Launching Of the Illinois.

NEWPORT NEWS, Oct. 4.-Nearly
loo, 600 people witnessed the launch
ing Of the Illinois, the mammoth new
battleship, this morning. AS tn
great hulk slid into the water Miss
Nancy Letter of Chicago broke a bot
tie Of wine over the vessels bow, and
in a low voice said, II christen thee
Illinois" Immediately all the whist
les in the neighborhood shrieked, bells
tolled and guns doomed forth their
welcome, while the crowd cheered it
self hoarse
The Illinois will be powerful addi-
tion to Uncle Sans growing navy.
Into its broad hull is packed all the

events Of the carnival today are the
band contest this morning, the peace
parade this afternoon and the silver

test this morning in front of the
grand stand was not completed and
will be continued tomorrow. At
o'clock this afternoon the Chaffee
Light Artillery fired a salute at the
capitol grounds, and at l 80 the pa
rade started. The militia and regu-
lars were missing from the ranks, but
all things considered the military
showing was very creditable. There
were some representatives Of Roose-
velt's Rough Riders in the van of the
procession and they were everywhere
received with applause. The Spanish
nag captured at Manila was carried
by some Of the representatives Of
the Colorado First, who have been re-
turned from Manila. The regular

DEMOCRAT, POP, DEMOCRAT
Unusual Political Medley that Took
Possession Of the Court House
Saturday and Appoints
ed Committees,


The court house was the scene Of
quite an unusual political medley to-
day. Three parties or factions held
county conventions and arranged for
a county fusion ticket. First on go
ing into. the court house one met with
the sign on the door of the school
superintendent's Office Silver Re-
publican Convention, Teller Faction"
Going in you saw arranged around
small table half dozen men. On first
thought one would likely pass this
body by as small committee meet
ing, but it was in reality from their
stand point, full fledged county
convention acting under the author
ity and direction of A. M. Stevenson.
a Denver ward politician. W. B. Fell
ton was chairman and j. w. Work
secretary. AS this body was mere
auxiliary to the Democratic conven
tion, no action was taken save the
appointment o. committee, till the
superior body was heard from.
The Democrats proper met in the
court room, though a much smaller
room would have done them Just as
well, Jack Palmer was chairman
and R. H. Paxton secretary. As is
usually the case, the principal sub
ject before this convention was fus-
ion and as they were practically unan-
imous on the matter the only ques-
tion for discussion was the amount
of spoils to demand from the other
parties.
The Populists had a nice little
gathering in one of the jury rooms
up in the third story, and opened the
services by singing Nearer, My God,
to Thee Than l Shall be Again." c. H.
Wasson performed the duties of chair
man and Frank Thomas acted as sec
retary. The Populists had their song
learned well and the burden of it was
fusion" While all were strictly in
favor of getting together, still each
party, or faction, would liked to have
all of the three offices. When it is
between Democrats and Populists its
a very hard matter to divide three Of
fees between three parties.
Each convention appointed COM
mittee of five to confer with each
other and made an effort to divide
three by three and let each party
have two or three offices. Each COM
mittee selected one member to go out
and confer further, SO as 10 come
back and tell the committee of five
just what to report back to the con-
ventions. The Populists took both
representative and float representa-
tive, the former nomination going to
Frank A. Moore and the latter to NJ.
NJ. Smith of Salida.
Don Champion of Currant Creek
was nominated for commissioner by
the Democrats and Kent L. Eldred
was named by the Silver Republicans
for county judge.
The conventions adjourned shortly
after 10 p. m.

The second edition of Gilmore &
Leonard's "Hogan's Alley" by W. A.
Nacart will be the attraction at the
Canon City opera house on October
7th. No play has been so extensive
ly advertised or met with such phe-
nominal success as the above has
been. This season it has been entire
ly rewritten in three funny acts, with
a considerable plot intermingled with
many new novel specialties by repu-
table artists well known to the farce
comedy stage. The first act shows
Hogan's Alley, as it was in its ia
nous history with its characters, etc.
The second act being the reception of
Mrs. Hogan, the Hogan's cycle club
house and the beautiful Hudson river.
While the last act being confined to
the many new and novel specialties
which are introduced by this superior
company. All the scenery used for
this production is new and carried
special, and the reputation left by
this company in a former engagement
will be a criterion for reception.
The engagement is for October Z, '98.

the cession of the island Of Luzon and
to pay liberal sum for the balance
Of the group. If this proposition
should prove acceptable to The Span

that a final treaty Of peace win bc

However, it is feared that the Spanish

one of the open pavilions. and large
number Of the men attended 1t.
In the afternoon Chaplain Cressey,
Of the First regiment, held @. service In
the same pavilion. Music was fur,
nished by the First regiment band, and
an immense audience gathered to hear
1t.
During the afternoon the crowds con-
tinued to grow until the sun began to
decline, when they turned homeward.
But most Of the visitors were anx-
ious to witness guard mount, and they
waited until that ceremony was per-
formed And 1t was worth their wait
Ing for. 1t was the first ceremony at
the camp performed with full band.
and was made as impressive as pos
sfble. The guard marched out to a
broad lawn near Col. Reeves head
quarters. and the crowd formed in a
hollow square around them. Then the
men were drawn UP on one side, I'M
til Maj. Ames, the officer Of the day,
gave the command to march. The men
performed the evolutions correctly. and
paraded twelve files front across the
lawn. They were then sent to their
posts, and the crowd dispersed.
There were many fond partings at
the camp. 1t was the last time many
of the men will see their friends until
they return from the war, and some
Of the farewells were quite affecting.
The warriors accompanied the visitors
to the cars and then went back to their
tents and barracks, little heavier
hearted.
The busiest man in the camp during
the day was Maj. Ed S. Bean, who was
officer of the day. He was in charge
of the camp. and the duty devolved
upon him to protect lives and prop
erty and see that no rules were In
fringed He rode a handsome horse,
and from s a. m. until p. m. he was
in the saddle. He was everywhere.
But most of the time he was along the
main street looking out for the safety
of the crowds. He had to keep the
carriages moving so they would not
block the way and run over women
and children. That no accident oc-
Cured was due to his diligence In pre-
serving system and order among the
visiting carriage drivers and horse
men.
Maj. Bean was thoroughly tired when
his day of duty ended, and he gladly
relinQuished his authority to Maj.
Ames.
All things considered, it was the most
notable day In the history of the fair
grounds. On no previous occasion have
so many people been gathered at one
time in the grounds. Not even the
most prosperous fair day drew so many
visitors as were there yesterday. If
the men are there next Sunday, the
crowd will probably be greater. The
unfavorable weather yesterday deferred
many from going to the camp.
BY next Sunday it is expected every
man in the camp will have uniform
and the place will have even more OF
a military appearance than it had yes
terday.
