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.

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.

The parachute by means of which the daring aeronaut made his descent is cheaply constructed of a barrel hoop to which is attached a few yards of cheap linen. King Burke, the mid-air explorer who was the voyager of the day. stepped into the trapeze attachment, and bidding the attendants loosen their hold, the "Queen of the Air" went upwards with the grace of an albatross, higher, higher, until the balloon itself assumed the proportions of A foot-ball, the parachute attained the proportions of a mere shapeless mass, and the chief actor was scarcely discernible. When at least 5,000 feet In the air King Burke was dimly seen to disconnect the para chute, which suddenly detached itself from the balloon, and shot downward with incredible velocity. The spectators closed their eyes, for it was difficult to believe that such a drop through space could be made with safety. But ; finally the sail-like parachute began to I make its resisting power felt: and slowly and yet more slowly it decemled. the aeronaut gently swinging in his perch to ease the fall: and in less than four minutes from the time he first started he had once more planted his feet on the part after a 10,000-foot tour j through space, landing just hack of ! the pavilion, and less than forty feet ! from where he started.

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.
