expected that all or nearly all the sur
viving generals of the union army will
attend the encampment and review. In
vitations have been extended to all of
them, irrespective of their affiliations
with the grand army, and many have
already signified their acceptance. In
any event the reviewing stand will con-
tain the largest number of civic and
military dignitaries and officials that
has ever assembled ut one place since
the close of the war.
The annual report Of Adjutant Gen.
,eral j. II. Goulding will contain infor-
nation and statistics of great value, not
only to the grand army, but to the gen.
eral public.
At the close of the last fiscal year
the record of the various departments
showed that $3.50, 900 had been expend-
ed in relieving comrades, eX-soldiers
md their families, and that nearly 49,
600 had been objects of bounty by tho
order during the year. Tho aggregate
amount expended by tho grand army
posts for relief since 1871 reached the
enormous sum of nearly $4,000, 600. Tho
past year has been the most successful
one in the history of tho order in the
way of raising money for maintaining
homes and asylums for soldiers or
.phans, and the erection of monuments.
The pension question will again oc-
cupy the attention Of the delegates to
the national camp.
A number Of important amendments
to the rules and regulations of the or
der will be brought to tho attention of
the efcampnient. Propositions have
been submitted to amend the rules SO
as to permit sons Of veterans to Join In
post meetings, also to make the Oldest
son or other male representative of
deceased comrade eligible for member

standing who are unable to pay dues.

Especial Correspondence

AS the time approaches for the na-
nonal encampment of the grand army,
The interest in the great gathering of
veterans seems to extend and increase.
Detroit clubs are being organized In
every city and state in the country; new
uniforms are being provided; old flags
are being busted and repaired; camp
equipments are being collected, and
pnce more the ancient cantcen is in de-
mand; for no camp fire could be sue
cessfully kindled without that emblem
of luxury. This is jubilee year with
the grand army veterans, and the camp
at Detroit will be the most important
event in the history of the order. The
membership now has nearly reached
half million, and the order has reached
q crisis in it's existence. The coming
encampment is intended as a celebra-
fion of the silver anniversary of the
order, and in the natural course of
events the practical work of the order
must end before the golden anniversary
Us reached. Already the ranks are
thinning rapidly and there are none to
I'LL the breaches. The next reunion of
The veterans is therefore regarded with
peculiar interest.
has refused to make any appropriation
Hor the entertainment of the old soldier,
still the purses of the people of Detroit
are opened and their hands are out
stretched to welcome the battle-scared
veteran from near and far.
The hospitality provided will be linn
fted only by the capacity of the veter-
PANS for enjoyment. The programme
for entertaining the old boys has been
so arranged that every day and hour
will be occupied with some fresh at
Traction.
Each state and territory constitutes
"a department of the order and it now ap-
pears tolerably certain that thirty de-
partments will be represented ut tho
encampment, and that exclusive of the
national officers and department dele,
gates ut least 10000 veterans will at
tend.
One of the principal features of the
injecting will be series of monster re-
unions of comrades who were closely
Inllied in arms and in battle, but who
have become widely scattered since the
close OF the war. OF these reunions tho
most important will be the army of tho
Potomac, the army of the Tennessee
the army of the Cumberland, the Penn
fsylvania cavalry, the naval veterans
the ,ex-prisoners of war, the veteran
hignal corps, the sharp-shooters asso

citation and several others. A series
OF camp fires will also be kindled
where war stories and anecdotes, and
speeches eloquent, humorous and
spicy, will revive memories of days on
the march and nights in bivouac,
where battles will be fought over agssin
.and the veteran will shoulder his
!sratch and show how fields were won"
4 The parade pro mises to be the most
magnificent display ever made by the
grand army, both in numbers and
equipment. Many of the old posts and
most of the new ones have adopted and
procured handsome uniforms, and in
this respect the order never was In bet
ter condition to make brilliant public
demonstration. Besides, many of the
posts have procured some novel features
for the great procession. One Of the
philadelphia posts, which will put 400
men in line, has provided umbrellas.
each Of which has been painted to rep
resent a portion of the battle of Gettys-
burg. and when carried in the line of
march the combined effect will be q
splendid representation of that famous
engagement
| George II. Thomas Post No. S, OF
Chicago, will put 500 men in line with
unique umbrellas representing a mon
lster flag of the United States
covering the entire post and ex-
tending several blocks. Sault Ste.
Marie post will nlso be rep
resented by an umbrella brigade. The
umbrellas have been painted SO that
when combined in the line of march
they viii represent Lake Superior, the
city of the 500, and the namc of each
post along the shores of the great lake
will be painted in red, thus combining
the lake. the city and the national col
sors. This will be the distinguishing
feature of what will be known as the
Lake Superior battalion, which will be
composed of all posts along the borders
of the great lake.
The Michigan posts are arranging to
have every battle flag in the state car
rted by the men who carried them in
tho war as far as they survive or can be
procured.
The California department will send
