across the moonlt yard, under the
most beautiful elm in Middlesex, into
the house, where we washed our
hands and brushed our clothes, and
were then invited into the kitchen to
supper by our hostess. There was Il
long table with white cloth. In the
center In n shining milk-pan was a
mountain of white-blossOmed popcorn,
flanked by candles placed in sockets
cut in the small ends of huge orange
carrots. Next were baskets of apples.

lANY ARE TOO OLD TO MARCH

Cincinnati, O., September 6.-The second ment of the Grand Army of the Republic was banner day-a star-spangled banner day in every way. The weather was de- lghtful and tonight still cooler weather is promised for the big parade tomorrow.
 As the veterans were marching in the naval parade today it was noticed that most of them are gray, many infirm and lame. There will not be many more of these an- nual parades, and some of the veterans favor discontinuing the annual demonstra- tions because they are getting too old for the trips as well as for parading. Some advocate the discontinuance of the encamp- ments because they want all remember ances of sectional differences wiped out, but they say they will attend the annual encampments as long as possible if they can consistently keep within health condi- tons. The leading surviving officers of the civil war are prevented from attending the encampment this year on account of the Spanish war. Many of the veterans hunt up old army nurses, who are remembered with great tenderness.
 Much disappointment is expressed because President Mckinley and ex-President liar rison are not here, as they have been in former years In the absence of the presi- dent, Governor Bushnell of Ohio will oc- cupy his place on the reviewing stand to- morrow, surrounded by Governor Pingree of Michigan, Governor Mount of Indiana, Governor Atkinson of West Virginia, and

 This was helplessly inadequate, there be- ing only a few boats in the vicinity and very few men who would undertake to swim out into the turbulent waters. Many who might have been saved were drowned before help could reach them. Piteous, ap pealing faces sank beneath the waters be- fore the eyes of helpless onlocilers. Man gled bodies came to the surface for mo- ment and then passed out of sight. It was a terrible and heart-rending scene. Even those who were got to land alive were in such condition that many of them died on the way to the hospital Some had their backs broken, others both legs while others were crushed by the heavy irons.
 Many Were Americans
 Amog those who are missing are Cecil Campbell, Wm. Jackson Craig and w. Cub by. About fifty of the men employed on the span were Americans, who came here to work for the Phoenix Bridge company. The remainder were mostly Indians, who acted as assistants. Every man on the division went down with the wreck. Many of those who escaped climbed up the iron work, which still rested on piers at either end The scene around the Hotel Dieul, n.-, 2 the wounded and dying were taken, was heart-rending. The wives and rela- tives of missing men are anxiously inquir- ing after their loved ones.

WHITE DECLINES.
Will Not Become Member of the Peace
 Commission.

Washington, September 6.-It may be said positively now that Justice White, of the United States supreme court, has finally de- clincd the tender of the membership in the Spanish-American peace commission.
 The president has been aware for several days of the decision of Justice White, but for various reasons did not make it public. As a matter of fact no official announce fnent was ever made of his. selection as member of the commission, although it was semi-officially understood that the tender of a place on the commission had been made him.
 In the same way it is now understood that the vacant place on the commission has been offered to Senator George Gray, of Delaware, one of the leading members of the senate and a member of the minority committee.

 It Was Naval Day
 This was naval day, and tomorrow is army day, to be followed on Thursday by the peace jubilee. The National Naval as- sociation gave a grand parade this morn- ing. Tomorrow morning the Grand Army of the Republic men give their annual pa- rade, and on Thursday the civic and indus trial parade occurs.
 After their parade today the naval vet erans were entertained on steamboats and they captured Coney Island The features of the day were the regimentai brigade and other reunions at which the old comrades got cloAer together than on any other oc- casion.
 There were demonstrations on the arrival of several of the staff department com manders and governors and their staff.

Ambassador Hay has cabled to this gov ernment his acceptance of the office of sec retary of state to succeed William R. Day, who will be president of the American peace commission. The diplomatic corps of London is greatly disappointed in the re- call of MT. Hay, for he is without doubt among Englshmen one of the most highly esteemed and respected Americans who ever crossed the Atlantic, either as diplomat or as a visitor.
 MT. Hay has been ambassador to the Court of St. James for nearly two years, and has filled his position in such a manner as to evoke from his associates the most fiattering compliments. He comes from the District of Columbia, and for many years has been a well-known figure in and about the capital. Ambassador Hay will be the third man to fill the office of secretary of state during the present administration

as internal complications have caused ire quent changes. Secretary Sherman was compelled to resign on account of i'll health and Secretary Day gives up the post to be president of the American Peace Commis- sion, which will settle with Spain the fu- ture of our new possessions
 MT. Hay gives up position of $17 300 for one of only $S000, but there is little for him to gain by a further residence in England as he has a beautiful home in Washington and his popularity in that city makes him fit as perfectly into his new office as though he were born for it. It is said on good authority that he will be succeeded by a well-known newspaper man:
 Mrs. Hay is charming, versatile.l and Is said to be the most youthful looking ma tron in diplomatic society. She has renter- tained greatly during her stay in England, and has in return been received most cor dially by Londons most exclusive set.

 Mr. Mckinley expressed desire for him to remain in the army until the work of the peace commission takes some satisfac- tory form. Gen. Wheeler is, however, not likely to stay with the army after con- gross meets in December.
