SHERMAN TALKS TO nrv.r.

Milwaukee Overhowlnx With cr.n. Army Men. and RegImental RSun. ions are the order of the Day. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 2S.-About 200 repi- mental reunions were held this afternoon.
 About 25, 900 people gathered at the National
 Soldiers' Home, where they passed in review
 before General Sherman and party. General
 Sherman was received with immense en-
 thusiasm and made brief speech which, he
 says, was the last he will ever make. Gen.
 Sherman said:
 "Boys-My speaking days are over. am
 not going to make any more speeches. am
 always glad to see so many soldiers looking
 hearty and healthy. think we can stand
 on our legs yet. I like to see that our old
 Unole Sam takes pretty good care of these
 old soldiers. Uncle Sam can't make old
 men young, but he can make young men just
 as good aa you or l ever were.
 We have to do our parts in this short period of life honorably and honestly. We can pass
 the grand tribunal and say: We have tried
 Well done.' We have passed through one
 crisis of our country's history. I don't see
 any chance of another; but nobody knows
 the future. Bring up your children to love
 and venerate the old soldiers who fought ip
 1861 and 1865 and make them un-
 cover their heads when they see that
 the days which tried us to the utmost.
 Let us venerate thet flag and love our coun- try and love each other and stand by each other as long as we have heads on our shoulders and legs on our bodies. These old soldiers who marched against the enemy. in those trying days grateful country tries it's best to assist and will, think, in fact I am
 sure, be good to you when you get too old. But keep young as long as you can and do not ge into soldiers home if you can help it."
 Extension Commissioner Black and Sec- retary Rush also made brief remarks. The annual reunion of the Veteran Signal Corps was held to-day. This afternoon Boston was chosen as the next place of meeting. Sara
 toga, Indiadapolis and Washington were also nominated but Boston received an over whelming vote. Speeches in favor of Tope- ka, Kansas, and Los Angeles. Cal, were
 made with view to future results. Very unexpectedly the Grand Army dele gates proceeded to the election of officers to-
 had it all his own way. Twenty men nomi- mated him. All the other candidates were then withdrawn and Gen. Alger was elected by exclamation. Col. A. G. Weissert, of Milwaukee, was elected senior vice command i CT, and John F. Lovett, of New Jersey junior ! vice commander. It was then after II o'clock | and the election of other officers was post. poned till tomorrow.
 It is estimated that there were about 100, 900 strangers on the streets to-day, and that notwithstanding many are leaving for their | homes, Milwaukee's guests will number from 15O, 900 to 200, ,000 by the time the naval bat \ tie begins to- morrow night

Brown will Go Back to Boston.


 BOSTON, Aug. 2S.-The Herald says: It is stated on good authority that Mr. Gideon P. Brown, the missing wool merchant, has, since he left Boston, been visited by his at- torney and that Mir. Brown is likely to return to this city at an early day. The impression seems to be gaining ground that he has done nothing criminal, but that his sudden de- parture was due simply to faint-heartedness in view of the financial breakers ahead at the time of his disappearance. An intimate friend of his stated yesterday that Mir. Brown is ready to come back and will probably do so as soon as assignees are chosen in insol- vency, if not before. MT. Brown, he said, could be of great assistance to the assignees in straightening out his firms affairs and he had no doubt that he would be on hand to render whatever aid he could. He further stated that MT. Brown did not carry great amount of money away with him.

 all his glory, was preparing to take his
 nightly snooze under the Pacific Ocean las. night, the Inman and International Com

 between Queenstown and the city of New York.
 There was great excitement among the thousand of passengers on the steamship. The Paris had made up to that time the fast- est trip that many an old voyager among her passengers had ever heard of. If nothing happened she would get into port before sun- rise, and consequently would break her al ready famous record of days 23 hours and minutes.
 Nothing had happened up to that hour to mar the pleasure of a fast voyage, and noth- ing happened during the last 100 miles. The City of Paris reached Sandy Hook Lightship at 27 minutes past 4 o'clock this morning. Her time was days, 19 hours l and IS minutes.

 Shippers Protesting-Pressare on the
 Dock Companies.
 LONDON, Aug. 2S.-The wharfngers, ship pers and merchants are pressing the dock companiss to yield to the strikers. They de. clare that the dock companies by their action are driving trade to other ports.
 The companies complain of the pressure that is being brought upon them to recede from their position, and their representatives promise to answer those that are importuning them to settle with the men later.
 There are more men at work to-day than at any time since the strike was inaugurated. The mail steamships are being loaded slowly.

De Naylles; When the officers of the association decided to allow Nelson to start MT. De Naylles served 6 protest on them to prevent them from paying any money which might be won by Nelson to his owner. The second race called was the best race of the meeting, and as grand a race as has been offered in the circuit. The horses which were entered came out to start in such fine condi- tion that 1t was evident that the drivers had given much attention to preparing their prize of s5 ,O00 for the first horse.
