THE BRILLIANT DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS ON THE | MONUMENT GROUNDS LAST NIGHT WAS WIT- | NESSED BY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOU- SAND PERSONS—AN ELABORATE PROGRAM EX- HIBITED. Not less than 150,000 people witnessed the display of fireworks on the Monument grounds last evening, and it can safely be said that not one who was there was disappointed. Even be- fore the great parade was over people began to make their way to the Monument grounds, and before sundown thousands had gathered there. ‘Then, when the second passing of the old veter- ans bad become a thing of the past, visitors | and citizens alike began to pour into the | grounds, not by hundreds, but by thousands. Nightfall come, every available foot of space had been occupied. No better night for such a | purpose could have been made. Heavy, black | ciouds hung low, for a time making the display one of grave doubt, But no rain fell, and the | clouds provided a background admirable in every respect, so that every ray of light was in- | tensified almost a hundred fold. It was a vory tired and worn throng which | betook themselves to the immense grounds about the Monument, but it was a jolly, good- | natured one and little cared they that al- though eet for 7 o'clock it was about an hour later before the display was begun. Throwing ! BUSY SCE The Veterans Meet ut Different Headquar- tera Today and Fecal Old Scenes. The different headquarters today have been crowded by veterans congratulating each other on the great parade yesterday and reviving memories of the Around the headquarters of tho Department of Ohio last evening and today there was a constant stream of people coming and going. Commander Mack was on hand the greater part of the time and when duty called him else- where able reprerentatives took his place. General regret was expressed when it was learned that Gov. McKinley had canceled the order for his room at the Ebbitt on account of the death of his brother and many expressions of sympathy were heard. Gen. J. Warren Keifer. looking very little changed since the days when he was Jast in Congress, was a con- jcuous visitor. He will preside at the meet- ing of the third division of the sixth army corps tomorrow morning. Among those who will be present is Gen. Wright, the old commander of the corps. | The regular corps reunion takes place in the afternoon. Both Gens. Keifer and Wright will bo present. “We shall support Hurst, our own candidate for commander-in- chief,” said Gen. Keifer, when asked as to what Ohio'would do on the now important question. “But suppose you find that Gen. Hurst has no show, then what: When that contingency arrives we shall determine what to do, but un- til that time we are for Hurst first, last nnd all the time.” Past Department | Commander Dowling talked in the same strain. Gen. Hurst himself was .pout the Ohio headquarters a good share of the time, receiving returns from those engaged in making the canvass for him. There is some talk of other candidates in the event that Hurst shall fail,and both Lincoln and ‘Weissert will get voles when the break comes, ‘This opinion is shared by Editor A. W. Search of the Scioto Gazette, published at Chillicothe, the home of Gen. Hurst. Secretary Foster sent word to the headquarters that ho would be pleased tosee his friends at the treasury and it may be de- pended upon that he had many friends. A host of buckeyes thought they owned tho great building, judging from the manner in which they swarmed into it. The Indiana head- quarters being next to those of Olio there was & general freternization of the veterans from the two states, When Atiorney General Miller called at the Indiana quarters and pinned on a badge of the Indianapolis boomers quite n num- ber from the buckeye throng paid their re- spects to him. Many Ohio men wore Indianap- badges, sud nmong them there was a gen- eral desire that the Loosier capital might be given the next eacampment. In bebalf of the boom for Indianapolis a number of veterins who were good singers organized an expedi- tion to visit other delegations. With them went Marshal Runsdell of the District of Colum- bia, who is an enthusiastic advocate of his state capital. Gen, Powell Clayton, ex-Senator from Arkansas, visited bere and there the differ- ent headquarters, and was everywhere welcome. Judge David Harvey, delegate in Congress from Oklahoma, modestly called at the Ohio rooms. He served in the ranks of the fourth Ohio, and therefore felt some interest in mak- ing the call. Without ostentation ex-President Hayes, companied by Gen. Force of the Soldiers’ Home at Sandusky, called at the headquarters, A MEETING THIS EVENING. ‘The delegation from Ohio in the grand en- campment meet at 5 o'clock this afternoon in the headquarters at the Riggs House to consult upon matters of legislation coming before tho gracd encampment. Without doubt, if the question should be raised, it will be decided to support the claims of Indianapolis for the next encampment. Respecting the contest for com- mander-in-chief the delegates at the ment encampment were instructed to vote for Gen. Hurst, but it crops out that Past ment Commander Warner has declared his in- tention of voting for Col. Lincoln, and others, it is understood, will follow his lead. One or two votes will probably be cast for Welssert, PACIFIC SLOPE. It was everywhere interesting to see the vet- erans meet and renew old acquaintance, At no | tower higher than ever before into the bi themselves upon the ground they rested and talked again and again of the day's wonderful parade. Many brought campstools with them; others not 60 fortuna:e utilized boxes upon which to stand or seat themselve:. They were of all ages, from tie baby in arms to thos ripe old age. the inevitable small boy being most numerous. ‘The long wait between the hour announced and the commencement of the display was pleasantly utilized in a magnificent display of the search light thrown from the roof of the | Washington Loan and Trust building, 9th wnd F strects. It was mostly directed against the Mon- ument, and as its powerful light brought out the grand proportions of the noble shaft against the black background a sight lonz to be ro- membered was ufforded tho delighted thou- sands. Tho search light illuminated at least a third of the height of the | monument and as it was moved up and down its great height the monument cee ito ons. ‘Then the light was varied and one at a time all the colors of the rainbow were thrown upon it, the beautiful sight arousing the cheers of the immense crowd. But when the colors of the old flag were thrown upon it. the peak being bathed in red, followed lower down by a bright white and a deep blue, the magnificent spec- tacle aroused their enthusiatie patriotism to the highest degree, ouly to be aguin aroused a moment later when those beloved colors were thrown hich in the heavens. ‘The display of firesorks was commenced by an ascension of half a dozen balloons, which when they reached a height of several hundred feet dropped down long chains of brillifnt lights, floating off with them for quite a dis- tance. Then followed a salute of twenty-one acrial bombs, illuminating the grounds with place was there a heartier welcome for all comers than ata tent down on the White Lot at the headquarters of the seventh army cor} In one of the tents were a number of veterans who entered the army from California, many of whom had since drifted to pointa in'the cast.

Pettis, president of the C fornia Veteran Voluntecr Association, He was busy taking the names of all Californians who made their appearance. “You ree that most of us who are present now live in tho east,”” ho said, “but we lived in California when the war began and went to the army from that state. California furnished 15,725 men for the Union army, though her quota was only 15,060.” Capt. Vettis xerved in company K of the first California infantry. He is now an officer under the city government of Providence, RI. ‘The secretary of the associa- tion is Wm. A. Whitney ‘A meeting will be held at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. FROM MICHIGAN. There are fifty members of the old fourth Michigan cavalry at the Arlington. Others are coming on the belated trains. Gen. Mintey did not arrive until today. Corporal Munger, who halted Jeff Davis, and Private ‘lip Crittenden, who captured him, are here,’ and have been in- terviewed by nearly every correspondent in town concerning details of that cclebrated and important historic occurrence. Capt. Hudson, who led the advance on that occasion, is alo here. George P. Butier, now a member of tho Washington police force, is acting as guide and nardian of his comrades of the old fourth. President Hurst and Secretary Backus are at headquarters roceiving visitors and entertaining frienc a A TOUCHING TRIBUTE. The Grand Army Greeted by Songs From Children in Two Places. A featuro of the great parade of yesterday which will never be‘forgotten cither by the old veterans who marched init or by those who watched them was the singing of patriotic songs by the children of the public schools, It was a novel idea and as pleasing as it was novel. The children entered into it with all the enthusiasm of childhood, yet with a due sense of the importance of the part they were to play. For many days past they have faith- fully given their time to long rehearsals, will- ingly putting aside part of their vacation that they might do their part in making glad and welcome tho old veterans, That they succeeded may be inferred from a remark made after the parade by a member of one of the New York departments. ‘The sing- pony od the children, God bless them, touched us boys more than anything elsc. Especially when we were told that among them were chil- Gren of those who wore the gray.” THE OLD FLAG. ‘The children of the white schools were sta- tioned in the stand at 15th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, and, as was announced in THE Strap, were dressed and seated to represent the old flag. The girls who represented the union of the fag were dressed in bluc and seated in the upver corner to the left. The field was represented by girls dressed in red, white and blue, respectively, the stripes of the flag being thus appropriately mar The chik were in charge of Musical Di- rector Tracey, a cornetist leading them. They sang excellently, and showed that they had been ally trained. The chiliren were full of and of ‘all. the sung by them none duced the effect that viTho Star Spangled Bas ner” did.

He bowed again and again to the little ones as they saluted him with the waving of innumerable flags. of their songs was a new one, entitled ington in 1892." Tt was sung to the tune Through Georgia.” The old » diers did not catch the words, but they knew | the tune and joined in the chorus, waving their | hata and canes in perfect time. THE OTHER STAXD. The children of the colored schools were sta- ioned at the southwest corner of 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue in a handsomely decorated stand and their singing was remarkably fine. ‘They were dressed in white and each child car- ried a small flag. When they sang they waved them in time, and when not singing waved them continually at the passing Leroes, who en- thusiastically, Peer their salutations with ringing chee: One old veteran halted before the stand and throwing his hat high in the air cried: “That's right, children, cheer the Grand Army. We fought for you.” a LED BY ENTHUSIASM. Maimed Veterans Given an Ovation in Parade. ‘The ranks of the grand parade yesterday were marked from end to end with those com- rades who bear bodily evidence of having met with destructive rebel shells and cannon balls. Amid all the enthusiasm and cheering along the line of march it was almost pathetic to witness the silence which suddenly followed a burst of applause as the spectators caught sightof one-armed soldier, marching as proudiy as he did no doubt when leaving some quiet home for the front in ’G1. Occasionally they carried tho post flag,and it is safo tossy noneof the crippled veterans failed to be singled out and accorded a regular ovation. Here and there also was a veteran who has used a crutch ever since war days, and these did not seem to mind the tiresome tramp any more than their com- Fades with whom fate and time have dealt leas The Old Guard, which acted as escort to the bead of column, was the first command to call outa sympathetic demonstration. Just a few paces in front of the platoons marched a color guard and each of those veterans was minus an arm. To see them holding their standard as high and as proudly as any was a sight that ap- pealed strongly to the spectator and one not s00n to be forgotten. The Department of Wisconsin carried badger high in air as the state symbol, but more eloquent than whole columns of marching posts was tho stirring air of the two comrades who held each ond of the front rank in the second post from the lake shore state. ‘Their empty sleeves were pinned to the coat front,andit was startling to note the absence of one white gloved hand as the easy stride and swing of the platoon came abreast of the observation point.

All night long the Baltimore and Obio rail- road depot was crowded with men, Women and children who were as anxious to return home as they were to got here. Most of them were from Baltimore, and had come over here to see the procession and fireworks. They had scen everything that was to be seen in the short time and they were tired. Thoughts of a rest on the cars and a comfort- able bed at the other end was come consolation and they waited patiently their tarn while those in front of them moved elowly through the gates and got on the trains as they were made up. Fully 10,000 persons went over on the trains, Early this morning persons from other places 4s well as from Baltimore retarned home and the same busy scene of the past few days was only changed in so much as the turning of the heads toward the trains instead of being headed this way. ‘Then thero was the absence of the hundreds of anxious-looking faces in the crowd, persons waiting for friends or relatives whom they ex- pected here as their guosta. ‘There was also the ‘absence of the members of the various G. A. R. committees, the numerous messenger boys and guides, so that in all most of the faces were those of visitors. ‘The hotel and boarding house runners calling ‘Rooms and meals cheap” and the drivers of public vehicles call- TWO. be living are on « markets afford, ame here from Columbus PART PROGRAM OF EVENTS.
