VOLUME XVI.---- _ - -- - - FORTY THOUSAND t ImposinJ Parade of the Grand Army t at the Encampment at n Pittaburg. C LOYAL OVATION TO THE VETS More Than Five Handred Thousand People Gathered to Do Them Honor. Pinrrenuc, Pa., Sept. 11.-Forty thou sand men who fought to save the union marched through the cities of Pattsburg and Allegheny today, and old familiar war tunes filled the air. While they stepped out boldly and bravely, the vet erans could not straighten bent forms or conceal gray hairs and furrowed cheeks. t They carried no heavy rifles with glitter ing bayonets, but aided aged limbs with walking canes, while here and there in the line of blue came a comrade on crutches. On every corner and vacant lot rose tier upon tier of human faces, and as the veterans passed cheer after I cheer greeted them. At 10:30 the parade I started from the historic Monongahela house on the bank of the river. The I Second batallion of the naval reserves, 4 N. G. M., acted as a guard of honor to Commander in Chief Adams. Then fol lowed the departments of the G. A. It. in the following order: Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maine. California, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Potomac Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland. Nebraska, Michi gan, Iowa, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Delewaro, Minnesota, Mie souri, Oregon, Kentucky, West Vir ginia, South Dakota, Washington, Alas ka, New Mexico, Utah, Tennessee, Louisana, Mississippi, Florida, Montana, Texas, Idaho, Arizona, Alabama, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Indiana, Pennsylvania. The decora tions were most lavish. It was stated by men who have attended many pre vious encampments. that, while indi vidual dieplaTs may have been excellent in other cities, they had never seen dec orations on such a generous and general scale. This was probably the last time the veterans will turn out in such force, as it is seriously contemplated by G. A. I. officIale, in view of advancing age, and the infirmities of members, to abandon this most attractive feature of the national encampment. Gov. Pattison with his staff, and notable men and women from all parts of the country, occupied the reviewing stand in Allegheny park and saluted each division. Every available inch along the route was packed, every side street was jammed full of people for a hundred yards back, and the house tops for blocks away were hidden by the masses of enthusiastic applauders. A rough estimate is that between 500,000 and 600,000 people saw the parade-of this number 300,000 to 3..0,000 came over the railroads, 100,000 arriving this morn ing. The weather was perfect. DISTINGUISHIED ARREST. State Omicers of Missisllppl Are Hauled Up Before Court. JAcKSoN, Miss., Sept. 11.-Warrant. have been sworn out for the arrest of the following state officers: J. M. Stone, governor; W. W. Stone, auditor, and J. J. Evans, state treasurer. W. J. Burns, special agent of the secret service bureau at Washington, made the warrants be. fore Commissiloner L. H. Mosely, oharg ing them with violating section 5630 of the revised statutes of the United States, in issuing 80o000 of Mississippi special warrants, charged with similarity to United States currency. Auditor Stone appeared be.ore the commissioner and entered into personal recognsance for 1,000 or his appearance in November. The warrants for Governor Stone and ,Treasuer Evans will be served today. Governor Stone was seen and ssid that the state omoials had no purpose to violate any United States law; that the matter was now to come boefre a court for whloh he had the gratest respeot sad in waloh he had the utmost coaf deos. He did not care therefore to publicly discuss the matter. Other Arrests. OCasIoo, Sept. 11.-Warrants were issued today for the arrest of President 0.0. Cheney and John Holmes of the Western Bank Note company. The two gave ball for $600 each to appear at St. Louis November 5th. The charge is the same as that against the governor, auditor and treasurer of Mississippi for printing bills similar to the currency of the United 8tates. Late News Regardiss the Eastern Ua plessmtasses. LonoxN, Sept. 11.-A dispatch to the Times hm Wei alt We today esys the commisiton composed of foreigner. after explaining the incidents of the naval fight on July 20th, declared that the Japanese were the aggressor The Chinee, the commission adds, were care ful to avoid the appearance of provoca tion, but the Japanese waylaid the Chi. mwe, selecting a good position. The Chinese senior ship escaped, making a running fight, while greatly damaging her pursuers. The remaining Chinese ship fought until her ammunition was exhausted and two of her guns destroyed. The same morning it appears the Jap anese arrived at Seoul and attacked the Chinese. at Asan. These operations were evidently weil concerted. The Chinese fleet, according to the Times dispatch, is now collected at Wei Hai Wei and in fighting trim. The Chen Yuen has been repaired and is now re cruiting seamen freely. An excellent esprit de corps exists among the Chinese sailors and they are awaiting orders to enable them to assert the supremacy of China in Corean waters. Continuing the Times correspondent cables that both the Chinese and Japanese in Cores are seemingly inactive. Another Treaty. WASIII(TON, Sept. 11.-A telegram was received at the Japanese legation this afternoon that an important treaty has been negotiated between Corea and Japan, which authority defines the rela tions of the two countries toward each other and towards China. FAULTY 1L)ICl.IETNT4. Case. Against. (Grent Northern Sitrlk.r,. I)ul1n hsrd. HT. PAUl,, Sept. 12.--Ueorge Carruth ere and fifteen others, charged with ob structiug the United States mails at Willmar last April during the Great Northern striuke, came before Judge Nelson in the United States district court this morning. In the midst of the trial the jury was withdrawn and the case dismissed. The court held that the evidence in the indictment was not suf ticient to inform the defendant in what particular way the mails were retarded. The cases of the strikers charged with - conspiring against the passage of the United States mails, were continued until the next term of court. As most of the obstructionists are charged with t conspiracy, it is quite probable that will come up again. Thanks to Gov. Turney. MxEMiHIs, Tenn., Sept. 12.-In response to a call issuedby the pastors of all the colored churches in the city a masr o meeting of negroes was held last night and resolutions adopted publicly thank ing Governor Turney, Judge Cooper and d the white citizens of Memphis for the determination they have shown to bring the Millington lyuchers to justice.

THE ENCAMPMENT YESTERDAY 8 Auxiliary Organiations Also Held Their Regular Annual Meetingse. t p Pin.suu:Rn; , Pa., Sept. 12.-While 200, 000 persons have left the city since yes terday, there are still 200,000 strangers in town. The National Encampment, G. A. R., opened this morning in the new Grand opera house. The delegates were welcomed on behalf of the citizens' exe cutive committee by the chairman, Dan iel C. Crippley and W. C. Quincey. Gov ernor Pattison welcomed them on be half of the state, Mayor McKenna on be half of Pittsburg, and Mayor Kennedy of Allegheny on behalf of that city. The election of commander in chief will not be held until tomorrow. Since the with drawal of Judge Charles D. Long of Michigan, the opinion is rapidly growing that Col. I. N. Walker of Indiana will se cure the coveted honor. The Woman's Relief Corps ladies of the G. A. IR. and Daughters of Veterans are also holding conventions. The staff of Capt. Jack Adams, the retiring commander in chief, I presented him and his wife last night with diamond souvenirs. Nlrs. Adams was honored by being elected an honor ary member of the staff. She is the sec ond woman to receive such a compli ment, the wife of General Alger being the first. The annual reports of national officers were read. Commander in Chief Adams reported the total membership at ..3,074 against 398.22l a year ago. Each succeeding year, he said, will show I a decrease. The interest in the order, however, has grown stronger. When the last comrade has been mustered out the G. A. R. should cease to exist, but the Sons of Veterans would carry on its work. The pension department of the 1 order hacinvestigated all cases of alleged pension frauds. Very few frauds were discovered and they were the work of agents. Adams complained that the pension office, in violation of the intended liberality of the act of June 27, 1890, re jected every claim about which there was tthe slightest doubt. The committee on legislation reported that the greatest in difference seems to have been shown on the part of our lawmakers towards the i veterans and urged G. A. R. members to use their influence with the senators and representatives to give preference in every public employment to the surviv ore of the war. Maj. A. H. Birchfleld, on behalf of the citizens, presented the commander in chief with a gavel made . of wood from Fort Sumpter, Appomator, SGettysburg and Libby prison, bound with metal from historic cannon. THE TARIRIFY MUDDLE. A Coulsllinlonl to IIe Created to Straightenl It Out. WasI.INuTOn , Sept. 12.-Hecretary Carlisle's determination to appoint com missionors composed of customs house inspectors and treasury officials to make regulations to carry into effect the sugar schedule of the new tariff law was ust what the sugar trust wanted him to do. The more complicated these regulations are made the better it will suit the trust and such a commission as Mr. Carlisle has named will be sure to make them complicated. The agents of the sugar trust have been a little anxious about the construction that might be put on the confectionery clause of the sugar schedule which says that refned sugar "tinctured, colored or adulterated may be imported under a 35 per cent ad valorem duty." It has been claimed that by the addition or a little coloring or adulterant ordinary refned sugar could be brought in under that clause. The question will probably be settled by Mr. OCrlsle's oommission, but the agents of the trust appear to have little doubt of its beingettled as they wish it to be so as to keep foreign reflned sugar out the market unless it pays the differential duty o one-eighth of one cent a pound in addition to the 40 per cent ad valorem imposed upon raw sugar.

IM. Alberti, an Owens speaker, who have been exchanging uncomplimentary re marks upon the stump in the Asblard distriot for the past week, met in a restaurant today sad Allen struck Al berti in the face with his open hand. One story is that Allen drew a pistol and Alberti called out that he was unarmed and dared Allen to shoot him down in cold blood. Another story is that both men drew pistols and the proprietor of the restaurant separated them. Nobody hurt. Against the Sugar Bounty. WASHINOTON, Sept. 11.-Secretary Carlisle in a letter today addressed to Senator Caffery of Louisiana oflicially denied that under the new tariff law it will be unlawfu! to appoint inspectors, T weighers and teeters, for bounty sugar under the McKinley act and further, that congress having made no appro priation for the employment of such of fidcal, the laws of the United States pro hibit the employment of such persons to t serve without pay.

The French (;overnment Enters a Prl'otest Against the Acts of Chinese. Lowno.a, Sept. 12.--A dispatch from Shanghai states that the power of Vice Roy Li Hung Chang has steadily do creased. Every days delay in providing the promised victory over the Japanese adds to the certainty of his downfall. Rplinforcements from more remote provinces, en route to Cores, are at AI tand still terrorizing the cities in which they are halted. Almost a reign of terror prevails, even in Tien-Tsin. The savage soldiery are everywhere Iplundering and maltreating. The wretched populace and native mer chants are fleeing to Tien.Tsin to save their lives. The French minister has formally protested against the action of the Chinese in boarding a French mail steamer. Saturday a letter from the resident minister at Seoul e stated that a large military hospital has been erected on the heights and numer ous sick Japanese are treated there. n Constant conflicts are taking place be a tween the out posts, but few badly a wounded have been taken back to Seoul.

She took the two year-old boy and went to her father's home near Marklevill. Tonight Watson went to the place and leveling a revolver at the mother com monded her to give up Lthe child. She had no alternative and obeyed Neither Watson nor the child has been heard of since. Mr. and Mrs. Watson have been married twelve years, and have always been at swords' points on religion, as both belong to peculiar and t radical creeds.

Sept. 12.-A special to T the Journal from Harrisburg, Pa., says: d Nearly every railroad in the United N States was represented in Chestnut hall t today. when the fourth biennial conven- g tion of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen was called to order by Grand h Master 1F. R. Sargent, of Terre Haute, R lnd. The attendance is the largest in the history of the order. At the open- l( ing session of the convention Grand Master Sargent delivered a lengthy ad dress, reviewing the progress of the or der and the troubles with which it had contended since the last biennial conven tion. He was repeatedly interrupted with applause, and concluded with the following stirring appeal: "Let the true and loyal .delegates and members lend their able and valued assistance to your grand lodge olliccre at this convention and once again the Brotherhood of Lo comotive Firemen will have demon strated that its presence among railroad laboring men is of too much value to be dispeneed with at the mere wish and beck of its enemies. It should not be forgotten the hundreds of thousands of dollars it has distributed among the widows, children, mothers and sisters of our dead members who were true and loyal to the brotherhood. Such acts as these should be the strength and sup port of all institutions. especially ours. Let it not be said that in one day, in one year, or one century, so conservative and valued an organization as the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen, shall be compelled to close its record and take from its members, its members' wives, children, mothers and sisters the pro tection and support they all so much re quire. Stand by the old ship that has so safely carried you through many tempestuous storms, and when its last page in history shall have been written, let it there be recorded that there was no more good to be done-no more good could be done." .E('RETARaY' REP'ORT. The biennial report of the general sec I retary and treasurer, F. W. Arnold, Is of s extreme length and of a decidedly satis r- factory tenor. It sets forth that the s. membership on August 1 aggregated - 26,508. against 25,907 on August 1, 1892. y In November last the order had an ag o gregated membership of 27.778, a growth of nearly 3,000 in two years, but the bus iness depression, which resulted in a largely decreased train service, caused the membership to fall off some 2,000. To some extent this decrease was attri buted to the late A. It. U. boycott, but the greater number are out on account ot depressed times. Financially the i brotherhood was never in better condi n tion. The surplus on hand amounts to $ 877,279. against $51,2S3 two years ago. te More than this, in theb same period named, the organization has paid out S8921,000 on death and disability claims, and $111,000 to striking firemen on the a Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan and the Lehigh Valley railroads. This is the best record financially that rhe in brotherhood has ever made. A BHAVE SAILOR. Captain reiltseh and the NIna Reach the C Other aide.

ACOuSTA, Me., Sept. 12.-It is only a question of majority for the republican candidates. The state ticket is elected by the largest majority ever given, the legislature ensures the election of Frye to the senate and Reed and Boutelle are both returned to congress. Jo Manly, the chairman of the state committee, is jubilant, and in speaking of the presidency said that for the no.m ination "Maine will be a loyal nad a steadfast to Tom Reed as the have bee to Blaine in the past. In the next re publican national convention Tom Reed will be a candidate for first place on the ticket. All New England will be solid for him, and the delegates from Maine will be for him first, last and all the time. In the last convention, in '92, Tom Reed could have had the second place on the ticket as a gift, but he didn't care for it, and neither will he in '96 accept the second place." "Under the conditions it is preposter ous to assume that any deal is likely to be made looking to Reed and McKinley or vice versa, for the reason that it is known that Governor McKinley is also a candidate for the first place. There is no foundation for any claim on the part of any friend of Governor McKinley that Tom Reed was antagonistic to his can didacy for the the presidenry in 18¶:2. McKinley himself. during the week of the convention, went among the dele gates and discountenanced the boom that was being made by his friends in his behalf. Certainly nothing that Tonm Reed did could have injured Governor McKinley in the convention. Reed was loyal to Blaine." TWO CI.EI:scER 'O.

Sergeant Shea made an important cap ture last week on the (;r~at Northern passenger train while on his return to Great Falls from his vacation trip.
