RMV OF VETERANS
Greatest Parade in the History
of the G. A. R.
THIRTY THOUSAND HEN IN LIKE
A. Million Spectator Saw the Pro
cession General Miles Reviewed
tie Foseant.
CHICAGO, Aug-. 28. For four hours and
a, half today, the thinning ranks of ths
G. A. R. passed in review their leaders
and before 1.000,000 spectators packed in
almost solid lines along the four miles of
the parade. It marked the climax of the
24th annual encampment and was. ac
cording to Commander-in-Chief Shaw,
the greatest parade since the day in
"Washington when, the hundreds of thou
sands of veterans, the most powerful
array on earth, marched in review to their
.final dlsbandment.
Probably 30,000 members of the army
of veterans took part in today's parade.
For exactly four hours and 20 minutes,
most of the time with ranks almost per
fectly aligned, but occasionally faltering
under the burden of years, thes filed past
the reviewing stand on Michigan avenue,
saluting as they marched by. General Nel
son A. Miles, Commander-in-Chief Shaw,
General Daniel E. Sickles and the Spanish
Minister, the Duke of Arcos.
Weather conditions were almost Ideal
for the parade. The rays of the sun
were veiled by light fleecy clouds nearly
all day and even when unobscured their
effect was greatly lessened by a cool
breeze which blew steadily off Lake Mich
igan. The line of march too was much
shorter than ever before mapped out for
the annual parade, but, notwithstanding,
here and there a veteran exhausted
dropped out of the ranks. Especially was
this true after the reviewing stand was
passed and many pathetic Boenes were
witnessed down the long stretch of Mich
igan avenue as the veterans fell by the
wayside. The one especially sad incident
occurring to mar in a degree the glory
of the parade was when Charles Beck
wlth, of Algonsa, Mich., dropped dead
as the line was filing past the corner of
Michigan avenue and Madison street- The
parade was halted for a moment, the
body of the veteran who had responded to
his last call was tenderly removed, and
his comrades passed on.
It was shortly before 10:30 A M. when
the head of the column started from the
corner of Michigan avenue and Randolph
street and an hour later it was filing
past the reviewing stand. For hours be
fore that time the sidewalks along the
line of march were packed from curb to
wall, the windows of the immense office
buildings, gay with fluttering flags and
bunting, were filled with sightseers, while
along Michigan avenue, where were erect
ed beautiful columns and arches formed
the court of honor, the crowd was so
great that the hundreds of police had
great difficulty in keeping clear the line
of march. And all through the hours that
the veterans tramped by this sea of hu
manity roared its welcome.
In the grandstand erected down the
slope of the Lake Front Park near the
Logan monument were gathered scores of
officers who won fame In the Civil "War.
In the center box of the reviewing stand
were Ileutenant-General Nelson A Miles,
representing President McKInley; Commander-in-Chief
Shaw, General Joseph
"Wheeler. General Daniel Sickles, Mayor
Harrison, of Chicago, and "W. H. Harper.
To their left were Acting Governor "Ward
er, Speaker Henderson, of the House of
Representatives; Bishop Fallows and Sen
ator Cullom, and to their right the Span
ish Minister, the Duke of Arcos, with a
party of friends stood an interested spec
tator. "Warm greetings were accorded
General Miles -and the Duke of Arcos as
they entered the reviewing stand.
The Parade.
The marching column was headed by a
detachment of the city police under the
command of Lieutenant Flynn, which In
battalion formation swept the street from
curb to curb. Behind that came a band
of 70 pieces, and then Chief Marshal J.
H. "Wood with his immediate staff, con
sisting of Colonel H. S. Dietrich. Colonel
J. E. Stuart and Colonel C. E. Toung. A
regiment of assistant marshals and aids
came clattering on, and then behind the
great band of the Second Infantry of the
Illinois National Guard camo Commander-in-Chief
Shaw and the members of his
ntaff, comprising Adjutant-General Stew
art, Quartermaster-General J. E. Atkin
son, Inspector-General N. J. Cnmmlngs.
Judge-Advocate-General A. L Torrence
and Chief of Staff J. Cory Wlnans.
Cheer after cheer went, up as General
Daniel E. Sickles, accompanied by his
olds, rode past the reviewing stand. All
along the line of march the General had
been given a most flattering greeting, but
the warmth of'the reception that met him
as he approached the stand where Com
mander Shaw was awaiting to receive his
salute caused him to flush with pleasure
and to bow his acknowledgments again
and again.
Twelve heralds, each hearing a long
trumpet, came down the avenue announc
ing in mellow tones the approach of the
pageant of patriotism which followed
close behind Fifty members of Columbia
Post, of Chicago, wearing handsome uni
forms of dark green, formed a hollow
square, in the center of which were borne
K) battle-flags carried by New York
Yegimonts during the war. The spectacle
of the worn and tattered flags was greeted
at times with cheers and at times with
a deep silence more expressive than ap
plause could ever be. "Whether the
crowd cheered or kept silence. It showed
deep feeling, Rnd from end to end of the
ivarade all hats were off as the flags went
by A long line of carriages followed the
battle-flags, each containing ladles who
are officials of the various organisations
which are affiliated with the Grand Army.
Among these were Mrs. Harriet J. Dodge,
president of the "Woman's Relief Corps:
Mrs. Julia P. Schade, president of the
Ladles of the G. A R.; Mrs. Ada Johnson,
president of the Army Nurses Associa
tion, and Mrs. Elizabeth Kimball, presi
dent of the Daughters of Veterans.
Close behind the carriages came three
platoons of the members of the Columbia
Post, acting as a rearguard, while a
score of veterans, as a special escort,
marched beside the vehicles. Bldwell
"Wilkinson Post, of Buffalo, which had the
largest number of men in. ranks of any
organization that came from outside of
Chicago and Cook County, made a fine
appearance, as they came marhlng past
the stand, headed by the Buffalo military
Tand of B0 pieces. The old Continental
drum and bugle corps, of New Tork
City, led Captain Post, also from New
Tork. and both were heartily cheered for
their excellent appearance and marching.
Then came the Arlen military band, of
Milwaukee, forming the vanguard of the
various departments which marched under
the leadership of their department com
manders. The Veteran.
The first cheers from the reviewing
stand were given to the famous old war
eagle of the "Wisconsin troops. 01d Abe."
the stuffed figure of which borne aloft
by a brawny buckakln-dressed veteran,
was heartily greeted by the crowds and
saluted by General Miles and others In
the boxes. The post escorting "Old Abe"
was closely followed by Lucius Falrchlld
Post, which startled the crowds by stop
ping in front of General Miles and Com
mander Shaw and giving the familiar
Rah! Rah" of the University of "Wis
consin. It was somewhat cracked and
feeble but it showed the tmdlmmed spirit
that made the Iron brigade famous, and
it started the crowd to cheering again.
A few moments later George G. Meade
Post. No 1, of Pennsylvania, filed by.
Borne aloft by 24 silver-haired veterans
were as many battle-flags, tattered and
torn by bullets, and close behind them 10
equally raged corps flags. They were the
first of the many battle-flags carritd In the J
parade and everywhere the ragged ban
ners were greeted with cheers. They
were followed by Philip Schuyler Post
with eight battle-flags; Knapp!s Battery,
of Pennsylvania, with three guidons, and
Lytle Post,-. No. C8, of Allegheny City,
with three battle-flags. Nearly every post
in the Pennsylvania section in fact proud
ly marched behind one or more of these
mote reminders of the Southern battle
fields and every standard was saluted'and
cheered.
New Yorfc was rich with these emblems.
0Rourke Post, No. X, of Rochester, N.
Y., the veterans all in uniforms and
carrying rifles, held aloft two Civil "War
banners. Captain Post, No. 2, of Buffalo,
headed by the old Continental drum and
bugle corps, carried 23 battle-flags and one
guidon, all of them in ribbons. The Thir
teenth Infantry, of Rochester. N. Y., the
regiment that met with such heavy losses
at Malvern Hill, bore unfurled their flag.
It was ragged and faded almost white,
but it had the names of many hard,fought
battles inscribed thereon and crowds
greeted it with great cheering.
One of the most striking features of
the parade was the appearance of the
Iowa veterans, thousands in number, and
headed by the A O.'U. "W. band of Cedar
Falls. Speaker Henderson received an
ovation from them. He was recognised
as the veterans from the Hawkeye state
reached the stand and the band, stopping
in front of his box, ceased their playing
and raised their voices in a song "From
Iowa."
The flag of the Thirteenth Indian In
iantry, under which General Henry W.
Lawion first served during the Civil War,
was carried by, an Indiana post, and was
warmly greeted, as was also the flag of
the Twenty-first Illinois Infantry, or rath
er the bare remnants of It. This was
General Grant's old regiment, and the
flag was given a perfect ovation all along
the line.
Picturesque features were supplied by
the Louisiana veterans who carried pieces
of sugar cane topped with great bunches
of cotton; by the veterans of North Da
kota carrying small sheaves of wheat
Into which was stuck a small flag and
by the South Dakota posts, each man
carrying an enormous ear of corn, mount
ed on a staff.
Shortly after passing the reviewing
stand the lino of march disbanded and
roost of the veterans, tired with the
hours of marching, sought their hotels
and lodging places.
Social Gatherings.
The evening was given, up entirely
to affairs of a social character, the chief
event being an Informal reception to
Commander-In-Oilef Shaw, department
commanders-and distinguished guests at
Memorial Hall. It was largely attended,
thousands zt soldiers coming to greet
the high officials of their organizations.
In 2S different places In the downtown
district reunions of states were held.
This feature of the holding of reunions
by states had never been attempted before
at the National Encampment, and this
was the first trial of the experiment. It
proved a great success. The ladies of
the Woman's Relief Corps and the ladles
of the G. A R. also held receptions dur
ing the evening.
The annual business meeting of the
Grand Army of the Republic will be held
tomorrow morning In the Studebaker
Theater, commencing at 10 A M. It Is
expected by the majority of ih delegates
appointed to attend the meeting that the
business of the organization will be over
by tomorrow night. At the same time
that the members of the G. A. R. con
vene for their meeting all the affiliated
societies will gather for their annual con
ventions. Sentiment in regard to the place for
holding the next annual encampment has
apparently crystallized In favor of a far
"Western city, with Denver In the lead
for the honor, so far as appearances go.
There is apparently an almost unanimous
desire on the part of the veterans to hold
their encampment of 1901 in the Rocky
Mountains, partly on account of the fact
that that part of the country has never
yet entertained the old soldiers and also
because cool weather will be more likely
to prevail than in an Eastern city. The
Denver veterans are active In pushing
the claims of that city for the honor.
Salt Lake also has many friends and a
lively contest is expected before the mat
ter is Anally settled.
For the office of president of the "Wom
an's Relief Corpks, for which an election
will be held tomorrow, five candidates
have already been put forward. Mrs.
Mary C Hartwell, of California, and Mrs.
mary L. Carr, of Colorado, are In the
lead. Mrs. Hartwell Is supported by the
Illinois delegation, but her own state Is
divided, four of the more prominent Cali
fornia delegates having come out for
Mrs. Carr. The fact that Colorado has
never had a president of the Relief Corps,
although the body was organized In that
state, is urged In favor of Mrs. Carr.
A Bine and Gray Encampment.
An encampment of the blue and the
sray, a great organiEation which shall
Include every man who fought for his
principles. North and South, to be held
in 1901, is the dream of a large number
of the followers of the flag In '61. and the
effort is to be made to secure the adop
tion of a resolution looking to that end
when the veterans meet to elect a Commander-in-Chief.
A. B. Leeper, of Owa
neco, HI., Is father of the plan and he Is
working night and day to secure votes
for his measure. Mr. Leeper Is a dele-gate-at-large
to the present encampment
He is past commander of Phillip Baker
Post, No. 651, and adjutant-general of the
Grand Army of American Veterans. His
proposition, simply put. is, "Let us kiss
and make up."
"When the annual Illinois state encamp
ment of the Grand Army was held at
Jacksonville in May last, Mr. Leeper be.
gan his work of securing votes for the
resolution which Is to be presented. here.
The resolution follows:
"Resolved, that our commander-in-chief
appoint a committee with full power to
act to take the necessary preliminary
steps to accomplish the object of secur
ing a grand reunion of the Grand Army
of the Republic and the United Confed
erate Veterans, the Sons of Veterans and
the Sons of Confederate Veterans and
all their friends, at some point yet to
be decided upon and begin the twentieth
century with a general handshake and
renewal of fidelity to our flag and the
principles which It represents, a6 an ob
ject lesson and grand Illustration to the
world of genuine Americanism and to
demonstrate the fact that 'peace hath her
victories, no leas renowned than war,' "
General Edward S. Bragg was uuani
mously re-elected president of the Iron
Brigade today. The meeting was at
tended by 300 veterans of the famous
brigade.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
PARADE OF THE MILITARY DIVIS
ION OF THE ORDER. AT DETROIT,
Biennial Address of Supreme Chan
cellor Sample Reports of Offl
oera-Pythias Sisterhood.
DETROIT, Aug. 28. The military divis
ion of the order of the Knights of Pythias
did itself proud in its biennial parade
this afternoon and the vast crowds who
witnessed the pageant gave enthusiastic
approval all along the line of march. Nine
thousand uniformed and helmeted Knights
and musicians marched in rapid and or
derly manner over the route of five miles
and were officially reviewed, first by Su-
J preme Chancellor Sample and before dis
missal by Major-General Carnahan, com
mander of the uniform rank.
The Ohio brigade, with more than 2000
men In line, was the leader in point of
numbers. Indiana came next In size and
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Michigan were
also well represented. Very few states
were wholly unrepresented In the line of
march. One British flag was seen In the
parade, carried by the Canadian contin
gent above their Pythian banner, and the
Canadians were not less heartily cheered
than the American Knights.
All traffic In the down-town streets

AMERICAN TROOPS ARE CAMPED IX
SACRED
through which the parade passed was sus
pended, street-cars were stopped and on
Woodward avenue, where the throngs
massed most thickly, ropes were stretched
along the sidewalks leaving the broad
avenue clear. The only drawback was lack
of horses. All the headquarters and most
of the brigade officers were well mounted,
but a considerable number of the regi
mental field officers were afoot, the local
committee having failed to provide horses
enough. More than 30 bands and drum
and bugle corps furnished music for the
paraders.
The parade organized at Camp Plngree.
Major-General Carnahan rode at the head,
mounted on Governor Plngree's splendid
chestnut riding horse and followed by
his staff of 40 mounted officers. Indiana
had the right of the line and her five
regiments made an Imposing appearance.
Following came the brigades and regi
ments from Illinois, Wisconsin, Vlrglna,
District of Columbia, Georgia, Minnesota,
Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Michigan. New Brunswick, New
York, Iowa, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Massachusetts, Kentucky, California,
Ohio. Missouri and Kansas and the Ca
nadian battalions with numerous smaller
commands attached to brigades from
states other than their own. One of the
novel features was a troop of mounted
cavalry from St. Joseph. Mo., equipped
In regulation cavalry style. Lodges of
Pythlans from Detroit and adjacent
towns brought up the rear. Several dis
plays. Including floats carrying scenes
representing Incidents In Pythian lore. A
delegation from Mount Clemens furnished
the amusing feature. They were
clad In bathrobes and followed a float
carrying a huge bathtub. Supreme Chan
cellor Sample reviewed the parade from
a stand erected In front of the City Hall.
But one session of the Supreme Lodge
was held today. Little business was trans
acted beyond reading of the officers' re
ports and their reference to committees.
Fifty-five grand chanqellors were given
the Supreme Lodge degrees. Tonight the
officers and ladles of the main and aux
iliary orders were tendered an excursion
aboard a Detroit ferry steamer.
Supreme Chancellor Thomas G. Sample,
of Allegheny. Pa., head of the Pythian or
der, presided over the supreme lodge meet
ing. In his biennial address, after com
menting upon the wonderful numerical
growth of the order In the last 35 years.
Supreme Chancellor Sample spoke of the
notable Improvement In the character of
the membership since the early days ot
Pythlanlsm, adding:
"The Knights of Pythias are big enough,
strong enough, brainy. enough and Influ
ential enough, to work out their own sal
vation, and I would strongly recommend
that any supreme officer, or representa
tive, or grand or subordinate lodge officer,
who Is so entangled with other organiza
tions that he cannot give us his best ef
forts and best thoughts, should step down
and out of official positions and allow
them to be elected who believe that we
have the best secret order that floats a
banner In this great nation today."
Continuing, he said:
"Members in a few domains have vio
lated your strongest legislation relative to
the admission of saloon-keepers, bartend
ers and gamblers; other have eet at do
fiance your laws relative to the initiation
fees and the law relative to Sunday ex
cursions, using the lodge name but call
ing it a pleasure club, loudly clamoring
for permission to have Intoxicating liquors
at entertainments on the theory that oth
er and older Institutions of a similar
nature permit It.
"I have unbounded faith in the loyalty
of a very large percentage of the mem
bership to the laws ot the order, but this
body should enact legislation at this ses
sion in unmistakable language that will
compel the grand chancellor to enforce
the plain provisions of the laws you have
made; and If, after due notification from
the supreme chancellor that laws have
been violated, the said grand chancellors
fall to apply the remedy, the authority
should be given the supreme chancellor to
at once suspend euch officer pending an
Investigation by the supreme tribunal. Aa
it Is now, the terms of both the supremo
and grand chancellors expire before an
opportunity In many cases Is presented
for the offenders to be brought before
the legal tribunal of the order. Drastics
measures of this character would not
have to be applied more than once or
twice until euch troubles would disap
pear." In his report, R. L. C. Wright, of At
lanta, Ga., supreme keeper of records
and seals, gave the following:
Total number of subordinate lodges 1S93.
6740. Total membership, 492,506; net gain

BOTHA'S LAST FIGHT.
Final Stan-e of the Anglo-Boer War
in View.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2S. Lord Roberts'
dispatches announce what many people
here take to be the beginning of the final
stage In the South African campaign, says
the 'London correspondent of the Tribune.
The Commander-in-Chief held a council of
war with his lieutenants. Buller, French
and Pole-Carew on Saturday, and on Sun
day began a general attack on General
Botha's Intrenched position, on which not
much Impression had been made.
In the preliminary operations of the pre
vious few days the Boers had chosen" a
line of defense of great natural strength,
stronger, in fact than any they have held
since they fell back from the Tugela.
Their forces were disposed along a for
midable chain of hill country, extending
over a front nearly 30 miles; their flanks
resting-on spurs of broken ground pro
tected by morasses. The British ad
vance began on the west to the north
of Belfast, from which place the Boers
fell back toward the Lydenburg Road.
Lord Roberts reports that the Boers are
making a most determined resistance In a
locality well adapted for their defensive
tactics and badly suited for cavalry
movements.
Some experts think that this Is really
General Botha's last stand, and that 1C
defeated here he will be completely
crushed. Lord Roberts' superiority In
numbers Is so great that he may prob
ably attempt to work right around tno
Boors, and to drive them from their po
sition by menacing their lines of retreat.
To Judge from previous experience, It Is
unlikely that the Boers would stay long
enough to permit the maneuver to be ac
complished. Meanwhile the Boers are themselves
busy in endeavoring to raid Lord Roberts
lines of communication both In the Orange
River Colony and Natal. At Wlnberg, in
the neighborhood of the scene of some of
General Dewefs most remarkable ex
ploits, a body of Imperial Yeomanry was
In difficulties under an attack of a con
siderable force of Boers last Friday. They
were rescued by reinforcements hastily
sent up from Krponstad and Hellbron.
On Sunday the Boers again renewed their
attack on Winberg, but were beaten off,
having among the prisoners captured by
the British Commandant Olivier, whose
famous march from Capo Colony through
Lord Roberts' lines to the northeast of
the Orange River Colonv was one of the
notable episodes of the Spring.
To Judge by the fact that heavy rein
forcements have been ordered to pre
pare to embark for South Africa In the
next few days, the British War Office
does not yet believe that warlike ODera
tlons are drawing to a close.
ROBERTS' OPERATIONS.
Hin Several Column Closing In On
the Boers.
LONDON, Aug. 28. Lord Roberta re
ports under date of August 27 as fol
lows: "Our movements are slow on account
of the nature of the country. We made
satisfactory advance and met with decid
ed success. The work fell entirely to
Buller's troops and resulted in the cap
ture of Bergendal, a very strong posi
tion two miles northwest of Dalmtmtua.
I met Buller at Bergendal shortly after
It was reached by our troops. I am glad
to find the occupation cost less than was
feared, on account of the approach being
across an open glacis for two or threo
thousand yards and the determined
stand of the enemy. The Innlskllllngs
and Second Rifle brigade formed the at
tacking party. The latter suffered most.
I hope the casualties do not exceed 5C
or 60. One officer was killed and two
were wounded. A good many Boers
were killed and a pom pom was cap
tured. "French advanced on the left to Swartz
kopje on the Leydenberg road and pre.
pared the way for the movement of Pole
Carews division tomorrow.
"Baden-Powell reports that he occupied
Nylstroom without opposition. As the
country where he and Paget are operat
ing is dense bush and veldt. It Is not de
sirable at the present to proceed farther
north and his troops are returning to
Pretoria."
Boer Lines Broken.
LONDON, Aug. 28. A special from Pre
toria, dated August 27, says:
"It is stated that fighting with Botha's
commandoes was resumed this morning.
The Boers' lines were broken and the en
emy Is falling back. The British casual
ties are reported to be considerable."
Roberts Succeed Wolnelcy.
LONDON, Aug. 9. The Dally Mail this
morning claims to have the highest au
thority for the assertion that Lord Rob
erts has already succeeded Lord Wolseley
as Commander-in-Chief of the British
Army.
ANARCHISTS IN LONDON.
Italy May Demand the Expulsion of
Malatcnta.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. A dispatch to
the World, from London, says:
A statement which has reached here
from Rome that the Italian Government
has demanded from the British Govern
ment the expulsion of Anarchist Mala
testa from England receives no credence.
Malatesta, when asked about the state
ment, replied:
"I do not believe that any such re
quest has been made. The Swiss Govern
ment was approached by the Italian po
lice when I resided in Geneva, but it wise
ly refused to do anything in the matter."
"But," said the correspondent, "suppose
you were warned to leave England with
in 24 hours, whertf would you go?"
Malatesta replied: "I cannot suppose
anything of the kind. I have committed
no crime In England. I get my living
her as an electric engineer. If such an
order were given me by the police I
should go to America.
Slgnor Mlnettl, Chancellor of the Ital
ian Embassy In London, questioned on
the subject, eald:
"We hope for the best, but so far we
have received no Instructions on this
head from the government in Rome. We
have so far refrained from asking for
Malatesta's expulsion for fear of a re
fusal by the British Government. I
doubt whether the constitution will per
mit of the expulsion of an anarchist un
less he Is proved guilty of some lnfrac
tion. of English law."
INSURRECTION IN PERSIA.
The Shah and" His Ministers Taken
by Surprise.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. A dispatch to
the Times from Paris says:
"Your correspondent learns from a
thoroughly well-Informed source that
a serious insurrection has broken
out In Persia which may In all
probability cause the Shah's -visit
to Europe to be curtailed. The object
of the revolt is to dethrone the present
Shah, whose fondness for Western ideas
makes him unpopular to Persians of the
old school, and to place his brother on J
the throne. No advices have reached here
so far regarding the extent of the success
of this revolutionary movement, but a
telegram announcing the fact has just
been handed to the Shah in Brussels.
The Shah himself is disposed to make
light of the affair, which nevertheless
Is extremely grave In view of the unset
tled state of the far East. He has every
confidence that the precautions in view
of such a contingency which the Grand
Vizier took before his master started on
his Europea'n trip will prove sufficient to
cope with the situation. The Insurrec
tion, however, has been very carefully
planned, for It has taken the Shah and
his Ministers completely by surprise.
ITO'S STRENGTH INCREASING.
Probability of His Early Accession to
PoTver.
YOKOHAMA Aug. 11. via San Fran
cisco. Aug. 2S. The probability of Mar
quis Ito's early accession to power with
a strong party organization behind him
Is daily increasing. It is felt on all hands
that In the coming readjustment of Chi
nese affairs he Is the one man to cope
with the situation, his Influence being
almost as great In China as In his own
country. On the retirement of the pres
ent Premier, Marquis Yamagata, It Is ru
mored that the latter will be raised to the
rank of Prince.
Japan is rejoicing over the laurels her
troops are winning in China. Their feat
of blowing up the gates of Tien Tsln was
one of the most daring on record. The
wires which were to ignite the guncot
ton refusing to work, one of the soldiers
deliberately went up to the gates and
applying a match, was blown Into atoms
as the gates came down. A second sol
dier then climbed over the Inner wall
and In the dim light of the morning open
ed the city to his comrades who swarmed
In while the astonished Chinese threw
down their arms and fled.
Japan is quietly sending more troops to
China. Picked men are being dispatched
to supply the constant losses. The large
fleet of transports Is still In. constant
service, hearing men and supplies.
Gnlda to Be Deported.
NEW YORK. Aug. 2S. Gulda, the Ital
ian who arrived in this country from
Italy two weeks ago. In company with
Maresca, another Italian, was ordered ex
cluded today by the Immigration Bureau.
It was said that Gulda and Maresca were
anarchists and had come to kill Presi
dent McKInley. Gulda was not refused
admittance to this country for political
reasons, but because the Immigration

migrant. Flngne Death In Glnsffotr.

NEW YORK. Ang. 28. The fight between

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

all constitutional diseases have their beein
