Friday, according to the Grand Army
program, was to be excursion day, but
it was exodus day. The encampment
was late in gathering and the attend
ance was curtailed. Reports of progress
on the Logan and Sheridan monuments
were read.
There are $12 900 private subscriptions
and a congressional appropriation,
enough to make $4,000 for the Logan:

The per capita tax was reduced from

The officers were called to the stage, the
encampment arose, the ritual was read
and the obligation administered. With
these simple ceremonies the officers took
their places.
Commander-in Chief John Palmer was
presented with the flag by the retiring
ommander-in-chief with the declara-
ton that there would he 100000 men
stand by him and the flag, Palmer then
assumed the gavel and closed the silver

TOO SERIOUS TO BE IGNORED.
The Story That the Kaiser While Drunk
Killed Sailor.

Killed n Sailor.
LONDON, Aug. ga Berlin dispatch
says that Count Won Munster, the Ger
man ambassador at Paris, has been in
structed to ascertain the origin of the
outrageous story published in French
newspaper accusing the kaiser of hav-
ing killed lieutenant in a drunken
orgie on the Hohenzollern.
Although the German imperial family
have been accustomed to ignore libels in
the French press, it is said that Chancel-
lor Capriyi, urged by the ex-Empress
Frederick, considers this attack in q
prominent paper too serious to be ignored,
and it is possible that, if an apology is
not offered, the French ambassador, at
Berlin, may be given his passports, not
with view to war, but as an evidence
of the indignation of Germany. 1t is
understood that the kaiser himself has
not yet been made aware of the state
ments of the French press, and that
when he is, there may be scene in
which the French legation will figure.
1t may be remembered that the pres
ent Gar of Russia, who usually ignores
what foreigners say about him, was ac-
cused some years ago, of numbering one
of his officers in fit of senseless rage.
The czar was deeply moved when he
heard of the report, and caused it to be
circumstantially denied throughout the
world 1t is believed that the kaiser,
who is much more sensitive to public
opinion, will have something to say
about the accusation against him.

Members from the South-The Major
fty's Reasons for Rejecting the Petition
for Separate Departments.
DETROIT, Aug. 8. The majority of the
committee to which was referred the pc
tition for separate negro department of
the Grand Army in the gulf states re-
ported Thursday evening that "this or
ganization, the Grand Army of the Re
public, from its birth at Decatur, H., in
1865, to this, its silver encampment, has
never turned from its post doors any de-
serving comrades, however humble, on
account of hisnationality, creed or color
The only qualification for membership is
an honorable discharge from the United
States army, navy or marine corps from
81 to G5,' rs the evidence that he aided
in maintaining the honor, integrity and
the national government during the late
rebellion, providing, always, that the APP
plioant has done nothing in civil life to
cast stain on his honorable record in
liberty's cause During the fierce strug-
gle for the life of the nation we stood
shoulder to shoulder as comrades tried.
it is too late TO divide now on the color
line. A man who is good enough to
stand between the flag and those who
would destroy it when the fate Of the
nation was trembling in the bal
ance is good enough to be n
comrade in any department of the
Grand Army of the Republic. No diff
ferent rule has been or ever shall be rec
ognized by the survivors of the Union
army and navy. No department should
be established for any color or nation
atty
A minority report recommended the
formation of II separate negro depart
ment with concurrent territorial juris-
diction.
The majority report was adopted by
an overwhelming majority by viva voce
vote. No division was called for. There
was loud cheering by the northern sol
diers and the colored members. Tho
southelners who demanded the separate
department took their defeat much to
heart.
