IIlL1 OLD Wan TIMxs.

On Monday, the inspiring sound of the fife
and drum could be heard in Milwaukee on
the streets leading from therailroad stations
and steamboat docks. No large install
ments Of veterans arrived until after 9
O'Clock, but squads Of grizzled ex.warriors
with their wives and children could be seen
a. sarly as fix o'clock enjoying the sights or
resting comfortably on the curbstones, or
In stairways, waiting for the headquar-
signed to places. The crowd Increased with
the passing moments and by eight o'clock
the marching companies, baggage wagons
and omnibuses made the street crossings
dangerous to foot passengers. Where Com
missioner Tanner is quartered, there is o
crowd OF veterans, not guests OF the hotel,
filing the lobbies and Railways, anxious to
get q sight of the pension dispenser. The
city 10 more deliberately decorated than at
any time in it's history, scarcely a building
in the business portion being left untrimmed.
The residence portion, too, has caught the
infection, and red, white and blue streamers
float in the air from pillar and porch, far out
into the outskirts.
Gen. Alger will undoubtedly be the next
commander-in-chief and, from present indica-
tons, the city of Washington will be chosen
for the next national encampment. The
Minnesota delegation, $50 strong, put in an
appearance at 1890, and, after q short
parade, went into camp.
THE PARADE. e.
On Tuesday morning the cities aid towns
of the state seemed to have emptied them
selves into Milwaukee,. By noon fully
$4,000 Wisconsin people from outside the
city had arrived.
In the hotels the crush was terrible. In the
Plankinton House especially, where Gen.
2hawnnors HoN, k1ornw rorn nsoosoror Tcpno,
and Mrs. Logan were, crowds were standing
around waiting to get q glimpse of the dis
tinguished parties. Mrs. Logan, coming
down the steps from the large dining hall
about z O'Clock leaning on the arm Of Gen.
Alger, was forced to hold ar impromptu re-
ception as q crowd of veterans from one d.
rection and q bevy of ladies from the
opp osite direction rushed to greet her,
She divides the honors with Gen. Sherman.
At 8 O'Clock the crowds that had remained

people within
MOVED UP THE AVENUE

was not much lees imposing than the col

hours later. The most interesting and

q complete success. A thing remarkable in
the history of big professions was that it
began to move at 1886. A conservative
of the number of men who
passed that point places it at $4,000.
A noticeable incident of the parade
was the enthusiasm Of the old veterans
whenever they caught q glimpse of Gen.
Sherman. He was greeted with round after
round OF cheers, while the band forgot their
