caliber two on each side and one placed
in rather peculiar position under the
fOTecastle deck, where II Is intended TO be
used after the fashion of an old-time
'bow-chaser." An advantage is gained
by having tbs gun thus mounted, when
the TTouin is ramming an enemy, the
cruisers forward guncrew being able to
keep up rapid fire while steaming upon
their marine victim.
Between decks the Trouin lacks many
OF the trim, light adjuncts to a modern
ship of the line. Her officers quarters are
very limited for space and are by no means
luxurious, though they are undoubtedly
comfortable. The berth deck is low and
one needs must bow his head in passing
over il. This deck is utilized as sort of
a general armory. rifles being kept in
racks both forward and aft, entirely un-
like the arrangements for small arms
planned for cruiser of '94.
The Trouin steers from an ordin airy pilot
house built on the forward part of the
superstructure. The gear is operated by
steam and also by hand from this place,
but there Is no supplementary steering
apparatus below the water line in case the
pilot-hOuSe was shot away during action.
The coming tower is not known on the
Trouin.
There is no lack of modern rapid-ire
cannon and machine guns on the French
man. She could make it pretty warm for
an enemy at close quarters.
Before making Acapulco the Trouiu had
been along the South American coast and

in southern oceans has caused her TO be-

AN ORIENTAL PAGEANT.
Gorgeous Costumes, Handsome
Floats and a differing Array.


Great preparations had been made for
the parade. and judging by the gaudy
magnifcence of the floats and the cos
tunes of the participants no expense had
been spared by the management to make
it all th at could be desired, even by the
most critical Chinese WHO had seen holi-
day pageants IN the FIowery Kingdom.
For weeks past every artist. carpenter.
cabinet-maker, painter and joss and devil
manufacturer had taxed his ingenuity in
preparing and manufacturing designs and
para phernalia for the turnout OF yester-
day. The committee of arrangements
had issued orders that red, green and pur-
pie paint could be ordered in unlimited
quantities as we'll as tinsel and gold paper
The result Of this order was seen in
the paraphernalia which made up the
greater part CT Yesterdays procession.
As regards colOring the parade was
more than gorgeous. 1t was simply III
descent with glittering array of rainbow
'hues that was bewldering to the gaze Oh
the behoder.
The parade was formed in the recreation
grounds under the supervision of Colonial
L. I. Robinson and there was not half the
confusion IN getting 1t started that one
would think there would be.
There was great Gathering and run
ming around on the part of the Mon
golians who were to take part in it and
some of the managers of the floats got
mixed ND in their arrangements, but
Colonel Robinson had things Strengthened
out so that the pageant began to move ON
.. time-half past 2.
The Midway, down which the parade
was to pass On its way TO the grand court,
was lined on either side with spectators,
the most of whom were white persons.

The Salvation Army Camp at Trestle
Glen was the scene of series of rousing
camp-meetings yesterday in spite of the
fact that the campers had been nearly

communicating with the glen were
crowded. Indeed, it is estimated that dur
ing the day 50. 900 people visited the camp,
when all due preparation temporal, as
we'll as spiritual. had been made for their
accommodation.
The restaurant. which boosted prices
somewhat lower than those of the city,
did a rafting business, and although no
intoXicants could be procured, soothing
drinks of a non-alcoholic character were
in great demand.
Shining lights of the Salvation Army
from all over the coast took part in the re-
lIgious exercises.
The most stirring addresses. however,
were those delivered by Staff Captain
Blanche Cox, who gave accounts of her
recent evangellZing tour in Switzerland
and other European countries. Her de-

boy residing with his parents. at AK

through the palm of the left hand yester-

The Chinese building was the center of
attraction all day Tor the Monaghan visl-
