arrived off Lincoln park about 430 D. M.
and then in sight of tens of thousands
OF spectators gathered along the sea
wall of the park, the revenue cutters,
with their blue jacketed crews working
the rapid fire guns of the two vessels,
went through some beautiful maneuver-
ing in the sham fight for supremacy
The end of the naval fight off Lincoln
park closed the official programme of
the encampment for the day but all
over the city in various halls and in all
the hotels there were reunions of regi-
ments almost without number, gather

the days of the war, and fraternaI gath
erings of all sorts and descriptions One
of the leading affairs Of the night was
the banquet of the Iron Brigade, which
was held at the club house of the Ath-
letic club at $3.50. The list of speakers
and toasts was as follows: Speaker D.

member of the brigade, sang an original
composition, '"The Song of the Iron Bri-

Eloquent speeches by soldiers, states
men, and patriotic music, instrumental
and vocal, made memorable the meeting
of Cook County Sons of Veterans, which
was held in Memorial hall tonight The
beautifully decorated hall was packed
to the doors, and the speakers were en-
Enthusiastically greeted.
A meeting of the national association
of ex-prisoners of war was held in the
Coliseum tonight, which drew a large
crowd, an attractive programme being
rendered. The address of welcome was
delivered by Mayor Harrison Speeches
were also made by Gov. William A
Stone, of Pennsylvania; United States

Gen. John c. Black, of Chicago.

government today received two dispatches,
presumably bringing it's advices up to the
most recent date There are indications
that the principal delays in the lines of
communication are encountered between
lien Tsin and Pekin, a fact explainable
by the newspaper advices that small
bands Of Boxers are operating On the
line of communication of the Pekin cam
palgn forces. Just such interference with
the work of the Signal corps men was
experienced by the United States forces in
the philippines and by Lord Roberts
troops In the Transvaal campaign. Usual
Iy these Interruptions are very short. the
marauders being driven off and the lines
restored within day or two. The fact
that more than week was covered by
the last interruption gives rise to the
belief here that these attacks upon the
lines Of communication by the Boxers
are more formidable than was supposed
to be possible, after the heavy losses in
fiicted upon them by the international
forces in it's advance.
The important dispatch of the day was
one from Mr.. Conger relative to the mill
tary situation in Pekin. Unfortunately it
lacked date, the minister presumably
not having yet received the department 8
instruction to include the date in the body
of his dispatches The state department
at first undertook to have the cable COM
panleS correct this serious omission, but
finally concluding from evidence that
Mr.. Conger's message was certainly later
than any Of those emanating from the
Chinese capital, the message was allow
ed publicity for what it was worth. Mr.
Conger's reference to the arrival of 1000
fresh German troops caused some sur
prise, no one apparently having closely
watched the movements of the German
contingent which is now arriving with
fairly regular frequency In China and
which consequently may be expected soon
to equal in numerical strength the mill
tary contingents of any of the European
nations there represented.
Another event of the day of some in
terest was the order dispatching the Cas-
tine from Shanghai to Annoy, distant
about 400 miles. The little gunboat should
make the run in about two days under
favorable conditions.
The first direct word from Gen. Chaffee
since Aug. Is came today in the form of
a cablegram dated today at Taku, report
ing the action of the Sixth cavalry with
the enemy near lien Tsin on the 18th.
The cable is as follows:
"Taku. Aug. %. : Adjutant General
Washington: Col. Wint, on the 18TH re-
ports marched at a. m. and engaged
large force of enemy seven miles from
the city, dispensing them, killing about
100 Americans lost about five wounded.
List soon as learned. -"Chaffee."

The contest for the honor of enter
tanning the next annual encampment of
the q. a. K. promises to be a rather
lively one. The preponderance of senti-
ment apparently favors a Western city,
and both Salt Lake and Denver have
delegations on the ground working hard
to secure the encampment of 1901. In
the contest this year something beside S
geographical considerations are appar-
emily having much weight with the vete-
rams. The passing of the years have
made members difficult to bear the fa-
ugd1ng heat, and many of the most
prominent members of the organization
are pronounced in the selection of a city
where cool weather may reasonably be
expected. This may have some effect on
the selection, and 1t may be held west
of the Mississippi river.
Maj. William Warner will present the
name of Maj Rasseaur, of ST. Louis,
to the annual meeting of the encamp-
ment as a candidate for commander in
chief for the coming year. 1t seems
almost certain that the St Louis vete-
ran will receive practically the unani-
nous vote of the encampment for the
honor of its leadership, as since the
withdrawal of Cen. Black, of Illinois,
no other name than that of Maj Ras-
seaur has been mentioned.
The executive committee of the G. A.
r. held somewhat protracted meeting
this evening. Plans for the coming year
were discussed, and an outline of the
programme of the business to come be-
fore the annual encampment was taken
up. None of the members would say
what was accomplished, except that it
was of routine character.
The pension committee also held a
meeting and considered its report This
will be presented at Wednesdays busi-
ness meeting

sadly with the arrangements. Besides
the revenue cutters Morrill, and Fessen-

it had been planned to have the large
fleet of the Chicago Yacht club included

off Jackson boulevard to Lake Michigan,
where the naval battle took place, but
the breeze of the morning died away
and hardly breath or air was stirring
during the afternoon so this part Of the
programme was necessarily abandoned.
