Currency legislation, the Pan- ama canal situation, the work of the ex- traordinary session of Congress and Fed- | eral appointments were among the topics under consideration. Senator Kearns of Utah talked with the President about the probable date of the extraordinary session of Congress, urging him not to call it until after the October eélections. Later in the day the President received a call from John A. Schleicher, editor of Leslie’s Weekly and H. H. Kohlsaat 0f Chicago.

J SAN JOSE, Aug. 19.—There was a big | row at the meeting of the directors of | the Hotel Vendome to-day and so fierce | did the argument become that a police officer was summoned, and for several hours he sat at the door, walting to be | called. Gus Lion, one of the directors, objected to the dividend which was r cently declared and wanted a statement of the hotel's business. He contended | that the hotel debts should be paid be- | fore a dividend. This precipitated the | trouble. L. Lion, a well known banker of this rity and father of Gus Lion, sidgd with his son at the election of directors. Later Gus Lion was unseated as a director and J. H. Hendry elected in his place. L. Lion denounced the directors in strong terms and threatened to throw them all out of the ropm, Then it was that President Rucker went for the police. Finally a recess was taken in order to quiet things. L. Lion declared he would oust President Rucker and Manager Snell from their positions. All the old board of directors and offi- | cers were re-elected with the exception The Lions are the leading finan- clers of San Jose and to-day’s quarrel in the hotel directorate may shortly be fol- lowed by some changes. —_——— Officers Given 2,ppointments. | MANILA, Aug. 15.—The Philippine com. mission has appointed Captain George T.

Commander Edward Walton led the Ohio delegation. There were nearly 30 !vn in Utne. First came the members of | rooklyn / Post No. with 53 men in| | line, and’ commanded by G. G. Buriin-} game. An immense buc e (‘flrrhd.hy‘ one of the'standard bearers told what ! State was on the march. The Third Ar- tillery band of the Presid under the leadership of Armand Putz, discoursed | patriotic music. The bandsmen c..pture‘d? the prize for marching at d:-j notable | competition held in Salt Lake City a few | years ago and the crowds easily distin-| guished them to be regu the man- | ner in which they stepped out. l - Memorial Post was headed by a pretty | little girl who rode a horse. On the back | | of the maiden was =z shleld, containing | !a splenatd picture of the late President | McKinley and surrounding the likeness | were medals and other trophies hPlnnglng‘ to her father. The members of the Me- | morial Post carried red, white and blue banners, and as they marched they sang | “Jobn Brown's Bods Mayor Warren | iney of Oakland marched with this post | land ‘he was recognized by many during| the march. Brooklyn Post, Addison Post, | Trescott Post No. 10 and Walcott Posat | | had many representatives in line and| | they made a creditable showing. i | As the veterans passed under the arches | they raised their hats and remained un- | covered until they had cleared the struc- tures. One member of the executive com- mittee sald: *That certainly repays us| for all the trouble we took in building | the triumphal arches.” PATRIOTIC OLD LADY. At the right of the first arch stood an | old lady. She leaned against the wire and won the hearts of every one near | her by her kindly nature. Even the big | blue-coated policeman exchanged chaff | | with her and made her comfortable. The | old lady held a silken flag and as the brave boys of 1861 passed her, she re-| membered that her husband was one of | them and that her brothers had fought | | under Old Glory and she waved the flag | dnd smiled with happiness. Her cheeks were stained with tears, but she did not | mind that people were looking at -her. | All she wanted to do was to have a chance to express her feelings for the old | | soldiers. They in return gazed at her ;silvery hailr and her sweet face and| raised their hats to her in salute. Jerry Struntz, a veteran who hails from Pasadena, member of the New York a | regiment, walted in a wheel chair to ac- company his comrades. Just as he was : being wheeled into line, the rubber tire on his front wheel became dislodged and for a few minutes it looked as if Struntz would_ be unable to appear in the parade. A bicycle expert in the crowd repaired the wheel in quick time _and happy | Struntz was wheeled along by his com- | rades. He was showered with bouquets |and he generously turned them over to ! his comrades. | (M. W. Cartwright, Chief of Police of | New York, was mounted on Chief Witt- man’s splendid horse, which the latter loaned to the visitor. Chief Cartwright keenly watched the manner in which the local police handled the crowd and was generous in his praise of the department. John 8. Coster was in charge of the big representation from the Empire State. At the head of the Connecticut contin- gent was a standard bearer who carried & huge nutmeg. Behind him came a big | delegation. Many of the veterans carried flowers which were presented to them during the march by members of New England societles who reside here. The advance guard of the Department of Rhode Island were attired in white duck =nd made a striking appearance. kThe Vermonters looked striking in their | evergreen adornments. There were many in jine and the men from the maple su- gar State were loudly cheered. Seven veterans carried letters which when read in a line spelled out the name of their State. . | Probably the most striking incident of the entire procession was the appearance of two veterans from Virginia and North | Carolina, two States that seceded in 1861. These lone representatives of the Union cause marched arm in arm “and were heartily cheered. AN OLD CAMPAIGNER. One veteran in the Nebraska contin- gent vroved himself an old campaigner. He carried a campstool under his arm and everr t'me the long column came to a halt he would give the signal to pause and with dignity he would unfold his campstool and seat himself. He look- ed so comfortable while seated under the triumphal arch that one of his comrades | fanned him. This action caused the spec- tators to laugh. Another veteran, finding his shoes too tight, removed them and | slung them over his broom and marched through the streets in his stocking feet. This navel sight caused many smiles, but the visitor from the pine woods of Michi- gan_took no heed of the good natured chaffing he received. A number of vet- erans were forced to leave the ranks at the safety station by reason of their fee- bleness. They occupled the stone seats and watched thelr comrades pass, ex- changing comments and applauding the marchers. The Iowa representatfves marched 32 strong. Every veteran carried a sheaf of wheat and as they moved along the street they kept step with their cry: Hurrah, hurra, Corn ‘and hay, We are the men from I—0—W—A. Whenever the volumn was delayed Thomas Fireside, one of the veterans, en- tertained the spectators by singing “Yan- kee ®oodle” with verses »f his own make, Cook’s Denver band.and drum corps created a fine Impression by their play- ing and marching. These young men headed the Department of Colorado and played all the way. On Market street they played “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” and as the drummers and bandsmen kept perfect time they formed Into a cross and moved up the thoroughfare. The Colorado representatives sang ‘‘Marching Through Georgia.” Behind them came the Kansas veterans. The leader, A, W, Smith, wore an immense sunflower on his breast and every man In the delegation Wore a sunflower in the lapel of his coat. They sang “John Brown's Body” as they marched. The Minnesota contingent wore sheafs of wheat in their hats and car- ried loaves of bread on poles. Ransom Post of Missouri made a fine appearance in thelr blue uniforms and white spats. | JALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20 : A GREAT “BRYSON.” Y IN BLACK Or Queen of the Party.

HORICHOCH CHOTDRHONY 1HCORORCY KROIANONCE RO LA CHCRCHO: Of the thirteen veterans who represented the Department of West Virginia two of them were minus arms. The United States Marine Band led the veterans from South Dakota. The latter carried corn on sticks and marched lke a lot 3f young men, APPEAL FOR STATEHOOD. A dozen comrades from Oklahoma were in the parade. The standard bearer car- ried aloft a big sign which read, Ok- lahoma Wants Statehood.” A number of wives of the Texas vet- erans marched with their husbands. A handsome bpair of horns bore aloft de- noted the Lone Star State. As the dele- gation passed City Hall avenue a litle woman rushed out, yelling, “There he is!"” Despite the efforts of the noliceman to stop her, the eager littie woman ran for- ward and threw her arms around the neck cf a big Texan and in a moment the woman wés laughing and sobbing on her brother's shoulder. She had not seen him in years and her joy at their first meeting caused many to smile and others to, weep in sympathy. It was only one of the many incidents of the day. The League of the Cross Drum and Fife Corps headed the North Dakota veterans. Each man carried wheat stalks and they were led by a man garbed in the colors and costume of Uncle Sam. General Shafter led the Department.of California and Nevada. As the distin- ished soldler rode along he was con- inually engaged bowing to crowds who showered plaudits upon him. His recep- tion along the line was a veritable ova- tion and attested to his great popularity. The members of Lincoln Post carried Springfields and marched as in the days of '61. The Oakland contingent was head- ed by the boys’ band of the Masonic Home. These younsters discoursed good music. The little drummer was hardly as big as the drum he carried. POLICE HONOR CRONIN. As John Cronin, veteran of the Police Department, passed the triumphal arch, Sergeant Wright stepped out and handed him a handsome bouquet. The old veter- an was touched at this expression of good feeling and wiped his tears away. Herman Isaacs, a veteran conflned at the German Hospital, was anxious to take part in the parade, but his condition was such that he could not walk. He fretted so much that the dootors feared he might suffer a relapse. They humored the old soldier by having him placed in the am- bulancé and with windows open he watched the erowds and took part in the encampment parade. The sight of a youngster leading, the veterans of the war was novel, but whea that youngster carried a flag in one hand and a big slice of watermelon in the other it was even more so. ARMLESS VETERAN. Fifty-four members of Farragut Post, Vallejo, were in line. The cynosure of all eyes, however, was Richard Dunphy, the only armless man now recelving a pension from the Government., H. D. Richardson and Charles Green, at ape time champion broadswordsman of thel| army, held up his sleeves In order to show that the veteran had lost both arms while serving the Government, While serving on the Hartford, Farragut's flagship, he was struck by & shell fired ffom the ram Tennessee. The shell took off both his arms and plowed a furrow in his chest. Upon recovering he returned home and the girl who had promised to be his wife before he enlisted kept her promise and they were married. Ten children are the result of this union. Two of his boys served in the navy during the Spanish- American war and both were wounded.
