VETERANS IN THE CITY.

Gen. John Palmer, the Commsnder-in-C Chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic last year,
was in Washington last week on business
Gen. Palmer likes Washington very much,
has an extensive acquaintance. and he visits
this city with good deal of satisfaction, as is
is closely identified with the closing days of
his administration. He attributes much of the
success of the last National Encampment TO the
citizens of Washington. He says that he is
now deyoting his attention to business having
given up practically an entire year TO the
Grand Army. He looks upon the Encamp-
ment held in this city as marking the high
water mark in the history of these gatherings.
The Encampment next year at Indianapolis,
however, he thinks will be largely attended, a.
in addition to the interest which belongs to
these annual meetings the old soldiers will
have an opportunity to visit the Worlds Fair.

TO sWINDLE OLD SOLDIERS,

The attention of Commissioner of the Gen.
eral Land Office Stone was called last week
to q circular letter promulgated in Oklahoma
City, Okla, Offering to procure for soldiers the
fling of a declsratory statement under the
homestead laws for given sum, on lands
within the Cherokee Strip which, il is e1-
pected. will soon be open for disposal under the
homestead laws. The land is stated to be worth
$25 per acre. 1t is also represented i'll the cir
cuIar that soldiers who are too old to go to the
land themselves may file 160 acres for their
children.
Commissioner Stone says that such lands
cannot be procured by soldiers or others with
out actual residence and cultivation of the
lands in person for period prescribed under
the law and the pay ment of price hereafter to
be determined by Congress, which will prob
ably be not less than 81 80 per acre. The Com
missioner warns the public that the scheme
indicated in the circular letter may be used for
fraudulent purposes. The filings contem-
plated by the law, he says. can only be made
by parties for their own use for residence and
cultivation, and not for purposes of sale or
speculation.

GEN. SHERIDAN,S STATUE.
The Site will Probably be Changed to the
Front of the War Department.


Front of the War Department.
There was good deal Of talk in Washington
last week of q possible change in the site of
the proposed statue of Gen. Philip ii. Sheri-
dan that will be erected in this city. Az at
present fixed upon the site is upon the triangu-
lar reservation on Pennsylvania Ave, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, in front of
the National Theater. but the suggestion has
been made that it would be more appropriate
to place the statue in front of the War Depart
ment. and it is now thought that this will
probably be done.
In front of the War Department, on Penn
sylvania Ave-, are two small reservations now
planted in grass about six feet below the level
of the street. one on each side OF the main en-
trance to the War Department. 1t is proposed
to place the statue in one of these, and if this
is done the statue of Gen. Sherman will prob
ably be located in the other. This would make 4
decided improvement in the appearance OF the
front of the building. while the building would
furnish an appropriate and handsome back
ground for the two equestrian figures.
The proposition to change the site of Gen.
Sheridan's statue has been made known to
Mrs. Sheridan, and is is understood that she
approves of it most heartily.

cognizant of this. debated the question very
