Fifty Thousand Men in the Land Parads
Climax Of Celebration.
New York, Oct. 3.-The land parade
today capped the climax. The city,
state and nation united in vast dem.
onstration worthy of the hero of Manila.
The earth trembled beneath the tread
of $4,000 men, and the air was torn
with the shouts of millions. The ma.
val parade of yesterday was magnifi-
cent and superb, but the wonder OF
modern times was the great land pa.
rade. Thousands of proud men of our
land and sea forces, the militia of IL
states and the veterans of the civil and
Spanish American wars swelled the
procession and gave 1t the dignity in
size that it boosted in sentiment.
Admiral Dewey, the hero of the day,
and the officers OF the fleet, in all the
glory of their gold-laced uniforms and
gold.trimmed cooked hats. were in
open barouches. Mayor Van Wyck
sat beside Admiral Dewey. The front
seat of the carriage was banked with
beautiful floral pieces. The hero was
recognized by the people on the in.
slant, and the cheers and huzzahs along
the line of march, seemed fairly to lift
the sky. Everybody cheered and nearly
everybody jumped up and down in
frantic enthusiasm.

cal, 900.
Washington, Sept. S0.-The British
commissioner to Samoa, Mr.. Eliot, has
received from Apia full report ON the
claims made by the British subjects
for damage resulting from the bonn.
bardment and the native uprising.
The claims aggregate something over
$37, 900. OF this amount about $780,.
600 grows out of the depredations OF
the Mataafa rebels in January and
March last while some $4,000 is for
losses resulting from the bombardment
of the British.American naval forces
and the succeeding operations on land.
The original amount of the claims was
doubled the amount now submitted to
the British commissioner as they were
first subjected to rigid scrutiny by a
British official at Apia. Mr.. Eliot
called at the White House today and
had talk with the president, in the
course of which Mr.. Mckinley ex.
pressed his satisfaction with the work
of the Samoan commission.

GIGANTIC SWlNDLiNG.
Cause Of the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
changes Suspension Of Business.

Cause Of the New Orleans Cotton Eek.
changes Suspension of Business.
New Orleans, Oct. 2.-1ntense excite
ment prevails on the cotton exchange
here, and the directors of the exchange
have met and suspended business.
The New York market is closed today,
and the only quotations this morning
to guide local investors were from Liv.
erpool. The market had scarcely
opened when the operators had become
paralyzed by advices clicked from over
the ocean. 1t showed futures jumping
in leaps and bounds. In half an hour
reports showed that the Liverpool mar.
ket had jumped nearly cent. The
whole exchange went wild, and the ex.
element spreading to the streets, mul.
titudes crowded around the doors OF
the building.
At 10 O'Clock meeting of the di.
rectors was called and prompt action
was taken, suspending all business.
Operators were unable to explain the
tremendous jump, and it was the com.
mon belief ON the floor that the wires
had been tapped and that gigantic
swindling game was on foot some
where.
Private cables were going to Liver.
pool by the dozens, seeking informa.
ton. While the Geographic wires were
bringing news of the advances at Liver
pool, private cables to prominent local
cotton firms were bearing the news
that there had been little or no change
from yesterday in the Liverpool mar.
ket. This at once aroused the sus.
picions of the operators, and caused a
hasty meeting of the directors.
The action of the directors in order.
ing a suspension of business checked
the panic, but only temporarily allayed
the excitement, and there is suppressed
anxiety to know the solution of the
puzzle.
The directors officially announced
later that today's suspension is due to
fraud. Operators estimate that the
loss suffered here on account of the
swindle will amount to more than

The peanut is growing in favor,
though it's popularity cannot be said to
have ever waned. Yet now 1t Is consid-
cred in the new light Of valuable arti-
Gle Of food. TO some people the only
thing that will prevent ready accept
ance of this nut as staple article OF
diet is its cheapness and commences.
Serve 1t rs you will, to these people the
suggestion Of commences will cling to
It still. The almond Is an arlstocrat,
but 1t Is not to be deemed that the pea
nut is hopelessly plebeian. The former
carries with 1t an association Of culture
and chicness; the latter bears an unde-
niable air Of communism and circuses.
But 1t Ia the trail Of the peanut rather
than the nut itself that Is Objectionable.
'Divested of it's outer husk 1t loses much
Of it's Ill repute. And 1t may truly be
said that the peanut Is the emblem Of
democracy. 1t Is for the people.
Though crude and ungraceful in form,
It has lifelong powers and can sustain
nations. Let the American eagle bear
one within Its beak.

Montreal. Oct, 1.-Two hundred ana
fifty scantily clad, baggage bereft men,
women and children were on board o,
an inter.colonial special which steamed
into Bonaventura depot tonight. Ihey
comuosed the greater number OF those
who sailed from Liverpool SEPTEMBER
IA on the steamship Scotsman, oouno
for Montreal, which was wrecked on
the shores of the Straits OF Belle Isle ~
$3.50 O'Clock the morning OF the 2lst.
It was not only tale of shipwreck
that they had to tell, but one OF death,
of suffering and pillage, for fifteen, ~
least. of the Scotsman's passengers
persisted, all suffered cruelty from cold
and privation and almost the WORST
horror of all, the men who were sup
posed TO succor and assist those com.
mitted to their care in the hour OF
need, turned on the helpless passengers
and with loaded guns and revolvers
compelled them to part with the few
valuables they had saved. Captain
Skrimshire and his officers were excep-
tons. For the honor of the British
merchant marine, the crime may not
be ascribed to the men engaged in 1t,
but to gang of wharf rats and hang
ers.on, picked up on the docks at Liver
pool to replace the usual crew OF the
Scotsman, which joined the seamen's
strike on the other side.
The list of those who persisted is as
follows: First-class passengers-Mlss

the stage manager of the "Sign OF the
Cross company; Mrs. Robertson and
infant; Mrs. Scott; Mrs. Robinson,
wife of the manager Of the Sunlight

editor of the Toronto Globe. Second.
class passengers-N1rs. NJ. NJ. Scott,
Mrs. Watson, Mrs. Talbot, Mrs. Tut.
hill, Mrs. SHELTON Mrs. Eliza Watkins,
Miss B. Weavers.
1t will be noticed that all who per-
ished were women. This is accounted
for by the fact that they were occu-
pants of the first boat which left the
steamer after she struck and which was
swamped before it could get clear OF

Great Britain that not long ago a writ.
er seriously contemplated the posi-
bility that England would some day
consist of a number Of immense cities
surrounded by districts of market gar
dens, while the rest Of the island would
be as wild and uncultivated as the
wastes of Central Africa. Without &C.
cepting this prediction quite literally,
It Is still nevertheless true that the
movement In question Is going on in
this country as 1t Is In England. The
young men of to-day are most Of them
reluctant to adopt any pursuit that In

Thousands Of them do not realize their
cAticipations. and live meager, discon-
tented, unpromising lives. 1t Is a mis-
taken choice. The hope Ia that the
multitude Of these failures will ulti-
mately bring about readjustment Of
the popular conception of country and
city business life. Meanwhile educa-
ton will be extended and specialized.
1T Is imperative that educational meth

lin DEWEY'S HONOR
The Great Marine Parade at
New York.
BOATS BY THE HUNDREDS
O,vmria and the Warahips Led the Pro-
cession- Route Was Up the
North River.

New York, OCT. Zine n@vWi Nv
rade, from the standpoint of the war
ships, was an immense marine picture,
a water pageant with 20 little OF Incl
dent, copamred with its great size,
that it appealed to the eye as a paint
ing rather than drama. The vast
gathering OF water craft maintained an
average speed OF eight knots, but SO
magnificent was its area that the i'm
preston was one of exceedingly 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 brilliant
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 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 pa 81
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 Inns
was Strengthened out up the harbor.
Admiral Dewey was going to his own
place at the head of q squadron that
would have won, at need, three battles
of Manila bay without stopping for
breakfast.
The head of the column was broad
arrow. Six torpedo boats spread ont
ut 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.
Thanking 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.
full vanguard was not limited to a
single OF sextuple line of ships. 1t
was sinuous marine monster half a
mile wide, whose vertebrae were the
ships OF the white squadron, and whose
ribs were rows upon rows OF every sort
of floating thing that had ever run by
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, decked out us 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.
