THE GRAND ARMY ENcAMpMENr

THE GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT
Tho Nineteenth Annual Encampment of
he Grand Army of the Republic is over, and
with few exceptions the veterans who have
honored us with their presence this week
have departed for their homes. That the en-
eampment has in every respect been one of the
most successful ever held seems to be unani-
mously conceded. Everything has been pro-
pitious, and nothing more so than the wealth
or, which, had it been specially gotten up for
the occasion, could not have been improved
upon. 1t was a great task which the depart
ment of Maine assumed when it invited the
National Department to hold its encamp-
ment under its auspices, and doubtless it was
not undertaken without many misgivings.
To comfortably provide for the temporal
welfare of twenty thousand men in a city
the size of Portland was work full OF per-
plexities, and that it was accomplished so
satisfactorily to the visitors and with so few
mistakes is highly creditable to the execu-
tive capacity Of the gentlemen on whose
shoulders the burden chiefly fell
The good order which has prevailed
throughout the whole week is the subject of
admiring comment everywhere The streets,
though filled with people, have been entirely
free from disturbances of every kind, and
even an intoxicated man has been a rare
sight. The gangs of sneak thieves and pick
pockets which usually follow in the wake of
large crowds seem to have been conspicuous
for their absence, and scarcely a case of pill
fering has been brought to the attention of
the police. The people who provided them
selves with pistols and loaded canes under
the impression that there was to be an inva-
sion Of roughs, found no use for their weap-
ons, and the committee appointed to capture
the fabulous quantity of whiskey and beer
that was going to roll into the stations ap-
parently had very easy time doing nothing
Even the Office Of special policeman was a
good deal of sinecure. The freedom from
accidents, too, has been as remarkable as the
freedom from criminal acts.
We have no disposition to detract in any
degree from the credit that belongs to the
authorities for this happy condition of
things. They had evidently made ample
preparations to secure the peace of the
city, and had occasion arisen they would
probably have been equal to the
emergency. But as a matter of fact
the authorities had very little to do, The
veterans and the other visitors were of so re-
spectacle a kind that they needed no atten-
ton from the police. They came here to en-
10Y themselves nationally within the law,
and very few of them indeed oyerstepped
the boundary line, The veterans depart bear

The agreement in regard to the fisheries
between the United States and Great Brit
ain Is purely temporary one, and was en-
tered into to avoid the complications which
would inevitably arise from the sudden ter
mination of the fishery clauses of the Wash
ington treaty in the midst of the fishing season.
As we understand it Great Britain agrees for
herself and her provinces not to enforce the
three mile limit regulation or to prevent
American vessels from entering Canadian
ports and remaining there as long as they see
fit; while the United States on her part
agrees to guarantee immunity from interfer-
ence with English vessels fishing in American
waters and to bring the whole question of
the fisheries before Congress and suggest the
appointment of a commission to inquire into
the subject with a view to securing perlna-
nent arrangement between the two countries.
The statutory enactments of Congress are
not interfered with and therefore the clause
of the treaty which exempts Canadian fish
from custom duties is not extended by this
agreement. Canadian fish after July LIST will
be subject to duty notwithstanding this
agreement. The arrangement seems to be a
happy avoidance for the present, at least, of
what was likely to prove vexatious and i'll
natured conflict.

Details of the Fight in which Mrs.
Langtry Figures.

LONDON, July 23.-All accounts of the
fracas between Lord Lonsdale and Sir
George Chetwynd in Rotten Row show
that the latter began the assault by striking
Lord LOnsdale on the head with a whip
and knocking his hat Off into the street.
Both men were on horseback at the time.
In delivering the blow Sir George cried:
Take that, you devilr'
What in h do YOU mean?" reiOined
Lord Lonsdale, smarting under the blow.
Don't NEEDLE with my Lily" shouted
MS aSSailant, as he again struck Lord
Lonsdale with his whip full across the
shoulder. Lord LOnsdale then returned the
blows with his whip. The horses of the
eombatants here became frightened and
began to plunge and lay in such lively
manner that their riders were at last
forced TO dismOunt. Dropping their whips,
they continued the fight with their fists.
Or George Chetwynd soon got his opponents
head IN chancery and pummeled him re-
peatedly. Lord Lonsdale struggled to free
himself and both men rolled in the dust.
Both quickly regSined their feet and with
blood flowing from noses and mouths and
their clothing badly torn, renewed the
night. A mounted policeman galloped up
shortly after and separated them. The
cOmbatantS entered closed carriages and
were driven to their homes. Legal pro-
eeedingS are threatened, but friends of the
men are trying to keep the matter out of
the courts. Lord LOnsdale and Sir George
Chetwynd are both vounp mon.

KNOTTy INDIAN PROBLEM.


The senate Indian committee took the
testimony of Gen. SANBORN, who was a
member of the commission that made the
treaty under which the WinnebagOes claim
TO hold the reservation in controversy. The
general made very clear exposition of
the matter, showing that that part of the
Sioux reservation was not incorporated in
the original draft of the treaty, but was
brought within its provisions by an amend
ment before signing. The general opinion.
therefore, that it is binding as a treaty
which can only be abrogated by an
act of congress would seem to
be tenable. The senators themselves
would give no expression of opinion on this
