Los Angeles, Cal., May 9 From a broad blue canopied .pavilion, sur rounded by members of his cabinet, the Governor of Ohio and notables from many States, President McKin ley today reviewed the floral parade of the Los Angeles carnival. The city was packed. The population of Los Angeles, acording to the census, is morethan 100,000, but the streets must have held almost twice as many to day. Pasadena, Santa Monica and other neighboring towns in southern California were literally depopulate. The scene on broadway, where the re viewing stand was located, . resembled Pennsylvania7 Avenue In? Washington on the day of an inaugural parade. Every facade flamed with bunting, flags and pampas grass plumes, red, green and orange, the colors of the fiesta, prevailing. As each carriage reached the review ing stand the ladies in it rose, and .smilingly saluted the President with deep courtesies.The President was kept on his feet most of the time returning these greetings. He apparently enjoyed the experience hugely. Each lady car ried a bag of rose leaves for use as con fetti and after saluting the President, she threw a handful of soft petals into his box. Before the parade was over he was ankle deep in rose leaves. This afternoon the ladies of the Pres ident's party went to Pasadena and took a drive there, while the President made a trip to the National Soldiers' Home, near Santa Monica. It Is 18 miles distance and he made the jour ney in electric cars. Three thousand of the President's old comrades of the ci vil war greeted him there. The old soldiers gave the President a remark able demonstration. Mr. McKinley made an address. Los Angeles, May 10. During the visit of the Presidential party to the soldiers home much excitement was caused by the discovery that Secretary Wilson and uharles A. Moore had lost their pocket books. Moore a minute after he discovered his loss saw a man picking the pocket of other men In the crowd. A detective arrested the pick pocket. On his person was found the purses of Wilson and Moore, besides several other pocket-books well filled. It is' believed this thief has followed the Presidential party all the way from Washington.

Burned all His Papers and Fired a Ballet Through His Brain, but a Tailor's Mark Revealed His Identity. Seattle, Wash., May 8. A man, be lieved to be R. N. Pollock, the missing bank president from Cleveland, Ohio, ended his life here today in the Hotel York by sending a bullet through his brain. A razor, a two ounce box of rough on rats, and a phial containing 100 tablets of aconite were found at hand. All papers belonging to the man had been burned before committing the deed. Pollock arrived here Monday and re gistered as James Fisher. He failed to appear during the next day and . his room was finally broken into. Lying in a reclining position the body was found, and the coroner was called in. The deceased had not stirred after fir ing the fatal shot. No clew was ob tained in the room, but the name of R. N. Pollock was found sewed on the In side of his coat, placed there by a Cleveland, Ohio, tailor. Pollock appeared well dressed and had $30 in money in his pocket. He looked to have been thirty years of age, with a light complexion and wear ing asmall brown mustache. Cleveland, May 8. R. N. Poilock,who killed himself in Seattle today, was the President of the Cuyahoga Savings Bank and Building Company of this city. He was thirty-eight years of age, married, and had three children. He was the promoter of the bank which closed its doors Jast Monday. Pollock disappeared ten days ago and had not been definitely located until news of his act of self-destruction reached this city this evening. The condition of the bank is as yet a matter of conjuncture, its books be ing in the hands of a receiver, who is making an examination, and whose re port is expected in a day or two. The bank had dep'osits to the extent of ?340,000. This sum of money was not in the bank's possession at the time. Rumors of its weakness were feared, and to avoid the Inevitable outcome of possible immediate demand f Or such a large sum of money, the directors decided to suspend business, and a re ceiver was appointed. Other Cleveland bankers, it is said, would have gone to the assistance of the Cuyahoga Savings Bank if they had been asked. The bank was not prominent in the city's financial insti tutions, being located in the residence district, and Its depositors were small ones. The receiver of the bank stated tonight that Pollock did not take the money that was in the bank at the time of his leaving the city, and it is believed that, knowing that a crisis was near, he sought safety In flight. The United States Carbon Company which went into the hands of a receiv er on account of the failure of the bank, is said to be not seriously in volved, and it is expected to resume operations soon with increased facili ties. 1 The Deutschland Beats all Re cords.

HILL'S EARLY PROJECTS What Alex Mitchell Thought or . Him and His Proposed Rail road. Milwaukee Wisconsin. James J. Hill, the great railway and steamship magnate who is now so pro minently in the transportation world, was at one time a Mississippi river steamboat "runner", and as such was well known to one of the early day rail way men of Milwaukee. In view of the present position occupied by Mr. Hill, it is interesting to listen to stories of his labors as an agent for the steam boats which plied up and down the Mississippi, along in the 50's. About 1857 James J. Hill could be. seen daily about the docks at Dunleith, 111., drumming business for the boats bound for St. Paul, St. Louis and other river points at a time when these boats did the bulk of the business, because railroads were few. The old Chicago and Galena road, now a part of the Northwestern system, ran to Galena in those days and connected with the boats for St. Paul and different points, and young Hill, who had come down from Canada a short time before, was doing a good business as solicitor of passengers for these boats. He would get a commission on every passenger he secured for a particular line.He was there when the Milwaukee man, who is still here, met him, : ; Later he went to St. Paul, and there became Interested with the late Com modore Kitson, at that time secre tary of the Hudson Buy Fur Company,, and the two bought out a line, broke-en-down railroad which ran 30 miles northwest from St. Paul into the for ests. This road was the nucleus of the present Great Northern system. For some years Kitson and Hill operated it chiefly for hauling cord wood to St. Pauli, where te; sold the wood at a big advance. .... About this time Hill begah to dream l of a big railway system under one man agement to the Pacific Coast. He brought his well-laid plans (plans which have since been fully carried out by him) to Milwaukee and laid them before the late Alexander Mitch- cii, picoiuciit ui cue 1u11waun.ce sjraiciu. It was stated by a Milwaukeean who first met Hill on the Mississippi river t.-j. that the enterprising railway dreamer laid before Mr. Mitchell a general out Hrfe of the conditions as they actually ex&tCtoday in the operation and man agement of the Great Northern. He toftMr. Mitchell that if he would unite with him and get the financial back ing necessary they could build, equip, control and operate a line of railroad from St. Paul to the Pacific Coast, and that it would be a winner. He talked to the great power of the Milwaukee road for an hour or more, during which Mitchell said little' or nothing. He only listened to young Hill, and this is the answer the man from St. Paul received when he finally finished r "Jem, me boy you are a fool." That ended the negotiations with Mitchell. Hill evidently did not agree with the great magnate of the Milwau kee, for he kept pegging away and to day, as a result of his indomitable per severance, he is one of the greatest railway men of the country. nx-GrOYcrnor Taylor Will Re main in Indiana.
