and the girl had to wear the cuffs un-

reached Long Beach.
Stackpole was then hurried out In
the hall and down the steps. The
women and men pressed closely after
him and were ordered back by the
bailiff, who threatened to use billy
on them.
The women would make detours, run.

canteen Question squeIched

A delegate from Wisconsin attempted
to bring up the canteen question, but
was squelched summarily, the whole
question being laid on the table at
once.
Adam f. Ketchem of indianapolis
presented q minority report from the
committee on resolutions, which had
been silent on the question of the pro-
posed statue to Wirz.
He moved that an address should be
sent to Gen.sN. d. Lee, commander of
the Southern Veterans association,
asking that he use his influence against
the project.
Mr.. Ketchem spoke for thirty min
utes in favor of his motion, and was
followed by Past Commander Terrence
of Indianapolis, who declared that the
Grand Army should not take cogni-
zance of the question at this time.
Both speakers were loudly cheered
as We're others who spoke on the
question. Commander in Chief Tanner.
who had urged in his report that a
protest should be made against the
statue, gave up the chair to make an
impassioned appeal from the floor, in
spite of the minority report of Mr.
Ketchem, which was in line with the
suggestion made in his report. The
debate grew very warm. and a few
personalities were indulged I'm.

the secretary of war to purchase the
ground on which monuments have
been erected on the battlefield of Bull
Run, and asking that statistics as ac-
curate as possible of the mortality in
southern prisons be issued by the gov
