EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Excelsior Parlor, N. S. G. W., made
a very creditable appearance in the
mammoth Admission Day parade in
San Francisco.
The Jackson folks appeared to enjoy
true holiday spirit. They did credit to
the mother lode.
The fog and sea breeze did not add
to the comfort of spectators during the
parade at San Francisco, Monday, but
those In line did not suffer with Eeat
and there was nc fear of sunstroke.
Probably l25s000 to l50,e00 visitors
helped San Francisco celebrate the
States birthday Excellent order pre-
vailed throughout. The police arrange
ments were perfect, and Chief Sullivan
and his staff of able officers deserve
much credit.
Judge r. c. Rust, Grand President
of the Grand Parlor N. $. G. W., and
Mrs. Gett, Grand President N. D. G.
w, led the Grand March at the Pa
vilion Ball, San Francisco, Tuesday
night. The Judge and his distinguish
ed partner did the honors admirably.
Through the courtesy Of Mrs. Ed.
Turaev. wife of the President Of Excel
sior P;trlor No. 81, N. S. G. w, TIE
editor of the LEDGER had an excellent
unobstructed view of the entire parade.
1t was an imposing sight, and one to
be remembered for half century at
least.
San Francisco was never more brill
iantly Illuminated than during the re-
cent Admission Day celebration.
Grand President r. c. Rust was
among the distinguished few who
breakfasted with Gov. Gage at the
Palace Hotel, Tuesday morning.

There's no need therefore TO "write to a

There may, however, be need for a

vice of the mother. In such case the
offer of free consultation by letter, made
by DR.. Pierce, opens the way to health,
and at the same time avoids the un-
pleasant questionings, the repulsive ex-
aminations and offensive local treatments
which less experienced physicians often
insist on.
Any sick or ailing woman is invited to
write to Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, in the strict
est privacy. Each letter Is held as a
sacred confidence and its answer is sent
in plain envelope, bearing no printing

COLoRED MEN DISSATISFIED.
VIII Protest Against Action of Conn

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 1S.-A meet
ing Of colored men who are here as dele
gates or lookers-on was held to-day for
the purpose Of discussing the action Of the
national committee in refusing to place on
the temporary roll the delegates who repre-
scented the regular Republican organiza-
ton in some Of the Southern States. Will
lam Copeland. ex-member of the Ohio Legis-
lature acted as chairman, and among the
twenty five or thirty present were j. A.
Browne W. H Clifford and s. II. Thomas.
of Ohio; Charles Anderson, of New York;
Bruce Boyle, of New York. and Mr..
Marshall, Of Illinois. Several speeches were
made. The sentiment was in favor of
sustaining the position Of National Chair
man Hanna and Secretary Dick regarding
the matter, and 1t was resolved to bring
to bear all the pressure possible upon the
committee on credentials to induce 1t to
reverse the action of the committee and
to recognize the delegates of the so-called
regular organization. 1t was asserted
that If this was not done, that If the
lilly white Republicans were accorded
representation the effect on the colored
voters. not only in the South. but in the
North, would be manifest in the next
election.

CT a direction 20 protect all American in
terests, and to that end to act concurrently
with the representatives of the other pow
ers. 1t Is explained that in the opinion Of
the authorities this order conferred upon
Admiral Kempff ample power to seize
forts, to fight or to do anything. in fact, on
the sole condition that in his judgment his
acts should tend to the protection of Amer
lean interests.
1t was learned at the British embassy
this afternoon that there were two British
admirals in the Pei-Ho river. Admiral Sey-
mour and Admiral Bruce. Therefore Taus-
sig's reference to the arrival Of the British
admiral at Tien-Tsin does not mean neces-
sarily that Seymour has arrived with his
foreign column.
Included in the detachment of one hum
dred marines with the international ex-
petition sent to the relief of the foreign
residents at Picking are the following
welI-known officers of the Marine Corps:
Major l. w. T. Tweller and Leutenants r.
Leonard and n. l.. Jolly.
In view OF the international character OF
the attack upon and capture of the Taku
forts. some interest may be felt in the fol-
lowing statement prepared by Major Simp-
son. In charge Of the military information
bureau of the War Department: Taku is
situated at the mouth of the Pei-Ho or
southern bank of the river. about sixty
seven miles from Tien-rsin. with which Il

circulate until quite late I'm the evening,
but the effect was soon apparent. There
were many real friends OF Roosevelt who
accepted his declaration as absolutely voic-
ing his wish It changed the current of
talk, and men who were confident twenty
four hours ago that Roosevelt's nomination
was a foregone conclusion began asking.
We'll, who will it be-
The answer was generally, John d. Long.
of Massachusetts,. secretary OF the navy.
At once delegates began to reason that
Long must be perfectly satisfactory to the
administration, of which he is part, or
he would not be candidate for the place.
This idea received encouragement in quar-
tiers which made the Massachusetts, man
prime favorite. OF course. there was talk
of other men. The friends OF Dolliver re-
newed their efforts for the young Iowa
orator. There was some talk about Fair
banks, but the prevailing feeling was that
only men who were willing to accept the
place should be considered. 1t was urged
that an unwilling candidate was not de-
sirable, and, therefore, the men most talked
of were Long and Dolliver. but with the
general impression that Long would be the
ultimate selection.
And so the stampede for Roosevelt was
checked and turned, and that which
seemed certain last night seems well-nigh
impossible tonight. Roosevelt himself, his
close personal friends working among dele
gates and assuring them that the nominal
ton was not desired by him, Senator Han
ma and his lieutenants. all working to-
gether, are responsible for this result. 1t
has been a day of hard work, Of earnest en-
deavor, and tonight the men most inter-
ested believe the Roosevelt boom has
finally been laid to rest.

The Notifications consist of three forts; a
