Welegram to Tur Bre, | 5 has iveliest day Camp Shorman has experienced. anticipation of the great parade, the ans had everything in readiness, so so indeed that, when thoy assembled on the broad avenue in front of Commander Teoter's quarters, they were compelled to await tho assignment of the bands to enable them to take part in the annual march. The band assignment was made by Acting Adjutaut owen, with somo assistance from Raiph Platte, The task was a difticult one, because the musical oranizations, in at- tempting to reach the quarters to which they had been accredited, were compelled to wodge itheir way like a snow plow through the donse mass of humanity which thronged the thoroughfare. At length the line was formed and the move was made toward the city. The sun was warm and hundreds of vei- erans feared to tempt it in a march of four milgs. These accordingly remained inscamp, but the great majority could not forego the excitement of the parade. he column, headed by the Second Regi- ment band, moved through the busiuess district. At the head rode Commander ‘Pector of Lincoin. followed by Assistuant Adjutant Bowen, Lincoln, Quartermaster Streight of Plattsmouth, Iuspoctor General Parks of Ord, Junioz Vice Commandor Hull of Minden and Medical Director Jotinson of Gering, all of th “I'hen came Governor mounted upon a shapely bay and attended by Eis staff in full military uniform. Beside the govornor rode Captain H. H. Co infantry, representing the in of the United States army. The staff aflic formed u wost imposing body of mie Thon came the militia, and a thousand fe- malo hearts beat ardently with the hope of catching au adiniring glance from tho heroes of Pino Ridge. At their head rode General Colby. Accom- panying the woneral was s richly uniformod staff nding steeds wirich dabced to martial musi, Then came the drum corps of the Second regiment, fourteen young men, keeping awake the ochoes with tho din which has provailed in the camp during the past week. Phese were followed by the regiment, march- ing in fours, with a swinging gait, showing that they are beginning to fall mto he stylo of the regularsoldier. Tho regiment was under the command of Colonel Bills SM'hero were ten compantes in line, A of Kear- ney, Captain B. . Brown; B of Ord, First Lioutenant George W. Hall (Captain J.

TFollowing the Second came the band of the First regiment. There wero ten companies inline: A of York, commanded by Captain . F. Osborne; B of Fullerton, Captain J. T Smith; C of Beatrice, 'irst Lieutenaut I, Bourne; D of Liacoln, Captain W. Rhoads: I of Framont, Captain B. D. Percy; F of Juniata, Captain 'H. A. Moretand; G of Geneva, Captain G. C. Black; H of Nelson, Captain G. Lyons; Tof Benuett, Captain G. R. Wilson; K of Central City, Captain k. Hanson, Captain C. M. Murdock’s battery of two guns, followed. The gums were manncd by thirty-three men, who with their dreaded fustruments of noise and death, attracted the greatest amount of interest. The cavalry brought up the rear, thirty- eight men under Captain J. H. Chlver of Milford, bearing themselves with grace upon their stoads. The latter were of all sizes and colors but not of all conditions. They showed good treatment and lacked but uniformity of color and size, deficiencies which the captuin is endeavoring gradually to supply, hoping before long to have the ‘command enjoy the title of “‘Black Horse" cavalry. Marching of the Veterans. Then there was a wait of five minutes. Everybody thought the veterans had abandoned the march, The old men had ¥simply been distanced. The right of the great line was composed of young men who could take & regalation step for miles with out weurying. But youth had forever tled from *tho veterans. ' Wounds bad crippled them aud disoase hud woakened them. 'The martial strain aroused a feeling to which the limbs could not respond. Accordiagly, whon the head of tho vetorans reached —ond end of tho city, the guards had emerged fr the other. The ald “men, howover, were re- ceived with the livehest' evidences of honow and rospect. Their reception aloug the prin- «ipal thoroughfare was an ovation. It was an ovation which was not ungrateful to the soldier heart, because the heroes roturned with interest the cheers which greeced them on all sides, Tlinois, the home of Lincoln and of Grant, was given the right of the line. She was represented by 300 aged men under the com- mand of General J. C. Dilworth of Hustings. At their head marched tho Waostern band. Following the Iiinosisans was the beautful stallion, Lindon Tree, presented to General Grant by the sultan of Turkey. The animal was led by a groom. Thon camo Ohio's men, proud of the sons tho state has sent to all of the country only to distinguish thomselves, stepping to the music of Overton’s band. Accompanying them were o number of their wives “and children. They were marshalled by 1. Whit wker of Dunbar. Toww's sons wers headed by the West Point Juvenile band, which it may be mon- tioned may be cousidered one of the most romising musical orgauizations in the state. 3. A.

No such report has been heard here so far as 1 can ascertain, and nothing is known of the fugl- tive since he left Los Andes, The probabili- ties are very strongly against the story being true, for if Balmaceda had been killed 1t is long odds that the members of the junta would bave heard of it. Ishowed them the cable dispatch and thoy expressed surprise at the report of the rumor. Senor Errazurzi , the provisional minister of foreign affairs, requests me to thanlk the people of the United States through the col- umns of the Herald for the sympathy which has been shown by them for the congres- sional course during the long struggle which has so happily ended. The steamer Arequipa arrived av Val- paraiso from Iquique last ovening with Senor Waldo Silva, vice president of the sonate, and Senor Ramon Baros Luco, speaker of the house of reprasentatives, who, with Senor Jorge Montt, comprize the juuta degibierno. Senor Errazuriz, the provisional minister of foreign affairs, and other prom- inent congressional leaders are aboard. They wero received in style with great enthusiasm. Tho British wavship Champion dressed ship and manned the yards. As the Arequipa entered the bay a national salute was fired from the forts, and at their landing the ofticials were greeted with musie, fireworks and applause, The question of the disposition of the refugees has been finally settled, and tomor- row the United States steamer Baltimore, and a German man-of-war will leave for Peru with all the refugoes aboard. A final conference was beld aboard Admiral Brown’s flagship, the San Frauncisco, last night, and the question as to wno should and who should uot recoive guarantees was discussed. The German and American admirals worked through their respective min- isters at Santiago, and were informed by them that the junta would, under no circumnstances, give any guarantees as to the recent President-Elect Claudio Vicuna, Senor Barrados, Oscar Viel, Godoy Peraz Moutt, Captain Feuntes, Senor Salva or Colonel Pautos. The cases of the others were keopt under advisement until this morning, when the admirals were informed that no guaran- tees would be given at all. When this word was roceived it was decided that the two men-of-war with refugees wouldleaye for the north, Thoe American and German war ships are closoly watched day and night by the author- ities and this may have given rise to the talk in foreign circles that an effort mignt be made to prevent the sailing of the Baltimove and the German ships, and to tako the refugess away from them by force. There is really no reason so far as 1 can leara to baliove that any such step is in contemplation. All the newspaper sup- porters of the late goyerumeut are marked men and will have to leave the country 1f they can, This is particularly tho case in re- gard to Major Henerara who wa.

The Condell, under fthe command of Cap- tain Morago, sailed from Valparaiso as convoy to the Lmperiale on August 22, two days after the landing of the congressional army at Quintero bay. The mission of tho two ships was to transport troops from Coguinbo to Taleuanho. On their arrival at Coquinbo thoy received news that Balmaceda had met with defeat at the hands of the congression- alists. At that Captain Morago decided to suspend the transportation of troops and pro- ceed to Calluo, a neutral port, where orders could be received from the government as to what course to pursue. The Condell and Tnperiale steamed into port this morning and for the first time heard of the.defeat of the Balmacedists at Valparaiso, - the flight of Balmaceda, the tall of Santiago and the com- plete triumph of the junta, and decided to surrender. Captain Moraga had been particularly active in all the operations a sea against the rovolutionists and felt that it would hardly bo safe for him to return to Chili. After consultadon with the Chilian minister he decided to formally hand over the two ships to that ofticial as the represeatative of the government. Tho transfer was made today and the minister cabled to the junta as to what should,be done with the vessels. OF GREAT INTEREST 10 SURGEONS, Accidental Discovery of a Berlin Doc- tor That Will Prove Invaluable, BeRLiy, Sept. 8.—A remarkable discovery has been made by Dr, G. L, Streich of this aity. Ho was conducting experiments, with view to detormining how weak a solution of cocoane would prove eficacious as a local avwsthetic in minor surgical oporations, when he stumbled upon the fact that simple water injected under the skin with a syringe renders the flesh at that point insensible to pain, The offect of the water is to create a light sweiling resembiing that caused by the stinging of a goat, 'The space marked by the swelling remains insensible to pain for some minutes so that incisions can be made with- out causing the slightest pain, European Troops in Motion, Loxroy, Sept. §.—In.

Counsel in the Davis Will Case Begin Their Arguments. Burre, Mont., Sept. 3. —The closing scenes in the celebrated Davis will case are now being enacted. Al the testifiony has been taken and most of the delegation of witnesses have started for their homes, Colonel Ingersoll, for the contestants, will spoak tomorrow. This morhing the argu- ments by counsel were begun by Judge Dixon for the proponents, who said: ‘“This case now resolves itself 1uto two propositions —was the will written, as we claim, at_ the home of Jaufos Davis in 1306, and is it genu- 1ne, or was it abrogated by the so-called Kuight will? Their theory is that in 1500 J. R. Eddy, an illiterate man, conceived the scheme of forging the will and sits down to write. Not satisfied with saying this will was a forgery, they claim that was dono away wit® by the Kuight will. That rests upon the testimony of Mr. Knight, his memory is one of the most ecu- liar I have over met; at first he thought the will was made in 1877 or 1878, and, after being pinned down, said it was the wintor of 1531, I think tho true theory is that Mr. Knight veally did draw up a will for Judge Davis, but it was not signed and simply given to keep, and that is the reason he cannot remem- bor dates vetter.” Ho was followed by Attornoy Morris for the contestant. He said: *\We have courtod the truth in tho case, and have sought for nothing elso. I take first the quostion of re vocation : but little was said about it. The’'66 will was broughtinto court, which we say was never drawn, and if it haa been, a second will had boon drawn about 180, which re- voked the first will. How did proponents meot this claim? They say if the 1876 will was ovor revoked it was duly ropublished. They said the Knight will was destroyed about 1882, which closed the caso, ess Mr. Davis republished the will of 1806, Nothing short of republication would have rovoked toat first will. In their pleadings they claim that the will of 1806 was ropublished after 1882, Now wae come to the proposed will. Do you think it hikely that Judge Davis would have ignored ~ his father, who was then near his death, to give sup- port to Joff and Pot Davis and a woman who had & husbaud, ‘and to give everything to his brother Joln? 13 it likely that” A.J. Davis did not kunow thut Miss Burcnsil had been married for years whon he had spoken of her six years before by her married name? 1s it likely that A, J. Davis would make a document like that and leave itin lowa twenty-fivo years when he was so methodical, when he kept papers of the smallest_importance for yoars! Yet they would have you believe that this care- ful mulionaire banker left this will behind him for o quarter of a cou- tury and never sent for it.” He then discussed the character of the signature and said: “A number of indications fix the tracing as tho work of J. R. Eddy boyond question. You will find thee thut the in strokes used by Eddy which have crept against his knowledge, the trace that betrays the waker; the calendering and ironng it down smooth and brown. All this having been done befora the writing was put on, You will also find that one end nad veen car- bonized in order to give it the appearance of age. This document does not show a singlo mark of age. Colonel Sanders followed and referred chiefly to the experts aud their testimony and hind not concluded when the court ad- journed. - TOWA ALLIANCE SCHEMES, Convention at Sioux Tity will deavor to Strengthen the Party, Siovx Crry, Tn,, Sept. 8.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Brr.]—The convention of the fleventh lowa congressional district Farmers alliance began its sessions today.

Sept. 8. —Secretary Itusk today received oficial notico that the Germun government had raised the embargo on American pork. The 2 tive to the admission of pork into Germany was signod at Cape May Point about ton days ago, but at the request of the German government the fact wus withbeld from the public pross until oflicial action could be taken by the homo wovorament. The agroément not only provides for the ad- mission of our pork into Germany, but also af- fords to the Unitod States tho same schedule with reference to our farm products as that enjoyed by Russia. Sccretary Rusk is con- fident that he will soon bo able to extend our market for corn by introducing it into Ger- many for use as an articlo of food in the place of rye, the crop of which, in Germany, is this vear exceodingly short. To this end ho has fustructed his corn agent, Colonel C. J. Murphy, now in Europe, to proceed at once to Borlin aud lay the mattor before the German government. Action Can Supply the Domand. Wasiingroy, Sept. 8.-“Oh no, if Ger- many will receive our saltod pork and bacon after it bas undergono inspeetion, there will bano trouble in suppiying that market," said Secretary Rusk yesterday in response 10 an inquiry by a correspondent. He con- tinued: ‘“About 1200 carcasses ave being inspectod datly, which, at an average of 200 pounds cach, is equal to 240,000 pounds, or 1,440,000 pounds a weols, That tao work is thoroughly done I am satistied by personal obscrvation as well as by the veports of in- spectors. 1f noybody can find a viece of diseased moat whion has passod the inspec- tors I shall be greatly surprised. Of course, if it shall bo necessary, the @mount in: spected daily can be incronsed at loast gne- thivd, making the total for each woek nearly ,000,000 pounds, Inspectors are now sta- tioned at Milwaukee as_well as Chicago, and applications have boen roceived from Kansas City und Omaha, which will receive duo con- sideration.” According to Seeretary Rusk’s informa- tion, the corn crop of this year promises to be an unusually lavge one,” 1t is rather late, but by September 15 or 20 he thinks it will bo out of the way of the frost. o 1s also of of the opinion that the surplus of pork and vacon for exportation will be about or above ports, as_well as his own extensive parsonal obsorvation and inquiries, indicating that the number of swine has in: cronsed somewhat and that they are in un- usually zood condition. It is probable, how- ever, that the surplus of corn for export will bo unusually large, and it is _not impossible that the demand for it on the continent of Europe may bo stimulated by the short sup- ply of wheat, rye and other cereals. It has béen sugwested that ivis barely possible that some of the ISuropean countries may sus- pend or modify, temporavily at least, the duties on [udian corn und” corn monl, and rve and rye flour, but thero hns been no pub- lic official intimation of such an futention.
