of death and OF these 30,254 were sur
vivors Of the civil war.

VETERANS PARADE
ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE GRAND
ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.
BOYS AGAIN TOUCH ELBOWS
Fifteen Thousand Marchers Given a
Great ovation by the Populace-The
Procession Is Three Hours and Five
Minutes in Passing Grand stand.

DENVER-The main event of the
Grand Army encampment, speaking
from the view point of the rank and
file, was the grand parade which oc-
Cured Wednesday. To the veteran
the privilege OF again keeping 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 exhaust
ed when the end was reached and
many others, weakened by age, fell
out of line long before 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 a place where they could
rest and recover from their exhaus-
tioh.
1t was common sight to see gray
haired soldier sitting on the curbing
gazing wistfully at his more sturdy
comrades as they passed him by. The
ovation given the marchers was I'M
stinted. The streets were packed with
people and the windows and roofs
along the line of march swarmed with
humanity. The cheering was con-
tinuous and the grizzled old warriors
were kept busy bowling acknowledge
ments and raising their hats in cour-
teous salute.
Thrnn hnnrc I've
consumed by the procession in pass
ing the grandstand, in front of which
was the reviewing stand. On the lat
ter stood the national officers of the
Grand Army and distinguished guests
and in the grandstand sat thousands
Of spectators. Colonel Harper M. Or
ahood. chairman of the parade COM
mittee, estimated that $4,000 mem
bers of the Grand Army participated
in the parade. Kansas carried off the
honors for the largest representation,
having nearly $500 men in line. The
Colorado and Wyoming department
came next, with 1900 Illinois, Penn
sylvania, Iowa, Ohio and Missouri had
large delegations. Fifty bands and
more than half that number of drum
corps supplied music for the march
ers. The most perfect arrangements
possible for communication and
emergency service were provided.
Telephone stations were placed along
the route of march, and assistants
were in attendance every block or so.
There were interesting features con-
nected with the parade, but perhaps
the most impressive was the appear
anc Of an ex-confederate soldier in the
gray uniform of his fighting days. A
great cheer rent the air as he stood
alone in carriage waving the stars
and stripes and bowling to the multi
tude. This was repeated when later
he appeared marching arm in arm
with an aged veteran Of the union
army.

LICK EXPEDITION is uNLuckY.
Heavy CoIuds Prevent Observation OF
Eclipse.

ST. JOHNS, N. F.-The Lick as
Economical observatory expedition
which went to Cartwright, Labrador,
to observe the solar eclipse of
Wednesday last, met with complete
failure. Heavy blanks of clouds OBJ
scured the heavens during the entire
period of eclipse and the result of the
attempted observations was so unsuc-
cessful that the astronomers will not
attempt to develop the Photographic
plates which were exposed.
The report of the failure of the mis-
sion was brought here today by Gov
ernor McGregory, who had accompan-
led the scientists to Cartwright and
who returned here today on the war
ship Scylla. The governor said he
feared also that the expedition sent
out by the Canadian government,
which was located at Hamilton, only
about fifty miles from Cartwright, was
fully as unfortunate as those from
Lick.

CARNEGIE FOUNDATION
OFFERS FIVE PRIZES

NEW YORK-About $4,000 in
prizes and the honor of being one of
the five architects who plan the peace
palace for the use of the permanent
court of arbitration at The Hague was
today offered to the architects of all
nations in prospectus issued by the
Carnegie foundation. This invitation
was made to secure the ideas of many
minds as to the most fitting edifice in
which to house the tribunal which it
is hoped will make war unnecessary.
The five most successful architects
will receive prizes, the largest of
which is for 10000 guilders, a sum of
money slightly less than $4,000. In
addition to their open offer to the
world, the directors of the Carnegie
foundation, which will become the
owner Of the five prize plans, has also
issued special invitation to certain
eminent architects from each of the
principal countries of the world re-
questing them to join the competition.

new FORM OF FRAUD
UNEARTHED BY Committee

NEW YORK-Evidence of extern
sive fraud'in the writing of life insur-
ance on risks known to be bad has
been brought to the attention of the
Armstrong legislative committee. It
is asserted that in this class of fraud
there has been collision between the
officers and agents of companies of
high standing
Subpoenas summoning the medical
examiners of some of the big compan-
les to appear before the committee
have been prepared. They will also
be requested to have ready for the
committee the medical records of the
company for the last few years to be
used as exhibits in case they are re-
quired. All the medical examiners
probably will be called for the same
day.

THERE IS SLIGHT REGARD
FOR The ENLISTED MAN

Observation-Disclosures General
G. c. Carr, commanding the depart
ment of Dakota, in his annual report,
touching upon the subject of deser-
ton, says they are mainly attributable
to the slight regard the enlisted man
is held by the average American citi-
zen.
He recommends that the Yellow
stone be made four troop post. The
travel in the park, he says, is in
creasing yearly and he estimates that
the whole number of the visitors for
1905 will aggregate 10000.
General Carr invites attention to
what he terms the grave injury to the
service resulting from the absence of
officers from their commands.

TRADE is OPENING
AND BOYCOTT SUBSIDING

WASHINGTON - Consul General
Rogers at Shanghai cabled the state
department as follows:
Northern trade is opening and the
boycott is evidently subsiding."
Through the mails the state depart
ment has received the copies Of the
boycott placards which have been dis
played in the principal Chinese ports.
They have been described in the news
dispatches and are generally alike, re-
citing the unjust treatment of Chinese
merchants and students seeking to en-
ter American ports as reason why
the Chinese at home should refrain
from trading with Americans or buy
ing American products.

WALKS THE PLANK.
Public Printer Palmer Down and o

TupiiC FTinteT fdlnner DOWN ana OUT.
WASHINGTON-P Printer F.
w. Palmer practically has been GUST
ed from office. 1t was learned author
ititatively that President Roosevelt
had demanded Mr.. Palmer's resigna-
ton to take effect on the 18th inst.
The demand of the president for Mr..
Palmer's resignation was due primari-
ly to the latters action in trying to
force Oscar j. Ricketts,, foreman of
printing, and l.. G. Hay, a foreman
of division, out of the government
printing Office. Mr.. Palmer asked for
the resignation of Ricketts, and Hay
on the ground that they had been in
subordinate. AS soon as President
Roosevelt learned Of the situation
that had developed he directed Pub
lie Printer Palmer to forward to him
his resignation to take effect in two
weeks.
1t has been known for some time
that Mr.. Palmer would not be reap
pointed to his present office. For sew
eral months before President Roose-
welt left Washington for Oyster Bay
he was casting about for suitable
man for the position of public printer.
He offered it to John A. Sleicher of
New York, but he declined it, having
something better in view. Until the
time there has been no change in the
situation.
The investigation made by the Keep
commission into the letting of con-
tract for seventy-two Lanston type
setting machines for use in the gov
eminent printing Office, disclosed a
serious condition of affairs in the man.
agement of the Office, the forces be-
ing divided into cliques. These
cliques were so detrimental to the ill.,
terests of the government that the
standard of efficiency in the depart
ment were reduced materially The
evilende secured by the commission in
the course of it's inquiry created
much bitter feeling among the men
holding high positions in the depart
ment. One of these was the demand
by Printer Palmer for the resigna-
tons of Rickett and Hay. AS the
Keep inquiry, so far as known, devel-
oped nothing against the interests Of
Ricketts, and Hay, the president act
ed promptly in taking the whole mat
ter out of Palmer's hands, and laying
it in the hands of the Keep commits
sion for such further investigation as
might be necessary. Coupled with
this action of the president was the
demand on Palmer for his resignation.

TAFT PARTY IN CANTON.
His Visit May Have a Good Effect on
Boycott

HONG KONG-The Taft party ar.
rived at Canton and proceeded to the
American consulate. where its men,
bers were met by battalion of the
vceroy's guards. After a reception at
the consulate, the party became guests
of the new Canton railway, covering
Its entire distance. At 1 o'clock the
visitors were entertained at luncheon
by invitation of the viceroy, who, how
ever, was Ill and unable to be pres
ent. His representative made q
speech referring to the friendly rela.
tons between the Chinese nation and
America.
Secretary Taft in responding said
by direction Of the president, he was
pleased to note the friendly relations
OF the two countries. The United
States government did not want foot
or an acre of Chinese soil He said
he thought the boycott of American
goods was an unreasonable violation
Of treaty rights and conditions between
the two countries and declared that
he was glad the viceroy had ordered
the boycott stopped.
The party's trip to Canton has had
immense effect, and 1t Is believed that
within two weeks the boycott will
end. The viceroy on Monday morn
ing gave notice that he had ordered
the boycott to be declared off, and all
of its leaders to be arrested and pun
ished.
During their stay in Canton a few
members of the Taft party visited the
old city. They made many purchases
and were treated with great respect,
there being no evidence of ill-feeling.

TREATY is SIGNED.
ENJOYS Affix Their Signatures Shortly
Before -Four O,CIoek

PORTSMOUTH treaty OF
Portsmouth was signed shortly before
o'clock Tuesday evening in the con-
ference room of the navy general
store at the navy yard. The firing of
national salute of nineteen guns was
the signal which told the people of
Portsmouth, Kittery and New Castle
that the peace of Portsmouth was an
accomplished fact, and the church
bells in the three towns were soon
pealing forth a joyful refrain.
For forty-seven minutes those out
side the conference room anxiously
awaited the signal Suddenly an or
derby dashed to the entrance of the
peace building and waived his hand to
the gunner few feet away and the
opening shot of the salute rang out on
the clear air of the soft September
afternoon. proclaiming peace between
Russia and Japan.
ST. PETERSBURG-The news Of
the signing at Portsmouth of the
treaty of peace was received here
quietly and even with the same
apathy that has marked the attitude
of the Russian people throughout the
war; There was no demonstration
and no special means were adopted to
make the news known. No extra edi-
tons Of the papers were issued and a
large part of the population of st.
Petersburg will be ignorant Of the
final act of the plenipotentiaries un-
til they read of it in papers. Two or
three of the newspapers this morning
publish the text of the treaty as
cabled from Portsmouth, but the press
generally seems to have made no spe-
cial offer to chronicle the event which
has beene discounted by the news of
the progress of the negotiations.
