The new commander-in-ch of the G. A. F. is General T. J. Stewart of Pennsylvania, who was a leading candidate for the honor a year ago. His competitors to- day were General John C. Black of Illinois. former commissioner of pen sons, and Colonel John McElroy of this city The name of General Daniel Siclxles of New York City was presented but he withdrew from the race. Will liam M. Olin of Massachusetts was elected vice commander-in-chief and James M. Averill of Georgia junior vice commander-in-c -chief.
 Aside from the election of these off cers the most interesting feature of the encampment was the report of the pen sion committee of the G. A. R. This committee severely scored the medical division of the pension bureau declar- ing that it was a division where were executed the claims of veterans seeking pensions. It accused the personnel of this division of approaching the reports of examining surgeons throughout the country with suspicion and distrust and as made in bad faith. It denounced the reports that extensive frauds were practiced in pension claims as abso- lutely baseless.
 Thousands of veterans and their wives attended the army corps reunions in the big tents on the White House lot or spent the beautiful October day in sightseeing. feature of the afternoon was the dedication of the cornerstone of the proposed memorial bridge to connect Washington with the national cemetery at Arlington.
 Secretary Root was the orator of the occasion.

WOULD BUY JERUSALEM.
Dowie Tells His Followers Of His OBJ.
ject In Life.

JSSt IN Lie.
For the first time in his career John
Alexander Dowie has announced to
his followers what his real aim in
life is. Before a gathering of 1000
persons in Shiloh Tabernacle, Zion
City, he said that his only purpose
in building Zion was to make enough
millions OF dollars to buy outright the
city of Jerusalem and lead his people
there to await the coming of Christ.
From the present outlook it will
not be many years before we will
have several Zion Cities" said Dowie,
''and we will make enough to accom-
pllsh our great purpose"
The theme of Dowie's talk and ev-
cry remark were to show that Zion
City is the fulfllment of the prophecy
of Isaiah. He spoke upon THE City
of God" and told of the great thiass-
Zion was to do in the world.
Dowie averred the millennium is
closer at hand than people imagined.
The recent volcanic eruptions. he be.
lieved, are warnings to prepare for
the end of the world. He cited the
Lake Shore as particularly suscept.
ible to seismic disturbances and de-
clared that when the world is burned
up in the awful fire that is kindling
for it Zion City will stand alone, I'M
harmed.
THE theocratic party" declared
Dowie, will before long rule the
world. Zion City will be the leading
city of America in education, religion,
commerce and finance. 1t will have
feet of vessels plying between the
continents"
Cities like Zion are to be- estab-
lished in other places. Already offers
Of land have been received.
