Citizens Committee Finds It
More Difficult to Estimate
Encampment Attendance
Than They Anticipated.
RAILROADS IN THE DARK
Some Representatives Say From
100000 to 100000 Is Near
the Correct Figure-Every-
thing Will Be in Readiness.

The advance guard of the crowd of Wis
itors to the thirty-sixth annual encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Republic
will have invaded Washington before
next Sunday. From then until the morn
ing of the grand parade and review Of
the veterans of the civil war, Wednes-
day, October s, the railroads. will be
hauling visitors into the city by the
train load.
The attendance is still matter of
conjecture. and will depend largely upon
the condition OF the weather at the
time the railroad tickets are placed on
sale. The railroad officials themselves
have no reliable figures on which to
base their estimates. and until they
have they do not feel justified in au-
thorizing the suspension of freight busi-
ness into the city. This action may be
taken at any time, however, should the
movement Of passengers prove great
enough to warrant it.
Already the work of preparation for
the visitors is In an advanced state, with
outward evidences to be found on every
side. The decoration of some of the
downtown buildings has commenced;
gang of men are at work on the White
Lot erecting the reunion tents; the
arena for the grand spectacular display
OF fireworks and THE Fall of Pekin" is
well under way, the 15.400 bleacher
seats having been completed, and large
portion OF the scenery erected: the toll
ct stations are being placed in promI-
nent locations; the stores are beginning
to make special window displays with
the view Of attracting the visiting
trade: and on every hand the evidences

OF the proximity OF the gathering are
to be found.
Not Like Former Crowds.
During inaugurations and other gath
erings in this city it has been possible
TO gauge the crowd with a greater de-
gree of certainty than at the present
time, for the reason that on these occa-
sions large organizations form the basis
OF the crowd. These organizations all
secure their quarters far in advance, and
make their transportation arrangements
so that the roads know how many they
will be expected to handle. In the pres
tions will be comparatively small, and
the bodies will be equally diminutive
in size. The general public is not likely
TO make its arrangements until the last
moment, and will be guided, to an ex-
tent, by the condition of the weather at
the time.
Despite these hindrances, Mr. NJ. ].
Weller, chairman OF the public comfort
committee, states that never in his six
teen years experience in handling large
gatherings in Washington has he known
of so large reservation of accommoda-
tfons Tor individuals as has been made
at the present time. In his opinion, the
crowd will number between 200 900 and
100000 people. This estimate is as ac-
curate as any that can be secured. and
means that there will be more people
here than on the occasion of the last in
auguration.

ministrative authority of the city,"
which means that the Mayor of fed
eral plan city must move over on his
broad seat of power and let the three
members of this board squeeze in be-
side him to take each his dile-q1arter
of any blame or praise that may be
hurled at the city administration. But
to meet this criticism the friends of
this code say the Mayor does all the
appointing there is and has the power
of removal and that he also appoints
his. own solicitor.
The chief features noticeable in the
code In a general way were the broad
and careful provisions for public ac-
counting, the equally careful limitation
of the power to borrow money and the
regulations on the granting of fran
chises aside from the changes in the
organization of the city government
itself. No citizen of the new code
city can plead ignorance of the manner
in which every cent is expended be-
yond certain point. He can say him
self at the ballox box whether he shall
be taxed. And no Council can give a
franshise without return to the city
treasury, or give one for longer term
than 25 years.
Aside from the legislative and poll
teal features the reunion at Cedar
Point has been an undoubted success.
The men who came here have had the
time of their lives and they are frank
ly saying so. And all praise is heaped
on Guerin, the energetic little Erie
county legislator, to whom all this is
due. To use western expression,
he has organized" this fun so per-
fectly that not hitch occurred. AL
ready there Is talk of another reunion
next summer. More than that, the
plan is broached of having the Repub-
iicap members of the legislature at
tend the Democratic state convention,
which meets here September 2 and 3.
A special train has been offered them.
and Guerin promises them more fun
than they have had in the past three
days. 1t seems to be a settled fact
that the Legislature will recess over
the Democratic state convention and
Guerin's proposition to attend 1t is
finding many advocates.

SAILOR KILLED ON HIGH SEAS.
shipmates Barely Restrained From
Mutiny Against His Murderer.

A dispatch from Pensacola, Fla, last
night says: A sensational story OF mutiny
and murder on the high seas Is told by Cap
tain Mcdonald of the American schooner
Mary Sanford, which has arrived here after
an eventful voyage from Bluehefds, Nlcara-
qua. During the voyage one man was
killed and the crew were in almost con-
slant mutiny, clamorous for the blood OF
the man who murdered their shipmate The
murderer, First Mate Nicholson. was placed
in jail soon after the arrival OF the San
ford In this port.
The Mary Sanford left Bluefelds June

son, the first mate, killed Fred Reed

duty to suit the ideas of the mate.
When Captain Mcdonald saw what had
happened he ran and overpowered Nlchoi-
son, took the pistol from him ana threw

in irons and kept under strict guard until
the vessel reached the Pensacola quarantine
station. when the United States marshal s
Office was told Of the murder on the high
seas. and Nicholson brought here and lock-
ed up. He win be given preliminary
trial before United States Commissioner
