It took the parade of the Grand Army veterans three hours and five minutes to pass the reviewing stand, at Denver. On it were the National officers of the order and distinguished guests. Colonel Harper M. Orahood, chairman of the parade committee estimated that 15,000 members par- ticipated in the parade. Kansas carried off the honors for the largest representation, having nearly 2,500 men in line. The Colora- do and Wyoming departments came next with 1,800 men. Illinois, Penn- sylvania, Jowa, Ohio and Missouri had large delegations. Fifteen bands and more than half that num- ber of drum corps supplied music. A horseman was unseated by his frightened mount and in falling broke a finger. ‘A surgeon stationed near- by set the finger and the man was astride his animal and in line again before the procession had proceeded two blocks. The strain of marching caused John Donaldson, of St. Louis, to be stricken with heart failure 2 was carried to a hospital in an ambulance. His recovery is doubt- ful. One former Confederate ‘soldier in gray uniform rode in the parade waving ‘the Stars and Stripes and bowing to the applauding multitude. Later he appeared marching arm and arm with an aged veteran of the Un- ion army. Many who marched the were exhausted when the end was reached and many others, weakened by age, fell out of line long before the journey was completed. These tottering veterans, regretting their inability to remain ‘in the parade and giving every evidence of failing, ‘would be cared for by the persons nearest at hand, led to a place where they could rest and recover from their exhaustion. two miles ROOT ORDERED TO “MOVE ON.” Secretary of State Handled Rather Roughly by Police Officer. Elihu Root, secretary of state, was mistaken for a loiterer by an am- bitious special officer at the North Station, at Boston, and with a busi- ness-like grip of the arm was gruffly ordered to “move on lively.” The incident, which amused rather than provoked Mr. Root, occurred a few minutes after his arrival on the tardy St. John express Secretary Root had adroitly avoided any ex- tended interviews and was about -to give one of his two sons, who ae- companied him, instructions conecern- ing the baggage, when a giant spec- ial officer in a gray uniform swag- gered up to the group.- “Move on there, you fellers,” he shouted. “You're blocking .the way, and you better get along. - Lively now.” With the words the special officer grabbed the nearest member of the party to him, and it happened to be Secretary Root. He gave him a slight push. One of the Root boys looked a trifle amazed, but his father only smiled. kindly, and without . further delay they walked on out of the way and to their carriage, which wheeled them across the city to the South tation, where they boarded the train for Albany. NEBOGATOFF DISGRACED He and His Captains Are Dismissed | by the Czari An Imperial order was issued at St. Petersburg dismissing Rear Ad- miral Nebogatoff and the Captains of the battleship Nicholia I. (now the Iki) and the cruisers Admiral Senia- vin (now the Minoshima) and General Admiral Apraxine (now the Okinos-| hima), which ware surrendered to the Japanese in the battle of the Sea of Japan. All four officers, be- sides being deprived of their rank, are liable to punishment under the provisions of the naval penal code. The Emperor has ordered all other officers who surrendered their vessels to be tried on their return to Rus- | sia. STATE OF SEQUOYAH Civilized Tribes of Indian Territory Adopt Constitution. i Col. | The convention of the five civiliz-| | ed tribes of the Indian Territory, adopted a constitution. The pream- | ble, christening the new State Se- quoyah, was adopted without a dis- senting vote. The bill of rights is similar to that of most States ad- mitted during the last 50 years, in- cluding a section ies, prize fights and slavery.
