WASHINGTON PEACE JUBILEE.
Great Civic Parade Yesterday Reviewed
 by the President.

Washington, May 24.-The feature of the second day of the national jubilee celebration in this city was the civic parade this afternoon. It consisted of all the fraternal. civil and trade organi- zations of the city, together with a long procession of floats. The parade passed through the court of honor, where Presi- dent Mckinley, his cabinet and a distin- guished company reviewed it from a stand in front of the white house grounds. There was much merriment and enthusiasm and the parade was distinct success. It was over an hour passing the reviewing stand. After the civil parade there was a floral process sion of flower decorated carriages, but these were few in number and this fea- ture was a disappointment to the crowd. Colonel William Dickson was the marshal of the civic parade, which comprised Knights of Pythias, Knights of khorassan, American Protective as- sociation, Mounted Citizens junior order of United American Mechanics, manual exhibits of the city schools, Butchers Benevolent associations. the organized German societies of the district, the let ter-carriers, Central Labor unions and other trade organizations and large number of floats decorated by the lead ing firms of Washington.

THE REINA MERCEDEs.
Question as to Hcr Mcnucing the Health
 of Norfolk.

l Washington, May 24.-The navy de- the captured Spanish cruiser Reina ! Mercedes at the Norfolk navy yard, if
 it can succeed in allaying the apprehen-
 sions of the people of Norfolk as to the | safety of the movement. There has | been some telegraphic correspondence between the navy department and Ad- miral Farahar, commandant at the Norfolk navy yard, respecting the ad- | mission of the ship to the navy yard.
 Surgeon General Van Reypen has giv- en the matter his attention and recall ing the fact that the Mercedes has been
 under water since early last July, that there never was fever aboard of her,
 and finally that there is no fever at
 Santiago, whence she came, he has rec
 commended to Assistant Secretary Allen,
 who is in charge of the repair of ships,
 that the original plan be carried out and that the Mercedes be brought to the
 Norfolk navy yard Surgeon General
 Wyman of the marine hospital service
 was first consulted by Surgeon General
 Van ReNpen. as he is in charge of the
 national quarantine service at Norfolk, and he declared that there would be no danger in adopting this course partic- ularly as he would have the Mercedes thoroughly disinfected and cleaned
 The navy department has not vet re- ceived the application of the board of aldermen to have the ship sent to New York but unless the Norfolk authori- ties interfere the Mercedes will not be sent north before she is repaired. A board of inspection will be appointed immediately to survey the ship and es- innate the cost of putting her in thor ough repair.

SALOONS TO CLOSE IN BALTIMORE.
Five Hundred VIII Quit tho Business --
 The Cause.

Baltimore May 24-Five hundred sa- looms in Baltimore, it is estimated, will quit business. Some of them have al- ready closed their doors and others will follow. The cause of the great shut down is the determination of the Mary land Brewing company, which controls nearly nine-tenths of the beer output of the city to abandon the practice of pay ing for saloon licenses in order to force its products on the market. Last year on May IS, applications for licenses filed with the board of liquor license commissioners numbered 2,451. On the same date this year only 2,291 applica tions had been filed, a falling off of 160. It is safe to say about one-flfth of those who have applied for licenses will not buy them In a circular issued by the Maryland Brewing company it is shown that the saloon business has not been legitimate in the past, as breweres have been compelled in competition to fit out saloons, buy licenses at an expense of $276 and even advance other money to saloonkeepers, The result has been too many saloons in one neighborhood, and a consequent serious damage to busi- ness.

He was returning from visit to a patient on Kimberly avenue in a coupe to which was att tached spirited horse and driven by his regular driver, when the horse be- came suddenly frightened and ran away. The efforts of the driver to stop the animal were in vain and it contin- ued on its mad course through Kim berly avenue toward Howard avenue. pr. Ives, opening the door of the coupe, decided to escape and jumped out while the horse was running at its top most speed. In doing so the doctor was violently thrown to the ground, sustain ing an injury to his left knee and face. He was, however, not as seriously in- jured as might have been supposed from the manner in which he jumped from the vehicle. The dri..r was unable to stop the horse until Congress avenue was reached,
