New York, Sept. 5.-A special dispatch
to the Recorder from Jacksonville, Fla,
says: The activity of the Spaniards in
strengthening the Notifications at
Havana and other coast cities is due, it
is said, to fear of war with the United
States. Col. Ordonez, the chief engi-
neer of the Spanish army, has arrived
at Havana from Madrid, and is superin-
tending the work. Capt. Gen. Weyler
is reported to have said that he wants
the Notifications rendered as nearly
impregnable as possible, as he is con-
vinced that Spain will have trouble
with the United States soon after Presi-
dent Cleveland vacates the white house.

The richest people in the world are
about to make an important change in
their condition. They live in the ter
ritory of Oklahoma, and are known as
the Usage Indians. Every man, wo-

money from the United States treasury
four times a year. Each grown person
or infant owns 1000 acres of fine land.
However, the lands belonging to the

done, and result will be the OPEN

almost to perfection. A large circular

Thirtieth National Enoampment In
ST. Paul Of the q. A. r.
Report Of tho Commander In Chief and
Other Omcials - Maj. Clarkson,
Of Omaha, Chosen a. the
New Commander.

St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 4. Officially
the thirtieth national encampment Of
the G. A. r. opened Thursday morning
in the Auditorium before an immense
audience of grand army men and cisi-
zens generally from far and near.
After the exercises all but grand
army men were requested to leave the
hall and the encampment went into ex-
ecutive session. The first business done
was to hear the report of the command
er-in-chief.
With reference to the progress of the
order. he said:
1.-THE total membership Of the Grand
Army of the Republic is 1856, 4o6, Of which
34o.G10 are In good standing and 42,511 are
carried on the suspended list for non-pay-
ment Of dues. decrease in this list during
the past year of 1859. The gain by muster
during the year was 1s.467. In this re-
capitulation, the department of Pennsyl~
vania shows loss of $3.50 members that
have been enormously carried on the rolls
last report. The total loss during the year
was 1l,4O6, Of which number 1898 was
by death, which Is a decrease Of Is from
last year.
The report Of the quartermaster general
and that there has been a reduction in
expenses aside from that paid out by or
der Of the encampment in fitting up rooms
for our archives and custodi1n's salary
and in prosecuting the Long pension case. :"
Buffalo will entertain tho Grand Army
of the republic next year. It did not
take the national encampment long to
settle that question, which has in other
years provoked lively contest. Den.
yer, the only other city which WAS pre-
scented, was withdrawn before ballot
was taken and was never seriously re.
garded as a competitor for the honor.
So the vote was made unanimous.
At the afternoon session the report cf
the pension committee was presented
and referred to committee to report
on it's recommendations. The report
referred to the act passed in 1894 pro
viding that pensions should not be with
held until after judicial hearing by
the commissioner of pensions. and
added:
1.-THE administration Of the pension bu-
reau has been continued as though the pro-
vision referred to was but waste paper
and the feeling of uncertainty and DOUBT
has been but slightly If to any extent al
layed. It is in vain that wise, just and
patriotic laws be passed If they are to be
administered with an evil eye and an un-
equal hand. We recommend that this
encampment speak clearly and dis
tinctly 80 that its meaning cannot be mis-
understood by anyone urging upon the SEN
ate the necessity for the prompt passage or
the bill in all its essential features as

attempts to stir up class against class, and
incite employe against employer. The
claims made in behalf Of free coinage were
analysed and the injury he claimed 1t would
do to all classes was portrayed forcibly.
When Mr.. Flower, in his speech, alluded
in a complimentary manner to Mr.. Cleve-
land there was an outburst of applause from
the convention, all the members rising,
cheering and waving hats and fans.
After the announcement of various COM
mittees a recess was taken until four p.
m. Upon reassembling, the report of the
committee on credentials was read and
adopted. A short but stirring address was
made by DR.. Everett, Of Massachusetts.
whose statement: I'VE stand by President
Cleveland" caused the audience to rise in
body and make demonstration more
vigorous than had yet been witnessed.
Gallery for Permanent Chairman.
The committee on permanent organiza-
ton recommended Secretary Donelson
Caffery, of Louisiana, as permanent chair
man. and Mr.. J. r. Wilson, of Indiana, for
permanent secretary. and further recon-
mended the establishment Of permanent
national organization. The report was
adopted without a dissenting voice.
Senator Caffery was escorted to the chair
by Mr.. Bullitt, Of Pennsylvania, and Mr..
LAWYER, of Minnesota, and spoke at con-
siderable length, his remarks being deliv-
cred with much force ana el1ctlng contln-
ued cheering.
Senator Caffery said this convention
would purify the desecrated affairs OF
democracy and rebuild its broken shrine.
Referring to the Chicago platform, he said
It was "a form without the substance OF
democracy, and no democrat is bound by
it, nor is it entitled to his fealty. The dec
larations of that platform are open, pal
pable and fragrant departures from all
that democracy has stood for. They are
an assault upon the constitution, the time
honored principles of the democratic party,
and the distinguished patriot and states
man who has twice led 1t to the only vic
tories it has achieved in 36 years.
I'VE hold that no argument is needed to
show the revolutionary and anarchistic
cannot be enforced in q state to protect
property which is in the jurisdiction of fed
eral courts, or to protect the United States
mails, or that the supreme court ought 10
be reorganized, or that the national honor
should be stained, or the national faith
violated, or that the freedom Of private
contract ought to be limited, or that the
function of issuing paper money ought to
be exclusively exercised by the federal
government.
1--WE are tho propagandists Of no new
creed. We are the upholders Of the old.
With an abiding faith in the INTELLIGENCE
and honesty Of our people we lay before
them and the world the reasons that
prompt us to unfurl the old flag that has
f1oated over many triumph and many q
defeat, and never yet been soiled by re-
pudiation or stained by dishonor.''
The committee on platform not being
ready to report, the convention at $50 ad.
5ourned until Thursday at II a. m.
