LOUISVILLE. KY, Aug. 26.-The twenty
eighth triennial conclave of the Grand En-
campment of Knights Templars begins here
tomorrow, and the official prediction of
fair weather for the big parade, made pub
lie during a driving rain to-day, was re-
ceived with general relief.
Major John II. Leathers, grand marshal
of the parade. stated tonight that infor-
nation received during the day led him to
expect that 10000 Sir Knights would be In
line when the procession moves at $3.50 a.
m. This pageant planned will extend
over a route of four miles, and will be the
crowning glory of the conclave. knights
Templars from nearly every nook and
Granny of The country, even including
Honolulu, will be in line.
The course of the parade is futtering
show of bunting, flags and streamers, and
nearly every one of them will present TO
the marchers some sign of welcome. Ex-
traordinary precautions to keep the streets
cleared have been adopted Chief of Police
Haager announced to-day that he would
fence each side of every street with wire
to keep the crowds on the sidewalks. Street
cars will not run, and vehicles with spec
tators will be compelled to remain on side
streets. No boxes or stools will be allowed
save against the walls of buildings, in Or
der that all may have an equal opportunity
to view the spectacle
Incoming trains to-day clogged the tracks
about the city throughout the day. and by
midnight all but a few scattered COM
manderies had arrived and been escorted
to their quarters. From ten to thirty trains
arrived over every railroad entering the
city, and it is estimated that there are 10000
visitors here tonight. Hotels and other
hostelries are crowded to the doors, while
guests and visitors also accupy steamboats,
moored at the wharf and Pullman sleepers
parked in different parts OF the city.
The various Kentucky communicates
were divided into detachments to-day, and,
aeeompanied IN every iatiey instance ey orass ahs
Dc is and escorted them to their quarters.
When the rain began to fall during the
afternoon they merely covered their white
plumes and kept right at it in desperate
and successful effort to maintain the repu-
tstion of the South for hospitality. The
downpOur drenched the draperieS of the
buildings. but they suffered no material
damage generally.
Grand Generalissimo George NJ Moulton,
of Chicago, stated tonight that the election
undoubtedly be the usual perfunctory af-
fair it has been for years past. Grand
Master Lloyd will retire and be succeeded
by Deputy Grand Master Stoddard, of
Texas. officers under him will each adj
vance one grand. This will leave one va
cancy to be contested for-the junior grand
wardenship. A hot skirmish is expected,
the junior grand warden is in line TO be-
come the highest officer some day. In con-
nection with this office nearly every grand
commander at the conclave Is regarded as
a candidate, and a great deal of quiet elec
tioneering was done to-day.
The selection of the next meeting place
for the concave will be one of the last
things TO come before the Grand Encamp-
ment st. Paul is a strong candidate; Mil
waukee is making strong bid and San
Francisco is also represented by an earnest
band of vigorous advocates. Denver and
Cincinnati are in line, while St Louis and
various cities of New England are regarded
as possibilities
