Detroit, Mich, Aug. 29.-The mill
tary division of the order of Knights
of Pythias did itself proud in its BIZ
ennial parade, and the vast crowds
who witnessed the inspiring pageant
gave enthusiastic approval all along
the line of march. Nine thousand

musicians marched in rapid and or
derby manner over the route of five
miles and were officially reviewed
first by Supreme Chancellor Sample
and before dismissal by Mai. Gen.

formed rank
Detroit, Mich, Aug. 3O.-The grand
electrical and fireworks parade of the
Knights of Khorassan, announced as
the spectacular feature of Pythian
Wees, resulted in vast deal of crowd
ing and confusion. The police had
made no arrangements for clearing
the streets along the line of march.
The picturesquely clad Khorassans
were obliged to make their way
through narrow lanes opened through
the crowd, and much of the elaborate
~ prepared humorous features was
lost to great majority of the spec
tatOrs.
Mayor Maybury said that neither
the local committee nor the marshal
of the parade had made any request
for policing the crowd, and added
that the streets were never policed
on such occasions except by special
request.
Some $500 knights of the rollicl1ing
branch of the order took part in the
spectacle. a great many of the
marchers carried vari-colored torches,
others swords and scimitars of an
tique Oriental pattern. All wore tur-
bans or other quaint headgear and
clothes of Arab, Persian or Turkish
cut. The high pOtentates rode in a
canopied float, preceded by a repre-
sentation of the mythical temple of
the order. There were several elabo-
rate electrically Illuminated floats
and many of the funny features.
Following the parade most of the
khOrassan Anights boarded trolley
cars for the barbecue and midway,
which opened at jefferson park under
the auspices of the local committee.

John Longino, one a white man and the
other a negro. were bound over by Judge
Walter Colquitt in the United States com

a citizen of Campbell county. who tells a
narrowing story OF his experiences at the
hands of a crowd OF men of which he
claimed Stewart and Longino were the
leaders.
Adams. it seems. made a business OF re-
porting Illicit distillers, and when on a
hunt in that county, near what is known
says, by this band of men and whipped
numerically whole night long.
On the night OF the 2sth," Adams
says, Il stopped at the house of John
Longino, a negro. While there a white
man who gave his name as John Stewart
called me out and asked me if | wanted a
drink. accompanied him TO a spring
which flows near by. with the hope that
might be able to run against a still. When
| reached the spring | saw five or six men
IN waiting. Despite the darkness | was
able to detect that some Of them had their
faces blackened. Their white hands, how
ever, gave them away later. Stewart and
Longino were both there
THE memory of that awful night makes
me shudder yet. These men took sticks,

AN ARMY AND NAVY COLLEGE
Secretary Long Makes Proposal to
Secretary Root.

The Secretary of the Navy has sent a
communication to the Secretary of War
Offering him the use of the Naval War
College, at Newport, r. l.. as a school
for army officers who will make a speciality
of studying coast defence. The offer will
probably be accepted.
Secretary Long and Secretary Root have
had under consideration for some time a
plan whereby naval and army officers may
cooperate in perfecting the coast defences
of the country. Ii is thought that by
conferring together the naval and army
officers may evolve better system than
they could acting Independently.
The Naval War College is a large build
ing with abundance of room to accommo-
date classes of both naval and army off,
GERS, and it is expected that the coming
summer will see number CT officers to-
gether at the War College.
There is already a number of naval Off
GERS on duty at the college, and the army
officers will probably be assigned there at
the beginning OF the summer.

IMMIGRANT ARMY LARGEST
IN YEARS.

During Twelve Months Ended June
80 More Than 34l,oo0 Arrived
at New York alone.
Returns OF the Bureau OF I'm
migration for the year ended June
30 last, made public yesterday, show
that more immigrants arrived last
year than in any one year since 1893.
The records show that 34l,7l1 per-
sons were added to the population
OF the United Statee through the
port Of New York alone. The record
for the year ended June 80, 1899,
was 245,55O.
Nearly one third Of the total i'm
migration was Of Italiaus, more
than $4,000 10000 of whom ul | no!
read or write. They conpr sd one
half OF the whole number OF illite
rates, and we're chiefly from the
south or Italy.
The officials say that the charact-
er Of the immigration was poorer
than for years, the races from the
south and east Of Europe predom-
mating. A majority OF the arrivals,
they say, were undesirable acquisi-
tions to the population.
The immigrants consist of Arm.
enians, Bohemians, Croatiaus, Slavs,
Films, French, Germans, Hebrews,
Greeks, English, Irish, Italians, Lit.
huanians, Magyars, Poles, Ruth
eneans, Scandanavians aud Slovaks.
The increase for the first months
OF this year over the corresponding
period of 1899 is shown by the fol.
