« ..;.t Mist -. <>.. Sept. Li— The Grand
Army encampment of IS_*B-*S9 will be held
in Milwaukee. This was decided upon
by the National encampment late this
afternoon, the vote Ing unanimous.
Before the encampment adjourned
Gen. N. M . Curtis.. .t New York, general
Goodman. California; Gen. J. C. Line
ban. New Hampshire: Judge Ye-,
Vermont; Congressman Warner, Mis
souri, and Col. 11. M. Duffield, Detroit,
Mich., were placed in nomination for j
tbe position of commander-in-chief. j
A vote will be taken to-morrow
morning. It was 11 o'clock when
Commander-in-Chief Rea called the en
campment to order in the Metropolitan
opera house. The commanders'' report
was a lengthy document. It showed
that the present membership was
3_*0,*936, a gain since the encamp
ment of a year ago of "fS.'-SO. although
nearly 5,000 comrades had died. The
report went on to say: Notwithstand
ing the unusual political excitement
which pr»-vail> throughout the country,
and the well-known fact that our
ranks are full of active, earnest
supporters of the men »nd measures
of the several political parties, not a
sinale violation of article 11, chapter
.*.. of mi* rule.- and regulations, has been
brought to my attention.;
THE LOYALTY OF f ()M!IADF.S
tojthe noble objects arid sacred mission
of our fraternity need nut he and is not i
affected or its usefulness impaired by
honest differences of opinion upon
questions of governmental policy. The
pension question was dealt with at j
length and regret expressed that the bill j
reported by tiie TweiiTv-first national
encampment had failed to pass con
gress. Said tin* commander in chief:
**By this failure, wholly inexplicable
and indefensible; thousands of our help-'
le>s comrades, helpless because of i
their devotion to their country !
in its extremity, are subsisting upon the ,
charity of their comrades, or are pau
pers in the mighty, wealthy republic
their unselfish valor saved.* 1 cannot
fijly comment upon this subject. My
emotions . ■!! not permit it It
cannot be that the people
of America will voluntarily continue
Juiisrer to withhold from these heroic
men that scanty support needed to pre- ;
*» rv.* them from tin* pauper's fate and
{liable t!it* in to end their lives, so
nnrLETE with past ..i .oi;y.
jo full of present pain, so bereft of
future hope in self-respected manli- i
ti-ss. Adjt. Gen.* Daniel Pish. of Mm- !
neapolis, read bis report, the
a.nin items in which are contained
in the ieport cf the commander-in-chief, j
The report of Comrade W. G. Veazey, I
Judge advocate general,' was then made.
it opens with a reference to the propo
lition of the late J. W. Drexel.t* lile
»sng friend of Gen. Grant,' to give tiny j
Alount McCregor cottage, where Gen. j
Grant died, to the Grand Army, This j
matter whs referred to him by the com- !
mander-in-chief, and in order to close !
the matter legally he drew Dp a bill in- j
corporating the* M;. McGregor Memo
rial Association." which named J. W.
Drexel, John P. Lea. G. 11. Treadwell
and John Kellogg as incorporators. j
This bill was passed by the New York
legislature, but Gov. Hill's si-mature
was withheld on account of the death of
Mr. Drexel. CoinradeVeazy assures the
encampment that tin* Drexel heirs wish
t.i carry out the purposes of the bequest,
lie reports the conditions of the hill, j
which provides among other things,
for a
PERPETUAL BOARD OF COXTUOL
and submits the matter as it now
stands. tirade John Taylor, of Phil
adelphia, quartermaster general, then
made his renort for the year
ending Aug. 31, ltr»*. His finan
cial statement shows that the
cash balance on hand August SI. 1887, .
was I ..•'!>*. -->. and the receipts for the
year i*c;T..*JTT.i:'. The expenditures were

ami there are no liabilities. The con- :
tributions to the Grant Monument fund
are now -f'.',4-S.4*.*— * 1,1 -to. i -j having been
received since the last report. The
expenditures previously reported
were §193.05, this " leaving a

_:r>.-24. The report of the committee on
pensions gave rise to a prolonged and j
animated debate. It excited their j
action in regard to national I
pension legislation, ■ and spoke I
in exceedingly bitt.-r terms of the
fa lure of the "disability bill: The re
port of the committee reindorsing the
"•'indigent*.* bill was finally adopted: I
There was an ex*.-itin_r sceneduring the I
afternoon session of the encampment.
"While the pension question was under i
discussion a number of papers were
handed up to the chairman to be read.
Among them was a
DISPATCH I-i'oM PBESIDE3TT CLEVE
LAND
acknowledging the receipt of an invita
tion to attend the encampment, and ex
plaining that it bad been mislaid
by his secretary and forgotten in
the press of business. For this
and his inability to be present j
be expressed hi-* regrets. The reading
of the dispatch, according to some of
the delegates, was followed by hisses,
groans and cheers. Half a dozen mo- j
tions ere made to lay the dispatch
on the table and to refer it to
the committee on pensions. Several
delegates demanded vociferously the
name of the officer or comrade who had
taken it upon himself to extend the in- :
vitation, and <;-i*. Keiter in an excited
manner asked Commander Pea if i
he was responsible for the action,
The commander responded promptly in j
the negative, adding that he had no
authority to invite the president. Some j
of the delegates took advantage of the
circumstance to
MAKE A GENERAL ONSLAUGHT
uiKiu the president's pension policy and !
his vetoes. Finally all the motions j
were declared out of order and the reg
tiiar business was proceeded with. To- [
night it was developed that the invita
tion had been extended by the |
lot al committee, to which " body .
the reply was address* it. and that j
it had gotten into the hands of the adju- I
tant general of the national encamp- i
ment by an error in the exchange of pa
pers. "Republican comrades to-night
are expressing their regret at the occur
rence, but insist that nothing transpired i
to which the president could have taken !
I exception had be been present.

were comfortably filled, and it

who are only too glad to get

reach their destination In good health
and safety. Dr. t'uiteras. marine hos

not doing things by halves, and the re

was in keeping with their past record.
They were not content with simply
offering a comfortable place to
rest to which the weary sight
seer could repair after the
long walks through the agricultural and
mechanical halls, fine art exhibits and
live stock barns and pens, but did the
hospitable to all their guests, and spread
an inviting lunch. Said a prominent
member yesterday, regarding the spirit
promoting their efforts: "We have been
on many junketing tours throughout
the northwest and have everywhere
been so well treated that we desire to
do whatever we can to show our friends
that their kindness has not been for
gotten."
'ihe headquarters yesterday were
under the charge of A. 11. Lindeke, as
chairman of the committee, he being
ably assisted by Messrs. S. B. Foote,
Alfred Dufresne and George Berry,
and it is needless to say that the many
representative business men of St,

who called during ths day, were
pleasantly entertained. Among the

HONORING ST. PA O L.
Features That Will Mark the
Fourth Day.
"An important feature of to-day's pro
gramme will be the artillery drill at
11:15 a. m.. under command of Ha}.
Rodney. Battery F. Fourth United
States artillery, will give the exhibition
in the open space south of the main
building. Fifty-six men will participate,
and all 'the maneuvers of the regular
army tactics will be Illustrated.
At noon a game of base ball will be
played between the Dispatch nine, of
St. Paul, and the Lyndales, of Minneap
olis. They have already played two
games, having each won one. To-day's
game will decide the amateur cham
pionship of the state, and will be played
in front of the grand stand.
The balloon ascension will take place
at 2 o'clock, if tin- weather permits.
After the ascension will come tin- races.
The Fair event, scheduled for the
gun club tourney, promise to be un
usually Interesting, as the prizes offered
are valuable and worth competing fur.
In the evening the parade of the Fire
department through the brilliantly
lighted business thoroughfares of the
city will, doubtless, be a novel feature
for out-of-town visitors.
WHiiii.iNCi OX \vhki:ls. \
Parade of Bicycles Proves an At
tractive Feature.
A parade of wheelmen upon deco
rated wheels was a unique spectacle
last evening on the streets of the city.
The parade was organized and carried
out by the Standard Bicycle club, un
der the captaincy of Frank Hertz, and
proved a great success." A start was
made early in the evening from the
Central Police station, when upward- of
100 bicyclist formed in line, headed by
two mounted policemen. They pro
ceeded up to bird street, where the
procession was viewed by many thou
sand citizens. It was an exhilarating,
not to say gorgeous sight. The
illuminations were in full glow, stretch
ing to the right and left in endless va
riety, hue and* form. The wheelmen
passed along and added vim to the
picturesque and taking scene. Upon
either side of each machine hung a
large-sized Chinese lantern, serving as
an effective fireground to the decorations
upon the wheels. These decorations
were universally of three colors— red.
white and blue— and as the. wheels re
volved a charming picture was present
ed. Third street was crowded and mur
murs of admiration greeted the wheel
men for the pleasing display they had
provided. On reaching the foot of
Sibley street the parade turned off and
made for the headquarters of the Stan
dard club, where it dispersed. Mean
while Third street continued the ren
dezvous for sight-seers, and up to 10
o'clock the thoroughfare -was a surging
mass of humanity. All classes were
represented— the laboring man struck
elbows with the millionaire— and the
.•young and old junketed along in a
•■light-hearted, free-and-easy style. Music
by three bands stationed at convenient
■distances on the street supplied attract
ive music* in the shape of operatic,
•dance and national selections. it was a
beautiful evening, pleasantly and thor
oughly enjoyed.
„ WILL TAKE THE PRIZE.
E. M. Hallowell & Son's Display
n the Center of Admiring Crowds.
~A The center of attraction in Carriage
-hall continues to be E. M. Hallowell &
.Son's display' of fine carriages. Nothing
better in the vehicle line was ever ex
hibited in Minnesota, and judging from
the admiring crowds that hung about
that particular exhibit, the people are
/not slow to appreciate merit when they
see it. Hallowell & Son lead in the
carriage line, and if there is anything
new to be bad, they can be relied upon
to be the first to have it. Their line of
broughams, cabriolets, victorias and
other fancy vehicles are especially ele
gant in • their Fair display, and their
prices are such as to be within the
reach of even people of ordinary cir
cumstances.
THE ST. PAUL. BARBEL "WORKS
A St. Paul Manufacturing Insti
tution That Is a Credit to the
City.
Mr. Edward Tanish, president of the
St. Paul Barrel Works, makes an excel
lent display of the output of their two
factories, in West St. Paul and at the
Stock Yards, in Agricultural ball. It Is
arranged in the form of a pyramid, with
the larger and coarser work at the base,
: and the finer and exquisitely 'finished
, workmanship on ton. Though only five
years old. the St. Paul Barrel Works
i have built up their business to a point
where they manufacture nearly SOO bar
rels per day at both factories, "for all of
which they find ready sale. The Stock
Yards factory was started only last
spring, and was done to meet the heavy
demand made by the Stock Yards com
pany.
i The Horton Portrait Company's
Display.
As an exhibition of superb coloring
1 and marvelous skill, the Portraits of the
Horton Portrait company have never
been equaled in the Northwest.
WALTER A. WOOD'S "LIGHT
NING ARTIST
Holds Admiring Crowds Spell
bound While Watching His Mar
velous Work.
The old and reliable Walter A. Wood
Machine Company is on the ground in
charge of Mr. F. Y. Bartlett, who is
well and favorable known throughout
Minnesota as the general Northwestern
Agent of the above firm. Perhaps the
most interesting feature of the display,
to the ladies anyway, is the painting of
the justly celebrated lightning artist,
Mr.*'. F. Wilder, who executed and
presented to the ladies that called over
-Joo pictures yesterday, or an average of
one each minute. A new style Single
Apron Harvester— very latest har
vesting machine made— an admir
ing crowd about it all the day. Like
everything else the Walter A. Wood
Company has, it is just a little better
than anything else displayed.
THE "MINNESOTA CHIEF"
THRESHER.
The Machine All the Name Im
plies — The New Minnesota
Thresher Manufacturing Co.
A more appropriate name for a thresh
ing machine could not have been se
lected, unless it would be to change the
wordingsand call it the '-Chief" of all
threshing machines. The history of
the affairs of the old Northwestern Car
company are sufficiently familiar to all
the residents of Minnesota, and the fact
! that the present company is the suc
cessor of the old concern is pretty
i generally known. It commenced
| work the Ist of last January
i just where the old company left
i except that where the former were
j financially weak the present company
go to work with ample capital at hand
: to make success in spite of hard times
i or any other similiar contingency. The
; thresher shown at the Fair this year is
without doubt the best machine ever ex
hibited, combining all the elements of
success as found In no other machine
shown on the grounds. The capacity
of the new works is 1.000 threshing ma
chines per year, besides a capacity of
over 5,000 wagons per year, a branch
I of the business that has only recently
! been started. The engine generally
1 used in operating the "Minnesota
Chief" is the "Giant," also manufact
j ured by the same company, for which
they have a capacity of SOO per year.
NOTES OF A DAY
Spent Amid Agricultural and In*
dustrial Surroundings.
The fair authorities seem to have an
intricate way of recording the premi
ums awarded by the judges. The su
'■ perintendents of the various divisions
hold the numbers of the articles which
have drawn prizes, and in the secreta
ry'- office are guarded the names of the
owners of such articles. Hence there is
unnecessary difficulty in obtaining the
information to publish the awards in
proper shape.
The members of the special commit
tee for "St. Paul day" are requested to
meet at the fair mounds this morning at
11 o'clock sharp in the office of H. R.
Denny, secretary State Fair associa
tion. It is important that all shall be
there.
The general supposition exists that
men are the only human beings that be
come interested in the modern improve
ments in machinery. But a visit to
machinery hall give one a very different
impression. All day yesterday scores
of ladies were surging to and fro
i through machinery hall and adjacent
: buildings, and aside from the in luce
ment offered by Walter A. Wood's
lightning artist, the harvesters, thr.-sh
■ ipg machines, steam engines and sew
ing machines received careful scrutiny.
' Lindeke, Warner At Schurmeier's. and
, Finch. Van Slyck & Ca's exhibit of
i Singer sewing machines and the work
: .performed upon them by the agile oper
ators in charge, show to what an extent
this branch of inventive genius has fa
cilitated th.i labors of hand-sewing.
The pottery manufacturers attract
I hundreds of the curious sight seers, and
! When a large unshapely lump of clay is
j turned into a jug or the image of an an
i imal, the uninitiated are left to wonder
j how it is done.
Soldiers' tickets to State Fair at half
; rate will be supplied to veterans at the
Chamber of Commerce room: also can
be procured of Capt. Kittelson at Com
mercial National bank, corner of Jack
son and Fourth streets Marshall,;
also at the camp near Fair grounds.
Miss O'Leary had some superb lamp
shades on display in her artistic exhibit
in the north wing of the main hall,
One was made of satin and flowers and
another wholly of flowers made from
tissue paper. '
I The Dayton's Bluff Dining hall served
diuner to over 500 persons yesterday.
Home-cooked meals arc served by a co
terie of young ladies itr a manner to
make it far ahead of any other dining
hall on the grounds.
Bruno, monkey, keeper, club and
bass drum headed the procession of the
Indians. Bruno, a grizzly, carried a
hickory club, and a sportsman's dog
created no manner Of fun for the many
beys that had congregated.
The police had great trouble in keep
ing loungers and curious vagrants from
the track after the steeple chase, En
glishmen, especially, were there sympa
thizing with their * defeated ~ country
man, Mr. Close.
The board of education adjourned
over till Friday In order to give the
members a chance to attend tbe State
Fair to-day.
It seems that there was some misun
derstanding in regard to the closing
of the public schools to enable the pu
pils to attend the State Fair. Notice
was first given that they would be
closed Friday, but this has now been
corrected.
The parade of the horses, ponies and
cattle about the little lake in the
ground, which was to have taken place
yesterday forenoon, was postponed
until Friday. One of the officials
stated he did not believe It was possible
to get them all out and that he believed
the parade would be abandoned.
The voting machine has its share of
visitors, and all pronounce it a remark
able piece of Yankee ingenuity.
The side-show men are coining
money. People it seems, are willing to
pay for the gratification of curiosity
even if they don't see much— they
generally don't.
There is no lack of music on the fair
grounds. The band gives two concerts
every day and plays on the grand stand
during the races. ' The pianos in the
main building are constantly in service.
On the grounds may be seen a blind
fiddler, several women with hand
organs, and last and loudest the In
dians in the side-show.
Fat men and lean men, women be
dewed with heat, crying babies and
howling urchins all contribute to the
excitement.
Many St. Paul and Minneapolis car
riages, filled with prominent people,
were watching the races form the In
closure.
It was King Burk's 100 th trip sky
ward, and his mother, who was fore
most in making arrangements lor his
ascent, has made upwards of 1,000 sim
ilar journeys.
To-day Miss Lotta Hunt will make a
grand balloon ascension at 5 p. in. from
in frout of the giond stand.
The public schools will be closed to
day, it being St. Paul day at the State
Fair. _
PRELIMINARY TO A POOL.
Manufacturers of Barbed Wire
Hold a Secret Conference.
Chicago, Sept. 12.— secret meeting
of leading barbed wire manufacturers
was held at the Tremont house this aft
ernoon. It was given out that no advance
in prices was agreed upon, although
the manufacturers claim that at present
prices there is no profit in the business.
It is probable that another meeting will
be held as soon as the result of to-day's
conference can be made known to other
manufacturers, at which an effort will
be made to form a pool.

Volcanic Eruptions and Floods in

Sax Francisco, Sept. 12.— The

The Mayon, an old volcano
in the Phlllippine islands was in a
violent state of eruption in July. It Is
thought over 100 persons were de
stroyed by lava and ashes. Further

A Good Name
At home is a tower of strength abroad.
This is fully verified By the history of
Hood's Sarsapariiia, which has a reputa
tion at home unequalled by any other med
icine. In Lowell, Mass., where it is made,
whole neighborhoods are taking it at the
same time, and the druggists of Lowell
say they sell more of Hood's Sarsapariiia
than of all other Sarsaparillas or blood
purifiers. The same wonderful success is
extending all over the country as the
peculla: merit of Hood's Sarsapariiia be
comes known. It cures Scrofula, Salt
"Rheum, all Humors, Dyspepsia, Bilious
