The Hoo Hoos followed the stock yards

entirely unexpected. 1t was a float rep

to be performing an initiation ceremony.

DEMANDS HUGE SALVAGE.
Schooner Captain Asks for $40 Each
for 22O Pieces OF Scotsman
Ba~rare.

ST. JOHNS, N. F.. Oct. 5-A schooner
with 80 pieces of luggage belonging TO
passengers of the British steamer Scots
man, which went ashore in the Straits of
Belle Isle while en- route from Liverpool to
Montreal. arrived at Change Island from
the wreck to-day. The master of the
schooner claims $40 per package salvage,
asserting that Captain Skirmshire. of the
Scotsman, promised him special remunera-
ton for taking the luggage instead of or
dinary cargo.
Legal proceedings will probably be insti-
tuted to compel the schooner'S captain to
give up the property.
The wreck of the British steamer Bay
State. which, while bound from Liverpool
for Boston. went ashore near Cape Race,
is now entirely submerged, and salvage op-
erations have been abandoned.

NO. 6-CHlNESE.
Easily the Feature of the Di-
vision of CeIeStials

The Chinese division, headed by its STAN
dard bearer with a mammoth American
flag and its band beating tom-toms, was
easily the most striking and the richest
division of the parade. Over $1,000 had
been spent on costumes alone, and the
gorgeous Oriental effect produced by this
rare display was appreciated along the
entire line of march by continuous ap-
plause. Following the Chinese band came
six Chinese marshals on horses. headed by
Ge Yu and Charley Jung Yen. Then
came Cinnamon marching under umbrel-
las followed by ten more carrying halberds
of steel richly designed and mounted. One
float was an exact representation of a
Chinese joss house with its inmates. and
another represented a council chamber in
the palace at Peking. a Chinese woman
and several children were seated in a beau
tifully decorated bower.
The most appreciated feature. however,
OF this division was a mammoth mytholog-
ical dragon brought from Hong Kong,
where il was used during the Chino-Japan
war to inspire the Celestials with martial
fervor. This dragon was one-half block
long and was really ominous with its
hideous head and myriad scales flashing in
writhing sinuousness. Over 300 Celestials
were in line, and they received many eX-
pressions of favor along the route. This
division countermarched on Broadway and
gave a special display in front of the
Coates House for the benefit of the visit
ing editorial party being entertained on
the spacious front balcony.
