MEN OF SCIENCE IN COUNCIL

flow the American Association Is Being Entertained in Ontario's Capital. k Noted Gathering of Geologists, Chemist3t Physicists and Zoologists President Mendenliall and Other Indianians. torrespondence of the Indianapolis JonrarJ. Toronto, Ont, Aug. SO. The American Association for the Advancement of Science is at last holding a session, in Toronto. Many, but ineffectual, have been the endeavors of Ontario's capital and pride" to captnre the meeting. Persistence, as in many another affair of the heart, has won the day. As President Mendcnhall said in his response to greetings and welcomes that opened the meeting, 'tho association has vbeen carrying on a sort of flirtation with Toronto for some time.,v This is a city containing ranch to remind us of the fctates, yet more than enough to show ns that we are in a foreign country. The Queen's Hotel.the Queen's Park.tho Queen's University and a thousand other things of like character remind us that we are m a country which confesses allegiance nominally, at least to : a foreign and distant ruler; tho dress of the people, their speech, with its peculiar accent, and their "ither" and "nitber" emphasize and reiterato the fact. It istrne, too. the uniform politeness of every one, from the lowest to the highest, the cheerful temper, the moderate pace are a refreshing relief. The street-cars are commendablv brisk in their movements. bat come to a dead stop to let the middleaged gentleman get ini or off. The lo3'alty of tho average Canadian is of a demonstrative kind, everv allusion to the Queen al ways meeting with great applause, as iathe case in Germany with the ."hoch auf 7 to the Emperor. Y hen Alderman Dodds. in a neat little speech following the retiring . president's address in the beautiful Horticultural pavilion, brought in tho catch, 'rule Britannia, rule tho wave," he was cheered to tne echo; likewise when he exclaimed. "We, are separated by somo four thousand miles from the Queen, our Empress, yet wo are as lull of loyalty as though we basked under the sunshine of her presence." "With it all, however, one could not help but feel, "Verily ho doth protest too much." The welcome to the association -was a royal one, and the introductory speech-making by the new officers of the association, as well as the representatives of Toronto, were exceptionally brilliant. Auspicious as has been the opening of the jciation, cordial as has been its reception, the provisions for its sessions leave much to be desired. The University buildings, in which these take place, are at the extreme north of the citv, and at least a mile and si hilt from the principal hotels. The larger building in which most of the sections meet is rambling, some of the rooms, when discovered, being objectionable as to size or' . arrangement. The chemists meet in a building which is at least live minutes' walk from the other sections. The.geologists seem to have set up a counter attraction,' and on Thursday adjourned their section that they might participate in the meeting of the American Geological Society, which took placo in tire Normal School Hall, at least twenty-tive minutes distant from the main body of workers. All this has greatly detracted from the interest in the sections on the part of that largo body of members whose tastes are not rigidly specialized, and who llit from room to room throughout the day, listening to the papers in tho various departments that attract them by the title or by the reputation of the author. Whatever may be tho external attractions by way of excursions, Indianapolis can, undoubtedly, handle a largo body of visitors, whose species and purposes are similar to those of the A. A. A, S., in a manner much more to the profit and satisfaction of the members. cm tne occasion oi me rwo pudiic receptions thus far given the horticultural gardens and pavilion in the eastern quarter -vrero tastefully and brilliantly decorated with Chinese lanterns, the union jack and the stars and stripes. Upon the pillars of the gallery, in tho pavilion, were shields bearing tne names of Bacon, Darwin, Cuvier, llerschel, Lyell, Dana, Liebig. Laplace, Hooker, Asa Gray, Dalton aud Lubbock a brilliant constellation, which shines in . every quarter of the . field of scientific progress. r i a : a : : i greeting and intercourse these receptions were dismal failures. Many of the members came in full dress suits to find themselves admired at a distance. Whether the society he-e is too timid or too exclusive for such an indiscriminate affair as a public reception, or whether there is any society here at ail, still remains undetermined. The present session of the association is honored by the presence of an unusually large nnmber of the scientists of the country who have achieved national reputation. Among these one .naturally first - mentions the able and distinguished president of the thirty-eighth annual meeting, T. C. MenUenhall. the newly-appointed director of the United States Coast and Geodetic' Survey. So recently is he from Indiana that he is still claimed as the president of Kose Polytechnic Institute, a title which that institution must be very unwilling to transfer to another. Fertile in expedients, ' -wise and persistent in action, ready in wit, penial in manner, he instantly commands the respect- and admiration of alh The usual amount of biographical notices, illustrated by those newspaper abominations called plates, - without a particle of resemblance tu anything above the earth, on the earth or under the earth, appeared in tho Toronto papers and heralded the coming of the association. Ketiring President Powell, being unavoidably absent on government business connected with the irrigation of our western wastes, fonnd it necessary to send his presidential address to be read by. another. President Mendenhall, in presenting Mr. Powell's excuses, took occasion to ay that he was particularly sorry that the latter could not be present to live down, as others were tryingto do, some of the false impressions that had been scattered abroad in Toronto before the assembling v frS-SW UOOUV, lift t w - w ability and integrity with which Mr. Mendenhall will conduct the affairs of his present position may be readily made from the mauiier in which ho executed a previous trust under tho United States Signal Service. It had long been a mooted question whether observations of tho electric conditions of the atmosphere would be of service in efi'ecting more accurate weather predictions. To investigate this matter, a department was established, with Mr. Mendenhall aschief. Instead of dawdling along, as many would have done. And making his position practically perpetual, he prosecuted his work with vigor and despatch: the results of which will presently be available in tho form of a government report. As soon as ho had satisfied himself that the electric conditions of the atmosphere are of too local a character to be of service to the chief signal officer, he closed up the affairs of his department, and retired from his position aud its emoluments an excellent example of true civil-service reform. The people may confidently expect an efficient and economical administration of the affairs of his office, as a more competent organizer, a better judge of men, and a more complete master of uetail, is seldom found. Neither will the questious which the progress of science is rressmg upon our attention bo neglected, t is likely, for example, that a series of observations will be undertaken which will give us exact data upon the questions of continental oscillations a question of vast aTid increasing importance. The geologists have come down upon ns in the greatest numbers. One sees such well-known workers in this field as Dana, of New Haven: Hitchcock, of Amherst: Winchell. of Ann Arbor; James Hall, of New York; Chamberlain, of Wisconsin; L'ollett. of Indiana, and a host of others. Much interest centered in tho paper read en Thursday morning by that veteran, James 1. Dana, before the American Geological Society upon "Areas of Continental Progress in North America." Prof. Daua is a small, thin man, with long white hair, clerical habit, and features reminding one of Senator Evarts. His has been a long and arduous life, tilled with earnest work. Ecw there are among us who are not in some way indebted to him. James Hall, the president of the Geological Society, is a large, rouust. benevolent old man, with long gray hair and beard. His classical voxk in New York has given the local

.names of that State to the continent.

Trenton limestone, Utica shale, Niagara limestone, Genesee shale, and many others have become very common words in Indiana, even among those who make no scientitc pretensions. Though seventyfive or eighty j-ears of age, Prof. Hall is still vigorous and full of energy and ambition. Many others of the geologists, including onr own John Collctt, are worthy of individual mention, but space forbids. In looking over the geological section. one is impressed with the largo number of distinguished-looking old men among them, and cannot help reflecting that here is one of the earliest branches of modern science whoso devotees have grown old in the service. Among the chemists there are present such men as Remsen, of Baltimore, whose chemical works are translated into German and recommended, to his students by no less an. authority than Prof. Uaeyer, of Munich: I'rof. liarker," of Philadelphia, whoso classical work in nomenclature has been translated into many languages; Prof. Wiley, of Washington, so well known in connection with various governmental investigations in applied chemistry; Prof. Atwater. of Middletown, Conn., the author of tho series of articles recently published in the Century upon the chemistry of food, and now engaged in systematic - work in agricultural chemistry, of which' he has the general oversight and for the prosecution of which the government recently made an appropriation of $600,000. Among tho distinguished physicists are President Mendenhall. Professor Eddy, of " Cincinnati; Professor Carhart, of Ann Ar bor; Professor Nichols, of Cornell; Frofessor Gray, of Terce Haute, well known in connection with his researches on earthquakes while in Japan, by his electrical work in Glasgow with Sir William Thompson, and his contributions to the last edition of Encyclopedia Britannica. The astronomers and mathematicians unite in forming Section A, but this year the former have appeared in great numbers, while the latter have been silent. However, our astronomers and mathematicians are at work, and are not modest in their claims, allowing Vico-president Woodward, of Washington, to interpret them. In his vice-presidential address ho claims the earth as the inheritance of this section. Besides Woodward one sees in this section such well-known men as Harkness and Eastman, of Washington: Newton, of Yale; lieeman, of Ann' Arbor: Hyde, of Cincinnati, and Cuiustock, of Madison. k Among zoologists are Morse, of Lynn, whose contributions to the literature of evolution are quite large, who has a marvelous command of language and fascinating facts, and whose powers of r black-board delineation and illustration are incredible. Butler, of Brookville, tho father of the Iudiana Academy, is a shining light in this section. Tho vice-president, Hill, of tho section on economics, dared to preach protection in his address. As a result he finds himself lauded to the skies by the Globe, while the Mail has transfixed him with sarcasm and contempt. The anthropological section has the good fortune to number among its members the Ecrmanent secretary, F. W. Putnam, who as now served the association for many years and very acceptably in that capacity, liy his exertions it was that the great "serpent mound" of Ohio has been bought and E reserved an enduring monument of prelstoric times. Other and important movements in the same line owe their inception and execution to the same master hand. The ladies have attended the meetings of the association in large numbers, but they have not been as prominent as usual in the presentation and discussion of papers. This is to be regretted, as they frequently add very much to the interest by their participation. Among tho distinguished ladies present may bo mentioned Mrs. Henrietta Wolcott, of Bolton, Mass. Tho ladies of Toronto have taken special care to make the-visit of the ladies from tho States agreeable and memorable. Several rides about the city have been given complimentary to tho visitors, and a number of afternoon entertainments have been given in their honor. Next Tuesday night the sessions of the thirty -eighth meeting will close. At that time the place of the next meeting will be announced. Present indications are that the thirty-ninth meeting will go to Indianapolis. Most of the members will return to their homes from hero, but many will take advantage of the numerous excursions offered and visit somo of the many places of interest in tho Dominion. C. A. Waldo. LABOR-DAY MATTERS. . Why Sir. Taylor Declined to Preach a Sermon . at the Kequest of the Knights. Rev. W. F. Taylor, pastor of the First Baptist Church, prefaced his discourse yesterday morning with .remarks in which he gave his reasons for not complying with the request-of tho Knights of Labor circular, which had beeen sent to all cf the city pastors, asking that sermons bo preached yesterday in tho interest of labor. . Mr. Taylor stated to a Journal reporter last night that it was from no lack of sympathy for the demands of the Knights that he had determined to refuse their request, for. he ' said, he could 6ee justice in much that they held out as their belief and policy. "But," he insisted, "in my introductory sermon! in Indianapolis I claimed that )reachinar was utterance given by the loly.; Spirit in answer to tho prayer of Jod's people, and I could not at all times answer the requests of men out of the churchto preach upon any theme which they might desire. I have other reasons, also. Tho first Sunday of each month is set apart for communion services in our church, and the sermon on that day, above all others, should prepare my congregation for the Lord's supper. I do not look upon the exclusive interests of the laboring man as a subject exactly appropriate for such a preparation. The Knights of Labor, I understand, made no arrangements to attend church to-day, and, as I take it, they wanted me to simply present t heir interests to church-going geople. "Another thing, that influenced me was the wordin g of the ci rcular itself. I regretted it very much, and I think tho committee who wrote it would havo done well to have called upon some Christian minister for assistance. It addressed us as the 'exalted ministers and was signed by the 'Noble and Holy Order of tho Knights of Labor.' The term : 'exalted is borrowed from the old Roman hierarchy and is not applicable to a minister. We aim, rather, to be humble than exalted. And for a man to sign himself as a representative of a holy order it is blasphemy. Only God is holy, and as the circular confesses that tho Knights know no religion, I felt justified in refusing to comply with its demand." TheTicnics and Parade. The arrangement for tho celebration of to-day in labor circles havo not been changed from the details published yesterday. Tho organizations allied with the Central Labor Union will move in procession at 0:30joclock this morning al5ig the followinglineof march: Beginning atthecornerof Washington and Mississippi streets, east to East street, north to Market, west to Circle, northwest to Meridian, west to Illinois, south to Union Depot, where the column will break ranks. - 1 ho first train for Hammond Grove will be in readiness when the parade is over, at 11 o'clock, and will run every hour thereafter. At the grove addresses, music, dancing and refreshments will constitute tha day's programme. The Knights of Labor, are anticipating a large crowd at the fair grounds, where their celebration will be held. Street cars will be run to and from the grounds at short inter vals. Although no parade will be made, there will be several good addresses made this afternoon, In addition to the other attractions, horse-racing will be added to the day'a programme. German Orphans Home. The trustees of the German Orphans" Home held their annual meeting yesterday, to receive the reports of officers regarding the operations of the institution during the past year. From the several reports submitted the following figures were taken: Number of children in the home at last report, d; received during the s;ear, 13: bound out, 6; returned to relatives or friends, 15; number now in the institution, M, of whom are D03-S and 22 are girls. The financial statement shows receipts during the year of SO.W'rfUM. and expenditures of $7,450.10. leaving a balance of 6.41o.5S, of which sum $7bU.c belongs to the wards. The society has $13,61 1.04 at interest. Council and Aldermen, i Council will meet to-night in regular session, aud at the samttime the aldermen, on a call from their president, will meet to consider matters of special interest.

A COMPEOMISE ON JEWETT

Voorhees arid Gray Factions Will Not Trust Each Other as Party Managers. The Suggestion to Make the Ex-Governor Chairman of the Committee Aroused the Wrath and Opposition of Foorhees's Followers. After a delay of nearly two months, in which the availability of nearly , every prominent Democrat in the State had been discussed, the party has practically decided that Chairman Jewett shall continue as the ostensible head of the committee, and no change is ; probable before the close of the township canvasses next spring. The friends both of Governor Gray and Senator Voorhees have found that they cannot reach an amicable understanding regarding the disposition of the chairmanship, and the leaders have concluded that it will bo better to await the actual inauguration of the State campaign before placing another at the head of the party committee. ' While there is an intimation that Jewett himself would like to go to the Senate as Voorhees's successor, Gray and the Senator do not regard him as a formidable opponent, and are not disposed to push the matter of Jus, resignation. In fact, Gray is said to nave advised against the step on - tHo part of Jewett, for the reason that his resignation at this time is almost certain to result in the selection of a pronounced Voorhees adherent for theposition. A Terre Haute Democrat who was in the city last week said that the committee was practically fixed in its choice of a chairman should Jewett resign, aud that under such circumstances his successor would certainly come from the section of the State in which Voorhees was most popular. Whatever might be his individual preference between Gray and Voorhees, local pressure would be such that he could not manage the campaign in the interest of the former. "There are a number of Voorhees's friends," aid he, "who would accept the chairman-ship-rather than see it go to Gray or any man who may be considered his particular supporter. Among these is the elder McNutt, of Terre Haute, who would not have the position under any circumstances unless it was to prevent the State campaign from being run against Voorhees's interest. The friends of the Senator have been doing but little talking dnring the agitation of electing a new chairman,' but they have been thoroughly , organized, And when the time comes they will show their hands in a way that will ' surprise some of the small-fry politicians who think that Gray is to be the next United States Senator from Indiana. They have been fully prepared for such an attempt as was recently foreshadowed to place the committee in Gray's hands, but the moment the scheme ripened would have been the signal for one of the hottest factional fights that has ever been seen in the State. In fact. Gray would -have found that his friends upon the committee, were decidedly in a minority, and a Terre Haute man would havo carried off the honors. The committee, if not run in the interest of Voorhees, would certainly not havo been run against him. The matter was arranged by John K. Lamb, and there was a perfect understanding between every friend of Voorhees upon the committee." The same gentleman is authority for the statement that Gray's refusal to be'eonsidered for the chairmanship was the result of somo advice which he received from tho 'Pocket" statesmen just after he returned from the West. He found that Ed Kichardeon and others, whom he supposed willing to indorse his selection, were very doubtful of its propriety. They stated to him that such a course could not fail to arouso' factional feelings, aud it was better for all concerned that the chairmanship should'. eitner remain wnere it was. or that some one, not a pronounced friend ocither himself or of Voorhees, should be selected. This advice was based upon rather a curious condition of affairs in the "Pocket," which, while illustrating the impolitic conduct of the Evausville Courier, made it im: possible for Gray to secure a cordial support from that section of the State as chairman of the State central committee. "The Courier," said the Journal's in-, form ant, "was the most pronounced opponent that Gray had during his canvass for the nomination for . Governor against Landers, and the -paper said many hard things about him, declaring that he had come into the party for ollice, and that he could not be elected if nominated for the governorship. Day after day the Courier's columns were full of abuse, and when Landers was nominated, the defeat of Gray was called a personal victory for the Shanklins. One of them was then Secretary of State, and the paper was really controlled by him in all its attacks UDon Gray. FourVear later the Courier took no hand in the fight against Gray, but Tather indorsed him by saying nothing against him a change that would naturally result to his advantage wherever tho paper had influence. Shortly after this Shanklin went tto Washington after an appointment, but, like a good many Indianians, returned without being recognized. He attributed his disappointment to Voorhees aud Hendricks, and soon after a series of editorials appeared in the Courier advocating a change of leadership. This turned the Democratic friends of Hendricks and Voorhees against the paper, and when the Courier sought to bring Gray forward as the leader who was to supplant the Vicepresident and tho Senator the change of heart was so strange that even the 'Pocket' Democrats could not stand it. They recalled the abuse that had been heaped upon Gray four years before, and as much of the prejudice then aroused continued to exist against Gray, it grew in intensity when the Courier sought tc put hira forward as tho party leader in the State. The first effects of this spirit, as it affected Gray, was seen last year, when the convention sought to indorse his candidacy for the vice-presidency. George Shanklin and Congressman Cobb were on the committee on resolutions, and when they met to transact the business they were forced to throw their votes against the resolutions of indorsement 'because they were so instructed by their constituency,' though they gave it moral support by saying that 'they individually approved of it. This was the meeting before the State convention that passed tho resolution instructing the delegates to the national convention to vote for him. This prejudice still exists against Gray, and the fact that the Courier caused it to exist is a 6oarco of mortification to the Shanklins. now that they want every body to regard Gray as the leading Democrat of the State. They are for him for the Senate, and bitterly opposed to Voorhees, but this very fact is working to Voorhees's advantage in the Courier's territory. "Thus the attacks of eight years ago are beginning to bear fruit, and the Shanklins would willingly destroy the files of the Courier could the act destroy the prejudice that exists against Gray, and which they were instrumental in engendering. The appointment oi Judge Parrott's successor Iroru Vanderburg county, when Evansville had the judgeship for years, has added to this prejudice, and, the Democrats claim, f avo Posey county over to tho Republicans. Iven Gray's friends blame him for that appointment, and, of course, his enemies are making the most of it." . Their Choice for Aldermen. The aldcrmanic ticket of the Democrats Is: First District Christian On", stove dealer; fi. G. Green, traveling apent. Second District -John J. Cooper, ex-Treasurer of State: Christian F. Meyer, collector; Gilbert Martin, laborer. Third District Michael IL FarrelL marbleclilcr Fourth District Henry Laut, tinner; Timothy Clark, turnkey at the Jail. Fifth District Julius F.Belnecke, grocer; John J. Blackwell, engineer. Another Opponent of Keller. Another candidate has been added to the list of Democratic aspirants for. Council in the Twenty-second ward,, William Koss having announced himself yesterday. The New County Treasurer. County Treasurer elect Osterman will go into office Wednesday. He has appointed as book-keeper; r Frank Millers who was chief deputy under United States Marshal

Hawkins. His selection of deputies and clerks Mr. Osterman is not ready to announce. , . , ... - x SPIRITUALISTIC MANIFESTATIONS. Prof. Tan Horn's Power as a Medium Exhibited at Mansur Hall to Many Believers. Man sur's nail was filled with people, S00 or more, last night to see and hear Prof. G. G. W. VauIIorn, a noted epiritualist of New York city, who appeared there to givo some "manifestations" to the Association of Spiritualists that meets in the hall each Sunday. All the mediums in the audience were invited to take front seats. After prayer by Mrs. Taylor, D. A. Ralston, president of the association, delivered a lecture on the "Philosophy of Life." This occupied an hour or more, after which, when tho audience had sung "Shall We Gather at the River!" to bring about the proper "conditions," Professor Vanllorn began his manifestations. Stepping down from the platform and looking intently at a very lleshy lady at the left end of the first row of chairs, he began: ;I see a spirit near you which says that you have peculiar conditions, that you heal diseases; is that sol" The lady answered in the affirmative. "When you were twenty-seven," the Professor continued, "you came near to passing over the riven is that true!" "Yes, sir." "But before that, at seventeen, yon had a strange phase of xnedinmship, and now they they say that you are a J umbo." "There's a spirit, ' said the Professor, turning to another lady, "by your side, with a dark mustache and a Prince Albert coat and a red blossom decoration on his coat lapel. He says he is an associate spirit, and belongs to you. He asks do you know who Jennie is?" . "What's his name!" inqnired the lady. "He doesn't give it. There is a spirit here that gives the name of Harriet Clay. It is a Quaker spirit, and belongs to some person back there. The spirit belongs to the lady with the red flowers in her hat, and comes in contact with her. There's another named Joanna Jones comes in, too, and Elsie Morris. These spirits belong to that group of people over there. There's a spirit says he wants to meet his wife. It is near that lady there (in the third row of seats), and wants to see his daughter. He says his name is Arnold." "That's my husband," was the repiy. ' "And who is Charles?" asked the professor. "His brother. And there's John Arnold, who passed over many years ago. He holds up both his hands.'' "Yes, ten years." The Professor here turned toward M. J. Vieira and began talking to him in a foreign tongue. Mr. Vieira evidently didn't understand very well, but said ho thought it was Italian. The Professor translated it, but the information was neither better nor worse than what had preceded it. The Professor then discovered the spirit of a Captain Brown hovering about a black bonnet with white flowers. He also mentioned the spirits of John J. Adams and Sarah and Carrie Martin, none of whom were acknowledged by any one present. The Professor next got his eye upon a man in tho middle oi the hall. "That gentleman, with mixed beard," he said, pointing him out, "possesses powers but cannot use them. Weren't you in the army!" "1 have been." . "Yon came near getting your final departure while crossing a bridge, the shells were exploding near you " . "Yes, sir." "And an ofiicer fell by your side!" . "Yes, sir; that's correct." "You have had close calls, but it was by special intervention that you have been saved." The Professor then fixed his eyes upon a lady in the front row. "I see a spirit near you that calls Ec.' " 7 "My husband sometimes calls me Eccles; .j that's my name." - "Do you want to see how he walks? The Professor folded his arms, threw cat hi$ chest and walked forward and back before the platform. "That's right," phe said laughing. "I see," said tho operator, turning toward tno platform and addressing Mrs. Potts, .who sat thereon, T see the spirit of Thomas A. Hendricks. He says he is glad you have sought the light. Along with tnim is another spirit, William William ,Addeson. The spirit of Mr, Hendricks says he knows more now concerning the .beauties of the spiritual world."' Soon after this the manifestations wero brought to a close and tho audience was dismissed.

SOMETHING OF A PLAYEH HIMSELF. , Wealthy Kansas City Cattleman Beaten Out of $20,000 by a Chicaffo Poker Sharp. Kansas City, Sept 1. Chief of Police Spears wants Bud Guion of Chicago. Mr. Guionis a gaipbler. He came tolvansas City a week ago and registered at one of the prominent hotels, giving k it out that he was a cattlo-buytT from New York. Mr. Cornelias C. Quinlan, are of the most prominent sellers of cattle in the Southwest, with headquarters in this city, ras stopping at tho same hotel, and he cultivated the acquaintance of Mr. Guion. Their acquaintance ripened into intimacy.' Mr. Guion proposed a little game of- poker. Mr. Quinlan is something of a poker player himself. They went to Mr. Guion's room. Among the furniture there was a handsome inlaid table, a present, as Mr. Guion described it, that he prized very highly. The poker game was played on this table. The first night Mr. Quinlan lost his ready cash. The next night he went "heeled', with $13,000 in cash. He went away without it. The third night 34,000 in cash was won by Mr. Guion, together with a like amount in promissory notes, his watch and chain and two diamond studs and a diamond ring. ; The Kansas City man becanJe suspicious then, and the next morning he notified the chief of police that he had been swindled. But Guion had lied, and now it is alleged that the inlaid table assisted him to a marked degree in winning some $20,000 from Quinlan. . j Their Action Was Indorsed.. To the Editor of the Inrti-napoUs Journal: The following resolution was pased at the G. A. R. encampment at Milwaukee by a unanimous vote: Resolved, That the Joint action of the eom-mander-in-chief and the department commanders to secure for the comrades a rate of one cent per mile to and from the encampment meets the hearty approval of this-body, and we hereby extend the thanks of the encampment to thosejrailway and transportation companieo that conceded such rate. This resolution was introduced and passed without the request of either of the eight department commanders who met at Chicago on July 2 last and took the initiative steps which led to securing the one-cent-per-mile rate upon all the roads except the Chicago & Northwestern and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. I desire to supplement the above resolution with the thanks of the Indiana delegation to the railroads in our State (especially the Monon route, which was the mst to otter a rate of one cent per mile) for their fair treatment. It came too late to secure a large attendance from Indiana, but I am proud to say no department in the grand parade received, more cheers or more kindly consideration than did tho "Hoosiers."

They're Back Numbers Anyhow. Boston Journal. '- . We strongly suspect that the alleged "Republican clubs" of Baltimore which have -adopted resolutions in favor of the spoils system are not Republicans at all, but some of Boss Gorman's henchmen in disguise.
