C. A, R. MEETING
THOUSANDS OF OLD BLUES
 GATHER. Minneapolis Is Gayly Decorated In Honor of Re-Union and All Stores VIII Close During the
 Parade.


 Minneapolis, Aug. 1S-The rush of visitors to this city for the annual en- campment of the Grand Army of the Republic continues unabated and from the present prospects the meeting will be one of the most successful held bv the Grand Army
 According tos the estimates of rail- road men fully 100000 people have SO far arrived, and dozens of trains run ming in two and three sections are still on the way.
 The city is decorated as though ey- cry man had made it his personal business to see that Minneapolis look ed her very best Flags and bunting are everywhere seen from roofs of sidewalks, and banners are swung in endless profusion across the streets.
 The decorationsy lavish as they now seem. are still in progress and they will be increased unti the morning of Wednesday, when all the business of the city will close in honor of the great parade.
 The contest for national commander Is growing warmer, although no great amount of electioneering has so far been done. The friends of Captain P. H. Coney, of Kansas. are making what Is outwardly the most aggressive cam paign and claim to be fairly confident of the election of their man. Other can didates whose names are being strong ly pushed are R. B. Brown, of zanes- vile, Ohio, and Charles c. Burton of Missouri. There is no contest worth mentioning for any of the minor offices.
 It is expected that considerable de- bate will result over the law recently passed by Congress driving the can teen out of the old soldiers homes Commander-in-Ch Tanner Is in fa vor of the adoption of resolution de- Erecating the purpose of this law. but a strong element in the organization is against such action.
 Another feature that may crop m is the old fight over the proposed erection by the women of the South of a statue of Henry Wirz. noted for his alleged mistreatment of Federals while in command at Andersonville prison.
 This matter came up in 1901 and has been kept alive ever since All mem bers of the Grand Army are vehement ly opposed to the erection of a statue to Wirz, who was hanged for his al- legged crimes, but many of them de- clare that in their opinion the Inten- tion to erect the statue is not serious
 The social features of the encamp- ment which are numbered by the hun dred, commenced today with regimentaI reunions and a reception given by Gov ernor Johnson at the new Capital in St. Paul to the visiting veterans.
 In the receiving line by the side of Governor Johnson stood Commander Tanner and other notables of the State and of the Grand Army. E. w. Tilden of Antelope County, Neb., an old sol- dier, died today of fatigue induced by the journey from his home. He be- came i'll on the train and upon his ar rival here he was taken to the emer- genoy hospital. and later to the home of relatives, where he died.
 The program for tomorrow consists largely of receptions and business meet ipgs by numerous aflliated societies and reunions of various regiments

 OF MR. BRYAN He Replies to Roger
 Sullivan. ANSWER IS VERY PEPPERY Democratic Leader Gives Out
 Views in Paris. Says His Information Was Not Secured From Dunlap and Is Glad Com- mitteeman win Fight the

Paris. August 13--WiIliam Jennings Bryan today gave out a statement con cerning a controversy respecting the Illinois democratic national committee
 man.
 The controversy has grown out Of
 Mir. Bryan's letter demanding the re- sfgnation of national committeeman Roger Sullivan. to which demand MT. Sullivan returned a prompt refusal,
 stating that Mr Bfyan had been mis-
 informed respecting the situation by
 Mr. Dunlap.
 Mir. Bryan's rejoinder says that no one but himself is responsible for the information contained in his letter and
 that he had intended to ask MT. sul-
 livan to resign before he should see Mr. Dunlap. Mir. Bryan added: T entered into this contest because
 I believed that Roger Sullivan and
 John Hopkins had deliberately robbed
 the democrats of Illinois of their poli-
 teal right and I still believe so. To
 secure the political power by force or by fraud ought to be disgracefuI in
 the eyes cf the public as to secure
 money by force CT fraud. T cannot conceive of any plausible defence which MT. Sullivan can make
 for remaining on the national commit tee. If the body Is unable to rid It. self of the leadership of men like sulli- van, who seek to control the party organization in order to advance their corporate interests, 1t might as well dissolve.
 While I was anxious to give Sulli- van chance to retire without fight. 1t 1 Is probably just as well that he fefus- ed for If we must fight to purify the party organization, the sooner 1t be- gins, the better"
 The statement adds an expression of confidence and approval on the work
 of the majority rule league and of
 Messrs. Dunlap, Rainey, Thompson and Nelson.
 The controversy between Mir. Bryan and Mir Sullivan grows out of con test for seats in the national demo- cratic convention at St, Louis, in 1904,
 when against the protests of MT. Bryan, the Illinois delegation. led by Messrs- Hopkins and Sullivan was seated.

RELIEVES FATHER DEAD.

Theodore sfensIand Thinks President
 Has Taken His Own Life.
 Chicago, Aug. 1s.-The Tribune today says:
 Theodore Stensland. son of the fugi- tive Milwaukee Avenue Bank presi- dent. made last night full statement of. his knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the flight of his father and touching the collosai forgery fraud in the bank.
 Tn a frank narration of the manner in which the great scandal was made known to him, young Stensland not only denied that he ever had knowledge of the plot, before August last, but submitted various proofs with which he expects to substantiate his story when led before a jury He declares absolutely that he was not only ignor- ant of the steals pepetrated, but that he never profited in any way from them.
 The young man advanced the belief that his father has not fled the coun- try,but has committed suicide. He also advanced the theory that his father coul not himself, have committed forg- cries of notes because of an impeachment in his control of the pen in recent years
  w Herring could not have suficiently disguised his own distinctive chiro- graphy to perform the limitations and thaN therefore. an outside expert was employed for the purpose of copying signatures on blank checks.
 It became known last night that young Stensland late on Saturday had given to Receiver John c. Fetzer for the benefit of the bank depositors deed 10 all the Cook county real estate held by his father, who had given him a power of attorney. The property is estimated to be worth $650,000.
 The fugitive bankers son was found at down town hotel. where he is stay ing preparatory to surrendering him self today to the sheriff on the bench warrant for conspiracy, In which he was included with Paul 0. stensiand and Cashier Herring.

 Washed Away.

Meridian, Miss. Aug Is,-The loss of two lives has already been reported as the result of storm which preci- pitated nearly four inches of rain with Tn an hour this afternoon and did thousands of dollars damage to prop erty.
 William Barton. s-year-old boy. was struck by lightning and killed and a negro was caught and drowned in the rise of small creek near the city Tn outlying portions of Meridian. scores of women and children were driven from their homes, and in parts of the business section water rose to a depth of more than a foot on the floors of stores.
 So swift a current of water flowed through one of the down town streets that the wooden pavement was washed away for a space of several blocks The storm wns apparently confined to the immediate neighborhood of Meridian.
 Although streams about the city arc over their banks, no washouts on rail- road property have yet been reported.

As the average wages per hour increas- ed more than the retail prices of food, the purchasing power of wages in- creased In 1905 the purchasing power of both hourly and weekly wages was 1 per cent higher than in 1904; or, ex- pressed in other words, one hour g wages in 1905 would purchase 1 per cen. more food than one hours wages in 1904.
 The average wages per hour in 1905 were 1S9 per cent. higher than the 1890 to 1899. inclusive The number of employees was 3s.s per cent great CT and the average hours of labor per week were Al per cent. lower. The average earnings per week in 1905 were fourteen per cent. higher than the average earnings per week during the ten years from 1890 to 1899. The ag- sgregate weekly earnings of all em- p1oyes, that is the total amount of the pay rolls, were 523 per cent. higher in 1905 than the average Curing the ten years period named
 The retail price of principal articles of food. weighted accorded to family consumption of various articles was 12.4 per cent higher in 1905 than for the ten year average.
 The average wages per hour fin 1905 were 21.5 per cent. higher than 1894, tho year of lowest wages during the period covered and weekly earn ings were 16.7 per cent higher. The purchasing power of an hours wages was greater in 1905 than in any other year covered by this investigation, being IT per cent greater than in 1894, the year of lowest wages. and Is per cent. greater than in 1s96, the year of lowest retail prices. The pur- chasing power of a weeks wages in 1905 was 3.5 per cent. greater than in 1894, but 2.7 per cent. less than in 1896.
 In making the inquiry the labor bu- reau attempted to cover only the la dustries in which the wages paid in the United States In one year were s10,oe0.000 or more.

The flames grew brighter. the bag began to waver, and 1t seemed to collapse when about fifty feet from the ground and settle down. a mass of smoke and fire.
 Both men clung to the burning bas- kat until they were near the ground Noss had climbed on the outside and huns by his hands, but Ellinquist re- mained in the basket with his head bent forward. trying to escape the fiery draughts
