ties claiming to be quite as much I'm

neither confirms nor denies the report
that a majority of the squadron re-
turned to Port Arthur although IL does
not fail to point out that only the most
desperate situation after the sea fight
could have compelled the vessels to re-
turn for refuge to that port.
Nothing has been received from Rus
sian sources regarding the report from
che Foo of a sortie of the Port Arthur
warshirs, today. The report may refer
to the cruiser Bayan and the gunboats
and torpedo boat destroyers left in the
harbor and one or two Of Admiral
Withoft's ships which were forced to
limp back to the port after the fight
of Aug. 10.
The report of the sinking OF the

Boston, Aug. 1G.-If anything was
needed to prove that the Grand Army
OF the Republic is still in fact Il mighty
host, it Was tC be found, today, when
with half Il million civilians looking on.
5000 survivors of the Union forces of
! the Civil war assembling here from all
sections of the United States, marched
through the streets of Boston. Five and
onc-half hours were required for the
parade to pass a given point. 1t was 4
difficult problem for the old soldiers
one of tic hardest battles ever they had
entered to stand and walk on the hot
crowded streets-but they bore it as
true veterans and heroes.
Almost three score of them dropped
from the ranks from exhaustion or
prostratiOn they were tendcrly cared
for al the field and civic hospitals. The
death of one old soldier married an
otherwise happy day. He was Col John
i. Pryor, a member of John a. Dix
Post, 135. of New York, who died from
heart failure, induced by exhaustion.
At least 80 Spectators mostly women,
tainted during the parade and many
persons were slightly injured and had
dresses torn in the crush of the crowds.
The spectacle of the marching gray
haired soldiers was one calculated to
thrill as we'll as to hold in moving in
terest. Everywhere the army was re-
ceiNcd with applause. tempered always
with Il noticeable attitude of respect
and reverence.
As the columns of blue swept up Bca-
con hill closely following the northcrly
side of The famous Boston common they
were reviewed from the State House by
Gov. John l.. Bates. who was accompa-

the end Of the route, COMMANDMENTS
Chief John G. Black of the G. A. r., fl
nllly inspected the many thousands of
his comrades. Several former Confod-
crate officers occupied places in the
stand. The pre-eminantly picturesque
feature of the parade was the Giving
flag" as presented by 1000 children
dressed variously IN white, rcd and
blue, and seated in one great body so
that an excellent living representation
of the flag was created. Every soldier
of the marching army raised his hat as
he passed this picture; and the chill
drcn joined in singing Dixie" and the
Battle Hymn of the Republic"
Several rcgimental reunions and vari-

officers marked the rest of the day.

existing in experienced. When certain
south bound trains reach Arlington
Junction an extra car is placed on the

They assert also that the Pennsylvani;

Lecture in the Synagogue.

Most of the Jewish residents of the
city assembled last night in the synago-
CUE on north Washington street, where
DR.. Simons, of Washington, delivered
one Of the most interesting and practical
lectures ever heard in this city. The
discourse was brief, but it abounded in
healthy thought, and the doctor had the
undivided attention OF his audience.
There has been a movement on the part
of the Israeites of this city for sometime
for The establishment Of Sunday school
in connection with their synagogue SER
vices. and DIR. Simons' visit was in con-
nection with their purpose. He set
forth in a succinct manner the spirit
which should be displayedin this day by
the Jew when the race is attracting
more attention than ever before in its
history. when the Jewish problem is be-
ing treated in newspapers, magazines
and upon the lecture platform. lie re-
ferred to the fact that the Bible had been
given to the human race by the Jew, and
that while millions ofall sects were study
inc it closely and basing their faith upon
it. the Jew should not sit in a passive
manner, but become thoroughly ac-
ouainted with his own literature. The
doctor in referringto the various branch
es of the Christian church said most OF
them were revising their creeds, and
that ideas, the growth of centuries, we're
being thrown off. When these systems
shall have become denuded of extran-
eous growth, they will be found TO be
flesh and bone of the Jews. "The Chris
tan Messiah, the twelve apostles, the
first Christians and early propagators OF
the faith were all Jews" said the
speaker In closing he urged his hearers
TO inaugurate the Sunday school feature
by all means, and arrange for opening
the synagogue on Sunday nights 10
lectures not only to Israelites, but t
Christian people as well, and the speak
er rendered the aid Of those OF tn
Washington congregation in aiding il
maintaining such meetings.
