The ninth division was in charge of Marshal Morris Simonoff. His aids were Dr. J. W. Likens and R. L. Radke. The Columbia Park Boys' Band and Drum Corps led the division. These youngsters, who, one bystander said, wer: knée high to a grasshopper,” played llke old-time professionals. The drummers wielded their sticks with skill and the buglers played stirring marches. The appearance of the little fellows was the signal for cheering. The lads stepped out like regu- lars and when they passed the reviewing stand they saluted with all the dignity of tried veterans. Major Sydney S. Plex- otto commanded the regiment, and he was given excellent assistance by his young officers, The Austrian Military Company, com- manded by Captain Russell, and members Benevolent Association, led by President 8. Saladin, also took part in the parade. The Roosevelt Boys' Club, the splendid parade. The youngsters were attired in khaki and wore the Rough Rid- er's hat. - MEETS OLD COMRADE. As W. W. Stone, one of the Grammar School principals, was assisting the cap- taln in forming Phelps’ squadron for the parade a tall, robust veteran approached and asked Mr. Stone: “Weren't: you the sMip's clerk of the Colorado when Dewey was ‘first Juff'?" “I was,” answered Mr. Stone. “Well, maybe you don’t remember me.” “I am sorry to say I don't. “Well, I am August Runge, apprentice boy on the Colorado and coxswain - of Dewey's dingey.” Mr. Runge is now chief of the Fire De- partment of Minneapolis, and Mr. Stone laughingly turned to the bystanders and compared the little 14-year-old, rolypoly, red cheeked youngster with the well rounded, substantial citizen of to-day. Mr. Stone recalled an amusing incident in the career of the young apprentice. Young Runge was put in charge of the market boat by Mr. Stone as ship’s clerk. Coming back from market some of the boat's crew smuggled some whisky aboard and Dewey, holding Runge responsible; put him in charge of the master at arms and for a week the young fellow swung in a hammock on the berth deck. —_————————— False Rumor of Assassination. BELGRADE, Servia, Aug. 18.—There ls no truth in the sensational report, circu- lated in the United States yesterday by a news agency, that the Russian Vice Con- sul at Monastir, Dr. Mandelstram, who succeeded the murdered Consul, Rosto- kovskl.lhud been shot near Monastir. Italy May Send a Squadron. ROME, Aug. 18.—It is rumored that an Italian squadron has been ordered to con- centrate in Sicillan waters in readiness to sail for the Turklsh coast. l S RECEPTION AT WOMAN'S RE- LIEF CORPS HEADQUAR- TERS, LEADING OFFICERS. fNSURGENTS VILL BATTLE —— Continued From Page 1, Column 1. of the foreign embassies in Constantino- ple, no less than 800 Mussulmans have been massacred throughout the district of Monastir by the Insurgents, whose movements continue to gain ground. En- mer Rushdl Pasha, who is nominally in command of the Turkish troops operat- ing in the Monastir district, is serfously hampered in his efforts to suppress the insurrection by the fact that the instruc- tions he receives from here are constant- ly changing, and that when a move is undertaken a counter order from the pal- ace alters the whole situation. The Tur- kish commissariat department is in a wretched condition. The troops at Mon- astir, for instance, have not been served with rations of meat for six weeks. The insurgent bands in the vilayet of Adrianople are active. One band recently captured a detachment of sixty Turkish soldiers nedr Haskoi, close to the Bul- garian frontler. Twenty-four battalions of reserves in the vilavet of Anatolia have been sum- moned to the colors. The repeated attacks made by the in- surgents on the railroads and the inade- quate protection afforded by the Turkish authorities have compelled the raflroad officials to order, Inf spite of the protests of the military comimanders, a suspension of traffic on the Salonica, Monastir and Uskub lines. Dispatches received here from Belgrade, Servia, say that the Turkish Minister there has secured the detention of a quan- tity of arms and ammunition destined for Bulgarla.. The forwarder of the war mu- nitions was sentenced to pay a fine of $4000 for the illegal exportation of muni- tions of war. e Turkish Officials Expect War.

Hall, national president of the soclety of Women of the Grand Army, spoke at great length and told of her love for the flag and for the men who de- fended it. In part she said: 1 am proud to be with you to-night. I am | 5o grateful that we have had the opportunity to be here in this State, which Is noted for gold.

As a Lady of the Grand Army I am glad of this opportunity to speak to you. It is indeed a pleasure. I would rather address a convention of Grand Army men than appear before the crowned heads of Europe. I bellieve the wives and daughters of the veterans the (Applause.)

War with Bulgaria was belleved to be Immi- nent and the military men were impa- tiently awaiting the opening of hostilities to end the suspense, which was taxing the patience and discipline of the troops to the utmost. ——————— BULGARIAN ARMY MOBILIZED. Seventy Thousand Troops Under Arms in the Principality. ROME, Aug. 18.—Private advices from the Balkan peninsula received here state that Bulgaria has practically mobilized an army, as the troops under arms in the principality now amount to more than 70,000. The Bulgarian Government is un- willing to venture for the time being on any hostile movement against Turkey, as it ‘does not-wish to lose the support of Russia. It hopes that public opinion in Russia will force the Government to help Bulgaria against Turkey and the dispatch of a Russlan squadron to Turkish waters encourages the Bulgarians in this view. are royalty of America.

AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 18.—A private dis- patch was recelved here to-day from Chi- huahua, Mexico, stating that Pedro Al- varado, thé multi-miilionaire mining man | of Parral, that State, died there yester- | day. He was sick but a short time. He | is survived by a wife and several chil- | dren, who, it is supposed will inherit his fortune, estimated at seventy millions of dollars. All of this vast fortune was made within the past six years out of the Palmillo mine. The phenomenal richness of the Pal- millo mine has attracted the attention of! the entire mining world. This mine was discovered about four years ago by Alvarado, then a Mexican peon, employed as a workman in a mine at 30 cents a day. The American Smelting and Refining Company, through its Mexican branch, the Guggenheim Exploration Company, recently made an unsuccessful effort to open negotiations with Alvarado to pur- chase his mine. The agent of the great mining corporation approached Alvarado with a proposition that its mining ex- pert, John Hays Hammond, be permitted to inspect the mine. “Why should he inspect t?” said Al- varado. “John Hays Hammond is the greatest expert in the world,” sald the agent, “‘and he can tell all about it.” “I know all about it,” said Alvarado. “I go through it every day.” “But this Is a great companv. We | want to make you an offer on the mine | if you will permit our expert to examine it “I don’t want to sell the property and, | furtherfore, no experts are permitted to | enter my- mine. I have arméd guards | there to keep them out.” Finding it impossible to get an expert into the mine to examine it the agent of the company asked Alvarado to set a price for his mine and the company would pay him cash down. To this proposition Alvarado replied: “Let the Guggenheims name a price for all their interests in Mexico and if I find that it is reasonable, after they are ex- amined by my men, I will buy them. am buying mines, not selling.” Alvarado had nearly 1000 burros carry- ing bullion from his mine to the railroad. How much has been taken out of it no one knows—possibly not even Pedro Al- varado. At the works of the Palmillo mine he has a steel cage in which are bars of gold and silver to the estimated value of $60,000,000. Alvarado recently offered to pay the public debt of Mexico as a donation to the Government. His offer was rejected by Minister of Finance Limantour. He lived ina palace, which he receutly com- pleted near Parral, and when he visited the town he wasd always accompanied by an armed bodyguard of twenty-five men. —_—————————— Militiamen Fight Sham Battle.

AN ARTISTG 6.\, WiNDO In Welcome to the Grand Old Men of '6I-'65. The G. A. R. display in the window of the Wiley B. Allen Ce¢ the well known piano dealers, 931-933 Market street, has proved one of the strongest attractions on Market street for the past few ddys. There is always a large and enthu- siastic crowd of visitors and residents standing before this window, admiring the singular beauty and heroic signifi- cance of the display. In the center stands a hero of 61 shaking hands with a hero of the Span- |ish-American war. Just behind them is the typical figure of Columbia be- stowing upon them both her blessings. | In each corner of the window stands a | soldier with gun in hand, ready fof in- | stant service. The display well arranged and evinces the skill of the designer to ap- preciate artistic values and at once ap- peals to the patriotic sentiments of the American heart. The Wiley B. Allen Co. deserve praise for furnishing so appropriate a display tending toward the enlargement of the entertaining features of our city while the G. A. R. veterans are in our midst.
