Chicago, Aug. 3O.-1n Studebaker
hall yesterday morning the veterans Of
the G. A. R.. who Tuesday marched
in parade, turned their attention to
matters of business. The annual
meeting was formally called to order
by Commander-in-Chief Shaw. The
audience rose and remained standing
during the invocation. Mayor Harri-
son then came to the front Of the ros-
trum to formally welcome the soldiers
to Chicago. His address was happily
received.
AS Gen. Shaw resumed his seat J. M.
Longenecker, commander of the de-
partment of Illinois, rose to greet the
visiting veterans in behalf of the sold
iers of Illinois. He made happy lit
tie speech, which evoked much ap-
plause. Gen. Louis Wagner respond
ed. This closed the meeting of the
morning, as Immediately after the con-
clusion of Gen. Wagner's address, he,
Commander Longenecker, Mayor Harri-
son and Gen. Shaw held an informal
reception, lasting half an hour. Gen.
Shaw read his annual report, which
contained some important recommen-
dations.
Following the address of Gen. Shaw
came long list of reports submitted
by the minor officials and the various
committees of the organization. The
committee on legislation for veterans
in public services, reported in part as
follows:
During the year the chairman Of
your committee has many times had
occasion to go to our comrade, William
Mckinley, president of the United
States, in the interest Of other COM
rades who needed help or protection,
and never in vain. Numerous restora-
TONS to the public service of veterans
wronged, gave needed help and some
sweeping reforms in ideas of admins
tration adopted by him for the pro-
lection of other veterans in their rights
have produced good results for our
people in other directions"
At the conclusion of the reading Of
the annual reports of the various Of
ficers a recess was taken until 2:30 p.
M, when consideration Of reports was
resumed in executive session.
The first thing taken up was the re-
port of the pension committee. This
would contain, it is generally thought,
some warm statements, but there were
none. The report discussed the differ
ences of opinion existing between the
pension office and those members OF
the Grand Army VINO hold that old SOL
diers have not received sufficient con-
sideration, but offered no suggestions
as to the direct line of policy to be pur-
sued Silver services were presented
to Adiutant General Stewart and Past
Commander Johnson as tokens OF the
esteem in which they were held by
comrades. The committee which had
taken the annual message of conf
mander-in-Chief Shaw under consider
alton reported approval of all his sug-
gestions with the exception Of that re-
lating to a change of date of memorial
day from May 80 to the last Sunday in
May. On this the committee reported
adversely, and their report was adopt
ed by the convention. 1t is expected
that the work of the encampment will
be over by noon today.

Washington, Aug. 50.-F is stated
on good authority that President Nc
