THE 81 ken
.Pittsburg in Complete Posses
sion Of the Grand Army
Veterans.
4 DAY WITH MANY REUNIONS.
Naval Veterans Elect Francis
B. Allen Commander
in-Chief.

PITTsBuRG, Sept. 1.-THE first day OF
the 28th annual G.. a. r. encampment
has closed and nothing but the best can
be said Of it. The weather has been
superb and the crowds large, and no
accidents have happened to mar the
day. The marching event of the day
was the parade of the naval veterans,
who went over the rather long route
with a precision and excellence Of drill
that called forth the heartiest cheers
from the spectators. The veterans
numbered 1000 and were led by Rear
Admiral Osborn. = ..a..
In the afternoon the ladies of the
G.. A. r. and Women's Relief Corps
were taken through the city and sub
urbs in carriages, following which re-
ception was held at the Monongahela
hols
The Social Event of the Day
was reception by Mrs. George West
inghouse at her suburban reridence
"Solitude' given to the visiting ladies.
Some Of the delegates who have at
tended military affairs on many occa-
sions pronounce this the most gorgeous
they ever witnessed. The horical dec
orations were the finest ever seen in this
city. Henry Watterson, Ex-Governor
Beaver and all of the prominent ma
tional officers of the G. A. r. were
present.
Many reunions were held during the
day and evening by members of the diff
ferent regiments and many were the
"reminiscences exchanged.
The sidewalks are inadequate to &C.
commodate the crowds that throng
them and the roadways are used along
the main streets. Street cars and We.
hicles are almost blockaded. Taken
altogether Pittsburg has never before
enjoyed such scene Of animation. In
Vulnerable bands are marching through
the down town streets serenading the
newspapers and prominent people.
Canvassing Has Been Going On
briskly already in all directions in con-
nection with G.. A. r. politics. Of the
four candidates for the Office of COM
mander-in-chief, each has pretty strong
backing among the delegates to the en-
campment. Judge Long Of Michigan
has an enthusiastic following, but the
friends Of Colonel Lawler of Illinois
claim to have almost all the Northwest
ern states behind him, while the sup
porters Of Colonel Walker of Indiana
assert that they have promises enough
to carry him through. The Texas as
pirant, John D. Bigger, also has plenty
Of friends who are confident of his abil-
ity to win.
Louisville and St. Paul are waging a
strong fight between them for the next
encampment. The Louisville delega-
ton, however, claim to have promises
enough from the various dera :tments
to result in a majority of the national
delegates voting in favor of that city.
Kansas City is also pushing her claims
for RECOGNITION.

SOME GOOD RESULTS OF THE FIRE.

SOME GUUU RESULTS OF THE FIRE.
Land Cleared of Brush and Dead Trees,
Saving Years of Hard Work.
H1NCKLEY; Mimi, Sept. 1.-THE ter
rible forest fires which devastated the
north end of Pine county, leaving death
and destruction in their wake, were not
altogether a curse. The area burned
over is approximately 16 miles wide and
80 miles long, and therefore contains
480 square miles, or 220,S0O acres. To
clear this amount of land of trees and
underbrush by the slow process of the
husbandman would be an almost in
terminable task. Yet the fire did in a
few hours the work Of years, and did it
in an effectual though terrible manner.

NEED MORE AID.
Appear in Behalf Of Fire Suf-
ferers BY Minnesota Re-
lief Board.
WHAT is MOST NECESSARY.
Are All Worthy People but
Unable to Re-Establish
Themselves.

ooaINs dpIsO1Hocu Dy OOVeTnOT Nelson
to look after destitute people in the fire
district at Hinckley and vicinity, has
published a statement telling what has
been done, and what should be done in
the future for the poor people. The adj
dress says: ....z,.
The work Of searching for and busy
ing the dead has now been practically
completed. The devastated district has
been thoroughly explored by trained
woodsmen and possibly all the dead
have been found and buried
Hundreds of People to Provide For.
Twelve hundred people from Hinck-
ley, Sandstone and other parts found
refuge at Duluth, where their immedi-
ate wants have been most generously
met by the citizens. About 500 people
have been cared for at Pine City, and a
large number at Rush City, Mora and
Princeton. a@
Hundreds of people have been left
destitute. To re-establish these people
as far as possible in their old homes,
and, when, not practicable, to locate
them elsewhere under such conditions
as viii enable them to support them
selves, viii be the endeavor of the Min
nesota state commission.
What Is Most Needed.
The fire sufferers may be classified
as follows:
First-Single men who need only an
outfit ct clothing and perhaps little
money to enable them to look for work
Second-Smal farmers, most of whom
have bought 40 to 120 acres of land on
contract, ON which they have paid
small amount. Most of these people
want to go back ON the land. There are
probably $50 Of these farmers.
Third-Villagers Of Hinckley and
Sandstone. Sole of these people want
to return at once; others may have to
seek new homes if the industries at
those places are not resumed.
Fourth-Widows with small children
who ought to locate in the smaller
towns Of the state.
They Are All Worthy People.
The sufferers by this fire are an
excellent class of people. Their re-
quests are moderate, but the commits
sion finds that a very large amount of
money, building material and supplies
will be needed. Contributions Of baled
hay, oats, barley and especially winter
rye, are needed to provide seed and
food for stock.
While contributions of material are
acceptable, the commission would re.
mind the people of the state that money
is the most portable and useful contri-
button possible. A large proportion Of
the people are farmers They must be
fitted out with houses, farming imple-
ments and supplies until they can raise a
crop, and this will require large
amount of money.
Where to Send Cash or Supplies.
Cash contributions should be sent
direct to Kenneth Clark, treasurer, st.
Paul. Those having supplies will notify
him and he will send instructions as to
shipment. The commission has desig-
mated its secretary, Mr.. H. II. Hart, to
represent them in general execution
of the work. Communications not re-
lating to contributions should be ad-
dressed to H. H. Hart, Pine City. The
commission will have representatives at
Hinckley, Pine City and Duluth.

a PRINCES IMPRESSIONS
Gathered From Visits to Siberia and Cities
Of the United States.

BosTON, Jan. S.-Prince Galitzin of
Russia, who has been travelling eastward
from st. Petersburg since May, 1891, as q
representative of this Imperial Geographic
cal society, arrived here last night. He
was the first Russian to make the trip
through the mountains from Chinese
Turkestan to India, and he is the only
man who has explored certain plateaus in
northern Thibet. At the request Of the
car he made reports on the condition OF
Siberian exiles and prisoners. Regarding
these he said last night:
"There are two things to be described
in the life of exile, one is the journey and
and the other the prisons or mines. The
Journey of the convicts is terrible, being
a walk of three years at least, and after
this the prison is paradise. The food,
light and arrangements are good, but the
quarters are badly overcrowded. AT
Sackalin prisoner usually has home
of his own after the first year.
''On the other hand. the exiles sent to
Yakutzk find themselves in a little vii
lage without money and without work to
do to earn it.
'sSiberia is very rich and fine country,
and it is bad thing to spoil it by sending
convicts there that might be imprisoned
in Russia Work in the mines is not so
terrible as you suppose. OF course it is
dangerous, but the men work only from q
in the morning until in the afternoon"
In regard to his impressions of this
country Prince Galitzin said: "If you
mean by the United States. Emerson and
Longfellow and the town-meeting and
xorr baautiful constitution which ia the
life of all this people, and the comfortable
lives of your middle classes, l am great
admirer of the United States.
About the European situation he said
the times seemed good for peace, but it
was no use to predict about the war.
The prince will live for three years in
Washington, doing literary work for
Russian and American magazines.

the following dispatch from Rio Janeiro:
Admiral Da Cana still holds out, stat

the ultimate result, and received 1900

considered honest, though he has no
special ability.
The past week has been uneventful.

fly of Mocangue, and occasional firing
along the shore front of the city. The
