NAVAL VETERANS.
A Convention and Grand Parade at
Pittsburg.


Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. l0.-In the pa
rade of naval veterans to-day the escort
ing column was composed Of the Sons Of
Veterans Guard, GOO rifles, headed by
Chief Marshal H. NJ. Rebele, with
Mounted Post 80, Sons of Veterans of
Allegheny, acting as personal escort.
The naval reserves of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania acted as personal
escort TO Rear Admiral Osborne and his
associate officers. BY the side of the
admiral, attired in fetching sailor uni
form, marched Miss Daisy Little of
Cincinnati, the Mascot" of the organiza-
ton, who is credited with having brought
good luck to every parade for several
years past. But the spe tacular feature
of the parade. and which divided the
plaudits of the spectators with the vet
Grams themselves, was the division COM
posed of the Mary A Logan Cadets of
Columbus, and which had been specially
designated as guard of the ensign by the
rear admiral. Attractive of face, and
with figures that showed off to advantage
in their uniforms of sailors skirts and
blouses with trimmings and anchors of
white braid, they marched along like
regulars, looking neither to the
of the vociferous cheers that went
up from the crowd. Their sailor caps
were set jauntily on their heads and the
color bearers dipped their colors when
passing the reviewing stand with the
dizziness of experts. Following the cadets
were carriages containing the slRdies of
the naval veteran associations of outside
states and then composing the last
division came the veterans themselves
each association in the order of the date
of charter.
Texas has solitary representative in
the person of Miss Carrie e. Lowe
daughter of Gen. A. l.. Lowe of the state
militia With band preceding her, and
with the advance and rear delegations
keeping at yard-arm distance, she
marched along in regular step, bearing
proudly aloft the banner of the
Dupont Veterans Association of Fort
Worth. Models of the Kear-
sarge and Alabama as they
appeared just before their fight,off the
coast of France, preceded the Massachu-
sets delegation. After the parade had
dis banded the delegates proceeded to the
Allegheny county court house, where
| the annual convention of the association
was called TO order. Thirty-four associ-
| atoms were represented. Rear Admiral
! Osborne of New York made lengthy ad-
! dress embodying his report for the year.
capt. Osborne announced that, having
| already served four terms, he was not a
candidate for reelection, and, by unani-
nous vote, B. f. Allen of Hartford
! Conn, was chosen as rear admiral com
handing for the ensuing term. The con
vention then adjourned until tomorrow

WILL NOT GIVE UP THE GUNS.
Suit to Enjoin Tillman From SeizinE
the Light Infantry's Arms.

Baltimore, Sept, lO.-The South Caro-
lima dispensary riot of last March was
discussed IN the United States circuit
court to-day before Judge Goff The mat
ter came up in the form of an injunction
suit to prevent Gov. Tillman, or any state
oticer under him, from taking possession
OF the arms and acCoutrements of the
Washington Light Infantry Company of
Charleston. 10 will be recalled that when
I1llman's dispensary raiders passed the
line of ohensiveness drawn by the citizens
of Darlington and other towns, they were
attacked, a number Of the constable
killed and the rest pat TO flight
The governor then ordered several com
panies Of militia to proceed TO the scene
of uprising and restore order and the
gubernatorial authority Among the
companies ordered out was the washing
ton Light Infantry. Its members haJly
refused To take up arms against their fell
low citi ems, who, they said, had simply
resented the insulting otficiousness of dis
pensary officers. Gov. Tillman was highly
tncensed aud ordered the company TO
surrender its arms. This order was also
disobeyed and an appeal to the courts
was made.
The Charleston company is represented
by Theodore :. Barker and j. +. X.
Bryan Attorney General Buchanan ap-
HNol Aut Wv L lAiuidus Iut lawyers
for the company claim that the arms
We're secured by the company by special
act of congress aud held in undisputed
possession for over sixteen years that
the arms were issued for no other pur-
pose than the use of the company; that
therefore the seizure of them by the gov
ernor would be illegal as II would be a
diversion of the arms to a purpose not
authorized by the act of congress under
which they were issued. Attorney
General buchanan said of the states
case: I'VE believe that the governor has
the right to discipline the militia of the
state whenever he feels like It, and that
the United States has no right TO inter
fere, We are not trying to deprive this
company of its arms for all time, but are
doing 1t simply to teachsthem lesson.
Even If we did want to dlsband the com
pany and take its arms away from it,,
what right has the United States TO say
that we shall notl If IL did, we would
soon have a nice state Of affairs. There
would be a state militia and one belong
ing to the government. The state sup
ports its militia, and 1t has the right TO
do with IL as it pleases.n

To the Democrats of the Seventh Com
gressional District To well-informed men
it has been a well known fact for the past
ten days that w. c. p. BreckinridRe was
Overwhelmingly defeated, unless some
desperate measure was resorted to to pre-
vent IT, Knowing this, they are willing
TO resort to any methods, however
unfair, 10 foace the nomination OF

the nostrils of decent people His leaders
dug up the forgotten memories of tho
great cival war, a test OATH which was
never administered except at the point OF
bayonch Dnscrupulous as his leaders
were aud are; willing as they We're TO re-
sort To any measure, however foul to
override the will of the people, we are
glad TO say that the enforcement of this
military gag law has, been defeated by
the courage and patriotism of the
intrepid leaders of the opposition;
all that is necessary under the amended
call Of The congressional committee is for
the voter TO be a known democrat, who has
aniliated with the Democratic party in
the past and intends in good faith to sup
port the nominee IN the regular election
IN November, which has always been a
party rule in all democratic primaries.
Although the purpose of this amended
call as proposed by Breckenridge was
10 frighten away from the polls
men who opposed him, we as
sure the democracy their purpose
has wholly failed, and there is nothing in
the call Objectionable TO the leaders and
friends Of MIR. Owens or 20 any democrat,
but il is an acknowledged fact that eer-
tain defeat of their man Breckenridge
stares them in the face. To insure this
defeat beyond question. we only ask MIR.

1t Was Caused by Paralysis of the Brain and
Collapse Of the Lungs.

Collapse OF the Lungs,
AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Dec. 18.-
Further advices have reached here from
Apia, Samoa, giving details Of the death
Of the distinguished novelist, Robert Louis
Stevenson. From the advices now at hand
Il is learned that Mr.. Stevenson died on
the evening Of Dec. 3. He was talking
with.his wife, seemingly as well as usual,
when he suddenly said to her 81 have a
strange pain in my head, Immediately
afterward he fell back insensible
Everything possible was done to restore
him TO consciousness without success and
within two hours Of the seizure he died.
The cause Of death was sudden paralysis
Of the brain, accompanied by q collapse OF
the lungs.
Mrs. Stevenson and all his relatives
were present at the closing scene. The fu-
neral took place on the 4tb. The grave
was dug on the summit Of Pala hill, which
stands on Mr.. Stevenson's Is estate The
coffin was carried up the mountain with
great difficulty by the faithful Samoan
servants, who 50 dearly loved their white
employer. To allow Of the passage Of the
coffin and its bearers il was necessary to
cut track through the dense forest which
covers the whole slope OF the hill. An
obelisk viii be erected over the grave, and
this win form prominent landmark from
the sea.
1t Is stated that Mr.. Stevenson had
suffered from brain exhaustion. He was
haunted by fear that his popularity as a
writer was waning. He left three unfn-
ishod works.
