New York, Oct. 3.-The land rarade
today capped the climax. The city,
state and nation united in a vast dem
onstration worthy of the hero of Manila:
The earth trembled beneath the treaa
OF $4,000 men, and the air was torn
with the shouts of millions. The ma
val parade of yesterday was magniil..
cent and superb, but the wonder oi
modern times was the great land pa

beautiful floral pieces. The hero was
recognized by the people on the in
stant, and the cheers and huzzahs along

tne sky. Everybody cheered and nearly
everybody jumped up and down ID

NEW YORK 5 NAVAL PAGEANT
The Great Marine Parade in
DeWey's Honor.
BOATS BY THE HUNDREDS
cession-Sir Thomas Upton Shared
the Enthusiasm With the Hero.

New York, Oct. 2.-The naval pa
rade, from the standpoint of the war
ships, was an immense marine picture,
a water pageant with SO little of Incl

that it appealed to the eye as paint.
ing rather than a drama. The vast
gathering of water craft maintained al
average speed of eight knots, but SO
magnificent was it's area that the i'm.
preston was one of exceingly slow and
stately movement. The picture was
continually changing, but it melted
slowly in such measured rythm from
form to form that the sense of motion
was largely lost. 1t started under
brilliant sky, passed at the mouth of
the Hudson through the threat of an
ugly storm, and emerged through
rainbow arch that stretched from shore
to shore into clear and briliant
sunset off the Grant tomb.
The night had been busy one in the
fleet of warships off Tompkinsvlle.
The last details of the days ceremony
were hardly settled before the day
itself broke on a scene of greater activ-
ity than the classic anchorage had
ever witnessed before.
The great vessels of the white squad
ron swung at their anchorage as for
the past two days, but the crowd of
neighboring craft had been swelled pas4
counting. AS far as could be seen the
water was mass of moving steamers
The evolution began at l O'Clock,
and in Is minutes the fighting line
was Strengthened out up the harbor.
Admiral Dewey was going to his own
place at the head of a squadron that
would have won, at need, three battles
of Manila bay without stopping for
breakfast
The head of the column was a broao
arrow. Six torpedo boats spread out
'at the bar, three on side, from the
Olympia's quarter. Outside of them
flying wedge of police patrol boats
formed great V, whose apex was the
Olympia.
Flanking them, ahead and astern,
were the harbor fire boats, spouting
great columns of water that turned
threateningly toward the excursion
boats on either side when they at
tempted to crowd the line of march.
But the pageant back of this power

single or sextuple line of ships. 1t

mile wide, whose vertebrae were the
ships of the white squadron, and whose
ribs were rows upon rows of every sort

steam in New York harbor.
From the time the British yacht
Erin started she certainly was the
chief attraction along the river front.
after the Olympia had gone by, and
Sir Thomas Upton was accorded an
ovation all along the line. To those
on board the Erin, dec1ed out as she
was with flags of all nations, it looked
as If the American people were greatly
pleased with Sir Thomas, and were
delighted at an opportunity to give
him hearty welcome. They ran
alongside in tugs, barges, launches and
big excursion steamers, and shouted
all sorts of complimentary things to
him, while the tall yachstman on the
upper brigde of the Erin wore a smile,
and not infrequently called back his
thanks for the kind wishes.

OPIUM THAT NEVER CAME.

SAN FRANCISCO August 31.-Gus
Moore, a fireman on the transport City
of Puebla, had narrow escape from
arrest on the eve of the vessels depart
ure for Manila last Tuesday. He was
caught boarding the vessel with a valise
of suspicious appearance, which was
cOntisCated by d. r. Wheeler, special
officer employed to watch the transport.
The valise was found to contain eighty
tins of unstamped domestic opium,
which it had been the evident intention
of Moore to smuggle into Honolulu.
Moore was permitted to sail on the YES
sci, but Wheeler retained the opium
and turned it over yesterday to the Of
fiCials of the Custom House.

EXODUS TO PEARL HARBOR THIS
AFTERNOON.
Crews in Excellent Shape-Healan
Senior and Myrtle Junior Stock on
the up grade-Passenger Facilities.

This is the afternoon of the great
championship races at Pearl Harbor.
Indications are that the events Will be
witnessed by the largest crowd in the
history of the championship racing here.
The first train for the harbor leaves
the depot at LAS. 1t will take quite a
party. The second train, which will be
composed of a large number of closed
and open cars, will leave at 3 o'clock
sharp. Accommodation in this line
will be better than last year.
Race indications have changed little
since yesterday. In the senior event,
Healani stock became a shade the
stronger this morning. While betting
is even there are more Healani men in
the field and they are becoming more
persistent.
The ground lost by the Myrtle seniors,
however. seems to have been gained by
the Myrtle juniors. 1t is no trouble at
all to find hackers of the latter crew
although no odds are yet thought Of
The public tendency, summed up, seems
to be to favor the Healani seniors and
Myrtle juniors. AS the opinion is so un-
settled, however, there may be a change
before the events come off.
Reports from the Myrtles are to the
effect that all of the men are in ex-
cellent shape. One of the HealanI
juniors is bit indlsposed. but probably
not so as to effect his rowing or lasting
qualities Klebahn, of the Healani
seniors is in fine condition despite re-
ports to the contrary
Most of the stores are closing this aft
ernoon in order that clerks may attend
| the races. AS so many people will be
out of town it is believed there will be
| little business anyway until after the
| trains return about 730 this evening.
The Oahu Railway Company has plac-
ed the round trip fare to the races at IS
cents. General Passenger Agent Fred
! G. Smith will personally conduct the big
| 3 o'clock excursion.
Many freak bets are being placed on
| the races, as we'll as bets of money IN

A. L. C. Atkinson, James Lloyd and
Aleck Macintosh, by the terms OF

f. A. Berndt for the Myrtles against

to wheel a barrow over the principal
streets of Honolulu.

BODY FOUND FLOATING IN THE
HARBoR.
While out Playing the Little Fellow
Tumbled Into the Water and Was Not
Recovered Until Quite Dead.

The bodyNof young child named Ga
briel Kaaua was found floating in the
bay near the railway wharf yesterday
afternoon and was the subject of a cor
oner's inquiry this morning.
The child, boy, was 4 years of age
When found the boy was on top of the
water. There was bad cut on the lip
when examined by the physicians.
At the inquest it was brought out that
a number of children, including the
brothers and sisters of the dead young
ster, went down to the neighborhood Of
the railway wharf yesterday afternoon
to play. Late in the afternoon all went
home except the child. Strange. to say
he was not missed either, by any of the
party. When a search was made an
hour later, the body was found floating
on the top of the water.
The conclusion of the coroner's jury
was that the child fell in some way
hurt itself and then landed in the bay.
The verdict was accidental drowning
The jury was the same as has the
handling of the Murdon case on Mon
day.
In the early forenoon there were ru-
mors of foul play in the matter which
caused some annoyance to the police.
But the evidence was such as to dispell
any such idea. Deputy Marshall Chill
ingworth prepared himself to handle
the proposition in case there was any
thing peculiar about the death, farther
than has been related.

IN JAPANESE INTERESTS
THE KOBE SHIMBUN SENDS A
CORRESPONDENT HERE.
Comes to Investigate the Industrial
and immigration Questions-Petition
for Women-A Friend of Nanpei.

The financial and commercial inter-
ests of Japan are evincing the greatest
interest in the possible action of Con-
gress in regard to contract labor in Ha-
wall The Kobe Shimbun, the leading
Japanese daily paper of Kobe has sent
special correspondents to Honolulu and
San Francisco to study and report on
the industrial and immigration situa-
tiOn as ii relates to Japanese or may be
affected by legislation in regard to Jap
an and the Japanese. Shigetaro Nine
kishi is the correspondent sent to Ho-
nolulu and @. Asagawa the one sent to
San Francisco. Both gentlemen are in
Honolulu at present and are thoroughly
looking up the situation.
Mr. Minekshi is especially interested
in the subject of the disparity of the
sexes among the japanese immigrants
coming here, and one of the purposes of
his Investigations will be to see IL there
can be a remedy for it. He says that a
petition has been sent by the Japanese
of the Islands to the home Government
in Japan, asking that efforts be made
to secure permission for the emigration
hither of unmarried Japanese women of
good character to become the wives of
Japanese already here so as to over
come the disparity of sexes in the Jap
anese population, and reduce the i'm
morality that always exists in a COM
munity where men greatly outnumber
is cause of prejudice and opposition
to the Japanese.
Mr.. Mnekishi is a well informed and
travelled gentleman and a credit to Jap
anese Journalism which in sending him
here has shown enterprise equalling
! that of the best American papers.
Some years ago, he was in the Caro-
line Islands in the interest of a Jap
anese trading company and became ac-
| quainted with Prince Nanpei whom a
number of Honolulu people also know
personally and admire. When Mr.. Mi
nikshi heard, early in this year that
Nanpei had been imprisoned by the
| Spniards for alleged completely in reb-
ellion, he Joined with u. Taguchi. a
member of the Japanese Parliament
in note to the Spanish Minister at
| Tokyo asking for his release. In this
note he spoke of his acquaintance with
| Nanpei and his admiration for him and
very warmly endorsed him as a man of
character whom it was certain could
not be guilty of the charges against
him
