A LETTER ADDRESSED TO G. A. R. MEN BY THE CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE—PREPARATIONS FOR THE TRIP OF THE INVITATION COMMITTEE TO DE- TRorr. The execntive committee representing the citizens of Washington have had prepared and will send out in neat form to members of the national encampment the following circular of invitation to the Grand Army of the Republic to hold its national encampment in this city in 1892: The citizens of Washington, the capital of the nation, extend to the Grand Army of the Republie a hearty invitation to id ite national encampment in 1892 in this city. It is needless to speak of the welcome the veterans of the Union will receive when they come to Washington. There is no city in the World that would not bo proud to receive them and there is no city in the land which Washing- ton would it to outdo it in honoring and entortaining the Grand Army. The citizens of Sgshiagton were glad enough when the bors in blue“tamethere in 1861. They will mi them feel more than welcome if they will come again in 18%2—come again and see a city that is, four times as large as then and a thousand times as beautiful. Asan carnest of their hospitable intentions an ample guarantee fund n subscribed to provide for appropriate enter- tainment of members of the encampment and for the usual expenses of such assemblages. ‘This invitation is extended with a belief on the part of the citizens that, great as is their desire to welcome to their homes the men who fought for the Union, there are many thousands of veterans who have a desire equally as strong to visit Washington and the battlefields in its vicinity—ground consecrated by the valor of the soldiers of the Union. Washington is the capital of the nation. It is the most beautiful city on the continent. It is stored with objects of patriotic interest, and while the attractions of its public buildings, its beautiful street, its parks and monu- ments, its musoums and the presence of the government appeal strongly to all classes, there are historic associations that put Washington far beyond comparison with other cities in the interest of the veteran of the war. On every hill around it are the foot- rints of the war. A few miles away is the eld of Bull Run, where the soldiers of the Union got their first stern lesson in war. Itis but pleasant day's excursion to the field of Antietam. It is a short and easy jour- ney to the great battle ground of Gettysburg, where the thie of war was turned. Washington is at the center of an historic region whose townsand streams bear names thatcallup vivid memories of battle. In this region, all within the radius of a day's journey, lie all the famous fields on which the Army of the Potomac fought its great battles, from Bull Run to Appomattox. An inviting steamboat ride down the river and bay, past miny points of historic interest, in- cluding Mt. Vernon and the tomb of Washing- ton, brings one to tog) jor Roads, where the Monitor and Merrimac fought and ‘naval war- fare was revolutionized, ‘Then the ground of ail of McClellan's opera- tions against Richmond in 1862—Yorktown, Seven Pines, Fair Oake, Gaines’ Mill, the seven days’ battle, Savage Station and Malvern Hill, be easily reached and traversed from ington jericksburg and Chancellors- ie memory are close at hand. ‘Then the men who were with Grant in 1864 and 1865! ‘They oan visit again the wilderness where such hot fighting was done—Spottsylvania Court House, Cold Harbor, Five Forks and all the fields where the great captain commanded, and Hichmond, whose fall signaled the death of the 001 cy. ‘Near by is Harper's Ferry, tooming with ite war associations, and the Shenandoah valley, quite as famous for its memories of Sheridan and his men as for its beauty, lies within the limits of a day's excursion. The city ith Arlington and other great national cemeteries, with its mouuments to great commanders, whose names are held in loving memory by veterans, is filled with me- morials of the war. Aside from these attractions which places Washington beyond comparison as a place of interest to the suldier of the Union, the city offers inducements which no other city can equal. Its famous streets and avenues, broad and beautifully shaded, with 200 miles of asphalt pavements, offer unrivaled facilities for marching. Spacious and well-kept hotels pro- vide an accommodation for a vast army. are a thonsand objects of interest here, aside from war memorials, which would make a visit to the capital something to be remembered with the keenest pleasure. ‘The railroad companies propcse a series of excursions to the battle fields and places of note surrounding Washington and have agreed to reduce their rates to the very minimum. The hotels and boarding houses, with which Washington is better supplied than any other city in the country, vance prices beyond re fear need be entertaine tes of any extortion or imposition upon our visitors on the part of the hotels, boarding houses or any one ‘The citizens offer a hearty welcome to their lendid city, and it can be safely predicted that if the ‘eneampment is held Bere amides such impressive surroundings it will be the most notable reunion of veterans of any war ever held im any city of the world.

A. R at thelr annual encamp- ment at Washington in 1892.” When the subject of raising a subscription to guarantee the proper entertainment of the encampment was first discussed some G. A. R. men suggested that the sum of $4,200 might be raised from the 4.200 G. A. R. men in this city, but the committee decided best to raise its subscriptions entirely from citizens outside the G. A. R. posts, The G. A. R. here will be called upon to do considerabie in the way of entertaining visiting comrades in case the encampmont came here and will not be asked to subscribe to the general fund. Still the G. A.

Representative Clarke of Alabama is in Wash- ington looking after the interests of Mobile in connection with the establishment of the sub- sidy lines of steamers. He called on the Post- master General today to urge that Mobile be made one of the ports from which a line of steamers will run. Speaking with a Stam re- porter he said that they wore going to be able to ship coal from that port cheaper than any- where else in the country. There is a clear Water navigation from the coal fields to the ie says there is not just at this time much litical activity in Alabama, but that they ave promise of a very lively ‘fight when the time comes to elect another congressional delegation. The alliance jeaders, he says, are active and determined. The chances are ‘that they will not go into a third party movement, but will try to capture the democratic organi- zation, “I think,” he says, ‘‘that it is better that they should be kept within the old party organiza- tion. Many of the things they consider im- int issues I do not approve of, but it will 0 less harm if they accomplish’ what they want to in a democratic convention than it would if they bolted the party. They are really democrats and they will come around all right in time, but if they get clear out of the party it will be harder to get them back again. I do not think they can do any real harm as long as they remain in the party. Individuals may suffer. They may re- tire me and others from Con; but the fate of the individual does not count for much. ‘The affairs of the party and of the country will go on as usual,no matter how many new men come inthe places of those who have served before.” EMBARRASSED BY CLEVELAND'S ATTITUDE ON SILVER. Speaking of presidential preference he says: “The people of Alabama have always thought a great deal of Cleveland. Before he wrote his famous silver letter they would not hear of any one else in connection with the nomination. That letter was a shock to them, it is hard to say why: they knew what his position was on question Most of our peo- believe in the free coi of silver and are embarrassed by Mr. Cleveland's attitude. They scarcely know what to do about it. If he is nominated they will all sup- port him. It ishard to tell what may happen Yet. Democratic success in Ohio and lowa inight make s change in the situation. I do not know what to think of the situation in Ohio. Ido not want to be too sanguine. The fric- tion in the democratic party there may prevent Campbell’s being elected. If we were as there are in Towa I no doubt as to the result. Iam Latogyg Marge y! ‘that Boies will be elected in Iowa. at will bring his name prominently to the front as a prob- ability on the national ticket. If Campbell is elected governor of Ohio he will probably aim higher the vice presidency. If he should carry the state by large majority he would probably be the democratic candidate for the “ aoe y in "92. THE OHIO SITUATION. Mr. McConville Thinks It Too Early to Form Any Definite Judgment Hon. Daniel McConville, who was sixth auditor during Mr. Cleveland's administration and has long been one of the most active democratic Politicians of Ohio, said to Star reporter to- day: “It is too early to judge of the possible result in Ohio this fall.

Destructive Rain and Hail Storm in the Northwest. TROOP A AT CHARLESTOWN. ‘TORIES AND HOME RULE, ‘The Attitude of the Irish Party Creates Comment in England. Loxpox, July 22.—The surprising willingness shown by the members of the Irish party in Parliament to accept a local government bill from the tories, and particularly a bill framed by Mr. Balfour, has furnished political circles with an abundance of material for discussion andcomment. Precisely what the bill con- ‘templated by Mr. Balfour will grant to Ireiand is of course a matter of conjecture merely, but if it is broadly based on the lines of the English and the Scotch acts, as the chief secretary has intimated it will be, the Irish members cannot consistently refuse to support it, no matter who may be their leader. It is contended by conservatives members and admitted by Irish commoners that Ireland cannot justly ask for more liberty of action than England and Scotland are content with, and indeed it has all along been asserted by the Irish members that with the same privileges and the same degree of local go rnmeut as England and Scotland enjoy Ireland would be satisfied. The amazing change of attitade of the Irish members toward the government party, and any Irish measure cmanating therefrom is gen- erally ascribed as, no doubt rightly, to the fact that Mr. Parnell is no longer der of the Irish national party or of any considerable por- tion of it. Were Mr. Parnell stillin the possession of the confidence of the entire Irish party as he once was there is no doubt that he would have thrown cold water upon Mr. Balfour's advances and led his followers away from home rule es he has often done before. An Irish member declared in the lobby of the house last evening that the conviction was now dawning upon him as well as upon many of huis collenges Mr. Parnell has actually stood in the way of home rule for several years In the councils of his party he had steadily opposed every suggee- tion of co-operation with the tory party in se- curing some slight advantage for Irelond from time to time, yet when he was repndinted by the liberals and deserted by a large majcrity of the national party he sought to make terms with the conservatives und would have done 60 had he been able to command a respectable foliowing.

Loxnox, July 22—Trwh today prints » startling story of another mutiny in the British army. Strange to remark the fects esem to have been kept quiet up to the present, and stranger still it is again one of the famed foot guard regiments which finds itself in trouble. According to the story in Truth this third serious mutiny among the guards du 0 cocurred im were arranged in bonor of the impevial visitor. This work naturally necessitated aconsiderable amount of extra duty, which was far from being lcanant to the guardsmen, who have Jong oon a, some sapniled pete, of tee Behar. DENIED A DAT OFF. After the departure of the German emperor from London the guards expected to be allowed at least a day free from guard mounting at the palaces, White fall, the Bank or other places ‘which are regularly committed to the guardian ship of the Grenadier Guards, Scots Fusiliers or Coldstream Guards, forming the brigade of foot guards in garrison at Wellington barracks, Chelsea barracks and St. George barracks, Lom don. ‘his day for recuperation, and incident- ally for ths pleasure ot leaving the barracks for 4 brief period, does uot appear to have been granted to the Coldstreams, and » week ago the grambling which this alleged neflect had oeca- ficned ameng the men broke out into serious trouble. Instead of being granted the day off which the Coldstreams expected, and which they considered themselves to be entitied to, the meu were ordered to parade in full mareb- order. fhe feelings of the men upon order can readily be imagined. cursing, and what wa» wore, Mutterings were beard throughout the com- pany rooms of the barracks. The whole bat- talion for a period svemed determined to re fuse to turn out in marching order or in any other order. In fact, the first and com &t first biuntly, positively refused to aud told their non-commissioned officers, could inform the bigher authorities of the determination the privates had arrived at. The non-commissions, with the grenadier mutinies freait in their metorios, had no course left but to report the insubordination referred to. OFFICERS REASON WITH THE MEX. The first and third companies’ oficors when placed in possession of the facts held « bur ried consultation and did not lose wight of the fact that they had before them the prospect of @ term of exile similar to that which the second battalion of the Grenadier Guards was sub- jected to at Bermuda. Now, the officers of the guards are noi supposed to be very willing un- less in time of war to leave the social enjoy- ments of England for the less attractive society of British colonists, be the latter ever so select. ‘The result was that the Coldstreams’ officers repaired to the ccmpany roows anc earnestly, persuasively argaec with the mutinous pri Yates, setting forth to them them the disgrace which had failen upon the Grenadiezs and bold- ing up to them the prospect of being exiled from to say the least, for a period equal to thet imposed upon their comrades, Finally the rebellious privates, still gram! and growing, sulienly consented to purade at were conducted to St. James’ Park in full marching order for their usual drill. But ar rived* upon the parade ground the behavior and bearing of the Coldstreams was so glar- ingly iusubordinate that their officers conceded that it would bo advisable to march them back to Wellington bar- racks. This was done, the men retarning to barracks with the consciousness that they had atleast won a partid victory over their officers. The latter, however, upon arriving at Wellington barracks, issued orders contin- ing their commands to barracks for three days asa punishment for their insubordinate con- duct. in addition to this the Coldstreams’ ticers ordered that the ten senior privates of the mutinous eompanies should be placed under arrest with the view of trying them by for insubordination. BARKICADED THEIR QUARTERS. No sooner did the main body of the excited guardsmen bear of this last order than ninety ‘of them barricaded themselves in a room im the barracks and declined to emerge from it, util promised that the en senior privates should not fare any worse than theit comrades, MUTINEERS FINALLY QUIETED. A considerable time was spent in parleying with the mutineers and then they were finally persuaded, on the ground that they would only make matters worse for all copcerned. to open the door and listen to their officers in am The mutinous recet this aconiings wullen, fierce panic race thar th PREVIOUS MUTINIER The second battalion of Grenadier Guards mutinied at Wellington barracks abouts year or so ago, and were exiled to Bermuds for #0 offices, &c. ‘The’ mutiny of the Coldstreams is another illustration of the ill-fecling and discontent which has been growing in certain corps, at least, of the British army for some time past. Excessive drills, excessive punishieat, exces- sive severity upon the part of their ofticers and non-comm.ssioned olicers, together with small pay, are said te be the causes of this discon wont.
