,Peking, Sept. 81 Surprise has
been caused in Peking by the appear

wholesale charges of grating and
inefficiency in the management OF
the railway from Peking to Kalgan,
a line that has been the pride of the
Chinese people ever since it was
built in 1909 and which from the
first days of it's operation has been
remarkably profitable. The road was
constructed under the direction OF
Chinese engineers and has been OPP
Grated entirely by Chinese. factors
which made the people particularly
proud of the enterprise. The line IS
the gateway to Mongolia; displacing
the camels and donkeys which for
merly brought wool and other pro-
ducts to the capital.
According to the report OF the
minister of communications there
have been gross irregularities in the
purchase of coal for the railroad, In
the sale of passenger tickets, and in
the extortion Of private and illegal
profits from merchants by railway
employees.
President Yuan Shi-kai's order
based on the report of the minister
of communications, says: "It is i'm

way discipline has been set al

FINAL ARRANGEMENTS
FOR G.. A. R. ENCAMPMENT
(By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., Sept. al
Final arrangements for the reception
and entertainment of the Grand
Army veterans at their 49th annual
during the week OF
Sept. q have now been completed.
TO correct any impression which
might be gained by the association
of ideas, 1t should be stated that the
encampment Is not to be tented af
fair The reunion will nut be held
under canvas as has been the case
with these affairs in many cities.
Instead, the Washington Citizens
committee has provided, for the use
of the veterans, building adequate
ly adapted for the purposes Of the
encampment and having, with the
exception of the capitol itself, the
largest ground floor space of any
structure in the city. This build
ing is the one in which the last CEN
sus was compiled and stands on
First street, adjoining the Capitol
Plaza. The main floor Is divided
into two mammoth auditoriums in
one of which the big reception on
Tuesday night and the regular busi-
ness session Of the encampment will
be held. The other has been set
aside for camp fires and the dog
Aol, thn On fnO
floor above, there is a row Of twenty
or more rooms wherein the various
corps and departments will have
their individual headquarters
throughout the reunion. Rooms have
also been assigned to be used as
Headquarters by the military and
semi-military organizations allied
with the Grand Army, so that all OF
the proceedings held in connection
with the encampment will be under
enc roof.
A feature of the arrangements
never heretofore provided will be a
branch postoffice established In the
encampment building to which will
be assigned by the postmaster or
Washington force of clerks who
vii, handle all incoming and out
going mail for the veterans, and all
correspondence intended for the vis-
itors should be addressed to the en-
campment headquarters. Rest room.
restaurant, hospital and other ap-
pointments and equipments neces-
sary for the comfort and convenience
OF the old soldiers have been in
stalled in the building.
The interior of the structure has
been made to present most attrac-
tive appearance by force of deco
rators which the WASHINGTON com
r,ittee has brought from New York
10 give an artistic touch to the en-
campment.
At this writing the weather bu-
reau officials, judging the future by
the past have given 1t as their opin-
ion that ideal climatic conditions
will prevail in Washington during
encampment week. and in view OF
all the preparations and arrange
ments which have been made, this Is
all that is needed to make the forth
coming encampment the most mem
orable one in the history OF the
Grand Army.
