FIRST DAY AT BUFFALO.
Biggest Encampment Ever Held BY
the G.. A. r.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 25.-F'rom dawn
to darkness and from twilight to mid
night yesterday the gathering of the
Grand Army of the Republic waxed
greater and grander. The Grand Ar
my has turned out in greater numbers
than ever before at a national encamp-
ment, and this is true also of the ex-
prisoners of war association and the
naval veterans and woman's auxiliary
bodies.
From early morning until late at
night, Main street held a continuous
professions of posts. Scores of them
brought bands, and few, indeed, had
no music.
The features of the day were the ar
rival of President Mckinley, accompa-
MED by Secretary Alger and Governor
Black of New York, the banquet to
the president in the evening and the
parade of the naval veterans and ex-
prisoners of war. During the day there
were more than 80 corps, brigades, regi
mental and company reunions. The
naval veterans, ex-prisoners of war,
Ladies of the G. A. r. and the associa-
tion of nurses held their conventions
and there were many receptions given
by and to the ladies of the auxiliary
associations.
A trip on the lake, participated in by
about 1000 ladies, was one of the pleas
antest of the many entertainments. In
the evening there were a number of
camp fires for the men and receptions
and miscellaneous entertainments for
the ladies'

The committee on resolutions report
ed against the removal of gold stripes
from the uniform of the naval Veter-
ans.
A resolution approving the project to
establish a sanitarium on Castle
Pinckney island in Charleston, S. c.,
harbor was unanimously adopted.
A fight arose over the report of the
committee ON the revision of the con-
stitution which proposed to amend the
constitution regarding classes and
which consists of sons, grandsons and
might be expelled from the National
association. A lengthy and somewhat
animated discussion ended in tabling
the report.

Among the prominent arrivals yester-
day were Gen. Lew Wallace and former
Commander-in-c chief Thomas Lawter.

KITETWO MILES HIGH.
Weather Bureau Will Make Practical
Use of the New Science in Its W ork.

Use of the New Science in Its w Ork.
New York, Aug. 25.-The weather bu-
reau at Washington is now pretty near
ly ready to make practical applica ton
of the knowledge it has recently gained
respecting kite flying. This kind of
aeronautics having been developed into
a full-blown science, it remains to be
shown what may be done with it for
meteorological purposes.
The new-fanglede cellular kites have
already been raised to a height of over
mile and half at the experimenting
grounds near Washington, with piano
crank for hauling in and letting out the
box-shaped flyers of stick and muslin.
Very soon it is expected that an eleva-
ton of two miles will be attained. In
short, every thing is now known that is
essential for the contemplated service,
and there will be no further delay in
establishing the system Of kite observ-
ing stations which Chief Moore has
been planning.
About six months will be required for
establishing this system of stations,
which will number thirty, perhaps.
They will be scattered all over the
United States, elevated locations being
chosen wherever obtaina BILE, and each
of firSt-rate kites. The plan is very
simple-namely, that kites shall be
flown from all the stations simultane-
ously, each flyer, or tandem of flyers,
carrying instruments, including baron1-
eters, thermometers, hygrometers, etc.
The instruments will register automati-
cally the observations as to moisture,
temperature and wind velocity, and so
forth, which they record.

ENGLAND'S GREAT STRIKE.
The Trouble With the Engineering
Trade is Now More Serious
Than Ever.

London, Aug. 25.-The great strike
and lockout in the engineering trade is
difficulty is more serious than ever.
Each side daily is becoming more reso-
lutte and more bitter. The number of
the operatives who have achieved their
purpose, owing to the smaller employers
yielding to their demands, is inSignifi-
cant compared with the growing aggre-
gate of the unemployed.
Many of the workers in the allied
trades have already been rendered idle
by the strike, and the conflict is rap
idly approaching the stage when the
dependent industries will be at a COM
Grafton is showing a disposition to join
the Employers Federation. The lat
ter asserts that its recent and promised
adhesions will render it impregnable.
The strikers profess to have gained a
great number of non-unioniSts, and to
pecuniary assistance from Germany,
the United States and the colonies.
They also claim that, owing to seces-
sions from the Employers Federation
in London. five-sevenths of the engin
GERS in this city are now working eight
hours per day.
Mea anwhile they admit that the strike
is costing the Amalgamated association
eli 900 weekly, One-ha1f of which is
met by a special levy. The newspa pers
are beginning to urge the board of
trade to use it's powers under the con-
ella ton act and declare that there was
never a more obvious occasion for arbi-
tration.
1t is said that the Co-opera tive Whole
Sa1ers' society, regarding the issue of
the strike as vital to the interests of
trades unionisn, is prepared to advance
gineers &1,000,000 if it should be need

S1O,OOO,OOO- FORECLOSURE.
Property of the Oregon Improvement
Company to Go Under the
Hammer

San Francisco. Aug. 25.-In the Uni
ted States circuit court Judge Morrow
ordered a decree of foreclosure and
sale as prayed for in the case of the
Farmers Loan and Trust company as
trustees, against the Oregon Improve
ment company, which has been in the
hands of a receiver for some time past.
The sale, which will be made in Seat
tie by Eben Saith, the special commis-
sioner appointed for the purpose, is to
be made in order to satisfy the two
liens secured by mortgages, the first
of which was executed on May /. 1880,
and the other on November 1, 1889. The
amounts involved aggregate $40, ,656, 600
without interest, which has not been
paid in full on either obligation. The
first mortgage is held to be a prior lien
on all of the property of the company
at the time of the execution of the in
strument, while the second covers all
the property of the corporation.

GOLD COINS IN THE RIVER.
Somewhere in the Kansas River is
Buried $5, 900 in Gold.

Postmaster A. ]. Arnold, who in
spected the old rudder found under the
island of the Kansas river yesterday,
set the workmen wild with a story of a
lost treasure.
.'That is all right" said Capt Arnold
as he closely inspected the old rudder,
t'and I presume it is a good thing to
place in the state historical society,
but it is not worth a great deal. These
men may find something, however,
that will make it worth their while.
''Old Joe Pappan was one of the very
first settlers in this part of the country.
He lived some where west of the city
on the bank of the Kansas river. One
time during high water his house and
everything in it was washed away In
the house was an iron box or safe con-
tanning $1,000 in gold. The safe and
money went down the river and he new
er found either the box or the money.
The old man told me a dozen times
about his loss and I have no doubt
whatever about the truth, of the story.
The money was lost in the Kansas riv-
er and 1t may be that these men will
vet dig it uD.'

of the greater city is something which
troubles the most expert to start going
smoothly.
All manner of conventions must be
held. Beside the city conventions, there
are five borough conventions, about TWEEN
ty-five district conventions, sixty assem-
bly, conventions, five county conventions.
In addition there are judicial conventions
in two sections of the city, for the greater
municipality lies in two judicial districts.
There are the usual number of parties,
Republicans. Democrats, Prohibitionists,
Socialist Labor, National Democrats.
Populists and factions of both the greater
parties. It has been estimated that the
grand total of all the delegates to these
gatherings, to be chosen at primaries,
will be not less than 10000. 1t is hard to
line up the strength of the parties in a
way to give satisfactory predictions.
In the greater city Mckinley had 2s3, ,I19
votes and Bryan 225e13; Palmer, ss65;
Matchett (Socialtstic Labor. 14,179: and
Levering 1873, a total of 534 254 votes
How far from normal this vote was can
not be shown, except by a series of COM
parisons. In 1892 the territory now in
Greater New York gave Cleveland 294, ,679;
Harrison, 1S1, ,S13.
In 1894, when Morton ran against Hill
and the anti-machine Democrats put up
Everett P. Wheeler, the Greater New
York vote was approximately 224,0O0 for
the Republican candidates, 209,000 for the
regular Democrats, and $4,000 for the iE-
dependent Democrat. This was the year
Tammany was defeated by vote of 154,-
0s4 for Strong to ,907 for Grant for
mayor.
In 1895 the vote on state officers in
Greater New York was: Republican, 1885,
600: Democratic, $4,000. So it appears
that the vote cannot be held to any very
strict party lines.
Tammany and the regular Democrats in
the other counties will line up together
to make the rush for spoils this year.
There will be some factional trouble over
the Endorsement of the Chicago platform.
and unless there's a fiat declaration for it
a separate Bryan faction may come to
light. The Republicans are mixed up in
Brooklyn because some of the old leaders
want to indorse Seth Low as an inde-
pendent candidate before the regular Re-
publican convention is held. Mr.. Low has
been brought forward by the Citizens un-
ion, an organization which processes to
want nothing except the mayor, who
owes nothing in the shape of allegiance
to either party. They propose now to
nominate Seth Low at all hazards, they
as to think they can worry Mr.. Platt and
the regulars that follow him by doing it.
The earliest conventions will be held in
September, and then there will be a
struggle worth going miles to witness.

POOL ROOMS REOPEN.
Efforts to Keep Them Closed in Kan
sas City Failure.

Kansas City. Mo-, Aug. 25.-Thomas
Carey. one of the proprietors of the
derby pool room which was raided by
the police last week, was tried before
Justice Kruger yesterday for main
tanning public nuisance, and was dis
charged.
As a result of the decision, the three
pool rooms which have been closed
since the raid, will be reopened for
business.
Justice Kruger discharged Carey
Immediately after the lawyers finished
their arguments, holding that as long
as the city licensed pool rooms, they
could not be classed as nuisances
If any attempt is made by the police
to raid the pool rooms again the pro-
prietors will probably apply for an in
junction, restraining such action.

Then there are sixty-three city mar
shals, a civil service board of three, six
commissioners of statistics, sealers of
weights and measures, two commission
ers of accounts, and a long list of other
places with salaries of from 81, 600 to S., Co.,
The minor places, such as clerkshfps,
deputies and assistants, like sands

Vast funds are also to be handled by
the city officials More than $50, ,000, 900 in
bonds for public improvements were au-
thorized by the last legislature, of which
Sc, GOO 600 is for the dock department, $12.-

New York City, about 81. .000. 900 is for park
improvements, and 81. 100000 or 5000. coo for
public buildings.
In addition to the offices which go to
make up the administrative force of the
enlarged city there are the county Off
GERS. When the charter was adopted the
county lines were not obliterated. There
are parts of five counties within the new
city limits, New York. Kings, Queens,
Richmond and westchester. All of these
have elections this year of sheriffs,
clerks, registers. coroners, and the like
This complicates the situation, and adds
to the interest and intensity of the fight.
County tickets are to be made up, it
appears, with considerable reference to
the ticket of the greater city. Some of
the hitherto county leaders are shaking
for fear they may lose their control in
the county, while in the nature of things
they can be but assistants in the manage
ment of the politics of the greater city.
Such veterans as Hugh Mclaughlin of
Kings, who used to carry the Democratic
organization in his vest pocket; Jacob
Worth, who performed like service for
the Republicans, are not quite sure where
they will come in after the new tickets
have been made up. So part of their
fight is to hold their counties, and it is a
great opportunity for those who are dis
posed to trade. The political machinery

 An Atchison, Kan., man thus writes to local paper, withdrawing from society and leaving it to shift for itself: When I have been out late at night, attending a social function, l suffer so much with cake headache the next day that am the meanest man in town, and often wonder that some one does not beat me tO death. 1 am unfair, quarrel some, and contemptible in every way, and do not blame people wko hate me.

Ben Hendricks as 'Ole Olson" was all that could be desired in that notable portrayal of quaint Swedish charac- ter, while Miss St. George Hussey, as "Mrs. Bridget O'Flannigan," was a whole show of herself. Her ap- pearance was ever signal for ap- plause and her Irish brogue with actions to match kept the audience in roar. The support was excel lent throughout the play.
