OF the convention during interims in the

the Chicago platform and its candidates
were received. Senator Caffery, in as.

ST. PAUL, Sept 4.-The thirtieth an
nual encampment Of the Grand Army
of the Republic has ended. The vet.
Grams and their friends have gone home,
for the most part, and all that remains
as reminder of the great crowds that
have for week surged through the
city's streets and struggled for standing
room in street cars and at lunch coun-
ters, is the decorations and tired feel.
ing among the inhabitants. For
it is no light task to feed and house
double the original population
Of a city. But St. Paul has
done it and has done it well. No one
has gone hungry, no one slept out of
doors and everyone was made to feel at
home. Even the keep off the grass
signs were taken down and the visitors
were given, not formally but actually,
the freedom of the city.
Even the weather was of the best
the Minnesota variety. The sun shone
come of the time and some of the time
it did not, but the atmosphere was at
all times bracing. 1t w apleasure to be
moving about, and there was SO much
moving about to be done that heat or rain
would have been almost in the nature
of calamity.
The first day of the encampment was
devoted to the reception of Commander.
in Chief Walker and staff, the local
posts of the Grand Army meeting them
at the depot and escorting them to the
national headquarters at the Ryan ho
tel, and to two receptions in the even
ing, one given by Commander Walker
and the other by the Minnesota Wom-
ans Relief Corps to their national Or
ganization at the state capitol.
On the second day there was parade
of naval veterans, ex-prisoners of war
and Sons of Veterans. There were
also numerous campfires and receptions.
The event of the encampment, the
grand parade of the veterans of the
war, occurred On the third day.
Thursday and Friday were devoted
to the business of the encampment.

RAT: DECENTRALIZATION.

Threatened Now Between St. Paul and
Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept 5.-Western roads
are now fearful that they will be
obliged to confront Generalization in
passenger rates between Chicago and
St. Paul. as well as between Chicago
and the Missouri river. The scalpers
have succeeded in loading up with
great numbers of tickets to St. Paul,
and they are selling them at rates con-
siderably under the agreed tariff, even
for the encampment of the G. A. r.
The rates are bound to be badly de-
N ,ralized for 10 days, at least, and
there are fears that they may not be
any better at the end of that time than
they are at present.

At the lower end of Sixth street the
reviewing stand had been erected, and
when Commander.in.C Chief Walker Ar.
rived there he left the line and took his
place on the stand, where he returned
the salutes of the old veterans as they
passed by and were dismissed on the
adjoining streets.

AN ANIMATEDMAeHINE,
What Was Developed in Most In
teresting Conversation With
Great aud Honest
Scientific Man.

1.-The most remarkable machine in
the world is the human body"
He was professor in New York
medical college who declared this to
a number of friends at the club.
Continuing he said:
Take for example, the heart.
Did you ever stop to think that it
works every minute of the life and
never has a vacation or rcst?"
''And then there are the Kidneys,
which have been truly called the
filter of the body They separate
every particle of liquid that passes
from the body. except that which
oozes through the pores"
did it ever occur to YOU that this
machine might wear out from over
work. Over-taXatiUn, over-exertion?
And so 1t does in too many cases"
"For more than five hundred wears
the world and the medical profess
sion CROPPED in the dark for remedy
to sustain the Kidneys, or cure them
if they had become weakened or dis
eased, and it was only within the
past twenty years that any remedy
was found. DR.. Bright discovered
the disease known as Bright's dis
ease. but he could not and did not
find remedy. 1t remained for
modern research to discover this
remedy. We know it was a long
search, but at last it was found, and
that remedy today, which was ac-
knowledged as the only remedy for
kidney troubles, the weaknesses of
women and BriSht's disease itself, is
Warmers Safe Cure. which is admit
ted by professional and scientific
men throughout the entire world to
be the great modern discovery, and
the only one for these troubles"
This remedy is not an expert
ment. 1t has been used for over
twenty years in all parts of the
world, and there are more than a
million persons in the universe today
whose lives have been saved, or who
have been benefited by it's use. 1t

LEACER OF THE CUeANs DYING.
Gomez Reported Fatally Ill and Harasse,
bay and Night by the Spaniartls.


HAVANA, Jan. 25.-If the reports at
hand here are to be believed the rebel lead
err Gomez is in bad straits. He is said to
be i'll with fever and also nearly dead
with consumption, his doctors giving
him but two months to live. Besides, ac-
cording to the reports from the front, he
is being sharply pushed by the Spanish
troops and is getting little or no rest now,
day or night The effect is that his move
ments can now be marked by trail of
tired out or lame horses which the insur.
gents leave behind them. The opinion is
expressed here that the insurgents are
in desperate straits, and that for Go
mez everything now depends upon the
safe arrival to his aid of Maceo and Rabi.
Reports continue to be received of small
engagements with the insurgents in all
directions, indicating that they are no
longer united in u main body, but are
broken up into small parties. The author
tiles now have to face serious problem
here The prices of all kinds of provisions
are going up rapidly every day. In spite
of this people are fiocking into Havana
from the country districts and other pro-
vinces, and in many cases the refugees are
people who have lost almost everything
they possess.

As Responsible for the Atrocities of the
Turk i'm Armenia.
Frye spoke of Great Britain's course with
bitter sarcasm. Great Britain had been
the stcadfast enemy of the United States
Great Britain had harmed the United
States at every opportunity. Great Brit
ain had for years tainted the United
States for Stacking the slaves, and yet
when the north struck off the shackles
Great Britain did everything to help the
Confederacy to destroy the United States
government for no reason but to have the
Confederacy as her customer. Great Brit
ain had never shown the slightest friend
ship for the United States. And now
Great Britain had stood idly by when she
had the power to stop these barbarities.
Frye proceeded with much vigor and
earnestness 10 sag that if necessary in Or
der to protect American citizens he would
order the American ships to sail up the
Dardancllcs regardless of the European
alliance, and when in front of CONSTANT
nople demand the protection of our people
within the sultan's dominions. He de-
clared that there was one quality of the
English government which he admired.
England, he said. protects her citizens at
all times and under all circumstances.
Frye proceeded to show that the United
States was strong enough and quite as
willing as England to protect its
citizens whose lives and property were
imperilled ABROAD. All he asked he said,
was that We should make her our model
in this one respect, and then American
citizens would be safe in Turkey or else
where.
Call followed. commencing the utter
ances of Frye. He contended for n stronger
expression, and urged that we should fight
our battles abb cad when display OF our
force was needed. and not in the senate.
AS an earnest of his views Call offered
an amendment to the Armenian resolu.
ton to the effect that humanity and re-
ligion and the principles o. which all
civilization rests demand that civilized
governments shall by peaceful negotia-
tons, of in necessary by force Of arms,
prevent and suppress the cruelties and
massacres inflicted on the Armenian sub.
jects of Turkey by the establishment of a
government of their OWN people with such
guarantees Of the civilized powers of its
authority and permancnce as shall be ade.
quate TO that end"
Hoar spoke briefly on the necessity Of
moderation and urged that extreme utter.
ances on the part of congress be deferred
until rhe arts of diplomacy should be ex.
hausted, in view OF the danger that the
missionaries in Turkey were in, and also
in view Of the fact that Miss Clara Barton,
with the Red Cross in her hand, was now
on her way to Armenia Calls motion
was laid on the table and the original
resolutions were then agreed to with out
