WASHINGTON, Oct. Sup to II o'clock
tonight only a few Indianians had ar
rived to attend the G. A. r. encampment.
Fort Wayne and Huntington delegations
and half hundred from other northwest
ern Indiana cities arrived this afternoon,
but the trains carrying the other In
dianians are hours late and will not arrive
until after midnight. Some of the trains
will be dozen hours late. A score of
trains with thousands aboard are in the
blockade ten and fifteen miles out of
Washington and it is not probable that
they will get into the city before to-mor-
row morning. The train sheds of the
depots have been crowded with trains since
yesterday morning, and only few pas
sengers are lucky enough to arrive at the
depot. The remainder are dumped out in
the yards and thousands have been COM
PEELED to walk three or four miles along
the railroad tracks. The cold and disa-
greeable rain which began falling yester-
day noon did not let UP until O'Clock this
evening, which made the opening day
very uncomfortable and miserable one.
Notwithstanding the weather the people are
coming and marching through the rain
with bands and drum corps.
A great many of the Indianians have Sc
cured accommodations at private residences
and cannot be located. AT the comfort bu-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, Oct. 5.-This was
what is commonly known as the big day
Of the Indiana Yearly Meeting Of Friends.
On Sunday Of the week devoted to the
meetings the attendance reaches a climax,
and while the weather was not very IA
vorable to-day, the attendance was quite
large. In many of the local churches the
pulpits were occupied by visiting clergy
men.
A large audience heard the report of the
Christian Endeavor committee Saturday
evening. Morton c. Pierson, of Knights
town, president of the c. f. Union of the
Yearly Meeting, conducted the services.
The report of the junior work and the mis-
sionary work showed these departments
to be in good condition. Walnut Ridge
Quarterly Meeting is ahead of all others
in raising money for missionary support
The young people in some quarterly meet
ings are taking much interest in the study
of the history of Friends Money to be
raised this year will be forwarded to the
help of the work of George Levering in
Mexico, and that of Ray Holding in Cuba,
and the Christian Endeavor societies of the
Yearly Meeting are expected to contribute
largely, and to remember these two mis-
sonaries especially. Theodore Mattix, of
Cincinnati, presented the union with $25,
which was gladly received The following
officers were appointed to serve the coming
year: President, Morton G. Pierson,
Knishtstown; secretary and treasurer,
Dorothy Luther, Fairmount; missionary
superintendent, Mary j. Ballard, Rich
mond; junior superintendent, Eta Haisley,
Marion; executive committee, the officers,

inertia that has marked it in all parts of
the Yearly Meeting will soon be thrown
off and that an era of much useful activity
is coming on.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 5.-The action of
Admiral Casey in giving notice of his in
tention to decline to transport combatants,
ammunition or arms across the Isthmus
of Panama is greatly regretted at the
Colombian legation. One member of the
legation staff expressed the opinion that
it would produce most unfavorable i'm
preston among the people of Columbia
should later developments show that Ad-
miral Casey's step has been accurately re-
ported.
Other diplomatic officials. in discussing
the matter, said that Admiral Casey's ac-
ton went further than that OF Commander
Mclean, of the Cincinnati, who permitted
the transportation of troops across the
railroad after they had been disarmed
and under an escort of marines.
A dispatch received at the Colombian
legation from Bogota announces an official
declaration of peace in four of the depart
ments of the republic. Preparations are
making in Colombia for the election of a
Congress to deal with the Panama canal
and other important subjects. and the off,
cial announcement Of the peace is a pre-
liminary step to the election of members of
Congress.

FIRST SESSION HELD.
The National Encampment Is Opened
with Religious Exercises.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The thirty-sixth
annual encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic will begin here tomorrow,
and, with the meetings of the various
auxiliary organizations affiliated with the
main body, will continue until next Sat-
urday. Preparations for the gathering are
complete, and Washington is ready to en-
tertain the almost countless throng which
will make the city its headquarters during
the week. The local committees have taken
every precaution for the protection of life
and limb and the housing of those who will
be unable to find hotel accommodations
For INDECENT veterans large tents have been
erected on the White Lot and several floors
of the new government printing office have
been utilized. Great crowds of visitors
have been pouring into the city throughout
the day, and at the railroad stations it is
said that the number of persons coming
to the encampment is perhaps greater than
ever before brought to the city on any oc-
casion.
Early last night ii began to rain and this
forenoon it poured in torrents, later giving
way to a slow drizzle. Probably fair
weather is predicted by the Weather Bu-
reau for tomorrow.
lne DuSlucSS HOuccS private resi-
dences along Pennsylvania avenue and the
other main thoroughfares of the city have
been appropriately decorated for the en-
campment season. The display of flags and
bunting in very gorgeous.
Tomorrow there will be an automobile
parade, regatta on the Potomac river.
the dedication of Camp Roosevelt on the
White Lot, at which Secretary of State
John Hay will make the chief address, and
a grand camp fire at Convention Hall.
Tuesday the naval parade will take UP
the morning, while the afternoon and even
ing are to be devoted TO receptions and re-
unions.
On Wednesday the big parade of the
Grand Army of the Republic will take
place, while in the evening a number of re-
ceptions will be held.
Much regret is being expressed that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not review the parade
at which IL was expected ne would occupy
the reviewing stand in front of the White
House. The official statement issued last
night that he would have to exercise ex-
treme care indicated that Ii would be i'm
possible for him to review the veterans
and the direct statement that he will not
do so was made on official authority to-day
The President has not yet been able to rest
his foot on the floor. and his physicians
have forbidden him again to overtax his
strength as he did during the past week
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday the
meetings OF the naval encampment and the
various auxiliary bodies will be held, and
there will be also reunions and receptions.

ing for him, and on all the trains people
were warned not TO go on the platforms
between Amberg and Pembina.

STRUCTURES ON FUNSTON.
Anti-Saloon League President Inti-
mates the General Is incompetent.

SPRINGFIELD. o.. Oct. 5.-Edwin Din
widdie, president of the American Anti
saloon League, gave out the following
statement with reference to the attitude
of the league on the army canteen:
IF such reports as published from Gen
eral Fusion are correct, two things are
apparent: First That the canteen or beer
selling army saloons so debauched men
in service that these conditions of drunken
ness and disorder exist not by reason OF
it's abolition, but because its presence dur
ing twelve years has had demoralizing
effects on officers and men. Second, when
generals and commanding officers are
ready to state that they cannot maintain
discipline without a beer saloon il is GER
tain proof of incompetency.
I'VE demand a fair trial of the post ex-
change system with the canteen elimi-
mated. Congress appropriated 100000 TO i'm
prove the mems condition and added cents
daily to their rations, a laudable change
in the governments policy. The people will
never consent to a reutrn of the canteen
without a trial of this substitute"

ANOTHER CHICAGO STRIKE.


CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Unless the pleadings
of the teamsters' joint council should be
needed, 1,40o members of the Railway Ex-
press Drivers Union will go on strike to-
morrow morning. The members of the
union at a meeting this afternoon, by
practically unanimous vote, decided to call
an immediate strike, and their action was
reported to the joint council tonight for
Endorsement The council refused to sane
ton immediate strike, and asked the
men TO postpone action for ten days, dur
ing which further efforts might be made
to bring about a peaceable solution of the
trouble.
The strike, which was voted to-day, is
aimed at all the express companies doing
business in Chicago. The companies refuse
to recognize the union or to pay the scale
demanded by the men. The men, on the
other hand, insist that their demands shall
be met. Neither side appears to be willing
to recede from the position II has taken.
