Rode In Carriage Along Line
of Old Soldiers In the
Parade.
VETERANS STEPS WERE FIRM.
Hardly . Falterins Mareher Seen In
Whole Line-Providcnce Blessed
Them With Perfect Weather-spec.
tators Were Enthusiastic. :.

Washington, Oct. s.-The parade OF
the G. A. r. veterans yesterday was
the climax Of the thirty-sixth en-
campment of their order. Beginning
at a few minutes past 10 o'clock.
when the head Of the column moved
from its station at the Capitol, it was
almost 5 o'clock when the last squad
In the line had passed the place OF
DISARMAMENT, west Of the White
House. None of the soldiers were
marching any great part Of the time,
for the entire line Of march did not
exceed two and half miles in length,
but those who composed the rear de-
tachments were on their feet practi-
cally all day, much Of the time being
consumed in waiting to take their
places in the line. The route of the
parade was down historic Pennsylva-
MIA avenue. along which many OF them
marched as raw recruits in going to
the war In 1851 and 1862, and many
others on the occasion Of the grand
review after the close Of the war in
1865. The participants in the impos
ing pageant entered with life and
yigor into. the spirit Of the occasion.
Each countenance bore evidence o.
the Joy the experience brought to the
individual, and it was plainly evident
that there was in the occasion much
OF the restoration of youth for most
81 them. The "on boys" for the time
icing evidently were re-living the
days Of their youth. Not many Of
them exhibited traces OF age In their
marching. Almost without exception
they walked along with alacrity and
kept step with precision.
Providence Gave Perfect Weather.
Providence bestowed upon them per-
feet weather. The spectators were linn
tied in numbers only by the capacity
OF the broad sidewalks, the stands,
the parks, the windows and the
house tops along the line Of march
to hold them. The government de-
partments and the schools were
closed for the day. and practically
the entire population Of Washington
turned out to do honor to the veter-
ans, along with the hundred thousand
visitors to the city.
The president Of the United States
had himself driven up and down the
line in a carriage. The unusual inter
est thus manifested was appreciated
by the old soldiers and the president
was everywhere received by them
with loud applause
More than five hours time was con-
sumed by the procession in passing
the reviewing stand in front Of the
White House.
There were at least $4,000 men in
line and the estimate of Commander
in-Chief Torrance ran as high as co.
600 men.
Last night the veterans held camp
fires in the big tents in the White
House lot.

HARD GAME IN ROANOKE.
Contests on the GridirOn Between
the Big College Teams.

Roanoke, Va, October 25-Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and University Of
North Carolina played an exciting
game on Roanoke gridiron today IN
which neither team scored.
Virginia kicked off over the line and
North Carolina kicked out from twenty
yard line. Virginia caught the ball and
1t was see-Saw between them until Vir-
ginia made several yards gain and Car
penter, tried for a goal from the field,
but missed. In the second half North
Carolina kicked off and Carpenter made
a forty yard run Ito centre field. Caro-
lima got the ball but lost ten yards On
a tumble. North Carolina punted and
Carpenter made twenty yards run. II
was then a tug of war until the time
was up. The Tar Heels played the best
ball, but Virginia had the heaviest
team.
Cambridge, October 25.-Harvard was
held to a single touchdown by Brown
on soldiers field today but on the whole
played much better football than the
team from Providence. The score was
six to nothing. Twice the crimson
eleven was within striking distance o.
the Brown goal but tumble and e
mistake in signal prevented additiona
scoring.

IsTHMIAN CANAL COMMISSION.
Delay in Appointment Caused by
NOn-ActioH of Colombo Govern
ment.

Washington, October 25.-Non-action
on the part Of the government of Co
lombia on the pending Isthmian canal
treaty is postponing the appointment Of
the commission which is to take charge
Of the construction Of the canal. It has
developed that the ratification of the
treaty is long way of, owing to the
fact that the Colombian congress, be-
fore which the convention must come
has not even been elected to this time.
The delay is attributed to the existence
Of state Of war in Colombia, but it is
now expected that the congress will as
semble during the winter months.
The one fact relative to the commits
sion that has developed, is that Rear
Admiral Walker who has headed the
two preceding commissions. will be
the president Of the new commission.

London. October 25.-King Edward

after noon today in soLne what dull
weather. The rain, however, kept off,
and the temperature was sufficiently
mild to make the day enjoyable. The
procession moved from Buckingham
Palace to Trafalgar Square. Temple
Bar, the mansion house and Guild hall
where luncheon was served. Thence
the royal pageant traversed several
miles On the Surrey side of the Thames.
There was no special incident here.
though the heartiness of the welcome
far transcribed anything heard in the
more aristocratic portions Of the route.
Their majessties returned to the Palace
at 800 p. m.
The Sun says that George Martin, a
clergyman. was remanded at the South
wark Police court today charged with
having a pound OF gun powder in his
possession with felonious intent. He
was arrested near a stand on the south
side Of the river.
The arrested clergyman proved to be
religious enthusiast who objected ID
the erection of stand around st.
Georges church in the borough, and
VINO purchased a small quantity OF gun
powder. insufficient to do real damage.
He will probably be placed in an aSy-
lum. Rev. DR.. Martin was arrested at
the time Of the coronation Of King Ed
ward for a similar eScapade and he was
arrested at Buckingham Palace. where
he was demanding an audience with the
King on the subject of the erection OF
the stand around st. George church
When taken into custody today he made
| no secret of his intention to cause dam
age with the powder.

building where the luncheon was had
The firemen easily subdued the flames
| The fire is said to have been caused by

The outbreak Of the fire at the GuilC
| hall caused intense excitement. A larg,
