Hearsay, of the tloral parade committee, rode ta one of the few vehicles that were ornamented with natural tlowers. One of the mn?t elahorate fchf mos of decoration that marked th paracie was Fct-n in the lofty-seated Rolf brake in which rode President Mortimer Levering, Vice President Hush J. MrOowan, Governor an.l Mr?. Durl in and Mayor Charles A. l;.okwaltrr. Thi vehicle was a moving mass of yellow rhrys.i..themum. and pre-t-ented a most striking appearance. Secrttarv Hill! I Hackedorn and Messrs. YV. V. Morjran. R. II. Hunt and JI. S. Jewett. from Kansas City, rode in a two-seated tr.jp. richly ornamented with white ro. and drawn by a team of pure V. h'te niul". The iir- t rs of the Commercial Ciub Were Justly proud of their imposing tallyho. m;u?nirirf ntly cWk-d with pink roses and drawn by four handsome roan cobs. Hu?h J.

The Hoard of Trade directors fun.ishcd me of the mo.it striking novelties of the rarade. their vehicle beinK a ta'Iy-ho coveied with a jrofuion of fluffy pampas ra?3 that at a distance pave the effect of sheaves of wheat. THF: T. I A. DRAKH. A vehicle that drew expression of admiration from spectators was the two-seated liht brake of the Travelers' Protective Association, which was converted into a royal chariot of white and purple. The monogram of th association was cleverly worked out on each wheel of the vehicle with white and purple flowers. Attached to the brake were four blue roan cobs. .ich attended by an Ethiopian In Oriental costume. Ahead of the coach marched three dusky Individuals carrvim? the beautiful prize banner of the T. I. A., with Tiames of ollicers tmhlazoned on the back In letters of gold. The brake was occupied by the Mi.-sfs Mabel Kreelo. Maude Ussex. Kva Möhr and Mrs. Clark Day. liCbanon enjoyed the honor of furnishing the first band in the parade. The Lebanon City Hand made a distinctly favorable Impression by the neat uniforms of its members and the excellent music played. A delightful surprise was the appearance In the parade of the two celebrated hiijhdivlnK horses. Kin:r and Queen, that entertained crowds in l'airview and Rroad Hippie parks last summer, filling a return enK":f?emnt at each place. These animals are of flawless white in color, which contracted admirably with the yellow of their decorations. Around the n ck of each animal was huner a irnrlnn.l of whito ro Th nrps-

nee of this attractive feature In the parade was due to the enterprise of Mr. McGowan. who had thern brought here for this particular occasion. It being Impossible to pecure the horses for an engagement carnival week. One of the rlch"st and mot artistic of all the decorated vehicles was Vice President McGowan's yietoria. hidden beneath a wealth of splendid water lilies. In the body of the roomy vehicle sat Mr. McGowan's four children. The choice of water lilies for the adornment of this vehicle and their arrangement aboui the different part of the carriage was according to Ideas of Mrs. McGovan. 11. F. Ilekedorn's trap made a fine showing with its dazzling decorations of scarlet poppies, the flaming petals of which contrasted effectively with their hearts of deaf' black. In this vehicle rode Master H. 1. Ilackedorn, jr.. and little Miss Mary tsabelle Taylor. A decided novelty was. Louis G. D?schler's automobile, adorned richly with morandas, or "Rlack-eyed Susans." With Mr. I)esch!er were little Miss Dorothy Ieschler and her cuest?, the little Misses Gene Fletcher Collin and Josephine i'arrott. Mrs. M. O. Porter and Mrs. H. H. Plummer had a vehicle that presented a line effect of contrasted colors. This was a single-seated phaeton, with body covered with dark red roes. lordered with white. Miss Ruth Iliessenherz and her guest. Miss Helen Ingall, rode in a pony cart, cleverly decorated with blue, yellow and white tlowerai. A smart white pony drew the vehicle. , Mrs. S. M. Itichcreek's phaeton, driven by Miss Cora Rlchcreek. attracted attention by the unusual richness of its ornamentations, which consisted of elelicately-shaded American Remit y roses. MR. LIEIJER'S AUTOMOBILE. Albert Lieber's two-seated automobile was transformed into a floral car by- the lavish use of white and yellow roses. On the Fides of the vehicle were crescent de'n'" ini Miuaiu in luv utuuij VI VlU tli" eral deslcn. The occupants were Miss Bessie Strauss and Miss Cora Blodgett. Miss Josephine Mors looked a modem Flora as fhf sat in a pony cart oddly hut beautifully trimmed with white and green flowers. The novelty of the design was emphasized by tli jmr-jsol of white ami Kreen carried by Miss Morss. A rich effect in Fcarlet and white was afforded by the automobile occupied by Mrs. B. M.

rlched with Iris and rmdas artistically di?pised, was occupied by the Misses Iia Turrell. Pearl Calloway, IW rt Craycratt anfl Margie Husbands. The ilimcie band, wilh distinctive uniforrr.s. t.dded a t uh of variety and an abundance of caUhy melody to this division of the parade. To J. A. Rink belongs th credit for originating th. most unl'iue Idea that characterized tr. fioral pageant. This vjas a Japanese jinrikisha converted into a beautiful white swan of heroic size, drawn by a youth in costume of white duck. Above the arrowy plumage of the swan's bdy rose the pretty faces of Mr. Rlnk'H two little girls. A dainty pony cart buried beneath a mafs of delicate pink ns s was occupied by Mrs. Harry Kuhlman ami Miss Nellie Reidy. The children along th line of march fairly squealed with deli'-'ht when they caught sight of the tiny Allison pony cart that was a veritable dream of pink f.oral beauty, drawn by a black, shaggy Newfoundland dog. "That's a sure enough dog cart." cried the Juveniles as the diminu

tive? vehicle rolled past at a smart cup. In the little cart sat little Miss Allison, holding fast to a pretty pink parasol. THE QUEEN'S FLOAT. Scarcely had the excitement occasioned by the Allison vehicle subsided than the spectators were thrown Into an uproar of ecstasy by the magnificent queen's float. This design wa? of exceptional lze and consisted of a bank of white roses resting on a white base, from which rose majestically a royal canopy of white. Beneath this Fat the floral queen, little Miss Edith Winifred Hearey, surrounded by her attendants, all dressed in costumes of airy white delicately touched with colors. Mrs. Everett Wagner and Miss Pearl Williams occupied a phaeton that presented a st.ikingly rich appearance with its decorative scheme of yellow roses. Mrs. L. S. Ayres emlched the pgeanc with a runabout that was a gorneou.s musi of crimson poppies, tastefully disposed. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Koehring and two children ?at In an automobile amid a bower of American Beauties, backed with Southern srnilax. Fred I. Willis and wife had their automobile richly adorned with yellow roses, wisely deciding with many other participants in the parade that one of the strongest color effects is afforded by Moral yellow. The golf trap that looked a moving bower of natural flowers of many varities, occupied by Mrs. John Bertermann and Miss Irma Bertermann, evoked spontaneous exclamations of delight from spectators all along the line of march. Carl Fisher's automobile was scarcely recognizable hidden as it was beneath a profusion of deep red and pink roses arranged in attractive designs. In the vehicle were Mr. Frank Moore and Miss Stella Smith. The Columbus band followed tho Fisher vehicle. Chief Hale and Chief Barrett, of the Kansas City and Indianapolis fire departments, riding In Mr. Barrett's wagonette transformed with pink roses, were the cynosures of all eyes. The second of the duo of floats provided for the tloral parade was designated "The Basket of Peaches." and spectators Invariably caught Its meaning, although the cpltnd!d vehicle was not labeled. In the midst of a thick bank of yellow roes on a background of white stood a huge basket ornamented with deep red roses, and the "peaches" were twenty comely High School girls. The young women wore bonnets of a delicate: shade of yellow that harmonized admirably with the other colors used In the float. A SMALL CART. The juveniles In the crowds on the sidewalks again tested their lungs when Master Charles Boss and Master Alfred Minter trotted briskly by, seated in a diminutive cart that was not more than two feet and a half In height. The cart was beautifully decorated with pink and white roses, but the children had eyes only for the tiny goat that drew the vehicle, protesting ail the while with comical bleats that were echoed and re-echoed a thousand times from the sidewalks. Master Vos carried a small cornet, on which he played popular melodies of the day. The Flanner t Buchanan landau, which was shown mar the cnu of the parade, was one of tlie most magnificent tieigns exhibited. Its decorative scheme consisted cnieiiy of white roses, but an air of remarkable richness was udued by the artistic marKins of black thtt outlined the entire vehicle. The horses were decorated to harmonize with the color scheme of the landau. In the vehicle rode the Misses Darnell and Martin and the Misses Mabel and Maud Flanner. while on the diivt-r s seat were Mrs. While and little Jennie Flanner. Ferd Mayer's trap, covered with deep red roses, presented a pretty contrast to the other vehicles in the parade. Tho trap was occupied by Masters John Lirauy, Fred Fold. Kd Urady and O.-car Ft id. Ma?ter Clinton önyiKr's tiny goat cart, tastefully decorated with red roses, and drawn by a frisky, bleating jioat. created enthusiasm and boundless amusement. The last pf the vehicles was a two-seated phaeton, covered with white roses, trimmed with red, occupied by Catherine and Marge rie Itanser and Mary Allen, pretty little maiden, attractively costumed. The splenciid pageant was strikingly set off by a rear-guard made up of dashing equestrians and equestriennes, including Dr. and Mrs. Buchanan, Mrs. Krnest Dawson, Miss Genevkve Campbell, Miss Neighbor. Mrs. Robinson. Frank Sherrer and Wilbur Mcintosh. The large number of children along the line of march was accounted for by the fact that the public schoo!s of the city dismissed pupils at noon on account of the lloral parade. n.i?n. itossv coxenms.

This afternoon a varied programme will be given. Two concerts to-morrow will close the series. The audiences continue large and enthusiastic.

Carnival visitors from all parts of the State are evincing almost as much Interest In the Capitol as in the Midway near by. All day yesterday a continuous stream of visitors shuffled through th corridors, peered with curiosity tinged with awe into the Imposing offices where State greatness holds forth. Inspected the museum, and munched cukes and apples where convenient teats wero to be had. Governor Durbin, returning from the parade, ran the gauntlet of hundreds of pairs of eager eyes and heard the? audible murmurs from hundreds of throats. The visitors to the building numbered thousands; and until the doors weie closed, they continued to come. To the ubiquitous small boy, repulsed at the Midway entrances by unsympathetic ticket takers, the grounds of the Statehouse were Elyslan fields. Dozens of foxy lads slipped through the windows in the corridor near the attorney general's office to the ground, made their way innocenliy to the vulnerable back fences of the Midway shows and stealthily climbed to Joy. But the stern hand of the lav finally grtpp"d them, for Assistant Attorney General Merrill Moores, catching sight of the small free lances, arrested the flow 'rom the window and In awesome tones represented to thf little fellows th fearful consequences of acts so evil and depraw-d u beating the hardworking showman. About tho only

effect the well-meant warning had was to divert the youngsters from that window to one nearly as close to the fences.

A few of the sights of the Midway were visible from the high steps of the Capitol, ! which were crowded all afternoon by those j v.r.o. either from choice or lacK of the price, ciid not enter the Midway. INMATKS OF INSTITUTIONS. They Will lit? Admitted Free To-Day "Wronc Imprcsnion Corrected. The carnival committee evolved a pleasing Idea yesterday, which was to extend a cordial invitation to teachers and Inmates of tho various eleemosynary institutions of Indianapolis to attend the performances in the "Beautiful Orient" this morning. At 8:20 the gates of the Midway will be thrown wide to admit, free of charge, all such persons, who will be provided with badges printed especially for use on this clay. ThA committee having in charge the horse show, which is to be the big event tomorrow, announced last night that there has been a great accession of entries in all ! of the twenty departments since Monday, and that when the show opens to-morrow efterr.oon at 1:J o'clock the visitors will i be both surprised and delighted with tho , exhibition. Tha horses will be "put through their paces" en Senate avenue, where there , Is plenty of room for spectators. The roadsters will be given a short run along , the street In order to convince the skeptical that they can make a mile In something uder live minutes. Carriage animals will be Judged according to physical points, to , which will be added points of the vehicles to which they are attached. The carnival committee is annoyed that a popular impression has sprung up that Chief Hale and his doughty fire fighters give their exhibitions at 3 and 9 p. m. each day. The Hale exhibitions come off promptly at 4:13 and 10 p. m. each day. Professor Granada and his wif. do their high-wire specialty at U:30 and d p. rn. The electrical ' fountain eiazz'.es and pleases beholders at and 11 o'clock each evening. mc;iit o.v Tin: midway. ShoiT .tlniINioiis Inereaned PnsMCM Not Honored. nnd Tho biggest crowd of the week was on the Midway last night. Those who had been there other evenings thought they had been squeezed, but their former experiences were nothing compared to the pressure last night. By 8 o'clock there was a jam from Capitol to Senate avenues on Ohio street. The "barkers" for the sideshows looked down with smliing faces upon the dense sea of people and cried louder anl louder as the sightseers increased in numbers. Tho shows "ballyhoed" until the tents were crowded to the entrance way before beginning the performances. Then tho performances, In many Instances, were cut hort to accommodate a crowd on the outside that wan ever eager to get on the inside. The show people themselves seemed almost astounded at the rush to see their performances. The crowds continued to swell until after 0 o'clock, and nobody left the long Inclosure. The crowd gradually worked Its way into Capitol avenue, where the exhibition of Captain Hale's fire lighters was to take place. The exhibition was given at V) o'clock, but long before that hour the avenue from Washington to Ohio streets was packed. Before the run to the fire the liremen gave an extra exhibition of ladder climbing, life rescuing and other daring feats. They then gave an exhibition with their horses. The animals, with almoft human Intelligence, elid various maneuvers, guided by the sound of the buprle. After this the firemen made a run to the burning building and went through the usual performance. Notwithstanding the fact that the carnival committee printed uniform 10-cent tickets for all of the shows on the Midway, some increased their prices last night to 13 cents, one show announcing- on a placard. "lkcause we need the money." Some of the shows also refused to honor passes issued by the carnival committee, which say on either side that they are good for "all entertainments." No explanation was given for these advances in prices and refusal to honor passes other than that they needed the money and that the crowd was so large they hael to charge more. A Speclnl Performance. Chief Hale announced last night that his I group of Kansas City fire fighters will eive a special performance oh the midway (Senate avenue) at 10:30 o'clock this morning tor the inmates of local institutions, who are to he the guests of the carnival committee. Tickets will be sold to the general public as usual. Illg Crowd at Xevh Ovnl. A large crowd went to Xewby Oval last night to poe the ' Last Days of Pompeii," and tho spectacle was hugely enjoyed. Everything worked smoothly, and the audience was liberal with its approval. Tonight Mayor LJookwalter will be represented as a figure of fire. Out-of-Town Visitors. Among the large out-of-town parties that came to Indianapolis to see the floral parade and enjoy the carnival entertainments yesterday were three hundred people from Frankfort, one hundred from Tipton and sixty from Covington, Ind. NOTES PPwOH GOLDLAND. rrospectors Possibly Drowned Rush for Arctic ReKlons. PORT TOWNSEND. Oct. 17.-The steamer St. Paul has arrived from Nome with m passengers and $1,500,000 in gold.

The closing day's session of the American Bankers' Association's convention was devottd to the continuation of a discussion of practical banking methods. After a prayer by the Rev. J. Beveridge Lee, of Milwaukee, President Trowbridge introduced P. C. Kauffman, of Tacoma. Wash., who spo'.se on "The Financial and Commercial Future of the Pacific Coast." Walter D. Coles, of St. Louis, was the next speaker. His subject was "The Bankruptcy Law." James II. Eckels, of Chicago, former controller of the currency, was next Introduced to the convention. He spoke on "Assets Currency." lie said he had read the papers delivered by A. B. Stickney and Secretary Gage yesterday. Both weic thoughtful in suggestion and may well be considered by the association. He agreed with Secretary Gage that -the financial system had not reached that point of development where a people of so much progress, so much energy and force as the people of the United States have a right to expect that it should. He would like to see legal tenders of the government retired as there is always a possibility of their reissue In a form that will be detrimental to the country. He would like to see the abolishment of the subtreasury of the country. It stands as a menace to the trade and commerce of the country because it locks up the money. The subtreasury should be conducted as Is the business of a private Individual or large corporation. He would restrict revenue where the credit of the country could be maintained. He believed In great banks and a branch system of banks. We have an administration that commands the confidence of the people and admiration of the world and there Is no reason why we might not well discuss with frankness every public question. At the conclusion of Mr. Eckles's speech he was vociferously applauded and thanked by the convention by a rising vote. The list of officers as reported by the nominations committee were elected as follows: President, Myron T. Herrick, of Cleveland: vice president.

The next witness was James A. Hand, also an ensign who had served on the Brooklyn as a naval cadet. He told of the delay of the progress of the lleet between Cieni'uegos and Santiago, saying it was due to the Alerrimae, the Eagle and the Vixen. He also said the weather was roujjh.

On the day of the battle of Santiago he had had charge of some of the after live-inch guns. His closest range was 1,100 yards. The orderlies had passed the range of 900 yards to him, but he had not used that range, later In the engagement the range had been 2.400 to 2.500 yards, which, while firing on the VIscaya. had been extended to 2.Six) or 2,m yards. He said that Just before going ashore the Vlscaya starboarded her helm and headed for the Brooklyn, then ported her helm and went ashore. Mr. Marble related a conversation he had heard between Captain Sigsbee and Commodore Schky when tne former came aboard the Brooklyn May 25 off Santiago. The commodore had asked the captain, the witness said, "Have we got them?" To this inquiry Captain Sigsbee replied: "No; they are not here. I have been here for about a week. They could not have been here unless I knew it." On cross-examination the witness said he had satisfied himself of the date of the conversation by referring to the Brooklvn's log. He was not more than seven or eight feet from the two oftieers at the time, and he thought he had given their exact words. The court asked Ensign Marble: "Did any Spanish ships show a disposition to ram the Brooklyn at the beginning of the engagement of July 0?" "Yes. sir. One of the ships did not turn as soon as the others, and headed to the westward." IT TZSI M MONS'S TESTIMON Y. After further questioning Ensign Marble was excused and Medical Director Taul Fitzslmmons, who was chief surgeon of the flying squadron, was called. Dr. Fitzsimmons gave an account of the battle of July 3 from his standpoint. He had observed the engagement from the gun deck of the Brooklyn. He said that when the first of the Spanish ships came out of the harbor at Santiago it appeared to stand still, and he had been able to see the entire vessel. He then saw no more of the Spanish ships until the Brooklyn had completed her turn, when all the enemy's vessels became visible. He had then looked back, and had b'"en able to see only one of the American ships. "I remember that incident very distinctly." said Dr. Fitzslmmons. "because it teemed to me that we were lighting all the Spanish ships alone." He had. he said, heard the range given several times, and the lowest was 7i) yards, while the highest tiure he heard was 3.f"0 yards. The Colon, he said, had followed the course of the shore in her westward flight, nnd the witness thought that before the Visen yu gae

BUILDING up she had attempted to shield her sister Ship. Dr. Fltzsimmons. in reply to a Question from Mr. Rayner, said that he had not seen Commodore Schley during the engagement, but that he had met him about 1:30 o'clock, soon after its close. Asked by Mr. Hayner what the commodore's appearance was at that time the witness replied: "He was hardly able to talk., and complained of an irritation of his throat from the effects of the smoke. He appeared to be exultant over the victory. He was mo choked with smoke he could hardly make himself understood." Tak ns the witness for cross-examination, Mr. llanna asued: "Have you anything in your knowledge relating to any conversation with the commodore or anything else?" "1 can only say this," was the reply, "unless you ask me specific questions, that I do not know anything to the commodore's discredit. I think the Brooklyn kept the Colon from pttrlng away." "Was the Oregon threr "Yes; 1 made her out. She kept her position until about the end of the run." Dr. Fitzsirr.mons was then excused and the court adjourned for the day. The Texan Slighted. OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 17. Rear Admiral Itobley D. Evans passed through the city to-day on his way to the Samoan islands. In reply to a reporter as to whether Schley would be exonerated, he said: "He has never been condemned In the eyes of the public, so far as my observation goes. Just what the outcome of the trial will be I cannot say. It is very gratifying to the public, however, to know that Admiral Dewey is on that board of investigation." Admiral Evans thought the Texas battleship is not receiving the notice and consideration it deserves In that investigation. "That the Texas played a very important nnd telling part in the sinking of Cervera's fleet there is no gainsaying. I was there, and I ought to know." LITTLE GIRL'S STORY.
