The parade was a lesson in patriotism and the rising generation prof- | ited by’ it. It taught them that the de- | fenders of the flag are not forgotten and | the sacrifices they made in the nation’s defense can never be effaced from the memory of a grateful people.

The line of march was from Geary and abundance, but none can compare with the brilliant procession which passed in review yesterday.

The long line was led by Chief of Police Wittman and 200 men detailed for the occasion. Lieu- tenant James Kelly rode behind his su- perior officer as alde de camp. Then came Sergeant Helms anfl twenty-eight mounted officers from the Park squad. Following on foot were 150 men from the various companies of the department in charge of Lieutenant Gleason. Lieuten- ant Gleason marched at the head of Com- pany ‘A. Company B was commanded by Sergeant Coogan; "Company C by Ser- geant Blank and Company E by Sergeant Campbell. The police made a splendid showing and | the visitors commented favorably on their military appearance. The alignment of the - companies was perfect throughout the procession. Colonel J. B. Fuller was grand marshal, Colonel Willlam Edwards was his chief of staff and Colonel J. F. Burgin was his chief aid. The special aids to the grand marshal were: Lieutenant Colonel F. G. Hanson, Major E. L. Napthaly, Major P. J. Perkins, Major H. E. Curzon, Major J. H. Hendy, Major D. S. Dorn, Major D. H. Withern, Captain T. S. Bush, Captain R. E. Warfleld, R. B. Hale, Dr. ‘W. F.

HE second day of the Annual Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was filled with interesting events and the programme was carried through without a single change. The big military parade in the morn- ing was witnessed by the largest crowd ever seen in the streets of San Francisco. The perfect weather added to the enjoy- ment of the brilliant pageant and young and old alike were profuse in their ex- pressions of pleasure at the spectacle af- forded. From early morn until late at night Market street was congested with traf- | fic. The thousands of visitors in the city promenaded after the parade and visited the various hotels where the headquarters of the Grand Army and its kindred or- ganizations are located. Open house was kept at all the head- quarters and the “reunion” of those who figured in the stirring days of the early '60’'s was of an impressive nature, Not only the men who fought for the Union, but also the noble women who went to the battlefields as nurses or who ministered to the’comforts of the sick who returned from the front met once again yesterday and renewed old associa- tions. Many of the branches of the Grand Army held business sessions and elected officers for the ensulng year, that they might be able to attend the convention of the main organization, which opens to-morrow morning. In the évening Commander in Chiet General Stewart was accorded a monster ovation at the Mechanics’ where he was tendered a reception by the Grand Army of the Republic, the Wom- an's Rellef Corps and the Ladles of the G. A. R. Though the pavilion attracted thou- sands there were thousands more who spent the evening at the various State headquarters. The illuminations of the streets and triumphal arches drew a vast throng to Market street and up to midnight the streets were jammed. The programme for to-day includes the big parade by the veterans of the Clvil ‘War, a monster concert at the pavilion and many ‘“‘campfires” and reunions. The opening session of the encampment of the Grand Army begins to-morrow morning at the Grand Opera-house. , —_—— Spanish Billfighter Is Shot. BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 18.—Enrique Ro- bles, a Spanish bullfighter *who has given exhibitions in several California cities, was shot and severely wounded early this morning by William Atkinson, alias San Jose Bill. Robles entered a cafe while drinking heavily and became involved in an altercation with two waliters. Atkin- son ordered him to desist and the shoot- ing followed. Robles was wounded in the leg just below the hip. The wound is con- sidered quite serious. A in order | Pavilion, | -+ NIGARAGL NOW HOLIS - HTENTION Canal Advocates Turn Against Colombia.

Senators Morgan, Mitchell and Harris of the Canal Committee of the Senate and Representative Hepburn, who has for years been the canal leader in- the House, foresawthe present situation and, both In public and private, predicted exactly what has occurred. All of these men now take the ground that the President must turn .to Nicaragua and apply the appro- priation carried in the bill to that route. COLOMBIA FORFEITS CHANCE. It is held also that the administration has no authority to use what appears to be coercive or threatening or dilatory measures to complete the negotiations for the Panama route. Furthermore, it yond the intention the Spooner for this Government to express lombla any desire that the Col Senate’s actlon be reconsidered. The President is expected to wait neces- sary time for the Colombian Congress to adjourn finally without ratifying the treaty before actual ginning negotia- tions with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Any proposition to throw the whole mat- ter again into Congress at the coming extra session was discouraged by the ca nal advocates in view of the fact that it has been fought out completely and the will of Congress explicitly expressed It is believed here that the President may again ask for an expression of opin- | fon from Congress before finally turning to Nicaragua. In this conmection it is pointed ott that an expression of opinion could be quickly obtained from the Sen- ate if the President should have ready for the extra session treaties with Nica- ragua and Costa Rica. The .money has already been apprapri- ated for a canal and no one contends that, under the terms of the law, it cannot be applied to one route if negotiations fail in respect to another. AWAIT NEWS FROM BOGOTA. Apparently reflecting the s hopetul feeling at Oyster Bay that the treaty may be saved, officials at the State Depart- | ment are talking about the steps the Bo- gota Government may take to reopen the canal debate in the Colombian Senate. Dr. Thomas Herran, Colombian Charge d'Affaires, when asked to-night by what method of procedure the Hay-Herran treaty could again be brought to the at- tention of Colombian Congress, said: “Precisely the same as at Washington |1s the method of procedure in Bogota in this matter. All treaties must first be submitted to the Senate, and, when rati- fled by that body, they are then sent to the House for consideration. If the Sen- ate rejects a treaty, it is obviously im- possible for it to come before the House. “The Colombian Senate has, according to our best advices, rejected the canal by unanimous vote. There are two ways in which that treaty can be again considered in the Senate. That body can vote to re- consider its action on the treaty, or any member of the Senate may propose amendments to the treaty. Whether this will be done is a mere matter of speculas tion until we hear more of the details of the vote of August 12.” “wWhat of the report that the Bogota Government will endeavor to have Con- gress pass a biil along the lines of the Spooner lawi and what would be the object of such action,” was asked. COLOMBIA WOULD DICTATE. “There have been reports that this | would be done if the treaty were rejected. A bill may be introduced giving the terms of a canal treaty with the United States which would be satisfactory to Colombia and also empowering the President to rat- ify personally a treaty drawn according | “Continued on Page 6, Column % believed to be be- law Co- ombian of
