A MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE
Imposing Military Pageant at
ChiCkamauga Park.
ENTIRE ARMY PARTICIPATES
For Four Hours the Forty Thousand Vol
unteers in Camp Pass In Review Be-
fore General Breckenridge.

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Aug. 10. MOT
since General Sherman reviewed the
army at the close of the civil war has
there been such an imposing and mag
nificent military pageant as that wit.
messed on the historic fields of Chicka-
mauga park during the day. The
review was held by order of Major
General Breckinridge and the entire
army Of 10000 men took part. The
regiments were grouped by divisions
and each division was accompanied by
its ambulance train. The movement
began at $3.50 a. m. and it was 1890 o.
m. before the last company passed the
stand. The regiments having passed
the stand did not reassemble, but
marched to their respective camps.
The magnificent spectacle was wit.
messed by large and deeply interested
crowd of spectators who were thrilled
with the scene as the regiments
marched by in the most perfect order,
keeping time to the martial strains Of a
score of regimental bands and field
music organizations. 1t was a scene
rarely witnessed in the history of ma.
tion, and the cleverness and skill with
which it was carried out was high
compliment to both the men and the
officers in command. General Breck.
inridge and staff were no less pleased
and gratified than the spectators.

LONDON, Aug. 10. "A dispatch from
Hong Kong says: The German
steamer Petrarch left Manila Aug. 9,
and has arrived here. She reports
that the Spanish soldiers at Manila az,
tackled the American camp on the
night of July 81. The Spanish forces
were over 5000 strong. They charged
the American line several times. The
American fire broke the Spanish center
and they retreated. Later they made
a second charge, but shortly retreated
to the bushes, keeping up an incessant
fire. Eleven Americans were killed
and 81 wounded. Spanish losses re.
ported great. During the fighting the
rebels remained neutral.

HOUSE DISCUSSED OPIUM BILL
SENATE.

One hundred-fourteenth day, June ~.
The nomination of H. Laws, as Aud
itor General, was received from the
President.
Notice was received that the Presi-
dent has signed several acts.
The Judiciary Committee recon-
mended the passage of the bill impOs-
ing a fee of fifty cents on users of the
books in the Registry of Conveyances
except practitioners and notaries pub
&c.
On motion to adopt the report Min
lister Cooper stated that there had
been an indiscriminate use of the
books in the office and they were be
coming much tattered. This slight fee
he considered to be sufficient to reim-
burse the Government for the wearing
out of the books.
Senators Hooking and McCandIess
opposed the bill. They said they be-
Heved that the books were as much
injured by the regular practitioners
and nOtaries public as by the public.
Se~athor Hooking said he had infor-
nation that it was not the public who
gave the trouble, but the lawyers
themselves, that they were largely re-
spOnsible for the Injury to the books.
Senator McCandleSS characterized
the bill as an attempt at class legis-
lation. He made strenuous objection
to charging fee to the public for OC
caSiOnal examinations, while the law
yers, who constantly examined the
books could do SO without charge. The
report was not adopted and the bill
was laid on the table.
The Senate laid on the table also the
concurrent resolution making it the
sense of the Legislature that the dis
abilities be removed from those con-
victed in 1895 Of being participants in
the revolution.
The Judiciary Committee recon-
mended the passage of the resolution.
They reported that the pardOning pow
er was in the Executive and the COun-
ell of State, that it had been their prac-
tice to make recommendations for
clemency. Of the prisoners of 1895
some $50 remained who had failed to
take the oath of allegiance. When
they do SO and ask for pardon there
was no doubt that pardOns would be
granted.
Senators Baldwin and McCandless
used the Committees report as an ar
gument for killing the bill. They said
that the present custom was entirely
satisfactory, that the Executive had
exercised leniency thus far and there
was every probability that they would
continue to do so to such as took the
oath and asked for their pardons. The
bill was then laid on the table.
A remOnstrance was received from
the Becldey estate against the taking
of their harbor on Molokai by the
when the deed stipulated
ownership of the land from the noun
tains to the breakers. The writer de-
clared that the Government owned no
land at all fronting the harbOr The
remOnstrance was referred to the Min
lister of Interior.
At 1925 o'clock the Senate ad-
iOurned
