CRUISER SYREN.
The Auxiliary Naval Snip Meets
With an Accident


NORFOLK Cva), Sept. 6.-The first
serious accident to any vessel of the
auxiliary navy occurred at Hampton
Roads, when the converted yacht Sy-
rem was rammed by British tramp
steamer The little vessel, which
closely resembles the Gloucester, was
just swinging to her anchorage point
in the lee Of the Dolphin, and as she
came broadside across the channel the
big steamship Topaz, coming from
Norfolk directly in the Syren's wake,
struck her with terrific force bow on
The Syren was thrown almost on her
beam ends. The steamship promptly
backed out and continued on her course
out the capes at full speed without
stopping to ascertain the damage she
Captain will be proceeded against at
the next port he puts into.
The Syren Immediately signaled the
flagship: "Rammed; filling rapidly"
Beach yourself" was -wagged
from the San Francisco in reply, and
the Syren promptly made for shore at
full speed She glided upon the sand
without injury, and was Immediately
by launches and boats, or
dered to her assistance by the flagship.
Fore and aft anchors were rugged to
hold her. and an examination Of her
injuries revealed a great jagged hole
amidships below the water line. 1t
will be temporarily repaired until the
vessel can be locked at the navy yard.
Her upper works were also stove in

This was Naval day, and tomorrow
will be Army Day, to be followed on
Thursday by the peace jubilee. The
National Naval Association gave a
grand parade this morning. To-mor-
row the G.. A. r. men will give their
annual parade, and on Thursday the
civic and industrial parade occurs.
After their parade to-day the naval
veterans We're entertained on steam-
boats, and they captured Coney Island.
The features of the day were the regi-
mental, brigade and other reunions, at
which the old comrades got closer to-
gether than on any other occasion.
There were demonstrations on the
arrival of several department COM
manders and of Governors and their
staffs. The citizens also rendered re-
ceptions to Commandment Co
bin, Rear Admiral Kelly, Mrs. d. J.
Martin, President of the Womens Re-
lief Corps; Mrs. Flora M. Davey, Pres
ident of the Ladies of the Grand Army
of the Republic; Mrs. Jennie Laird,
President of the National Association
of the Ladies of the Naval Veterans,
and others. The Women's Relief
Corps Auditing Committee, the Di-
rectors of Andersonville Prison prop
erty, the Directors of the National
Corps, and the National Council were
in session to-day on routine business.
The parade of to-day was under
command of Grand Marshal M. L..
Hawkins, with Lieutenant Colonel
George M Finch as Chief of Staff
The first division was composed Of
Union naval veterans, the National AS
ISOLATION of Ex-Prisoners Of War, the
Union Veteran League, Sons of Vet
Grams, regimental organizations and
survivors of the Lopez expedition to
free Cuba. 1t was commanded by
Commander Fred. Wetmore.
Following this came the second divi-
sion, commanded by Major Joseph L..
Gaul and consisting Of the Eighth
Regiment, United States Volunteer In
fantry, and local companies of cadets
and boys brigades, mostly bearing
arms.
The parade required an hour or more
to pass a given point, and was every
where watched by crowds of deeply in
terested spectators. The dramatic eff
feet of the arrangement of the divisions
was the occasion for mach comment.
First in honor came the veterans Of
the Civil War, the men who manned
the vessels in our unique navy and the
thinner rank Of the x-prisoners Of that
war. The spectators could not fail to
be impressed with sad feeling that
they were looking upon a body Of men

Have Their Parade To-Day.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 6.-The thirty
second annual encampment OF the
Grand Army of the Republic is a sue
cess so far as attendance is concerned,
even for these national events, which
are phenomenal for crowds. The open
ing day yesterday surpassed expecta-
tons as we'll as Sunday on the arrivals,
but before the twenty-one guns were
fired at sunrise to-day at Camp Sher-
man the depots were crowded with
more arrivals.
The posts arrived in bodies to-day,
and were escorted to their quarters by
local posts. The special trains arrived
faster than they could be handled at
the terminals in the early hours, and
the rush continued, so that later trains
were stopped at Camp Sherman and
other suburban points, where street
cars and other transportation had been
provided.
There is a capacity of $4,000 in the
tents of Camp Sherman, and it is well
filled, as well as the smaller camps;
but the Committee on Quarters has I'M
limited quarters yet in residences and
other places. The decorations are unu-
sually elaborate, the electric light de-
signs in the public squares and at
street intersections surprising even
