Three of them, in consequence, show ed signs of weakness in the drill. The judges were General H. F. Robinson Major James H. McChntock and Cap tain J. F. Elwell.
 The competitive individual drill which followed was ndd a very exact ing incident. The winners of the three gold medals were Privaites Clarence Laney, first, and Private Harry Trus- sler, second, of Tempe, and Corporal Powell third of Company B.
 A free vaudeville performance was advertised to fellow the drill, but ow- ing to the fact that the drills lasted till such a latte hour there was only time in the afternoon for one trapeze performance. This, however, was well executed and loudly cheered.

tam J. L. B. Alexander. The review was altogether a creditable perform ance. The Indian cadets and the h. dian school band particularly elected the most favorable commant from east ern visitors. Speaking of the former, a stranger standing on the Ford h5tel veranda said: This gives me a new idea. If Uncle sam ever gets into trouble he'll know where to get fight ing mater.al. If they can fight like | they drill they'll cuJ d figure in the worlds warfare"
 I'm more surprised at the band" said another. 'I didn't suppose an In dian could ever learn anything about music. Why, I couldn't learn it my self"
 The Normal cadets entered the com petition first. Their movements We're quick and accurate. It is not discredlt- Ing to say that they were going through a routine drill and doing it well, the natural result of long prac- tice. They were loudly cheered by the Normal students in the grand stand and on the street.
 The Indians followed with a half hour exhibition. They were not quite So precise in movement as they had appeared in review but that was a circumstance due to the fact that they had been taught the tactics of the regular army, which are not produc- tive of precision in small field. Nor were the movements of the Indians quite so snappy. In the exercises of the manual of arms the Indian cadets seemed to be rather superior.
 The award was made with respect to line, distance, quickness, accuracy and command and the NOrmals were given the prize, the silver loving sup won by the Indians a year ago. Captain Wickham commanding the Indians said no fault could be found with the award. They were at a disadvantage Which, of course, could not be taken into consideration. The company con sisted of thirty-seven men, while there were only twenty-five of the com peting company. The Indians had also marched in from the school ani had taken part in the morning parade.

 THE START.
 The mounted police. with J. W. Ben ham, grand marshall. and his aides, preceded the parade, and then came the military division. In the lead was the Indian school band with thirty two pieces and a drum major. Major McClimock. commanding the military division, came next, accompanied by unattached officers of the National Guard of Arizona, mounted. In the first battalion, commanded by Major w. E. Mullen, were Co. B, 1st Infan- try; Co. E, 1st Infantry; Co. c, 1st In fantry, and the Normal School cadets
 In the second battalion, Capt. F. w. Hill commanding, were, a detachment of the 1st Territorial Infantry; veter- ans of the Spanish-American war and a troop of rough riders.
 The third battalion. Capt. J. J. Wick ham commanding, drew forth the greatest applause. Three hundred stu dents of the Phoenix Indian school marched as they always do, in perfect ranks, while cheer after cheer greeted the young redskins. The battalion in cluded companies A, B and c of the cadets and companies B and c of the girls. Three floats from the Indian school attracted great attention. One in particular was especially novel, consisting of an Indian buck astride q pony, while poles fastened to the sides of the horse dragged in the rear the primitive carriage. which held his squaw and her papoose, a perfect type of the Indian vehicle which antedated the wheeled wagon. Another feat held several blacksmiths from the Indian School working away at their trade, and still another contained part of the wagonm making establishment os, the school.
 The municipal division was led by Mayor Gang and other city officials, in carriages. followed by Miss Monihon, queen of the fire department. whose carriage preceded the department, q in cluGing all the men and apparatus of the Pioneer service. and the ancient vehicle which served as the first fire engine. The Phoenix band of twenty two pieces and the Mesa band of eighteen pieces were with this division.

THE GREAT PARADE
A Gorgeously Novel Spectacle Viewed
 By An Immense Throng.

The Arizona populace en masse. The glitter Of gilt, the flash of arms, the wild, aboriginal tint, the wierd orien- tai hue, the dignity of the military, the blare of the bands. Such was the opening scene of the carnival.
 Not less than twenty thousand peo- pie, perhaps half again that number, witnessed the great parade. At day break the grea, crowd began to form, and at 10 o'clock a surging mass of humanity packed Washington street from Fifth avenue to Fifth street. Centering at the grand stand and the queens throne, the dense multitude waited for the parade. On the throne stood Acting Governor Akers and the military staff, accompanied by several laGi-s. Across the way the immense stand was filled from bottom to top with host that certain ly tested it's strength and found it nQe wanting. Balconies and porches and windows served well as points of vantage, while every inch of available space on sidewalks and streets was used by the waiting horde.
 It was a cosmopolitan and a very good -natured crowd. Pretty girls stood side by side with swarthy In- dians, almOnd-eyed Celestials looked on in joy and pride at the really wonder ful exhibition given by their country men; handsome senoritas, decked in their Sunday best, vied with their fair CT sisters in giving the toning touch of femininity to the spectacle.

THE INDIAN VILLAGE
A Strange Scene of a Camp on an Old
 battle-ground.

Located a short distance east of Phoenix, on ground which was once the battlefield of a bloody conflict between Apaches on one side and Pima and Maricopa Indians on the other, there is presented to the visitors of the Phoenix carnival of Indians and cow boys, a picturesque, wild and interest ing scene. Contingents of Pima and Maricopa Indians, from their reserva- tions, have hastily established a small village, where they will camp until the conclusion of the festivities. They have been called upon to entertain the guests of Phoenix by daring feats of horsenanship, wild dashes through the city, and bow and arrow shooting, but it is likely that the horGes of people attending the various features of the carnival could not be better enter tained by visit to the Indian village, where the redmen. in their native sim plicfty, living as they have for centur- ies on the deserts of Arizona, are seen as they assemble on their reserva- tions. While displaying their horse nIanship abilities and bow and arrow shooting the reds paint in gaudy col ors At their village, they throw off all OSIenJdllOn, dllu dl ulSHl, NIllle HeS- tied around their camp fires, in groups from ten to thirty the Indians pre- sent a scene that novelists fa!l to ac- curate!y describe. Like stoics they assemble around the miniature camp fires, smoke their pipes with evident satisfaction, while, occasionally, smile plays across their features, as some wise man relates a funny incl dent.
 The other night after the crowds of curiosity seekers deserted the Indian village and the redmen as is customary prepared to listen to a story before wrapping their blankets about them and lying down to pleasant dreams, Juan Jose, an old Indian medicine man of the Maricopa tribe, who estimates that he has seen about 100 summers, raised his hand as if to command the attention of the entire village, and a profound silence settled over the cu- rious community. In loud voice he

block on each side, the queens carriage appeared and the Impressive scene be- gan. Drawn by a black team the car riage drew up 10 the throne, and lowing in response to a spontaneous burst of applause, Queen May was assisted by her prime minister Sir John w Cren- shaw, to her throne, accompanied by her page and heralds. Immediately fol- lowing came her ladies in waiting, her maids of honor and the gentlemen of the court.
 WHAT THEY WORE.
 Her majesty and her ladies were garb- ed according to the fashions of the time of Catharine de Medici, the queen in brocaded satin, crusted with pearls and diamonds, and a robe trim med with ermine. The maids wore white brocaded satin, of Marie Antoinette style. The prime minister was attired in white satin, the master of ceremo- nies in pink brocaded satin, and the gentlemen of the court in lavender satin. The pages wore black suits of velvet and the heralds had green coats with maroon knickerbockers.
 The ladies in waiting were Mesdames Harry Heap. Leslie Lalfmer Barkley and Ancil Martin. The maids of honor were the Misses Para Kimban. Annie kibbey, Nanette Johnson ard Reba Heyman. MT. L. c. Masten was master of ceremonies, the gentlemen of the court were Messrs. P. A. Gilmore. Clay Parker, Lloyd Damron, Ned Creighton. Will Mcbride, Will Kane, Walter To- gan and George Pieronnet. The pages were Hazel Goldberg and Carrie Me Neil, and the hera'ds were Arthur Lunrs and Eugene Goldman.
 As the queen mounted her throne her l2dies in waiting and maids took their seats in front and below her. the gen tlcmen following. The officers of the military staff stood at attention below the throne as Acting Governor Akers paid tribute to the queen and congratu- lated her upon the suspicious circum- stances attendant upon her coronation. Director General Lewis was next to greet her majesty, and then she gra- ciously received the staff officers. May or Ganz and the members Of the city

THE MILITARY FEATURE.
The Normal Company carries Off the
 Loving Cup.


 The military tournament took place in front of the grand stand as soon after noon as possible. The Normal and Indian school cad-ts, the military companies of Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa reported in front of the grand stand at 1:30. They were more punct- ual than the crowd, which had only assembled in small numbers. but re- ceiveG constant accrstiOns until two o'clock when the battalion dress pa rade and review took place under un- favorable circumstances. It was i'm possible to keep the crowd out of the street and the way of the moving sol diers. Driven out, it immediately sJlrged back as soon as resistance was removed. The persistency Of the crowd once furnished an excuse for a prstty maneouver. Tbe Indian con- pany under the direction of Captain W1ckham moved against it like powerful automatic press and squeezed it lack to the curbstGnes.
 The review left l1,tle ground to base a forecast of the competitive drills. There were only two companies. The Normal cadets and the Indian school boys.s The former Were harmonious in action and rather quicker in action The latter moved like a great, precise and gray machine. The review took place under the direction of Major James Fl. McCHn5cck and Acting Ad- ju1ant Captain George D. Christy. E W. VGusln, aide.

 The Prime Minister, Sir John Cren- shaw, read the queens message, bidding her subjects rejoice, ard offering thans to Providence for the recent rains that have blessed the valley. The formal programme ended, the time was devoted to a sea- son of diversion, consisting of a vaude- vile bill and children cake walking and fancy dances, before the throne, Reed and Burger introduced several clever specialties in song and dance and dia- logue work, there was a trapeze eXhi- bition by two acrobats, but the best part of the programme was the juve- nile dancing.

ENGLAND DISREGARDED
On the Theory That She Had Already Abrogated the Clayton Bnlwer Treaty is Urged by Some Senators. Others Mainly Democratic Want to Turn Down the Whole Hay Pauncefote Arrangement on Gen eral Principles

Washington, Dec. 1O.-The senate spent almost five hours today in exc cutive session considering the Hay Pauncefote treaty. There were five or six speeches made, some of them by senators who had not spoken hitherto upon the treaty and others by sena- tors who had previously expressed themselves. Among the latter was Senator Morgan, who returned to his former speech, elaborating somewhat his position as ito the effect of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. He took issue with Senator Teller as to the purport of the first clause of that treaty claim ing that it applied only to Great Brit aims right to fortify\ Nicaragua canal itself.
 Senator Teller replied at some length, asserting that the provision was of more general importance, as he said anyone could ascertain for himself by reading President Budhanan's views on the subject when he was minister to England. The declaration then made, showed plainly, he said, that England had attempted to extend her rights beyond the immediate vicinity of the canal. MT. Teller then proceed ed to again elaborate his views on the general subject, repeating his declara- tion that the United States should con- struct the canal, if at all, regardless of the English position and without go- ing through tine foumalfty of ratify:ng the pending treaty.
 During the session speeches were made by Senators Money. Stewart, Frye anu others. Senator Stewart an- nounced that he was for the treaty without amendment, and Senator Money, that he was against the treaty in any form. He wanted the canal built as much as any senator could, he said, but he considered the pending treaty little less than an insuTc to the intelligence of the American people. He had no doubt that if proper diplo- nsatic efforts should be made Tt would be possible to secure a complete abro- gation of the Clayton-B Bufwer treaty and that was what he wanted. He did not, indeed, believe that the people oS this country would be satisfied so long as any vestige of that instrument re- nained among existing international obligations.
 The oleomargarine bill was received in the senate but no reference to a committee was made owing to the ab- sence of Senator Aldrich of the finance committee. There is a contest between this committee and the agricultural committee as to which shall have charge of the measure.

Dr. SWet- nam's automobile had in tow a run about and surrey from the Lawrence & Clark Vehicle house, and u beVy of pretty school girls added gracs to the vehicles. The Tempe band preceded the Indians. and here came one of the most attractive portions of the parade. One hundred brawny bucks, clad in the glory of their war paint and gee strings, mounted on their ponies, and armed with bows and arrows, stirred the enthusiasm of the immense crowd, and a great demonstration greeted the warriors of the Pima and Maricopa tribes. Next came a band of Yaqui Indians, and the Cdd music from theIr instruments of dried gourds was d very
  ed, and then came the last and the best of the unique procession.
 THE CHINESE SHOW.
 Sixty Chinamen, attired in their native garb, gave the most in- teresting performance of the day A great American flag headed the division and then came a gor- geous banner, the yellow and the dra- gon, the emblem of the chinese na- ton, an indescribabIy handsome and odd cloth.

Stoping in front of the stand, short programme was rendered. the discOrdant notes of the Chinese nation al airs giving a strange tone to the scene, set off we'll by the gaudy dresses of the musicians, calculated well to lead one to the belief that he was in the Purple City and a witness to the reli- gious rites of the strange people of the saffron hue.
