At their hal with other past commanders marched W. K(Smedburg, whom the delegation Is booming in snch an enthusiastic manner for the position of commander-in-chie- f. The post was officered by Department Commander W. H. L. Barnes. Adjutant-jrenera- l T. C. Masteller, and Ouarteruiaeter-genera- l 11. H. Wartield. Following the little Rhode Island group was the New Hampshire division, two hundred strong, marching to inspiring musio and headed by Department Com- mander K. B. 11 use. Vermont followed New Hampshire with 150 men. They were received with great apnlauso in compli- ment to Commander-in-chie- f Veazev, whose own post.heaaed the delegation. The Ver-mo- ut bors were headed by Department Commander W. L. Morgan, Adjutant-genera- l A. T. Woodward and Senior Vice-command- er Doty. The Department of the Po-toma- o, under command of James M. Pipes, was five hundred strong, and its rank pre- sented many faces familiar to tbe Nation. The strains of Virginia's martial musio was dying In the distance as Maryland, some three hundred strong, passed the stand. They elicited marked applause by their fine appearance, especially Post No. 7 of colored veterans. The delegation was headed by Department Commander Coh J. C. Hill. GOVERNORS ON FOOT. The Governor of a State is not often trudging along in the dust with the boys, but that sight was witnessed more than once to-da- y. As the Nebraska G. A. R., 500 strong, with Department Commander Teeter and Governor Thayer, passed the grand-stan- d it was impossible to tell whether the cheers were for the Governor, the soldier boys, or that venerable old fig- ure which always provokes the cheers of the volunteer soldiers Paul Vandervoort, past national commander-in-chie- f. Of course, Michigan, with its 15.000 vet- eraus. received tbe ovation of the day. The division was officered by Department Com- mander C. L. Eaton. Adjutant K. W. Noyes and Quartermaster-genera- l Spicer. Iowa came to the Wolverine State 800 strong, and marched with military precision to the ever-popul- ar tune of "Yankee Doodle." De- partment Commander C. L. Davidson, Adju- tant-general Longley and Quartermaster-genera- l Tamplin headed the column. That tbeO. A. K. indeed levels all distinctions was again exemplified when Indiana's 2,800 veterans moved in majestic colnmn past the reviewing stand. At the head and be- side Department-commande- r I. N. Walker, marched Gov. Alvin P. Hovey and right royally did the multitude greet Indiana's chief executive. But though a Governor, be was a soldier still, and not even by bow or glance did the hero of the battle of Champion Hills return the cheers of his ad- mirers. But there were others to share tbe generous ovation tendered to the Indiana bo vs. Gen. A. D. Streight. one of the lead- - MURPHY, HIBBEN & CO., IMPORTERS AND JOBBERS (Wlxolenalo ExcIuhivoLv.)

Peace arch at Fort and Griswold streets, through which the procession first passed, bore the inscription, "Cheerily cn, courageons friends, to reap the harvest of perpetual peace." And on the opposite side was read the sister inscription. "Their prowess brought us peace; undying be their fame." Another arch bridged Jefferson avenue, but the magniticent lower and war arch at tbe intersection of Woodward and Jefferson avenues was the monumental piece. A MONUMENTAL ARCH. It was bailt upon the plan of the famous Eiffel tower of Paris and is a double arch, looking through from either avenue. Tho first thing to strike the eye on this arch was the fluttering flaa held by the erect figure surmounting the tower a white flag with a square of red in the center. It is one of the numerous designs used by tho signal corps attached to the armies of the Union, by which messages were sent long distances from the code of signals. An ex- cellent picture is given of the tiring on Fort Sumter; in the foreground a covered signal mortar battery is represented as firing on tho confederate national rJag fly- ing from a staff' planted near by. Abroad reacnof water to the fort is wreathed in smoke from the guns. On the other sides are represented the surrender of Lee and the famous march down Pennsylvania ave- nue in Washington ou the occasion ot the last review in the war of tbe rebellion. "Triumphal arch." as it is call, d, ia an- other excellent piece of art. It displays in wood tho insignia or the various corps of tbe Union army. Crowning tbe structure are field-gun- s unlimbered aud in position, and on the caps of the lateral supports of the flanks are stands of arms. Slowly and majestically, in measured tread to martial music, the procession started from Woodward and Adams ave- nues, with Commander-in-chie- f Veazey and his staff in the lead, until the reviewing tnd was reached. Tbe stand from which the Couiinamler-iu-cbie- t aud his glittering staff reviewed the parade was situated on "Campos Martius," on the east side of Woodward avenue. On Illinois, the home of Lincoln, the home of Grant and of Lo- gan, was conferred tho honor of the right of march. Hut it was not because of these illustrious names tbat tbe Prairie State was ho honored, but because of one whose service to the veterans of the State and Nation dates since the war Dr. B. F. Stephenson, the founder of the G. A. K. Dr. Stephenson was born in Wayne county, Illinois, in 1842. and died m Menard ooun-tv- , Aug. 80, 1S71. aged forty-nin- e years. His remains lie in the aoldiers'lot of Hose Hill Cemetery, Petersburg. 111. He organ- ized the G. A. IL in lbftj, and a few months later J. N. Coltrin and Joseph Prior were joined with ten others in forming the first post, which was instituted at Decatnr, Anril 6, lS6fi. under a charter granted by Dr. Stephenson. TOST NO. 1 WAS THERE. The survivors of Pott No. 1 were in a con- spicuous little group in the Illinois delega- tion, aud their appearance was the signal for a tribute of cheers. Department Com- mander Horace S. Clark led the command, and three thousand representatives of the loyal sons of tbe "Sucker" State were n line. Among the prominent ones were Gen. Post. General Pavey, State Auditor; Col. Sexton, postmaster of Chicago, and Colonel Cochrane. An umbrella corps, three hun- dred strong, was a feature of the Illinois division. In the corner a square of blue umbrellas represented each State in stripes of red, white and blue in column. As each division marched beneath the triumphal arch little girls appropriately decked in the national colors bhowered the veterans with bouquets. The enthusiasm which greeted the second or Wisconsin division, seven hundred strong, was unbounded. In the front rank and borne high in U .air en the top of a flag-sta- tt was perched "Old Abe," the stalled eagle which became a part of Wisconsin's history a quarter of a century ago. Cheer after cheer arose from the multitude in tribute to the war bird. Many a civilian could only divine tbe cause of all tbia enthusi- asm, but to probably every G. A. R. man in line to day the strange history of tbat bird is a tiretud storv to his children. In 1661. when the Eighth Wisconsin Kegimenten- - 1 tered the war, a tame eagle, captured in the Wisconsin woods, accompanied the regi- ment south. Taught to perch upon a staff', it was allotted to a color bearer, and in a few mouths the bird became tbe emblem of the regiment With a strange devotion that so partook of the mysterious as to en- gender superstition in many miuds the eagle clung to his regiment with unwaver- ing loyalty. Amia the roar of cannon and the shriek of battle tho eaglo of the Eighth Wisconsin maintained ' bis perch, at times, too, soaring nrietly above the heads of the .brave boys, shriek- ing shrill defiance to the enemy, and then- - returning to bis perch. No ball ever attained '01d Abe" as he was christened, and iu many bloody battles tbe soldiers of tbe Eighth seemed to share the good fortune of the noble bird. In lB(V"01d Abe'' was "mustered out" with the Eighth, and thenceforth made bis borne as a privi- leged bird in tho public paik at Madison. He survived the war twelve years, and at hie death bis funeral waa conducted with military honors, liut he was never buried. A ekilltul taxidermist perpetuated the form and shape of the glorious bird, and tbo Eighth Kegiraent still bears "Old Abe" in the front rank. In line with the Wisconsin boys were Gen. Lucius Fairchild, or of the State and of the G. A. R., and Col. A. G. Weissert, present candidate for commander-in-chie- f. De- partment Commander W. 1L Upham was in command, and Past Department Command- er Colonel Hrayan and Colonel Griffin, who was breveted brigadier-genera- l at tbe close of the war for gallantry, were among the familiar figures that tramped to the music. The Pennsylvania division came next, 1,500 strong, marching in good order to sprightly musio furnished by tbe post bands. Department Commander Boyer rode at tbe head with Adjutant Town and (juartermaMier-genera- l Abraham Levering, followed by the aids. Pittsburg posts led the delegation. OHIO'S BIG TURNOUT The Ohio delegation was a vast army of itself. No less than 13,000 veteraus tramped to the music of the bands. Besides Depart- ment Commander A. M. Warner marched Gen. S. H. Hurst, Ohio's candidate for comma- nder-in-chief. A conspicuous figure waa Gen. Manning F. Force, who enlisted as a major in tbe Twentieth regiment and was made a full major-gener- al a year before the close of the war. Col. A. L. Conger, Gen. P. H. Dowlingand Gen. 1L B. Brown were among the past department commanders in line. New York, 2.500 strong, came next and was the recipient of an enthusiastic greet- ing. Thoy were headed by Department Commander C. H. Freeman, Adjutant-genera- l W. W. Bennett and Quartermaster-genera- l A. 1. Pentield. William Van Keuren, an octogenarian member of the post aud veteran of both the Mexican and civil wars, was dressed in a Miitmadeof the patriotio red, white and blue. Then came a score of battle flags, several shot thronch in shreds and tatters,- - prondly carried aloft bv their bearers. They made a very interestinc display com- ing as they did from all the regiments in western New York and com- prising colors that, waved on every im- portant field during the war. The Connecticut division came next, and following Connecticut was Massachusetts, 2.500 strong. Tbeir grand display and sol- dierly appearance caused the greatest enthu- siasm as soon as they hove in sight, headed by Department Commander A. A. Smith. Adjutunt-aener- al H. C. Moore and Senior Vice-couiman- der J. K. Churchill. Forty New Jersey veterans were accompanied by J. K. Mulliken. commander, ana Past De- partment Commander H. N. Stevens, and Past Department Commander Charles Bur- rows. One hundred ex-Uni- on soldiers led by Department Commander Samuel L. Miller, represented tho State of Maine, but in the ranks were moro than one man of national reputation. Gen. George L. Beal, tho dashing colonel who for gallantry waa breveted brigadier-gener- al at the close of the war, marched in the ranks. Among the other familiar figures were Past Com- mander Neitou Howard, 1L II. Burbauk The Line of Boys in Bine Required Six Hours to Pass the Ke?iewing Stand.

A. R. History. Special to the IndUuapohs Journal. Detroit, Aug. 4. It was precisely ten minutes after 5 o'clock this evening when, with a sigh cf relief, Commander-in-chie- f Veazey swung his slouch hat on his head and grasped the hand of ex-Presid- Hayes. Six hours before he had given the sigual for the bead of the columu to move, and for over five hours be had kept on his feet while the veterans marched past the grand-stan- d and salutod. It was a long, and try in at spell, but the other occupants of the grand-stan- d, which included Govs. Pope of Vermont, Hovey of Indiana, Thayer of Nebraska, General Miles, ex-Gover- nor Oglesby of Illinois, or Wiuans of Michigan. Con- ger of Ohio, ex-Senat- or Thomas W. Palmer, United States Senator Manderson of Nebraska, and General Smith, of the Nineteenth United States regulars, stood it bravely, and although they mu- tually agreed that they were glad enough it '.vas over, and the vet- erans, footsore and worn out as they were, for the line of march covered over five miles, were still in tho best of spirits. What with tbe en- thusiasm of the immense crowds, the broad and well-pave- d avenues, the ample police arrangements and the innovation in the shape of the wire-rope- s that were stretched on either side of the roadway along the entire line of march, and which kept the throngs from encioaching on tho formation of the line, they were ready to admit that it was one of the most pleasing and successful turnouts in the history of the organization. The arrangements for feeding the multitude were likewise ample and the tens of thousands of hungry men aud women who lied hither and thither in search of sustenance for the inner man wheu the parade was finally disbanded, found no cause for complaint. This bas been a proud day in the history of the Grand Army of tbe Kepublic. It has witnessed the grandest parade iu the his- tory of the organization, and has made the twenty-tifth- . or "silver encampment," an occasion of magnificence and grandeur sur- passing the fondest dreams cherished by its humble founder. Dr. Stephenson, of Illinois, twenty-fiv- e years ago. For one solid, continuous six hours, under a bright sun, 40,000 veterans tramped sturdily over the line of march, and such was the inspira- tion of the moment that even the feeblest of the maimed and crippled comrades found themselves adequate to the ordeal of the live miles' march. The firing of a salute from the United States steamship Michi- gan in the harbor auounced to the waiting veterans, at 10:00, that tbe command to move had been given by the commander-in-ch- ief. When General Veazeey ap- peared before the reviewing-stand,- . the vast concourse of people clustered about the campus aud cheered themselves hoarse. Tbe General reined up his charger, how- ever, and paused. General Alger and the Detroit Pot. his escort, passed by him and dre.w up before the reviewing stand, front- ing it with canes at a charge. General Veazey looked on with a gratified umile, then, lifting his hat gracefully from his brow, he allowed his horse to pass with slow steps before them. As he passed tbe reviewing stand, every occupant arose to bis feet. Foremost among them was the great Indian-tighte- r, General Miles, of tho regular army, who had been leaning over, bareheaded, with bis white-glove- d hands knitted above bis sword hilt. General Veazey reached the end of the post, and the Detroit veterans unfurled their flag, Schremser's band struck up a lively air, and the crowd cheered once more. General Veazey then rode to the stand, and, dis- mounting, entered his box in front. The Detroit Post passed by, and the parade con- tinued toward the massive war arch. REVIEWED BY Till: COMMANDER. Thrilling Description of a Gorgeous Parade That Can Never TJ Forgotten. Detroit, Aug. 4. This is a day which will be long remembered by the veterans of the Grand Army of the Kepublic As the opening day of the twenty-fift- h annual en- campment, it marks a quarter of a century in the growth of the organization, and every Boldier realizes tbat it must also mark the aome in the prosperity of that great order which year by year bas en- veloped in its fraternal fold every State of the great Union from Maine to Texas and from Florida to Washington. If sentiment, and sympathy, and love could control tbe destiny of tbe G. A. R it wonld live for- ever, hot tho inexorable logic of statistics sounds a warning to every veteran that in time the surviving comrade of the surviv- ing post must be "mustered out' and the G. A. R. be known no more, save to the memory of the grateful nation it defended and preserved. Every reunion im- presses upon the surviving veterans the fact that the period in tbeir lives is finally reached when the death rate, like arithmetical progression, multiplies year by year, until now the eternal messenger decimates their numbers in more deadly ratio than did all the battles of the war. It has therefore been tbe desire of all the prominent leaders of the organization that the twenty-fift- h encampment should be the most successful iu the history of the G. A. It, and the parade alike the most magnificent the order has ever known. Certain it is the multitudes which are as- sembled in Detroit to-da- y are larger than the City of the Straits has ever greeted be- fore, and in the magnificence of pageantry and the beauty of decorations to-day- 's pa- rade is acknowledged to be without prece- dent in the years that have gone. As the tried and trusty soldiers of '01 were eager for the battle, so the veterans of '91 were eager for the grand parade, which was to recall so many reminiscences of former days. He fore the morning sun had kissed the spangled arches and emblazoned the multitude of decorations that marked the line of march the Grand Army bands were abroad, and tbe measured tread of the vet- erans preparing for the march sounded through tbe streets. Promptly at the hour indicated and with a military precision wbicb showed tbe volunteer soldiers had forgotten none of their early training, they assembled at tbe &me of the Thins to hich the Tost" master-Gener- al Is Giving Attention.

Some of Mr. Wanatualter'a Plans for UztenoV log and Improving Its Efficiency. Breelal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Aug. 4. "Tho most that we can do," said Postmaiter-gen- f ral Wana-mak- er to-da- y "is to do as well as well as we can under existing postal laws. We can ask the attention of the people to re- forms, and inform the members of Congresr about them when they ask us. We cannot ourselves make laws providing for postal telegraphy, postal eavings banks. 1-c- postage and universal free delivery, no matter how 6trongly we believe in these things. We can only suggest; it is for Con- gress to pass tbe laws." This in answer to the question, hastily propounded to-da- y and replied to ofl-hau- d. whether postal legislation of importance would be likely to pass the next Congress, and what Mr. Wauamakcr proposed to do about t. "You spoke of the postal telegraph; how does that 6taud, and what can be done abont itT" "The limited postal telegraph plan. I think,'1 the Postmaster General replied, 'is the best postal telegraph plan yet proposed simply because it is the easiest and most businesslike and it is not immodest for me to say that, for it was the product of months of conference and agitation amongst men familiar with the telegraph, business, as well as tbe best postal systems of Europe. It was unanimously re- ported by the Senate committee, and only failed by a vote in the House committee, and that, too, after a series ot discussions that were in favor of the hilL It has been made out to be a tremendous exaggeration of governmental power, you know paternal- ism, armies of civil servants, millions of expense, and all that Itisnothiugof tbe sort; it is simply a proposition that the present forces and properties of the Post-offi- ce Department shall help out the tele- graph companies, and that the tel- egraph companies, in return for this favor, aud in consideration ot this saving, shall transmit telegrams more cheaply, and so bring their immense bene- fits within the reach of ten or twenty mill- ions of people, say, instead of one million. Personally, I believe this departure would ..yJhe telegraph companies certainly, it ib no infraction of their vested rights to do as much for them as they do for tbe de- partment, and. hence, for the people. It ia a proposition directly to benent hundreds of cities and towns in this country, and to benefit, indirectly the whole country, for it proposes to connect at all points with tbe postal service; and tbat is universally used. It bringa more of tbe people to- - ether, it promotes social correspondence. E )xcuee me, though; I did not mean to argue for it to you. We shall have to wait until the time cornea again for that. "No, I do not see that the plan will have to be modified much. No objection was mado to it last (tension, from those wbo looked at it from a purely publio stand- point. It was defeated because tt was supposed to antagonize certain privato interests. I do not believe tbat it did. but if it was fought with tbo belief that it antagonized private in- terests, why there was the fart, and thero was nothing to do about it. Von may b certain that the limited postal telegraph plan is coming. It is not coining, of course, nntil tbe people understand it and ak their representatives in Congress to vote lor it." THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK. "I see,n was the answer. "Doubtless it is much the same with tho postal savings hank plant" "Yea. almost exactly the same. That has been falsely assumed to antagonize tha banking interests. My own opinion is that by taking a hundred millions of dollars of money out of the stockinga and from under the floors and Mr. Gould estimates the total of unused savings in this country as high as tbat it would go to all tbe bank- ing and loan institutions, and not only earn profits, interest, money, for its depos- itors, but it would put jut tbat amount of money into circulation, and not only would the bankers profit thereby, but the men in the smaller kinds of business wonld have just so much more capital within their reach to work with. That is not the main thing, cither; it is this addition of snch a tremendous quick capital to the uses of tbe whole country. The main thing, as 1 believe, is th:U'it would make millions of people yes, millions-thri- fty, saving, prosperous, proud: it wonld make them capitalists. Hut what I am saying is not to the point, cither. Your question ia whether the members of tbe new Congress will look at it in this way, and whether they will pats a bill to permit postmasters in remote qn&rters, where vested rights would not be lutcrferrd with, to receive deposits which the government should benecnrity for." "You spoke a moment ago about postage, and as though you would like to see iu" "Yes, that reform is very desr to me; but thinK what is involved. To cut the post- ages on letters iu two would mean an annual deficit of S15,(X,0. In addition to the pres- ent one. We are not to blame for the r res- ent one. you kuow. which has. 1 tbink, been reduced one-hal- f, say :i.M..UM, during the last two years. We had to do five million dollars' worth of free business tvr tbe other executive departments, iu the first place. Then we do a losing buiineda of 8l.00U,(XO or 15.0UQ.UC0 on the newspaper mails, which must be made up by letter postage. This is proper: waouabt to do it; for if there is one way to dissemi- nate intelligence, which ia the object of the PostoQice Department, more than another, it is through tho newspapers, 'lbeu. 1 imagine the average person would rather have bin paper than his letter come cheap- ly lu tbe mails, because he has it come ofteuer, as a general thing. Dnt with these great items, which at least we ought to have- - credit for, taken into ac- count, our deficit is or;ly apparent. Yet there seems to be no "way of making it appear only apparent, for it is bard to get money appropriated for the use of the serv- ice nnlesa it is keen that it comes back dol- lar fur dollar. Tho only thing we can do is to economize where w can widely do so, and to develop the profitable parts of the business.' "Hut would not the revenue rerorer itself gradually, although you make this redae-tio- uf A QUESTION OF SlEVENTK. "Yes; and I was just coming to that point.

A. MaJloy, Assistant Adjutant-genera- l Bigger and others. lhe!dbo delegation nnmnered twelve persons, including United States Senator Shonpe, Department Commander Judon cpouord and Asst. Adjt.-len- . Norman it. Camp, of Boise City. Twenty loyal veter- ans from Alabama were under command of Department Commauder Seymour Bullock and staff. The delegation included mem bers from posts in Montgomery. Mobile, Birmingham. Cullman and Decatur, and tbeir appearance was tbe signal for cheers. 1 be naval veterans were loudly cheered as they passe ', .n review, and the ancient tars bowed to tbe compliments, i be sons of V eterans. five thousand strong, and m command of Commauder-ln-chie- t L. J. Webb, brought up the rear of the long pro- cession. The boys marched in fine style, and received marked applause along the entire line. The spectacle of an ex-Pre- si dent of tbe United S .iea niurcbing in tbe ranks is so unusual th it the tremendous ovation tendered ex-- 1 resident Hayes to- day waa hardly a surprise. The cheers which swept along tbe line of march like a huge, but slowly-risin- g tidal-wav- e, was ever an indication of the presence of tbe distinguished ex-Preside- nt. Mr. Haves was recoguized by all as be marched with hia post, from Fremont, O., down (Jriswold street, and, near the intersection of Cou-gres- s street, kissed several little girls, who ran out to meet him. Tbo old gentle- man carried a palm-lea- f fan and ap- peared to enjoy the occasion quito us much as his comrades of the post. One of tbe most unique features of to-day- 's parade was an old army newsboy on horse- back. "Doc" C. B. Aubrey peddled papers at the front, and when called upou to do army duty responded with alacrity. He waa made an honorary member of Kobert ChivasPost,of Milwaukee, old Iron Brigade men, for his service. To-da- y he rode on horseback, with a bundle of old war papers uuder bis arm. The girl cadets, a single platoon of thirteen, in red caps and gold chevrons, gold collars and blue suits of McCoy Post, Ohio, were loudly applauded as they kept correct. line aud stepped ac- curately to the musio of the rattly drum corps. The Michigan female band hbared with their Ohio sisters the plaudits of the multitude. One of the features of the first division was the Illinois goose, which was bung on a pole, with the inscription that everything was "lovely and tho goose hangs high." Another was the 'leather-dresse- d man from Wisconsin, who bore the badger. "Old Abe." the Wisconsiu eagle was, of course, cheered at every cor- ner. It was a noticeable fact tbat tho old war tnnes. "Marching through Georgia," and "The Red, White and Blue." with oc- casional bursts of "Yankee Doodle." called out the most vociferous applause on all oc- casions. MARCHED WITH TITE BOYS. Ex-Govern- or Oglesby and Captain Mere- dith, chief of tbe Bureau of Printing and Engraving, both marched with the Illinois boys. Tbe white locks of the venerable ex-Gover- made him conspicuous every- where, and he shared with ex-Gover- Fairchild, of Wisconsin, the cheers of the spectators. United States Senator G. L. Shoup is one of the six veterans who came all the way from Idaho to attend tbe en- campment. The Senator marched w ith his comrades throughout the day. As New York swept around the corners with a splendid hand and drum corps and their armed guards at the head with their gleaming bayonets, the appearance was the signal for a cheer. But the Continentals, with cocked hats and regimentals, led by Uncle Sam himself, took tbe crowd, who cheered itself hoarse. This unique band, with its ofl-looki- ng drummer, led the three solid platoons bearing the old war colors of New York. Tbe war-screa- m of tbe. bagpipes of the Twenty-nint- h New lork. laying "The Campbells are Coming," was E eard from all points. The post wore Uleugarya and carried two shattered regi- mental liags. Secretary Proctor rode in a carriage just behind the commander-in-chie- f. He was all smiles and appeared to be enjoying himself immensely. He was kept continually busy raising his bat, in response to the plaudits ot tbe crowd. As tbe Pennsylvania division passed, tbe old battle-dag- s bore their old. titles, "JSpott-sylvania- ," "Shiloh." aud other names of fields rendered immortal by terrible strife. A storm of applause saluted these battle-scarre- d colors. Among the other prominent men in attendance anu participating iu tbe parade were Governor Page, of Vermont; Governor Winans, of Michigan; Senator Manderson. of Michigau; Presideut Palm- er, of the world's fair, aud Geu. Henry A. Barnnm. of New York. The day was marked by many pleasant incidents, but none attracted more admira- tion than the spectacle of an ex-Preside- nt of the United States honoring the com- - mander.ih -- chief of tho G. A. 1L . Ex-Presid- ent Hayes, accompanied by Col. J. F. J. llecker and the committee tbat purchased the 11.000 diamond G. A. IL badge for General Veazey, called at the na- tional department headquarters to-da- y to make the formal presentation. The cere- mony took place in tbe large parlor of tho hotel, where Genet al Veazev stood with his wife, surrounded by his entire staff. PRESENTING THE MEDAL. "Commander-in-chie- f Veazey," said ex-Presid- ent Hayes, "the comrades who with me have been honored with places on your staff, have assigned to me the agreeable doty of presenting to you this badge. They ask you to accept it as a token of the es- teem, the admiration and affection in which yon are held by ourselves and by our com- rades of the G. A. R. It will, we trust, bring present joy to yon and your family. It will remind yon and thee- - -- f tbe honora- ble part yon bore in great event of this age in the sac and stain-lee- s war for union and jertv. Ap- plause.! During your term t office you have, as you promised when yon were chosen, amply kept between yourself ami your comrades, not only the touoh of the elbow, but also the touch of the heart. Our hope is that this simple gift will remind you pleasantly of the events, and scenes, and comradeship of the great conllict; that It will recall the famous day of Gettysburg the day of your opportunity, of your hon- orable service and of your signal triumph. It will also, we hope, be to you a well-sprin- g of gratifying meditation in the future. Ju after times those who bear yonr name and share your blood will rejoice as they look upon this emblem their prized family heirloom, and be tilled with gratitude tbat Providence allotted to them the inspiring privilege of tracing tbeir origin to a man who in his young manhood was a splendid figure in the decisive battle of thediviue war, and who stood faithfully and bravely by Abraham Lincoln from its beginning to its end. (Applause.) Onr wishes and our Erayers are toat your life m;iy be long aud tbe land wbicb, in the day of it deadly peril, you did vour pait to save," Applause, General Veazey replied briefly, thanking the donors for their good wishes and graceful compliment. WASHINGTON WILL. HE CIIOSKN. Little Doubt that the Capital Will Secure the Next Uucampuieitt. Detroit, Aug. 4. The next National En-eampm- of the G. A. R. will be held at Washington city. The justice of this as- sertion may not be conceded by tho parti- sans of Lincolu, NeK, but the logic of the situation fully justifies the statement Dil- igent inquiries at the various department headquarters indicate that when tho roll of States is called on the location of the next encampment Washington will get the prize by a vote of nearly two to one. The various candidates for commander-in-chie- f are pressing their claims with in- creased energy to-nig- ht, and tbe contest is by no means over. Charles P. Lincoln, of Washington, Assistant Commissioner of Pensions, bas withdrawn from the race. As it stands to-nig- ht tbe choice of comma- nder-in-chief is between Weissert, of Wisconsin; Smedberg, of Californis; llnrst, of Ohio, and Hedge, ot New York. Weis-asrt'- a candidaey is tha only one that is Continued on Second rage. ers ana projectors ot tne iamous L.iuuy prisou tunnel, and Colonel Walker, an- other who escaped through the historie un- derground passage, were recognized by all familiar with the history of that daring aaventure. Tbe Indiana contingent marched to the music of the band of tbe Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home, the musicians being all under sixteen years of age. Following in their order were tbe di- visions of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Delaware, Minnesota. Missouri, Oregon, West Virginia, South Dakota, Washington and Alaska, Arkansas, Montana, Texas, Idaho and Alabama. The naval veterans and tbe Sons of Veterans, 5,000 strong, brought np tbe rear and closed the parade, Minnesota, under the leadership of Com- mander CD. Parker, contributed 250 men to the magnificent parade, but there waa one man in the ranks who received many rounds of applause ere the march ended. It was past national Commander-in-chie- f John P. Kea, who Insisted on marching with tbe rank and file. A private soldier shared with General Kea the admiration of the multitude. It was James Conway, who, at the battle of Altoona Pass, captured the flag of the Thirty-tift- b Mississippi Keg-ime- nt and bore it bravely from the field. Past Department Commander Becker, Wheeler aud Compton also marched in tbe ranks, There was a wild t cheer when the Mis- souri veterans hove in sight. It was this State tbat had furnished William Warner, one of tbo most popular commanders-in-chie- f the G. A. It. has ever known, and every man who marched in line was recog- nized as one who. in his devotion to the Union, bad undergone the dangers of guerrilla warfare and seen families divided against themselves in tbe dark days of lb&5. Department Commander George W. Martin, the one-arm- ed hero who lost a limb tbe first day of Gettysburg, led his command of 800 men with dignity. In the ranks were recoguized the familiar features of "Private Cahoon," who was at Antie-ta- m. at Fredericksburg, at Gettysburg, and with Grant in all the bloody battles after the silent soldier took command of the Army of the Potomac. Tne Hansom Post, of St. Louis, came in for its share of ad- miration. It was 200 strong, and accompa- nied by tbe United States Regular Band. This is the first year the Kansom Post ever attended an encampment when their com- mander. Gen. W. T. Sherman, was not pres- ent. His death is a deep personal grief to every member of this post, as indeed it is to every G. A. R. man in line to-da- y. THE WESTERN STATES. The Department of Colorado and Wyo- ming waa headed by a zouave drum corps and followed quickly upon the heels of tbo receding Hooaiers. Tbe department had about one hundred men in line, officered by Department Commander Cooke, Adjutant-gener- al Trounstein and Quartermaster-gener- al MoLsnathan. Four hundred vet- erans of Kansas, led by Department Com- mander Timothy McCarthy, represented the Grasshopper State, and each carried upon his breast the Kansas G. A. R. pin, bearing the figure of this destructive little insect. Past Department Commanders Anderson. Pond. Stewart, Booth, Guthrie and Captain Coulter, of the National Coun- cil of Adminns Winton. were in line. Com- mander McCarthy enjoys tbe distinction of being tbe only living man who waa literal- ly in at the opening and the closing ot the war. A soldier at Fort Sumter when the first gun waa fired, he remained in the service and was at Appomattox when tbe enemy surrendered. Delaware, forty strong, made a pretty bowing as the division marched, in a sprightly manner, past the grand-stan- d. The' were officered by Department Com- mander A. J. Woodman, Adjutant J. B. Stradley and Quartermaster-genera- l D. B. Ross. Oregon was but meagerly represented, hut not so with Kentucky. Five hundred comrades from Kentucky were marshaled by Department Commander S. C. Hills. Lieutenant Hills waa captured in the bat- tle of Lovejoy Station, by tbe confederates, while be was aiding Colonel Kelly to hold his shattered lines against General Wheel- er's whole cavalry command. He was car- ried to Andersonville, where he was con- - nnea nve montns. wett Virginia con- tributed two hundred men to the grand and Department Commander L H. Farade. led the division. Past Department Commander Haymond and Col. C. B. Smith. one of the trusted lieutenants of the gal lant Custer, were in line. South Dakota, though a fcmall delegation, made a splendid showing, and was cordially received. De partment Commander Palmer led tbe dele gation, accompanied by Adjutant-genera- l lieeridge aud Uhiei-ol-sta- t! SHby. Tho Washington and Alaska department, the most distant of all the subordinate di visions of tho G. A. R.. was represented by a little group. The members of the depart- ment. Commander D. G. Lovoll, Assistant Adjutant general Frank Clendening, Past Department Commander A. M. Brooks and others, were in line. The gallaut General Clayton, brother of tbe Clayton who was murdered as a result of the Breckeoridge Clayton congressional contest, led Arkan sas's fifty men in the line of march. Past Department Commander Stephen Wheeler and Captain . l. Greaves, . who waawouuded a l a m w nve rimes at tne name or lcgsburg, were in the ranks.

New York, Aug. 4. A bitter fight was began to-da- y by the Sugar Trust against Clans Spreekels, who has been a thorn in the side ot tbe sugar refiners on this coast for many years. About ten days ago the president of tbe Sugar Trust was called away from the city by the ultimately fatal illness of bis father, i C. Ilavemeyer. While he was away tbe Sugar Trust main- tained its price for granulated sugar, but Claus Spruckels, who had been keeping bis rate up to those of the Trust, at once an- nounced a reduction of 116 cent per pound, lie cut seriously into the trade of tbe Sugar Trust, hut no action to meet the cut was taken as it was beliered tbat s soou an bp reck els' 8 supply wa placed he would retire from the market. He kept on rilling orders, however, and practically supplied all demands. Yesterday President Ilavemeyer returned and at once ordered the Sugar Trust price for granulated sugar reduced ceut per pound, or 116 below the cut made by Spreokels. The latter to- day made another reduction, bringing bis price 110 below that of the Trust. The re- ductions made bring the price of granu- lated sugar down to 4 cents per pound iu Philadelphia, on which 2 per cent, is al- lowed off. making the net cash price 3 J2100 cents, the lowest on record. Tbe price named by the Sngar Trust is 4 116. In Au- gust, after the formation of the Trust, sugar sold for 834 cents per pound. A cu- rious feature of the tight is that in tbe raw eusar market both parties are urgent buy- ers, and the Sugar Trust to-da- y bought raw sugar at 3516 cents. This brines the profit cf retining down to a very low point. Young Hopkins "Will Not Contest. Mktueux, Mass.. Aug. 4. Mr. Oell.the pri- vate secretary of Searles. yesterday stated to a reporter tbat be did not think Mr. Timothy Hopkins would contest Mrs. Hop- kins Searles a will. Mr. bell described Mr. Hopkins as a keen, level-heade- d man, who had already received great kindness from Mr. Hopkins Searle. and be said distinctly tbat it was intended by Mr. Searles tbat Mr. Hopkins should be treated fairly. Of course, the estate would be held together, be said, but Mr. Searles was a man who was straightforward and kindly, with a keen senxe of personal honor and justice, and the relations existing between him and Mr. Hopkins have not be n correctly stated in the papers. As to Mr. Searlea'a move- ments in tbe railroad and financial world, there wonld be no chauge. Mr. Searles bas bad practical control of tbe large estate for a long time and hia wife has depended on his judgment in the manaeement cf the large property. Mr. Iiell refused to talk concerning Mr. Searles's immediate move- ments, deeming them entirely a matter of priYato moment. McCamraant 1V1U Reply. IlARRisncRO, Pa., Aug. 4. Attorney-gener- al Hensel held a long interview with Auditor-genera- l McCammant to-da- y rela- tive to making answer to the letter received by the latter from City Treasurer Wright, of Philadelphia, some days since. The Auditor-genera- l will reply to tbe letter either to-morr- or Thursday. It is stated to-ntff- bt that the Attorney-trener- al has ad- vised against the prosecution by tbe Com- monwealth of tax delinquents, on the ground that the expense ot collection is too great, being about $10 for each one. The Auditor-genera- l, it is said, took the position that the law was mandatory, and that he must proceed against all delin- quents. Scott 11 L Knin, Pa., Aug. 4. Ex-Co- d gressnian W. Ij.

Two weeks ago. on tho recommeudation of his physician, he went to the Cambridge mineral springs, hot the water, instead of benefiting biui, aggravated bis sickness, and he returned home to take to bis lml. from which be bas rarely risen since. The members of Mr. Scott's family are all here, and though there ia little given to the pub-li- e regarding Mr. Scott's illness, they can- not conceal their anxious concern ordis-suis-o tho fact that he is a very sick man.

K(Smedburg,whom the delegation Is booming in snch anenthusiastic manner for the position ofcommander-in-chie- f. The post was officeredby Department Commander W. H. L.Barnes. Adjutant-jrenera- l T. C. Masteller,and Ouarteruiaeter-genera- l 11. H. Wartield.

Following the little Rhode Island groupwas the New Hampshire division, twohundred strong, marching to inspiringmusio and headed by Department Com-mander K. B. 11 use. Vermont followedNew Hampshire with 150 men. They werereceived with great apnlauso in compli-ment to Commander-in-chie- f Veazev, whoseown post.heaaed the delegation. The Ver-mo- ut

bors were headed by DepartmentCommander W. L. Morgan, Adjutant-genera- l

A. T. Woodward and Senior Vice-command-er

Doty. The Department of the Po-toma- o,

under command of James M. Pipes,was five hundred strong, and its rank pre-sented many faces familiar to tbe Nation.The strains of Virginia's martial musio wasdying In the distance as Maryland, somethree hundred strong, passed the stand.They elicited marked applause by theirfine appearance, especially Post No. 7 ofcolored veterans. The delegation washeaded by Department Commander Coh J.C. Hill.

GOVERNORS ON FOOT.The Governor of a State is not often

trudging along in the dust with the boys,but that sight was witnessed more thanonce to-da- y. As the Nebraska G. A. R.,500 strong, with Department CommanderTeeter and Governor Thayer, passed thegrand-stan- d it was impossible to tellwhether the cheers were for the Governor,the soldier boys, or that venerable old fig-ure which always provokes the cheers ofthe volunteer soldiers Paul Vandervoort,past national commander-in-chie- f.

Of course, Michigan, with its 15.000 vet-eraus. received tbe ovation of the day. Thedivision was officered by Department Com-mander C. L. Eaton. Adjutant K. W.

But though a Governor,be was a soldier still, and not even by bowor glance did the hero of the battle ofChampion Hills return the cheers of his ad-mirers.

the city, marked the line of march. Peacearch at Fort and Griswold streets, throughwhich the procession first passed, bore theinscription, "Cheerily cn, courageonsfriends, to reap the harvest of perpetualpeace." And on the opposite side was readthe sister inscription. "Their prowessbrought us peace; undying be their fame."Another arch bridged Jefferson avenue, butthe magniticent lower and war arch at tbeintersection of Woodward and Jeffersonavenues was the monumental piece.

A MONUMENTAL ARCH.It was bailt upon the plan of the famous

Eiffel tower of Paris and is a double arch,looking through from either avenue. Thofirst thing to strike the eye on this archwas the fluttering flaa held by the erectfigure surmounting the tower a white flagwith a square of red in the center. It isone of the numerous designs used by thosignal corps attached to the armies of theUnion, by which messages were sent longdistances from the code of signals. An ex-

cellent picture is given of the tiring onFort Sumter; in the foreground a coveredsignal mortar battery is represented asfiring on tho confederate national rJag fly-ing from a staff' planted near by. Abroadreacnof water to the fort is wreathed insmoke from the guns. On the other sidesare represented the surrender of Lee andthe famous march down Pennsylvania ave-nue in Washington ou the occasion ot thelast review in the war of tbe rebellion.

"Triumphal arch." as it is call, d, ia an-other excellent piece of art. It displays inwood tho insignia or the various corps oftbe Union army. Crowning tbe structureare field-gun- s unlimbered aud in position,and on the caps of the lateral supports ofthe flanks are stands of arms.

Slowly and majestically, in measuredtread to martial music, the processionstarted from Woodward and Adams ave-nues, with Commander-in-chie- f Veazey andhis staff in the lead, until the reviewingtnd was reached. Tbe stand from which

the Couiinamler-iu-cbie- t aud his glitteringstaff reviewed the parade was situated on"Campos Martius," on the east side ofWoodward avenue. On Illinois, the homeof Lincoln, the home of Grant and of Lo-gan, was conferred tho honor of the rightof march. Hut it was not because of theseillustrious names tbat tbe Prairie Statewas ho honored, but because of one whoseservice to the veterans of the State andNation dates since the war Dr. B. F.Stephenson, the founder of the G. A. K.Dr. Stephenson was born in Wayne county,Illinois, in 1842. and died m Menard ooun-tv- ,

Aug. 80, 1S71. aged forty-nin- e years.His remains lie in the aoldiers'lot of HoseHill Cemetery, Petersburg. 111. He organ-ized the G. A. IL in lbftj, and a few monthslater J. N. Coltrin and Joseph Prior werejoined with ten others in forming the firstpost, which was instituted at Decatnr,Anril 6, lS6fi. under a charter granted byDr. Stephenson.

TOST NO. 1 WAS THERE.The survivors of Pott No. 1 were in a con-

spicuous little group in the Illinois delega-tion, aud their appearance was the signalfor a tribute of cheers. Department Com-

mander Horace S. Clark led the command,and three thousand representatives of theloyal sons of tbe "Sucker" State were nline. Among the prominent ones were Gen.Post. General Pavey, State Auditor; Col.Sexton, postmaster of Chicago, and ColonelCochrane. An umbrella corps, three hun-dred strong, was a feature of the Illinoisdivision. In the corner a square of blueumbrellas represented each State in stripesof red, white and blue in column. As eachdivision marched beneath the triumphalarch little girls appropriately decked inthe national colors bhowered the veteranswith bouquets.

The enthusiasm which greeted the secondor Wisconsin division, seven hundredstrong, was unbounded. In the front rankand borne high in U .air en thetop of a flag-sta- tt was perched"Old Abe," the stalled eagle whichbecame a part of Wisconsin's history aquarter of a century ago. Cheer aftercheer arose from the multitude in tributeto the war bird. Many a civilian couldonly divine tbe cause of all tbia enthusi-asm, but to probably every G. A. R. man inline to day the strange history of tbat birdis a tiretud storv to his children. In 1661.when the Eighth Wisconsin Kegimenten- - 1

tered the war, a tame eagle, captured in theWisconsin woods, accompanied the regi-ment south. Taught to perch upon a staff',it was allotted to a color bearer, and in afew mouths the bird became tbe emblem ofthe regiment With a strange devotionthat so partook of the mysterious as to en-gender superstition in many miuds theeagle clung to his regiment with unwaver-ing loyalty. Amia the roar of cannon andthe shriek of battle tho eaglo of the EighthWisconsin maintained ' bis perch, attimes, too, soaring nrietly above theheads of the .brave boys, shriek-ing shrill defiance to the enemy,and then- - returning to bis perch. Noball ever attained '01d Abe" as he waschristened, and iu many bloody battles tbesoldiers of tbe Eighth seemed to share thegood fortune of the noble bird. In lB(V"01dAbe'' was "mustered out" with the Eighth,and thenceforth made bis borne as a privi-leged bird in tho public paik at Madison.He survived the war twelve years, and athie death bis funeral waa conducted withmilitary honors, liut he was never buried.A ekilltul taxidermist perpetuated the formand shape of the glorious bird, and tboEighth Kegiraent still bears "Old Abe" inthe front rank.

In line with the Wisconsin boys wereGen. Lucius Fairchild, or of theState and of theG. A. R., and Col. A. G. Weissert, presentcandidate for commander-in-chie- f. De-partment Commander W. 1L Upham was incommand, and Past Department Command-er Colonel Hrayan and Colonel Griffin, whowas breveted brigadier-genera- l at tbe closeof the war for gallantry, were among thefamiliar figures that tramped to the music.

The Pennsylvania division came next,1,500 strong, marching in good order tosprightly musio furnished by tbe postbands. Department Commander Boyerrode at tbe head with Adjutant Town and(juartermaMier-genera- l Abraham Levering,followed by the aids. Pittsburg posts ledthe delegation.

OHIO'S BIG TURNOUTThe Ohio delegation was a vast army of

itself. No less than 13,000 veteraus trampedto the music of the bands. Besides Depart-ment Commander A. M. Warner marchedGen. S. H. Hurst, Ohio's candidate for comma-

nder-in-chief. A conspicuous figure waaGen. Manning F. Force, who enlisted as amajor in tbe Twentieth regiment and wasmade a full major-gener- al a year before theclose of the war. Col. A. L. Conger, Gen.P. H. Dowlingand Gen. 1L B. Brown wereamong the past department commanders inline.

New York, 2.500 strong, came next andwas the recipient of an enthusiastic greet-ing. Thoy were headed by DepartmentCommander C. H. Freeman, Adjutant-genera- l

W. W. Bennett and Quartermaster-genera- lA. 1. Pentield. William Van

Keuren, an octogenarian member of thepost aud veteran of both the Mexican andcivil wars, was dressed in a Miitmadeofthe patriotio red, white and blue. Thencame a score of battle flags, several shotthronch in shreds and tatters,- - prondlycarried aloft bv their bearers. Theymade a very interestinc display com-ing as they did from all theregiments in western New York and com-prising colors that, waved on every im-portant field during the war.

The Connecticut division came next, andfollowing Connecticut was Massachusetts,2.500 strong. Tbeir grand display and sol-dierly appearance caused the greatest enthu-siasm as soon as they hove in sight, headedby Department Commander A. A. Smith.Adjutunt-aener- al H. C.

minutes after 5 o'clock this evening when,with a sigh cf relief, Commander-in-chie- f

Veazey swung his slouch hat on his headand grasped the hand of ex-Presid-

Hayes. Six hours before he had given thesigual for the bead of the columu to move,and for over five hours be had kept on hisfeet while the veterans marched past thegrand-stan- d and salutod. It was a long,and try in at spell, but the other occupantsof the grand-stan- d, which included Govs.Pope of Vermont, Hovey of Indiana,Thayer of Nebraska, General Miles, ex-Gover- nor

Oglesby of Illinois, or

Wiuans of Michigan. Con-ger of Ohio, ex-Senat- or Thomas W.Palmer, United States Senator Mandersonof Nebraska, and General Smith, of theNineteenth United States regulars, stoodit bravely, and although they mu-

tually agreed that they were gladenough it '.vas over, and the vet-erans, footsore and worn out asthey were, for the line of marchcovered over five miles, were stillin tho best of spirits. What with tbe en-

thusiasm of the immense crowds, the broadand well-pave- d avenues, the ample policearrangements and the innovation inthe shape of the wire-rope- s that werestretched on either side of the roadwayalong the entire line of march, and whichkept the throngs from encioaching on thoformation of the line, they were ready toadmit that it was one of the most pleasingand successful turnouts in the history ofthe organization. The arrangements forfeeding the multitude were likewise ampleand the tens of thousands of hungry menaud women who lied hither and thither insearch of sustenance for the inner manwheu the parade was finally disbanded,found no cause for complaint.

This bas been a proud day in the historyof the Grand Army of tbe Kepublic. It haswitnessed the grandest parade iu the his-

tory of the organization, and has made thetwenty-tifth- . or "silver encampment," anoccasion of magnificence and grandeur sur-passing the fondest dreams cherished byits humble founder. Dr. Stephenson, ofIllinois, twenty-fiv- e years ago. For onesolid, continuous six hours, under a brightsun, 40,000 veterans tramped sturdily overthe line of march, and such was the inspira-tion of the moment that even the feeblestof the maimed and crippled comrades foundthemselves adequate to the ordeal of thelive miles' march. The firing of a salutefrom the United States steamship Michi-gan in the harbor auounced to the waitingveterans, at 10:00, that tbe command tomove had been given by the commander-in-ch-

ief. When General Veazeey ap-

peared before the reviewing-stand,- . thevast concourse of people clustered aboutthe campus aud cheered themselves hoarse.Tbe General reined up his charger, how-ever, and paused. General Alger and theDetroit Pot. his escort, passed by him anddre.w up before the reviewing stand, front-ing it with canes at a charge. GeneralVeazey looked on with a gratified umile,then, lifting his hat gracefully from hisbrow, he allowed his horse to pass withslow steps before them. As he passed tbereviewing stand, every occupant arose tobis feet. Foremost among them was thegreat Indian-tighte- r, General Miles, of thoregular army, who had been leaning over,bareheaded, with bis white-glove- d handsknitted above bis sword hilt. GeneralVeazey reached the end of the post, andthe Detroit veterans unfurled their flag,Schremser's band struck up a lively air,and the crowd cheered once more. GeneralVeazey then rode to the stand, and, dis-mounting, entered his box in front. TheDetroit Post passed by, and the parade con-tinued toward the massive war arch.

Thrilling Description of a Gorgeous ParadeThat Can Never TJ Forgotten.

Detroit, Aug. 4. This is a day whichwill be long remembered by the veterans ofthe Grand Army of the Kepublic As theopening day of the twenty-fift- h annual en-campment, it marks a quarter of a centuryin the growth of the organization, andevery Boldier realizes tbat it must alsomark the aome in the prosperity of thatgreat order which year by year bas en-veloped in its fraternal fold every State ofthe great Union from Maine to Texas andfrom Florida to Washington. If sentiment,and sympathy, and love could control tbedestiny of tbe G. A. R it wonld live for-ever, hot tho inexorable logic of statisticssounds a warning to every veteran that intime the surviving comrade of the surviv-ing post must be "mustered out' and theG. A. R. be known no more, save to thememory of the grateful nation it defendedand preserved. Every reunion im-presses upon the surviving veteransthe fact that the period in tbeir livesis finally reached when the death rate, likearithmetical progression, multiplies yearby year, until now the eternal messengerdecimates their numbers in more deadlyratio than did all the battles of the war.It has therefore been tbe desire of all theprominent leaders of the organization thatthe twenty-fift- h encampment should bethe most successful iu the history of theG. A. It, and the parade alike the mostmagnificent the order has ever known.Certain it is the multitudes which are as-sembled in Detroit to-da- y are larger thanthe City of the Straits has ever greeted be-fore, and in the magnificence of pageantryand the beauty of decorations to-day- 's pa-rade is acknowledged to be without prece-dent in the years that have gone. As thetried and trusty soldiers of '01 were eagerfor the battle, so the veterans of '91 wereeager for the grand parade, which was torecall so many reminiscences of formerdays. He fore the morning sun had kissedthe spangled arches and emblazoned themultitude of decorations that marked theline of march the Grand Army bands wereabroad, and tbe measured tread of the vet-erans preparing for the march soundedthrough tbe streets.

Promptly at the hour indicated and witha military precision wbicb showed tbevolunteer soldiers had forgotten none oftheir early training, they assembled at tbe

Some of Mr. Wanatualter'a Plans for UztenoVlog and Improving Its Efficiency.

Breelal to the Indianapolis Journal.Washington. Aug. 4. "Tho most that

we can do," said Postmaiter-gen- f ral Wana-mak- er

to-da-y "is to do as well as well aswe can under existing postal laws. Wecan ask the attention of the people to re-

forms, and inform the members of Congresrabout them when they ask us. We cannotourselves make laws providing for postaltelegraphy, postal eavings banks. 1-c-

postage and universal free delivery, nomatter how 6trongly we believe in thesethings. We can only suggest; it is for Con-

gress to pass tbe laws."This in answer to the question, hastily

propounded to-da- y and replied to ofl-hau- d.

whether postal legislation of importancewould be likely to pass the next Congress,and what Mr. Wauamakcr proposed to doabout t.

"You spoke of the postal telegraph; howdoes that 6taud, and what can be doneabont itT"

"The limited postal telegraph plan. Ithink,'1 the Postmaster General replied, 'isthe best postal telegraph plan yet proposed

simply because it is the easiest and mostbusinesslike and it is not immodest forme to say that, for it was the product ofmonths of conference and agitationamongst men familiar with the telegraph,business, as well as tbe best postal systemsof Europe. It was unanimously re-

ported by the Senate committee, and onlyfailed by a vote in the House committee, andthat, too, after a series ot discussions thatwere in favor of the hilL It has been madeout to be a tremendous exaggeration ofgovernmental power, you know paternal-ism, armies of civil servants, millions ofexpense, and all that Itisnothiugof tbesort; it is simply a proposition that thepresent forces and properties of the Post-offi- ce

Department shall help out the tele-graph companies, and that the tel-

egraph companies, in return for thisfavor, aud in consideration ot thissaving, shall transmit telegrams morecheaply, and so bring their immense bene-fits within the reach of ten or twenty mill-ions of people, say, instead of one million.Personally, I believe this departure would..yJhe telegraph companies certainly, it

ib no infraction of their vested rights to doas much for them as they do for tbe de-partment, and. hence, for the people. It iaa proposition directly to benent hundredsof cities and towns in this country, andto benefit, indirectly the whole country,for it proposes to connect at all points withtbe postal service; and tbat is universallyused. It bringa more of tbe people to- -ether, it promotes social correspondence.

E)xcuee me, though; I did not mean toargue for it to you. We shall have to waituntil the time cornea again for that.

"No, I do not see that the plan will haveto be modified much. No objection wasmado to it last (tension, from those wbolooked at it from a purely publio stand-point. It was defeated because tt wassupposed to antagonize certain privatointerests. I do not believe tbat itdid. but if it was fought withtbo belief that it antagonized private in-

terests, why there was the fart, and therowas nothing to do about it. Von may bcertain that the limited postal telegraphplan is coming. It is not coining, of course,nntil tbe people understand it and aktheir representatives in Congress to votelor it."

THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.

"I see,n was the answer. "Doubtless it ismuch the same with tho postal savingshank plant"

"Yea. almost exactly the same. That hasbeen falsely assumed to antagonize thabanking interests. My own opinion is thatby taking a hundred millions of dollars ofmoney out of the stockinga and from underthe floors and Mr. Gould estimates thetotal of unused savings in this country ashigh as tbat it would go to all tbe bank-ing and loan institutions, and not onlyearn profits, interest, money, for its depos-itors, but it would put jut tbat amount ofmoney into circulation, and not only wouldthe bankers profit thereby, but the men inthe smaller kinds of business wonld havejust so much more capital within theirreach to work with. That is not the mainthing, cither; it is this addition ofsnch a tremendous quick capital tothe uses of tbe whole country. Themain thing, as 1 believe, is th:U'it wouldmake millions of people yes, millions-thri-fty,

saving, prosperous, proud: it wonldmake them capitalists. Hut what I amsaying is not to the point, cither. Yourquestion ia whether the members of tbenew Congress will look at it in this way,and whether they will pats a bill to permitpostmasters in remote qn&rters, wherevested rights would not be lutcrferrd with,to receive deposits which the governmentshould benecnrity for."

"You spoke a moment ago aboutpostage, and as though you would like tosee iu"

"Yes, that reform is very desr to me; butthinK what is involved. To cut the post-ages on letters iu two would mean an annualdeficit of S15,(X,0. In addition to the pres-ent one. We are not to blame for the r res-ent one. you kuow. which has. 1 tbink, beenreduced one-hal- f, say :i.M..UM, during thelast two years. We had to do five milliondollars' worth of free business tvrtbe other executive departments,iu the first place. Then we do a losingbuiineda of 8l.00U,(XO or 15.0UQ.UC0 on thenewspaper mails, which must be made upby letter postage. This is proper: waouabtto do it; for if there is one way to dissemi-nate intelligence, which ia the object of thePostoQice Department, more than another,it is through tho newspapers, 'lbeu.1 imagine the average person would ratherhave bin paper than his letter come cheap-ly lu tbe mails, because he has itcome ofteuer, as a general thing. Dntwith these great items, which at least weought to have-- credit for, taken into ac-count, our deficit is or;ly apparent. Yetthere seems to be no "way of making itappear only apparent, for it is bard to getmoney appropriated for the use of the serv-ice nnlesa it is keen that it comes back dol-lar fur dollar. Tho only thing we can do isto economize where w can widely do so,and to develop the profitable parts of thebusiness.'

tbe noted cavalryman of the seventh Micn- -igan. who was promoted on the field forbravery, marched in the ranks, as did alsoU. A. MaJloy, Assistant Adjutant-genera- lBigger and others.

lhe!dbo delegation nnmnered twelvepersons, including United States SenatorShonpe, Department Commander Judoncpouord and Asst. Adjt.-len- . Norman it.Camp, of Boise City. Twenty loyal veter-ans from Alabama were under command ofDepartment Commauder Seymour Bullockand staff. The delegation included members from posts in Montgomery. Mobile,Birmingham. Cullman and Decatur, andtbeir appearance was tbe signal for cheers.

1 be naval veterans were loudly cheeredas they passe ', .n review, and the ancienttars bowed to tbe compliments, i be sonsof V eterans. five thousand strong, and mcommand of Commauder-ln-chie- t L. J.Webb, brought up the rear of the long pro-cession. The boys marched in fine style,and received marked applause along theentire line. The spectacle of an ex-Pre- si

dent of tbe United S .iea niurcbing in tberanks is so unusual th it the tremendousovation tendered ex-- 1 resident Hayes to-day waa hardly a surprise. The cheerswhich swept along tbe line of march like ahuge, but slowly-risin- g tidal-wav- e, wasever an indication of the presence of tbedistinguished ex-Preside- nt. Mr. Haveswas recoguized by all as be marched withhia post, from Fremont, O., down (Jriswoldstreet, and, near the intersection of Cou-gres- s

street, kissed several little girls, whoran out to meet him. Tbo old gentle-man carried a palm-lea- f fan and ap-peared to enjoy the occasion quito usmuch as his comrades of the post.One of tbe most unique features of to-day- 's

parade was an old army newsboy on horse-back. "Doc" C. B. Aubrey peddled papersat the front, and when called upou to doarmy duty responded with alacrity. Hewaa made an honorary member of KobertChivasPost,of Milwaukee, old Iron Brigademen, for his service. To-da- y he rode onhorseback, with a bundle of old war papersuuder bis arm. The girl cadets, a singleplatoon of thirteen, in red caps and goldchevrons, gold collars and blue suits ofMcCoy Post, Ohio, were loudly applaudedas they kept correct. line aud stepped ac-curately to the musio of the rattly drumcorps. The Michigan female band hbaredwith their Ohio sisters the plaudits of themultitude. One of the features of the firstdivision was the Illinois goose, which wasbung on a pole, with the inscription thateverything was "lovely and tho goosehangs high." Another was the 'leather-dresse- d

man from Wisconsin, who borethe badger. "Old Abe." the Wisconsiueagle was, of course, cheered at every cor-ner. It was a noticeable fact tbat tho oldwar tnnes. "Marching through Georgia,"and "The Red, White and Blue." with oc-

casional bursts of "Yankee Doodle." calledout the most vociferous applause on all oc-

casions.MARCHED WITH TITE BOYS.

Ex-Govern- or Oglesby and Captain Mere-dith, chief of tbe Bureau of Printing andEngraving, both marched with the Illinoisboys. Tbe white locks of the venerable ex-Gover-

made him conspicuous every-where, and he shared with ex-Gover-

Fairchild, of Wisconsin, the cheers of thespectators. United States Senator G. L.Shoup is one of the six veterans who cameall the way from Idaho to attend tbe en-

campment. The Senator marched w ith hiscomrades throughout the day. As NewYork swept around the corners with asplendid hand and drum corps and theirarmed guards at the head with theirgleaming bayonets, the appearance was thesignal for a cheer. But the Continentals,with cocked hats and regimentals,led by Uncle Sam himself, took tbe crowd,who cheered itself hoarse. This uniqueband, with its ofl-looki- ng drummer, ledthe three solid platoons bearing the old warcolors of New York. Tbe war-screa- m of tbe.bagpipes of the Twenty-nint- h New lork.laying "The Campbells are Coming," wasEeard from all points. The post wore

Uleugarya and carried two shattered regi-mental liags. Secretary Proctor rode in acarriage just behind the commander-in-chie- f.

He was all smiles and appeared tobe enjoying himself immensely. He waskept continually busy raising his bat, inresponse to the plaudits ot tbe crowd.

As tbe Pennsylvania division passed, tbeold battle-dag- s bore their old. titles, "JSpott-sylvania- ,"

"Shiloh." aud other names offields rendered immortal by terrible strife.A storm of applause saluted these battle-scarre- d

colors. Among the other prominentmen in attendance anu participating iu tbeparade were Governor Page, of Vermont;Governor Winans, of Michigan; SenatorManderson. of Michigau; Presideut Palm-er, of the world's fair, aud Geu. Henry A.Barnnm. of New York.

The day was marked by many pleasantincidents, but none attracted more admira-tion than the spectacle of an ex-Preside- nt

of the United States honoring the com- -mander.ih -- chief of tho G. A. 1L .

Ex-Presid- ent Hayes, accompanied byCol. J. F. J. llecker and the committee tbatpurchased the 11.000 diamond G. A. ILbadge for General Veazey, called at the na-tional department headquarters to-da- y tomake the formal presentation. The cere-mony took place in tbe large parlor of thohotel, where Genet al Veazev stood with hiswife, surrounded by his entire staff.

PRESENTING THE MEDAL."Commander-in-chie- f Veazey," said ex-Presid- ent

Hayes, "the comrades who withme have been honored with places on yourstaff, have assigned to me the agreeabledoty of presenting to you this badge. Theyask you to accept it as a token of the es-teem, the admiration and affection in whichyon are held by ourselves and by our com-rades of the G. A. R.

at Fredericksburg, at Gettysburg, andwith Grant in all the bloody battles afterthe silent soldier took command of theArmy of the Potomac. Tne Hansom Post,of St. Louis, came in for its share of ad-miration. It was 200 strong, and accompa-nied by tbe United States Regular Band.This is the first year the Kansom Post everattended an encampment when their com-mander. Gen. W. T. Sherman, was not pres-ent.

Clans Spreckela Cuts the Price of WhiteSugar to the Lowest Point in History.

New York, Aug. 4. A bitter fight wasbegan to-da-y by the Sugar Trust againstClans Spreekels, who has been a thorn inthe side ot tbe sugar refiners on this coastfor many years. About ten days ago thepresident of tbe Sugar Trust was calledaway from the city by the ultimately fatalillness of bis father, i C. Ilavemeyer.While he was away tbe Sugar Trust main-tained its price for granulated sugar, butClaus Spruckels, who had been keeping bisrate up to those of the Trust, at once an-nounced a reduction of 116 cent per pound,lie cut seriously into the trade of tbe SugarTrust, hut no action to meet the cut wastaken as it was beliered tbat s soou anbp reck els'8 supply wa placed he wouldretire from the market. He kept onrilling orders, however, and practicallysupplied all demands. Yesterday PresidentIlavemeyer returned and at once orderedthe Sugar Trust price for granulated sugarreduced ceut per pound, or 116 belowthe cut made by Spreokels. The latter to-day made another reduction, bringing bisprice 110 below that of the Trust. The re-ductions made bring the price of granu-lated sugar down to 4 cents per pound iuPhiladelphia, on which 2 per cent, is al-lowed off. making the net cash price 3 J2100cents, the lowest on record. Tbe pricenamed by the Sngar Trust is 4 116. In Au-gust, after the formation of the Trust,sugar sold for 834 cents per pound. A cu-rious feature of the tight is that in tbe raweusar market both parties are urgent buy-ers, and the Sugar Trust to-da- y boughtraw sugar at 3516 cents. This brines theprofit cf retining down to a very low point.

Ofcourse, the estate would be held together,be said, but Mr. Searles was a man whowas straightforward and kindly, with akeen senxe of personal honor and justice,and the relations existing between him andMr. Hopkins have not be n correctly statedin the papers.
