Day During TbeiS Stay
Hese.

deep interest of President Roosevelt in
the coming encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic was received with
much satisfaction by the veterans and
their friends. The further statement
that should his condition permit he will
personally participate in a number OF
the public ceremonies was particularly
agreeable to the members of the organi-
cation.
Some little annoyance had been felt
by them because of the fact that after
the encampment had been postponed a
month at his suggestion, President
Roosevelt had arranged to devote but
one day TO the Grand Army. 1t is under
stood that the change of plans made pos
sible by reason of his physical condition
is alike agreeable to Mr.. Roosevelt and
the members of the order.
Chairman Brainard H. Warner, of the
citizens executive committee, called at
the White House yesterday afternoon
and was Immediately granted an audi
encc with the President and Secretary
Cortelyou. The President stated that it
was his desire that the present encamp-
ment should be made memorable to the
veterans, and that it was his purpose to
personally contribute.
To Review Parades.
1t is understood that he proposes to
review all of the parades that have been
arranged for the first three days. The
program of his participation in the cere-
monies of the encampment will be held
in abeyance for several days, or until
his physical condition shall eliminate
the possibility of change in plans. 1t
is understood that the President will
remain in the city until after the en-
campment.
The work of erecting the stand in
front of the White House for the use
of the President and his immediate as
sociates will begin at once. This stand
is to seat five hundred, and will be
provided with every convenience for the
comfort of the President and his guests.
Mr.. Warner was most gratif1ed at the
great interest evidenced in the encamp-
ment by the President and believes that
his interest will contribute in no small
extent TO the success of the enterprise.
Mr.. Warner is also deeply gratified at
the cooperation of the heads of the
several departments, who are doing
everything in their power to make the
encampment a success.
Right of Way.
I'm fact" said he. they have given en-
campment the right of way. Especially
IL A.,
partment Without the substantial aid
which has been given us by Secretary
Root and his assistants we could not
have done many things which we are
now able to accomplish.
THE Commissioner of Pensions has
been more than kind. His Office will be
q continuous reception during the en-
campment. He is going to specially de-
tail a large force to answer any in
Quiries that are submitted to him by Wis
iting comrades and their friends.
Commissioner Ware today notified me
that the Modoc Glee Club, of Topeka,
Kan, one of tie most celebrated in the
United States, consisting of forty mem
bers--merchants and business men of
Topeka-will be here during the Grand
Army encampment This club has long
been favorite at political conventions
and gatherings. They sing not only pa
triotic selections, but also new pnd good
things. not excluding rag time music.

tional convention which nominated Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt. The president of
