One million of the people were in the

a distance Of $50 miles, and during the
Journey it had been absolutely impos-

In each temple there were from 10 to
800 priests, supported entirely by the
people. Of the 100000 priests only
100000 were actively engaged. The re-

In South Africa is vague and oontradic.

of the British war Office emphatically

out or that any steps have been taken

The afternoon newspapers follow the
lead of the morning papers in taking an
extremely grave view of the situation.
although the war office denial some
what tends to allay the wildly alarmist
reports current.
The Boer organ here, the Standard
and Diggers News, prints dispatch
from Pretoria saying that the tension
there was apparently less severe, and
that it was believed arrangements for
the proposed conference at Cape Town
wouldbe completed. although President
Kruger of the TransVaal Republic was
unlikely to attend.
Many Think War Certain.
The opinion Of those who regard the
beginning of war between Great Brit
ain and the Transvaal as only matter
of short time, is voiced by the st.
James Gazette, which says:
The news concerning the crisis is very
grave We. learn that three more in
fantry brig8des have been ordered to
Cape Colony, including the Gordon's of
Dargai fame; one battalion of the High
land light infanty, which fought in
Crete; the second battalion of the Black
Watch and the second battalion of the
Camerons. These regiments are under
orders to be ready to leave at "a hours
notice. The officers and men are de-
aighted at the prospect of active service.
In service circles war is considered
absolutely certain. The admiralty has
number of transports ready to convey
the troops to Cape Colony. The Beers,
while procrastinating in regard to their
reply, have been making every prepara-
tion for war and are contemplating
raiding the Natal frontier. Laing's

Transvaal to Natal, is undefended."

"Ths predominant view is that the
last dispatch opens up the way BE- a
rnodus vivendi, inasmuch as proposals
of Mr.. Chamberlain relating to the
seven years franchise have been practi
cally complied with. This is the result
of the influence of Herr Fischer (the
special: agent of the Orange Free Statel
) with the raad." ~s-P--ss-- !
This dispatch, however, is at variance
with the editorial views on the matter
expressed by The Times.

Paper and String.

Franklin's time honored and cumu-

shoe was lost, for want of the shoe the
horse was lost, for want Of the horse
the man was lost" should have the
addendum of Irvine and paper bags
put to it to make it complete.
Few things are more aggrayating
than to be ready to tie up package
and find no string, or to carry few
apples. oranges. eggs or bulbs short
distance and find no bag to hold them.
Strings should always be wound in a
ball and kept ready for immediate use
where the family may find them, and
paper bags, as soon as emptied, should
be folded neatly and laid in drawer
for use as needed.

hour The presence in the city of Pres

est enthusiasm among the throngs. Ad-
miral Sampson and the captains OF his
fleet made formal call upon the presi-

ceiving them in the reception room set
apart for him him at the hotel
Afterward, the presidential party, In

carriage was drawn by four richly ca
parlsoaad bssy horses. With the presi-
dent were Mayor Ashbridge and Gen
eral Louis Wagner, chairman OF the 1t.
A. r. executive committee.
AS the president started up Broad
street, great wave Of cheering was
started that never ceased until he had
traversed the entire route OF the parade.
The presidential party drove past the
historic state house. As he passed, the
president took off his hat. The party
reached the reviewing stand at 1910
o'clock, and the president waited in the
rooms of the director of public works
until the head of the procession reached
the stand when he again made his ap-
pearance.
The head of the procession moved at
10 O'clock and marched five miles. In.
dependence hall was passed during the
march and caps were lifted and oolors
dipped by the veterans. A chorus OF
5000 school children assembled at the
city hall and sang patriotic airs as the
veterans passed.
Post No. l, from Rockford. Ills, the
Oldest post in the Grand Army, headed
the line.
General James w. Latta of this city,
was chief marshal. Among the many
relics of the Civil war which appeared
in the parade was the worn and stained
flag which was used at General Thomas
headquarters. It was carried at the
right of linein the Society of the Cum
berland, at Chicago at the reception OF
General Grant on his return from trip
around the world.
Disabled veterans rode in carriages
following the department of Pennsyl-
vania at the end of the line. In order
came the departments of Illinois, Wis
cousin, Ohio, New York. Connecticut,
Massachusetts,, New Jersey, Maine,
Rhode Island. New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Potomac, Virginia, North Caro-.
lima, Maryland, Nebraska, Michigan,
Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Kentucky,
West Virginia, Washington, South Da-
kota and Alaska. Thirty-five thousand
men were in line.
The Avenue of Fame, with it's snow
white columns and festoons of bunting
and laurel was the favorite view point.
Chicago appears to be in the lead for
the encampment of 1900. Denver, San
Francisco and st. Louis are also afterit.
