LONDON, Aug. lS.-The Daily Mall's
correspondent at St. Petersburg describes
a sensational Incident which occurred
during the Kleff strikes. . On one occasion,

"their poor starving/ brothers." *
The soldiers obeyed 'the counter order
and the captain made a flaming: revolu
tionary speech to his men. He .was Im
mediately arrested, tried by court-martial
and sentenced to death.

Colonel Klnne has a brilliant war rec
ord. It began with the famous Califor
nia Hundred, which waa eventually mus
tered into the Second Massachusetts
Cavalry and designated as Company A.
With that organization he participated
in some of the fiercest fighting of tho
war, beginning with a chase after Mosby
and his men and ending at Appomattox
Courthouse, where the last shot waa
fired and Lee surrendered to Grant. After
the grand review at Washington. Colonel
Kinne, who had already received promo
tion from first sergeant to the rank of
captain and assistant adjutant general of
volunteers, returned to this city, where
he re-entered the National Guard, from
which he had resigned at the outbreak of
the war. He has since held positions In
that organization ranging from major
and Judge advocate of the Second Brig
ade to lieutenant colonel and assistant
adjutant general on the division staff.
He has occupied offices in the Califor
nia G. A. R., and was department com
mander for two years. He la a member
of the Military Order of the Loyal Le
gion, of which he has been treasurer for
a number of years. _,".". ,
Candidates for other positions under
the next commander in chief of the G.
A. R-, General John C. Black, are not be
ing mentioned very frequently, for the
vnrinua States ara -wroStlng tfc* .selection
of the chief before making known their
favorites for subordinate places. Two
candidates are said to be seeking: tho
nomination of chaplain In chief of the
army, one being 1 Wlnfield Scott, who is
the candidate of the Department of Ari
zona, and the other Is Chaplain Bross of
the Department of Nebraska. The first
mentioned Is said to have tha strongest
backing.
At the national headquarters yesterday
General Stewart and his assistants wera
kept busy the greater part of tha day
issuing credentials to the delegates of
the convention and arranging for tha
opening of the annual session to-morrow.
During the forenoon General Miles paid
a friendly call on the commander In chief
and remained with him for about ten
minutes. Later several of General Black's]
friends called at headquarters and after
departing: one of them remarked that!
there was no further doubt that General
Miles would be. foremost among those
who will support the nomination of Black;
as successor to General Stewart.
The giving to California of snch a
prominent place in the national director
ate of the organization is deeply appre
ciated by the veterans of the State, and;
it Is certainly appreciated by the distin
guished soldier upon whom the honor
falls.
fairs of the Department of Cali

mander in chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic. The selection of this well
known veteran was made yesterday. His
name will go before the convention o£
delegates to-morrow and will be accept
ed without opposition. For years, with
two exceptions, it has been a custom of
the encampments to name for the posi
tion of senior vice commander in chief a
delegate from the city in which the en
campment is held, this as a mark of ap
preciation of the courtesies extended to
the veterans during their stay in tho
city. The only exceptions have been on,
two occasions when a strife was devel
oped, and a number of contests arose.
Since there is no strife this year. Com
mander In Chief. Stewart notified the lo
cal posts that it would be well to unlta
on a man for the position. Following
his suggestion the representatives mec
yesterday and voted to accord Colonel C.
Mason Klnne the honor.
