KNOWS NOTHING OF 1T.

The above Associated Press dispatch was
shown Manager Van Week last night. but
he said that he knew nothing OF the pro-
posed traffic arrangement. 1t is thought
here that there is some mistake about the
route, as the State Of Texas will permit no
freight originating in or passing through
Louisiana to enter. The officials at San
Francisco have been fully advised as to
the conditions of the Texas quarantine.
and certainly would have taken 1t into con-
sderation in providing way to get their
freight to and from California. There IL
no opportunity to get connection with
the Southern States over the Texas and
Pacific, rs the quarantine at Shreveport
will not permit the running of trains east
and south Of there.

of state, members Of President Nc
Kinley's cabinet and United States sem
ators sat in the shadow of st. Gau-
den's heroic statue and took part. in
the exercises. In the throng that list
cred to Mr.. Peck's grafton were many
of the leading citizens of the nation,
and in those greater multitudes along
the line of march were thousands of
Oh clgo residents together with other
thousands from every quarter of the
country.
The city has rarely been so profusely
decorated. 1t is not alone from public
buildings that bunting was flung to
the breeze, but business houses and
private residences in every section of
the city shared in the general dis
play.
The parade was reviewed by Mrs.
Logan, Captain John A. Logan and
wife, John A. Logan Ill, whose tiny
hand loosed the drapery and unveiled
the figure in bronze; by Major and Mrs.
William F. Tucker, the latter daugh-
ter of the hero of Atlanta; by mem
bers of President McKinlely's cabinet,
and other distinguished guests of the
city. And the city itself, having an
nounced its intention to make this
holiday, also reviewed the parade from

sides hundreds of men and women who
had known the general in life and who
had come to pay their tribute of honor
to his memory. 1t was unfortunate
that the same public demands which
kept President Mckinley in Washing
