hungry for land, then had the 12-year-

obtained 100 acres. In the latter case,
the department has held that the
patent is invalid. The patent Of the 49,

These facts came out on contested

Denver, Sept, THE main event OF
the Grang Army encampment, speak

and fle, was the grand parade which
occurred Wednesday. To the veteran
the privilege Of again treading in step
with comrades Of the bivouac Of 81 is
one for which no hardship seems too
great to undergo, no ordeal too severe
to undertake. Many who marched the
two miles were exhausted when the end
was reached and many others, weak
ened by age, fell out OF line long be-
fore the journey was completed. These
tottering old veterans, regretting their
inability to remain In the parade and
giving every evidence Of their feelings.
would be cared for by the persons
nearest at hand, led to place where
they could rest and recover from their
exhaustion. II was a common sight to
see a gray-haired old soldier sitting on
the curbing gazing wistfully at his
more sturdy comrades, as they passed
him by. The ovation given the
marhers was unstinting. The streets
were packed with people and the win
dows and roofs Of the buildings along
the line Of march swarmed with hu-
manity. The cheering was continuous
and the grizzled old warriors were kept
busy bowling acknowledgements and
raising their hats in courteous salute.
Light showers had fallen during the
night but the weather cleared and the
annual Grand Army parade has never
taken place under more favorable
auspices.
Three hours and five minutes were
consumed by the procession in passing
the grand stand In front Of which
was the reviewing stand. On the
latter stood the national officers OF
the Grand Army and distinguished
guests and in the grand stand sat
thousands Of spectators. Col. Harper
NJ. orahood, chairman Of the parade
committee, estimated that $1,000 mem
bers Of the Grand Army participated
in the parade Kansas carried Oh the
honors for the largest representation,
having nearly $500 men in line. Col
orado and Wyoming department came
next with 1900, Illinois, Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio and Missouri had large del
egations. Fifty bands and more than
half that number Of drum corps sup
piled music for the marchers. The
most perfect arrangements possible
for Communication and emergency ser
vice were provided. Telephone sta
lions were placed along the route Of
march and assistants were In attend
ance every block or so,
The only serious consequences OF
the strain Of marching reported to
those in charge was the case Of John
Donaldson. Of st. Louis He was
stricken with heart failure and was
carried TO q hospital In an ambulance.

many interesting features connected
with the parade. but perhaps themost

~ Not Identified.

Helsingfors, Finland, Sept 13.-Cus-
toms officials on Saturday discovered
6,0OO carbines Of Swedish manufAc-
ture with bayonets, and 10000 cart
ridges, on a barren island In the gulf
Of Bothnia, near Kerni. On Sunday
morning a boat belonging to the Gus
toms service discovered Q SO0-ton
steamer near Kalfskaer rock, 40 miles
outside Jakobstad. The captain and
members Of the crew, who spoke In
English, declared that the steamer was
fully loaded with rifles and cartridges,
and thereupon the customs ofactals or
dered the captain to take his vessel
into port and discharge the cargo.
The steamer proceeded toward the
shore, the customs boat going in the
meanwhile toward q nearby island.
Suddenly several explosions were
heard from the steamer and the Gus
toms officers on returning found the
vessel sinking and the crew In life
boats disappearing hurriedly toward
the south The officers immediately
pressed into service number Of fish
eYmen, who unloaded most Of the
rifles and ammunition on the beach.
The steamer grounded IN shoal
water. Her name was painted over,
only the letters John Bash FtOn" be-
ing visible. American and German
flags were found on board the vessel.
On the night previous to the discov-
cry Of the rifles and ammunition on
the island near Kerni q fisherman de-
clared he saw small steamer cruis-

A Serious Disclosure.
st. Petersburg, Sept 1.-THE news
from Finland of the accidental dtscov-
cry of the importation of rifles and
munitions In large quantities Is the
most serious disclosure regarding the
revolutionary movement in Russia
that has yet been made, as II indicates
an intention to form regular militia
~ association. The importation OF
revoIvers to Finland, Poland, the Bal
tic provinces and other districts OF
Russia has been an open secret for a
long time. In fact. the initiated have
found little dlfaculty IN purchasing
repeating pistols Of q small type In
st. Petersburg itself, but these are
pocket weapons, intended only for use
in street riotlng and IN attacks on the
police. The importation Of small cal

poses design to organize formal re-
sistance TO the troops, and the pres

No information can be obtained here
concerning the possible identity OF
the fllibustering steamer which, &C
cording to one dispatch from Helsing-
fors, is supposed to have been cruising
under the American flag, though this
probably was used as q mask.

Three men are In hospitals with frac-
tured skulls. One Of these. who as yet
remains unidentified at Roosevelt hos
initial, is unconscious and not expected
to live. More than two score OF per-
sons were injured, many Of them ser

the immediate responsibility remain to
be seen. The motorman Of the wreck

man, conductor and four guards are
under arrest.
The switchman is charged with man
slaughter and the trainmen are held
as witnesses. Monday night Coroner
Echoler, who has undertaken the work
Of liking the blame for the wreck, an
nounced that the switchman's bond
had been placed at 5000 and those Of

Whatever may have caused the mis-
take, the accident, the worst In the
history Of the overhead railroads In
New York came when southbound

At the Fifty-third street junction. The
motorman, expecting clear track on

that the switch was open, rushed his

OF the weight OF the train behind.
Then the strain became too great.
The couplings broke, the second car
was whirled about almost end for end,
and to the horror Of those who looked
on from below, pitched into the street.
The first indication people on the
sidewalk had Of the accident was a
loud rumbling along the overhead
structure. Looking up, they saw 3
shower of sparks. then followed sDlln-
ters and the sound Of splitting timberR
Suddenly the outer guard rail Of the
railroad structure gave way, q score Of
bodies were hurled through space and
with O deafening crash the car fell
to the street For an instant II stood
fairly on end. Then the sides gave
way as II they were made Of paste
board, belching out q mass Of human
ity.
Those passengers who had NOT Jump
ed from platforms and windows before
the plunge came were thrown into q
mass at the forward end Of the car.
As the injured men and women were
struggling to free themselves, the
heavy front trucks Of the third car
on the train fell almost In their midst
as the car itself jumped partly on the
elevated structure and was wedged
against q building at the southeast
corner Of Ninth avenue and Fifty third
streets.
Huge crowds were soon on the scene
and the first work Of the hastily sum
moned police reserves was directed TO
clearing a way for the effective res
cue Of the passengers pinned down BY
the wreclage. Almost every ambu-
lance in Manhattan was summoned
and the injured and dead were hurried
away with all speed.
Three alarms Of fire brought many
engines to the scene. A slight fire
caused by burning insulation was
quickly extinguished and the hremen
set to work chopping out the dead and
injured. The task was not an easy
one, for the heavy car IN falling had
almost completely buried pedestrians
In Its wreckage At least one was kill
ed outright in this way, while Police
man HenryAitkens, who was standing
directly under the elevated structure,
ls among those most seriously injured,
Eight persons were dead when taken
out Of the wreck and four died later
at hospitals.
Before the great crowds collected By
the news Of the wreck could be cleared
away the police were compelled to use

Of all those Immediately concerned.
Search was at once made for the mo-
torman, Paul Kelly. who secured a
position on the elevated lines six
months ago. He came here from st.
