Ex-WAR PRISONERS.
Col. Walker Elected Commander-in-
Chief BY the Association.

Boston, Aug. 16.-The camp fire of
the National Association of Union Ex-
Prisoners of War was held in fremont
Temple Monday night in connection
with the 32d annual encampment of
the association.
p Col. ]. D. Walker, Of Pittsburg, Pa,
national commander of the associa-
ton, opened the evenings exercises
in a brief address, and introduced
Capt. John A. Read, U. S. N, who pre-
sided. Capt. Read recounted some of
his experiences during an eight
months confinement in a confederate
prison and he declared that the men
who died miserably in military prisons
were as heroic and did as glorious a
work for their country as did those
who charged the enemy in battle.
Much time was taken up with dis
cussion as to whether the ex-prisoners
would rather have medal of honor
or pension from the United States.
A motion asking the United States to
issue special medal of honor to all
those veterans who had been in rebel
prisons was lost, and it was almost
unanimously voted to petition the next
congress to pass bill providing that
every prisoner of war be paid two
dollars for each day he was in
prison.
Late Monday afternoon the asso-
citation held a business meeting and
elected the following officers:
Commander-in-chief, Col. J. B. Walk
er, Pittsburg, Pa; senior vice COM
mander, John Kissain, Cincinnati; /;
junior vice commander, John L. Par
ker, Lynn, Mass; chaplain, Rev. J. C.
Ferguson, Keokuk, Ia.

THE MAYOR FAILED.
Harrison Did Not Bring About Peace
in the Strike.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Mayor Harrison
will attempt to settle the stockyards
strike. He will meet the representa-
tives of the strike and hear their side
of the controversy. Later he will have
a meeting with representatives of the
packers and listen to their statement,
and he will then undertake the task
of reconciling the differences.
Chicago, Aug. 17.-With' the stock
yards strike entering on the sixth
week of its existence Wednesday
morning, peace seems further remov-
ed than ever.
Mayor Harrison's effort Tuesday to
bring about a conference met with a
fiat refusal from the packers. They
insisted that they had the strike bro
ken at all points outside of Chicago
and could not afford to temporize with
the strikers now.
The strike leaders, after learning
the attitude of the packers, decided
they were satisfied with the conditions
and would keep up the fight indefi-
nitely.

THE PYTHIAN KNIGHTS,
Formal Opening of Their Biennia.
Conclave at Louisville, KY.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 16.-A simple
ceremony-the formal transfer of
Camp Marion E. Taylor from the local
executive committee, which has placed
it in readiness, to the Knights of Py-
thias, for whom it was prepared
marked the formal opening of this or
ganization's biennial conclave of 1904.
The exercises occurred at o'clock i'll
the presence of about 10000 people.
Marion E. Taylor, chairman of the
executive committee on arrangements,
formally presented the tented city
which bears his name to Tracy r.
Bangs, supreme chancellor of the
knights, who turned the camp over
to Gen. James r. Carnahan, of Indian
apolis, commanding the uniform rank,
the general speaking briefly in ac
acknowledgement. The adjutant gener-
ais flag was then thrown to the breeze
and the salute fired by Battery A, of
Wheeling, w. Va. Monday night the
electric decorations in the business
district were set ablaZe to the delight
of the thousands which thronged the
streets.
Louisville, KY, Aug. 17.-Under fair
skies 26 brigades of the Uniform Rank
Knights of Pythias, over 10000 strong,
passed in review before the people of
Louisville Tuesday. Over one hun
dred thousand people lined the route
of the parade, three miles in length,
and cheered the militant members of
the order as they marched past in
trim service, uniforms or dress parade
regalia with scarlet plumes and gilt
tering trappings.
Despite a drawback in the number
and the quality of the horses furnish
ed the visitors, which, according to the
general staff, prevented nearly 1000
men from participating, the pageant
was a gorgeous success. Gen. Carna-
han, commander-in-chief, was very
wrathful man when the hour for the
parade drew near and he took note of
the quality of the beasts offered for
mounts.
Look at that plug" he calculated
to sad looking animal whose legs
were garnished with nearly all the
bumps mentioned in the horse book.
IF they expect me to ride they are
mistaken. Tney would egg me out of
the parade if the poor brute could
stagger through it, and this is the
home of the thoroughbred"
At the last moment Gen. -Carnahan
was furnished with a suitable horse,
but three cavalry companies and many
officers were forced to enter the pa
rade unmounted, while others did not
participate at all. Nevertheless there
was magnificent turnout, due largely
to the numbers and appearance of the
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky
brigades. The Philippine constabu-
larry band, which led the parade, was
one of the features, receiving tre-
mendous ovation all along the route.
Tuesday night the grand military
ball of the uniform rank was given at
the Horse Show building, where the
knights and their ladies to the num-
ber of several thousand danced and
paraded.

BLEED BY THE TRUSTS.

Secretary Wilson is of the opinion
that the trusts are getting the better
Of the people in the matter of beef
prices. In commenting upon the sub
ject the other day the secretary said:
Enormous profits are being made
by some one between the producer Of
beef and the consumer. Either the
farmer is getting too little for his beef
or the consumer is paying too much.
The packers and the retailers and
through their hired men or agents. are
getting enormous profits. Fat cattle
are not so dear as they were a few
years ago, and there are good reasons
why they should not be. Yet the re-
tail price of beef is about the same as
when cattle on the hoof were selling
at fancy figures. Beef should be 20 per
cent cheaper to the consumer than it
is now"
The Iowa delegation in congress is
becoming quite active in legislation
against the trust. One member has
introduced a bill which he believes
will curb the operations of the packers.
but it is extremely doubtful if they can
be reached through legislation. To
bust trusts opposition trusts must be
organized. or else they must be taxed
out of existence. as suggested by the
American Bar association. Organiza-
tons of capital appear to have no re-
gard whatever for the rights of others.
