OF Commander-in-C Chief Clarkson's staff;
]. s. Lewis, past junior vice commander,
and Daniel Ross, of Wilmington, Del,
candidate for junior vice commander In
chief Camp Jewett, us the city Of tents
is known, Is all ready for Its inhabitants
and while 1t will not be formally opened
until o'clock tomorrow afternoon, q
number Of posts are already installed.
Ample arrangements have been made
at the camp and elsewhere for the care of
the sick. Three hospital tents have been
erected at Camp Jewett, each in charge
OF competent stan of physicians.
The honor of flying the first pennant
from any tent at Camp 1ewett belongs to

Colonel wlnans, OF COMMANDMENT
Chief Clarkson's staff, estimates the
number Of visitors to Buffalo during the
week at 100000, making the largest en-
campment ever held. In speaking OF the
chmce Of the veterans for the next en-
campment. Colonel Winnns said that so
far as his information went. there was
but one choice among the delegates and
that was Cincinnati. There seems TO be
n feeling, he said, among some OF the
eastern people that San Francisco wants
the encampment, but that is u mistake.
San Francisco is preparing to make
bid In 1889.
With regard to the encampment being
held in Richmond, Va, he asserted there
IL nothing In It. The people down there
do not want II. and the veterans do not
care to so there. The chief objection. he
said, was the certainty of unpleasant
complications over the color line. Not
wIthstandlng this view the young mems
business association Of Richmond, has
opened headquarters here and Is making
an effort to secure the encampment.
Colonel Wlnans says Pennsylvania
will send the most people TO the encamp-
ment with New York second and Ohio
third in attendance.

With View to Using Petroleum a. FHsI
for Naval Vessels.


for Naval Vessels.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 22,-The
secretary OF the navy has ordered Lieu
tenant Nathan Sargent to proceed at
once to tho oil fields of Pennsylvania.
where he will make careful lnvestiga-
ton OF the various grades of petroleum
produced In that region with view TO
It's use as fuel for marine engines, Upon
the conclusion OF this work he will re-
port TO the authorities in charge OF the
Newport torpedo station and plans will
be drawn up for an oil engine which
will be placed In one of the new torpedo
boats now lying built by the Hershoffs.
This will be the first attempt to use
petroleum as fuel for the torpedo feet.
but from the success that has been at
tained with this motive force In swift
steam launches owned by private par.
ties both here and abroad, the navy de-
partment looks very favorably on the
experiment. Some OF the advantages
expected from the new fuel are econ
omy OF machine space and consequently
greater fuel carrying capacity economy
in the cost OF fuel, and the ability 10
develop extremely high steam pressure
under forced draught. The plans for the
new engine are not yet laid and will de-
pend largely on the report on the var
ious grades OF petroleum at command.
II is possible that with this innovation
in fuel will be combined the use of the
steam turbine engine, whose success In
the English torpedo boat Turbina has
marked decided epoch in the Develop
ment of these fleet footed destroyers

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 22,-Develop-

pittsburgh district will be watched with
unusual interest this week. Both sides
were apparently at rest to-day, but 1t
was developed that at the conference to-
morrow there will probably be dlsrup-
ZION. By many it Is believed that NJ. D.
Ratchford, the national president OF the
miners organization. will not be present.
II Is claimed that he will stick to his
original assertion. that he will not agree

are represented.
II ia a well known fact that the opera
TORS Of other states will not Join the local
operators in the movement for arbitra-
zion II Ratchford ts obdurate the con-
ference will be useless. This, in brief, IS
the situation, and II Is apparent that
both sides are making preparations for
movements that will be to their benefit.
From q reliable source 1t was learned
that II the operators start mines on the
lines laid down, other mines VIII also be
started by the miners IL ID proposed 10
select operators who are not represented
at the conference, and who are friendly
u the miners. They will be given per-
mission to mine coal at the rate demand
cd, and the coal stored. BY this means II
is expected to get fund from the union
miners that happen to be working and
with this fund, pay the expenses OF n
fight against imported labor. The
miners officials are making arrange
mants to have fund on hand to send
foreign labor home Just as fast as II ar
rives. With mines operated under the
Jurisdiction Of the labor leaders, and
with operators that are friendly,who will
reap profit, they hope to have an avail

This plan has been outlined and viii be
