San Francisco. Aug 2o.-Ten thousand
survivors OF the civil war passed in re-
view Wednesday, marching to the mar
tial tunes that inspired them 10 endeaVor
10 years ago Above the national colors,
borne by every marcher, proudly foated
torn and tattered flags. These, with
empty sleeves and limping gait, were elo-
Quent reminders Of the sorrow and glory
OF war. Unlike the parade of Tuesday,
with the Quick-marching line OF youth,
this procession was the measured and
steady tread Of age. AS the different d.
visions marched along waves OF senti-
ment passed over marchers and specta-
tors. There were many still vigorous In
line, but they waited for their weaker
comrades, and the column halted often
on its two-mile course.

NOT PART OF A MERGER
MEXICAN CENTRAL Is AN INDEPEND-
ENT MEXICAN SYSTEM.
Official Statement of III. Clay Pierce,
Chairman of the Directorate-Re-
form of the Finance

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-H. Clay Pierce,
chairman of the board of directors of the
Mexican Central Railway Company. made
the official statement to-day:
I'm view of my election to the voting
trust and directorate of the Seaboard Air
line Railway, ia association with one of
my fellow-directors of the st. Louis & San
Francisco Railroad Company, 1 think it
proper that i should e~mphaticaliy and I'M
equivocally deny the reports that have been
circulated during the past six months con-
corning the connection of the Mexican Gen.
trial Railway Company, lir1ited. with vari-
GUS american Railway combinations.
THE Mexican Central Railway Company,
limited, of which l am chairman. is as in
dependent of the Rock Island system as it
is of the st. Louis * San Francisco Rail-
road, or of the other six or seven railway
systems in the United States of which I am
q director.
THE Mexican Central has not made, and
does not expect to make, an exclusive alli-
ance with any single line or combination of
roads and will continue to be conducted as
an independent Mexican property. Tn con-
version of the outstanding income bonds,
which are a menace to the company's prog
ress, into semi-annual interest-bearing de-
benture certificates of the Mexican Central
Is the first step in the reimbursement of its
finances.
THE present management does not ap-
prove of continuing the present plan of is
suing and selling noncumulative bonds due
.thirty-ive years hence TO raise funds to
carry on the great work of completing the
Mexican Central Railway system. and, after
the present income bonds are retired, others
will not be issued"

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Aug. is
deep-seated Indignation pervading the mu-
sic-loving public OF this city against the
Winona management and the Pennsylvania
railroad, due TO exasperating experiences
during the present week. The concerts
given by the Creatore orchestra, together
with a low railroad rate, have taken over
thousands OF people, packing the outgoing
trains TO suffocatioR. The railroad company
has, however. failed to furnish cars enough
TO bring the people home. After the
Thursday night performance there were
two coaches on the regular train which
pulled out at the station after the concert.
The seats were already filled, and people
piled in until ali the cars were packed like
an 1llinois-street car at 6 o'clock. Those
who secured standing room in the cars
made no impression on the $500 who were
just as anxious to get home. There was
nothing TO do but wait until an appeal
could be sent to Fort Wayne for an extra
train. The night was exceedingly chilly,
and many Of the women had taken only
their light wraps, thinking they would be
safely at home before midnight. 1t was
after / o'clock before the extra train ar
rived and 3 o'clock when they reached
home, having then TO walk long distances.
because the street cars were not running at
that hour. The three hours wait for the
train without seats in the dark at the sta
ton, with the electric lights out, the assem-
bly, rules requiring all lights out at 1880
O'clock, has aroused men to profanity to
whom oaths are, as a rule, utter strangers.
Many were injured in health by the ex-
posure. This was not the only Instance
of indifference TO the comfort of the people
during the week.

SURPRISE FOR AN ANGLER.



New York Sun.
Just as the-e are some animals that
tower above their fellows in strength and
brain, so occasionally an angler meets
a wall-eyed pike that shows temper and
gameness, though this fish is generally ut
only for the table. and affords the fisher
man no sport at all. f. r.. Sedgwick. OF ST.
Paul, struck one recently in a lake stream
of upper Minnesota.
He had been trolling all the morning for
muskailonge. and beyond hooking a big
one which fought for five minutes and then
got away, he had done nothing save abuse
the guide for knowing so little about his
home waters. They were travelling up
stream at a slow rate and the No. s spoon

They passed a hemlock which some log
gers had felled into the water and left TO
lie, and as the spoon went by forty feet
behind the boat the pike struck.
Ordinarily this fish will hit a spoon so
gingeriy that it cannot be called a strike
at all. IL seems TO come up from behind
and take hold in a nibbling way. This
one hit IL with a slow, Sullen heave and
two out OF the three hooks in the rear gang

How Mile. Will be Remembered.

Washington Post
OF General Miles himself, the American
people will always retain a grateful and
honorable memory His services to the
Union during that interlude OF peril which
is most generally known as the period of
the civil war-during a time that tried
mems souls and called for the best fruits
of their courage, loyalty. and manhood,
Nelson A. Miles emerged from the fiercest
tests without the shadow or suggestion
Of q stain. Out Of that tremendous flame
he brought the stamp of the patriots pur-
est gold. 1t was not only that he set the
example of a perfect valOr and devotion;
it was that he also exhibited the qualities
of enthusiasm, skill, intelligence, and mill
tary aptitude. He was conspicuous In that
brilliant group evolved by the processes of
war from civilians into proved and potent
soldiers. None of those who rode under
Grant, Sherman, Thomas. and the other
great captains of that gigantic struggle
rode more CALAMITY and effectively than
he. Neither his fellow-citizens of to-day,
nor their descendants in the days to come,
will ever forget his splendid achievement
i'm the hour of the nations serest need.
In that light-in the fine radiance of his
patriotic vaIor and devotion throughout
the period of the civil war--posterity will
prefer To contemplate him. In that light,
his will always be a noble and heroic
shape.
