ENCAMPMENT IN FULL BLAST
An Immense Number of Army Men and Visi-
tors Have Arrived at Chicago.
(By the Associated Press)

(By the Associated fTeSS.)
Chicago, August 27.-The thirty-fourth
annual encampment of the G. A. r.,
which was formally opened last night by
the monster meeting in the Coliseum,
was in full blast today and in all respects
it promises to be the greatest and most
successful encampment the army has
ever held. 1t was estimated by railroad
officials tonight that fully $4,000 old
soldiers had arrived and that 100000
other eXcursionists had come with them.
The weather was splendid. OF the $4,000
men enlisted in the navy in the early
days of the war less than 1000 marched
today and it is agreed by the old sailors
that their number was greater in the
march today than it will ever be in any
parade to come. Only one battle flag
was carried by the naval veterans. 1t
was one that fluttered from the monitor
Winnebago when Farragut sailed into
Mobile Bay to gain his crowning vic
tory. The army will march tomorrow.
Reside the naval veterans of the Civil
War, marched men who fought with
Dewey at Manila Bay and also members
OF the association of eX-prisoners of war.
They made short march out to the
days of the war less than 10000 marched
para court, WneFe -n-CHlel
Shaw, of the G. A. r., Acting Governor
Warder, Mayor Harrison and others re-
viewed them. Prior to their parade the
naval arch had been dedicated with SIM
pie exercises in which Bishop Samuel
Fallows and DR.. E. p. Murdock of Farra-
gut Post, Chicago, took leading part.
The late afternoon feature of the days
celebration, the nayal parade on Lake
Michigan proved somewhat of a disap-
pointment, weather conditions interfer-
ing sadly with the arrangements.
The Sons of Veterans and the Ma
tional Association of ex-Prisoners of
War held sessions turning the day.
Tomorrow the greater parade of the
G. A. R. will occur and it is expected to
be the largest parade held since the or
ganization came into existence.

Chicago, August 27.-At meeting of
the Peoples Party National committee to-
day, the declination OF Charles A. Towne
as the Vice Presidential nominee of the
party after long debate was accepted
and lie name of A. Z. Stevenson was
put in his place.
In the beginning there were three
courses advocated by different members
CT the committee. viz, to nominate a
Pcpulist, to leave the place blank, or,
lastly, to endorse Mr.. Stevenson. Sem
ator Marion Butler, chairman of the COM
m,tttee, in warm speech of some length,
advocated leaving the place blank, con-
tending that Bryan and Stevenson would
receive more POpulist votes than If a
candidate for Vice President were named.
But one test vote was taken. A motion
was made to endorse Mr. Stevenson. For
this motion Mr.. Washburn, of Massachu-
sets, moved as a substitute that Pop
ulist be placed upon the ticket. The
substitute was lost on a call Cf the roll
by a vote Of "a ayes to II nays. The
original motion was then adopted by a
viva voce vote. There were 124 members
Of the committee present or represented
by proxy.

A FORGED MESSAGE,
Growing Suspicion that the Telegram
from Conger was Fake.

Washington, d. c., July 2S-The gov
eminent has information that Yuan, the
governor of Shantung province, and
Sheng, the director of railways and tele-
graphs of the Chinese empire through
whom the alleged Conger message of
July IS was transmitted to Washington,
knew the contents of Secretary Hay 5
cipher message Of July II to Mr.. COnger
and the contents of the cipher dispatch
signed with the American minister S
name, which came as Il reply.
The indications all point to the posses
sion by one or both of these officers of
copies of the state department cipher
code, although yesterday the officers of
the department were positive that nc
copy of the code had been lost in China
At the cabinet council the information
that Sheng and Yuan knew the contents
of Secretary Hays message and the
COnger cipher dispatch was considered.
The opinions expressed by the cabinet of
hcers may be summed UP in the express
sion of one of them, that while the light
of hope that the ministers were alive on
July Is still shines, it is burning very
dlmly and may go out at any time"
Suspicious of Sheng.
Ever since the receipt at Tien Tsin of
the autograph message from Mr. Conger.
dated Pekin, July 4, state department
officials have had grave doubts as to the
authenticity of the cipher message at
tributed to him. Now the British au-
thorities have added their quota to the
growing distrust of things Chinese. 1t
seems that Mr.. Warren, at present act
ing as British consul at Shanghai, has
been told b. :heng. the famous Chinese
director of posts and telegraphs, that
Yuan, the governor of Shantung, told
him (Sheng) that a message had passed
through to the United States from Mr..
Conger on the 18th of July. telling of the
conditions at the British legation. This
cipher dispatch was faxed by Chinese
officials.
The source of the information that the
contents of both query and answer were
known to Sheng and Yuan is withheld
by the authorities. 1t will be remem-
bered that the ''Conger' message of July
Is came in a long telegram purportmg to
have been sent by the tsung Ii yamen, or
foreign office, at Pekin, to Gov. Yuan
and by him transmitted to Sheng at
Shanghai who cabled it to Minister WI
Ting Fang in Washington.
