1 J* ENCAMPMENT OFTHEG.A.B. I WATHERINO OF THE VETERANS AT INDIANAPOLIS. Annual Review of tbe National En campment- Col. J. P. Adams of Massachusetts Elected Coinmand- -er-in-ChiefReports Read. (Indianapolis, Sept. G.The stronghold *of Hoosierdoin has capitulated before the onslaught of the boys who wore the blue, aud with flying flags and keeping step to the same old strains that led them through valleys and over mountains three decades ago. The veterans marched like a victorious army up and down the prin cipal streets amid the plaudits of a multitude of enthusiastic spectators. The line of march was so arranged as to take in both fashionable residence quar ters -and the business district, starting from Seventh and Meridan streets, going south to New York, thence to Pennsyl vania, thence to Market, cast to New Jersey, south to Washington and west to Tennessee, a distance of between three and four miles. Maj. Gen. John R. Carnahan, who has gamed fame by his magnificent commandership in uni formed ranks, Knights of Pythias, was chief marshal of the day, and he was fiiurcvnded by experienced assistants in the persons of Gen. N. R. Ruckle, as chief of staff Eli F. Ritter, the prohibi tion advocate whose reputation is na ticual. At 10:30, the desigrated hour, the iiring of a fifty-pounder gave the sig nal that all was in readiness to move. The boys from Illinois, by virtue of seniority, had the honor of right of line following immediately after the chief marshal and his staff. Following the Ill inois division came the detachment from the Keystone State, and behind these a large and creditable representation of 1he veterans of Ohio. Connecticut was sandwiched in between New York and Massachusetts, and after the latter the departments followed each ether in this order: New Jersey, Maine, California, Rtodc Island, New Hampshire. Potomac, Virginia and North Caiclina in one de partment Maryland, Nebraska, Michi gan, Iowa. Colorado and Wyoming in another Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon, Kentucky, West Virginia, South T)akota, Washington and Alaska com bined. Arkansas, New Mexico, Utah, Tennessee, Louisiana and Mississippi in one department and Florida, Montana, Texas, Idaho, Arizona, Alabama, North Dakota. Indian Territory and Oklahoma. The rear of the column was brought up by the department of Indiana, which comprised nearly one-half of the entire number of veterans in line. The vets wore reviewed by Commander-in-Chief Weissevt. Ex-President Harrison btood on his light and Generals Lucius Fair child of Wisconsin and Lew Wallace, (both of whom marched in line until the stand was reached, on his left. Each vet saluted the commander-in-chief and the ex-president as they passed. Officers Elected. Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. 7. The of ficials and delegates of the national Grand Army encampment were regret fully compelled to allow pleasure to give way to business, and invitations to re unions and dinners and other social courtesies were pat aside for the moie serious matter of government of the order.

Tin* regulations by which only members ~oi the order are peimltted to be present as spectators wore rigidly euforced. It was not until nearly 11 o'clock, an hour after the appointed time, that the dele gate* appeared in sufficient numbeis to warrant Comman.lrr-iu-Ohief Woissertin declaring that the twenty-seventh annual encampment was formally opened. Ow uug to the delay oi several of the depart ments in submitting their reports the commander-in-chief had been unable to complete his annual address until within an hour of the opening of the proceedings, and it was therefore submitted to the en trapment in manuscript inctead of the usual pamphlet form. The report of Adjt. Gen. Gray showed that the order had gr.ined 50,308 members during th.* year and lost by death, discharge and suspeidon 59,025: the total membership in good standing is 397,223. Thirty-live thousrnd veteiaus weie suspended for various causes. "The death roll call ex ceeds that of any previous year. Seven thousand jn two comrades have joined the 'light wing' of the Grand Army of the Republic, which has gone into camp across the river." During the year the order has disbursed $397,000 in charity. The three following officers were elect ed, proctically without opposition: John J. G. Adams of Massachusetts, com ttander-m-chief Col. I. N. Walker of Indiana, senior vice commander, and C. Bigger of Texas, junior vice com mander. The new commander-in-chief John J. G. Adams, or "Jack" Adams as he is called at home, is one of the most popular veterans in New England. He has a record that any man may be sproud of. In 1861, before he was twen years of age, he enlisted as a private in the battalion which became the neu clus of the Nineteenth Massachusetts. He served throughout the war, rising step by step to the rank of captain. W hen not disabled by wounds he partici pated in every march and in every battle of the Army of the Potomac, in which his regiment took part. At Fjedericksburg he saved .the regimental colors from capture after eight color bearers had been shot down. He* was severely wounded in the second day's battle at Gettysburg, *md a second time before Pittsburg where he was captured and suffered the horrors of a southern prison. Not in frequently the old wounds take him to bed with pain for days at a time. He is .a member of Lander post at Lynn, Mass., the second in membership in the country. Nea.t Year in Pittslmr^.

It arraigns the present admin istration for its penurious activity in the line of cutting off the pensions of old soldiers and compelling them to produce evidence that their pitiful allowances were not secured by fraud, instead of placing the burden of proof on the numerous government officials, who are lavishly paid for their service in this direction. 3 The convention will meet next year in' Pittsburg.

That Measure a Fraud and Predict In Befeat for Gladstone at the Polls. New York, Sept. 11.Considerable dis satisfaction has been evinced by the leading members of the Irish National league in America as to the provisions of Gladstone's home rule bill, which was re jected on Friday by the house of lords by the immense majority of 419 to 41. The members of the opposition say that the bill does not present the ele ments of finality, and places the Irish nation in a worse position than at pres ent. The executive of the Irish National league complains that ike evicted tenants have been left uncared for, while the disfranchisement-of twenty-three Irish seats under the bill, while the land and police questions lemain in the hands ql the government, v.ould seriously influence the power of the Irish members in the house of commons. Lvniediately upon the rejection of the home rule bill by the house of lords the executive of the Irish National league decided upou issuing a manifesto to the Irish people in America setting forth their views* rpon the pro visions of Ihe rejected bill and their ideas as to the course which the national league shouM adopt in the present crisis The manifesto says, among other things. "The bill submitted to the house of commons was proctically worthless. The imposition on our country of the mutil ated skeleton which was just ejected by the house of lords would be an outrage, and the serfs who would accept it with thanks would merit the scorn of the na tion. We have n6 hesitation in declar ing that no more pernicious influence has been at work than the influence of Mr. Gladstone in recent years. The spirit of Irish nationality was being stead ily destroyed by this influence fostered by a designing agency which prefers a West Briton to an Irishman. Mr. Gladstones whether he appeals to the country this year or not, will, in the opinion of those thoroughly acquainted with the situation, be defeated at the polls. A great con vention of Irishmen from all countries we think should be called and a plan for united action formulated and adopted. At such a convention the example of the American patriots might be emulated and a declaration of Ireland's independanco given to the orld." ROBBERS IDENTIFIED.

Duluth, Sept. 12.An order was re ceived by the police last night to ar rest Frederick Kreyenbuhl of this city, who is charged with being the proinci pal in a most daring attempt to defraud several life insurance companies. On July 21, the story became current that John Clark and W. B. Clegg had been capsized while out sailing aud that Gregg had been drowned. Clark told a story of remarkable endurance, how, af ter the boat had capsized he clung to the overturned craft from 10 one morning un til 3 o'clock the next, when the boat drifted to the north shore about eighteen miles from Duluth. He righted the boat and rowed back to this city, and going to Krayenbuhl's house, fainted Jh the doorway. There were some very suspicious circumstances connected with. the case. Some weeks later it developed that Gregg's life was insured shortly be fore the time of his disappearance for $20,000, and that the policies were made in favor of Krayenbuhl. About the middle of August a demand was made for the insurance money and the company began an investigation. Sev eral (special agents were sent here, and very early it was decided that there had been fraud. It was found that din ing th whole time Clark said he had been drifting on the north shore the wind was blowing in an entirely opposite di rection. It was found, loo, irom the testimony of vesselmen that no one could live in Lake Superior for the length of time Clark said he had been drifting The matter resolved itself into a ques tion whether Gregg was a party to the fraud or whether he had been muidered. From a vesselman it was finally learned that Gregg had been seen at La Pointe, a small place on the Wisconsin shore, some days subsequent to the drowning episode, and from there he was traced East. The same dispatch which ordered the arre*t of Krayenbuhl stated that Gregg and Clark had been arrested to gether in Philadelphia Clark is a brother of one of Duluth's prominent merchants, and all parties implicated are people of good standing.
