NEXT ENCAMPMENT
Will Be Held in Cincinnati-The Vote Vast
Cincinnati $40, San Francisco ga.

Cincinnati 526, San Francisco 2I4.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 27.-The strug-
gle for the next convention and COM
mander-in-chief is now on. New York
will vote almost solidly for San Fran
cisco in 1898 and for Isaac f. Mack, of
Sandusl1y, for commandments. Col
Mack has a good lead, but Cincinnati
is as strong, apparently, as he is, and
the clash may prove fatal to one or
both.
The encampment was formally
opened by speeches of welcome by
state and municipal officers, appropri-
ate responses being made by officers
of the G. A. r. Gov. Black opened
the speechmaling with felicitous adj
dress bidding the distinguished guests
welcome to the Empire state. A cor
dial welcome to the city of Buffalo was
extended by Mayor Jewett. Gen. A. D.
Shaw babe the comrades welcome on
behalf of the department of New York,
and President August f. Scheu, of the
citizens committee, acted as spokes-
man of that organization.
Cincinnati has been selected for hold
ing the next encampment. The vote
(unofficiaD was: Cincinnati 526, San
Francisco pa.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 27.-The presi-
dent of the United States was refused
admission to the Grand Army camp
Thursday morning, although he had
come at the special invitation of the
veterans and everything was in readi-
ness to receive him.
The incident proved one of great
modification to the Grand Army lead
ers and excited Indignation among the
members of the local committee To
the president at first it was a trifIe
annoying but a few minutes after the
episode he was having a hearty laugh
over it and excusing the official who
refused him entry, by saying that the
man was perfectly right to obey orders,
no matter who demanded admission.
The reason for the refusal was that
the sentry had been ordered to admit
no carriage to the camp.
When nominations for commander
in-chief were declared in order Isaac
f. Mack, of Sanduslzy, O., was nomi.
mated by Delegate Brown, of Ohio; j.
2. S. Goblin, of Lebanon, was nominal.
ed by Delegate Stewart, of Pennsyl.
vania; George Fl. Innis, of Boston, by
Delegate Wetherbee, of Massachusetts,,
and John G. Linehan, of New Hamp-
shire, by Delegate Cogswel, of New
Hampshire.
Mr.. Wetherbee later withdrew the
name of Mr.. Innis. The first ballot
resulted: Mack, 253; Linehan, 1S1;
Goblin, 296, no choice.
The vote on the second ballot was
never announced officially but as cast
it stood: Goblin, 35S; Mack, 249; Linehan,
123. Before the result could be an
nOunced by the tellers the ten Mis-
souri, votes that had been cast for Mack
were withdrawn and ordered changed
to Goblin, who had received the other IL
of the % votes belonging to the state.
This gave Goblin SOS votes and enough
to elect. Illinois and other states be-
gan to order their votes changed, but
while this was in progress r. B. Brown
of Ohio who nominated Mack, asked
unanimous consent that the adiutant
general be instructed to cast the vote
of the encampment for Mr. Goblin,
making his election unanimous. The
encampment then adjourned until
o'clock Friday morning.

A New Denarture.

''I know it is unprecedented, my dear,"

thing it is you propose. have never been

to matters that they naturally expect from

"They no longer attract attention" said
the minister. THE people now demand

Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian
Premier, and Sir Louis Davies, Fish
cries Minister, came down to Washing
ton to negotiate a reciprocity treaty
They did not succeed and left for home
after a friitless week 50 far as the
interests OF Canada are concerned.
When Sir V. Hired lbecame convinced
that the United States was in no mood
to graut Canada substantial CONNER
cial concessions through reciprocal
tariff arrangements until Canadians
stopped their willfnl destruction of
our seals, he fell back on the never
falling British scheme Of a general ar
oitration tribunal.
This last resort was abortive. Sec
rotary Sherman told him frankly that
the United States would not cross any
bridges until we came to them; that
Congress would never consent to such
drag net schemes; that the President
did not want 10 resurrect tariff SQUAD
bes, and that our sealing rights must
be respected before we could amicably
consider any mutually advantageous
propositions Sir Wilfred was also
plainly told that this country will find
a means of resenting Canada's stub
born refusal to respect our rights, and
that Congress may show a temper to
fetaliate in a manner most obnoxiou,
to the Dominion S Commissioners aud
prosperity. None of our officials con
ceal their satisfaction that we now
firmly hold the handle of the whip.

we were sitting around in the parlor,
Mr. Lincoln looked thoughtful for a
moment or two and then said: i be-
lieve, gentlemen, the committee are ex-

day If you will excuse me, will go
into this room here and prepare it,
After time he returned, holding in
his hand large, yellow government

Several spoke in favor of it, and
one or two commended it in strong
terms We'll, says the president,
haven't you any criticisms? What do
you say, Seward?
"Mr. Seward made one or two sug-
gestions bearing ON some slight verbal
