LAB0B'S OUTING
The Annual Labor Day Festiv-
tiles Enjoyed by an Army
of TOilers.
A Beautiful Day-An Excellent
Program-Everyone
Happy.

The program arranged for
Labor Day was carried out to
the letter and it proved to be
one of unusual merit. The
weather was all that could be
wished for and happy faces in
all directions showed that the
one day set aside for the toilers'
especial enjoyment was highly
appreciated.
Early in the morning the
whole city was astir-men car
rying banners, uniformed bod
les, decorated carriages and
wagons could be seen moving
in every direction. Many of
the business houses and resi-
dences were appropriately dec
Grated, and on every street and
avenue arrangements were be-
ing made and the different afil-
lated unions were being drawn
up ready to fall in their respec-
tive places in the procession.
The parade was one that will
not soon be forgotten. It was
a gigantic exhibition and
thousands either marched or
rode in line.
The parade formed on First
street near Fifth avenue west.
It was headed by a platoon of
police followed by the city
band and the delegates to the
Trades Assembly. Then came
the different unions with ban
ners and badges and many or
CARNATIONS appeared in full
uniform making a decidedly
pleasing appearance. Then
followed the floats, representing
the industrial interests, Stone,
Ordean, Wells Co., the Duluth
Imperial Mill Co., and the
Scandinavian Bakery having
not less than a dozen rigs each
in the parade, while many
other Industries were repre-
scented, the floats aggregating
fully one hundred.
The picnic and games took
place as advertised at the Driv-
ing Park and Lester Park. Mr..
C. A. Towne was down for two
speeches, but was called sud-
denly to Colorado and was un-
able to be present. Mr.. Elt-
weed Pomeroy, of Newark, N.
president of the Direct Legis-
lation League, was spending
the day in the city and kindly
responded to a request to adj
dress the audience at the Driv-
ing Park. Rev. Geo. Gates, of
Grinnell, Ia, also spoke. Good
speeches were made by Mayor
Truelsen and Vim. E. McEwen.

CueA'S NEW GOVERNMENT.
FORMAL Order of the War Department.
Assignment of Commando

vi Ihe war Departme
assignment of Commands
washington, Dec. 1.-THE war de-
partment made public the formal order
lof the military government of Cuba.
Inc notable feature is that Major
General Ludlow, who is designated as
military governor Of Havana CITY.
"nlle nCminally subordinate to the di-
vision commander, General Brooke. is
apparently charged to exercise all the
CIVIL functions in that place under di-
rect authority of the president. Gen
eral Lees functions appear to be limit
eu 10 those strictly military, and it is
thought he may be eventually charged
with all the duties, civil as we'll as
military, of the government of the
province. The text of the order is as
follows:
War Department. Washington,
Dec. l5.-By direction of the presi-
dent, division to be known as the di
vision of Cuba, consisting of geograph-
lcal departments and provinces of Gu
ba, with headquarters in the city of
havana, is hereby created under COM
mand of Major-General John r..
Brooke, United States army, who, in
addition to commanding the troops in
the division, will exercise the author
lty OF military governor OF the island.
Major General Fitzhugh Lee,
United States volunteers, commanding
the Seventh army corps. is assigned to
the immediate command of all the
troops IL the province of Havana.
MaJo: General William Ludlow,
United States volunteers, is designated
as the military governor of the city Of
Havana, and will report direct to the
division commander. He is charged
with all that relates to the collection
and disbursement of the revenues OF
the city and its police, sanitation and
general government, under such regula-
tions as may be prescribed by the pres
ident. R. A. ALGER,
Secretary of War;"
The commands of military depart
ments Of the division of Cuba, com
manded by General Brooke, SO far as
decided upon, ale as follows:
Department of Pinar del Rio, Briga-
dier-General w. Davis.
Puerto Principe, General H. L. Car.
penter.
Santa Clara, General Simon Snyder.
Santiago, General L. Wood.
This leaves the provinces of Havana
and Matanzas unprovided for. These
commands probably will be left ope1
until the return of the president from
the South, but the probabilities are
strong that Major Lee will b'
assigned to the district of Havana, ant
Major-General Henry to the command
of Matanzas.

Advance in Price of Fish.

At Seattle the price of salmon has
advanced from 10 cents per pound to
10 cents per pound in the last few
days, the cause being assigned to the
closing of the season and consequent
scarcity of fish. The demand for fish
in general is reported to be better than
has been the case for some time, steel
head salmon are beginning to run ard
the Tyee variety is expected in few
weeks, but as yet the run is rather
short. Good fishing is reported in the
Narrows, few miles from Tacoma, and
the run is expected to continue there
until January l. The catch now is
said to be about $4,000 salmon daily,
of the dog salmon variety. A few her
ring were captured at Quartermaster
harbor on Saturday and it is said that
they were the forerunners of the regu-
lar seasons run.

DEFIANT ONLY IN TALK
admiral Dewey's Opinion OF the Phil
ippine Insurgents.

ADMIRAL Dewey's Opinion OF the Phil.
ippine Insurgents.
Manila, Dec. 10. - Rear-Admiral
Dewey, when press correspondent
called upon him today, was courteous
and pleasant, but absolutely declined
to discuss the political situation in the
Philippine islands, on the ground that
his sphere was purely naval. He then
proceeded to cross-examine the CORE.
spondent about everything ashore. He
was glad to learn that the insurgents
were releasing the sick Spanish sol.
diers they held as prisoners, notwith.
standing Aguinaldo's grandlloquent re.
tusal to do SO. This proves that the
insurgents are very conciliatory, in
spite of their defiant talk.
Admiral Dewey always believed that
the insurgents were friendly, especial
ly since the warships of our feet have
visited the different ports of those
islands, and since some of our officers
have made tours inland, carefully in.
vestigating popular sentiment and ju
diciously preaching the gospel of peace
full settlement everywhere with highly
satisfactory results.

of the North German Lloyd Company,
which has in contemplation the opera
tion of steamer line from this coast
to the Orient, is reported by the San
Francisco papers to be on his way home
by way Of Hong Kong and Suez canal.
As many of the stockholders of the
company are interested in Northern
Pacific securities, Tacoma was consid-
cred to have an excellent chance to be
chosen as a terminus. 1t now seems
that the Santa Fe Railroad Company
having interested the Australian gov
ernment in the advantages of San Diego

the steamship company is inclined tc
favor the Southern California port.
