Paul for several hours yesterday, re
newing tho assuranco of their youth
and feeling in their veins tho martial
spirit that animated them in tho old
days when they marched through tho
south as the victors over thoso whom
they now honor as comrades. The
wind was an ideal ono for mnrching,
tho warm rays of tho sun being behind
tho clouds nearly all day and a slight
breeze making the tramp much eusier
for thoso in lino.
Tho first departments wore directed
to form at 0:30 o'clock and to be pro
pared to move ono hour later. It was
just 11:30 o'clock when the head of tho
parado reached tho grand reviewing
stand at Smith park and Ocn. Walker
took his place on tho platform and tho
first division headed by tho veteran
signal corps passed in review. It was
2:35 in tho afternoon when tho last
post in the big eighth division, con
taining Minnesota veterans, had passed
and thero was scarcely a noticeable
break in tho line, post followed post
and department coming after depart
ment in almost endless succession.
Tho enlivening music of many bands
and the stirring martial sound of the
veteran drum corps signalled the ap
proach of each new department and
the crowd showed prompt appreciation
of tho appearance of various favorites.

Tho work of the Woman's Relief
corps was praised and tho jealousies
between that and rival women's organ

ill feeling among veterans whose wives
were members of the different auxili
ary societies. Tho general said ho had
appointed u committee of five to work
for consolidation and end the trouble
if possible.
Tho Sons of Veterans were referred
to as the natural successors to and the
reserve of tho Grand Army. "As wo
come off guard," said Gen. "Walker,
"and take up our lino of march to tho

AFRAID OF THE JAPS.
Sandwich Island Fooplo Havo Now Causo to
Seek Annexation.
Seattle, Wasn., Sept. 5. - H. G.
Whitney, ex-post master-gen oral of tho
Hawaiian islands, who has just arrived
from Honolulu, reports a strong re
vival of the annexation feeling on tho
islands and says that it is intensified
through the belief that should Hawaii
be annexed to tho United States the
threatened Japanese troublo would bo
entirely wiped out by the abrogation of
nil oxisting treaties. 15y what is known
as tho Gibson treaty, entered into
with Japan about 13 years ago, tho Ja
panese may pour into the island in un
limited numbers. They now number
25,000 and arc coming at tho alarming
rate of 3,000 a year. Ho thinks it is
only a question of a few years when
tho Japanese will outnumber the na
tives and naturalized population, and
in that case would cuuso serious
trouble.
