THE GRAND ARMY.
What Veterans Are Doing for the
Good of the Order.
AN UNIQUE POST MEETING.


T. ii. Hagerty, Past Chaplain in Chiei, st,
Louis, writes: a meeting of Ransom Post
came on Christmas night. The Post opened
with about one hundred in attendance,
cheerful and happy. Opening out under
the head OF new business, the Commando
introduced Department Commander Pratt,
1T being his first visit TO hanson I0St.
The Commander was fraternal, interesting
and enthusiastic as to GAR. matters IN
the Department, giving the welcome IN
formation that in spite OF the hard times
and loss of some members, the Depart
ment would make a very creditable show
ing at the next Encampment. A recess
was declared for sweet cider and nut
cakes. 1t was discovered that some COM
rade had brought two dozen tin horns in
the hall; some veteran found one and
gave ''toot." That was a signal and the
horns were soon at the lips OF a Jolly set OF
boys"
The Commander called for order. He
then said he Sn.elt tobacco smoke IN the
hall, which was against the law, ana was
proceeding to give commands when Il
broadsde of horn-shot saluted him; more
efforts at speech were met with greater
hroadSideS, and he was va1quIshed.
An cX-CongreSs man then attemp' ed TO
sneak, but he could not hear himself for the
clattcr of the horns. Then the Senior wee
arose, which brought out every horn IN the

Commander called on the Chaplain to en-
tertain the Post hy speech, amid a very
few suppressed toots. Silence obtaining,
the Chaplain spoke for few moments un-
intercepted, when at one broadside the
Chaplain squatted as if shot.
At length cessation of hostllitleS was
effected, and the Commander proceeded 10
close in due form, when a very merry time
was had. II was amusing to see those olu
Ransom veterans unlimber and give them
selves up 10 such performances as ~
years ago would have been boy-like.

spirited foreign policy of annexation.
This army" he declares, would
Oon crush out democracy at home,
and in the end some popular general
would feel it his duty to save society
by making himself such a president as
the constitution never contemplated.
The old world" he continues, lin
its dealings with the new, ssumes an
attitude of condescension as ridiculous
as it is unwarranted. One of the sail
ent features of the late war was the
manly, honest, generous and chival-

BUSINESS IS BOOMING.
Reports of Trouble Betwee Natives and
Americans I'm Manila for the Most
Part U~nfOunded.

MANILA, Aug. 24.-The rumors of
trouble between the natives and the
Americans are for the most part I'M
founded. The fact is that the insur-
gents have been unwilling to disarm
until assured of the permanence of
American protection.
The distrust felt as to the Spanish
bank, which originated in rumors as
to the excessive note issue to aid the
Spanish authorities, led to a run on the
institution, but the British banking
houses came to it's assistance and
averted a failure.
Business is now booming. The OBJ
structiOns in the river Pasig, which
flows through the town, have been re-
moved, and the waterworks have re-
sumed operations.

HANSBORoUGH INTERVIEWED.
Finds a Growing Sentiment In Favor of
Holding the Philippines The
Chief Difficulty.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A. - Senator
Hansborough, of North DOkota, au-
thorized an interview yesterday, in
which he said: Il have beer sur
prised, on meeting prominent business
men in the east in the last 30 days, to
find almost Il u~nanimity of feeling in
favor of holding the Philippines. At
first | supposed it was merely the out
come of enthusiasm over the success
OF our arms and Il desire t o keep the
flag wherever it has been planted,
but find the sentiment in favor of
territorial expansion is growing. l
doubt, however, if people who are
evincing enthusiasm over this ques-
ton at the present time have stopped
to consider that to retain control of
the Philippines conteCplates a stand
ing army of perhaps 10000 to so, 900.
The serious part of it to my mind is,
that if we do not take the Philippines
the several foreign powers now seek
ing control will undertake to plant
themselves in the islands, and the
whole eastern question, so-called, will
be transferred TO, land for some time re-
volve about, the Philippine islands. 1
presume Thai some amicable arrange
e could be entered into on the part
of the United States with the foreign
nations, which are reaching out for
power in the new territory, whereby
Il JOINT protectorate could be agreed to,
giving France, England, Germany and
Russia the Same privileges that we
ask"

FILIPINOS FAVOR AMERICA.
Thought OF Asking Grea: Britain to In
tervene to Prevent Return
OF Spanish Rule.

ANNh
LONDON, Aug. 24-The Philippine
junta in London received a dispatch
from Manila, Monday, announcing that
matters there are rapidly quoting
down and hat the friction, between
Aguinaldo and the Americans is dis
appearing.
According to the %junta's advices. the
insurgents for a time regarded Gen.
Merritt and Gen. Anderson as marti-
nets, and feared they would adopt
harsh methods, like the Spaniards, to-
ward the Filipinos, but the insurgents,
from the first, have had the greatest
confidence in Admiral Dewey, whom
they regard as a sort of father and the
most important American at Manila.
The junta is satisfied that all fric-
ton will soon disappear and that
there will be no trouble from the in.
surgentS if the Americans decide To re-
tain the Philippines.
According to u wealthy Filipino, now
in London, the Filipinos in Europe are
all well-to-do people. Hitherto they
nave held alOof from the insurgents;
but they now realize hat their
interests demand action and they
are about to form a commit
tee to open negotiations with
the junta here. They are all in favor
of having the archipelago retained by
the United States. So strong is their
conviction of the desirability of this
course that they had contemplated ap-
nrnaphinr fhn Rrifiyh fara-n ,3,, -
invite Great Britain to intervene, and
in any event to prevent the islands be-
ing returned to the control of Spain.
They decided, however, to await Amer
lean action.

Calico from CaIicut in 1881.

Calico was first manufactured in a city
of India called Calicut, from which it de-
rives its name. 1t was introduced into
England in the year 1851, and finally into
this country, but as the United States con-
Slmes by far the largest quantity OF calico
of any country in the world, it is neces-
sarily manufactured here most extensively.
