Recti Here A Look Into the 1)1 (Irrrnt Cnmpa Soe of the Encampment. Sunday was the first day of the eatherinsr of the vast company which will be here during the week. The excursion trains began to come la early In COMMANDER WEISSERT. the moraine and all day they were roll-lr-ic into the etatlon at Intervals. The largest was the train from the East over the Uisr Four, consisting cf eight sections. The posts arriving on that train comnrlsed members from some of the most prominent organizations of the eastern states. Following that there were scattering coaches on some of the regular trains and others came in a passengers err the regular trains. As train after train rolled In the crowds began to grow more dense, and before noon It seemed as though the streets were about as full as It wm possible for them to be. I5ut the crowd was constantly augmented and the people boRan to gather from all over thecity in the afternoon; the tame who have been going to the parks every Sunday heretofore. They literally packed S. Illlnols-st. to the Union station. It vrasa bmt impossible to move so closely were the people jammed In the sidewalks and the strert. In Fuite cf this crowd, however, the Veteran could stop and talk over old times and Invite each other in to take eometrinir. Th? attendance from some of the western Mates is going to be much larger than was anticipated, and the number in the various posts who have finally decided to come Is far in excess of the originally Ptated number. The camps prepared for the accommodation? of the veterans have begun to take on a military appearance and the bunks are filling rapidly. Camp Lew Wallace has the largest number so far. The school houje are filling up, the Missouri delegation occupying No. 1. A larger proportion of the veterans and their friends are quartered in private houses, however. The number of people waiting at the station' to welcome guests or friends was very large and the commltteen were necessarily numerous. A little taste of what the city will be during the larger part of thi3 week I HP? W e, conl caxelfco! was cxDrlrneed last night vxhen the electric display was being made at the monunv-nt. The circle and Merldlan-st. were packed to suffocation, and yet there were very f.w tin re but the people whose homes p. re liv the city. A few veterans appeared in their uniforms, but they wer comparatively scarce. Everybody is looking for the great number of arrivals today. Before night the city will s. e something of what It can exrwt. It i reHdy, however, and the veterans are meeting with a cordial welcome. IKIHMIslircilti TIIHOW OUT. Tue Inlon Station Th roused All nr with traugter and Itfsena. Every train arriving In the rlty Sunday brought gnat crowds of people who fairly fwrmcj Into the Union station. Trains from the East, West, North and South brought from five to seven coach loads of people who will remain until after the encampment. The crowds bgan to gather at the depot early In the morning and a the day advanced Increased to such an extent that It was almost impossible to penetrate It, either in the nation or under the sheds. The Jam was such at each Incoming train that the depot officers were taxed to their utmost in keeping th- people from blockading the gates wlini opened. Men, women and. boy pushed an,j BqUfCZ(.d thernselve though the crowd toward the gules and fluently they had to be

checked with a little" roughness. Many who 3ammed themselves under the sheds were those who expected relatives and tTuests. Adrance Guard Arrives. During the day but few veterans arrived, those who did being mostly advance guards of the posts and departments which they represent. All stragglers were taken in charge by members of the Webber zouaves, who, under the direction of Major Ross, escorted them to their quarters. Many comrades who arrived yesterday were accompanied by their families, a good supply of blankets and satchels, prepared for a long stop. Companies D. and A., light Infantry; Webber zouaves, and the Fremont camp Sons of Veterans will be on duty at the Union station until after comrades cease arriving and will look after their welfare. Two hundred veterans arrived from Shelbyville with a military band of twenty-four pieces. The Frank D. Blair post, No. 1, of St. Louis arrived at 4 o'clock and were escorted to school building No. I, where their quarters will be. Soliciting Stopped. Several runners for small hotels and boarding houses stationed themselves at the Union station and began soliciting, informing people that they would take them to hotels where the rate would be but $1.50 per night and that price was the lowest In the city, when Executive Director Fortune immediately addressed a letter to Superintendent Colbert, asking that the soliciting be stopped. In the afternoon notices were posted in the depot warning the people not to pay more .'or lodgings than was specified on cards which could be obtained at any of the booths. The rate specified for a night's lodging Is from 50 cents to $1. Nearly everyone one met yesterday was greeted with: "Come, let's go to the depot and see the crowds come la." Then off they would go, picking up others on the way and swelling the crowd to a larger number. While there were many thousands arrived, perhaps one-third of the people who were at the Union station were there only for curiosity, and they were the ones who gave the depot officers bo much trouble when the gates were opened. Giant of Pennsylvania. Col. Pat Bane, the giant of Pennsylvania arrived in this city Sunday with the W. F. Templeton post, No. 120, of Washington, Ta, Col. Bane is seven feet tall and tips the scales at 200 pounds. While he is fifty years old he does not appear over forty. So large a man in a city the Elze of Indianapolis it would seem would attract but little attention, but Col. Bane was not unnoticed and a large crowd gathered around him as he talked to a Sentinel reporter. The comrades of Col. Bane are not all in the city, but a delegation of several hundred will arrive in Indianapolis tonight from Washington, Pa. While in the midst of a subject relating to his service In the army. Col. Bane suddenly ceased to talk for several geconds when he suddenly exclaimed in a deep bass voice: "Well, let's get out of here. It's getting too d d hot," and he started for the street with a crowd of curious one3 following him. He Is stopping at 37Vi "VV-. Market-st. Commander AVelssert Arrives.

Weissert and staff were conveyed to the Denlson In carriages where they will be quartered during the encampment. Mr ron W. Iteed Arrives. At 10:30 George W. Cook post of Denver, Col., fifty-five strong, with the Rev. Myron W. Reed In command came In accompanied by members of the O. A. R. from California and Oregon and seven veterans of the IL F. Thomas post of Helena, Mont. This contingent was led by the Cook drum and fife corps of Denver, an organization which ha never missed a national encampment for the past seven years. On the march north on Illlnols-st. the corps serenaded Th Sentinel with a number of Inspiriting soiectloTiti. The dt-lcgatUm from Denver met the senior vice-commander of the post. Capt. E. R Warfleld, at Chicago and he accompanied the post to Indiana poll. "It Is reasonable to purpose you are much wearied after your long Jcurney," suggejted a Sentinel reporter 'x Commander Myron W. Reed. In low, but firm tones, Mr. i.el simply replied: "The true soldier will never adm't he Is tired when on the lne of duty," but he added, sotto voice: "As a mtater of fact, I may say, we are worn with travel." At 10:5. Custer post, No. 115, of Grand Rapids. Mich., with seventy-six men and Capt. Henry D. Cooper, commander, arrived and were marched to the corner of Illlonls and Washlngton-sts., whence, In charge of a commttee of Alvln Hovey post they were taken to West Indianapolis, special cars betiig In waiting. Sheridan post. No. 4, Reading, Mich., fifty-four strong, In command of Gen. II. Johnson, arrived on the same train with the Grnnd Rapids post and followed It over to West Indianapolis. Morton post of Terre Haute will arrive this morning and will be met at the Belt road by nn escort committee of Hovey pot and taken to quarters In Wtst Indianapolis. Morton post will bring f.00 members and about 100 ladies of the relief corps. MOMMnJIT ILLI'MISATIO. Outlined In Flame with a Fiery, AVavlngr Plan-. The monument waa illuminated Sunday for the first time at 7:30. The display was one of the most brilliant electrical displays ever given In the world. Following Is a complete description of the display and the machinery by which It Is operated: Much has been said from time to time about the coming Illumination of tht Soldiers and Bailors' monument, but in such a general way that It was doubtful If the citizens fully realized the artlstio excellence of tho electrlo display. The Edison decorative and miniature lamp department, which Is executing the work, has pledged itself to the successful accomplishment of the task and Is sparing n-o oulns to make tho monument "a symphony In electricity." For the past three weeks a force of fifty New York electrical experts have been at work and all is ready to present to the soldier visitors a sight surpassing anything of the kind yet seen here. K. J. McAllister, the assistant manager of the deportment, ha been on the ground riving his personal attention to very detail of the4' work. He 1 assisted

by Messrs. Edward F. Plckert, Frederick L. McCutcheon and George B. Tripp. Mr. Pickert Is responsible for the arrangement cf the lighting and the display pieces, while Messrs. Tripp and McCutcheon devote their efforts to the technical details. Around the balustrade at the top of the shaft a triple corona of light will be cast down on the shaft and up toward "Miss Indiana." Back of the first astragal windows will be placed electric reflectors, throwing into bold relief the dates. Down toward earth a girdle of lamps encircles the monument and serves as an Introduction to the display below, where the navy astragal is to be placed. In the center of the panel on the south side an immense American flag outlined In lamps of appropriate colors seems to wave as though it were floating in the wind. Delicate ripples of light run constantly over the surface of the flag and make one forget that it Is not waving In the air. This device is controlled by a very Intricate switch moved by a tiny electric motor, which throws the current on and off the lamps, producing alternate waves of light and darkness, producing the fluttering effect. As a background to the four lion1 heads rise four sprays of lights of various colors and below the heads runs a second belt of lamps. The corners of the pedestal are outlined in lamps, as also are the borders o the large panel on the south side. Tl.e most attractive display

fi.

tLr,i on this fide Is a huge anchor, typical of the navv. This is depicted in pure white lamps. Over the corner head at the top of the nanel a delicate wreath of miniature lamps casts a soft glow on the laurel leaves below. The panels on the east and west skies each support a largo Amerlcun shield, also outlined in light, while on the northern panel Is suspended a monster wreath of laurel, with myriads of lights glowing here and there through the foliage. At the base of the main pedestal are placed eight electric wheels, two at each corner. These are revolving discs, propelled by motors and bearing on their face various artistic designs In lamps, which change color and arrangement as the wheels revolve. The numberless changes of these wheels, added to the other electrical beauties, produce a charming effect. The main doorway of the monument Is outlined In liht. On the upper landing are placed two pyramids of cannonballs, each ball lighted by, a miniature lamp. On the steps leading down from this landing arc four stacks of muskets, each with a wreath of various colored lamps thrown gracefully over the bayonets. On the second landing two Held Pieces, with their outlines depicted In light, seem phantoms of war. The balustrades of the terraces are also outlined in light, the lamps following the architectural details. To complete the beauty of the illumination the four monster search lights will play up and down, now concentrating their rays upon the statue, now turning the darkness of the adjacent streets Into mid-day Lrilllancy. These lights are of 20,0'0 candle power each and caiiable of throwing a ray three miles. They will be put through a series of concerted evolutions a regular drill, in fact, similar to that pursued at tho world's fair. In making this display over five thousand lamps have been used, varying In candle power from one to sixteen. Looking at the finished work. It Is hard to realize the vast amount of labor required to attain the desired end, and this labor was not lessened by the fact that not a Flngle nail or wire could be directly attached to the monument for fear of defacing the stone. All display pieces and belts of lamps had to be suspended by fine wires from tho windows In the Fhaft. The greater part of the work had to be done with the "bos'ns chair." and the skill and nerve which some of the electricians displayed la' putting up wires and lamps while suspended sixty or seventy feet from the ground won the applause and admiration bf all who stopped to watch the progress of the work. In the corridor of tho monument is located the Bwltch-board, whif-h is to the display what the brain Is to the body. It requires fifteen switches to control the different circuits and at first one might easily believe one's self In an tbctrlc light station. Four largt cables, each carrying 000 amperes of current, feed to the board, and from the switches the wires run to tho different displays. The entire construction of this Intricate switch-board has been1 In charge of John C. Terry, who has been with the Edison company for years and Is one of the best men In his line. m; tnoss sociirrv. A Urlef Sheteh of Its Work at l.nrnnipnienti. While the Red Cross society has not had members actively engaged at any of the past enenmpments, except possibly at Wushlngton last year, Its Influence has been felt for some years back and the insignia has been used In the hospital ncrvlco. This year Dr. J. II.

enced persons to lend aid In the twentyone hospitals which will be erected along the line of march of the parade. The hospitals will be built within the ropes and will be in charge of two physicians each and a hospital steward, and will be plentifully supplied with medicines and other necessities. .Eight ambulances will enter into the parade so as to be on hand to give prompt assistance to any who may fall In the streets. Temporay treatment . can., be given at the emergency hospital until such time as the patient may be removed to a permanent place. Dr. Hubbell, who has charge of the work here, has been connected with the Red Cross work for a score of years and his experience in the United States has been varied and extensive. He assisted materially during the great forest fires which devastated so much of northern Michigan and rendered homeless so many thousands of people In '79-'S0. Then during the Ohio and Mississippi river floods and again when the epidemic known as the Virginia plague broke out, the Red Cross society with Miss Clara Barton at its head and Dr. Hubbell as her right hand man, was active in the field. Through the terrors of the Charleston earthquake, the Mt. Vernon (Illinois) cyclone, the yellow fever in Florida, the famine -In Texas, the Johnstown fxd and the Iowa cyclone, the Greek cros3 forming the brassard of this society, floating above his headquarters, gave notice to suffering humanity that Dr. Hubbell was at hand and a perfect organization of the most perfect of all human societies was performing its perfect work. Again in 1S92, when famine was depoulatlng the Interior of Russia and the scourge was doing its deadly work. Dr. Hubbell was the first to go from this country and was at Riga to receive the Tynehead, which bore a. cargo of proVisions sent from Iowa for the starving subjects of the czar. Dr. . Hubbell labored there for some months and when he was preparing to return to his native country was presented with a silver wine sen-ice by the czar in recognition of his valuable services. Dr. Hubbell is a graduate of the University öf Michigan and was for four years professor of natural science in Dansbury. N. Y. lie haa seen much of the world. In 1SS7 he was the government delegate to the conference to Carlsruhe and to Rome this year. ELECTIOX GOSSIP.

The Three Men Mentioned Prominently for Commander. Hardly had the veterans begun to gather about the various headquarters Sunday when they began to talk about the probable candidates for commander-in-chief. They are all enthusiastic in the praise of Commander-in-Chief Weissert. but the usual custom will prevail and the commander will undoubtedly change. Then arises the question of the relative strengt and claims of the different candidates. There are three candidates already In the field. One of them is Capt. J. H. B. Adams of Massachusetts. Capt. Adams comes to the encampment backed by the solid delegation from New England and his own associates in the Massachusetts department are very enthusiastic for him. They ure working, and have been for a long time, to get the support of other delegations and claimed last night that they had the support of New York and Pennsylvania. This was said to be solid, and they hoped with the showing thus made to sweep through the convention and take their candidate in without difficulty. Some members from New York denied that, however, and said that New York had not been pledged to any one, but would not say that the state had a candidate of Its own. It Is suspected that it has. The full delegation, had not yet arrived last rjght and those who were hwe did not feel in a position to say anything. It is suspected, however, that they will undertake to spring a candidate of their own before the day for the convention. Capt. Adams possesses one element of strength which will be very beneficial to him. The Weissert contingent cf the G. A. R. is under great obligations to Capt. Adama and his friends for services rendered last year and it is suppoed that the Influence of those men will be turned to Mr. Adams at the coming election. In case it is Mr. Adams's friends are confident of his election by an overwhelming majority, if not by acclamation. Capt. Adams Is here and quartered at the Denlson with Commander-in-Chief Weissert and the friends of the two gentlemen were In close consultation last night, presumably talking politics of the order. Capt. Adams is making a very determined push for the Place, but the fact that the New England delegation will be exceedingly small this year is liable to count against him. Another prominent candidate Is Samuel Hurst of Ohio. Mr. Hurst has many things In his favor, one of which Is that he has been a candidate a number of times and has stepped aside and thrown the strength f himself and friends to other candidates. The Ohio delegation is coming with a big load of enthusiasm ready to bo distributed for him. The New England men are afraid of the hearty, hurrah style of the western delegates and are doing their utmost to carry tho battle for Mr. Adams' as quietly ns possible. Mr. Hurst is very popular In Ohio, and that means a popularity also In the adjoining states. It looks as though he would be a formidable rival for Mr. Adams. The enthusiasm of his friends is very contagious, and though they arc few In number, they are hard workers. Today the whole Ohio delegation will arrive and they will begin work Immediately to push the claims of their candidates for commander-in-chief. The chances are that he will be elected unless Capt. Adams develops more strength than tho Ohio people peem to think ho will. It Is said (hat there will bu a heartiness and enthusiastic shout raised for Hurst In the Ohio delegation and among his friends outside which will be heard all over the country. The third prominently mentioned man Is Charles P. Lincoln of Washington, 1). C. Just what his strength may be It Is Impossible to say now. The delegations having his candidacy In charge are not yet In, but will arrive early today, and then will begin the can vans for his election. It Is supposed, however, by those best qualified to know among the earlier arrivals that he Is very strong among the men In the states Immediately around Washington. The Washington delegation Is understood to be solid for him and will do Its utmost In the convention to elfet him. It Is too early yet to predict the probable outcome of his canvass. He will be here to look after his own Interests and a large number of enthuslastlo friends are ready to do their utmost to win him tho comnmndorshlp. G. A. H. gTATHTir. What Will n Included In the lit. portsCommanders' Travels. MILWAUKEE. Wis., Sept. 3. Commander-in-Chief Weissert of the G. A. R. and staff left for the national encampment at Indianapolis this morning. Col. Weissert during his term has traveled L0.0OO rnilcs, visiting thirty-seven of the forty-five departments. He began with Maine and stopped at California. The reports to be submitted nt Indianapolis will show that there are 443,544 members on the rolls of the grand army, posts and forty-five departments. During the pear over $2.000 has been expended In charity and since the organization has been In existence tho amount aggregates 12,500,000. which has been reported. The reports of the woman's relief eorrm will show, among other things, that Its membership is 134.::G, a net gain over tho year prevlus of 4;i2i; the amount spent la relief, j:S,C20; turned

"over to post. 534.406: expended on memorials, 114,351; total expenditures during the year aggregate $112,925. Among other subjects to come before the encampment will be the proposed reorganization of the quartermaster's department It Is the opinion of many veterans that the guartermaster-general should have been elected by the encampment Instead of being appointed. Commander-in-Chief Weisserfs annual address will be delivered Wednesday. He will discuss the pension question, the i decoration of graves of veterans in the

South, - Memorial day and other subjects of interest. THE REPORT ON PENSIONS. CIIAIRMAX WALKER HAS IT READY TO SUBMIT. The Delegates to the TV t tonal G. A. R. Encampment Will De Asked to Tass IpoD a Report Which Demands That Veterans Shall De Heard JJefore They Are Dropped from the Rolls Indications That the Committee Has Been Forestalled by Commissioner Loch re n. At the annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic last year at Washington, D. C, Col. I. N.Walker of this city was made chairman of the national committee on pensions of the G. A. It. This committee, after a clr.se scrutiny of the pension question so dear to the heart of the veteran of the republic, has formulated its report, which will be submitted during the approaching session of the national encampment in this city. In this report the committee will forcibly demand that there shall be no further proceedings against the pensioner without there shfU first be furnished prima facie evidence of fraud. When this Is formally and fully Furpüed the pensioner shall be vouchsafed the un Tialified privilege of knowing the exact character of the charges preferred against him, the name of his accusers, and then be granted tha right to be heard in his own defense. This much of the committee's report Is really the outgrowth of the action taken by a G. A. R. post of Pittsburg, which, In defense of one of its members, the payment of whose pension has been suspended by the commissioner at Wash ington, instituted Injunction proceedings in the federal court for the Western dls trict of Pennsylvania based upon the legal assumption that the commissioner of pensioners, after a pension claim has been passed to issue and the name of the applicant has been placed upon the rolls, has no power to suspend the payment of the pension, erase the name of the pensioner from the records of the pension office or in any other way nullify the grant which has once been made, unless the proscribed pensioner shall be allowed the right, as in all the caurts of high or low degree, to a full and untrammeled defense. It Is an assured thing that the pension question will form a very Important and momentous subject for the consideration of the coming national meeting of the veteran soldiers and that its discussion will develop into one of large force and extent. That the matter of the suspension of pensions haa been, particularly of recent date, closely considered by the department at Washington Is evidenced by a telegram from Congressman A. N. Martin received by the Hon. Thomas Taggart Thursday. On Wednesday Mr. Martin had a conference with Pension Commissioner Lochren and asked the commissioner to Issue an order revoking the suspension of pensions. The entire field of official action in the premises was thoroughly canvassed, and yesterday forenoon Mr. Martin was notified that the suspensions would be pretty generally revoked. This will have the effect of restoring to the pension rolls the names of the larger number of those pensioners who have hitherto been dropped. The Hon. A. N. Martin is chairman of the house committee oa invalid pensions. THE FA lit RACES. Rnles of the Trotting Association to He Enforced The Fair. Secretary Kennedy of the state board of agriculture wishes to announce that during the races at the fair the rules of the American trotting association will be enforced and the special ruling made as supplementary to rule Si will be waived. The supplementary rule is as follows: "When less than five horses start a horse not winning a heat in the first three shall not start for the fourth unless such horses shall have made a dead heat." This will be waived and the mls of the American trotting association will prevail. President Officer of the board has recently returned from the Ohio state fair. He reports that the fair was finonelally a success and that all premiums1 were paid In full out of the proceeds. But better still, he says, that of all the exhibits there 90 per cent, will come to the Indiana fair. It is now getting to be a serious question how nil exhibitors can be accommodated. The success of the fair is of course more than assured. AMERICAN II A II ASMt I ATIO. Thomas M. Cooler Chosen PresidentMr. Harrison Honored. MILWAUKEE. Sept. 1. Judge Thomas M.

FEDERAL ELECTION LAW.

CONGRESS WILL PROBABLY REPEAL TUE 'ODXOXIOl'S 31EASLRE. In Such an Event John I. Davenport Will lie Without n Job Whereby He Can Ran n Detective Agency and Draw Government Pay. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. One of the first efforts of the democratic congress will be directed to secure the repeal of the federal election law under which John I. Davenport of New York has made such a reputation as supervisor of elections. Senator Hill of New York has taken the initiative in this matter In the senate and Gen. Black of Illinois, ex-commissioner of pensions and now a member of congress, has prepared a bill to the same purport for introduction in the house. Senator Hill has made such substantial progress that he has secured the consideration of his bill by the senate committee on Judiciary and a day or two ago the measure was ordered to be reported to the senate with recommendation that it do pass. The democrats In their fight to secure the repeal of thfs law do not expect to encounter serious opposition either In the house or senate, and they appear to be assured that the measure is one which will secure immediate approval by President Cleveland. Davenport's Detective Ilnrenn. On last January a select committee to Inquire into the administration of election laws In New York City presented a report containing the following statement: "With the power of the government behind him and with the money of the government to use, Davenport has managed for years a detective bureau, by means of which he has sought to get proof of the crimes which he has claimed existed In the City of New York. When in his first capacity, as a detective, he had obtained such proof as he wished to use, he then, in his second capacity as a public prosecutor issued the warrants for the arrest of the alleged criminals. Sometimes he gave these warrants to the United States marshal to be executed and sometimes in a third capacity, as a sheriff, he seemed to have made the arrest of the accused parties through his own deputies. Then In a fourth capacity as a United States commissioner, sitting as a magistrate, he has heard his own charges against the prisoner, which he presented to himself as judge by himself as prosecuting attorney and has decided himself upon their gsilt or Innocence. Yosr committee, after a very darcful study of the operations of the federal election laws the city of New York, are of the opinion before election and on election day in that all these laws have entirely failed to produce any good results in the direction of the purity of elections or the protection of the ballot-box. and have been productive of such serious and dangerous results that they ought at once to be repealed." May Appeal to the Conrts. It is believed that Davenport will appeal to the courts to decide the right of the administration to eject him from the offices heretofore occupied In the New York postofflee building, but it is expected by the democrats that before he can possibly get any favorable action In the courts the bill will have passed both houses of congress and have been signed by tho president, repealing In toto the section of the law creating a federal supervisor of election and under which Mr. Davenport has operated for many years. The Conilnic Week. In the senate the entire week will in all probability be consumed In the consideration of the bill for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. There will probably be some diversion from the main subject tomorrow when Mr. Voorhees attempts to secure the adoption of the resolution of which he gavo notice yesterday. In tho house, which does not meet again until Wednesday, there Is nothing of prominence this week except the continuation and conclusion of the debate on the rules. To Restore Onr Merchant Marine. Congressman George W. Flthlan of Illinois, the new chairman of the committee on merchant marine and fisheries, has prepared a bill which will receive a favorable report from his committee providing for the admission to American registry of ships built in foreign countries. The position which Congressman Flthlan and a majority of his committee will take is that it is folly to attempt to restore our merchant marine by government bounties, and that the only manner in which the Hag of the United States can secure its fair share of the growing trade of the world is to admit free to American registry shlrä built In foreign countries.
