift cruisers
from the navies of Germany, Russia and
Austria, and the Philadelphia, Atlanta, Vesu-
VluS and MlantOnomOh of the white squad

A Treatv with COLUMBIA.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 10.-It is IN
derstOod that, after many months of negoti-
alton, Minister Abbott has succeeded in ne
gotiatlng with the Republic of COlum bia,
South America, a reciprocity arrangement
under tho tariff act covering the commercial
relations of that country and the United
States.
The minister of foreign affairs in the old
cabinet opposed the negotiations of treaty,
but the new vice president, who since the
last election has been acting IN the place of
President Nunez, an invalid, seems to have
favored the arrangement.
The failure to enter into a reciprocal ar
rangement with the United States before
January 1 last put Columbia with Hayti and
Venezuela in the list of those countries
against which, on March Is, retaliatory du-
ties on sugar, molasses, coffee. tea and hides
were imposed by proclamation of President
Harrison.

1t Was Not Allie Ogee.

WICHITA, KAN, October 1O.-Allie Ogee,
who was thought to have been the escaped
member of the Dalton gang, ana whom the
Coheyville party is pursuing, as it supposes,
IN the Territory, is in this city, and has been
here continually for the past nine months,
working in the Dolo packing house. He can
prove by hundreds of friends that he was not
been out of the city during the past month.
The posse is evidently after the wrong man.
Dr. Wood, of COffeyville, Ogee's foster
father, is here and says he cannot under
stand how Ogee's name became connected
with the Daltons. AS boys they knew one
another. but Ogee always disliked the Dal-
tons and they have never been together of

Judge Paxon's Charges to the
Grand IurX-


PuTsBURG, PA, October 12.-The unusual
spectacle of the chief justice of the supreme
court of the state sitting as a Judge in the
court of oyer and terminer of a county in the
state, was witnessed by large crowd in the
criminal court room, when Chief Justice
Paxon charged the grand jury as to what
constitutes treason against the members of
the Homestead strikers advisory committee.
His presence here in the case is because this
Is the first case of the kind in the state.
He detailed how the authority of the sher-
III had been denied, the arrival of the Pink
ertons, the riot following and finally the
mobilization of state troops, adding: "We
can have some sympathy with a mob driven
to desperation by hunge as in the days of
the French revolution, but we can have none
for Inen receiving exceptionally high wages
IN resisting the law and reSOrting to violence
and bloOdshed in the association of imagi-
nary rights and entailing such vast expense
upon the taxpayers of the commonwealth.
1t was not cry for bread to feed their fam
lshlng lips, resulting IN a sudden outrage,
with good prOyOcatlOn; 1t Is a deliberate at
tempt by men without authority, to control
Others IN the enjoyment of their rights. The
men had a right to refuse to work. and to
persuade Others to ioIn them. but the mo-
ment they attempted to control the works and
resorted to violence, they placed themselves
outside the pale of the law.
If we were to concede the doctrine that the
emplOye may dictate to his employer the
terms of his employment. and upon the re-
fusal of the latter to accede to them to take
possession of his property and drive others
away who are willing TO work, we would have
anarchy. No business could be condu cted
upon such a basis" The justice then de-
fined as treason the organization of a large
number of men in common purpose to
defy the law, resist officers and deprive any
portion of their fellow-cltizens of their rights
under the constitution and laws. 1T is
state of war;" said ne, ''when a business
plant has to be surrounded by the army of
the state to protect it from unlawful violence
at the hands of former employees. Every
member of such associated government,
whether it be an advisory committee, or by
what name it is called, if it participated in
such usurpation, was engaged in defiance of
the law and violation of the rights of other
citizens, and has committed treason against
the state.
''If you End from the evidence that the de-
PENDANTS have, or any of them has COM
mitted, participated or aided in any of the
acts which 1 have defined to you as consti-
tuting the offense of treason il will be your
sworn outy to find true bill against the
party or parties so offending"

Crespo,s Trlumnh.

CURACAO, October 1.-THE late defacto
president of Venezuela, Villegas Pullido, has
initiated Palacio and quilted the republic.
He took with him all his cabinet.
The last order of the de facto government
before its flight was quite in keeping with its
other high-heade1 acts. Villegas Pullldo
cancelled the exequators of both the Ameri-
can and British vice consuls.
OF course it Is difficult to get full details of
ali that Is now transpirIng In the disturbed
republic, but it seems certain that the Crespo
triumph Is absolute, that the capital Is at his
mercy and that the revolution which has
been 80 prolonged is at an end.

ALBERT Went Shooting,

LONDON, October 14.-The Star makes a
covert attack on the Prince of Wales absence
from the funeral services of Lord Tennyson.
1t was announced that the prince would be
present, but he did not attend. The Star
prints a letter saying the Prince of Wales
prefers to go shooting to attend the New
Market races to attending the funeral of such
a man as Tennyson. The writer protests, as
a patriotic taxpayer. that the Prince of Wales
finds the popping over of helpless birds more
congenIal employment than attending the
funerals of great men, and urges his derelic-
ton on this occasion should not be allowed
to pass without official protest.
