forms of startling colors and unique
designs, and with gorgeously decorated
floats and trophies of surprise and
amusing character, combined to make
the parade the most picturesque ever
held in this city.
The Pihaledlhians marched in the

Oyster Bay, July 12.-It is regarded
here as not improbable that other SEN

of the leak in the cotton crop report
which Secretary Wilson, of the De-

President regarding possible future
disclosures. In fact, by direction Of
the President, Secretary Wilson is con-
Quoting the inquiry along his own lines
with determination to sift the matter
tc the bottom. As heretofore indicated
in these dispatches, Attorney General
Moody will determine finally whether
criminal prosecutions are to be insti-
tuted by the government against any
of the alleged conspirators.
