general, Albert S. Pierce, reported
that during the past IS months 11,Os3
deaths had occurred in the grand

1872 deserving sick and MANNED
soldiers not receiving pensions. In

diers and sailors there are 6, 431 in
mates and 81 old sailors and old SOL
diers are in aims houses.
In his report Daniel R. Lucas, chap
lain in chief, states that there are
66S2 soldiers graves unmarked. He
recommends that as the government
furnishes headstones the neglected
graves should receive attention.
During the noon recess the Pennsyl-
vania delegation met in caucus and
voted unanimously to support Shep-
pard for the office of communicating
chief. They also decided to present
no candidates for office to the conven-
ton. This action was taken for the
purpose of breaking up the practice Of
conceding to the state in which the con-
vention is held the Office of senior vice

er the election Commander-in-Chi
johnson was the recipient of diamond
badge, the gift of his chief of staff,
Col, w. L. Smith, and aides.

THE G. A. R. PARADE.
Thousands of Veterans March in Review
Before the President - Over Five
Miles in Length.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.-Tuesday
was the big day of the Grand Army
encampment, and the city was alive at
an early hour. The presence in the
city of President Mckinley and his
drive over the route of the parade
aroused the greatest enthusiasm among
the throngs. Adm. Sampson and the
captains of his fleet made a formal call
upon the president.
The presidential party reached the
reviewing stand at 1910 o'clock. The
head of the procession soon came in
view and thousands of veterans passed
with flags flying and bands playing
patriotic airs. Thirty-fve thousand
men were in line and the procession
was over five miles long.
independence hall was passed during
the march and caps were lifted and
colors were di pped by the veterans.
Post No. l from Rockford, Ill, the
oldest post in the grand army headed
the line. Gen. Jas. w. Latta, of this
city, was chief marshal.
Among the many relics of the civil
war which appeared in the parade was
the worn and stained flag which was
used at Gen. Thomas headquarters. 1t
was carried at the right of line in the
ciety of the Cumberland at Chicago,
the reception of Gen. Grant on his
return from a trip around the world.
Disabled veterans rode in carriages,
following the department of Pennsyl-
vania at the end of the line.
The Avenue of Fame, with its snow
white columns and festoons of bunt.
ing and laurel, was the favorite view
point.

THE KEARSARGE.
On Trial Trip the First-Class Battle
Ship Made IL Ia Knots an Hour.
Both on Going Out and Coming Back Many
of the Foreign ships Passing Dipped
Their Colors and Saluted the

NEWPORT News, Va, Sept. 6.-The
official reading of the log gave the
frst-class battle ship Kearsarge, which
went on her trial trip Tuesday, a re-
cord of 17H KNOTS, which speed was
maintained for nearly half an hour.
Those interested in the construction of
the splendid vessel consider her accom-
plishment as phenomenal in view of
the fact that the course was in shallow
water and that the vessels bottom is
IN pretty filthy condition.
having been in the water continuously
for Ii months. The steam and hand
steering gear were subjected to the
most severe tests, the mass of steel
and iron responding to her wheel al
most as readily as steam launch. On
one test she made a semi-circular turn
in two and one-quarter minutes. Capt.
Folger, who is to command the Kear-
sarge, and the other naval officers on
board expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the result of the trip.
The Kearsarge sailed at a. m. in
charge of Capt. Faircloth. She was
handled by picked crew of 200 men
from the yard. She left the dock I'M
der her own steam and at once pro-
ceeded toward tie Capes.
At Old Point Capt. Chester, who will
command the Kentucky, sister ship Of
the Kearsarge, boarded the vessel.
Here the anchor chains were tested
before proceeding to the neighborhood
of the Capes, the compasses were adj
justed and the big ship was put

THE NAVAL VETERANS.
The Proposed Admission of Spanish War
Veterans Causes Split in Their
Society-A New One Forming.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 7.-There were
lively times at Wednesdays session of
the 18th annual convention of the Ma
tional Association of Naval Veterans.
A resolution providing for the admis-
sion of participants in the Spanish war
to mem bership in the association start
ed rumpus and the result was that
there is now split in the organization.
At the convention held in cincinnati
last September the resolution above
mentioned was introduced and IN
der the rules was laid over until
this year. There was much discussion
among the members as to the advis.
ability Of admitting the Spanish war
veterans, and when the resolptio on
came before the association Wednes-
lay everybody was ready to fight for or
against it. The leader of the forces in
favor of the proposition was Past RI.
Adm. B. S. Osbon, of the Farragut as
ISOLATION, New York city. He deliver
ed passionate address, in
which he said that the Naval
Veterans association should be
oerpetuated by admitting the
men of the late war and not let the or
yanization die with the veterans of
the civil war. He was followed by
Surgeon A. Trego Shertzer, of Balti-
more, who stoutly maintained that the
association was organized for the sail
ors of the civil war only, and that it
should die with them. A number of
other speeches were made, and the
vote on the resolution was overwhelm-
ingly against admitting the men of
the late war.
When the result was announced the
Farragut delegates from New York
and the delegates from the Adm.
Boggs association. of Newark, n. j.,
walked out in body. 1t is their in
tention to start an opposition associa-
ton to be known as the United States
Veteran Navy, and headquarters will
probably be in New York city. The
boilers claim that they will get nearly
200 members from the Naval Veterans
association and will admit to member
ship all those who were in the navy
during the Spanish war. Outside OF
this episode the convention was a har-
monious one. RI. Adm. Foss, of Min
neapolis, was in the chair and made
very able address. A resolution
was adopted abolishing the title of
rear admiral and giving the highest
officer in the association the title OF
commodore commanding.
The proposition to parade with the
Grand Army of the Republic each year
was defeated, as was also a resolution
providing for the organization of a
beneficial society within the associa-
ton.
The convention will be visited Thurs
day by Adm. Sampson, Of the North
Atlantic squadron, now in the city.

The Nixons, at Eliza bethport, N. j.,

Nicholson and O'Brien, have stated to
naval officials that it is impossible for
them to get forgings and struts, and it
is expected that they will have to ask
an extension. There are II of the tor
pedo boats and destroyers under con-
struction in various yards, and all are
affected by the steel famine and the
heavy prices, so that it is expected
that extensions will be asked on all of
these craft.
The prospect is that the bids on the
six protected cruisers, to be opened on
November l, will be much higher than
was expected when the appropriation
for them was made. It is roughly esti-
mated that the steel in hulls has ad-
vanced about so per cent; in engines
40 per cent; in boilers 80 per cent,
and that the average advance on all
classes Of steel used in ships is about
So per cent.
The engineering bureau has also
felt the advance, not only in increased
prices, but in an inability to get ma
terial and buildings inside the limit
fixed by congress. On a recent pur.
chase of electric cranes the advance
was found to be about % per cent. In
the contracts for material for the
power plant at New York the increase
rang d from 80 to 60 per cent, the lat
ter applying to engines.
The bureau of yards and docks is un.
able to proceed with a number of build
ing projects at navy yards and sta
tions, owing to the advance in steel.
This is the case as to the large build
ings at the New York navy yard, al
the bids being in excess of the amount
allowed by congress. The same is true
Of the ordnance shops at League Island

jects.
Civil Engineer Cunningham, of the
bureau of yards and docks, says

Adm. O'Neil, of the bureau of ord
nance, says ordnance is about the only

detailed review of the work accom-
plished by the various departments

the more important were the follow
ing: That departments be given the
privilege of disposing of all money in
their emergency fund as they may
deem for the best interests of their re-
spective departments.
THAT a committee of three shall be
appointed to urge the adoption of a
bill making the wives mothers, wild

In the betting rings there was a
surging crowd only too anxious to bet

the local authorities.
Star Pointer won the first heat,

throned, and they made no mistake.
AS soon as the word was given Joe
Patchen started out to complete his
victory, and he did it in a most eff

so badly that he was distanced and
John R. Gentry was utterly unable to
compete with the horse that he beat at
Rochester, and which beat him at
Goshen. The time of the last heat
was 2D4H. 1t was announced that
