 Rally in National Encampment at
 PortIand-A Grand Parade in Which
 Thirty Thousand Men Fake Part
 General Logan in Line and Given a
 Grand Ovation All Along the Route.
 PORTLAND, Me-, June 23.-Never did 8
 vast procession respond more promptly to
 the signal to move than did that of the
 Grand Army to-day. Precisely at Ii o'clock,
 when the starting gun was fired, the head of
 the column began to move. It required
 more than three hours for the procession to
 pass given point. Commander-in-C Chief
 Kountz was warmly greeted everywhere, but
 the great sensation of the parade was the
 manner in which General Logan, who was
 accompanied by Congressman Reed in a
 barouche, was cheered. It was great ova-
 tion. Cheer after cheer went up from the
 people on the densely crowded sidewalks.
 The general kept his head uncovered nearly
 every moment after entering the procession.
 The veterans received many ovations. It
 was an interesting sight, indeed, to see the
 manner in which many old warriors hobbled
 along in the line. Not 8 few were there
 whose vacant sleeves or wooden legs told the
 tales of desperate wounds in bloody battles. The route was very long and weari-
 some to the older men, many of
 whom dropped out of the ranks before con- pleting the distance. Just after the head of the column had entered the last stage of the
 march Commander-in-Chief Kountz, Gene
 ral Logan and others were driven
 ahead to the reviewing stand. The number of men in the parade was nearly thirty thousand, of whom more than twenty thousand are members of the Grand Ar my. By mismanagement some of the posts were not assigned to places and some five thousand men declined at the last mo- ment to parade Twenty-Five hundred tents were provided for. thirteen thousand men, it is thought that there cannot be less than twenty-five thousand Grand Army men now in quarters. Among those on the grand re viewing stand besides Commander Kount2 and General Logan were: Generals Slocum and Robinson, Governor Robie and staff, General J. c. Black, Colonel McElroy, General George Thorn, U. s. A., ex-Governor Fairchild of Wisconsin, General H. A. Barnum, General Seldon Con- nor, General Charles Appleby of New York, Governor Alger and staff of Michigan, Con gressmen Reed, Boutelle and Dingley of Maine, Congressman Baker of New York and General Amasa Cobb of Nebraska.
 There were to-day numerous open bars where liquor was sold without attempt at concealment There is but little intoxication as vet and no arrests have been made. Nc cases of robbery have yet been reported. Last evening vast quantities of liquor were sold and consumed. The prohibition law is prac- tically dead letter for this week.
