''During 1896 there were cared for in
the national homes 1885 veterans, be.
sides many more in state homes. Much
satisfaction is afforded by the thought
that the last days of many thousands of
the old veterans have been, are being,
and will continue to be made comfort
able and comparatively happy, and free
from the trials and struggles of the out.
side world, with which they are by age
and infirmity unable to contend. The
good thus accomplished by magnani.

The observation of Memorial day, the
work of the Woman's Relief Corps and
OF the Sons of Veterans, the preferment
OF veterans in public service and the
matter of liberal pensions were also
briefly touched upon.

working for low wages on summer
scale. Operators are trying to combine
prices for coal in order to accede to their
demands.

possible at the time of their state en-
campments. He especially referred to
his cordial reception in the South. The
dedication of the Grant tomb and the
Lincoln statue were referred to in ap.
propriate terms. *t...
Speaking of the future of the order
General Clarkson says:
1.-The beginning of the end is in
sight, the day of smaller things is upon
us. We are far past the meridian in.
dividually, and as an order, the stream
is running down the hill. Age and
poverty are making great inroads into
the ranks. Suspensions are numerous,
charters are being surrendered. The
hearts are in the right place, but the in.
evitable is before US. What shall we
do? Stand shoulder to shoulder until
the last file is closed. Recruit the ranks
until every honorable discharge is re-
corded in the descriptive book. and
every suspended comrade is again
touching elbow with his fellows. Els.
tablish picket posts along the whole
line, cheer up the weakening, encourage
the thoughtless. Stand by your com.
rades though all the world assail.
''Owing to the steady decrease in the
membership and the very small burden
imposed by the national per capita Of
216 cents, I believe that the best inter-
ests OF the order would be snhserved by
an increase Of pne-half cent in the per
capita, making Il 8 cents per annum.

ACTION IS DELAYED.

Operators Not Unanimous In Regard to
the Opening of Their Mines.
P1TTsBURG, Aug. 27.-Operators of
the Pittsburg district have made de-
cided change in front. Internal dissen.
sions, mixed with fear on the part of
some, caused split in their forces and
change of base. On its face the move
looked to many like temporary sur.
render to the United Mine Workers of
America. This, however, is denied in
most emphatic terms by the most prom
inent lake shippers who say they are
going to start their men and supply
the demand rom the Northwest and
not stand idly by and let large volume
of business 60 to operators of other
states. They publicly state that they
are willing to wait for week or 10
days before decided move is made.
They claim that this will give them
ample time 10 get the lake trade. When
the operators met in the morning there
were many who
Had Not Signed the Agreement
to share their portion toward the ex.
pense that might accrue in the effort to
start the mines, and they were the
loudest in the appeals to hold aloof to
await developments. A motion to dis
charge all committees and adjourn sine
die was made and prevailed. This &C.
ton, according to statement issued by
their press committee, puts affairs into
the hands of a committee appointed
under an agreement which was entered
into at Cleveland. This committee is
vested with discretionary power to act.
The press committee refused to divulge
the names of the committeeman.
j. B. S. Zerbe, who presided at the
meeting, was emphatic in asserting that
the operators who had originally gone
into the compact at Cleveland to break
the strike had not changed their inten.
