LEGION COMPANIONS
DISCUSS QUALIFICATIONS OF
MEMBERS
Loyal Legion People Seem Disinclined
to Make Changes in the Body's
Constitution

DETROIT. Mich, June IA hundred
members of the military order Of the
Loyal legion all more or less distin-
guished as army or navy officials, are
in conference here, discussing important
questions relating to that order. Gen.
Alger, secretary of war, is present. Ad-
miral Gherardi, u S. NJ, commander
in-chief of the legion, opened the con-
ference by introducing Major Maybury,
also a companion of the legion, who
made an address of welcome. The con-
ference took up the much mooted ques-
ton of what the legion's membership
bership shall have passed away, still
preserving the hereditary distinctions
which characterize the order.
A dozen amendments had been offered
and the opening session was devoted to
discussing them. The discussion turned
chiefly on the report of committee of
the New York commandery. by which
it is proposed to eliminate collateral
eligibility for membership instead Of
permitting soldiers who had been con-
spicuous by their loyalty. but who had
not served as officers, to become men,
bers. 1t is said that the sons Of the lat
ter class are seeking to acquire the
hereditary distinction which member
ship in this order confers. The matter
was referred to a committee.
The number of companions present
was largely increased this afternoon by
incoming delegates. Although the con-
gress itself is limited to three members
from each state. a total of thrice that
number had arrived. The ladies OF
members present.( escorted by an equal
number of Detroit ladies, were given q
long drive about the city during the at
ternoon.
Several amendments to the consti-
tuition of the legion were offered at the
afternoon session, but nearly all of them
failed to receive the vote of three
fourths of the state commandery, nee
essary to their adoption.
Amendments regarding the forfeiture
of membership, which were offered by
the New York and California comman-
deries, were rejected. Amendments
were submitted by the companions of
Massachusetts, California, Kansas and
washington, Dy WHICH UNIFORM TOSStteS
would be worn by all classes in the or
der, instead of the present provision for
rosettes for non-original companions of
the first class and for companions of the
second and third classes of a different
design from those worn by original COM
panions of the first class. All these
amendments were rejected by the con-
gress, after more or less debating Of the
questions.
The congress also decided to adopt
amendments from the California COM
mandery to alter the rules under which
amendments to the constitution may be
adopted.
An amendment submitted by the I'LL
nois commandery was adopted provid-
ing that boards of officers, instead of
commanders, shall have authority in
cases of dismissal for arrears of men,
berS.
A general reception was held at the
Hotel Cadillac this evening, at which the
veterans and their ladies met many Of
their old and new acquaintances.

NEW YORK, June "A dispatch to

Derby today was reckoned as certain

scratched and Mr. Lorillard has lost his
chance OF repeating the victory Of Iro-
Quois,
Oddly enough. Jacob Pinous, who
trained that winner. is responsible to-
day for st. Cloud, which rune in Mr.
James r. Keene's colors. There Is little
or nothing known here about St. Cloud.
other than he belongs to a very much re-
spected sportsman, whose colors were
made popular in England through the
performance of that great horse Fox
hall.
The race was won by ]. Gubbins'
brown colt Galtee- More, by Kendall out
of Morganette.
Before the race the paddock was far
less crowded than usual. The gaily-
colored turbans of the visitors gave life
to an otherwise somewhat depressing
scene. During the race there was little
excitement, but when the horses return
ed to weigh and Mr.. Gubbins led his
horse into the crowd he was Justify
cheered. Wood, Galtee- More's jockey,
also came in for hearty reception.
The following were the starters: j.
Gubbins' Galtee-More, Lord Rosebery's
Velasquez, Mr.. Fairio's Eager, ]. Z.
Joicey's Silverton, Wallace Jones' Mon
Grey, J. Simon Harrison's History, ]. f.
Platt's Angels, the prince of Wales
Oakdene, T. Wadlow's Prime Minister
G. D. Roses Frisson and ]. r. Keene's
st, Cloud II.
The race for the Derby is for 3-year-
old horses, colts to carry 126 pounds and
fillies 121.
Galtee-More is the first horse bred In
Ireland and owned by an Irishman
which has won the Derby. The merits
of the colt can be better gathered when
1t is remembered that Galtee-More has
won the Newmarket stakes and 1000
guineas this year. In the latter event,
as today, Lord Rosebery's Velasquez
ran second.

THE IRISH EISTEDDFOD.

The Oireachtas, or literary assembly
in connection with the movement for
preserving the Irish language, was held
recently in the Rotunda, Dublin. A
member of the city council presided in
the absence of the Lord Mayor through
illness. The assembly, the first of its
kind ever held in modern times in Ire
land was largely attended, those pres
ent including Mr. T. II. Thomas, r. G.
A., the herald bard of Wales. A con-
siderable sum of money was awarded
in prizx.
The proceedings, which took place at
the Mansion House in the evening,
when the Felt Executive Committee
welcomed the Welsh delegation in
Dublin, were of an extremely interest
ing character. AS principal member of
the Welsh delegation, Mr.. T. II. Thorn
as, herald bard of Wales, was received
with the greatest enthusiasm. After
being introduced by the chairman, Mr..
Thomas said he had come to attend the
Feis in the double capacity of men,
Der of the Gorsedd and member of the
eisteddfod. He was the bearer of two
messages from his nation. The first
was from the Archdruid of the Cor
sedd, who said as Celts, the Welsh re-
joiced in every thing done for the
glory of the Celtic race, and that their
hearts would go out to the Irish in
their festival days during the present
week. The other communication was
from the Executive committee of the
present years eisteddfod who eX
pressed a hope that like the eistedd-
fod, the Feio would succeed in OBJ
tanning the adhesion of all the people
The Executive of the eisteddfod would
this year give a prize for a piece of
Irish music.

great New York Eisteddfod, which, in
point of great magnificence, will excel
