DRILL OF The UNIFORM RANK
THE PYTHIAN KNIGHTS HAD AN
ENJOYABLE TIME.
Electrical and Fireworks Parade OF
Nights of khorassHn Was the
spcctaculRr Feature.

Detroit, Mich, August 2s.-Belle Islo
was invaded by the Pythian army in
full force today. The knights left thels
encampment on the East Boulevard at
10 o'clock. marched across the long
bridge leading to the island park and to
the play ground commons on the casterly
part of the island where the biennial in
spection and review of the uniform rank
was held.
Sessions OF the supreme lodges wero
resumed today and some Of the reports
OF the committee were heard.
Twenty-four past grand chiefs of the
Rathbone Sisters were today admitted
TO the session of the supreme body OF
the womens orders. but without the right
TO vote. The reports OF officers were read
and referred.
The Pythlsn sisterhood Supreme Lodge
spent most of today's session discussing
recommendations in the officers reports.
The grand electrical and fireworks pa
rade OF the Knights OF Khorassan tonight,
announced as the spectacular feature OF
the Pythian week, resulted in a great
deal OF crowding and confusion. The po-
lice mad made no arrangements for clear
ing the streets along the line or march.
The picturesquely clad Kborassans were
obliged 20 make their way through mar
row lanes opened through the crowd and
much OF the deliberately prepared humor-
Gus features were lost to great major
ity OF the spectators. Some $500 of the
Knights took part In the spectacle. A
great many OF the marchers carried vari-
colored torches. others swords and soinl-
itars OF oriental pattern, All wore tur-
bans or other quaint headgeRr and clothes
OF Arab. Persian or Turkish cut. Ths
high potentates rode in u canopied fioat
preceded by representation OF the tnyth-
ical temple of the order.
Following the parade most OF the
knights boarded trolley cars for the BAR
becue and midway a. Jefferson park,
Tomorrow's principal features Will be

mediator II, unfortunately. Chinese du-
plicity We're not so apparent. Russia
wants the empress dowager retained.
Great Britain wants Emperor Kwang Hsu
at the head OF affairs. Germany runs the
risk OF being isolated or Of being COM
PEELED to confront coalition of several
powers. II after the arrival OF Count Won
Waldersee she should wish to continue
military action. perhaps even single-
handed. or II in her demands for redress
she should go further thGn the powers

Regarding the cause that led 10 the
Chinese troubles. Herr Won Brandt quoted
verbatim the text Of a remarkable report
made by the chief of the Russo Asiato
bank OF PolSin. june Is last. but not hero
tofore published, The passage o: tho
greatest interest is ss follows;
"A majority OF the Pekin legations have
decided to demand the creation Of for
eign settlements in Pekin. like those at
treaty harbors immediately after tho ar
rival in Pel5in of strong detaohments. NJ.
dc Giers CRusslan minister) win endeavor
TO reduce this demand to the appoints
nent Of foreign police commissioners IN
der the command Of the legations.
Several Of the legations desire a spe-
ciel regency over the emperor and tho
removal of the empress dowager from
power. but NJ. de Giers insists upon re-
tanning tho powers of the empress dow
ager, since the above arrangements would
induce several powers to demand the APP
uointment of their candidates as members
Of the regency"
This report did not reach st. Petersburg
until July 30.
Commenting upon 1t, Herr Won Brandt
remarked; This shows how far the
Pekiu ministers wished to 20 even before
difficulties began.

CHANGE OF

1voasury Department Preparing to Re.
ooin Porto Rican Money.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The treas
ury department has completed the ar.
rangements for the retirement of Porto
Rican money and the substitution Of
American currency.
The work is to be done under the
Porto Rican bill recently passed by con.
gress. which provides for the re.
tirement Of the Porto Rican peso
and all other money on the island
and the exchange therefor of American
money. 1t is estimated that there are
100000 coo pieces Of silver and other
metallic currency in the island and now
in circulation. These pieces are worth
100000 pesos. Congress has decided
that the exchange shall be made on the
basis Of so cents for the pesos. About
$3,OOO,OOO Of American money will
therefore be required to take up all the
minor money in Porto Rico. The first
shipment Of American money will be
made to the island between now and
May /. The Porto Rican none will
be brought back here as it is taken up
and recoined.
The exchange will be made largely
through the Porto Rican banking and
