Of crowdipg tue streets to au oxtent
mover before witnessed In Pittsburgh,
which Is rather ataid old town. and
noted for its quIc.ude on tho Sabbath.
The saloons were closed, Of course. but
other business was transacted in way
WHICH made the average citizen imagine
that ho was AWAY from home, visiting
some other place not go stiff In tho OBJ.
seryance Of tho blue laws. The univer-
sal comment Of the visitors regarding
the decorations and display OF patriot
ism IL that at no time In tho past at an
euuampinent has Pittsburgh boon out
doao. Tho display Is lavish, aud In tho
majority OF cases neat and tasty.

the local regiments OF the national
guard, and With dying colors and bands
playing arc taken to tho places

the thropgs on the sidewnikA The
work Of the citizens committee, though
enormous, 10 being transacted in o.
soldicr-like way, and the ground 10
covered thoroughly. Up 10 q late hour

pE1reArrs PROM HAWAI-
The naval veterans who arrived to-
day are established in quarters on the
river on steamers fitted up especially
for their use. Old times certainly are
being viyidly recalled TO them for they
are living under strict naval discipline
on their "ships" and seem TO bc enjoy
ing 1t TO the full extent.
Among the noted arrivals today were
two men from Honolulu. They repre-
sent the full membership OF tho q: a.
R. in Hawaii. and were determined to

ROASTING TIE RAILROADS
About the only matter that might DO.
called disaareeable in connection with
the cncampmen. so far, is tho feeling OF
bitterness telt by tho G. A. r people
at tho action oi tho railroads 10 refusing
q one cent mile rato for nearby towns,
thereby keeping down tho number Of
visitors at least 10000.
1t has cropped out that tho subject
will he introduced In tho convention
and resolution offered, backed BY the
delegates from Pennsylvonia and Ohio,
to tho effect that hereafter no encamp'
meuts will be hold, but that the dele'
gutos, l,20O in number, meet and trans:
act necessary business at the expense oil
their respective poets without asking
tavors from tho railroads. Tho voter
ans cannot understand why In tue
past Columbus and Milwaukee werc
granted the ono cent rate and FITS
busgh denied IL.
Prom what can bo learned tho Cleve.
land peopla are leading tho revolt. II
ii not known how tho resolution Will
be received.
