MEMORIAL DAY.
Commander BEEN, of the G.. A. r.,
Sends Out OmciaI Order.

The proper observance of Memorial day
is the subject of an interesting official order
promulgated yesterday by Commander
BEEN from headquarters of the G.. A. r ;.
Department of Indiana, in the Statehouse.
The document is officially designated as
general orders No. II, and copies will be
sent to all G. a. r. posts In the State. The
fun text of the order follows:
The near approach of May 30 causes our
thoughts TO dwell upon the heroic dead.
1t is extremely gratifying TO know that this
day, made sacred TO the memory of our
fallen comrades, is being observed with
greater interest each year throughout the
Union by all classes C citizens. This is evil
dence that popular appreciation OF the SerV-
ices and sacrifices of the soldiers of the
Union increases with the years and in pro-
portion as the magnitude and resulting
good of their achievements are made mani
fest. The complete uniication of our coun-
try was the inspiring motive in the enlist
men and service Of every soldier of the
Republic. The happy accomplishment of
this high purpose, the marvellous growth
and prosperity of our restored Union, the
increased luster and glory of our flag
impetus TO republican institutions appeal
strongly TO the hearts of a patriotic people.
They delight TO honor the memory of the
men who struggled 10 bring about these
mighty results.
'sThe Grand Army of the Republic. which
instituted Memorial day, should in the
luluIt, III III ne past ltdu III u ODotlN-
ance, and i'm all proper ways encourage
others to participate in the same. To prop
erly honor the memory Of our deceased
comrades is 10 honor our glorious cause. To
garland their graves with the choicest flow
ers Of springtime Is a beautiful lesson In
patriotism, and is a reminder that the noble
dead laid down their lives in defense of
national life and honor.
Post commanders are urged to make the
usual preparations for the decoration of the
graves of our dead comrades. Let great
care be observed in the selection of speak
ers and music, that the services may be In
keeping with the character of the sacred
day.
I'm accordance with the action of the
thiritieth national encampment the depart
nent commander directs that the memorial
address of President Lincoln at Gettysburg
be read in connection with the other serv-
ices.
rost commanders are also enjoined to
observe the established custom of attend
ing divine worship on the Sunday preced-
ing Memorial day. This Nation should ever
remain a people whose God is the Lord.
cit is suggested that at all of these serv-
ices members of the WOmen's Relief Corps,
the Sons and Daughters of Veterans and
all kindred and patriotic orders and the
soldiers Of other wars, be invited TO par
ticiDlte."

AND STEEL OPERATORS CLAIM
OTHER VICTORIES.
STRIKERS NOT DIsMAyED
Aer Joined By Men from Mills
Heretofore Unaffected
More Will Follow.

Pittsburg, Aug. 19-The United
States Steel corporation made a
series of gains today in the restora-
ton of properties crippled by the
strike of the ~Amalgamated associa-
ton and it's sympathizers.
The steel mills at Monessen after a
long period of inactivity, were part
ly put in motion by strike breakers
gathered in some of the southern
states, two more mills in the Painter
plant were also started up, and an
other large mill at Clark property was
also operated for the first time. There
was some disorder in the streets Of
Monessen during the day, but the
local police lever lost control of the
demonstrative crowds and there was
no serious trouble.
The r%e-opening of the Monessen
mill is believed to be the first of the
series of aggressive moves on the
part of the Steel corporation. Pre-
parations are known to be in progress
for the re-opening of the Star Tin
mills in this city and for increasing
the force at the Lindsay & McCut-
cheon mills, and it is thought to be
only a matter of time before strong
holds like New Castle, McKeesport,
Wheeling, Bellaire and Mingo juno
tiou will no invado1
Strikers deny that any real progress
has been made at either Monessen
or Painters, and say that they are not
to be frightened by the burning of a
lot of coal and the mere operation Of
machinery. They say that skilled
men cannot be secured outside of
their ranks and that none of their
men are DESERVING despite the claims
to the contrary.
Managers of the Painter mills,
which now have four mills on, claim
that part of their two new crews is
made up of old employees who have
come back to work.
Men of the Pennsylvania works of
the National Tube company in this
city Joined the strikers tonight and
it is expected that the force in the
Transform plant will follow them to-
morrow. About 600 men left the
Pennsylvania works and it is almost
certain that all of the remaining 600
will join in the movement and com
pletely tie the property up.

Milwaukee's suburb of Bay View will

mill men and merchants who depend

OF 1,400 men who were employed

Amalgamated association. They are
tonnage men. Besides the union men
there were 200 other skilled men EN-.

Chicago, Aug. ia decided sensa.

MANY WERE BADLY BURNED
FIREMEN ARE COVERED WITH
BLAZING OIL.
Fire Is Beyond Control and It Will
Require Several Days to
Burn Itself Out.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2O-While a
large force of firemen were endeavor-
ing to check the fire in the nest of
burning oil tanks at the Atlantic Oil
Refining company's plant at Point
Breeze in the southwestern section of
the city, about 1890 o'clock this
morning, an immense tank of ben
zine suddenly exploded. Many fire
men were in close proximity to the
tank and fell victims to the blazing
oil and flying pieces of iron. Three or
four were killed and many were badly
burned before they could be rescued
by their more fortunate companions.
A general call was telegraphed for
ambulances and patrol wagons and
the injured were hurried to hospitals
in the town end of the city.
At this writing the names of the
dead firemen cannot be learned. They
were horribly burned and their bodies
badly mutilated. The bodies were
hardly recognizable when brought to
the morgue at 1870 o'clock this morn
ing. Some of the injured may die.
Ten or II tanks of benezine and pc
troleum have already been destroyed
and the fire has not been checked.
The fire, it is thought, will not
burn itself out for several days. The
loss, it is estimated, will reach prob
ably half a million dollars.

New York, Aug. 19-This dispatch
from the governor of the department

The news of the battle at Ana
