HRIN's LAND BILL.

The Bill Passes its Third Reading in
the House of Lords.
LONDON, July 14.-Lord Denman (con-
servative), in the House OF Lords, to-day,
moved that the Irish land bill be read for
the third time ten months hence.
Earl Spencer QiberaD opposed the amend
ment, saying that although he supported
the bill he had hoped for a larger
measure Of local government reform. Earl
Spencer added that he believed that the
government proposals would do some good,
but they would not satisfy the Irish ten
ants. AS Lord Denmau was unable to find
the teller, the bill passed its third reading
without division on his motion.

RECRUITS FOR THE ARMY.
The Efforts to Secure a Better Glass Of
Men.

Men.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Ever since the
puolic and official attention was directed to
the subject of the frequency of desertions
from the army year or SO ago. there has
been a determined effort on the part Of
the authorities to improve the quality Of ma
terial with which the service was recruited,
in the belief that in this lay the remedy for
the evil for which cause was SO diligently
sought. Extra endesvors were made TO Sc
cure young men who sought the army as a
profession, rather than as a haven Of ref
uge, and to this end the efforts Of the re-
cruiting officers have been systematically
turned away from the cities toward the
country. The new system has just begun
TO show its fruits, and is more than Justify
ing the expectations OF those who inaugur-
ated it.
WHAT AN OFFICER SAYS.
An officer of the adjutant generals de-
partment, who has charge of this work, re-
marked recently: I'VE are having very
good luck with our later recruits, and
think the army is to-day composed Of bet.
ter class OF people than ever before. We
have abandoned the city field almost en-
tireiy for the country, where we are more
apt to find vigorous young men,
free from the contamination of the rough
life Of the towns, AID eager TO do well and
to wear ohevrons. Such men make good
soldiers, far better than the old, hardensd
toughs who come out of the slums TO enlist
as last resort or as means of drowning
their Identities
SUBURBAN ENLIsTMENTs.
"Our efforts in theline Of suburban enlist
ments have been SO satisfactory that we
have begun to try the experiment Of allow
ing the commanders Of one or two regi-
ments which are stationed in the midst of
agricultural districts to send out recruiting
parties in their own neighborhood to fill up
the depleted ranks. In former years
this was almost impossible, for the bulk
Of the army n as posted oh the plains out Of
reach of the numerous farms, and far be-
yond any available local material.
Now, however, with the rapid spread Of
population westward, regimental headquar-
ters are becoming centers Of settle
ment, and in my opinion the day
is not far of when each regimentaI
commander will have both the power and
means to fill his ranks without having TO
send to the great recruiting depots In the
east for mon. Then and only then, will the
average soldier be what be should be, and
the commander having picked bis own men
will take greater pride in their efficiency
and continued service.

The commander-in-chief and the executive
committee of the council of administration met
at the city of Washington, ID. c., on the 18th
and 18th instant.
At this meeting the citizens committee of
Washington, composed of many of the substan-
tial and energetic men of this city, presented
their report and written agreements made by
them with the hotels and boarding houses in
regard 10 their charges and prices
The evidence produced was entirely satisfac-
tory to the executive committee and justifes
the statement that liberal rates rs to board and
transportation will be extended to the Grand
Army, and that great preparations will be made
TO make the visit to the capital of the nation
memorable in the history of our order;
the executive committee, presided over by the
eommander-in-chief. therefore decided that
the next. the twenty-sixth encampment OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, shall be held in
the citysot Washington. ID. c., on the Goth, 2lst
and 22d days of September. 1892.
The chairman of the executive committee Of
the citizens of Washington, Comrade John Joy
Edison, WILL as soon as practicable, forward to
each post circular containing prices of
board. &C. OF the hotels and boarding
heIses; the secretary of the same COM
rnlttee, Comrade Harrison Dingman. and the
Chairman of the committee On accommodation,
Col L. L. Wright. are prepared TO assist posts
IN obtaining suitable quarters.
The headquarters of departments will. for
business purposes. be located at the city hail.
suitable headquarters will also be pro-
vided for the Woman's Relief Corps
and the ladies of the Grand Army. 1t Is also
proposed to provide headquarters for corps of

them in the same corps. The commander-in-
chief will be CHARTERED at the Ebbitt House.
The Grand Army will form for parade on the
Goth of September. 1892, as follows: The sur
wing members of the sixth Massachusetts,
militia, the United States Veteran
Signal Corps Association, the departments
OF the Grand Army according to seniority, the
Department of the Potomac having, however,
the left: then the National Association of Naval
Veterans Of the United States.
Many memories cluster in and about WASH
ington, and the grand review of the army, a
little over twenty-six years ago, is not the least
OF them. Once more an opportunity Is offered
US to meet and parade, the COMMUNICATIVE chief
hopes, in solid ranks and numbers, in the his
toric capital of our country. Every member
of our order who can possibly do so. and GER
taiuly every one who will be in Washington
should therefore be found in the ranks and in
the parade on Pennsylvania avenue in memory
of the past, for the honor and glory of our I'M
divided country and the credit of the Grand
Army of the Republic

A Threatened Freight blockade.

10 the tditor OF The Evening Star
The committees are all busy getting things
in shape, SO We are told, for the encampment
next fall. There is ali important matter that
affects the merchants here: That is, the want
of facilities for handling freight. At the pres
ent time, when there is nothing extraordinary
going on, our business is nearly paralyzed on
account of the length of time it takes to get
our goods. Our goods have been
out two weeks from Baltimore and
not in Washington yet. Ours are
shifted about ON the trucks here
for two or three weeks before they are put in
position. If that is the condition now what
may we expect then? 1t will be worse than a
repetition of the Masonic conclave when the rail-
roads took from one to three months TO get
their freights here in order. and the only salts
faction merchants could obtain from them was
the statement that they had not facilities for
handling freight then. and there has been no
improvement since. All the railroads care for
is to get the people here and let freights of our
merchants take care Of themselves
