The above is the splendid total which
the people of Seattle and the surrounding
country have contributed TO the Posr-IN-
TELLIGENcER fund for the relief of the suf-
ferers by the Roslyn explosion. 1t Is just
a week today since the PosT-INTELLIGES-
GER announced its willingness to be-
come the depository of the peo-
ple's bounty and pledged itself to
promptly forward all sums received to the
scene of distress. In those seven days,
without solicitation but with only the an
nouncement that here they would be re-
ceived, the people have poured their
bounty to the amount of almost So, 100
into the hands of the afflicted through the
medium.
1t is a good work, and let it go on. Let
the size of the total be the incentive TO
swell it still further, for the gift will bring
not only comfort to the receiver, but bless
ings to the giver.
In forwarding the contributions from
Fairhaven mines Richard Jennings, the
superintendent, writes:
We wish to say that we are not running very
large force, and that every man in the camp
gave something for the cause.
The following communication has been
received from the iladleS' Hebrew BeNeVO-
lent Society and is self-explanatory:
The undersigned wish TO thank the ladies and
gentlemen who SO kindly assisted in making .
success Of the entertainment given Monday
night under the spices Of the Ladies' He-
brew Benevolent Society for the benefit OF the
Roslyn sufferers-those who donated all things
necessary; those who took part in the enter
tainment: the newspapers that advertised
gratuitously; the gentleman in the box oflice,
and those who gave their services free of
charge also the ladies' who helped sell tickets.
Notable among these were Mr. Winstock and
Miss Frances .lzinski, who were instrumental
in arranging for the entertainment The entire
proceeds amounting to 1867 -, were turned
over to the PosT-ISTELLIG ESCER fund for the
Roslyn sufferers, there having been no ex-
penses, everything being donated.

ioice, Hoping He VIII Accept.
WASHINGTON CRY. May 1s-[Special i
The anti Harrison men appear to be
well pleased today over the fact that
several prominent Republicans have
interviewed Blaine within the last
week and that none of them have
been able to get statement from him as
to what he would do in case the nomina-
tion were given to him q. Minneapolis.
Tins they regard as good omen. 1t was
learned today that no less than eight
Republican senator's had called on
M- Blaine and practically demanded
that he give them some idea as 10 what
he would do If nominated. None of these
gentlemen were able 10 get a decided
answer from the secretary. He listened to
all they had TO say, but good-na:ureliy
married all attempts 10 put himself on rec
ord He was told by no less than
three that he would be nominated at
MINNEAPOLIS. When the direct question
vas nut 10 him as to whether he would re-
fpse or not, he evaded the issue every
time.
The Blainites and the anti Harrison
men generally feel perfectly satisfied now
that if Secretary Blaine had made up his
mind TO refuse the nomination he would
have said so. They assert that
they can easily see why ii would
he injudicious for him TO say that
he would accept. because of the fact that

The South Carolina Democrats.

COLUMBUS, S. c., May 1s.-The state
Democratic convention met at noon with
w. b. Calbert as temporary chairman.
The impression is that an uninstructed
delegation will be sent to Chicago. The
Alliance delegates to the convention
met last night. A platform was
adopted for presentation to the Demo-
cratic convention, which includes the
Ocala demands. There was a fight over
the resolution demanding financial re-
form, the free coinage of silver, and pro-
testing against the nomination of Grover
Cleveland as the representative of the
money changers of Wall street An
amendment pledging the delegation to
abide by the action of the Chicago conven-
ton caused an animated discussion. The
conference finally adjourned without
reaching definite plan.

widow and S. to each orphan.
The Walla Walla gentlemen are so
impressed with the sorrows of the widows
and orphans that upon their return they
will appeal to their citizens for more dona-
tons of money and clothing. for every
thing is badly needed. For the past month
the men have not averaged SO month,
and have lived from hand to mouth. and
now even that support has been taken
away by their deaths.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The report OF

This report shows there was gain OF 229
in the number of new posts during the past

tence of this report is the following
practically it may be said that the MEM
bership of the q. A. r. is now at its highest
point. 1t, no doubt, will remain stationary
for few years to come, when. necessarily,
it must decrease, and the decrease will De
rapid"
The only interesting feature of the alter
noon session was the selection Of Indian
apolis as the place of the next encampmsnt,
Lincoln, Nebr.. deciding to make no con-
test. Many resolutions and c0mmunica-
tions were referred to the committee on
resolutions. The special committee ap-
pointed to pass upon the report Of the sur
ge0n-general brought in report cOngratu-
lating the G. A. r. upon the increased efti-
cheney Of that bureau. The report was
adopted, as was The report Of the commi ttee
on pensions, which was included in that OF
the adjutant-general. and contained no new
feature of interest. The encampment thea
adjourned until tomorrow.
Dr. Il. T. Stevenson, the surgeon general
of the G. 4. r., ia his annual report COM
plains that many posts have failed to MAKE
any sanitary and mortuary returns. so that
the statistics on these matters were very in
complete.
According to Commissioner Raum, at the
close OF the last fiscal year there were s7o,-
07S pensioners on the rolls, and the appro-
priation aggregated S139. l32. 3S7. In addi-
tlon to these vast expenditures, the annual
appropriation for numerous Government
homes was 81, 633, $40 There was also 173
Government cemeteries kept up by the Gov
ernment appropriation. These appropria-
ti0ns says the report, seem large. But"
1t adds, They should be thought of in ref
erence to the grand, moving cause calling
them into being-the preservation of the
Government from oyerthrow-and who can
place too high an estimate on that achieve
ment? 1t is absolutely beyond a monetary
consideration"
In this connection the report makes a
statement Of the national resources, quoting
Superintendent Porter of the Census Bu-
rrau, to the effect that the absolute wealth
OF the United States may be estimated at

VETERANS In COUNCIL.
Eneampment of the G. A. R. at Wash.
ingtOn.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. - AT 1925 the
national encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic was called to order by Com
mander-in- Chief Palmer.
The Glee Club of Veterans sang song in
viting the encampment to Indianapolis next
year. and were uproarously applsuded.
Commissioner Douglas of the District Of
Columbia read an address of welcome, and
General Palmer made tasteful and apDrC-
pirate reply.
After the report OF the committee on cre-
dentials had been received, General Palmer
made his annual address. A large portion
of the address was directed to patriotic
"reminiscences of the war, and many scenes
around Washington were recalled to the
veterans The race question, which has
disrupted the G.. A. Il. organizations in Mis-
slSsippi and Louisiana, was reviewed al
great length, the commander explaining
how he was forced to ignore the right of the
department in those States to surrender
charter, and to insist that the colored posts
Nos. to II must be recognized.
After commenting on the series OF reso-
lutions published by the recalcitrant and
insnbordinate retiring white posts he con-
cludes as follows:
'Iu dealing with this subject / was not
actuated by an unkind thought toward
single member Of the department 1t was
known there were disintegratiug forces at
work which the National Encampment con-
cluded it was time TO arrest. and in the dis
charge of the duty incumbent upon me
under my oath of Office | did it without
either feeling, fear or prejudc T."
The passage by Congress of the disability
pension bill was warmly commended, and
ii was urged that the statutes to protect the
rights of veterans OF the late war in civil
service be more rigidly enforced.
