made and examining the great batch OF

along the line of the new road and many
industries and enterprises of the City OF
st. Paul, to which city is due in large
measure the great success of this cele-
bration in honor OF its citizen James j..
Hill.
Minneapolis floats were placed in the
parade together Immediately after the
city of st. Paul float and preceding all
other cities. They were escorted by
platoon of Minneapolis police.
Nothing ever seen in the west can APP

first headed by the Third United States

composed OF Indians, float in a miniature

The five state floats, representing Min

parade, were artistic and beautiful de-

honorable places in the line. No expense

Beautifully bright weather greeted
thousands of people who came together
in this city this morning from all parts
of the northwest to do honor to the first
man to build great transcontinental
railroad without government aid. The
entire city put on holiday dress for the
occasion. Gay streamers of all colcrs,
flags and bunting adorned every big
block, strong rivalry in decorations being
apparent. Bunting covered everything,

One That Has Caused Consider
able Trouble Decided.
ISSUING OF CERTIFICATES
All Chinese ConsnIs in Foreign Coun
tries Issue Them.
Treasury OmcieIs Contend That AL
Chinese Landed in British Columbia
Reach the United States, Coming
Over the Border at Night.

WASHINGTON, June IA problem
which has been giving more or less
trouble to government officials was de-
cided today. 1t relates to the issuance of
Chinese certificates of identity and has
been the subject of considerable cor
respondence between the state depart
ment and the treasury branch of the
service. Some time since Secretary
Carlisle received a communication from
the collector at San Francisco, stating
that he was informed by the consul at
Hong Kong that he was unable to ascer-
tain that the Chinese government has
given any authority to any of its officers
to issue certificates to merchants
and other Chinese persons of the
exempt class, under the sixth section
OF the Chinese exclusion act which per-
mits such persons to come into the United
States provided they are furnished with
certificates by their government of their
right to enter, rank, age, type, physical
popularity, former and present occupa-
ton or profession, and their place of res
idence in China, and that the person to
whom such certificate is issued is entitled
in conformity with our treaty to come
into the United States.
Consul Simons states that most of these
Chinese with fraudulent certificates reach
America by steamers that land at Van
couver, 3. G. Treasury officials contend
that nearly all the Chinese landed there
ultimately reached the United States
coming over the border at night. In
structions will be sent to all collectors OF
customs calling attention to these fraudu-
lent certificates in circulation and caution
ing them against receiving them.
Upon receipt of this Information Secre-
tary Carlisle TO the state department de-
failing the facts set forth and requested
! that steps be taken at once to ascertain
definitely and accurately what is the ma
ture of the instructions of the imperial
| government to its consular officers and
also whether any action has been taken
by that government with respect to the
issuing OF certificates to persons of the
exempt class by officers in China.
Secretary Gresham replied with an en-
closure from the Chinese minister at
| Washington in which the minister states
that customs officers are authorized to is
sue certificates of identity to such Chinese
persons, other than laborers, who desire
to come to the United States and that al
Chinese consuls in foreign countries are
authorized to issue such certificates OF
identity.
The treasury department is bound tc
respect the statement of the Chinese
minister and the certificates will be ac-
cepted.

More substantial and lasting memories
of honor and triumph appeared in the
shape of magnificent arches spanning the
streets. Half dozen of these, patterned
after famous Roman and Grecian
triumphal arches built of the stuff that
made the beautiful buildings in the great
White city on Lake Michigan, spanned
the streets at wide intervals, and under
them marched the great municipal and
industrial parade in honor OF the Great
Northern railroad and its builder.
That railroad had erected a handsome
agricultural arch near its large, finely
decorated building on lower Third street
and a few squares further up the same
street, its great trans-continental rival,
the Northern Pacific. honored itself by
honoring it's competitor in another
agricultural arch, both arches showing
the natural wealth OF the great North
west, and displaying it beautifully.
The parade started from the corner OF
Broadway and Sixth street, between 2and
8 O'Clock and consisted Of floats

Suicide of an Old Time Journalist
in Denver.
FOUND DEAD IN A FIELD.
Story of His Life Told in a Letter to
Rev. Myron Reed.
Another Letter to the Governor States
That He Deliberately Took His Own
Life and No Inquest Was
Necessary.

DENVER, June 7.-[Speciall THE body
of John ID. Nicholas was discovered by a
laborer in a suburban cornfield this after
noon. In one pocket was note to the
coroner stating that ne had deliberately
committed suicide with morphine and no
inquest was necessary, and in another
was letter to Rev. Myron w. Reed.
Captain Nicholas was about 30 years OF
age and an editorial writer of remarkable
brilIiancy. He was at one time chief
owner of the indianapolis Journal, on
which his sister still holds q position,
and afterwards held important places on
several Philadelphia and Chicago papers.
Liquor was the cause of his downfall.
few years ago he drifted to Denver and
became an editorial writer on the Times.
Six months ago it was discovered that
he was practically insane and was dis
tributing checks with a lavish hand.
Charges of fraud and forgery were with
drawn on the development of his condi-
ton and he took partial course in the
local gold cure institute. This week, it
is said, he met an old Indianapolis friend
now prosperous. and brooding over the
to suicide. He leaves two young
daughters without means, and had a
brother in business in Chicago.
The letter to Rev. Mr.. Reed is docu :
ment of the most extraordinary charac-
ter. 1t is a history OF his inner life writ
ten in the most vivid and picturesque
manner. Il tells 1.-THE history of his rise
as young man to place of promi-
hence, his marriage and. happiness and
then points to the gradual power acquired
by liquor and drugs and his struggles
against them, an analysis of his sensa-
tions and closes with a calm and beauti-
fully worded justification of the self de-
struction on which he was resolved.
Nicholas was man of great talent but
of late has been a little more than a men,
dicant wreck supported by morphine and
whisky.

Gray and Dora Velzey were found dead at
noon. in the former's room. Each had
bullet hole in the head. Jealousy on
the part OF one or the other is supposed to
be the cause.
Indications point to the shooting hav-
ing been done by the woman. She is I'M
derstood to have been the recipient of
many attentions from Gray. He recently
accepted responsible position with a
Minneapolis firm, and the superstition is
that when Gray was ready to leave for
Minneapolis he went to say good-by and
grief over his departure or anger at his
refusal to take her with him led her to
commit the double crime.
