breasts to the foe. and saved this country in it hoar of peril. "The report of the chaplain shows that never in the history of our department has Memorial dar been so generally and fittingly observod. One of the beneficent inlicences of the Grand Army of the Kepublic. and which it is hoped will Ion? snrYive tho order itself, is the establishment and maintenance of a day on which is annually commemorated the eacrifteo of our heroic dead, and on which the childhood and youth of the Nation are taught the price of the liberties they eujoy and tho duty of maintaining them. From a patriotic and educational point of viex, no day in all the year is so important to us as a Nation. When Memorial day was insti-. tuta by the Grand Army of the Republic' it was not iutended that it shontd be made a day of feasting festivals and fairs, nor that it should be given over to base-ball and other anortn. bat it was set apart as a day eacrcd to the memory of our heroic dead. 'The report of the assistant adjutantgeneral shows that during the past year SCI of our comrades were taken to their final Test. Many of these died of wounds received in battle, or disease contracted in the (service of their country. Considering the membership of th department, the timo passed since the war closed, the hardships, privations and exposure endured, and that the yountt of our comrades have passed the meridian of life.death has dealt kindly with ns; but wo are reminded, nevertheless, that, although the Old Guard never surrendered, yet it must die." The commander here paid tribute to the "Woman's Kelief Corps and Sons of Veterans, lie also called attention to the boned cent worit of the Soldiers' and bailors' jOrp bans' Home in carina forand educating the children of veterans who have passed away. Concerning the soldiers' monument, he eald it was gratityinz to learn that tho commissioners had determined not to entertain propositions that would lower its character or impair its value. Ho hoped the Legislature would provide for improving the grounds and approaches in a manlier befitting the great work. THE STATE SOLDIEKS HOME. The necessity of a State soldiers' home was urged, and Commander Wa'.kerquoted the address of Commander Foster, delivered in 1SS ?n the subject. Ho also referred to and quoted liberally xrom tho reports of committees, and closed this branch of his addresA in these words: "This movement has my most hearty indorsement, and 1 believe that it will have the cordial snpport of not only the members of this encampment, but the entire comradeship of the department. I am confident that an energetic committee can secure, without cost, a donation of sutlicient ground for th) purpose fronting one bf the many beautiful and healthful lakes that abound in this State, and this done, there are dozens of patriotic citizens who will contribute a cottage to shelter some poor veteran and h:a faithful wife the remainder of their days, Hut this must be insisted upon, that the wives and the widows of onr dead comrades must be providod for in the institution the same as the old yetorans. Wo want no more soldiers' homes that provide for the husband and send the old wires and the widows of our heroes over tho hills to the poor-houses. .The law governing .the national homes should be changes in this respect; but until that is done wo must make provision for these patriotic' women in State soldiers' home. Eighteen States have already moved in this matter, and our grand Hoosier State must not bring up tho rear of the procession. I commend this subject to the thoughtful consideration of the encampment." Commander Valker urged the vetorana of Indiana to interest themselves in the cominft National Encampment at Washington, and that rvith proper efforts Indianapolis could secure tho encampment in lfclKJ. Mr. Walker eaid the committee appointed to ascertain the facts in the case and publish them in refutation of the falsehoods contained in an article published in the Century Magazine, by an ex-rebel soldier, named John A. Wyeth. under the title of "Cold Cheer at Camp Morton." had mado a report which "completely proves this evident seeker after notoriety to be not only a cheap and fern all slanderer of a generous and hospitable people, but also that ho was not held in very high esteem by his own relatives, and was not even considered a very good rebel soldier, and this grades Lira down pretty low." The commander closed his address by pointing out the necessity of providing permanent headquarters for the department. He also paid feeling tributes to those who bad been summoned by the Great Supreme Commander, and Maid the Grand Army had lost one of the most useful members in tho death of Comrade Al vin P. Hovey. whose bronze statue would soon adorn the pedostal selected by himself at the east front of the Capitol and facing the soldiers' monument. THE ANNUAL RE FORTS.

When thecilietal reports had been made, general Carnahan made a report on the Wyeth slanders in th treatment of prisonera at Camp Morton. He save only a summary of tie report, bnt the whole paper is pnntetl in pamphlet form. In thn course of his remarks, Carnahau 6aid that while trareling in the South ho has found a systematic purpose on tho part of the champions of the Confederacy to rewrite the history of tho late war. Resolutions were adopted denouncing tho New York Sun fur its assault on (Jen. Alger. An interesting feature of the morning cssiioa wa thu report of tho president of

the Indiana Women's Relief Corps. There are 173 corps in the State, with member, being a gain of 7b9 the past year. These corps have collected and expended in the relief of needy veterans and dependent families $'5,114 during the past year. The announcement was received with applause. The processiou which came between tho sessions was a surprise, because it embraced su many veteran, variously estimated at from 1,(00 to 1,2)0, and the profound interest shown by the people. Nearly every bouse was pay with flags and bunting, and it seemed as if the whole populace had turned out to witness the passage of tho veterans through the street. Tho main streets wero tilled with spectators from curb to building, who looked on in a thoughtful tdleuce that is rarely seen. Tho whole ecenn is one in which those who participated will long remember. Whatever a few people may say to the contrary, tne old soldier yet lives in the hearts of the masses. One feature most noticeable was tho largo number of small children carrying l!a?s. The Indianapolis delegation nnder Commander Schilling numbered 13. The afternoon session was doubtless ooe of the most important ever held by tho Indiana Cncampmenf. Colonel Black, of Indianapolis, made an exhaustive report regarding the Soldiers'Orphans' Home, showing what a beneficial institution it has become. Thoso who spoko after tho report accorded to the Colonel much of the credit for the present condition of the institution. Following this report came that of tho committee on tho commander's address, of. which General Carnahau wns chairman. Two points attracted great interest. Fonr weeks aj;o the Journal called attention to the marked increase in the number of bills being introduced in tho iiouso to remove tho charge of desertion against men who havo been silent under the dishonor for twenty-soven years. The article attracted attention, and Colonel Walker's reference to it in his address called out two resolutions in tho report of the committee denouncing desert era, as well ns all attemptn to make patriots of them, aud in emphatic language demanded a halt on tho part of Congress. A bout followed thereadiugof the resolutions which showed how the Indiana department resents thi attempt to put deserters on terms of equality with the veteran and his dead comrade. The next point of Interest was tho recommendation of the committee to tho eliect that the encampment appoint a committee to receive a donation of land and use its surplus funds to erect cottages for homes for needy veterans aud their wives. Ex-Representative Johnston, of Unshville, took exceptions to the plan. Ho believed that tho State should be asked to participate. Then Carnahau nnd Johnston locked , horns in nn nrgumeut. which, for Power and earnestness, is rarely presented efore such nn audience. Finally the two gentlemen agreed upon a compromise to the ellect that the committee be chosen to place the umttrr before the Legislature, pledging $5,000 ot its funds and its best efforts to secure donations iu the event the Legislature should take favorable action. Fort Wayne has already o lie red ouo hundred acres of land for a home. The next matter of importance which camo un was the selection of th placo for holding tho next encampment, Evansville and Indianapolis were bidder, but it was not an Indianapolis tiny, and Kvansvillo practically had a walk over, many Indianapolis delegates voting for the Pocket city, in deference to tho urgent wishes of Kvansvillo in tho matter. Tho encampment voted to make an etlort to secure tho national encampment in 1S93 for Indianapolis. The attendance is much larger .than the number present last night indicated. In fact, nearly all the posts are represented. The sessions of the Women's Keliof Corps were fully attended. The report of the president, Mrs. Iles9, shows that the organization was never so strong nnd harmonious. Financially, tho corps is to bo congratulated, as Mrs. lltss reports that more money is accumulating than is uecded to meet current expenses. A rouaiug camplire is iu progress this evening.

Evils of nhg EDglish Compartment Car System Again Forcibly Illustrated. lonnj: Girl Assaulted by an Unknown Man Who Made His Escape Dahomey 's Kinff Preparing for a Slaughter. GIRL ASSAULTED ON A TRAIN. Another Crime for Which the English Compartment Car Is Responsible. London. April 6 The assaulting of women upon railway trains is becoming such a frequent occurrence that tho opponents of the English compartment system are continually gaining accessions to their numbers. The latest case is reported this morning. Passengers in a compartment of a car attached to a train en route for Ruabon, a town of Denbighshire, Wales, were startled by hearing shrieks coming from the rear of the car. Upon looking out they saw a girl, about thirteen years old, standing upon the footboard, clutching the hand-rail with all her strength. The train was running at a good rate of speed, and it appeared as though she would be thrown to the ground at any moment. With greatdifficnlty, and at great risk, she made her way along the footboard to the next compartment, where she was taken in. Her clothing was disarranged ana she was in a terrible stateof excitement. She was quieted so far as possible, and then she explained that she and an unknown man were tbe sole occupints of tne compartment she bad lelt. The man had engaged her in conversation aud finally had made improper proposals to her. She rejected his advances, wberenpen he seized her. and despite her resistanco snd cries tor help, which were-drowned by the rumbling of the train, had brutally assaulted her. When she escaped from his grasp she jumped out on the foot-board and shrieked for help. The man became alarmed and. fearing arrest, he too gut out on the foot-board and. steadying himself for a moment, jumped off the train. When the next station was reached the police were notified of tbe occurrence and a search was made for the girl's assailant. No trace of him was found. The girl's name is Williams. She was journeying from Llangollen, She says that when the man seized her she reached out and tried to pull the alarm cord, but found that it was broken, thus leaving her at the mercy of her assailant, whose greatly superior strength rendered tho girl helpless in his hands. The railway officials believe that the man, in pursuance of his plan to assault the girl, had previously broken the alarm cord so she could not possibly attract the attention of tho guards. From the description of the man given to tho police by the girl he is recognized as an old and wellknown ollender. DAHOMEY'S WICKED KING. Preparing to Propitiate Ids Gods by a Great Slaughter of Captives. Pakis, April 6 The Soleil to-day says it has private advices from Porto Novo which show that the situation arising from the warlike attitude of King Bebanzin, of Dahomey, is far more serious than the official dispatches state. Tho Dehomeyans have always been noted for their man-hunting expeditions, and this is tbe season of the year in which these expeditions start from Abomey and other places in Dahomey. The object of these expeditions is to procure victims for the slaughters termed "customs'' by the natives, at which hundreds of captives aro sacrificed to propitiate the fetish gods aud also to procure slaves, from tbe sale of which Behanzin derives much of his revenue It has been charged that the company building the Congo railway is one of the best customers the King has for these victims of his raids who. in oraer to escape the French and English authorities, who are actively suppressing the slave trade, are euphoniously termed "laborers." These laborers it is said are nominally sot free by King Behanzin, but in reality they are nothing less than slaves. borne time ago it was charged that the German factories established at Wbydab, the port of Dahomey, acted as intermediator's between the King and the Belgian government for a supplv of "laborers." and it was said that tbe sum of 400.000 German marks had been received there in order to continue tho trailic. The Soleil to-day says that the object of the King in warring upon the French is to so weaken their inlluence at the coast towns that he will be ahlo to open fresh slave routes. Whydah is defended against any attack tbe French may make upon it by five hundred warriors, all of whom are armed with the Mauser ritle, and Frenchmen do not hesitate to say that the Only way those rifles could have been secured was through the Germans, as it is essentially a German weapon. In order to cope with the wellarmed and unquestionably brave soldiers of King Behanztn it is imperatively necessary that strong reinforcomcnts be at once sent to French soldiers in the Bight of Benin. The authorities have issued orders that preparations bo pushed forward with all tbo speed possible to dispatch troops to Porto Novo to reinforce the French soldicrs there. An official dispatch received hero to-day states that six thousand Dahomeyans are within four hours' march of Porto Novo, and aro only waiting reinforcements to make an attack upon that Place' BAD A NARROW ESCAPE. ICate Kouit Seville Tells uf Iler Engagement to Marry Murderer Deeming, Melboure, April 6 Kate Rounseville, the fiancee of Deeming, after he had murdered his wife here, and who would probably have met the same fate but for his opportune arrest, as preparations were under way for her marriage to him in western Australia gave her testimony at the inQecst to-day. She is a resident of Sydney. She said she had met Deeming on a steamer while going from Melbourne to Sydney. He had accosted her in a friendly manner, and, with tho usual absence of social restrictions that prevails among fellow-travelers, she had entered into conversation with him. He treated her with gentlemanly courtesy, and she became very much interested iu him. He had impressed her with the belief that he was an individual of some consequence. He told her that he was Barou Swuuston. 'This, by the way, is the title he assumed while he was in the Southern Cross gold fields, and signed it to a letter ho sent to the manager of Frazer's gold mine, demanding part of his salary that he claimed was due him. Hegave her a diamond ring, which sho has since learned belonged to the murdered woman. Since his arrest Deeming has requested her to return the ring to him. so that he might sell it, and with the proceeds help defray the costs of his defense. She had declined to surrender it to him, as she believed he was guilty of the murder of his wife. Shortly after Deeming had given her the ring she promised to join him in western Australia, where it was arranged that they should be married. She was almost upon the point of starting lor Perth when she learned of Deeming's arrest on the charge of murder. Tin;: cixim:sk jh.tciikries. Prtmler I.I Ilnug Chang Reporls They Were Due to Mongolian Cruelties. Pi: kin, China. April 0. Li Hung Chang. the Chinese Premier, has made a report to tho throne on tbo recent rebellion in northcasern China. Ho says that tho trouble was due to years of cruelty on the part of the Mongol Prince and tho CLamyaug tribesmen, who oppressed tbe Chinese tsettler.-, burning their crops nnd outraging their fannlieM. Tho Chines were unable to olttain rcdre.. They therefore combined nnd hilled tbe Prince's lainily and all tho Mongol . who fell into tbutr hand.

country is-seeking to mollify Frane by granting to Frenchmen tracts of land, railway concessions aud other material advantages. Tho concert in which the diplomates were acting ha ended. Tho Kuian minister baa acted independently or the other ministers, objecting to follow the German minister, who in the dean of the ministerial corps. Thelattcr's management of the imperial audience displeased tbe other ministers.

The Watkios Ingram Wedding. London, April C Sir Edward Watkins and Mrs. Ingram, widow of the proprietor of tho Illustrated London News, were married this morning at St. George's Church, Hanover square. Tho bride is eighty-three years old and the bridegroom soventy-three. Sir Fd ward is one of tho most powerful railway magnates in Great Britain, nnd his bridois immensely wealthy. Sir Edward has a son who is married to a daughter of his bride. Several newspapers have heretofore been compelled to make retractions of statements they had made in connection with the wedding, and to-day the sous of Mrs. Ingram entered suits against the Pall Mall Gazette for libel for asserting in its issue of to day that they were opposed to the marriago of their mother to Sir Edward Watkins, and for other statements that

At a meeting here, this evening, SirGeorge lladcn Powell said ho bad had a rough time of it in America. Although in Lord Salisbury he had an intellect behind him superior to that of any man in America, Mr. Maine was one of the ablest men America bad produced. Mr. lllaino had acted straight in all tho Dchriog sea negotiations, and had agreed to submit to arbitration tho only dispute that could ever create had blood between America and England. Sir George thought that the adoption of this method for the adjustment of the ditliculty would establish a precedent for tbo settlement of lisbery disputes with other nations. Spain Needs a Thumping. Paris, April L Tbe Journal dos Debats to-aay says that aserious quarrel js threatened between Spam and tho United States, owing to the latter country appointing Mr. H.

Mr. Hand is the elder brother of Missionary Hand, tho leader of tho Methodists who wero tho authors of tho recent troubles between tho Spanish authorities and the native of the Carolines. Spain, tho Debats adds, persists in her refusal to grant an exequatur to Mr. Hand aud the Unitrd States refuses to withdraw his nppointmcnt. Consequently the matter is at a dead-lock. Caprivi Requeued to Tako a Holiday. PjErlin, April C Emporor William has requested Chancellor Von Caprivi to take a holiday, as he has never haa one since he took office. The Emperor offered to place any imperial castt"at the Chancellor's disposal, but the latter preferred to go to Carlsbad. It is reported in political circles that this vacation foreshadows Gen. Von Caprivi's completo retirement. A eection of the press attributes the postponementof the debate ou Count Eulcnburg's salary, which it had been expected would come up Tuesday, to tho Imminent appointment of the Count as Chancellor. Horlbert a Fugitive from Justice. London, April 6.
