Concerning G. A. R. Encampment


Under the shad dow of old Independence
hall the general committee of veterans
and citizens preparing for the thirty
third national encampment and reunion
OF the @. A r. in Philadelphia
during the first week OF September are
hard at work and they say that the
demonstration in this city will exceed
anything that has ever preceded 1t. one
Of the prettiest attractions at the great
encampment will be the camp in Fair
mount park. There will be accOmmoda-
fiOns for 10000 men in tents, with cots
for four men in each. The camp VIII
be pitched on a beautiful plateau OF y
acres, overlooking the charming SchuyI-
kill, with the city in the distance 1t
will be accessible from all parts of the
town at all hours Of the day and night,
and will be guarded by a battalion OF
the Sons of Veterans. In the heart of
the city there will be free quarters for
fully thirty thousand additional COM
Tades, so that all who come will be sure
to be cared for. Then, again, the COM
Tnittee on public comfort have done a
big thing. They've arranged a plan of
registration for the visitors, so that one
will be able to find an old cOmrade of
the war at any time, day or night, in
'steen minutes by the town clock,
which, by the way, is the biggest clock
IN this big world. How convenient that
will be, particularly late at night. But
that's only one of many good ideas of
the huStling committee, which comes to
ones mind on the spur of the moment.
We hear that Secretary of State Hay
viii be here and at the camp fire will
read a poem which he has been asked
TO write and dedicate to the veterans,
There'H be a, night of it, sure, at that
camp fire. President Mckinley, himself
a veteran, will be there, and, in addi-
tiOn to Secretary Hay, he'll have nearly
all the members of the cabinet along.
The following is the programme for
the week, as revised:
Monday, September 4. Reception of
visiting posts and delegations at rail-
road stations; parade of naval vet
Grams.
Tuesday, September 5. Parade Of the
Grand Army of the Republic; reception
at the Academy of Music to the nation
al encampment G. a r; Woman's
Relief corps; Ladies Of the G. a. R;
Daughters Of Veterans and other ma
tional societies The president of the
United States and members of the cab
met, the governor of Pennsylvania, the
mayor Of Philadelphia and many other
distinguished officials, comrades and
guests are expected to be present.
Wednesday evening. Receptions by

ALGER AN INVENTOR.
War Secretary Designs a New Forti-
fication Parapet.

Washington, July 3.-Secretary Alger
is figuring to some extent as an inven-
tor, being in a measure responsible for
a novel parapet which has been erected
in experimental form at Fort Washing
ton, Md. The secretary, with Gen Will
son. chief of engineers, some of the
members of the Qualifications board and
several other distinguished officials, went
down the Potomac this afternoon to
make a practical test of this defensive
work
The parapet is made up of a combina-
ton of steel rails and concrete, and, it is
claimed, will prove far superior to the
ordinary unsupported earthwOrk and
concrete parapet. It was the intention
to fire at the structure with some heavy
caliber gun, comparing the effect of the
shots with those directed on a section
CT ordinary parapet near by.

Alaska Prospectors Are Forced to
Cannibalism.

Chicago. July "a special to the
Chronicle from Portland, Ore, says:
The stories of cannibalism practiced
in Alaska are enhanced in their hideous-
ness in a letter received here yesterday
by Captain Hans Svensen from Majon-
inc, in the KOtzebue Sound country. The
writer, OlOf JOrgensen, depicts a condi-
ton without a parallel He with two
other sailors, hailing from Stockholm,
Peter Martin and August Olsen, to-
gether with twenty others, went to the
Kotzebue country last September from
Seattle.
The letter incloses one to, Jorgensen's
mother in Stockholm which Martin, in
some roundabout banner, succeeded in
mailing at St A1ichaels, where he is now
lying at the point of death. unable to
give an account of what he and his fel-
lows suffered. Jorgensen's letter to his
mother must have been written some
days before he penned his to Svensen,
as it is more lucid.
After explaining how he and his col
leagues separated from the rest of the
argonauts and went prospecting on
their own account with dogs and sledges
Jorgensen told how they got lost in the
most inhospitable region on earth in
December last.

GREAT FIREWORKS.
J. r. Sovereign Tells of Blowing Up
Works at Occur ID Alene.

New York, July 3.-Ex-General Mas
ter Workman James R. Sovereign of
the knights of Labor today visited the
Central Federated union and stirred up
excitement among the Delegates on the
action of Gen. Merriam, in the Occur
d'Alene district.
He said he had come 800 miles as a
representative of the organized miners
of the Rocky Mountain mines and he
thanked the New York unions for the
the depOtism that he alleged existed
here Mr.. Sovereign threw the respOn-
sibility for all the troubles in that
mining district upon John D. ROckefel-
Ter, who, he said owned the Bunker Hill
company and controlled other mines.
The manager of the mines, he said, had
an agreement with the miners that
when the prices of silver and lead ores
rose they would pay them union rates
of wages. The prices did rise, and
when the men asked for the advanced
rate they We're refused. The men or
ganized and the managers began dis
charging them in blocks of ten and
twenty.
The ex-general master workman then
described the gathering of men, their
taking possession of a train and loading
it with 1000 pounds of dynamite, with
which they blew up some of the works.
1T was the grandest pyrotechnic dis
play that I ever knew of in my life, .
he continued, but it had not been
ordered or planned by the union. 1t
was the men themselves who had been
goaded to desperation.
I'VE propose to make a national issue
of this because 1t involves national in
terests. There may be jealousies and
rivaIries among trades unions, but
when the enemy turns the gatling guns
against one union they will turn them
against all unions and we are of fight
ing blood out west and we will fight
it out there"

TO REPLACE TOBACCO.
Iowa Convicts to be Gradually Broken
of the Chewing Habit.

Des Moines. July 3.-The state board
OF control has decided to reduce the to-
bacco allowance in the Denitentiaries
and spend the money saved in putting
butter on the prison bill of fare, where
at has hitherto been unknown. The re-
ductiOn will be gradual, though the but
ter comes at once and in a generous
amount.
All cOnvicts admitted after July 1 will
receive no tobacco and it will be taken
away from all who are punished by be-
ang placed in solitary confinement after
that time The others will receive only
two ounces per week, about half what
they have had. 1t has required from
1900 to 5000 pounds of tobacco, mostly
plug chewing to supply each of the two
prisons for three months.
We spent money enough last quarter
for tobacco to have bought twelve tons
of butter said Chairman Larrabee CT
the board, who is an inveterate tobacco
chewer, and we think the butter will
do the men more gOOd-besides it is an
Iowa product"
