BATTLESHIP OREGON ASHORE.
Our nig Wnr Vessel Said to he
Fnst on the Island OF
Hoo Kie.

Washington, July 1.-The following
dispatchcs were received at the navy
department Saturday morning rela-
tive to the grounding Of the Oregon:
"Che-Foo. June 29.-Secretary OF
Navy: Anchored yesterday, dense
fog, in II fathoms. three miles south
of How Iie light, gulf of Pc Chi III.

The Zafire. at Che-Foo, has been sent
TO assist Oregon, reported by Rogers
on a rock south How Ike light. Iris
going to her assistance.
"REMEY."
Washington, July Pinnacle rock,
where the Oregon ran aground, is
about 25 feet high, and lies three and
two thirds miles south of How HI
island, and about a mile and quar-
ter n. II. e. of the island OF Sac Lu
Shan. The rock is encircled by a
shoal, and should not be approached
nearer than three cables. According
TO the photographic bureau officials,
there is strong current from three
to five knots speed always prevalent
in this vicinity, and this fact, together
with the dense fog that prevailed at
the time, greatly enhanced the dan
ger in navigating the Oregon. The
officials of the naval photographers
office say there is great rise and
fall of the tide at this point (about
ten feeD, and it is possible that the
Oregon may be lifted off in this way
and set afloat without assistance.
Capt. WiIde's statement of the in
iuries sustained by the Oregon is
scarcely sufficient to enable the naval
constructors here TO form a definite
opinion as to the prospects of saw
ing the famous ship. They say, how
ever, the ship probably can be saved
il the weather does not become rough,
but, unfortunately, this is the season
of storms in Chinese waters.
Washington, July 2.-The navy de-
partment has received no further
news of the battle ship Oregon,
aground. of the Chinese coast.

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.


Maj Gen. Otis came to the city last
week. The Generals purpose is to OBJ
tain an assignment to active duty. he
has been ON waiting orders at his home
in Rochester, or near by, ever since his
return from the Philippines, in the early
Summer. He is now thoroughly rested
and in excellent physical condition, and
desires to return to work. He preferred
a formal request for duty to Secretary
Root, and this request is now under con,
sideratiOn. The retirement Of Maj.-Gen
Wheeler as commanding officer Of the De.
partment of the Lakes, with headquar-
ters at Chicago, is the first available open.
ing for an officer of the rank Of Gen. Otis
and it is probable that he will be as
signed to this post.
An order has been issued by Secretary
Root. by direction of the President, nam
ing the new military post to be built at
the mouth Of Nome River, Alaska, Fort
Davis, in honor of the late Jefferson Co

He commanded the first troops ever sta
toned In Alaska, and was a brevet Major
General for distinguished service in the

JOINT PARADE.
Five Thousand Naval Veterans and Ex-Pris-
oners March observation-disclosures Elected

EIN0 4uuuoduu HdNd1 fclcEduo anu LA-fIiS-
oners March observation-disclosures Elected
The joint parade of the Naval Veterans
and the ex-Prisoners of War, the former
escorted by Veterans of the Spanish
American war and Naval Reserves, and
the latter by a battalion of the Illinois
National Guard and the Boys Brigade
representing the soldiers Of the past, pres
ent and future, was the feature of Mon
day. This parade took place under the
most favorable circumstances, and the
coolness of the weather enabled thousands
TO witness the pageant.
Just before the start of the parade the
Naval Arch, forming the south end of the
Court of Honor, was dedicated to COM
memOrate the sailors and marines hero
ism. Standing in the shade of the arch
in Michigan avenue, near Harmon Court,
Albert ID. Shaw, Commander-inCh Chief of
the Grand Army, declared the naval veter-
ans were as great in deeds if not in num-
bers as the army veterans. Then, ad-
dressing the public, he said:
Chicago should transform this plaster
arch into marble, and let il stand a perpet
nal monument to the greatness of that
navy whose members soon shall have
passed away. We are too reluctant to
build permanent monuments"
DR.. Il. T. Murdock followed Gen. Shaw
and echoed his sentiments.
Commodore George l.. Seavey accepted
the arch in behalf Of the veterans, Bishop
Samuel Fallows. offered the dedicatory
prayer, and the parade followed.
The Naval Militia of Illinois and the
sailors from the revenue cutters, who led
the procession, made a striking contrast
with those naval veterans whose service
to their country was nearly 40 years ago.
Trailing their one-pounders behind them,
the young sailors set a pace to the strains
of the martial music which must have
taxed the veterans not little to follow.
But they did, and the cheers which greet
ed the men Scared by the powder of the
rebellion attested the fact that the people
have not allowed the recent naval tri-
umphs to overshadow the deeds of long
ago.
