sessions of the Grand Army of the Re-
public commenced early today in the
auditorium at Eleventh street and Mic

are to be taken up during the meeting
OF the delegate body are the abolition
of the canteen from the old soldiers
homes and the proposed erection of a
monument TO HenTy Wirz by the wo-
men of the south. On the question of
tha monument to Wirz there is on all
sides a most bitter feeling of opposi-

is of the opinion that the erection of
the monument to such character as
WIrz is rot seriously contemplated by
the southern women.

comnenced at 10 o'clock, was occu-
pied by the formal opening exercises
and the proceedings then waited upon
the report of TIE committee on creden-
tlals. When this was presented and

FIGHTING ELEMENT ARE BEING
MADE GOOD.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 16.-The war Of
terrorism which the fighting organiza-

clared Immediately after parliament
was dissolved seems now to have be-
gun In earnest From all parts OF
the empire the telegraph brings the
same story OF attacks on the police Of
hcials of all classes accompanied I'm
the majority of cases by plumber.
The Polish revolutionists are espec-
laliy active. There is a veritable
reign of terror from Vistul to the Ger
man frontier. Almost fifty cases of
assassination were reported early last
night
The Novoe Vremya today heads its
list Of murders and other crimes:
st. Bartholomew night in the land"
The resumption Of the terroristic
activity renders the task of the gov
ernment more difficult and darkens
the prospects of the present ministry
In accomplishing anything in the d.
rection of an amelioration of the situ-
alton.

London, Aug. 15.-Mr. Metaxas, the
Greek minister to Great Britain. in
the course Of an interview here today
said that the statements tending to
put the responsibility on the Greeks
for the Ahiolu disturbances are abso-

minister said, that on July 29 the
Greek diplomatic agent at Sofia was
informed by the Greek consuls at Bur-
gas and Rustchuk that very serious
disorders would occur at Ahiolu and
other towns. He Immediately inform

to prevent disorders. Similar indfffer
ence has been displayed in all the
towns which have been the scenes OF
such cruel outrages."
