Washington, Aug. indianapolis will
he the place selected for the biennial en-
campment of the Knights of Pythias in
1895. This has been practically decided
on through the Withdrawal of the other
contestants for the honor-Boston and
Minneapolis. Notwithstanding the fail
ure of the railroad companies to make low
rates to Washington, 10000 people have
visited the city since the Pythian encamp-
ment began. About two-thirds Of these
were Pythians and their friends.
THAT UNION JACK MATTER.
In the big parade on Tuesday, the To-
ronto division of the uniform rank carried
British flag, and this has been one of
the principal topics of comment among
the Pythia ms from this side of the line
Ma. Gen. Carnahan, cOmmander-in-
chief of the uniform rank, is a staunch
supporter of the action of the
Canadians. He says there is not
division in the order more
loyal to its interests or which takes a
more active part in its affairs. This is
the fourth consecutive encampment
which this particular Toronto division
has attended. Gen. Carnahan says it was
perfectly proper for them to carry the
union lack, and he holds that it would
have been Just as proper for the Cana
dians to have objected when, at the en-
campment in Toronto in 1886, all the di-
visions carried the stars and stripes.
