F0BTYTH01-SAXDWKBEIX USE chuol Children Added AHrartlvanew to the Scene, formlnc. a Liv ing National Plaf. St Paul. Minn.. Sept 4 Nearly 40,000 veterans tramped the streets of St Paul for several hours today, renew ing the assurance of their youth aud feeling in their veins the martial spirit that animated them iu the old days of bitter sectional strife. The day was an ideal one for marchiiu, the warm rays of the sun being behind clouds and a itluKt Vipmm ma Ir in if the tramn much essier for those inline. Tbe threat- ened showers held off, and everytbog went off according to programme. ; At 9:45 o'clock the omruander in chief and staff moved south on West ern avenue, and the various divisions fell into Hue rapidly. It wat jut 11:30 o'clock when the head of the parade reached the grand reviewing ttand at Smlth't Park, where General Walker took hit place on the platform, and tbe first divlslun, beaded by the veteran tignal corps, pased in review. It wat 8:85 this afteru m when the last post In the big eighth diviaion, containing Miuuesota'l veterans, had i passed, aud there was scarcvly a no tioeable break in the line, post follow ! ing post, and department coming after ! department, in almost endless seces sion. The eulivening musio of many bands and tbe stirring martial souud 1 of veteran drum corps signaled the ap prosch of each new department, aud the crowd showed prompt appreciation 1 of the appearance of various favoritot ' Wavet of applause went up and down the crowded streets, and at timet tbe ; veterans themselves took op the re ! frain. For the old soldier realized even more than before that the city 1 wat his. Nothing was thought too 1 good for the marching men. As they were lined up on the tide ttreett await ! lug tbe tignal to ttart, residents serevd 1 with ice water and otherwise locked ' after their comfort Takon altogether, the parade was an unequaled success, 1 aud the leading features of it touched tbe soldier heurt at it bat seldom been touched before. In receut years it hat been thought ' necessary to shorten the length of the i Ursnd Army of the Kepublio parade. ; Tbe route today exceeded two miles by ! a triflo. and was over smooth streets, i Tbe procession wat in eight divisions. General Walker and staff headed the ' parade. Summit avenue wat crowded witb spectators, who applauded their 1 favorite posts or favorite leaders. Op polste the residence of Colonel It. M. i Newport many white-haired veterans I uncovered as they recoguited Mrs. John ' A. Logan, wbo curufullly returned 1 every salute. As the head of each division arrived ; at this part of the avenuo, pretty young ! girls stepped out into the street and ! tcattered Bowers before the cuooming i vetearns. Ou the square on which ia being con I atructed a new government building I there bad been put a grandstand for i 3,000 children, whose red, white aud , blue caps and toques were so arranged ! as to form a living flag. This living i flag was the feature of the day that ; most appealed to the murcliiiig vt ter I ant, aud many touching scenes were witnessed in front if the mammoth chorus. The children bad been thor oughly trained by Professor C. II. Congdon, of the city schools, aud were , quick to respond to his every sigual. ! As the head of each department ar- rived, the strains of their mingled voices oould be heard shove the musio of the bands, iu patriotio greeting, as they tang tome of the uiauy tongt they had prepared for tuch greeting. Aud the old soldiers, as they came past the corner ami envr mu Krvl- i-nurun i . i lean tifully representing "Old Glory," quickly doffed their huts and waved them in the air as they shouted their appreciation, paying little heed to the teart that streamed down thier euro- worn oheeka. Then the old veterans would take up the teug the child ion had started, aud the heavy voice of the men mingled with tbe fresh young voices of tbe children. This was re peated time and again, the children uever tiring of singing. Aud, as they waved their handkerchiefs and moved back and forth, the effect ot the wav ing flag wat perfect, aud agaiu the hatt came off and the old vetoraut thouted again and again over the pa triotism showu by their children's children. The inctdenti of the parado wero niauy aun varien. ine rroart tweep of Summit avenue gave many chances for the marching qualities of the vetcr ant, and many a post drew cheer after cheer as it turued a comer iu perfect alignment aud with soldierly step moved ou down the wide aveuuj. Following after the famous Coluui- oia post, oi mioago, came tne same "Old Abe" that led them with bis shrill scream iu to mauy battles, and the stuffed eagle was cheered as lutilj aa in the old encampments, when the warrior bird seemed to know just what it all meaut After Minnesota, Wisconsin repotted the most meu in line.

Portland, Or.. Bept 4.-From data eollected it it evident that the Oregon hoo crop will no io m or one hnlf of the 18B5 orop, aaya the current number of tbe Oregon Agrlonl turist California and Washington data are not definite, but the yield will probably not exceed 40,000 balea In the former state, and 20,000 in the latter, .gainst 62,000 and 28,000 balee re spectively in 1805. Tbe reduction in Oregon bat been greater in proportion than in the other ttatea. It will thus be seen that the Paciflo ooast orop will be from 100,000 to 110.000 balea. It would not be surprising, after the crop is tecured, to find the ooast yield lest than 100,000 balet, because the inferior hops have not been contracted for, and it is impossible to obtain advanoel for picking money. ! The increase in the yearly production of hops in Oregon hat been enormona. The following flguret for the patt four 1 yean thow the marketings: 1893, 25.- 000 bales: 18U3, 87,000 bales; 1894, 63,000 bales; 1895, 100,000 balea. ! The rapid increase wat entirely un warranted by the oondition of the mar ket, aud iu interruption thit year, when our production will be leal than 60,000 balet, it the penalty for our zealousnest, and for our lack of oontld eration. I Tbe growert of the state of Washing i ton usad better judgment, and their production in 18U4 waa lest than in 1 1803, being 49,000 balea.'while in 1895 j it WBt but 28,000 balet, and thit year will be lesa than 20.000, hence the tufferiug hat not been to severe in our sister state. California alto acted promptly in reducing production, and from 67,500 j balet In 1894, dropped to 62,000 balet ' in 1895, and thit year probably lett : than 40,000. I The New York crop it variously ea 1 timated at between 60,000 and 85,000 : bales. The production in all other itatet 1 will probably amount to 15,000 bales, j Using the above flguret we tummar- ize at followt: Oregon, 60,000 balea; i Washington, 20,000 bales; California, j 40,000 balea; New York, 85,000 balee; I other itatet, 15,000 bales; total, 210,- 000 bales. Thit it more than the United Statei oontumet in a year. ! IS A STRICKEN LAND. Japan Again Vl.lted by a Terrible Earthquake. Yokohama, Sept. 4.
