dangerous for them as well as for her.
Under such circumstances il seems In
me that the recommendations of Presi-
dent Mckinley were eminently proper.
and that so far as Admirals Sampson
and Schley were concerned IL would
have been unjust for him to have made
other recommendations
.
Both Admiral Sampson and Admiral
Schley are now on The Eetired list In
concluding their report the members "
the court Of inquiry. Admirals Dewey,
Benham, and Ramsay. unite in stating
that they recommend that no further
action he had in the matter. With this
recommendation / most heartily con-
cur. There is no excuse whatever from
either side for any further agitation OF
this unhappy controversy. To keep ii
alive would merely do damage to the
navy and TO the country.

RED MEN OUT ON PARADE
Braves in Paint and Feath-
ers Exhibit Themselves.

One of the leading features OF the u
A R. program Yesterday was the parade
of the Improved Order of Red Men at
3 O'Clock in the afternoon. with sor-
geous war paint and feathers the braves
sailed forth from their wigwams anu
exhibited themselves up and down Penn
sylvania Avenue.
So realistic were their costumes that
had it NOT been for the fact that only
about half those in line were IN DIS
guise they would have been mistaken
for real Indians. Fully 200 participated.
A reception followed.
The line of march was from First anu
Maryland Avenue to the State, war ana
Navy building, where the band broke
up, returning in groups of twos and
threes to the headquarters of the order.
80 Pennsylvania Avenue. Here the Ia
dies of the Degree of Pocahontas were
assembled Some of them accompanied
the parade in carriages. During the re-
mainder OF the week the Red Men VIII
keep open house at $40 Pennsylvania
Avenue.
A Unique Feature.
The most unique feature of the pa
| rade was the float of Logan Tribe NO.
Is. This represented an Indian camp.
| On a platform ten feet square. which
was carried on ordinary wagon trucks
and wheels drawn by horses, were four
tents. In the center was campfire,
with the typical forked sticks OF the
warrior supporting kettle over it.
Four silent braves, in full costume,
stood at the respective corners of the
| float, apparently sentinels of the camp.
The floor was constructed to represent
the earth in the wilds OF the woolly
West.
| All of the Red Men walked except the
marshal of the day, F. W. Kahlert, OF
Usage Tribe, No. 6, and the great
sachem of the District, Joseph j. Cay
lor, who were on horseback. Mr.. Kah-
| lert and. Mr.. Caylor rode at the head
OF the procession, directly behind the
Red Mems band of fifteen members from
Idaho Tribe, No. Is, under the leadership
| of l.. H. johnson.
The parade formed on Maryland Ave.
nue. facing west at First Street The
tribes lined up in the following order
Seneca No. 2, Tuscarora No. 5, Usage
No. 6, Logan No. s, Mineola No. IA
Idaho No. Is. White Eagle No. 16, Sell
tese No. II. and Sioux No. is. The
men began to assemble at 2:30 o'clocl
and promptly at 3 o'clock, the houl
scheduled for the start, Marshal Kahler
gave the order to advance.
The tribes marched close behind eacl
other, making il difficult at times to dis
tinguish them. Each was nominally il
charge of its sachem. although the lin,
was supposed to be solid body in com
mand of Marshal Kahlert. The sachem
acted as his deputies. Among then
were the following: Charles Fuller
Tuscarora; H. Doxey, Seneca: William
II. Perkins, Mineola; Mr.. Lytz, Idaho
H. Wall, White Eagle; Mr.. Hartigan
Seltese, and y. Bunch. Sioux.

CAL|FORN|ANS ARE ACTIVE
Pulling Every Wire to Sc
cure 57th Enoarnpment.

Unceasing efforts are being made by
the California contingent to have the
next. the thirty-seventh, national en-
campment held at San Francisco, Cal,
in 1903. For this purpose MI. }. d.
I.aucb and Mr.. Phil K Gordon have been
specially designated to assist the CAN
fornia delegation in their efforts to nave
the next encampment held in Cali
fornia. Also, such prominent men as
Gems. William r. Shafter and X. ID.
warfeld have been just as untiring in
their efforts to secure the next gather
ing. General Warfield says:
1T seems desirable that another ma
tfonal encampment of the G. A X. shall
he held on the Pacific Coast before the
old age and iniirmities of comrades
makes it impossible for them to travei
long distances. The memories OF the
twentieth encampmenI at San francisco
are pleasant and instructive, and the
hearty and practical financial assistance
given is never to be forgotten.
in view of the fact that our dele
cation to Washington at this encamp-
ment was elected TO go there pledged to
work for it, we hope the convention will
be prepared TO look favorably upon our
claims. We want the thirty-seventh ma
tional encampment to be held in san
Francisco, in 1903, and trust you Will Dc
satisfied to favor the idea.
