zens Cheer and Flags Wave as Sol
diers Filo Through Streets.
SAN FRANCISCO The parade of
the military, naval and civic bodies of
this city and state, which took place
Tuesday morning, furnished an impos
ing spectacle for the vast crowds of
people who packed the sidewalks, win
dows, roofs and everv point of vantage
along the line of march.
It was certainly one of the finest dis
plays ever seen here and the utmost
enthusiasm prevailed among the spec
tators, who greeted their special favor
ites in each branch of the service with
rousing cheers as they passed in the
procession.
The scene, as the troops, both regu
lars and state, in their natty uniforms
passed along the gaily decorated
streets with banners flying and bands
playing, was one which will be long
remembered by those who saw it.
Sharp niton the appointed hour the
bugle gave the signal to advance, and
following orders from headquarters,
the naval and civic organizations
wheeled into line in their appointed
positions. Grand Marshal Colonel J.
B. Fuller, in grand army uniform, led
the advance, his chief of staff. Colonel
W. Edwards, and chief aide. Colonel J.
F. Bergen, both being dressed in
fatigue uniform of the National Guard
of California.
Following came the first division.
This was composed of detachments of
United States troops, sailors and ma
rines, including the Seventh infantry,
three batteries of field artillery, the
First and Second batteries coast artil
lery, United States marines and sail
ors, the latter under command of Lieu
tenant J. P. Morton. The senior com
manding officer of the regular troops
was Lieutenant Colonel T. C. Wood
bury. The second division was made up of
regiments of the California National
Guard, led by Major General John H.
Dickinson and Brigadier General C. F.
Muller. This detachment was made
up of the Second brigade, N. G. C,
Colonel T. F. O'Neill commanding;
the First and Fifth infantry regiments.
First battery of artillery. Troop A,
cavalry, and the signal corps, dis
mounted. The naval battalion came next, at
tracting much attention from the
crowds of spectators as they swung
past dragging their Gatling batteries.
The veteran reserve, Company A. fol
lowed as special escort to a body of
ex-union prisoners of war.
Then came a line of carnages col
umns two abreast, with the guests of
the day and dignitaries, military and
civic.
Lieutenant General Miles, retired,
who occupied a carriage with Chief
Justice Beattv of the supreme court
of California, was loudly cheered along
the line of march, the friendly feeling
being cordially acknowledged by the
gallant officer, who appeared highly
pleased by the reception he received.
It may be set down as a certainty
that General John C. Black of Illinois,
will succeed General Stewart as commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army of
the Republic.
Department Clcrx Suicides.
WASHINGTON.. Stephen E. Hall
of Aurora, 111., a portege of Senator

SPOKANE, Wash. A great forest
fire is raging near Elk. about twenty
five miles north of this city. It is re

white pine and cedar has been burned
over already and unless rain falls the
loss will be heavy. A hundred men

control it. It is estimated that from
12.000,000 to 15,000.000 feet of timber
has been destroyed.

DECLARES HMSELF BEST MAN.
What Jeffries Said After the Fight
Was Over.
SAN FRANCISCO Jeffries said af
ter the fight here Friday, night: "My
fight will demonstrate to the public
that I am a better man than I ever
was and gives the lie to the reports
which has been circulated in some
quarters that I am a physical wreck,
through drink and other dissipation.
I trained faithfully for this fight and
the result shows that I am the nat
ural champion. I outboxed Corbett in
every round and carried the fight to
him at every stage of the game. I
must say, however, that Corbett put
u- a better fight than I thought, he
would. His punches had no steam,
and when they did land, which was
not often, they did not pheeze me.
At no time was I distressed and I
felt confident of winning from the
first. I would have put him out 'n
the fourth if my glove had not burst.
The half minute's . delay to replace
the glove did Corbett a world of good
and he was able to continue the con
test. Although he knew I was his
master and lost his old-time confi
dence, he occasionally showed his old
agility. I fought harder with m,T
trainers during the conditioning sea
son than I Cid with Corbett and I
finished the contest as fresh as when
I entered the ring.
'I have no plans for the future.
Those matters are left to my manager
and my trainer."

LINCOLN The republican state
convention here Tuesday nominated
this ticket with practical unanimity,
adopted a declaration of principles,
and by resolution launched the boom
of John L. Webster of Omaha for vice
presidential place on the presidential
ticket.
The convention was marked by a
spirit of harmony and absence of con
tentious struggles more pronounced
than in any state convention of recent
years. Considering the fact that there
were no issues to be fought out, or
conflicting candidacies to champion,
the attendance was better than was
expected. On the roll call 1,028 votes
were recorded out of a total of 1,051,
the eleven counties which were unrep
resented being those most sparsely
settled and remote while of the dele
gations present most of them were
fairly represented.
VESUVIUS IS STILL BELCHING.
Neapolitans Not in the Least Per
turbed Over It.
NAPLES Vesuvius continues ac
tive and the eruption has now lasted
two weeks. On nights when there is
no moonlight, the spectacle is mag
nificent, the crater belching flames to
the height of nearly 4,000 feet.
In spite of the legend that Naples
will be destroyed by Vesuvius, the
Neapolitans firmly believe that their
patron saint, San Gennaro, will stop
the flow of lava with a gesture, should
it advance too near Naples. The
stream of lava, after flowing 2,650 feet
in the direction of Otto Janno, has
stopped, while the other stream is still
moving and has reached a point 2,550
feet toward Pompeii.
, . Fresh Riots in Croatia.
VIENNA Fresh riots have occurred
in Croatia. At Zapresio, on the occa

of Emperor Francis Joseph, 1,000 peas
ants gathered in the town and de
stroyed a Hungarian banner. The
rioters were resisted by the gendarm
erie, who shot three men and wounded
many others. At Lomesina the peas
ants pilled stores and storied the mil
itary, who killed two and wounded
many more.

JEFFRIES WINNER
SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDS
TO CHAMPIONSHIP.
TITLE
VICTORY III THE TENTH ROUND
Sponge Thrown Up to Save Corbett
From Needless Punishment Evi
dence that Jeffries Stands Alone in
His Class.
MECHANICS PAVILION, SAN
FRANCISCO. James J. Jeffries.
heavyweight champion of the world.
played with Corbett for nine rounds
and a half Friday night and then Cor-
bett's seconds stopped the fight to
save their man from needless punish
ment. The end came shortly after the be
ginning of the tenth round, when
Jeffries planted one of his terrific left
swings on Corbett's stomach. The
man who conquered John L. Sullivan
dropped to the floor in agony and the
memorable scene at Carson City, when
Bob Fitzsimmons landed his solar
plexus ilow, was almost duplicated.
This time, however, Corbett struggled
to his feet and again faced his gi
gantic adversary. With hardly a
moment's hesitation Jeffries swung
his right and again landed on Cor
bett's stomach. Jim dropped to the
floor and then it was that Tommy
Ryan, seeing it was all over, motioned
to Referee Graney to stop it.
The fight demonstrated beyond all
doubt that Jeffries stands alone in his
class. He showed remarkable im
provement on both speed and skill.
Corbett during the first part of the
fight was almost outpointed and the
few blows he landed on Jeffries were
apparently without sting. Jeffries was
never in better condition. He looked
lighter than usual and the way he
moved about on his feet and the fre
quency with which he countered Cor
bett's leads astonished everybody.
Corbett, in comparison with the big
man opposed to him, looked light, but
was really heavier than ever before.
He appeared to have lost some of his
old time speed and skill during the
early part of the fight, but this may
have been due to Jeffries' marvelous
improvement.
Corbett's physical condition appear
ed to be all that be had claimed. He
stood many of Jeffries' terrific blows
without wincing and came back swing
ing left and right and landed frequent
ly, but his blows hardly stunned
Jeffries. Jeffries was not only strong
er and cleverer than ever, but he used
his head to better purpose and al
though Corbett would hit him hard
enough to hurt an ordinary man
Jeffries bore right in without notic
ing the blows and delivered telling
hits that materially aided in deciding
the fight.
At first Corbett was cautious and
apparently was outpointed by Jeffries,
but later he warmed up and rhowed
some of his old time cleverness. From
the first, however, it was generally
regarded as a hopeless case for Cor
bett. He made a gallant fight, but
he never stood a show to win.
After the fight was over Corbett
quickly recovered, walked over to
Jeffries and shook him warmly by the
hand. He said: "Jim, you beat me
fairly. You stand alone. No one
can touch you."
CANNON AND ALLISON MEET.
Neither Will Discuss the Object of
Their Conference.
CHICAGO. 111. Senator William B.
Allison and Congressman Joseph G.
Cannon of Illinois, slated as speaker
of the next house, held a conference
at the Auditorium Annex, but neither
statesman would discuss the meeting.
"I saw Senator Allen." said Con
gressman Cannon, "but there is noth
ing I can say about our meeting. I
am on my way to Nebraska." Senator
Allison remained but a short time in
Chicago and. as he did not see any
other politician during his visit, it is
surmised that he came especially for
the conference with Congressman Can
non. In Chinese Famine District.
LONDON According to mail ad
vices from Hong Kong, missionaries
returning from the famine district in
Kwangsi province, south China, report
that conditions there improved. The

pected that necessity for further dis
tribution of food would disappear en

The Georgia legislature, as well as
the state prison commission, has de
termined to make a thorough investi
gation of the whipping administered
to Mamie De Crist, the "diamond
queen," at the state prison farm at
Milledgeville. One resolution intro
duced in the house calls for the dis
charge of the man who administered
the whipping and the pardon of Miss
De Crist.
; Gov. Terrell called on the prison
commissioners in person and demand
ed a fuller report than the commission
had asked for and instructed the com
mission to discharge the whipping

Later reports from Milledgeville
show that Miss De Crist was tied

EXTRA CONGRESS.
May be Called Aogether Early in Oc
tober.
OYSTER BAY, L. I. President
Roosevelt's conference with asubcom
mittee of the senate finance commit
tee was not concluded until the small
hours of Friday morning. The whole
subject of financial legislation at the
appropaching session of congress was
discussed thoroughly.
The committee, consisting of Sena
tors Aldrich, chairman; Piatt, Connec
ticut; Allison and Spooner did not
present even a tentative draft of a cur
rency bill to the president, although
some propositions which subsequent
ly, may be embodied in the measure
were reduced to concrete form.
No definite conclusions as to the
shape of the proposed legislation were
reached. The conference related rath
er to methods of procedure in the
work at hand than to the form of the
legislation.
At 7:30 Thursday, morning the mem
bers of the committee left Sagamore
Hill, boarded their yacht, Vergena,
and sailed for Providence on their
return to Senator Aldrich's home. One
fact of distinct .importance was de
veloped at the conference. While an
extraordinary session of congress next
fall is assured it has not been deter
mined definitely whether it will be
called to meet in October or in No
vember. It has been supposed that the ex
traordinary session would convene on
Monday. November 9, but the Indica
tions now are that it will be called
for an earlier date, perhaps several
weeks earlier.
The primary purpose of the extraor
dinary session will be to enact legis
lation making operative the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, but financial legis
lation wil lalso be pressed upon the
attention of congress soon after it con
venes. Andre Relic Discovered.
VANCOUVER, B. C What is un
doubtedly a relic of the ill-starred
Andre expedition was brought to Van

pector . who has spent four years in

He arrived here on Monday, brining
with him portion of the silk used in
the construction of Andre's balloon.
Portland Gold Mine Sold.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. W.
K. Ryan, son of Thomas F. Ryan, vice
president of the Morton Trust com
pany, of New York, has purchased
control of the Portland Gold Mining
company, owning and operating the
Portland mine at Cripple Creek, for
the Writney-Ryan syndicate and the
Guggen Exploration com pan y. The
price paid for the 1,000.000 shares is
said to be in the neighborhood of $5,-
000,000.
Mobilize Bulgarian Troops.
SOFIA, Bulgaria Orders have been
Issued for the mobilization on Wed
nesday of two divisions of reserves.
It was rumored that they will be em
ployed in strengthening the forces of
the frontier to prevent the passage of
Bulgarian bands into Macedonia. The
officials, however, state that this
rumor is unfounded and that the re
serves were called out , to undergo
their customary training of fifteen
days.
male convicts are treated and then
whipped. Immediately after being
lashed she was manacled to a negress
and sent to the field in the broiling
sun.
Supt. Foster, over whose protest tho
whipping was done, has resigned.
Miss De Crist is in a serious condition.
Her mind seems to be affected. Slio
claims the 'Shipping was administered
as a result of her refusing to enter
tain Improper proposals made to her
by Warden Alagood.
Warden Allagood has been dis
charged from his position at the Geor
gia state prison farm, and there will
be no more whipping of female con
victs in Georgia as a result of tho
story told by Mamie De Crist to the
legislative investigating committee.
TAFT DENIES THE RUMOR.
Says that He is Not to Succeed Secre
tary Root.
MANILA When the news arrived
here by cable that Secretary Root of
the war department would be forced
to resign the portfolio by his duties
as a member of the Alaskan bound
ary commission, about to meet in
London, his resignation to take effect
under certain conditions in December
next, if not sooner, a reception was
taking place at the palace in honor
of Major General George W. Davis,
until recentlv in command of the divi
sion of the Philippines and now on
the retired list.
Governor Tait who was present,
when shown the statement contained
in this dispatch, that he would suc
ceed Secretary Root upon his retire
ment, laughingly replied that the re
port was untrue. Later on, when a
second message was received confirm
ing an alleged offer of an appointment,
the governor denied the statement In
similar terms.
PRESIDENT WILL NOT TALK.
Is Disappointed at the Action of Col
ombia. OYSTER BAY N. Y. Upon the re
turn of the president to Sagamore Hill
Monday evening from reviewing the
fleet, he found awaiting him news of
the rejection of the Colombian canal
treaty. While he naturally was dis
appointed at the action of the con
gress, he does not desire at this timo
to make any comment upon it.
When it was learned recently that,
the Colombian congress intended to
amend the treaty, it was understood
that an intimation was conveyed to
the Colombian government that such
amendments as were proposed would
be unsatisfactory to this government.
The rejection of the treaty followed.
It is quite certain that the action of
Colombia will induce some consulta
tions of importance in the near future
and possibly some action by congress
at the extraordinary session.

A New Slot Machine.
The "slot" machine has entered a
new field. For a long time, by drop
ping a penny In its maw the gum
chewer, the man who likes to know
what his exact avoirdupois Ik, the rlrl
who loves a lozenge and even tho
quick-lunch man. hurriedly seeking a
sandwich have been accommodated.
Hut the new field is a wider one. Tho
diner in some restaurants can now, by
a new Invention in the "slot." lin
rest at ease while he takes bin meals
and reads complacently between blteH
the religious mottoes on the wall, for
before he Hits down be can go to a
box, drop a penny in tho nlot. and outi
jumps a key from another slot. That
key opens a closet, ample enough lor
his hat and coat. The very hooks on
which he hangs his clothes lock also,
so that, even if the door of the cloM t
were opened the artidoH cannot be
hurried away with by anyone but thV
owner.

ABOUT COMPLEXIONS.
Food Makes Them Good or Bad.
Saturate tho human body with
strong ccrTee and It will In time thiw
in the complexion of the coffee
drinker.
This Is caused by the action or
coffee on the liver, thus throwing part
of the bile into the blood. Coffeo
complexions are Fallow and muddy
and will stay that way until coffee Is
given up entirely.
The sure way to recover rosy cheeks
and red lips is to quit coffee and drink
Postum Food Coffee which makes re
blood. "I had been for more than 20
years an inveterate coffee drinker
and it is absolutely true that I had
so completely saturated myself with
this drug that my complexion toward
the last became perfectly yellow and
every nerve and fibre in me was
affected by the drugs In coffee.
"For days at a time I hd been
compelled to keep to my bed on ac
count of nervous headache and stom
ache trouble and medicines did not
give me any relief. I had never con
sulted a physician In regard to my
headaches and terrible complexion
and I only found out the cause of
them after I commenced the use of
Postum which became known to roe
through Grape-Nuts. We all Iik-2d the
food Grape-Nuts and It helped ua ro
we thought Pobtum must certainly
have merit and we concluded to try
it. We found it fo delicious that we
continued the use altogether although
I never expected it to help my health.
"After a few months my headaches
were all gone and my complexion had
cleared wonderfully then I knew that
my troubles had been caused by cof
fee and had been cured when I left
off coffee and drank Postum In Its
place." Name given by Postum Co..
Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum will charge tho blood of
any coffee drinker and rosy cheeks
and health take the place of a yellow
skin and disease.
