CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 23.-Great
crowds of visitors were attracted to the
Knights of Pythias encampment today.
1t being estimated that $4,000 spectators
witnessed the dress parade for the sec
ond Ohio regiment this afternoon. This
is the only full regiment yet in camp,
but 1t is expected that all the Ohio
Knights will be here by tomorrow.
Among the divisions which arrived to-
day were those from Pittsburg. Alle-
cheney and Lancaster, Pa, and Muncie.
Ind, and the first battalion of the first
regiment from Charleston and Parkers-
burg, w. Va.
Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock, Di-
rector General Day Of the centennial
committee will formally turn over the
camp to Major General Carnahan. The
exercises at the camp this afternoon

concert. This evening many Of the
visiting knights attended services at the
Epworth Memorial M. E. church and lis
tened to an appropriate sermon by the
pastor.
Among the attractions at the camp is

rank. which has won more prizes than
any other division in the country, even
though 1t has not competed in prize
drills in eight years. There is also pres
ent the crack division from Hastings,
Mich, both of these divisions will be in
the parade and competitive drill.
Major General Carnahan, in speaking
today of the knights as military or
ganization, said it was part Of the writ
ten law of the order that the knights
should respond to the call of the govern
ment in time of war, especially If 1t was
necessary to repel invasion by foreign
foe. The knights were not in any sense
guardsmen, he said, and they would not
take part in internal dissensions unless
1t was necessary to preserve order and
uphold the laws.
Supreme Chancellor Ritchie, in speak
ing today of the policy Of the order, said
there would probably be no change.
THE same lessons that 1t teaches men
today" he said, Twill be good for many
thousand years hence No great ques-
ton of policy will be debated at the
present session of the supreme lodge.
The German question and the saloon
question were finally settled and in a
definite, decided and plain manner"
The Rathbone Sisters. one Of the aux
iliary orders Of Pythianism, has its
headquarters at the Weddell house. The
most important business to come before
it's meeting is the election of supreme
senior. The leading candidates for the
place are Mrs. ]. B. S. Neubert of Kan
Michigan, and some lively electioneer-
ing in their behalf is already going on.
It is expected that the headquarters of
all the other auxiliary societies will be
opened before tomorrow night.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 23.-Sixteen
men who were wearing the uniform
of the Kansas City police department
are today attired in citizens garb Thir-
teen patrolmen and three sergeants were
dismissed by the board of police commits
sioners last night as a result of the
fight that has been waged for some
time by the Republican and Democratic
factions in the city government. The
Republican majority in the city council
having refused to appropriate the money
to pay the expenses Of the police de-
partment for June and July, alleging
that the department was being MAIN
tanned at an expense in excess of an
nual appropriation Of S150, 900, the DEM
ocratic majority of the board of police
commissioners retaliated last night by
taking the heads off sufficient number
of Republican policemen to reduce the
expenses of the department as they
expressed it, $50 that for the balance q
the year the expenses shall be such as
to bring the expenses of the whole year
within the $15O.00O appropriated by the
city council"
The resolutions Of dismissal also re-
cite, however, that the sixteen Republl-
cans "are not proper persons to dis
charge the duties of police officers"
They are accused of having devoted
most of their time in politics.

IN THE RING
rlatch Proposed Between Fitzsimmons and
Sailor Sharkey

SAN RANCISCO, Aug. 23.-There Is
possibility that San Francisco will
be the scene of another great four-round
larger throng OF spectators than the Cor
ettSharkey meeting.
Fitzsimmons has just issued a pro-
nunciamento against Sharkey, whom he
warrants to stop in four rounds. Both
pugilists are at present in New York,
and arrangements will be made in that
city If certain obligations which hang
over Sharl1ey may be removed.
Dan Lynch, tn financial hacker of
Sharky, telegraphed ]. D. Gibbs of the
National Athletic club that match be-
tween Fitzsimmons and Sharkey might
possibly be arranged. J. ID. Gibbs ans
wered Immediately offering terms which
he thinks will prove acceptable to the
pugilists. Lynch favors San Francisco,
and Gibbs, relying upon the persuasive
powers of Sharkey's hacker, is of the
opinion that the fight. if it can be ar
ranged at all, will come to this city.
The great obstacle in the way of the
fight is the clause in the agreemtnts
which wree signed by Corbett and Shar-
key in San Francisco relevant to the fin
ish match between those fighters, BY
it Sharkey agreed not to fight or engage
in any other than boxing exhibitions
previous to his meeting with Corbett.
Sporting men, however, are of the opin-
ion that Sharkey AID Corbett will never
meet. The National club is the only one
which has proposed to give purse for
the fight, though the agreements were
signed over two months ago. Corbett
will be broached on the matter, and
awaiting his action, the promoters of the
fight will do all they can to bring the
fight to this coast

BOSTON, Aug. 23.-Hon. Mark Han
ma, chairman of the Republican nation
al committee, arrived in Boston at an
early hour this morning and Immediate
ly started for Beverly farms, where he
was the guest of his brother-in-l law,
]. H. Rhodes. Tomorrow he comes to
Boston and will visit the Republican
state headquarters. To a reporter Mr.
Hanna talked about the campaign, in
quired about the work in Massachusetts,
and was very much interested in the
facts given him. He said:
"As matter Of fact, the campaign
has started itself. The real work does
not commence until the 1st of Septem-
Der. President Harrison's speech in
Madison-square Garden will be a not
able one, and the speech of Hon.

magnificent effort"
Concerning the outlook in New York
Mr.. Hanna said that he was we'll salts
fed with the factional disputes there,
for he recognized the fact that in all
great cities and in all great parties fac
tions are a matter of course. Mr.. Han
ma thinks that the vote Of Vermont will
be a better register of public opinion
at this time than that of Maine. He
does not look for more than the usual
Republican majority in the latter state.
but from Vermont he has received infor-
nation that leads him to believe that

this the letter he writes is regarded as
equivalent to an announcement of his
willingness to accept. He expresses re-
gret that he cannot address them, and
concludes: 1T is a strange thing that
any farmer or other citizen of the state
of Iowa (Which has neither silver mines
nor gold bullion). who buy money with
cereals and meats, should insist on be-
ing paid always only sixteen ounces of
silver instead of one ounce of gold When
they collect their dues from those who
have purchased their products, why are
they unwilling to accept thirty-two
ounces of silver instead of sixteen for
an ounce of gold. Dealers in bullion will
only give one ounce of gold for thirty or
thirty-one ounces of silver.
