Enforcement of General Orders Causes Unpleasant Incident. Chattancoga, Tenn., Sept. 17.—En- forcement of an order excluding wom- en and civilians from the forty-seventh annual parade of the Grand Army of the Republic today prevented the N. B. Forest camp of United Confederate Veterans from participating in the Pageant. An invitation to join in the { parade had been tendered Colonel L. T. Dickinson, commander of the Forest mander of the Forsyth post of Toledo. Just when they were ready to take their places Colonel Hanson informed Colonel Dickinson that the commander of the department of Ohio, Colonel W. 0. Warnock, had been instructed to everyone from the parade except union veterans. The confederate vet- erans marched quietly back to their headquariers. They were greeted by cheers by the union veterans. In a statement Colonel Dickinson sald: “We regreited the incident very much, but I believe our comrades and especially those in the Forsyth post Were even more distressed. We hold of the boys in biue. To show that there is no hard feeling against any of them, we are tendering an invitation 10 visit our camp tomorrow. This in- vitation is to the rank and file of the boys in blue” The following” explanation of the in- cident was made in a statement to- night by Commander in Chief Beers of the G, A. R.; “Yesterday I learned that there was 2 body of women here planning to take part in the Grand Army of the Repub- Jic parade. I aiso understood that these women were from the state of Ohie.

IMPEACHMENT COURT WILL CONVENE TODAY. YFriends of Sulzer Confident of a Fa- vorable Verdict. Albany. Y. Sept. 17.—The stage is set for the opening tomorrow noon of i the trial of the impeachment of Wil- | liam ‘Sulzer, govermor of the state of IINew York. Everything is in readiness \for the fall of the gavel which will as- semble the first high court of impeach- ment ever convened in this state to pass upon charges filed against her chief executive, Governor Sulzer had one of his final conferences with his counsel tonight. The assembly board of managers, the members of which act as prosecutors {in the trial, and their legal assistants discussed the method of procedure on | the morrow. Members of the court of appeals and the senators who jointly compose the high court mapped out | their plan of action. Meanwhile official Albany, and in fact the entire state, waited in anxious expectancy. ! Friends of the impeached executive i renewed their assertions that he was in good spirits, confident of a verdict which would clear his name of the stigma cast upon him by the adoption of the articles of impeachment by the state assembly. They were no less certain that he had no thought of re- igning and thus escape the ordeal of what promises to be a lengthy trial. On‘the other hand, his opponents were | free in expressing the opinion that | after the legal preliminaries had been swept away and the taking of testi- mony had begun the governor would | surrender his office rather than face a | grilling cross examination which prob- ably would search out the innermost secrets of his life. Tonight a mass meeting of sympa- ! thizers of the governor was held. | CHINA FAILS TO | OFFER AN APOLOGY. iHe.— Accaptarics: 'of ¥ Iznants Biunand t Confined to Minor Points. Tokio, Sept. 17.—China’s acceptance Japan’s demands in connection with e killing of several Japanese at Nan- king is confined thus far to minor points. No answer has been received to the demand for an apology for in- sults directed against the Japanese flag and uniform or to the demand for the dismissal of General Chang Hsun | from the governorship of Kiang-Su province. Before presenting the demands the Japanese foreign office sounded Great Britain regarding her attitude in the epent of military action being taken, and learned that Great Britain would view it with apprehension, as such ac- tion would be likely to encourage the partition of China among the powers. The British government promised its support to Japan diplomatically at Pekin in the demand for indemnity and an apology, but refused to coun=- { tenance military or naval actten.

Washington, Sept. 17. — Weeks, months, or possibly years, might roll by before the supreme court would act finaliy should Harry K. Thaw ap- peal from the habeas corpus proceed- ings now pending in New Hampshire. | Of late, however, the court has dis- l‘\nnnd of such important cases quick- . Whether an appeal to the suprems court from the action of Judge Aldrich federal district judge in New Hamp- shire, before whom the habeas corpus proceedings were brought, may be granted, will rest entirely, it is said, with Judge Aldrich himself. A few years ago an appeal from the denial of the writ of habeas corpus was grantable as a matter of right. Practices grew up, however, which courts regarded as travesties on jus- tice and the law was changed to give | the judge passing on the case the | power to say whether thers was suf- | ficient doubt as to the points raised to justify an appeal | An immediate appeal could not be acted upon by the supreme court he- fore October 13 at the very earlies because the court will not convene, under law, before that date. There ars now .more than seven hundred cases awaiting disposition there and it will take the court more than two years to pass upon them. | LANE DISREGARDS PHYSICIAN'S ORDERS.
