Numerous Events Tuesday at National
Encampment.

Encampment.
Washington, Oct. S.-The veterans
Of the Grand Army of the Republic
and their friends were entertained
Tuesday by parade given in honor OF
the naval veterans and by a number
OF reunions held in the big assembly
tents at Camp Roosevelt. The weather
was threatening during the early
morning, but the sun burst through
the clouds about noon, so that with
the mild temperature which prevailed
there was no reason for complaint on
that score.
The attendance had steadily in.
creased during the day and last night
the city was crowded as 1t has been
only on very rare occasions. The
naval parade of the forenoon was not
as large as many that have been seen
IN Washington, but 1t was in every
way interesting. The veterans of the
navy each appeared to be an embodi-
ment of much of the nations recent
history and every squad Of them was
an object Of interested observation.
They were generally old men, and
many bore evidences of wounds re-
ceived in battle.
During the day the Sons of Veterans
began their encampment. A monu-
ment to the late General Horatio
Wright, at one time commander of the
Sixth army corps, was unveiled at Ar
lington.

STRIKE IN ALABAMA.
Question of Paying Dues to Support
Anthracite Diggers Caused II.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. IA major
ity of the miners of the Tennessee
Coal, Iron & Railway Co., in the Blue
Creek district, decided yesterday af-
ternoon to go out on a strike, in ac-
cordance with the orders from the Of
ficers of the miners union.
Eight hundred men are involved.
This closes all the principal mines of
the Tennessee company, where con-
Wet labor is not employed.
The trouble arose in this way. Some
of the miners were willing to pay
dollar apiece a week for the support
Of the striking anthracite miners and
some were not. The men who were
willing to pay the money were in
majority and they made demand on
the officers of the company that the
men who would not pay up to the
union should either have the money
taken out of their wages or be dis.
charged. The company declines to dc
this, and the strike is on.

Beaumont, Tex, Oct. S.-Another
great fire, more disastrous than the
confagration of few weeks ago, Is
sweeping over the oil fields here and
has already caused the oss of twelve
or more lives and entailing a property
loss of several thousand dollars.
The fire was. discovered shortly be-
fore IL o'clock, and with remarkable
rapidity it spread to the many der
ricks in the Hogg-Swayne tract. The
encroachment of the flames was so
rapid that many people were caught
in the fiery path, and at midnight it
was known that twelve persons have
persisted, and the fatalities may reach
twenty.
The entire Hogg-Swayne tract CON-
prising one of the largest sections in
the oil fields, in all probability will be
burned. Forty or more of the large
derricks have been destroyed by the
flames. At this hour (midnight) the
fire is spreading and the property loss
will be heavy. The entire oil field pre-
sents brilliant spectacle as the
flames grow brighter and brighter.
