Thrilling Description of Gorgeous Parade
That Can Never he Forgotten.
DETROIT, Aug. 4.-This is a day which
will be long remembered by the veterans of
the Grand Army of the Republic. AS the
opening day of the twenty fifth annual en-
campmeDt. it marks a quarter of century
in the growth of the organization, and
every soldier realizes that it must also
mark the acme in the prosperity Of that
great order which year by year has en-
veloped III its fraternal fold every State of
the great Union from Maine to Texas and
from Florida to Washington. If sentiment.
and sympathy. and love could control the
destiny OF the g. A. r., it would live for
ever. but the memorable logic Of statistics
sounds q warning to every veteran that in
time the surviving comrade of the surviv-
ing post must be mustered out' and the
g. A. r. be known no more, save to the
memory of the grateful nation it defended
and preserved. Every reunion i'm
presses upon the surviving veterans
the fact that the period in their lives
il finally reached when the death rate, like
arithmetieai progression, multiplies year
by year. until now the eternal messenger
decimates their numbers in more deadly
ratio than did all the battles of the war.
IL has therefore been the desire of all the
prominent leaders of the organization that
the twenty fifth encampment should be
the most successful in the history of the
q. A. r., and the parade alike the most
magnificent the order has ever known
Certain it is the multitudes which are as
sembled in Detroit to-day are larger than
the City of the Straits has ever greeted be-
fore. and in the magnihcence of pageantry
and the beauty of decorations to-day's pa
rade is acknowledged to be without prece-
dent In the years that have gone. AS the
tried and trusty soldiers of 81 were eager
for the battle. so the veterans of '9l were
eager for the grand parade. which was to
recall so many "reminiscences of former
days. Before the morning sun had kissed
the spangled arches and emblazoned the
multitude of decorations that marked the
line of march the Grand Army bands were
abroad. and the measured tread of the vet
Grams preparing for the march sounded
through the streets.
Promptly at the hour indicated and with

volunteer soldiers had forgotten none of
their early training. they assembled ut the

. Month Calls on Secretary Tracy.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Flagging interest
in the CHILEAN affair was revived In meas
ure this morning by the visit Of Senior
Don Pedro Montt to the navy department.
He remained with Secretary Tracy for an
hour. Meanwhile messengers had been
sent TO the department of state. They re-
ported Secretary Blaine was with the
President at the White House. After the
conference with the President, Secretary
Blaine returned to the state department.
and Secretary Tracy and the Chilisn min
lister had a conference with him.
| 1t is impossible to learn the object Of
Senior Months visit.
There was some comment upon the call
| of Montt upon Secretary Tracy as foreign
ministers are observant of official proprie-
ties and usually transact any business
they may have with the government to
which they are accredited solely through
| the secretary of state. TIE departure
from the usual practice by Senior Montt to-
day is accounted for on the ground of his
EXPERIENCE IN DIPLOMATIC FoRMALITIKs.
There is reason to believe Senior Months
visit had reference to the inquiry now be-
lug made at Valparaiso into the asSauls
upon the Baltimores sailors, and that In
behalf of the Gillian government he
sought to secure the testimony Of some OF
the American sailors as contained in the
report of Captain Schley'S board OF off,
GERS AS the Gillian inquiry Is being con-
Quoted in secrecy and as Captain Schley 10
not permitted to have one of his officers
present during the examination Of the az
rested American sailors, the United States
government felt bound TO decline TO permit
its sailors to give further testimony. If,
however, the conduct of the investigation
is changed aud the proceedings made pub.
lie to the world Captain Schley will allow
, testimony to be taken by the Chilisn au-
thorities aboard mis- vessel or will send his
sailors ashore to testify.
In his desire to establish the truth Seq

TO-DAY'S ELECTIONS
Both Parties Confident of Victory
in New York.
CAMPBELL SURE OF REELECTION

Boies' Chances Good-Everywhere the
Campaign Eas Been Exciting.

New YORK, Nov. g. Especial dispatch
10 THE HERALD. "A saunter through
the political headquarters, clubs and bet
ting places made by your representative
on this, the eve of one of the most import
ant elections New York ever saw, found
everything strangely quiet considering
the near approach of so momentous an
event. Armed with note of introduction
from Hon. Eliot Sanford, who is now prac-
ticing law here and who was delighted to
be of service to the foremost Democratic
journal of the west, visited the Demo
cratic state committees headquarters in
the rear of the Hoffman house, where
Colonel Lully has the campaign
in charge. Evidently the work was
all over for there were very few signs of
life apparent. Saturday night saw all big
round-ups on both sides and to-day has
been left for meditation ana arrangement
of voting cohorts. "Say to TIE HERALD
and ali U tah Democrats who want to make
some money" said the chief very posi-
lively, 'that they may offer odds on the
election Of Governor Flower, yes odds of
to l. l regard it as certain as any such d
thing can be before it comes Off" Judge
Sanford echoed the opinion that David b,
HIPS successor will by r. p. Flower.
Judge Sanford had just returned from
visit to Massachusetts, where
he says the Republicans are
moving heaven, earth and hades
to defeat Russell. He thinks, however
that that brilliant Democrat has chanc'
of reelection, though the remainder of tht
ticket is doubtful. If Massachusetts goe!
Democratic this year it will go Democrat,
In 1892.
In Ohio, field which New York Demo
Gratis are watching with the most intens
anxiety, everything is in doubt and uncer
tainty. 1t can only be said the Democrat
here are hopeful of the result. The barrel!
and brains of Republicanism have beer
sent there to aid Mckinney, as every on,
comedies that the life or death of McKin
ley is largely dependent on tomorrow

The betting on the New York result her
tonight is 10 to 4 on Flower. Very littl
money has changed hands SO far, less sc

this morning 200 mounted men came in

more than five hundred penitentiary con-

was here yesterday but left this morning

The Maybrick Case in the Court of Appeals.

LONDON, Nov. 2-In the court of ap-
peals the May brick case commenced to-
day. Sir Charles Russell, in opening his
important question. The plaintiffs for
whom he appeared were the executors Of
the will of the late Mr.. May brick, who had
effected an insurance of $4,000 with de-
fendants' insurance company, in favor of
his wife, Mrs. Florence Maybrick, now
confined in Working jail. Defendants,
counsel said, had paid on account 81 900 OF
the amount claimed, but they refused to
pay the remainder. In support of this re-
fusal he said defendants submitted the
conviction of Mrs. Maybrick was not con-
elusive. Continuing, Sir Charles said on
the contrary plaintiffs submitted that the
fact thas sentence was committed was not
evidence of innocence. The real question,
| he claimed, was whether Mr.. May brick,
having effected a policy in favor of his
wife, and whether, assuming that ne died
| at her hands, this was any answer to the
executors claims.
| The ex attorney general then proceeded
to cite authorities in support of his con
tion that the present appeal grew out Of
q Judgment given July 20 last in an action
brought in the interest Of Mrs. Maybricl
| against the insurance association to re-
cover $40, 600 insurance upon her husbands
life. The court then decided, ss Mrs
Maybrick had been convicted of having
murdered her husband, she could not re-.
cover the amount for which his life wa.
insured, as his death was caused by th'
person for whose benefit the action wa
