string to Be Promoted.

ploye of the Treasury Department

Treasury examination with an average
OF 50 out OF i00, or more. will not be
required to undergo another eXamina-

as requirements for the service were
concerned. To pass the examination the
candidate had TO make an average of
75, emitting him or her TO the promo
tion in case there were any vacancies
to be filled.

very attractive, and, as usual there

The faultless weather seemed to act
as an incentive, and the band played
each number with so much spirit that
it was applauded long and heartily.
The program was another of the de-

DETROIT VISIT ENDED
eresident Participated In and Re-
viewed Military Parade.

Detroit, Sept. 23.-President Roose'
velt's two days visit to Detroit came
TO an enl last evening at the conclu-
sion of banquet rendered him in
Light Guard Armory by the Spanish
War Veterans, the opening of whose
third annual reunion he attended yes
terday morning. 1t was a brilliant
event. Nearly 500 men sat at tables
on the floor of the big armory, and
the galleries were crowded to their ut
most capacity by brilliantly gowned
women and their escorts. When the
president rose to begin his address,
which was the first of the evening, he
received an ovation. He eulogized the
veterans Of the Spanish war for their
deeds. and declared that we have no
apologies to make for the war in Cuba
or in the Philippines. AS result OF
the latter, he said. we will give the
Filipinos life. liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness such as they never knew
under cruel oligarchy operating
through the Society OF the Katipunan.
Yesterday afternoon President
Roosevelt participated in and after
ward reviewed the military parade
Never were such crowds seen in the
streets, and never was man given
greater popular ovation in this city
than the president received yesterday
afternoon.
The different bodies were formed
into company column after the presi-
dent had driven past and when the
signal was given the review began.
In the first division was the Twenty
first Regiment, Essen Fusiliers, from
Windsor. Ont. For the first time, a
president of the United States reviewed
a regiment Of British soldiers. The red
coats and white helmets of the Cana
dians were in sharp contrast to the
sober blue of the United States troops
as they swung past at smart pace,
their splendid band playing "The
British Grenadiers" They received
an especially cordial salute from the
president, and throughout the after
noon the "redcoats" were cheered 10
the echo by the crowds.
