VETERANS IN LINE.
Twenty-Five Thousand Grand Army
Men at Boston.

Boston, Aug. 17.-If anything were
needed to prove that the Grand Army
of the Republic is still in fact a
mighty host. it was to be found yes
terday when, with half million civil
ians looking on, $4,000 survivors OF
the Union forces of the Civil War as
sembled here from all sections Of the
United States, marched through the
streets of Boston. Five and one-half
hours were required for the parade to
pass a given point. 1t was severe
strain on the old soldiers, though gen.
orally they bore the hardship well.
More than three score of them dropped
from the ranks from exhaustion and
heat prostration, and were cared for
at the hospitals.
The Colorado and Wyoming depart
ments marched together led by De-
partment Commander Thomas J.
Donovan and the George w. Cook
Drum corps of Denver.

COUNTY TREASURY LOOTED.
Court Committee BIames officers Of
Adams County With Ex-
cessive Charges.

Denver, Aug. 1.-THE report of the
committee of experts chosen by Judge
Armour to examine the books of the
treasurer of Adams county was filed
last night. 1t states that some of the
officers of that county have recklessly
and causelessly wasted great share
of the money received from taxes and
other sources. The report explicitly
states where the waste has occurred.
charging directly that officers have
taen fees to which they had no right.
The committee finds further that the
county has no funds with which to
conduct business during the last SIX
months of the current year.
AS to the result already obtained by
the committee the report says:
1.-THE treasurer has charged back to
himself in three items the sum of
sSS279 of fees, and in all hundreds
and thousands of dollars have been
secured to the county and various
school districts. Most of the officers
of the county have failed to make re-
ports of fees, notwithstanding the
continued and emphatic solicitation of
the committee for the same
The committee finds that in excess
of the amount authorized by law over
$4,000 has been paid to various officers
of the county. The county clerk has
made no report as required by law and
from November l, 1902, to December
81, 1903, drew s3,440.50 as fees. and in
the meantime drew out of the treasury
the sum of s3,671.22, making total
for the thirteen months of $7,111.72.

law unto itself, so says the commit

was clearly an erroneous payment, he
having once before received his
money from another source. The

court are the only ones exonerated by
the report.

forest fires are raging in the hills close
around Bonita, some twenty-four miles
east of Missouia. The fires started

three days from seventy-fve to one
hundred men have been fighting the

GRAND ARMY MEETS.
Veterans in Boston Having a Good
Time.

Time.
Boston, Aug. 1S.-The real business
of the Grand Army of the Republic be-
gan yesterday. The majority of the
former wearers of the Union blue who
are not accredited delegates to the
convention, spent the day and evening
in renewing army friendships and in
sight seeing. Thousands journeyed to
the United States navy yard at
Charleston to witness the launching of
the training ship Cumberland.
Nearly ! 400 delegates were present
when the annual convention of the
grand army was called to order The
feature was the reading of letter
from President Roosevelt expressing
regret at his inability to attend the en-
campment.
The president referred to the acqui-
sition of the Philippines and declared
that 1t is only under the American
flag that the people of the island can
preserve public order, the individual
freedom and the national well being

John C. Black delivered the annual
address of the commander-in- chief

Commander Black urged depart

in order that scattered members might
come together for fraternal greetings.

JAPAN'S DEMAND
SENDS AN uLTImArum TO CHINA.
Says That the Russian War Vessels at
Shanghai Must Be Dismantled or
Driven Out Of the Port.

CIiNCH out OF inc FORT.
London, Aug. 1S.-Japan has made
demand on China, practically in the
nature of an ultimatum, that she i'm
mediately enforce her neutrality in the
case of the protected cruiser Askold
and the torpedo boat destroyer Grozo-
vol. now at Shanghai.
Japan pointed out that time limit,
four hours, permitted by interna-
tional law. had expired and that Japan
therefore was at liberty to take such
action as may seem to her eXpedient.
AT the Japanese legation here it was
explained that the Toxic government
mad no intention of remaining quies-
cent If Russia attempted to compel
China to give asylum to her men of
war and authorize repairs at her ports
which would enable them to resume
belligerent operations.
Should China fail to comply immedi-
ately with Japans demand, the divis-
ion of Japanese warships now in the
vicinity of Shanghai will, the legation
declares be instructed to enter the
port and capture the Askold and Groz-
ovoi, as was done in the case of the
Ryeschitelni.
Japan has made no secret of her in
tention. but has not consulted the
powers, believing that the matter is
one which concerns herself alone, as
Japan is prepared, the legation, as
serts, to recognize Chinese neutrality
only SO long as it is respected by Rus
sia.
With regard to the Ryeschitelni,
Japan, it is asserted, is determined not
to comply with the Chinese demand,
submitted in compliance with the Rus
sian note, that the vessel be returned
to Che Foo. Japan insists that to all
intents and purposes Che Foo has been
a Russian base during the war; Chi
nese junks having been fitted out there
and sent through the Japanese block
aiding vessels to Port Arthur.
No answer has yet been given by
Japan to the Russian protest in the
case of the Ryeschitelni, but when it
is made it will be communicated to all
the powers.

ENGLISH DOCTORS FEES.
They Are Regulated by the Royal
College of Physicians.

They Are Regulated by the Royal
College of Physicians.
The specialists must be divided into
two distinct classes, the surgeon prop
er and the pure physician. The former
unquestionably gets big fees in ratio
to his reputation. The famous surgeon
has only to name his fee to the mil
lionaire with appendicitis. With the
fear Of death before his eyes he will
write his check gladly. When he has
recovered he will often grumble if he
does not boast. A younger and less
known man will perform the same OPP
GRAFTON for a 1.-THE of the cost, but the
public, with death staring them in the
face, will have the man with the big
name, regardless of expense.
But the pure physician is an entirely
different matter. His fees are stand
ardized not by act of parliament, but
by that autocratic body, the Royal
College of Physicians. His fees for
consultation at his own house are
fixed at guineas the first visit and a
guinea for each subsequent one. For
consultations away from home he re-
ceives a fee at the calculated rate of
two-thirds Of guinea mile. Elstree,
twelve miles out of town, is ipso facto
8 guineas, Liverpool Col miles, is 134
guineas, and so on pro rata. But it
must be remembered that nowadays
all the big provincial centers have
their own specialists, and the town
man is very seldom sent for unless he
be one of the very biggest names and
the case desperate and rich.
If the physician should accept more
he transgresses that professional fe-
itch, medical etiquette" and is brand
ed quack by his less lucky brethren.
Moreover, when he arrives at a suf-
fcient standing in the ranks Of his pro-
fession the Royal College of Physi-
clans will not elect him to their all i'm
