MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 26.-lm-
mense crowds came in tonight by
every train, and there are not less than
100000 strangers in the city. About
$4,000 of them are veterans distributed
among the numerous suburban camps.
Ransom post of st. Louis, arrived this
afternoon, accompanied by the Arsenal
band, but Gen. Sherman was not along.
The latter arrived at o'clock tonight
and was escorted to his hotel by the ex-
ecutive council in body. Thousands
of people lined the short route to the
hotel. and scene amounting to an ova-
ton ensued. as they cheerod and threw
up their hats. When the car
riage reached Plankinton house, the
general was saluted with shower of
bouquets. Tonight the old iron brig
ade held reunion at Elks' hall, the
chief feature being an address by Gen.
E. S. Bragg, it's old commander. The
Sons of Veterans held great camp fire
at West Side Turner hall, presided over
by Commander-in-C Warner, and
speeches we're made by William j. Ker-
shaw, Gov. Hoard, Gen. Alger, Gen.
Rusk, Post Commander Rea, Charity
Rusk Craig, national president of the
Women's Relief corps. The encamp-
ment proper opens tomorrow when the
grand parade will take place. 1t is eX-
pected that 10000 men will be in line.
THE GRAND REVIEWING STAND
which is located on Grand avenue, near
Eleventh street, will be occupied by
Rusk, eX-Gov. Alger, Gen. Manderson
and several hundreds of other notable
soldiers and dignitaries. Gen. Warner
will review the procession with his
staff from horseback near the end of the
march. The procession will start about
10 o'clock. On tomorrow evening the
chief meeting of the week will take
place at West Side Turner hall. De-
partment Commander A. G. WeisseTt
will preside at this gathering, and an
address of welcome to the soldiers on
behalf of Wisconsin will be made by
W. u. Hoard, governor of the
state, which will be responded
to by Commander-in-Chief Warner.
Mayor t. Fl. Brown will deliver the adj
dress OF welcome on behalf of the city,
and this will be responded to by Cor
poral Tanner, commissioner of pensions.
An East side camp fire will also be held
in the arena of the Light Horse Squad
ron armory on Broadway, which will be
presided over by Gen. Lucius Fairfield,
and addres sas will be made by Senator
John c. Spooner and others. Gen. W.
T. Sherman will appear at and address
both camp fires tomorrow evening. For
once in his life
GEN. SHERMAN GOT LEFT TODAY.
He was booked to arrive by special
train at o'clock. and the entire execu-
tive council, with several bands and a
couple of thousand spectators, were at
the depot to receive him. When the
train arrived, however, and great deal
of powder, music and cheers had been
expended, it was developed that the
grizzled veteran had been lost in the
crowd on the platform at Chicago, and
that Ransom post of St. Louis, the spe-
cial escort, had been compelled to leave
without him. He finally reached town
at tonight and received a royal well
cCme along the route to his hotel.
Everything tends to indicate that Gen.
Alger will be the next commander-in-
chief. Private DalZell has no following,
and Consigny, of Iowa. has only state
support. The Eastern delegates will
vote for Judge Veazey, of Vermont, but
they admit tonight that he cannot rally
the necessary Western support. A. G.
Weissert, of Wisconsin, will be the
senior vice and the probabilities are
that Washington will be selected for
the next encampment. The
TROUBLE CONCERNING THE PARADE
is still unsettled at a late hour, owing
to the non-arrival of Department Com
mander Martin of Illinois. Gen. War
ner insists that the Missouri delegations
shall take the head of the line as special
escort, while Illinois claims the place
by virtue of the resolution passed last
year at Columbus, giving the senior de-
partment the right of line. The Illinois
contingent insist that they will not
march unless their rights are recognized.
