MEMORIAL.
New Jersey Encampment.

The 34th Annual Encampment of the New
Jersey Department, G. A. r., which was held
at Asbury Park, June and 6, WAS the most
successful Reunion of the veterans for sew
eraI years. Two business sessions were held
June ) in the Beach Auditorium, and nOmina-
tions were made for Department Commander.
There were only two candidates in the field,
Quarterlnaster-General John Lawrence, OF
New Brunswick, and Past Senior Vice Com
mander Oscar +. Clifford, of Newark.
The evening Of June a grand Campfire
was held In the Auditorium. Mayor Tenbroecl;
made the address of welcome. The Camp
fire was remarkable for the enthusiasm dis
played. A gray-haired Chaplain sang "Thc
Star Spangled Banner" and the entire audi
cnce OF 1000 persons Joined In the chorus.
Old soldiers, one after another. addressed the
audience.
The election on June was by far the
most exciting episode of the Encampment.
Lawrence was opposed by Oscar +. Clifford,
of Newark, and the contest was a nip-and-
tuck fight until near Its close, when the votes
came out solidly for the New Brunswick man.
Rising in his seat, before the vote was com
pleted, Clifford moved the election of Law
renee by acclamation. The motion was car.
ried with great enthusiasm.
Silas w. VOlk, of Camden, was elected
Senior Vice Commander, without opposition
David ID. Keefe, of Newark, defeated Thomas
]. Mead, of the same city, for Junior Vice
Commander after hot contest. Harry
Cheranne was elected Medical Director

DESERTION-VET NOLUN-
TEER.-In the general law pension case
of William Henry, the soldier yeteranlzed
by re-enlistment after two years service,
and subsequently deserted. He incurred
disability prior TO his re-enlistment ana
claimed pension thereon. The Pen
sion Bureau rejected his case, not
withstanding the decisions in the
case of John Norton @ 7. y,
9S2) and Daniel McGraw I'd, AZ,
holding that the discharge for the purpose
OF re-enlistment was not an absolute dis
charge, but was given simply for the pur-
nose of substituting a new contract of en-
listment. The decision asst Secretary
Campbell, April 80, 1901 holds the ac-
ton of the Pension Bureau to be an er-
ror, and in conformity with the expressed
views and holdings of the War Depart
ment. declares that the discharge for re-
enlistment was an absolute discharge, and
that therefore the deseTtion from the re-
enlistment is not a bar to pension under
the general law for disability incurred be-
fore the discharge TO re-enlist.

STRANGE SEA FIGHT.
Thrilling Encounter With Vicious Sea
Elephant.

One of the strangest sea fights on rec
ord is that which the crew of the British
warship had lately with sea elephant
near the Falkland Islands, off the sea-
coast of Patagonia.
AS actual proof of the tremendous size
of this little-known marine monster, its
head, trunk and ribs have been sent to
the British Museum, in London, where
they will shortly be put on exhibition.
II. NJ. S. Flora is a second-class pro-
tected cruiser. She had just arrived at
Port Stanley, in the Falkland Islands,
and the commander, desiring to go ashore,
ordered the gig to be lowered and manned.
The sea was comparatively smooth and
the boat shot along rapidly, propelled by
six stalwart blue-jackets. On nearing the
shore, however, they saw a strange crea.
ture in the water. What it was they did
not know 1t churned and beat the water
into the whiteness of snow within q few
fathoms of the boat.
Then the splashing and beating ceased,
and from the kissing foam arose what
seemed to be the dark head of an infu-
rated elephant. For a second the crea.
ture glared at the astonished boats crew;
then, with an ear-splitting scream, low
cred it's head, and like an arrow came for
the boat.
There was no time to do anything, to
jump or even think. Crash! and the frail

Cleveland. June 10. 1901.

cleveland. June ~, 15ol.
Gen. Leo RaSSeur, COmmander-ln-
Chief of the Grand Army, was in Cleve-
land last week on his second visit TO the
field of the coming Encampment. His OBJ
ject in visiting Cleveland at this time was
to confer with Chairmen of various COM
mittyes as to the work. During his visit
he was in consultation in the offices OF
the Executive Committee with Chairman
Arthur Bradley, of the Committee on
Decorations; Chairman c. c. Dewstoe,
of the Committee on Reunions, and
Capt. George a. Mckay, Vice
Chairman of the Committee on
Parade. Gen. Rassieur came to the city
from Rochester, where he had been in at
tendance upon the Encampment of the
Department of New York. He expressed
himself as greatly pleased at the progress
made in the work of preparation.
Headquarters for the big George III.
Thomas Post. of Chicago whose member
ship is 1G0, have been engaged at the Hol-
lenden by its Commander, DIR. Dan
iel B. Freeman. of Chicago. DR.
Freeman was in the city last week, in
Partridge. of the Department of Illinois,
also of Chicago. The Department had
engaged headquarters at the HOllenden
some time ago. DIR. Freeman called on
Mr.. George Z. Welsh, of Sterling, Welch
e Co., while in the city. He and Mr..
W elch had been comrades ana clOSe
friends in the army. The reunion was
a pleasure to them and a pleasure to wit
ness. DIR. Freeman recognized MIR. Welch
at once, selecting him from among all the
men in his place of business, nOtwith-
standing the years that had passed. Dr.
Freeman also called on another old army
friend, Mr.. Albert Fl. Porter, of the King
Bridge Company. Incidents like this are
illustrative of the great pleasure TO be af-
forded by the Reunions at the Cleveland
Encampmcnt, for which Col. Dewstoe and
his committee are making such careful
preparations.
From H. A. Backus, Adjutant, and
William Davey, Quartermaster, of Fair
banks Post, Detroit. who were in Cleve-
land Friday, some idea was gained as to
the probable representation of Michigan
at the Encampment. Mr.. Backus said
that of the $4,000 members of the Grand
Army in Michigan he would be greatly
disappointed if several thousand did not
attend. Both men agreed that the eXcur-
sionists who would be present from the
State of Michigan would number even
more than the veterans themselves. As
to Detroit. which is only III miles by
water and 173 by rail from Cleveland, it
is probable that transportation service
will be more than doubled and the people
of the City of the Straits be poured upon
the town by the many hundreds. Fair
banks Post will bring POO men, including
a band, and its quartet of veterans which
made a decided hit last year in Chicago.
Detroit Post will bring 100 men, and other
Posts OF the city will aggregate more
