Dan Macauley, the new appointment clerk of the Treasury Department, is very san- guine of the success of Washington's efforts to obtain the next G. AR encampment. “You see,” said he this morning toa Stan reporter, “Washington is the most appropriate place in the country for the encampment, and nothing on earth can prevent its com- mg here if the town wante it. The Grand Army is at the climax of its power and effectiveness, and the next encampment will probably be the largest and the grandest ithas ever held. There must come a decline, and it is but reavonable to suppose that it will come before long. There are cycles of time and of life, and there is but one possibility when an organization is composed of men who were associated in the same sort of effort in the prime of their lives » quarter of a century ago. There is but one place for twenty-sixth encampment, and that this ‘city, which not only has every attraction for the veterans in the way of battlé- fields near at hand, ut is also one of the most beuatiful spots on the globe. Why, the thing is certain. Yes, I know that the committee is hustling and working hard, but the Grand Army would come here if you only sent a deat- and-dumb committee to Detroit. All it wante is a bidding.” ——— THE CITY POST OFFICE SITE. Acquisition of Title Expected to Be Com- pleted by September. The process of the acquisition of the title to the square opposite Tur Stax office for the new city post office building is nearing an end. It is quite likely that by the Ist of September the title to the entire square will be #0 com- pleted as to enable the supervising architect of the Treasury Department to begin work on the plans. Mr. Hugh Taggart, the assistant United States attorney, who has charge of the original examination of the titles, said toa Stan re- porter this morning that he expected to be able to finish his work on this case within ten days. There are some cases where the title to the land is in question, and in such instances the money for the property will have to be held in trust by the government until thecourtscan adjudge the proper owner an2 name the legal recipient of the purchase fund. NEED NOT DELAY THE BUILDING. It is 80 provided by law, however, that such ‘8 process need not delay the ultimato steps of the government to erect the building ir the least. The statutes are explicit in stating that when there is « dispute as to title the payment of mont into court or elsewhere that may be stipulated shall be deemed a suficient vesting of the title to enable the Treasury Department legally to take the first steps of construction. ‘This authority may be found in a clause of the act of September 11, 1841, and June 23, 1874, There ie also a specific act in this instance which covers this phase of the case, namely, the act of August 30, 1890, which was one of the series of laws go erning the selection and p of the square for the post office building. ‘This act stipulates ax to the approval of the report of the commission of condemnation by the court and the President, and then says: HOW PAYMENTS ABE TO BE MADE. “Payments are to be made to the respective persons entitled according to the judgment of the court, and in case any of such persons are under disability or cannot be found or lect to receive payment, the money to be petd tv any of them shall be ber secyges in the treasury to their credit, unless there shall be some per- son lawfully authorized to receive the same under the direction of the court, and when such payments are 60 , or the amounts belonging to persons to whom ge shall not be made are so deposited, the said lands shall be deemed to be condemned and taken by the United States for the public use.” It was stated at the supervising architect's office this morning that upon the receipt of proper advices from the United States district attorney through the Attoruey General, with a statement from the latter in regard to such casos as those above referred to, the Treasury Department will proceed at once to comply with this provision and cam then proceed with the preparation of plans. —__—-2._____ Rexrasz or Isnnionaxts.—Mr. Owen, mper- intendent of immigration, has directed the release of thirteen Russian Jews detained at Baltimore on “suspicion” on their furnishing bonds that they will not become a public charge Carr. Purr Hicusonx, naval constructor, has returned to the city from his vacation, which he spent in Charleston, Mass. Heisnow acting as chief of the bureau of construction in the absence of the chief constructor, who is away on leave. ee Tux Russtax Rovsie.—Assistant Secretary Nettleton has instructed the collector of cus- toms at Boston that the official certificate of the United States consul as to the comparative value of the silver rouble of Russia is to be taken in all importations of Russian wool in preference to the tables of value pubiished in the Russian Economist. Tax Daxviie Burpixe Srre.—Assistant Secretary Crounse has selected the property at the northwest corner of Harrison and Vermil- lion strom Danville IL, as the site for the public building to be erected in that city. The property is owned by Chas, F. Yeomans and whas. Bubl, and was offered for $16,500. Ix THE CLAssIFTEp SERvice.—The post offices at Allegheny, Pa., Paterson, N. J., Portland, Oreg., and Scranton, Pa, have been certified to the vil service commission as having exch more than fifty employes. This places them in the classified postal service and under the workings of the civil service law. ‘This addi- tion of four post offices brings the list of offices under the civil service law up to aneven WORK OF THE PATENT OFFICE. Ex-Commissioner Mitchell's Report of the Operations During the Last Fiscal Year. Mr. C. E. Mitchell, whose resignationas com- missioner of patents went into effect a few days ago, prepared a report of the operations of the patent office for the past year, which has been transmitted to the Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Mitchell calls attention to the increase in the number. of applications for patents each year and gives a table which shows that the number of applications for the year 1887 was 38,408, and that this num- ber shows a gradual increase for each of the en- suing years. Last year the number received ‘was 43,616. In 1887 there were 7,601 applica- tions awaiting action, and last year the num- ber was8,91i. The receipts for last year amounted to $1,302,794, while the expenditures were $1,145,502. Owing to the increase in the number of applications for the past two years, the commissioner says that the office has been call upon to consider and dispose of 10,000 more cases than would have been considered if the applications had not exceeded the average, 98,735, for the years 1838 and 1889. 200D WORK OF THE FORCE. He thinks that it is creditable to the office force that without any increase in its number the number of cases on hand for action was 80 slightly in excess of that of the former year. He refers to the provision made by Con- s for two new examining divisions and for an increase in the examining and clerical force and expresses the opinion that the foree thus increased is sufficient to meet the present and immediately prospective needs of the office. He renews the recommendation of his last annual report relative to an increase in the salaries of principal examiners and of the chief clerk and of copyists. He also renews his sug- gestions in regard to needed legislation. The report refers to the patent celebration held im thls city last April’ and. the opinion ie ex ressod that it will result ina widespread and intelligent interest in all that concerns in- ventors and inventions. cintighmanck GSE THE COMING SCIENTISTS. Local Comi Getting Ready to Enter- tain the Visiting Delegates. The arrangements for the big meeting of the American Society for the Advancement of Science during the latter half of this month are in adecidedly progressive stage. The as- sociation meets between August 17 and Septem- ber 2, and so far ascan be gathered from the encouraging letters and reports received there will be an attendance of something like a thou- sand. Interest in the event is greatly heightened by the fact that about the same time there will be meetings in the city of a number of kindred although entirely separate organizations. The American Microscopical Society meets August 11 and 12.

THE BEST KNOWN ASSOCIATION. The American Society for the Advancement of Science is one of the best known and most useful associations of scientific men in the world. The meeting here is the fortieth meet- ing of the society, and since its real fcrmatic it has never met ir. Washington. The prelimi- nary formation, however, was mad» in this city. The different local committees have been and are hard at work preparing for the mect- ing. The association, as well asall the other bodies, will hold ite meetings in the buildings of the Columbian University. The committee on finance, of which Gardiner G. Hubbard is the chairman, has practically completed its labors, which in the main con- stituted the raising of the necessary funds for the affair. The funds were raised by i tion, and among the scientific men About 2,000 has been raised and $1,000 would come in so handy that an effort is being made to raise it. The work of the printing committee, of which Richard Rathbone is chairman, will not begin to any extent until the meeting com- mences. Everett Hayden is chairman of the commit- tee on excursions, which has been making agreements and arranging terms for the various excursions contemplated by the association. The railroad committee has Henry Gannett as chairman and mainly through correspond- ence has arranged for satisfactory rates from most of the roads. Prof. F. W. Clark and his fellow members on the committee on hotels have arranged for special rates with many of the city hotels. Prof. Mendenhall, on account of his absence from the city, has been compelled to resign the chairmanship of the committee on reception.

IN LINE. The Largest Parade in the History of the G. A. R. TODAY'S SPECTACLE AT DEROM. Indications Point to Washington's Obtaini: ig the Encampment. THE FIGHT FOR COMMANDER. WASHINGTON IN LINE. ‘The Capital City Creditably Represented at Detroit Today. Special Dispatch to Tax EvEwine Stan. Derxorr, Micu., August 4.—This is Detroit's great day. All night the sound of fife and drum and the tread of marching bodies were heard in the streets. Today the great parade of veterans, a line many miles long, is moving. There are over 40,000 men in ti line, all proudly wearing the Grand Army blue, and fully 200,000 strangers in the city crowded with Detroit's own population along sidewalks, in balconies and in observation stands along the route. ‘The departments are arranged in the line ac- cording to the dates of their organization. The Porte “from Illinois, the birthplace of the Grand Army, had the first place. THE MEX FROM WASHINGTON. ‘The Department of the Potomac, under this rule, was fourteenth in line. The Old Guard, headed by the Third Artillery Band, marched | as escort of the department. ‘The Old Guard had fifty-six men in line, commanded by Capt. James M. Edgar and Lieuts. Samuel M. Gor- @6x, Albert H. Vandeusen and RK. Emmet Smith, jr. The color guard of the command, composed of ten one-armed veterans, was a unique feature, which, with the soldierly bear- ing and good marching of the men, made the Old Guard conspicuous. There were about 250 men marching under the colors of the Department of the Potomac. The department officers, J. M. Pipes, commander; A. F. Dinsmore, e¢hior vice commander; A. 8. Taber, junior vice com- mander; Jobr P. Church, assistant adjutant general; M. T. Anderson, assistant quarter- master general, and others of the staff were in place. There were twelve past department commanders in the line. ‘They were Frank H. Sprague, Benjamin F. Hawkes, A. H. G. Rich- ardson, George E. Corson, Harrison Dingman, Charies C. Royce, William Gibson, Samuel 8. Burdett, Jerome B. Burke, Chas. P. Lincoln, Wm. 8. Odell and M. Emmett Urell. The only past department commanders not present were Timothy Luby, who has been mustered out by death; D. 8. Alexander, who now lives in Buf- falo, and Newton M. Brooks, who is in Europe. Tho department made a most creditable dis- play. VETERANS FAVOR WASHINGTON. A good proportion of the G. A. R. men who throng the streets and hotel lobbies wear among the collections of badges on their breasts ths ribbon of the Washington commit- tee inscribed with the words, “Washington in 1892.” That Washington will be chosen for the next encampment 1s the impression one will form in very short time after reaching Detroit. That is because most of the talking is done by the rank and file of the G. A. R., the many thousands here who are in the parade today, but who have no vote in the encamp- ment. There is no doubt that the vast major- ity of the members of the Grand Army here want to go Washington. They are talking about it as something to look forward to with delight. GooD MISSIONARY WORK. The thousands of copies of Tux Stan distrib- uted here containing maps and descriptions of battlefields around Washington are read with interest and preserved by these veterans who served in the Army of the Potomac. The big map of Washington and the battle region hung up conspicuous in the lobby of the Russell House by the Washington committee and which will be suspended in the encampment hall attacts crowds of veterans, who study out all the places mentioned on it and stay to tell some war story called to mind by something on the map. Major McElroy of the National Tribune, who is confident that Washington will be chosen, told Tue Stax today that 33 per cent of the old soldiers here fought in the Army of the Poto- mac, and every one of them wants to come to Washington. “All you will have to tell them,” said Mayor ‘McElroy, “tis that the provost guard has been disbanded.” So far estimates as to the strongth of Wash- ington and Lincoln in the contest for the en- campment have been based on talks with indi- viduals and not upon the action of the delega- tions. This general talk would indicates great The preponderance of sentiment in favor of Wash- | bers of ington, but, of course, cannot be relied upon as surely indicating the way the encampment will vote. CAUCUSES TO BE HELD TOXIGHT. This evening after the parade nearly all the department delegations will caucus to decide upon their course in supporting candidates for the office of commander-in-chief, and a number of them will probably then decide how to cast their votes on the question of the location of the encampment No delegation that presents & candidate for commander-in-chief can be con- sidered as sure for Washington or Lincoln or any other city, as they may combine or trade at ent badly eplit up over its candidates. Palmer and Corliss are in the field An effort is being made te adopt the rule, in which case the it is believed, will present Hedges as the unani- mous choice of the state. COL. LIXCOLN WILLING TO WITHDRAW. Col. Lincoln announces he will withdraw if it becomes apparent that candidacy will thousands attracted by the encampment better than any other city, and then grow eloquent ‘over the beauties of the city and its apecial at- tractions for the soldier whofought in the fields around it. LINCOLN MOVED ovT. The committee from Lincoln, Neb., had head> quarters in the Russell House, near the Wash- ington committee. They moved out last night, as the Washington sentiment around the Rue sell House was too strong for them. Every+ where were Washington badges, Washington placards, Washington maps and veterans en- ‘thusiastic to goto Washington, so the Lin- coln circulars announcing “twenty-two miles of asphalt pavement and sixty miles of electrie railroads” as attractions made little impree sion. The Lincoln men rented a store under the Cadillac House, trimmed it up with flags and pictures and resumed business there. It is & lively delegation. Lincoln will get ite money's worth of advertising even if it faile to get the encampment. BOW SOME VOTES WILL G0. The voter of Nebraska and the delegates from some of the neighboring states are pretty sure to go to Lincoln on the first ballot. Some will Vote that way as a compliment to an enterpris- ing neighbor. At Colorado headquarters Tas STAR was told that it was probable the Colorado delegates would vote for Lincoln, “but we want to go to Washington,” said one veteran, “and between you and me I have no doubt the en- campment will go there. One Massachusetts Grand Army man said: “I was told that I would get s thrashing when I returned home if J did not vote for Washing- ton.” That statement shows the sentiment of all New Englanders. In the New Hampshire head- quarters Tue Sram was informed: “It's all Washington here.” A Vermonter, who has been traveling in the northwest and und made it a point to inquire where the Grand Army men there want the encampment next year, said that the tide of the whole north wost is toward Washington. An old soldier from a western state would give «complimentary vote to Lincoln because it isa western city, but the people want the encamp- ment in Washington and that is where the en- pment will be neld. SERENADED BY THE OLD GUARD. The Old Guard went on « serenading tour last night. They went to Gen. Alger's bouse | and in response to their music elicited speeches , Secretary Proctor, who is 6 guest, Senator Stockbridge. then invited into the house and most bospitably received by General and Mrs. Alger and their guests; from Gen. Alger's they marched to Commander-in-ctuef Veazey's bead- quarters at the Cadillac, and Gen, Veazey made ® speech to them from the hotel baloony. THE RELIEF COuPS. Yesterday afternoon the Department of Washington Relief Corps was entertained band- somely by the Michigan Relief Corps. Thie corps, composed of prominent Indies of Michi- gan, used own fine equipages in showing the Washington ladies the sights of Detroit, and for three hours the drive’ was contin through the streets of the city The parlors of the large building 25 Row- land street were filled from 5 to 11 o'clock last night by those who came to call on the ladies of the department relief corps. Fully 1,500 le came in aud were pleasantly received ) ladies, who are working hard to take the encampment to Washington in 1892. 4 ROUND OF CALLA. This morning the delegates from the Wasb- ington Relief Corps began their round of calls. ‘They called in a body on Gen. Veazey and later the k. Relief Corps, will hold a reception at that place and boom Washington. All of the members of the Washington committee come in for more ‘or lew personal comment by the newspapers ‘WASHINGTON MEN TO THE FRONT. One of the papers announces that the man who does most of the talking for the Washing- tonians is Mr. Edwin B Hay, tongue is like oil, and whose smile rivals «ilk for luster. ‘A complimentary notice of Mr. R.A. Parke begins with « statement that he parts his hair and whiskers very wide. Mr. Hay has received as much attention in Detroit, as any of the distinguished visitors to the campment. This is partly because be is Washington, but chiefly because be is i i cualtod Tuler of Elis, au order’ that Soutuabes ‘in this region.
