DETROIT, Aug. 3.-The City of De-
troit is in possession G the Union veter-
ans of the late war Every train since
Saturday morning has been loaded with
them, and now it is estimated that there
are fully oU,U0O CT them in the city.
Saturday luurHing the last OF the four
trinml.,.al arches was finished, the
last bit of bunting flung to the breeze,
and every body awaited the arrival OF
the trains that would bring the veterans
into the city.
OF tie four arches erected perhaps
the leactA arch. opposite the city hall
which, IS a narvelously clever imitation
of lariau marble, and was filled with
tro; ;c;,t plants from Florida, is the
mos l1uminent. Outside of the fact
that it IS beautiful in itself it was rem
deretj dCubly attractive by the presence
of ftty Young women who streW button
hole buuuets on the vets as they
marched under The next more pre-
tentious arch, that Of triumph, is also a
grand affair. reaching skyward over the
buildings and holding on its apex
two INDUSTRIOUS cannons, the wheels OF
which are ten feet high, but look small,
so great Is the altitude. The Elf
fel tower at the intersection OF two OF
the main avenues, Is another pretty
structure, being sand blown to initiate
stone and bearing Oh its apex two signal
men.
The Various Camps.
The delegates on their arrival were
taken in hand and conducted to one of
the various camps fitted mp for them
The camp at the Exposition building,
the largest of the lot, had been trans
ferred into great sleeping car, tiers OF
berths running the whole length of the
building. There are two berths in each
tier. and the building, which
has been named Camp Sher-
man. beds $4,000 men. Camp Beecher,
another capacious building, easily fur
nishes room for 5000 old soldiers, and
the various other camps will bring the
total I'D to 10000. Camp Pingree. do
mated by the mayor for the women, IS
an immense hotel that will easily stow
away 1000, and is devoted exclusively
to the female contingent, 10 man being
admitted. Heretofore it has been GUS
tomary to stow the veterans away IN
tents, but they are not so treated here,
every camp being in well lighted and
ventilated building, with plenty of sani-
itarv and health facilities. A feature OF
this camp is the establishment of hos
pital corps which includes fifteen field
hospitals and corps of over $50 doctors
with fifteen ambulances, all connected
with each other and central station by
telephone.

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 1.-Experiments
are now being made in this county with
inoculated chinch bugs from Kansas.
Reports have been received from the
operations on the farm of Frank Seink,
in Cottage Grove. There was brought
to town a box of dead bugs picked up
near single stalk of spring wheat on
Seink's farm. The inoculated bugs were
placed in the field July Sand the insects
are dying by the million, but so late
that although the experiment has
proved a great success, the wheat was
so far gone before the inoculated bugs
were put in that little of it can be saved.

THE PARADE.
One of the Grandest Displays Ever Made
by the Grand Army.

One of the Grandest Displays Ever Made
by the Grand Army.
DETROIT, Aug. 4.-The parade of the
Grand Army veterans was the grandest
ever made by the organization. About
10000 men were in line made up entirely
of old veterans, not single military
company turning out. The Fourth
regiment, however, did police duty dur
ing the day. The city was given over
to the veterans, every street within
three blocks of the line of march being
closed by the proclamation OF the mayor
and intrusion further guarded against
by the roping off of the section and the
stationing of strong armed guard at
each street intersection.
The parade started from the corner of
woodward and Adams avenues shortly
after 1870 a. ~, the hour set, and
marched over the course laid out, a dis
tance of about two and half miles. At
the reviewing stand We're General Vea-
zey, commander-in-chief, and dozen
governors of states, among them Gov
ernor Fifer, OF Illinois; Ex-Governor
Oglesby, from the same state; Governor
Peck, of Wisconsin,; Governor Camp
bell; of Ohio; Governor Winans, of
Michigan. with his staff; General Miles,
of the United States army; Gen
eral Lucius Fairchild; Mrs. John
a. Logan, and General G.. II. Freeman.
The Illinois veterans were assigned
the right of line, and followed the COM
mander-in- chief and staff. The other
dcpartm ents marched in the following
oroer: Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts,,
New Jersey. Maine, California, Rhode

Some Novel Features.
Several umbrella brigades were novel
features CT the procession. The George
H. Thomas post, of Chicago, had 500
men in line with unique umbrellas,
which fitted together to form a monster
flag of the United States, covering the
entire post. One of the Philadelphia
posts had 400 men with umbrellas, each
of which had portion of the battle of
Gettysburg printed upon it, and when
all were in line the combined effect was
representation of the famous fight.
The Sault Ste. Marie post presented a
bird's-eye view of Lake Superior, with
TIE names in red OF the cities along the
shore from which posts are present
These posts formed the Lake Superior
battalion, and they hailed from every
important town along the shores of the
great lake. There was no end of bands.
five of Chicago's best bands, four from
st. Louis, five from Boston, and the
same number from Philadelphia, were
in line, and every city of any Importance
from Maine 10 California was represent
ed by at least one band.
