L. and rn at MORE CIVILIAN CANDIDATES, Others Designated by Secretary Proctor for Examination for Commissions. When Secretary Proctor determined this spring to open the chances of civilians to get into the army it was his intention to select twenty-four young men of good standing and qualifications from civil life for appoint- ment as second licutenanta. Twelve of them have already been elected and assigned to regiments, together with & dozen non-commissioned officers who have been raised from the ranks. There now remain twelve places for civilians, and to fill them the Secretary has ordered another batch of applicants to appear before the same board that examined the others, consisting of Majt. Davis, MacArthur and Sanger. It was found that this board performed. its duties so ju- dicionsly and fairly that it was ordered to con- tinue on the duty of harrowing the souls of the youngjmen who want to wear shoulder straps. The board will in all probability pursue the same lines as in the er examination and it will get together in a few days to determine upon the new questions, which, of course, must fer from those ssked the first batch, else there would be less competition and higher Averages than are desired. ‘They will be likely to hold the examination some time in Augi THE NEW LIST. The new candidates are as follows: William C. Alvord, Oregon; James N. Andrews, Ne- braska; John P. Armstrong. Delaware; Geo. D. Deshon, Massachusetts; Jno. W. Ewing, India Frank M. Hume, Mai 3B Larrabes, town Joba. F.’ Madden, Californiay Jala ir, Virginia; Albert C. Moore, Washington John S. Murdock, Connecticut; Harrison 3 Price, New York, Hebert Sewell, New Jersey: W. H.

Short, Ohio. ineccounst Gotan Walloce mall Bhoeti ere ox: amined with the first bunch, and although they secured a high average, each failed in some one subject. ‘They entered a protest against their being excluded from thelist,on the ground that the regulation providing for the appoint- ment of candidates who obtained a gtneral average over seventy was not amended until the day before the examination, when the Secretary issued a circular providing that those failing to obtain seventy in any one sub- ject should not pass. On this account the four young men named are to be given another chance. Wallace is a relative of Gen. Lew Wallace of Indians. Mr. Moore comes from the National Guard of Illinois; Brooke is a first lieutenant of the third infantry, Penneylvania National Guard: Cole is a member of the Missouri Guard and Short be- longs to the first artillery, Ohio state troops. STILL & SURPLUS. There will be twelve selections made, and thus there will Rave been thirty-six appoint- ments to the army this year from civil life and the ranks, an unusually large numbe-. There will be no more non-commissioned officers ex- amined. After thes? thirty-six are provided with posts there will still be aslight surplus of second lieutenancies, for the original plan was based on forty vacancies actually existing when the first orders were issued, and more are being created constantly. See BOOMING THE FAIR What the Commissioners now in Europe Are Doing. Reports have been received at the Treasury Department from the three special agents traveling in Europe as boomers of the world’s fair, Messrs. Grosvenor, Ellis and Butler, that any apparent absenco of interest manifested hitherto seems to have been due rather to = lack of information than to any indisposition to participate. They state among other things that a satis- factory volume of foreign exhibits would be greatly facilitated if it were possible to inform exhibitors beforehand of the exact cost of transportation from the several ports of Europe to Chicago and return. The exposition being located at an interior city, new questions in this respect are raised which did not have to be met in any former instance. The recommendatioa is made that the ex- position authorities lose no time in arranging ‘a uniform scale of transit charges with the sev- eral leading transportation companies, so that intending foreign exhibitors may know as early as practicable just what to depend upon and be able to estimate with le accuracy the expense which they are to incur. SRS ee COST OF INSPECTION. eel The Building Inspector’s Estimates for His Ofice for Next Year. Building Inspector Entwisle today forwarded to the Commissioners the estimate of the amount required for the support of his office the coming fiscal year. ‘The total amount he estimates necessary for his office is $9,155, divided as follows: One inspector, $2,400; chief clerk and archi- tect, $1,600; one assistant inspector of build- ings, $1,200; one assistant inspector of build- ings at $1,000; one inspector of elevators und fire escapes, $1,000; one clerk at $900; one mes- senger at $480; contingent expenses, $575. For the care of the District building he estimates that €3,008. » will be necessary. For repairs to public schools, $90,000; to po- lice statlons, 62,000; to fire’ engine ‘houses, for market houses, $1, a seale8, $250; for Police Court, $8005 rior of District buildin, In conclusion, Mr, for bay for inte- "Entei total, $39,550. ntwiale e mays that the above estimates should not be reduced, as each Sastan te fScrepetey Salas’ bow onl tiay' ountbe placed to keep the buildings in a fair state of preservation. He recommends an increase of salary in the chief clerkship, who is also the District archi- tect, and designs all school and fire engine houses as well as police stations. He also recommends an increase of salary in each of the two assistante, Cnanging the Destination of Imports. The Tressury Department is informed that tite steamship Schiedam arrived at New York July 14 from Rotterdam with her crank shaft broken and will be unable to continue her voyage to Baltimore before the 15th instant at the earliest. The steamship. company there- fore requests permission, to change the des: Hustion ‘of @ portion of the vessel's s cargo an same at New York in of at Baltimore. Assistant Secretary Nettloton bas granted the application on condition that the 18 interested consent to the change of Restination and that all requirements of the regulations shall’ be complied with so far as practicable under the circumstances.

IN SESSIO Progress of the Twenty-fifth Annual Encampment. WASHINGTON'S AGENTS HUSTLING. The Vote May Not Be Taken Until Tomorrow. ALL INDICATIONS FAVORABLE THE FIGHT APPARENTLY WON. All Indications Point to Washington's Suc- cess at Detroit. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Derrorr, Micu., August 5.—With the dram beats of yesterday's parade still echoing through the city as post after post marches away the national encampment began today the work for which it has assembled. The mem- bers of the Washington committee begin the dsy which may decide the question of the loca- tion of the next encampment with some anxiety. There is every indication that their fight is won; still this morning on comparing notes it is found that no one can give any statement in figures of the real strength of Washington. The general impression that Washing- ton will go through with a cheer and the general enthusiasm for Washington in the rank and file have given the committee its eon- fidence more than any reliable count of votes, whith has been quite impossible to make, as the matter has hardly received any considera- tion in the various meetings and caucuses of state delegations. Tax Star correspondent has run across a number of delegates who will vote for Lincoln, Neb., but not one who does not believe the encampment will go to Wash- ington, IOWA GAINED FOR WASHINGTON. The Washington invitation committee were active this morning. One effective piece of ‘work was to bring the Iowa delegation around to Washington. The Iowans caucussed this morning and Senstor Manderson and Gov. ‘Thayer of Nebraska made addresses to the delegation which almost won them for Lincoln. Messrs. E. B. Hay and Frank Hatton of the Washington committee were then admitted. ‘Mr. Hay made a speech cordially inviting the veterans tocome tothe capital and dwelling with pathetic unction on all the points of interest to many of the old soldiers that Washington pos- senses. He spoke of the fact that the old soldiers are passing away and of the appropri- ateness of beginning the second quarter cen- tury of the Grand Army witha grand review such as signalized the beginning of its exist- ence. Some of the veterans were moved to tears. Asaresult of this effort it wes agreed that Iowa should vote for Washington. ‘The New York delegation also decided this morning in eaucus to vote for Washington. The invitation committee having been noti- fied this morning that they would be invited upon the floor of Beecher Hall, where the en- campment meets, to present the invitation of Washington prepared for that event. Chair- man Douglass primed himself for a speech, and the committee, a little after 11 o'clock, proceeded to Beecher Hall, a few squares from their headquarters, bearing the silver plate invitation. They had to wait in the ante-room for some time while the opening proceedings were condusted. They could sce through the door the gorgeously decorated platform, where Commander Veazey sat with ex-President Hayes and Govs. Hovey, Thayer and Oglesby. THE COMMITTEE WAITING. The committee waited until nearly 1 o'clock in the ante-room. The encampment then took recess for an hour. As the proceedings inci- dental to opening and organizing the encamp- ment were not then completed, it ssemed prob- able that the resolution which will be offered by General Henderson of Iowa to admit the committee to the floor cannot be presented and acted upon until late in the afternoon. ‘When the committee is admitted Commis- sioner Douglass will make a speech presenting the silver invitation and golden key to the en- campment in the name of both the government of the District and of the people of the city, asking the Grand Army to order its next encampment to be held in Washington. NO VOTE PROBABLE TONIGHT. Itis not thought that the encampment will vote this evening on the question of the en- campment. An hour may be fixed when the vote will be taken tomorrow. In the proceedings this morning Nebraska gained a little prominence by presenting to the commander-in-chief, through Gen. Clarkson, & costly gavel of ivory and gold and a magnificent floral piece. Secretary Proctor and Gen. Batchelder left for New York today on the Cleopatra, the pri- vate car tendered him by the Pennsylvania road. The Secretary will go from New York to his home in Vermont. Gen. Batchelder will return at once to Washington. ‘The time of holding the encampment will not be determined in the meeting of the encamp- ment. This will be decided by thecouncil of ad- ministration within a month or so after the eticampmentadjourns. The council will ask the advice of the Washington committee on this subject. The invitation committee here has Deen consulted and have advised holding the encampment the last week in September or the first week in October. Corporal Tanner has spent most of his time about Commander-in-Chief Veazey’s head- quarters. To Tue Stan he said this morning: “You are at liberty to say for me, if you want to, that I have made abet of ten to one that Washington will get the encampment. I have sepped every. detajate that has come around headquarters, and’ I know I am betting one sure Mr. RB. A. Parke of the Washington commit- ‘tee, who has been figuring on the situation, told Tax Sran this “morning that the lowest estimate made for Washington was 480 votes on the first ballot, which would be an effective majority of the votes to be cast. The COL. LINCOLN'S WITHDRAWAL. exe in Gout is cast i egulaah Wadiiagion, gies woh wed Soe to one.” W. W. Dudley, who bas been active st Sherratt in the interest of Washington, estimates that four-fifths of tho delegates will vote at the start for Washington. Corporal Tanner's figures agree with this estimate. Adjutant General Goulding said to Tae Star this morning that there are about 1,100 mem- bers in the encampment who have a vote in naming the place of meeting. Of these about 800 are in Detroit at present. He said: “I have had no conference on the subject and #0 can- not say officially what the encampment will do, but speaking for myself I can say it is evident that the feeling of the soldiers is in favor of Washington.” All the newspaper men reporting the en- campment have been so impressed with the belief that Washington will be the chosen place, that they have practically stopped writing about the matter, assuming it to be » question practically settled. One man here, an experienced reporter of the Associated Press, who travels about report- ing conventions, told Tur Sram today that he ‘has tntely attended several large state conven- tions and is traveling all the time. He had ob- served everywhere that the sentiment is in favor of Washington. He said that in trayel- ing he bad sounded many who are active in the Grand Army and who are in Detroit at present ‘on the question, and that they were almost a Unit for Washington. He then remarked: “Lincoln is out of the race. I know it because I have constant op- portunity of judging how such things turn out, and it is evident that she has no chance what- ever.” South Dakota is strongly in favor of tho capital city and will so cast its vote in the en- campment. CONFERENCE ON COL. LINCOLN. It was settled late last night that Col. Chas. P. Lincoln would not be a candidate for the office of commander-in-chief. There was long conference in his room at the Russell House, and after midnight be signed a letter addressed to Chairman Douglass announcing that he would not be a candidate. Col, Linco in his letter aid that he was informed that his candidacy was being urged as argument against giving Washington the encampment, on the ground that the city was not entitled to both the high- est office and the honor of welcoming the next encampment. He says that he has always favored Washington for 1892 and that he would not desire his candidacy to afford the slightest ground for an argument against the capital city. Chairman Douglass has written a letter to Col. Lincoln expressing the committee's ap~ preciation of the good will and magnanimity shown by Col. Lincoln's action. This action of Col. Lincoln cost him some- thing of a struggle. He and his friends had expressed absolute confidence that he would be chosen, and, from his point of view, he has surrendered an honor which a Grand Army man would consider one of the highest that could be bestowed upon him. SOME VETERANS’ VIEWS, Commander Morgan of the Department of Vermont said: “We all want to go to Washing- ton. The only thing that could prompt the en- campment to name Lincoln as the place of meting in 1892 would be the desire to accept a ® courtesy, whereas nearly every member of the Grand Army wants Washington because of the memories associated with that city.” One old soldier from the west said: “Thou- sands of us are planning to go to Washington in 1892 to march over the same route that we did in the grand review, and we are going to doit. Another year even would find many so enfeebled that they could not do that and it would not do to put it off. We must go to Washington.” An fold soldier from Kansas said: “We want to go while there is a comrade in the presi- dential chair to greet us and be greeted by us. ‘The possibility exists that the next president Will not be a member of the Grand Army and we want to go in 1892.” The members of the Washington committee on invitation are all warm in their praises of the hospitality shown them by Mr. R. A. Parke, one of their number, who, as southeastern passenger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad, took charge of the party on the journey from Washington to Detroit. He not only enter- tained the committee sumptuonsly on the road, but made them his guests at Watkins Glen and Niagara Falls, where carriages were provided. No “personally conducted” tour ever did up ‘these resorts more thoroughly than did Mr. Parke's guests. GOOD WORDS FOR WASHINGTON. Last night Wells Post of Columbus, Ohio, serenaded Detroit Post of Michigan. Gen. Wm. Gibson, the silver-tongued orator of Ohio, as he is called, made ® rattling speech, in which he said: “I want to see the boys march in view again on Pennsylvania avenue.” i spoke in the most complimentary terms of the beauty of the city. Hisspeech was entbusiasti- cally received. Postmaster Henry Sherwood's old regiment, the fourth Michigan cavalry, hold a reunion today. They got together last evening. There were 190 of them, and on a vote being taken every man of them expressed a preference for Washington in 1892. The Potomac Relief Corps tendered s recep- tion to Miss Clara Barton last evening from 6 to 10 o'clock. There was s steady stream of callers throughout those hours. Among those who called were the members of the Washington invitation committee. The department relief corps spent last evening in making calls on the members of various relief corps whoare in Detroit.

VEAZEY'S ADDRESS, The opening address of the comtnander-im- chief was listened to in rapt attention by the assembled veterans. Gen. Veazey anid: “Comrades: This is the silver anniversary of a birth, not of a wedding. The wedding oo- curred when the bridegrooms, the youth of the land, enlisted in ite defense. Abraham Lin- coln’ celebrated the marriage nuptiala, Co- lambia was the bride, ber vesture was the nation’s flag. The pledge to re-establish that flag over the domain of secess deemed through bloo ing and death, and after the on the brow of the bride # gems were honor, valor, tame, liberty un- tainted with slavery, a country reunited and free, the fruit of that marriage was the Grand Army of the Kepublic, an offspring worthy of ite royal parentage. “The man must be blind indeed who bas failed ‘to see in recent years, as time has impelled our column toward the river which all mankind maust cross, that the G. A. K., as it has become better known, bas been constantly marching to @ higher plane in the estimation of the people generally, as well ax of the veterans of the wary that the’ latter are sec membership im greater numbers; that the spirit of true com- radeship is continually taking deeper hold in the hearts of comrades, and that tine has not diminished but 4) 4 their pride of thetr. service, not quenched but tuteusified the ardor of their love of the fag and all it represent not dulled but enlivened the solderly spirit which they exhibited in the old beroie days. Any charge to the contrary is an insult to the Veterans as a class and as individuals.” THE COLOR LINE AND RUE SOUTH. After referring pathetically to the death dar- ing the past year of Sherman, Porter, Hamlin, Deveus, Tobin and other honored members of the order, the “The present administ same disturbances in the Department of Lou- isiana and Mississippi that had troubled my predecessors. From various sources of ine Tormation that have been accessible to me I believe that « jarge majority of both white and colored comrades in the Department of Lou- isiana and Mississippi are stcong in the con- viction that it would be for the best in- terests of all individually and of their posts and of the order to have @ separate department in Louisiana and some of the other gulf states made up of such posts as may apply to come into it and having cou- current jurisdiction with the departments al- ready established in such states: concurrent in Tespect to the —- and mastering of posts, but each department having exclusive jurisdiction over the posts which it may re- ceive. My best judgment after a year of pains- taking investigation is that it would be wise to confer the authority upon my successor to cree ate such a departiment. He may neither find it necessary nor think it best to exercise power if conferred. APPEALS FOR CONTRIBUTIONS. “The commander-in-chicf advises that the executive officers refrain from indorsing ap» peals for contributions for any purposes, how- ever worthy, exeept those expressly named in the objects of the order. Veterans are apt to be strongly influenced by such indecent, It is recommended that Congres be appealed to to provide for the maintenance of the Mt. McGregor cottage. The G. A.

HIGH-WATER MARK OF THE ORDER. “Comrades, our order has reached its high- water mark neither in numbers nor in glory and power. In cultivating fraternity and charity it works on the same lines with some other organizations. But there is another basic principle of our order which is, in «sense at Teast, peculiar to it—it isthe broad principle of jere we provoke criticism and on the ground that there is no dislovalty now. ‘True, no class or section is engaged in disloyal acts, but, as is well known, there are mon here and there throughout the land who adhere to the pernicious doctrine that secession by a state is aright and therefore resistance to attempted coercion is not disloyalty or rebellion. fron hesl of Amcow Jackie credbed the aret threats of overt action based on this doctrine. When, in the next instance, the threat was car- ried into effect it required the scourge of war and rivers of blood to suppress it. A third effort is not likely to appear again in the south, because it is not conceivable how the interests of that section can be so advantageously «itu- ated as they are within the Union. But the doc- trine permeates the political literature of the country. Theseod tock deop root in the disciples of n and others who labored to plant it. As our country extends its borders and sec- tions become antagonistic in interest, who can say that another effort may not be made some- where?
