Minneapolis, Aug. 15. Despite a
somewhat hot and sultry day the reun
ions of the various regiments planned for the Grand Army encampment were carried through with great success. There was not a floor in any of the ho
tels nor a hall in the city which did not hold the survivors of some organization that was in the field during
the Avar. Some of the gatherings were
largely attended, but others were confined to not more than a, half dozen of the original regimental members. The
reunions in the majority of cases did
not last for any length of time, and the veterans were soon on their way to visit some of the points of interest about the city. Great Campfire Is Held. Receptions were also held by members of the Ladies of the (J rand Army, the Women's Relief Corps and other organizations of a similar character, all of them keeping open house throughout the day. The feature of the evening was a large campiire held in the auditorium, which packed the structure to its utmost capacity. Addresses were made by Governor Johnson. Commander-in-Chief Tanner; It. 1. Brown, of Zanesville, O., a candidate for the honor of being the next commander of the Grand Army, and a number of others. An address of welcome was made to every prominent organization of national scope now attending the encampment, and a response offered in behalf of each. Two More Veterans Pass Away. Two more member of the Grand Army died, making three who Lave passed away since the commencement ment of the present encampment. J. II. Rurke, of Rurlingame, Kan., fell dead while standing in front of the clerk's desk in the Pauley hotel. Death was caused by apoplexy induced by the heat of the day. The other death was that of George II. Smith, ex-member of the First New York dragoons, who had been visiting relatives in the city for some time. Smith was knocked
down by a horse which was driven rapidly around a coi ner just as he was
about to take a street car. He Mas removed to a hospital, but died in a short time of concussion of the brain.
people, they played a constant succession of national airs and military march s. " Numerous drum corps, composed of three or more veterans, marched through, the streets rendering old-time music in a fashion that excited the enthusiasm of the crowds. Several of
them were followed by thousands of people as they marched from place tc place. Fully 100KiO people were gathered in the streets to listen to the music, which was continued until nearly midnight. The excessive heat has caused a number of prostrations among the visitors, and several of the emergency hospitals have been completely rilled at times. Among the visitors who collapsed because of the heat, but none of whom is expected to die. are .1. M. Myers, Chicago: Mrs. A. L. Proper, Grand Rapids. Mich.: .7. F. Adams, Ellsworth. Wis., and John M. Davitt, Galesburg. 111.
Ollicers were elected at the session of the Woman's Relief corps, the national president being Mrs. Marian W. Rose, of St. Paul. The first business session of the Union Veteran Union was held at the old canitol at St. Paul, about 200 delegates being in attendance.

Circular Appears Attacking the War Record of Captain Coney.
The light for commander-in-chief has become active and bitter. Many topics
of a circular attacking the Avar record
of Captain P. II. Coney, of Kansas, a prominent candidate, are being handed around. The circular is not signed,
and Captain Cooncy declares' that the
attack is so utterly baseless as to be almost beneath his notice. He has
contended himself with giving it a simple denial and referring all persons
"w ho desired information as to his war
record to the history of the One Hun

It is the intention of the members of the Ladies of the Grand Army to
offer a resolution in the business meet
ing of the Grand Armv urging the
purchase of the McClean House at Ap pommatox for the purpose of convert ing it into a national museum. It i;
said that the plan has met with favor
on the part of the Confederate veter
ans. who have offered to aid in the
project. Miss Nellie Underwood and Mrs. Belknap, of the Ladies of the Grand Army, are pushing the plan. The twentieth annual convention of
the I nion eterans' Womans' Relief Union was opened in the house of representatives' hall in the old capitol by an address of welcome delivered by Mrs. Marion W. Rose, of this city. The response was given by Mrs. Villa Geer, of Ohio, chairman of the auditing committee. The convention is one of the largest the organization has held, over 250 delegates being present, representing all but seven states of the Union. The sessions are all executive, and after an address by the president, Ella Kraft, of New York, the convention listened to committee reports of the work done during the past year. The first move, toward securing the national encampment of 1!7 was made by the New York delegation, which announced its intention of getting it, if possible, for Saratoga.
Hands It in the Campaign Committee
Going to Cincinnati to Make His Race. New York, Aug. 15. Representative
Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, was a visitor at the headquarters of the national Republican congressional campaign committee. He deposited $1 as his contribution to the campaign fund.
Longworth met Senator Foraker and Representative Taylor, of Ohio; Chairman James S. Sherman and others. He said he would leave for Ohio Thurs
day or Friday, and that Mrs. Long-
worth would accompany him. Loi.g-
worth said he was a candidate for reelection, and expected that he would
win.
"All that I know about the situation
in my district," said the representative.
"has been learned from letters that I have received while I have been away. The only opposition to my reuomina-
tion that I have heard of is the candi
dacy of Theodore Ilorsman. The convention will not be held until October. I know nothing about the opposition
of the labor interests to me outside what I have read in the papers, from which I gather that I am on the general blacklist, but for what reason I do not know."
NEGRO SOLDIERS GO WILD
Doings That Are Absolutely Intolerable Whether the Soldier Js White or Black. Brownsville, Tex., Aug. 15. Evidently angered because of a search made among their ranks in an effort to apprehend a negro who attacked Mrs. Leon Evans at her home here, and who she asserted was a negro soldier, members of a battalion of negro federal troops stationed at Fort Brown, near here, entered Brownsville, became unruly and tired several volleys down Main street. As a result Frank Natus, a barkeeper, is dead, a bullet from a Krag-Jorgensenrifle having pierced his heart, and Policeman Joseph Dominge is wounded, his arm and hand shattered by a bullet, and his horse shot from under him. Twenty-three of the bullets fired entered the home of Louis R. Cowan; many went through the residence of
F. E. Stark, and several bricks were
shot into the walls of the Miller hotel, near a window where guests were
sleeping. After their depredations the negroes returned to their garrison. The
battalion of Fort Brown is composed
of companies B, C, and D, Twenty-
fifth infantry.
Atlantic City. N. J., Aug. 1.1. More than sixty lawyers, representing all the larger railroads cast of the Mississippi river, particularly those travers
ing the territory south of the Ohio river and the New England states, have assembled here to make a detailed study of the provisions of the
railroad rate MM,' w hich goes into effect on Aug. '-D. The members of the conference consist -,of, the chief counsels, general solicitors, and other member of the legal departments of the railroad corporations.. Ex-Judge Edward Baxter, of Nashville, Tenn., special counsel to several of the leading southern railroad companies, the presiding officer, said: Judge Explains the Meeting. "This meeting of attorneys was called by the executive and traffic officers of the railroads east of the Mississippi river and south of the Ohio river. Counsel of all the eastern trunk lines were also invited to participate in the meeting, although we afterward learned that the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore and Ohio and the New York Central roads, with some other compa
nies, were holding a meeting of their
own. Not Seeking a Way to Avoid.
"A series of printed questions, asking opinions as to the meaning of various provisions of the interstate com
merce act as amended on June 20 last,
was presented to us for answer. I an
swered them and my answers are be
ing taken up one by one for discussion
Already some have been approved.
some rejected and others laid over for further discussion. They involve many
important subjects and cannot be discussed in one or two days. We have
not met here to find any way to evade
or avoid the new law. We are here
olely to consult among ourselves and
decide just what our clients will be
compelled to do in order to carry out
the provisions of the new measure.
Character of the Questions. 'The questions are not secret, but
they are lengthy. We would not object
to making them public if the daily press would give the space to print them in full, together with their an
swers. There are questions which if printed alone with their answers would
e misunderstood by the public, so it
las been decided to keep the questions
to ourselves. It cannot be made too emphatic, however, that we are here
on a peaceful mission, and we do not
expect to even communicate with the
nterstate commerce commission."
