The Association of the Army Of the Potomac
Session at Portland, Ne.
Pc RTLAND (Me.), July 3.-Over 1000 men,
bers of the Association of the Army of the
Potomac, including all the leading officers
of the org anzation, are here in attendance
upon the annual reunion. The forenoon
was devot ed to the meetings of the different
corps and social gatherings. In the after
noon General Francis A. Walker delivered
an Grafton and Hon. Horatio King read a
poem.
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin was received with
tremendous applause and had quite
a reception on the stage. After Gen.
eral Walkers review Of the career
of the Army of the Potomac, General Shef-
man was brought forward amid thun-
ders of applause. He said among
going up on these platforms that
the grand review in Washington termi-
mated when the Army of the Potomac had
passed. He had an idea that the review &C.
cupied three days and that the army
of the Potomac occupied the first day.
very good opinion Of the Western
armies, and thought they we're rather
disorderlv. Now, | assure you,"
said the old General, my friends
of the Army of the Potomac were better
drilled army than you were. i know it,
because | WAS the commanding General"
Laughter
Sherman then told in a humorous way
how he noted the faulty points in the re-
view of the Army of the Potomac, and
quietly sent word to all his corps
commanders that night to look
out for these things, and with
good result. AS to patriotism within the
hearts of the different corps no one needs
to speak.
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin spoke briefly and
was followed by Generals Howard, Devens,
Porter and Admiral Gherardi. At the
business meeting General Seldom Connor
of Maine was elected President.

THE WYOMING BILL.
Adjournment of the House Without Taking
Any Action on It

WASHINGTON, July The Senate
amendment to the Wyoming Admission Bill
would have been concurred in to-day by the
House had quorum been present The
point of no quorum was made, and Cannon
of Illinois appealed to the House to permit
the adoption of the conference report on
the District of Columbia Appropriation
Bill, and the concurrence in the amend
ment to the Wyoming bill, without the
point of no quorum being raised. saying he
would move to adjourn Immediately there
after The House, however. adjourned
without action. The bill was enrolled and
ready for the signatures of the presiding
officers, and it was believed that had the
House adopted the amendment to-day. the
President would have approved the act be-
fore leaving the city. Delegate Carey said
this evening that the amendment concern
ing Yellowstone Park had already delayed
the admission of Wyoming several days,
but the park was the wonderland of the
world, and would be worth many Worlds
Fairs to the State in the next century. and
under the circumstances the people of Wyo-
ming would patiently wait few days more
for the realization of their great ambition.

A VICIOUS FIGHT.
Mike Brennan Of Boston Fatally Hurt in a
Sparring Match.

CHICAGO, July 3.-Jack Ashton was 70
have met Frank Glover at Battery ID Ar
mOIy Tonight in a hard-glOve contest and
1000 people assembled to witness the
encounter. The police prevented the
men from sparring, however, owing to
the fact that in one of the preliminary
fights Mike Brennan Of Boston was so Sc
riously injured that he VIII probably die.
Brennan was conteSting with Frank Gar
rard of Chicago, nOmnally for points. but
it is asserted since by those present that
the fight was to be for blood. Brennan is
the man who recently worsted Tommy
White of Chicago in a long-drawn-out
battle.
The match between Brennan and Gar
rard was a fierce one, but after the second
round Brennan had decidedly the worst
of it.
In the third and fourth rounds he wss
repeatedly knocked down, and in the fifth,
after arising two or three times. both men
being very groggy, Garrard pushed against
him and both men went to the floor, BreI-
nan underneath.
His head struck the hard boards with a
resounding crack, and when Garrard arose
Brennan was found to be unconscious.
Physicians were summoned. but up to
late hour tonight consciousness had nat
returned, and the doctors think he will die,
having undoubtedly suffered concussi0n IF
the brain.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Dispute About the Appointment
Of a Director General.
4 Conflict Of Authority Between the Ma
t0nal and Local Boards.
Adjournment Of the Commission Till October.
The Mineral Exhibit Commit
tees Named.


CHICAGO. July 3.-A conflict of authority
between the local Board Of Directors and
the National Commission as to the appoint
ment of Director-General OF the Worlds
Fair is threatened. The former claim au-
thority under the incorporation laws of the
State, the latter under an act of Congress.
NJ. Il. de Young. Commissioner from Cali
fornia, holds that the commission has the
undoubted right to make the appointment
and favors A. T. Gohorn of Cincinnati,
Director General of the Centennial at Phia-
delphia, for the position.
The first session of the National Worlds
Fair Commission ended to-day, recess be-
ing taken till October Sth. At the morning
session a communication was read from
Colonel Brown, representing the mining
interests of Colorado. asking for the appoint
ment of a commission to confer with
the local board regarding the proposed
mineral exhibit. The exhibit is to be un-
derground, the walls of the corridors, halls,
ETC., being formed of various mineral ores,
arranged as found in the earth. Referred
to the Committee on Mines and Mining.
Resolutions expressing the satisfaction of
the commission with the financial report OF
the local organization were adopted after
considerable discussion. The question of
an appropriation for the payment of the
lady managers was referred to a committee.
A new committee was constituted, to be
known as the Committee on Machinery and
Motive Power, consisting of eight Com
missioners. The Committee on Titles and
Local Facilities, to which will be referred
all questions about the site. transportation,
etc, was announced as follows: Commits
siOners Groner, Ewing. Butt, Gavoin,
French, Williams. Ferry, Khuudley, Brain
erd and Ryan. The Judiciary Committee
consists Of Massey, Landsay, Sewell, st.
Clair, Smalley and Gregg. A committee OF
eight on Forestry and Lumber was also or
ganiZed.
Just how much Of the fair will be located
on the lake front is apparently still an
open matter. The only formal defini-
ton of the boundaries of that part
of the site was contained in COM
munication from the local Directors
saying that it was their intention TO make
as large use as possible of the room now
existing or that may be gained hereafter
on the lake front, and use Jackson Park as
far as may be necessary to provide adequate
room and buildings for the exposition.

CUSTOMS APPRAISERS.
Five Members of the New Court Appointed
bv the President

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The President
has appointed five members of the new
General Appraisers Court under the Nc
Kinley customs administration law. There
was good deal of comment at the Capitol
at the fact that only five of The commission
were nominated, and that the President re-
served the four remaining places for fur
ther consideration. No reason is discovered
for the failure to nominate the whole COM
mission at the same time, except the fact
that the President has not been able TO de-
eide between the many competing candi-
dates for the positions. The gentlemen
named for the five places are: George
Tichenor, District of Columbia; George H.
Sharp, New York; James A. Jewell, New
York; Charles II. Ham, Chicago; j. Z.
Wilkinson Jr., Louisiana.
NEW YORK. July 3.-The correspondent
OF the Commercial Bulletin at Washington
telegraphs that Estee will probably be ap-
pointed General Appraiser for the Pacific
Coast.
CHICAGO, July 3.-A special from Wash
ington says: The remaining four of the
nine General Appraisers are not to be ap-
pointed until the latter part of next week.
One of these, it is thought. will be Estee of
California, the President of the National
Convention, which nominated Harrison.
Second Controller Gilkerson, it is said, is
backed by Quay for one of the positions.

bill TO require customs duties to be paid in

ground that its consideration would open
discussion upon matter not properly in
