HO YDS WILL BE BUST TONIGHT < arr>inu the Whilom Wnrrlor Knst- Vnrtl on His Mission of Peaceful Reunion ami Fellowship On to Buffalo! Tlu> Invasion of Buffalo by the brave boys in blue has commenced. It will • iceful Invasion, and the only i ;' ;i military invasion will J of the thousands of vet- Civil war. It is expected he thirty-first annual en will exceed in numbers any fore. , of the Minnesota veterans — thi hers as it were — started yes d the indications are that will present a strong turn nuiin body, however, will evening, and they will num , too, for hundreds of tickets ha\ ■ ady been sold and berths in Ble< ■ ssigned. There never has been t when the crowd has been so led; every road running out of St. Paul and Minneapolis will get a share of the patronage and many of the in tending excursionists are waiting until the last moment to purchase their tick ets in hopes that today the roads will commence cutting rates. It Is very -ardent though that the present low fOj i O of $18.50 for the round trip from Eh iaul will be maintained. The "Soo" line has made a special bid for the business from the Northwest and has made elaborate preparations to make the brave old boys comfort able on their trip. A special train of seven cars over this road will leave St. Paul at 7:40 this evening, and will con sist of first-class sleepers, tourist cars, day coaches, buffet and a baggage car. The price of meals in the dining car has been cut to a very low figure — lower than the figures on the menu card of the average restaurant. This will be the official train of the North Dakota department and not a few of the St. Paul comrades will also travel by this route. The "line of march" is by way of Sault Ste. Marie, with an hour's stop to see the new canal, To ronto. Hamilton and Niagara Falls, at which latter place anather lay-over of two hours will afford a view of this world-famous wonder. The North Dakota vets arrived on a special over the "Soo" last evening. Col. E. C. Gearey, the department com mander, reports that about seventy five members of the G. A. R., with their families, are en route for the en campment. This is a very much larger representation than was expected. The Kurlington pulled out a special ! lets night and will do so again this | evening. The Wisconsin Central tram had two extra sleepers attached to last night's train and runs a special tonight. The Omaha is running heavy I trains and will send sleepers straight j through to Buffalo over Eastern roads. The Chicago Great Western and Mil waukee roads are also doing the same thing, and the latter is bringing a great many into St. Paul on its branch lines, to start from here. The Minnesota "Headquarters" train v>ill start from Minneapolis tonight over the Minneapolis & St. Louis to Chicago, thence over the Erie. On it I will be the department commander, E. I B. Wood, and his staff, and about 250 veterans, many of them accompanied by their wives. The train will include r.in^- sleepers, a commissary car, din- Ing and baggage cars. The meals to veterans will be free. The committee from the four St. Paul posts, Garfield, Acker, Ord and Gettys burg, recently adopted the Wisconsin Central as their official route, the train to run straight through from Chicago to Buffalo over the Wabash line. It will include three or four sleepers, day . car, dining and baggage car, and will leave at 7:40 tonight. Among some of the familiar personages who will bo seen on the train are Capt. H. A. Cas tle, J. J. McCardy, Albert Scheffer anJ Joe L. Brigham. But, as mentioned above, this arrangement was not en tirely satisfactory to all, and the local business will be split up among all the roads. How many veterans from Minnesota will att<*nd the encampment? A con servative estimate places the number at considerably over 1,000, besides the ladies and other excuirsionists, who will take advantage of the cheap rates. A great many farmers will attend — dollar wheat was a convincing argu ment to ir.duc-e them to take a little recreation. The four St. Paul posts alonn will send nearly 200. It is more than probable that the next encampment will be held at Cin cinnati. An Ohio man is also a candi date for the selection of commander ln-chiff of the (i. A. R., Col. James H. Bexton, and it is thought he will re ct ive the support of the Minnesota del egates. A special car made up largely of veterans residing in the towns along the line of the Hastings & Dakota di vision, left on the Milwaukee last night and the Wisconsin Central had one <jr two cars. Woithington's delegation to the en campment at Buffalo, started at noon by a special car. Twenty persons were in the party, Town, Sheppard, Bigham, Vail. Leonard. Shattuck, Baker and Others went. They came by the Omaha and passed through St. Paul last even ing. Several ladies accompanied them. The New York central has gotten out a neat button for encampment visitors.

Mrs. Kate Taylor Attacked by a St. Bernard. Mrs. Kate Taylor, a colored resident of "Paradise Alley," in the rear of 608 Robert street, was In state of nervoua exeitoment last evening ovrr a dog bite received during the afternoon. The woman lives in the neighborhood where Amelia Branch and an Italian boy are supposed to have died from hydropho bia last spring and the fact that the dog which bit her is said to have run rampant with the canine thought to have caused the death of the children, when it was terrorizing the neighbor hood, causes Mrs. Taylor much uneasi ness of mind. The dog is a female St. Bernard, owned by E. Bentley, 598 Robert street, but aside from having the responsibil ity of a family on her hands at the present time, is not considered vicious, nor is she believed by her owner t have been In company with the dog alleged to have been afflicted with rabies, Mrs. Taylor stopped at th back gate to talk to Miss Bentley yes terday afternoon, and says the do sprung at her throat. She turned an ran when the animal sank its teet into the flesh of her right leg abov the knee. The flesh was somewha lacerated, but the dog made no furthe attack. Aside from the cases of sup posed hydrophobia in the neighborhoo s. \vral months ago, Mrs. Taylor say she would feel little alarm, but th fear that Mr. Bentley's dog migh have been bitten by the brute with rabies renders her extremely appre hensive, though she had not last even ing yet consulted a physician. W.4XTED AT SUPERIOR. Albert Duford Taken Buck to An MTver Larceny Charge. Albert Duford, the young man arrest od Friday with a dismantled bicycle i his possession, which was believed t have been stolen, was taken to Wes Superior last night to answer th charge of grand larceny. It is claimec that Duford is wanted at the head of the lakes for a theft committed several months ago, when, it is alleged, he stole a pair of bracelets from a guest of the hotel where he was employed as elevator boy. Duford is said to be the man arrested in this city under the name of John Allard during the G. A. R. encampment last year for stealing a watch from a guest at the Metropoli tan hotel. For this offense he served a term of six months in the workhouse, going from here to West Superior. De tective Rice, who took Duford back to : West Superior, says he is the man wanted by the authorities of his city. BI'RSED BY GASOLINE. CliurleK F. FeeiHe Suffers InjurlcM to I HIM Hands. Charles F. Feeise, the slxteen-lear-old j son of C. Feeise, living at 229 Ramsey i street, was slightly burned about the hands by flaming gasoline shortly after 6 o'clock last evening. The boy had lighted a gasoline stove and spilled I some of the oil on the floor. The end ! of a burned match fell into the ex- j posed liquid and ignited it, causing the \ kitchen to take fire and burning the youth's hands. The fire department ex- I tinguished the flames in the kitchen i with little damage. Mr. Feeise's burns i are only slight. Didn't Intend to Keep Them. Anna Coushak. the girl accused of helping I herself to the belongings of Anna Levins, a i waitress employed at the Temperance res- ' taurant, was arrested at Chaska by Detective ! Cai V bell, and returned to St. Paul yesterday, I when she was arraigned in the police court I on the charge of larceny. The prisoner is I but seventeen years old, and admits having ' taken M!ss Levins' property, though dia- I claiming any intention of stealing. She says she only borrowed the wearing apparel, watch and rir.R to attend a wedding at Winona, and intended to return the things. Miss Levins j said she didd not desire to prosecute the girl | if she could get her property back, and the I case was continued until Sept. 6. Dislodged the Enemy. "We have at last succeeded In dislodging a portion of our enemy from their strong hold!" exclaimed the almost breathless Span ish officer. "How did you manage it?"

Bulletin on the Subject From tlie Aurieultiiritl Department. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.— A special bulletin has been issued by the agri cultural department on diseases of the Bermuda or Easter lily, which is of much interest to the. florists of the country. It points out that forcing of the lily has become an important in dustry in the United States. The bulbs are grown almost exclusively in Ber* muda, where they mature in July, and are then shipped to this country to be forced the following fall, winter and spring. During the past five or six years, a disease affecting the lily, ap parently growing more destructive each season, has seriously interfered with the profitable growth of the plant. The government began an investigation of the plant two or three years ago, and the preliminary report says the dis ease destroys, In this country, from twenty to sixty per cent of the entire crop, exclusive of the bulbs which fail to grow or that make worthless plants, the loss from which ranges from 5 to 30 per cent. The disease is characterized by spotting and distortion of the leaves and riowers, and usually the stunting of the plants. France, the, Netherlands and Japan are supposed to : be similarly afflicted. The principal causes assigned are worn out soil, prfetrfature removal of flowers and flower stems, peculiar harvesting of bulbs, carelessness in selections of propagating stock, bad treatment during the . forcing and the depredation of insects.' . As remedies, it is suggested that only strong and vig orous plants be used. -for "propagation, crop rotation should be, practiced: chemical fertilizers used and premature digging avoided. -•- — I FAST PASSAGE.

RESULT OF FUREY'S THREAT WAS THAT THE MONEY WAS DE LIVERED TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER. TOLICE DEPARTMENT SHOOK UP. The Young; Man Behind the Barn ClubltliiK HlniHelf Ileouuse He Lottt His Head. The story In the Globe yesterday, relative to the $180 which was "held out" on George Roebuck, who claims to have been robbed of $700 by Thomas Furey a- week ago, was like a blast of giant powder exploded over the, river to make it give up its dead. The concussion shook police circles from center to circumference. It caused the $ISO to be dislodged from the mes"hes into which it had fallen and returned to its owner. The money was turned over by Attorney John E. Hearn, who declined to say for whom he was act ing. Who had the money and why Roebuck and the public had been al lowed to believe the $180 was taken by one of the alleged thieves are questions which will probably not be proclaimed from the house tops. The following explanation, however, is given by Chief Goss: "At the time of the investigation of this matter, a week ago, in the office of the mayor, it was apparent that 'Kid' Furey, now in the county jail, robbed Roebuck of $700. The thief was lollowed into the saloon of W. H. Grffin, where $520 was recovered. This sum is now in my possession, and is being held until the trial of Furey. The other $180 was not discovered. At that in vestigation Griffin was informed that the money disappeared within a few minutes after the robbery, and that the thief was chased into his saloon. Griffin was told that this sum would have to be turned over to the robbed man or his saloon closed. It was shown at that time that Griffin was ill and not at the saloon when Furley was cap tured. Griffin was told that this course was not taken against him personally, but that the same policy would be pursued respecting any saloon." Whether Purey's threat "to tell all he knew" had the effect of turning up the missing money is a question, but one thing is certain, it did not release him from jail, and be Is still one of Sheriff Wagener's enforced guests. He evidently reconsidered his determina tion to "peach," however, and while in anything but an amiable frame of mind yesterday, absolutely refused to make the threatened statement. When Furey's threat became known there was a decidedly accelerated move ment, commonly termed "hustling," in certain circles to placate the young man. It was plainly evident that the missing money could not be turned over to the prisoner, as his wife de clared should be done to defray the expenses of attorneys' fees, and on the other hand it was realized as likely to be more disastrous to keep the wealth longer "planted." Something had to be done, however, and the ra pidity with which the money was re turned to its owner caused as much talk around town as did the original theft. Furey's threat thus enriched Roe buck to the extent of $180, and breath ing- in some quarters is easier, but just where Furey is benefited he couldn't figure out himself. It begins to look as if "Mayor" Griffin had decided to throw the young man over, since his outburst and threats, and let the im prisoned man take care of himself hereafter. Roebuck has all of his money now, and while the situation is decidedly embarrassing all around the concerted effort directed toward hush ing the matter up may prevent uny further investigation. Furey was sor* yesterday that his threat to "squeal" had leaked and was in a consuming rage. At the time he had set to make his revelations he was called upon by a reporter, but questions elicited only a surly answer. He raved at the re porter, the newspapers and every thing in general, and rammed about the corridor in a manner to be let se verely alone by the other prisoners. "You said if 'Mayor' Griffin did not get you out of jail by noon you would talk," suggested the reporter. "Go to the ," retorted Furey "You are a liar, so is the whole Dush Any time I make a sucker out of my self come around and ask me ques tions. I wasn't born yesterday you make me tired." "Well, but you know Roebuck got that $180 back, don't you?" " To with Roebuk. Get away from here and let me alone. I guess I know my business," and the irate young man took his corner. MKINLEY'S PROGRAMME. He "Will Start for Buffalo (text Taes ilay. BLUFF POINT, N. V., Aug. 21.—Sec retary of War Algrer came hack here today with the president, and will stay until the party leaves. The president arrived at 7 o'clock this morning but being fatigued after his trip remained in the private car until a late hour. Gen. Alger said that the present pro gramme of the president is to leav:» here on Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock and»go through to Buffalo on a special train, arriving there about 2 o'clock oc Wednesday. Dr. Depew's private car will be reserved for the use of the president and his immediate party, while a combination car will serve for the other guests. The party will go via Albany, instead of by the Saratoga and Schenectady route. Albany will bo reached by 7 a. m., but no stop beyond switching time will be made. Secretary of War Alger was asked as to the character of the report upon the fortifications for San Diego. He said: "My absence from here yesterday has delayed my examination of my busi ness letter. I have not seen the re port as yet. and I rather doubt if it is here yet. Later in the day I shall have a chance to examine it, if it proves to be among my mail." Ethan A. Hitchcock, of St. Louis, the newly appointed minister to Russia, arrived here today, and paid his re spects to the president. The vice presi dent and Mrs. Hobart were numbered among the missing when President McKinley returned. Mrs. Hobart has, for the past few days, been in poor health, and her physicians believed she would improve more rapidly at home. Upon this advice it was decided yes terday to return to New Jersey, and the vice presidential party left on a late afternoon train. It is expected that they will return later to finish out the season. Later, the president, Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. Abner McKinley, Miss McKinley, Secretary of War Alger, Mrs. Alger and Miss Alger, after witnessing dress parade by the soldiers of the nearby post, took a special train for Port Hen ry to be the guest of Frank Wither bee. Mr. Witherbee was the opponent in the last Republican convention or the congressional district of the pres ent congressman, Wallace T. Foote, and to some here today there was po litical significance in the visit. The party took dinner at Mr. Witherbee's. Before leaving, Gen. Alger said: "You may say that there has as yet no in timation reached me of the report on the harbor defenses of San Diego. The mail contains nothing of the kind."

MEMBERS SPEAK HIGHX.Y OF WI NONA STONE, BUT THAT ISN'T TAKEN TO MEAN THAT IT WILL. BE SELECTED. Mr. Senbnry Thinks It Will Be Sume Daytt Before a Deelftra In Reached. The members of the state capitol commission returned yesterday noon from their jaunt to Winona, whither they went to look at the quarries of the Winona limestone. The entire board, with the exception of Ed Weaver, went on the trip, and they crowded a great deal of sight-seeing into thirty six hours. On arriving at Winona they were met at the depot by a delegation of the prominent citizens of the place, and after dinner were taken in carriages to the quarries, about two miies from town. A careful examination was made with special reference to the quantity of stone in sight, its quality and the formation of the strata. Yesterday morning the board took the train for Bear creek, twenty miles distant, where another large quarry is located. The stone is practically the same kind as at Winona. The commissioners were well satisfied with the outlook and speak very highly of the stone— but whether or not it will enter into the construction of the new building is an other matter. It was determined not to hold a session of the board yestor day and the meeting now stands ad journed until Monday afternoon. Most of the out of town members left for their homes to spend Sunday. The headquarters of the board in the Endicott building were again thronged with interested contractors and stone men yesterday afternoon, and among the callers was Ed Weaver, one of the commissioners. He stated that he would be unable to attend the board for several days, but expressed a desire that the\commissioners would pay a visit to the Kettle river sand stone quarries before taking final ac tion, and also wished to be one of the party. It is very likely that they will visit several others of the quarries in this vicinity before arriving at a con clusion. All this means that the board will not let the contract for several days yet at least. Charming Seabury, the vice president, said to a reporter for the Globe that the matter will prob ably not be decided for some time; the board is anxious to investigate the merits of the different kinds of stone thoroughly before making its choice, and there is no prospect of an imme diate agreement upon anything. At any rate the contract will hardly be let without the presence of all the com missioners. 3 HEADED THIS WAY. Delegates Coining: tt> Attend the Con vention of DniKKiM.s. CHICAGO, Aug. 21.— About 100 dele gates to the forty-fifth annual meeting of the American Pharmaceutical asso ciation, which begins Aug. 23 at Lake Minnetonka, Minn., will arrive in Chi cago Monday morning. They will ren dezvous at the Great Northern hotel at 10 a. m., where they will met by committees of the Chicago Apotheca ries' society and the Chicago Retail Druggists' association, who are prepar ing a programme for the day's enter tainment. The visitors will leave at C p. m. on a special train over the Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway. About 500 delegates are expected at the meeting of the association, and all who pass through Chicago have been invited to stop here. Such druggists will be principally from the Central states and Mississippi valley. A ma jority of the delegates from the East met yesterday at Buffalo and took a steamer for Duluth. The Chicago re ception committee is headed by G. P. Engelhard, of the Western Druggist. The association was formed !n Phil adelphia in 1852, and has now 1,500 members. The association has heM yearly meetings, combining discussions and pleasure, the first five having been held in succession in Montreal, Den ver, Asheville, N. C; San Francisco and New Orleans.
