Special Chicago Letter. Citiens of St. l'aul nro deeply Inter ested in the approaching1 encampment 0f the Grand Army of tho Republic, to I held in that city September 1-5 next, and are cxertinpr themselves in effort to make the occasion a memorable one, so far a lies " I'n ne'r power to do so. Members of the Grand Army are look jiip forward to tho meeting with de cided satisfaction, and they confidently pridict that it w ill be the largest guth- COMMA.'DER-IN-CHIEF WALKER. tr'.ng of that body since the memorable gathering at Washington in 1S92, wlu-U troii;,' desire to see the old ground cone out in the great review of 1805 and to isit the southern battlefields attracted exceptionally large numbers of soldieis and their wives. St. Paul is capitally fitted for cn tertainiu? the encampment, as she has thrie excellent halls, any one of which j. sufficiently large for the holding of the body, w Idle the hotel accommoda tions of that city nnd Minneapolis are ample for all coiners. The vicinage of fers manv attractions, and during the gathering excursions will be made to the anotis points of interest within a radius of 100 miles. 'lhe first day, Tuesday, will be given to the council of administration, a body comoed of 45 members, one from each department, whose duties consist o: u revision oi iiie wwk oi me several oflicer of the body. From this council is made up the executive committee of teten, the quartermaster general and adjutant general, with the commander in chief being ex-ofllelo members. The grand parade, which will go over a course neurly two miles in length, will take place on Wednesday, com Yuenciug al ten o'clock, nnd Will con sume the greater part of the day. There is confidence on the pnrt of Com mander Walker and of Quartermaster Gen. liurbank that not less thun 50V C old soldiers will be in line, and th? lat'er thinks the number may swell to Ti.OOO. He declares Ihat Interest in the grand army grows with the years; that the eteran& make new acquaintances at each gathering and are naturally de sirous of seeing them again, as well a" thence who fought with them in the same regiment and line been their friends through mure than a genera tion. The third and fourth days, Thursday ml Friday, will be given to the actual vurk of the encampment, and during this time advantage will be taken of the opportunity to xiew the seenio neatities of the country around about the city. During the encampment, camp fires, fne or six: in number, will be held in arious portions of the city every eien inif beginning with Tuesday. The man .jjers hae been fortunate in securing orators of note, all of whom are verv popular with the members of the prrml army. Among the number na Gen. John C. Ulack, of Chicago; Wash ington Turner, secretary of state of Michigan; Gen. 11. B. Beiith, past com tn.nder in chief, of Pennsylvania; Com rade O'Donnell, republican candidate for governor of Michigan, and Hon. Wi'llam Warner, of Missouri, past com mander in chief. These have all signi fied their acceptance of invitations to be present nnd address their old coni rad's. Simultaneous with this gathering there will lie two additional national MRS. LIZAHETH A. TURNER, bodies at St. 1'uuL both of these having association with, or rather, growing out -t the former organization. The first end older of the iii. lie Woman's Belief corps, composed of wives, sisters, mothers and daughters, of the veterans, -ad the name suggests the object of the body, it being to uiTurd succor to old soldiers and their families whenever they may be In need. The president of the Woman's Jtellef corps is Mrs. Lira hetli A. Turner, of Boston. The other organization is the Ladles f the Grand Army of the Itcpublic, Mrs. Catherine K. Hirst, of Louisville, president. Its scope Is the same as thut - the Woman's Belief corps, but any !al woman Is eligible to membership, whether or not her father, brother, hits hand or son was a soldier in the lute war. 'tli of these organizations are entirely '"dependent of the Grand Army of the 'public, although they both meet at the same time with It, for the reason that most of the members hove relatives who nre members of tho grand army nnd It is a matter of convenience that the meetings be held at the same time and In the same city. The Ladles of tho Grand Army of the Republic are espe cially strong in Pennsylvania, outnum bering the Woman's Belief corps In that state, but tho latter are much stronger numerically throughout the United States. Both organizations promise to hold interesting meetings and to carry out varied programmes. Tho present officers of the Grand Army of the Bepublic nro Ivan N. Walker, commander In chief; Irwin Bobbins, adjutant general, nnd A. J. liurbank, quartermaster general; nnd these officers are kept busy nrranglng for the coming gathering, Quartermas ter General Burbauk, whose headquar ters are in Chicago, is especially active in promoting the work and giving his attention to Its details. Xaturally enough, and as always is the case in advance of the encamp ment, greatest concern focuses about the selection of a successor to Com mander in Chief Walker. Three candi dates are In the field nnd nominations would seem to have closed. The aspir ants for the place nre T. S. Clarkson, of Omaha; Daniel B. Bellou, of Rhode Island, and John Llnchan, of New Hampshire. All of these men hae ex cellent war records, and are worthy and good citizens. Mr. Clarkson wns originally from Illinois, from which state he entered the army in 18C1. Going west after the war he has prospered in business, he being a very successful nnd astute broker of Omaha. He would seem to bo the most formidable candidutc for the position. At Inst yenr'si encamp ment he wns a candldnt" for command er in chief, but the sentiment for Mr. Walker was so strong that In the in terest of harmony he withdrew. There is n widespread feeling among his com rades, especially in the west, that this action, together with Mr. Clnrkson's record as a soldier and citizen, entitles him to the distinction. All that mili tates against the success of Mr. Clark son is the fact that those of the post fne commanders In chief were western men, but as nn offset to this the wess is the great recruiting ground of tha grand army. In this portion of the country is greater enthusiasm, nnd the preponderance of acquisitions to the order is from the geographical region which Mr. Clarkson represents. He Is a man about 55 ycarsof age. Is nffnblo in manner, makes friends, and holds them, and possesses in strong degree those qualities which go to make up the successful lender. He has courage. tact, organizing qualities and knows how to control himself ns well as to direct others. He has legions of friends MAJ. TIIADDEUS CLARKSON. who are enthusiastic over his candl dacy nnd who predict that he will In- elected by an overwhelming majority Mr. Bellou's candidacy is somewhat interfered with in the fact that Mr. Linehiin also hails from New England, that section naturally dividing its strength between the two. He enlisted ns n private In the Twelfth Bhodelslnnd Infantry and was afterwards promoted to a lieutennntcy. His war record is a clean one, nnd covers the four yeurs of strife. Since the war he has practiced his profession, that of law, in which he has been very successful. Mr. Bellou has long been actively identified with the grand army, he, like the other two candidates, having filled the positions of post and department commander, Ho is u dear-cut, live nnd energetio man, whose merit qualifies him emi nently for the position to which he aspires. Mr. Llnehnn has long been active in grand army circles in New Hampshire, and, in fact, throughout New England. He is n man of about 50, held in high lep-ute by his neighbors nnd most zeal ous in furthering all matters tn wnlcn the old soldiers ure interested. The encampment may well felicitate itself upon the fact that it has suc.l worthy and good men from whom to make choice. A great deal of quiet work is being done by the candidates nnd their friends, especially among tho various posts throughout the United States, but Mr. Clarkson seems mani festly in the lend. The aim of the grand army has always 'been to have regard to the various localities, and, following this practice, the office would go this year to an eastern man. But Mr. Clarkson is so popular, bo eminently fitted for the position nnd so thorough ly In touch with the order and its mem bers that It is not believed he can pos sible be beaten. At least that is the way his friends talk, and they are will ing to fitake money on their judgment in this matter. Meantime every possible care is prom ised by the St. Paul people and the offi cers of the grand army that no possi ble thing shall be omitted the supplying of which will conduce to the comfort and convenience of the noldlers.

England' Consent to International BImet Warn Impossible Until United State Take Action-Chicago Ticket In dorsedThe Financial Issue. Dexver, Col., July 21. Senator Tel ler and eleven of his associates, who left the national republican conven tion, last evening made public an ad dress to the silver republicans of the country, setting forth their views of the situation. In addition to those signing tho address, Senator Pettlgrew, of South Dakota, and Senator Cannon, of Utah, nro declared to bo in sympathy with it, although Senator Cannon was not present at the conference owing to business engagements in Boston. Tho address is very lengthy. It says among other things: To those who believe In bimetallism, which means tho equal treatment of both sold and sliver at tho mints of tho nation, thoro Is but one course to pursue, and that Is to unite all tho sliver forces and to oppose with all our tnlcht tho candidate representing the policy which we believe Is frouglit with disaster to the nation and ruin to tho people. Gold monometallism means the shitting to (told alono, as primary money, nil the burdens of commerce nnd credit formerly borne by gold and silver, and as tho world's stock of these metals has always been about equal In amount. It means too doubling of tho burden upon cold. Doubling the burden upon gold means doubling tho demand for tho same, und doubling the de mand, of necessity, doubles the value thereof. That tho condition of the country Is not sat isfactory, all admit. Tho producers of wealth aro not receiving fair and proper compensa tion for their labor, whether In Held, factory or mine: enterprise has ceased; values are constantly declining: labor Is unlmployed. discontent and distress prevail to an extent never before known la the history of this country, and no reason can bo found for such an unhappy condition save In a vicious mone tary system. Those who profess to deplore the present financial condition and oppose tho free coinage of silver aro divided In opinion as to the cause of the present condition. Some declare that It Is becauso we havo too much tariff: olhcrR that we hare not enough, while the fact exists that every gold standard country In tho world, whether It has a high or low tariff, Is now and has been during recent years. In the throes of u financial panic: nnd every silver standard country compared with Its former condition, Is enjoying an Industrial development and degree of prosperity hitherto unknown In Its history. While thus differing In opinion, they unlto In asserting that the gold standardmust be main tained until foreign countries shall signify their willingness that the American people shall oxercl-e the rights of free men and create) a financial system of their own. No one who has rend tho proceedings of the three International monetary conferences that have already been held, or who has examined tho Impracticable propositions presented at those conferences can for a moment believe that any International bimetallic agreement can ever bo made with the consent of all the leading commercial nations of the world. There Is no hope for lnternatloial bimetal lism until tho. United States shall establish bimetallism for Itself, and when that Is done International bimetallism may be secured with out tho consent of Oreat Britain. The address then goes Cn to coomend the support of the Chicago ticket for the betterment of the distressed con dition of the country and says: This Is a critical period in our national his tory. Our Industry and financial Independ ence of other nations and peoples Is Involved in this campaign, and wo firmly believe thcro will bo no return of prosperity until wo shall novo changed our financial system so as to re store tho bimetallic system established by tho fathers of the republic TO STUDY THE STARS. A Chicago Expedition W hlch Expect Great ltr-sulls In Arizona und Mexico. Chicago, July 91. Tho principals in an astronomical expedition which, men of science say, is the most im portant one planned for more than half a century, left Chicago last night for Flagstaff, Ariz., to goevcntually to Mexico.

The question of the representation of states will be decided by an executive committee of five COMPTROLLER ECKELS. which will be selected from the na tional committee at the Indianapolis meeting. Comptroller Eckels arrived yester day morning and went into tho con ference. It had been supposed that he would be the bearer of some sort of message from President Cleveland, but he said: "I havo no message from Pres ident Cleveland, and am here, as others, to assist in the movement which I be lieve to bo for the best Interests of the democratic party." Mr. Eckels, when asked what name he favored for the head of the proposed ticket, said that he did not care to express a choice, but he had met many men who favored John M. Palmer. AN AWFUL DELUGE. Waterspout In Colorado Causes the Loss of Many Lles. Morrison, Col., July 25. A cloud burst in Bear Creek canyon, just above here at eight o'clock last night, brought down a solid wall of water ten feet high, which not only did great damage to property, but caused the loss of 15 or 20 lives. The known dead are: Mrs. Miller and three children; a party of campers, 15 or 18 in number, who were living in a small house just below them. Viola Foster, a little Denver plrl who was with this party, was saved at a point half a mile below their camp by people who heard her cries. This much has been leaanedon this side of the creek, but as all bridges nre gone and the water is still high and swift, nothing can be learned from the other side. At Golden the worst storm in its his tory broke upon that city at eight o'clock. Three lives are known to be lost and thousands of dollars' worth of property is destroyed. The dead are: A. A. Johnson and wife and Mrs. Ed wards. Tho Johnsons were carried down with their home. Mrs. Edwards was milking in the barn when the building was swept away. News is anxiously awaited from up the canyon, us it is believed thcro has been a heavy loss of life. A BOY HERO. Adolph Koch Kcscues a Child from the Wheels of u Trolley Car. Chicago, July 24. Adolph Koch be came a hero yesterday. He put his own life in jeopardy in a daring and dramatic rescue and snatched a child from the jaws of death. With horse and buj-$ry he dashed across the path of a flying trolley car, bent over in his flight and like a trained Cossack picked a four-year-old boy from under the merciless wheels, escaping death himself by the fraction of a second and the space of a few Inches. Spec tators who had been transfixed in breathless horror by the danger of the boy playing heedlessly in front of the incoming car broko into cheers when his rescuer swept into safety behind i frightened runaway horse, but with tho astonished child in his grasp.
