A MEETING OF COMMANDERS

Generals McCook and Wallace Greet Each Other After a Long Separation. A Very Ilappy Tarty of Old Companions in Arms at the Denison Last Night The Army School at Leavenworth. Gen. A McD. McCook. U. S. A.; Car-t George 1L Peck, general solicitor of the Atchison, Topeka &, Santa Fe railroad system, with 3Irt. Peck; Capt, J. L. Stretch, U. S. A., and Mr. W. II. Kossington, of Topeka, arrived on the 2:50 train yesterday from St. Louis, tho guests of the Indiana Commandery of the Loyal Legion. They were met at the station by Major Comly and a committee of the Legion and escorted to the Denison. As soon as they had Arrived Gen. Lew Wallace came in, and the meeting -with General McCook was such as only takes place between old comrades. They had commanded divisions at Shiloh and had participated in a number of battles together. "McCook," . said General Wallace, I am so glad to see you, and to seo you here as the guest of our commandery. How well yon are looking. Ouo would thing that you were a young man." M am always glad to see you, Lew," replied the representative of the most famous fighting family in tho late war, ''and I am glad to 6eo you so well for an old man you aro the youngest-looking old man I ever saw, and to seo you was one of the inducements to mako this long journey." General McCook is one of the ten sons, who, with their father, served in the Union army durintr the civil war. Allrosoin the lino of promotion, Alexander, however, being tho only graduate from West Point, lor nine years he has been at the head of what is known aa the Infantry and Cavalry School, at Fort Leavenworth. He gave some facts To a Jonrual reporter last night ..v.: i. i ii x - i . muicu nuow mat me scnooi is now progressin k rapidly on a firm basis. "It was organized," said he, "in 1881, but for a few years there was not much accomplished. We were just beginning, you know, iust trying to get a start, But gradually the institution improved, until now it is in most excellent shape." "Is it limited to infantry and cavalry officers only!" "Yes. There are several schools for the artillerv and engineering officers at other places, but we only take the infantry and cavalry. Our system is being constantly improved and perfected. We have about thirty-live students now. but could accom modate seventy. The instruction we give is in tne higher art of war strategy, veterinary practice, building ramparts and embankments, and similar branches. All of the officers who are detailed to the scnooi must be proficient in tactics and the movements of war, although they are examined in it" "How is admission to tho school secured!" "By appointment. The colonel of a division details one man to the school, and as soon' as he completes the course another takes his place, in that way a great many can be accommodated. If a young man fails to pass the examinations with ns there is no penalty except his own humiliation and disgrace. His commission is not taken away from him." "Is it necessary that your students must firsthave graduated from West Point!" "No, they may come, by appointment, from the rank and file of the army. Some of our best men never graduated from West Point. Nor is there much difference between the two classes, except that the West Point graduates show that they have had a thorough mental training, and for that reason their minds are a little clearer, perhaps. Our school is the onlv one of its kind in this country, and we think we have cause to be proud of the advance it has made and is making." Captain Peck is a Western man, and served with distinction in a Wisconsin regiment from private to captain before ho was twenty-one. He was United States district attornej in Kansas during General Grant's last term, and was reappointed by President Hayes, but resigned to accept a position in the law department of the Santa I o railroad, of which he nas been tho head for some years. Captain 8tretch is a native of Indiana, a graduate of West Point, and Mr. Kossington came with captain jrecK. uurmg tno evening a number of ex-soldiers and citizens called to pay their respects to the visitors. Many pld battles were fought over, and many interesting remimscenses of tne re bellion and Indian wars were told by Generals McCook and Wallace. "Well, Uncle Lew." said uenerai jJicuooK. "it did me good to see you. I was a boy while you were yet an oia soiuier." That pleases me," said General Wallace. "particularly since you connect it witn a story of bmgin the service thirty -four years ago. ' "I am trying to avoid beincr an old sol dier." remarked Captain Peck, who is one of the yonnger soldiers of the war. Meo I tell that I was n drummer-boy, too young to be a soldier." The visitors will be given a reception at tne legion neaciqtinrters at noon to-day, and by the Columbia Club at 1 o'clock. They will remain in the city until Saturday noon, -when they will return to Kansas. OBSERVANCES OF THE FOURTH. No General Demonstration, but There Will Be Many Things to Mark the Event. The rain last night seemed to give the assurance that the Fourth of July might possibly bo celebrated with some degree of comfort, which could not be the case were the melting weather of tho earlier days of the week repeated. There will be no demonstration in the city save the sporadic pyrotechnic displays of the small boys, and probably a greater number of people will betake themselves to the woods than ever before. The Sunday-school celebra tion at Fairview Park will draw by far the greatest of these departing crowds, and it is devoutly to bo wished that tho electric MI V - cars win oe managed in sucn a way as to be some little of tho convenience they were expected to be. It is not likely that the electric alone can manago the traffic, and the patient mule will again bo brought into requisition. Most of the bus iness houses in the city will close, as there will be little or no inducement to keep open with everybody out of town. The decoration? that were put out for the 1st will be greatly added to, and there is no donbt that more bunting will be flying on tne l ourtn tnan at any previous celebration of the Nation's birthday in this city. Sports for the Fourth. There will be plenty of amusement to-day in the way of sports, athletic and otherwise. Tho trouble in the Indianapolis ball club has been smoothed over, and the scheduled games will be played at League Park. In the morning game the batteries will be llurke and Sharp for Indiauanolis, and Harrington and Sommers for Evcusville. Tho game will be called at lOo'cleck, and tho homo team is in good trim to win it. The players last night seemed to want a chance to wipo out their foolish action of Wednesday, and all claimed they would go in to win to-day. The afternoon batteries will be liehno and Lucke3 Dolan and Trost. and tho camo will commence at 4 o'clock. These championship contests should draw out big crowds. Andy Sommers, who has always 1 t?"?n a favorite here, should prove a drawing card. He has been under tne weatlier lor a weeK past, out is ail nirht now and will show his friends some ball-playing to-day. JSommers will cover hrst base in the afternoon game. At the Capitnl City Gun Club's park at Brighton Beach Georgo Beck, of this city, and Mid, of ist. L,ouis, will try conclusions in a lifty-bird match for $100 a side. The event will begin promptly at 2, o'clock, and will not consume over an hour. The birds are a nicked lot. and nro expected to furnish line shooting. Beck has been quietly at work nracticing for a week or more, and is in very tine form. If Mead wins he will have to come pretty close to xnaKing a clean score. There are to be a number of field contests at V. M. C A. Park, and ftoux tho good

sized entry list In each event there will be some exciting work. At tho close of

tho held-dav programme the iSews and Remingtons will play a game in the Y. M. C. A. championship series. In addition to these events tnere will be numerous games of ball at tho various grounds in and about tho city. 1 ho ama teurs will bo out in full force, and it is safe to say there will not be an unoccupied base-ball diamond within a radius of many miles. A Patriotic Service. A patriotic service will be held in tho Tabernacle Presbyterian Church this morn ing, at 10:30 o'clock, under the auspices of tho Loyal Legion of Indiana, to which the public is cordially invited. The programme will be as follows: Orsan Keeital (Patriotic) Prof. R. A. Newland invocation Chaplain m. i names Hymn "America" By the Audienco Fonc (Duet) "Voices of Freed nm Oration Companion Georgo K. Peck Kansas Commandery. Hymn (Quartet and Chorus) "xne uattie llyrnn or tae Kepuiuic" Benediction Rev. J. A. Rondthaler, D. D. The church has been handsomely dec orated for the service, and tho exercises will not exceed an hour and a quarter. Tho music will bo suited to the occasion, and those who know tho orator promise an ad dress which it will be a rare treat to hear. Gen. Lew Wallace, the commauder of tho Indiana Commandery, will preside. Mail Facilities for the Day. The postoffice will be open until noon to day. The carriers will make their regnlar morning delivery and afternoon collection. and will also make a hotel delivery and collection in the evening. To Deliver Orations. Secretary of State Griffin left last night for Hammond, where, he will deliver a Fourth of Julv oration this morning. Capt. John Worrel will be the orator at Ben Davis to-day. PROHIBITION LN KANSAS. Original Packagea.'ftistnrb Affairs hut the Is sue Will Be Continued in the Courts. Captain George 11. Peck, of Topeka, Kan., was met at the Denison House last evening by a Journal reporter. The Captain is em- I inent as a lawyer, and during a conversation which ensued expressed himself on the original package, now a burning question in Kansas. "My State," said the Captain, "is absolutely for Prohibition. Of course, in the Constitution an exception is made in liquors for mechanical, medicinal and scientific purposes, bat otherwise it is for prohibition. For the last year there has . been a great deal of talk about tho resubmission of the question of prohibition to the people, but the sentiment of the State is overwhelmingly against it. The origi nal-package decision has opened up a number of other questions connected with the issue. Original-package houses have been opened in several towns, but the local au thorities have arrested the men engaged in them.'7 "Has there been any violence?" "No. but the neoDlo are in earnest and feel that these dealers are taking advant age of what they consider a mere technical construction of the law. There have been some threats made, some meetings have been held and there will be a great mass convention on tne lothinst. at Topeka to give expression on this original-package business. There has been no violence thus far, but there is a good deal of warm blood in Kansas, and they are lighting people." "What are the legal questions involved!" lhere are a number, and some very grave ones. There is the Question, what constitutes an original package? The de cision of Judge Caldwell is to the effect that an original package is such a one as is shipped separately, by itself, constituting an entire shipment For instance, to sell beer by the bottle it must have been shipped as a single bottle a bottle could not be taken out of a case and be sold as an original package. Another serious ques tion will arise under the bill of senator Wilson, should it become a law. This bill leaves it to the State to determine what shall bo a proper subiect of traffic. The question that is being largely, dis cussed among our lawyers now is inTelation to this Wilson bill, and is whether the present prohibitory law, which, under the decision of the Supreme Court, is unconstitutional and void, in so far as it attempts to prohibit the sale of liquor in original packages, will have to bo re-en acted subsequent to the passage of thelifjl l ill k m . a. At t i wiison Din, or wneiner inat om win validate the existing law in that respect." "in any event there will be litigation! 7 "Yes. and a great deal of it. and a large amount of trouble. Then there comes along the question whether the Wilson bill itself is constitutional and whether Con gress has authority to surrender to a State a power which the Constitution of the United States has vested in Congress. Of course, no one can tell what the outcome will be, but it is certain that the sentiment of the State is, and, I have no doubt will remain, overwhelmingly in favor of prohi bition. Unless prevented byconstitutional reasons, prohibition will remain tho set tled policy of Kansas." ' 4i 1 - Knights of Pythias at Milwaukee. Next week the Supreme Lodge and Na tional Encampment of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, will begin at Milwau kee, and it is expected that nearly three thousand Indiana Knights will, on next Monday, set out for that city, nearly one thousand of whom will go from Indianap olis. The seven Indianapolis divisions will leave by special train on Sunday evening. The Indiana brigade will bo commanded by Brig.-Gen. James R. Ross, who will be ac companied by his full stall'. Since the last session of the Supreme Lodge brigado or ganizations have been completed in Minnesota, Tennessee and Wisconsin, and such organizations now exist in sixteen States, while there are regimental organizations in eleven States. Ohio has 100 divisions. Indiana conies next with GO. and Illinois third with 52. General Carnahan, who com mands the Uniform Hank, is not an avowed candidate for re-election to that position. but he stands in such favor that he will probably be re-elected by acclamation. Good Place for a Peace Officer. The executive committee of the Law and Order League did not meetyesterday after noon, as the work as laid out made such a meeting unnecessary. The 6iib-comniittees are carrying out the details of the work as signed them, and many names ' have1 been gathered of persons who will be called be fore the grand jury to testify concerning Sunday desecration at Coy's and other re sorts. A member or the committee inti mated to the reporter that among these witnesses would be a number of citizens holding hich official position. "On last Sunday," said this member, "while the game of base-ball was going on at Coy's, and the beer-glasses merrily clinked, Isaac King, sbcritl of this county, occupied a comfortable position in the amphitheater. overlooking the proceedings, lie is a peace officer, required to see that tho law is not violated in his presence." Hard to Keep Track of His Son. John Kealing recently reported to the de tectives that his tine shotgun, which he valued at $65, had disappeared, together with a good suit of clothes and v2 in money. The gun was recovered yesterday liv dtrtivn l'nirf frnm (2:iisford's spenrwihand store, where it had been pawned for 50 by Keaiing a son r.uwarn. wno uaa oeen fininmntn in the Reform School. About a month previously he pawned his mother's watch, which was shortly recovered, ine son used the $5 to hire a horse and buggy frnrn f!ook'a liverr stable, which he, has not vet returned, though this occurred a week since. A Light Cannes Incitement. The people of Irvington were cxcitedyesterday morning over tho supposed presenco of a burglar in a vacant house from which a light was seen to be shining by a young man on his way home. He aroused the people of tho village, and they armed cap-a-pie and besieged tho hou.se. only to find that the lady of the house, who is temporarily living at a neighbor's, had gone home on the Yenins before and left a light burning.

STREET-RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS. Irvington Will Have Her Line, and the Power : of the Electric Railway Is to Be Increased. J. C. Shaffer reached home from New York yesterday afternoon. A Journal reporter found him ready to talk on streetcar subjects, and in reply to a question about the Irvington line, which daily becomes of more interest as Aug. 1 draws near, he said tho Irvington people will have rapid transit by the time agreed upon. 'The power to be used," he continued 'has not been definitely decided. I havo been In correspondence with electric-motor manufacturers wherever I conld find them, trying to securo a proper motor for the line, and negotiations are pending which, I expect, will result with success. J am ready, however, to make a moro specific statement. In my efforts I think I havo written to every man with eve an invention in his mind. But the response

has been in most cases, even where advertised in the -street-railway journals, that the motors were not yet on the market, not perfected, or something of tho kind. The storage-battery system is in use on some lines, but it is very expensive. The expense lies in bat teries, motors, weight, and leakage. 1 do not think any progress has been made in so improving this system as to mako it generally practicable. It stands just whore it did six months ago." "Do you not Jiko tho Thompson-Houston system f" "les. that has proved perfectly satis factory so far. The two dynamos in use are strong enough to allow the use of two trailers each, as we intended, but to do so would test them to the maximum, instead of doing so, I concluded to purchase another one. and have iust received tho contract from the Thompson-Houston Company, agreeing to deliver the dynamo by July 15. The price is S4.500 for tho one generator. In addition I have also bought 200 tons of new rails, and will make tho track new from the Union Sta tion clear out toFairviowPark. I havo also purchased four new open cars for the Irvington line. They are similar to our open horse-power cars in use." The electric line is considered completed. and the Thompson-Houston men will leave for their homes to-day. The manager, Mr. Twiname, said that the dynamos now in use have frequently done work requiring two hundred horse power, and that it another aynamo is put in the engine would require twenty pounds more of steam pressure to run them all. There is a loss of 10 per cent, steam power in making electric power, and as each dynamo is eighty horse-power, tno three would have a very narrow margin in a 250 borso-power engine, unless additional steam pressuro is used. Each motor car,' of which there are ten. will pull a trailer to-day, and leave the Union Station every ten minutes. I he line is in good shape, and the minimum of trouble is expected. The now cars for tho Irvington line were first used last night. They are finely finished and have an aisle down the center. just like a railway coach. The seats aro eight in number on eacn sine, and nave reversible backs. THE FRESH AIR MISSION. Officers of the Organization and Standing Com mittees to Look After Details of Work. The executive committee of the fresh air mission met at Plymouth Church yesterday morning and organized by electing officers as follows: President, Oscar C. McCulloch; vice-president, Rev. M. L.

Judge Martindale Returns from Chicago Pleased with What Has Already Been Done. Jndgo E. B. Martindalo returned home yesterday from Chicago, where he attended the ihcctine of tho world's fair com mission. "He figured qui to prominently in the work that was accomplished, it being upon his motions that a permanent president and a site for the fair were selected. "The "mooting which closed yesterday," said he to a reporter, "was tho lirst that has been called, and everything moved off nicely. It didn't take long to select a president, although every State in the Union was represented. Mr. Depew was talked of, but he declined the place, and tho commission decided unanimously in favor of Gen. Thomas W. Palmer, of Detroit. There was not a dissenting voice. Tho work of organization was only a matter of time, the committee of twelve who were appoiuted to select tivo vice-presidents bringing in a report in very short order." "Did the selection of a site give general satisfaction to the people of Chicago?' "Yes; I think ao. There could not be a better jilace in the world in which to hold a fair. Jackson Park has five hundred acres, and it is the intention to redeem from 200 to 250 acreage on the lake front The location is beautifully situated, and the opportunities for railroad transportation are almost unlimited. The prospects, in fact, are very good for tho graudest fair tho world has ever known, feome of the wealthiest men in Chicago are interested in it, and are working in earnest. In the board of directors I can point out teu men who are worth $10,000,000 each, and they are doing all they can to make the event a successful one." Bitten by a Dog. A child of Mrs. Olla Deyga, No. 103 West South street, was severely bitten, yesterday, by a savage dog, one of the worthless mongrels that nobody owns. A crowd of men collected and made an attempt to kill the brute, but failed till Captain Lang ar rived, and shot and beat it to death. Walls's General and Specific Denials. Tho prosecution in the Walls disbarment proceedings rested its side of the case yesterday morning. Mr. Walls took tho stand as the first and principal witness for tho defense, and denied in detail every count of tho bill of charges that was filed against him. Wants Pay fur Information. Abraham II. Patterson, of New York, yesterday began suit in the United States Circuit Court there tojecover from Charles T. Dietrich, Henry J. Davidson. Elias C. Penedict and Eraym J. Jermanoski 250,000 for

services rondered in furnishing information and advice with regard to purchasing the gas-works and other property in this city. Secretary Pray, of the Indianapolis Gas Company, in which the defendants are interested, said last night that nothing is known here concerning Patterson or his claim. REQUEST f OR ADVANCE OF WAGES. The "Big Four Officials Have Heard Them All end Will Answer 8ooxu General Manager Greene and General Superintendent Peck, of the Big Four system, have heard tho claims of engineers, firemen, conductors and brakemen for increase of wages, and answers will bo given the men next week. Superintendent Peck left for Cincinnati yesterday afternoon to look after the strike of the freight-handlers' in that city. Mr. Greene said this Cincinnati strike worried him.as he had no notice of the men there being dissatisfied. "The switchmen and platform men," he continued, in his talk with the reporter, "ask for more pay, and at the same time cut oft the revenue of the compauvby striking. At Cleveland they were idle four days, and at Chicago four days and a half. Again at St. Louis the company practically had no business for three days, and it was becoming a problem where the money would come from to pay present wages." Mr. Greene was obliged to leave last evening for Cincinnati before looking into the requests of the local switchmen and the j'ard men, but the whole matter will bo settled next week. The committees of each branch of service were desirous of impressing on the minds of tho Big Four officials that they had no grievances, but simply asked for advance in pay, and with this an equalization of wages on the several divisions. The advance asked, it is stated officially, will amount to- 10 per cent, on the wages of every man in the operating department, ana it is a serious question, it is claimed, as to the ability of tho company to grant all requests. The committees, however, have left the whole matter in the hands of the officials, saying that they will be aatiiied with what is reasonable and right. No request that certain discharged men should bo reinstated was made, nor .was thero any asking that certain men should be discharged. Freight-Handlers Ask for More Wages. Yesterday afternoon Superintendent Darlington, of the first division of the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg railroad, received ft request from the freight-handlers at the city freight depots that their pay bo advanced from 12 to 15 cents an hour.

Overcome by Heat. Joseph Heff, who resides at No. 295 South East street, and is eighty years of age. was overcome by the heat last evening at the Model clothing store. He was taken home in Kregelo's ambulance. ' More than Two Millions Increase. The County Board of Equalization completed its records on corporations yesterday.
