LAND PARADE GREATCLIMAX
Admiral Dewey Reviews a Great Host of
Patriots at New York.
FIFTY THOUSAND IN LINE
Event Unparalleled and Wonder
of Modern Times.
Schley Divides Honors With the
Hero of Manila.
The land parade in New York Sat¬
urday in honor of Dewey capped the
climax. The city, state and nation
united in one vast demonstration wor-
thy of the hero of Manila. Fifty
thousand men were in line and the air
was torn with the shouts of millions.
The naval parade of Friday was a mag¬
nificent and superb spectacle, bu 1, the
wonder of modern times was the great
land parade which occurred Saturday.
Thousands of brave men of our
land and sea forces, militia of fifteen
states and the veterans of the civil
and Spanish-Americau wars swelled
the procession and gave it the dignity
in size that it boasted in sentiment.
Mails of people, miles long, stretched
dov.n the line of march on either side,
a dense, impregnable mass. lifth

Along Broadway whore it crossed
the avenue the skyscrapers were as
crowded at the top as at the bottom,
and for blocks down the intersecting
streets tenants hung from the win-
dows and fire escapes, and multitudes
of them were on the roofs lying flat on
their stomachs peering down. For
hours they waited patiently and good
uaturedly to see Dewey, and when
they saw him they waited on uncon-
soiously for three hours and a half
while the whole procession passed.

He received a demonstration second
only to that of Dewey. People all
along the line fairly arose at sight of
him, shouting their already lacerated
throats to the breaking point.
“Hurrah for the hero of Santiago.”
“There is the man that smashed
Cervera’s fleet.”
“Hip, hip, hurrah for Schley,” and
kindred cries came from all parts of
the line.
In upper Fifth avenue some enthsi-
astic lady threw him a handful of
roses. They landed fairly in the car¬
riage. The admiral leaned forward,
picked them up and lifted them to his
lips. Instantly all the ladies in the
balcony seemed possessed with the
desire to have their flowers similarly
honored and he was fairly bombarded.
Many of the flowers fell into the
street, only to be caught up by eager
spectators and carried to the carriage.

SENSATION IN CAROLINA.
Serious Charges Against Member or r»i-
metto State Dispensary Hoard.
A special from Columbia, S.C., says:
A bomb could not have caused more
of a sensation, bad it dropped in the
dispensary board of control meeting
lues lay, than did the report of the
special committee of that board ap¬
pointed a morftli ago to investigate the
management of the institution, which
is under the direct charge of Commis¬
sioner J. B. Donthit. Mr. Donthit
was elected by the legislature to be a
member of the state board of control
and was then elected state liquor com¬
missioner.
Ten days ago tho chairman of the
board, on verbal reports made to him
by the investigating committee, re-
moved Bookkeeper Ontse. At Tues¬
day's meeting the board did not hesi¬
tate five minutes iu removing Commis¬
sioner Douthit. The commissioner
was found short $1,155 in the contra¬
band department—tbat is goods to
that amount have been disposed of by
him on his account. But the sensa¬
tional feature is what the committee
describes as the perpetration of “a
fraud on the people of South Carolina. ”
By order of the commissioner, whisky
of the common “one X” brand was
bottled off by the thousand of gallons
and labeled “three X” and “four X,”
the charges on the consumer being
correspondingly increased. Also case
goods of the manufacture of one house
and inferior, were labeled with the
name and guarantee of another firm
of national reputation. This was done
in the case of several firms that sup¬
plied “case goods” to the dispensary,
the dispensary doing the bottling.

Cause Panic In Orleans Cotton
Exchange.

Sharper. Work the Cotton Market In
Unique Manner—Many Cities
Are Caught.
The wildest panic ever witnessed
on the floor of the New Orleans cot-
ton exchange occurred Friday shortly
after business opened, and caused, in
the midst of intense excitement, the
complete suspension of business
pending tho investigation of what, at
the moment, was assumed to be a
gigantic conspiracy to swindle the
cotton exchanges of the country.
The panic was due to an apparent
terrific jump in the price of cotton
based on alleged Liverpool advices,
and it was estimated that, roughly,
$170,000 had been lost on local trans¬
actions as a result.
Later in the day the exchange, after
receiving legal advice, declared null
and void all future transactions of the
day. This action, however, promises
to be bitterly contested, and a nest of
litigation is likely to be the final our-
come.
