rolls 46j, j,74l Members.

Washington, Aug. 2s.-Preparations for
a grand parade Of the uniform rank of
the Knights of Pythias have engrossed the
attention of the Pythias to-day. Many
thousands of visitors were attracted to
the camp by exhibition drills.
The conclave of the supreme lodge was
called to order at 10 O'Clock this morning
by the grand secretary.
The roll call was answered by dele
gates from nearly every state and terri
tory in the Union. The report of Su-
preme Chancellor Blackwell will attract
great attention for the vigorous manner
in which he deals with questions arising
from what he terms "Organized rebellion
of persons who have persisted in pub
lislling and using German translatious."
He recommends the lifting of the bar
against the Pythian sisterhood. The
membership of the order of the Knights
of Pythias on July was 465,74l and
the financial condition very satisfactory.

A CALL FOR CAMERON.
One OF the Republican Strength
in the senate Wants Him for
President.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The Denver
Times-Sun's advocacy of Senator Cam
eron's nomination for president on the
Republican ticket Is attracting much
attention among the politicians here.
The opinions of twelve senators, repre-
senting eight Republican states, have
been ascertained and they are all favor
able-most of them Mandatory. They
represent one-seventh of the senate in
number, and almost one-third of the
Republican strength in the senate.
Among those to speak favorably of
Cameron are Senator Gallnger, of New
Hampshire; Dubois and Shoup of Idaho;
Senator Jones, of Nevada; Senator Quay,
of Pennsylvania; Senator Pettigrew, of
South Dakota; Senator Hansbrough, of
North Dakota; Senator Stewart, of
Nevada, and Senator Mitchell, of Oregon.
The latter says;
"To my mind Senator Cameron meets
all the requirements. His record as a
Republican and as a believer in bimetal-
lism is first-class. He would command
the support of Republicans everywhere,
and his nomination on platform advo-
eating silver money and protection to
American industries would cause eastern
Republicans to look into the money ques-
tion and bring them around to the sup
port of silver as money metal. This is
the reason why the people in the western
states are turning their eyes towards Cam
eron as the standard bearer of the Re-
publican party in &c."
