Last Call While Passing RHieW-Tbab $1,000 Took Part the
Grand POCeSSiOn-Hearty Cheers Greet Old Abe

last call was tenderly removed and his
comrades passed on.
The first cheers from the reviewing
stand were given 10 the famous old
war eagle of the Wisconsin troops,
"Old Abe" the stuffed figure of which,
borne aloft by a brawny buckskin
dressed veteran, was heartily greeted
by the crowds and saluted by Gen.
Miles and the others in the boxes. The
post escorting "Old Abe was closely
followed by Lucius Fairchild post,
which startled the crowds by stopping
in front Of Gen. Miles and Commander
Shaw, giving the familiar "Rah rahs"
of the University of Michigan It was
somewhat cracked and feeble, but It
showed the undimmed spirit that made
the Iron Brigade famous, and it started
the crowd to cheering again. a few
moments later George G. Meade post,
No. /, of Philadelphia, filed by. Borne
aloft by "a silver haired veterans were
as many battle flags, tattered and torn
by bullets, and close behind them ten
equally ragged corps flags They were
the first of the many battle flags car
ried in the parade that were seen by
the thousands along the line OF march,
and everywhere the ragged banners
were greeted with cheers.
One of the most striking features OF
the parade was the appearance Of the
Iowa veterans. thousands in number.
Speaker Henderson received an ova-

thundered out by a thousand or more
Veterans, was as follows:
Were from the Wild Rose state.
From Iowa, Iowa.
Just across the Mississippi river.
Iowa, Iowa;
And we're just the stuff"
Speaker Henderson laughingly ac-
knowledged the salutes, and then the
veterans raised their voices IN some
thing a little different With the unan-
unity and enthusiasm Of a football
crowd they hOwled the following:
"Hurrah. hurray, corn and hay;
We're the boys from Ioway.

MEMBERS OF IMPERIAL
FAMILY HAVE ESCAPED

London, Aug. 29-That the mex
plicable delay in forwarding kilograms
from the Chinese capital still contin-
ues is illustrated by the fact that the
latest dispach from Pekin, the tele-
gram of a special correspondent de-
scribing the search for Boxers" in the
Imperial park, is dated no later than
Aug. 81.
There is no confirmation from any
source Of the report Of an advance
northward from Pekin On the con-
trary, a movement southwark to clear
the country and to insure free COM
munication with Taku is apparently
in progress. The powers. as late as
Aug. 21, were still unable 10 agree as
to how to deal with Pekin itself, the
Japanese and Russians being at vari-
ance as TO whether the imperial pail
aces should be destroyed.
Nor is there any further news Of the
alleged detention of ii Hung Chang
by the admirals. Probabilities increase
that all the members of the imperial
household have gotten safely to the
interior. The report regarding Ii Hung
Chang was given out at Paris yester-
day, and was as follows:
Admiral Courrejolles, the French
commander in Chinese waters, has
cabled to the navy department here
that a council of admirals has notified
the foreign legations at PelSin that il
has been decided to hold Ii Hung
Chang on board ship until the opening
OF negotiations between the powers
and China"
A Reuter- dispatch, dated PelSin, Aug
Is, and sent by post to Shanghai, de-
scribes scenes of appalling desolation
and wanton destruction in Legation
street. All the houses OF foreigners
were riddled with shells, burned OF
blown up. An attempt was made to

CAPTAIN CHARGES CRUELTY:
ALABAMA, QUEEN OF THE NAVY
CrenShaW, Volunteer, Alleges Outrageous Treatment on
Transport Sherman New BattIeShip Develops
Magnificent Speed on Trial "Trip

Atlanta Aug. 29.-Capt. Frank Cren-
shaw, Tswenty-ninth volunteer infant
~, died here yesterday. Capt. Cren-
shaw saw service in Cuba and the Phil
ippines, and a wound received in the
battle of Putola caused his death. Capt.
Crenshaw, who arrived in Atlanta a
week ago, made a statement to his
father in which he charged outrageous
treatment and neglect on board the
transport Sherman from Manila for
San Francisco The statement was to
the effect that after the vessel left Ma
Mia, and was on the high seas, officers
in the state rooms next to Capt. Cren-
shaw's complained that he kept them
awake by the sufferings from his
wound. He was taken from the state
room and. paralyzed in the left side
and unable to lift his head and almost
unconscious, was placed in a berth
down in the hold of the ship, near the
engines, in the midst of the insane men
who were confined there
Capt Crenshaw said he was unable
to hold himself in the berth and fell
out three times while the ship was rid
ing olat storms in the China seas. He
finally bribed hospital steward with
S25 to give him some attention. Ae
San Francisco Capt. Crenshaw al
leges that treatment was refused him,
the surgeon in charge informing him
that it was impossible, because of lin
tied assistance in the hospital. The
wounded officer, accompanied by his
uncle, then started for Atlanta, and an
operation was performed here.

Chicago, Aug. 29-For four hours
and half yesterday the thinning ranks
of the Grand Army of the Republic
passed in review before the leaders and
before probably a million spectators
packed in almost solid masses along
four miles of the line of parade. 1t
marked the climax Of the 34th annual
encampment of the association Of vet
Grams who filled the pages Of history
with deeds Of heroism during the weary
years of the civil war. and was, accord
ing to Commander-in-Chi Shaw, the
greatest parade since that day in
Washington, when the hundreds of
thousands of veterans, the most power
full army on earth, marched in review
to their final disbandment.
Probably 10000 members OF the army
of veterans took part in the parade.
For exactly four hours and twenty
minutes, most Of the time with ranks
almost perfectly aligned, but occasion
ally faltering under the burden of their
years, they filed past the reviewing
stand on Michigan avenue, saluting as
they marched by Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
Commander-in-C Chief Shaw, Gen. Dan
iel Z. Sickels, Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
Acting Governor Wardner, Mayor Har-
rison, Speaker Henderson, Senator Gull
lom and the Spanish minister, Duke
D'Arcos.
Weather conditions were almost ideal
for the parade, wearisome at best for
the silver haired veterans. The rays
of the sun were yelled by light, fleecy
clouds nearly all day, and even when
unobscured their effect was greatly
tempered by a cool breeze which blew
steadily off Lake Michigan. The line
of march, too, was much shorter than
ever before mapped out for the annual
parade, its entire length not being over
four miles, but Notwithstanding this
here and there a veteran, dazed and
exhausted, dropped out Of the ranks
Especially was this true after the re-
viewing stand was passed, and many
pathetic scenes were witnessed down
the long stretch Of Michigan avenue as
the veterans fell by the wayside.
One especially sad incident occurred
to mar in a degree the glory of tht
parade, Charles Bcclywith, OF Algonsea
Mich, dropping dead as the line wa!
filing past the corner Of Michigan ave
nue. and Madison street The parade
was halted for q moment. the body d

street and remain about her decks

Sunday night. according to the testi-
mony heard by Magistrate Kochers-

day. Instead of remaining aboard the
Clyde on the night she was robbed
Sullivan was seen by Night Clerk Gill,
Of the Arch Street House. promenading
that street about / o'clock in the morn-
ing carrying a weighty satchel in his
hand. Gill's testimony and that of
Captain James Otis Of the Clyde, led
to Sullivan's committal under $4,000
bail to answer the charge OF larceny.
Otis was the leading witness. He
said that Job Smith, the purser OF the
vessel, had charge Of ali money re-
ceived. lhese were placed in a safe

Sunday night there was about $3.50
aboard the boat, representing two days

HOT CONTESTS AT PRIMARIES
Big Work Ahead for Democratic Voters
in Making Up Their Ticket
From Much Material

Anything to beat Ford" is the cry
that will be carried to Dover on Sep
tember by the Democratic delegates.
All candidates for delegates and can
didates for county offices filed their
names yesterday, or previously, with
which met in the Young Mems Demo-
cratic Club yesterday afternoon. The
lists show that there is fight in every
ward in the city, and In three of the
rural hundreds for delegates to the
state convention.
The contests that are developing
have the anti-Ford spirit in them. Mr..
Ford's candidacy for gubernatorial
honors does not meet with the approval
OF the majority of Democrats, and
doubt Is entertained by his followers
as TO his ability to control the New
ICastle county convention. There seems
TO be no concerted effort on the part
or the Wilmington Democrats to throw
their strength TO any particular candi-
date for governor, but all seem to be
against Ford. The advent OF Alvin r.
Morrison into the fight will draw con-
siderable of the Ford strength and may
tend to centralize a greater part OF the
deposition TO Mr. Ford
j Mr.. Morrison has been making a de-
teruined fight throughout the county.
I He has not hesitated about going into
a prospective opponents stamping
ground. In every hundred he has made
his appeal for support and his ear
nestness has brought him a host Of sup
lporters.
One Of the most interesting fights for
delegate nomination will probably de-
velop In Red Lion hundred, where For
mer Fish Commissioner James Multi
gan is the leader of the Ford forces.
Here a split delegation probably will
be chosen. In Blackbird hundred the
fight will be directed solely to defeat
Ford without favor to any other candi-
date.
The list Of candidates for the county
was completed late last night. 1t shows
chat there are four candidates for sher-
iff, four for coroner, two for receiver of
taxes, three for county comptroller,
! three for Levy Court commissioner in
the First district; two in the Third,
three in the Fourth and four in the
Fifth. In the latter district there will
be a hard fight for successor to the
present chairman, William A. Scott. In

Washington, Aug. 29.-Several COM
munications came to Washington from
the United States officials in China
yesterday, but being dateless in most
cases the government was by no means
satisfied with the state of the COM
munications, and the cabinet meeting
gave the larger part of its attention to
the problem of rectifiying this state
OF affairs Evidences Of interference
with the messages have accumulated
to a point where the government has
determined to take steps to establish
channels of its own, even il it is
necessary to employ the rather expen-
sive device Of a man-of-war plying be-
tween Shanghai and Chefoo for this
purpose. Meanwhile word comes that
rapid progress is making with the
shore cable, which is to connect these
points, and it Is believed that within
a week this means Of communication
will be open.
Three messages from Gen. Chaffee
were received yesterday, and while
they cast no direct light on the mill
tary situation, they were inferentially
important The generals statement
that he needs no siege battery, taken
in connection with the diversion Of the
First cavalry, which was bound for
Taku to Manila, seems to make clear
that there is no intention TO enter into
a prolonged campaign in China, such
as would involve the use of heavy ar
tillery or Of reinforcements in the
shape Of men and horses.
At the same time it cannot be said
that the government has shown any
sign CT a purpose to abandon any just
claim IL may have secured upon China
through the brilliant operations of the
little American force in the Flowery
kingdom But it seems to appear that
the battle Of today is one of diplomacy
rather than one of arms, and notwith.
