 CHEERS FOR HIM.
The Greeting Accorded His Com mand- Templar Parade-Met With Continu-
 ous Hurrahs-Great Enthusiasm All
 Along the Line of Mnrch-DIentton of
is Name Causes n Great Outburst.

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 27.-It is esti-
 mated that 300,000 people to-day wit messed the parade of the Knights Tenn
 plar. Thirty thousand knights in full
 uniform were in line, forming an im- posing spectacle with which to begin
 the twenty eighth triennial conclave.
 The march started at 9:30 a. nl and was finished at 130 p. r., after cover ing a distance of four miles. The weather early was clear and cool, but by noon the heat became somewhat op- pressive and there were eleven cases Of prostration due to heat and exhaustion. Sir Knight Irwin Batnard of Green vile, Ind, was overcome while march ing. His condition to-nigth was re- ported serious.
 portion of the Y. M. c. A. review ing stand at Fourth street and Broad way collapsed. Half a dozen people sustained bruises and Mrs. James Car narhan of Washington suffered a broken ankle.
 The crack communicates from Chi cago, Pittsburg and San Francisco at tracted special attention by their mag niffcent appearance. Columbia com mandery No. of Washington. D. C., came in for applause all along the route as Sir Knight Rear Admiral Schley is a member of it and had been expected to march with his comrades. Although he was absent, at every point in the course, when the Washington men appeared the crowd took up the cry "Schley, Schley, Hurrah for Sch1ey.''
 Later when the formal exercises to the knights was extended by Judge Barker of Louisville, acting for Cover nor Beckham, and Former Congress- man w. c. P. Breckenridge, the men, tion of Schley's name elicited applause so enthusiastic that both speakers were compelled to stop for several minutes. Colonel Breckenridse delivered the chief address. Grand Master Lloyd re- sponded briefly. The key to the city was presented to him by Mayor Weav- CT. It was so late when the programme was completed that there was little time time for the actual business of the grand encampment. Fireworks, excursions on the river and other di- versions occupied the visitors time to- night. Several of the commanderies held re- captions, among them being Pittsburg No. 1, Wheeling No. 1 of Wheeling, l w. Va., and the Grand Commandery l of New Hampshire

SCHLEY GIVEN WITNESS LIST
IT'S UNDERSTOOD TO BE HEADED
 BY SAMPSON.
SchIey's Counsel at Liberty to Suggest AddittOns-Both s des in Some In- stances Call the Same Witnesses All the Officers of the Brooklyn to Testify.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The navy de- partment to-day, through Captain Lemly, the judge-a advocate of the court of inquiry supplied counsel for Ad- miral Schley with a tentative list of witnesses to be called before the court by the government It is understood that it contains and in fact is headed by the name of Rear Admiral Samp- son. Some of the witnesses named may not be called while on the other hand not only may the government add to the list, but Admiral Schley's coun- sel are at liberty to suggest addit ional names.
 The list will be made public to-mor- row.
 Some time ago Admiral Schley in sending his list of witnesses to the de- partment included requets for all off, ficers of the Brooklyn. The depart ment relied that number of the off, cers of the Brooklyn would be on the list prepared by the department and asked him to have specifically named the Brooklyn's officers he desired. The admiral responded to-day through Col onel Parker of his counsel. He gave the names of the principal officers of the Brooklyn and also of several petty officers, including the quartermasters who were at the wheel during the ac- tion off Santiago

CONSTITUTIONS BAD SHOWING
May Have Been Caused by Badly
 Wrenched Plates.

Bristol, R. l., Aug. 27.--The Constitu- tion got bad wrench when she grounded in Oyster Bay the other day, adding to the injury she sustained by striking an under water obstruction during the recent New York Yacht club cruise, for several plates were found to be in bad shape when the yacht was dry docked this afternoon. A diver To- cated the bad places and frightened the plates so that they did not interfere with the railway on which the sloop was hauled.
 At the time the plates were loosened, during the cruise the trouble seemed of little consequence, but the hard rac- ing the craft has done since then has tended to loosen the sheathing screws on this plating 1t is thought quite possible that much of the yachts un- satisfactory work may be attributed to the condition of the plates on her keel.
 The Constitution was hauled out at high water this evening and prepara- tions made for the scraping of her un- der body. A diver had worked about her prior to the hauling out As soon as the diver came up at o'clock the crew proceeded to lower the craft on the railway. She was taken out by degrees and at 6 o'clock she was high and dry with the exception of three or four feet of her fin. MT. Duncan was present at the time.

SHAMROCK'S FINE SHOWING
EMPHASIZES GOOD OPINION AL- READY FORMED OF HER SPEED.
Tried on Nearly Every Point of Sailing and Agree That She is the Most Dan- gerous Proposition Ever Sent Over Here-Gathers Way With Remarkable Rapidity, is Quick in Stays and Points Very High.
Very High.

| New York, Aug. 27.-Shamrock II.
 was given good long spin to-day both inside and outside the Hook. She was
 tried In windward work and broad and
 close reaching. In fact, the challenger
 was given everything except a spinna- ker run ine a breeze that sometimes
 piped up to twelve knots and at no time was under eight. Every test only served to emphasize the good opinion already formed of her speed, merits and ability to carry lofty canvas. Experts who saw her performance call her a wonderful boat and agree that she is the most dangerous proposition that has ever come over the waters hunting for the Americas cup. She had life in her every minute. She gathers way with remarkable rapidity, is quick in stays, points very high and stands up well under a tremendous spread of can vas. as evidenced by the fact that at no time to-day did she put her rail un- der, even when wearing around, close hauled, taking q twelve-knot breeze abeam.
 The only new sail tried to-day was her largest clubtopsail. It was revel- ation to those who saw it and is cer- tainly one of Ratseys finest creations. It appears much larger than the top- sails on the Columbia and Constitution. It extends further out over the gaff, and runs up higher above the topmast It is said that the distance from the foot of the mast to the top of the top sail club Is over 190 feet. The sail sheets out very well and there is less looseness along the head than on either of the American boats.
 Sir Thomas Lipton was on board dur ing the entire trial, and when seen at Sandy Hook after the racer picked up her moorings seemed much pleased with her showing. This Is the twentieth spin which the boat has had" said he, | including her races on the other side. | She is improving all the time, and I am more pleased with her to-day than ever before At no time did we carry any | water on deck. She had life every min- |

TRIED TO TAKE HIS LIFE.
Edwin M. Nealc of Cham bern In Street
 Cut His Throat.

Edward M. Neale, foreman for the Farren Brothers spring bed-makers on Artizan street, was taken from the basement of the factory shortly before 12 o'clock last night, with his throat cut and bleeding, and the odor of lau-
 danum on his breath. Neale was found
 by his brother-in-Iaw, George M. Mac
 Kenzie, who rushed to the police sta-
 tion for assistance. The ambulance
 was called out and the injured man
 taken to the hospital. He left home yesterday noon and had not returned at his usual time. His absence was most unusual and the family began to get worried. They were aware of his condition and were fearful lest he should meet with some misfortune
 Earlier in the evening MT. MacKen- zie was in search of his brother-in-law and thought he might have done him. self some harm. Mir. Mackenzie was very much worried and said Neale had been up late nights a great deal and he was apt to fall asleep wherever he felt disposed. It was difficult to awake him when he got to sleep, and 1t was thought he might have been locked up for drunkenness. Neale is not drink ing man and the case was peculiar one.
 MT. Mackenzie left the police station after being assured he would be noti- fled if anything was learned about his brother-in-law. About five minutes be- fore twelve he rushed back to the po- lice station and said he wanted a doc tor, that his brother in-law had cut his throat, and swallowed poison. Ser geant Cooke instantly surmised the case was one for the hospital and the ambulance went out on run.
 Neale is married and lives at 30 Chamberlain street. He has several children and of late has been troubled with insomnia, and 1t is thought the man committed this rash act in a fit of desperation. Up to late hour this he had not died and the hos pital physicians were working over him.

NOT so DANGERO US.
Shamrock Not as Good as Columbia or
 Consultation

New York Aug. 27.-The Mail and Express yachting expert is not much impressed with the Shamrock. Writ ing of to-day's trial he says:
 'The work of the Shamrock to-day shows her to be not nearly as danger ous as many suppose. She needs a good deal of wind to move fast; she carries ugly bow and quart ering waves,
 both on and off the wind and in the jump of the sea outside Sandy Hook she displayed twenty-five minutes of particularly dirty work, shipping a good deal of water all the time. Ex- perts who saw her to-day said that she Is not bit better than the old Sham rock.
 ''She is more loggy to the eye, but quicker in stays. She never went closer to the wind than five points, although she was handled to hairs point, and at times stood up very stiff. In close reach up the bay, after turning the southwest spit at 1 D. m., the Shamrock showed her ability in this line in the most undeniable style. She went along at a fifteen mile clip at times.
 Judged fairly, the Shamrock shows herself to be hardly the equal of the Columbia or the Constitution in either beating to windward or in reaching, but it would seem that in a closer reach she will doubtless hold her own. In this style of reaching to-day she travelled from the spit buoy to the Mar rows ahout seven and three- quarter miles, in Al minutes. Unless the Sham rock does better in windward work the cup is safe"

 London, Aug 2S.-'Li Hung Chang has notified the ministers of the powers that the Chinese plenipotentiaries are now authorized to sign the protocol" says a dispatch from Pekin to the Times, and has requested them to fix a date for the signing. An edict con- corning the importation of arms was circulated among the ministers to-day. Two other edicts are still required to complete the protocol"
 Berlin, Aug 27.--In view of the fact that the expiatory mission of Prince Chun, brother of the emperor of China, was one of the conditions of peace em- bodied in the demands of the powers. the interruption of the journey of Prince Chun. who is now in Basel Switzerland, has created considerable comment. The excuse of sickness is entertained seriously. Taken in conjunction with the sudden. deten- tion in Shanghai of the expiatory mis- sion to Japan, it is believed to indicate fresh complications with reference to the signing of the protocol in Pekin.
 The German papers, which comment in guarded way, suggest that the de- lay of Prince Chun is due to an intim ation from Emperor William as to cer- tain matters of ceremony and etiquette with which Prince Chun is unable or to comply without permission from the Chinese court
 Basel, Switzerland, Aug. 27.-The Chinese minister to Germany, Lu Hai Houan, has arrived here from Berlin to consult with Prince Chun.

Britain Must Strike Hard and Often
 Everything Depends Upon vigor and
 Persistence in Pushing the Burghers.
 London, Aug 2S.-The editorial in the Times to-day on the South African sit uation reflects the cold fit which has followed the optimistic hopes as to the effect of Lord Kitchener's proolama- tion. Commenting upon the meagre news from the front the Times says:
 Tt is quite clear, that if we want an end of the war we must strike hard and often. Proclamations and block houses are all very we'll and may be useful; but the experience Of the Span- iards has shown that the most sonor- ous proclamation is of little good with out plenty of men and horses.
 Everything depends upon vigor and persistence in pushing the Boers in the field. Are we providing those means for the warm season which soon be-  gins?"
 London, Aug. 2S--The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Mail, con- firming the report that Emperor Nich- olas and Emperor William will meet at Dantzig, September 10, says: T have learned also on the best authority that the czar is now disposed to intervene with regard to the Transvaal and that the war will be discussed with M.
