Sixteenth Reunion of the Society OF
the Army of Tennessee.
A Large Attendance.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct :S-The sixteenth
annual reunion of the Society Of the Army of
the Tennessee began with large attendance
of members Gen. Grant, who was said to
have arrived, was not present, but he is ex-
pected.
The society formed at the Kennard house.
at 1880 and marched in procession, about
two hundred in number, with a band of
music, Maj. Howe and Capt. Barber carry
ing the society's colors and Gems Sherman
and Leggett arm in arm at the head of the
column, to the Ontario street tabernacle,
where business meeting was held.
General Sherman, president of the society,
on calling the meeting to order. rendered con-
gratulations on the large attendance, the ap-
parent good health of the members. and the
auspicious circumstances surrounding the be-
ginning of the reunion. Though eighteen
years have elapsed, said he, since we ceased
using arms and took up the pen and the
tongue, this is our sixteenth. reunion since
the formation of the society, two
having been allowed to lapse The original
date for this meeting was fixed for Oct. T.
the anniversary of the extraordinarily brave
and gallant defense of Corinth, in 1862, but
was obliged to go on long trip in the far
account, for which l am profoundly grateful,
as it enables me once more to meet with my
old comrades in arms. Gen Rose
Grams 1 saw in Washington and
he was exceedingly anxious to be
here, but was prevented by the illness of his
wife. He commissioned me to personally
apologize for his absence Gen. Gresham,
too, is kept away by pressing business. Gen.
nct fal he hot ho fn ho
here. The weather is beautiful, the people
seem pleased to see their.old war horses and
am truly glad to see so many of my old COM
rades in this beautiful city.
Committees were appointed to select officers,
an orator and the place of next meeting. The
annual reports were submitted, and routine
business was transacted. Letters of regret
were read from Gems. Hancock, Crook, Prior,
Harrison and others.
The committee to consider the question of
holding the next reunion in the Yellowstone
park reported that satisfactory arrangements
had not been made with the railroads, and
the matter was recommitted.
A resolution to wear uniforms at the re-
union and society badges at all times was
tabled by decisive vote A telegram was
read inviting the society to meet at Cincin-
natl next week with the Society of the Army
of the Cumberland. Gen. Sherman, in read
ing the telegram, said it would be impossible
for him to be there, but he hoped all who
could would attend and represent this society.
He said the two armies were closely related,
were almost Siamese twins.
Col. Dayton, the secretary, was instructed
by vote to telegraph the sympathy of the
society to Gen. Rosecrans
Among those present are Gems Sherman,
Logan, Leggett, Hickenlooper, Fallows,
Fletcher, Fairchild, Noyes, Buckland,
Hutchins Pease, Walcutt, Baldwin, Poe,
Belknap, Strong, Chetlain and others.

Meeting OF Passenger Agents.

KANSAS CITY, Oct 18.-The general pas
senger agents met again. The committee ap-
pointed reported that they were unable yet
to present statement and recommendations
upon the matters at ISSUE and that in view Of
the intricacies of the questions involved, the
task is well nigh impossible. A prominent
official said he considered it doubtful whether
the matters would be adjusted at this meet
ing; the points of difference are so numerous
and perplexing that it is not unlikely the
roads. will be unable to agree, and the busi-
ness will be left to the meeting of the general
managers at Chicago early in November
