A. R. ENCAMPMENT. Commander-in-Chief Palmer and His Ad- visers Here. THRIR ARRIVAL TODAY—THE DATE oF THE EN- CAMPMENT TO BE FIXED—GFX. PALMER FAvORS THE FIRST WEEK IN OCTOBER—wmAT mE PUINKS ABOUT THE PARADE. The Grand Army national council of admin- istration is here. Some of it came yesterday and its arrival was announced in Tae Srax. Other portions came at an carly hour this morning and the balance, which included Commander-in-Chief Palmer, put im an appearance at the Ebbitt House shortly be- fore 12 o'clock. The latest arrivals were Gen. Palmer, Quartermaster Gen. Jobn Taylor of Philadelphia and Col. Charles H. Freeman, depgrtment commander for the state of New York. Accompanying these from Puila- delphin, where all had attended a banquet last night, were Chairman John Joy Edson of the local executive committee and Capt. Harrison Dingman, secretary of that same useful organi- zation. While Gen. Palmer and his immediate asso- ciates were adding to the Burch & Gibbs collec- tion of autographs Chairman Edson and Secretary Dingman told 2 Srar reporter how enthusiastic in their expressions were the quaker city folk. “Philadelphia veterans,” said Chairman E4- son, “will be bere toa man. ‘Their expressions of interest were really extraordinary, and of course most gratifying. It is safe to say that the attendance of the 1592 encampment will be greater than on any previous similar occasion.” THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. Aplensant-looking man,compact and business- like, is Gen. Jobn Palmer, commander-in-chief ofthe Grand Army of the Republic. A trifle below medium height, perhaps, but energetic enough for a six-foot physique. His hair is gray, almost to whiteness, and his mustache is of the same hue. Stecl- gray eyes look through rimless glasses and scem to see beneath the surface of the per- ton who is being looked at Nervous force, though. seems to be the general's principal stock in trade, and when he says anything he impresses his hearer with the idca that he means every word and all that every word im- plies. ‘ine weather fhere,” was his first remark toa Stan reporter. “Heard you had snow last week? Was it much? Only a little flurry! Why Tread in some of the papers that you were treated tothree inches of it. Don't knowhow the three-inch story originated, but I read it some- where. Giad to know there was notruth in it. A GREAT EXCAMPMENT. “Oh, we are going to have a great encamp- ment,” continued the general, as his mind nat- urally turned to the object which brings him and the other members of the council here. “I imagined we reached flood tide in Boston, in fact I said at Boston that we should never again see so many Grand Army men in line, but I want to take that back. ‘The Washington encampment ix going to eclipse all others. ‘Thousands of our members have not seen Wash- ington since the war, and they will come ingreat force to take advantage of what would, for many of them, be the last opportunity of their lives to see the capital of the nation they saved. No other city could awake the same enthusiasm; none could offer many patriotic inducements. Washi is the Mecca of the Union veteran, We meet here there will bea greater assembly of Union veterans than has been known since the close of the war. “When shall we meet? Well, the council of administration will fix that matter. My im- pression ie that the frst week in October would just right. ‘TRE GREAT PARADE. “One of the matters to which we shall give more than a little consideration will be the parade. The line of march must be shortened ab much as possible. Ofcourse the good people | &' who doagood deal of decorating on their residences want the line of march to be ofa lengthy variety, but our first thought must be old soldiers. Two or three men died of exbaustion after the Detroit parade, worn-out heroes whose frames couk at not be repeated. Now, my iden about$the parade is a new one, but it doesn't seem to have any weak places in it. In the ordinary pro- cession of Any magnitude the left of te line never sees the right, and that makes the thing somewhat tiresome for those who are in the parade. My proposition would be to have the parade start from 4!¢ street and after passing in front of the White Hiouse move around Lafayette Square to Pennsylvania ave- nue and proceed eastward to the point from whence it started. That would give the boys a chance to see each other and would relieve the monotony of such a must necessarily be. Then I would mace e entire procession on yivania avenue aud instead of baving kept the reviewing party standing in one lace for three or four hours I would, with the President and my staff, ride, down Pennsylva- nia avenue in front of ‘the lines. That would give people a chance to see the reviewing officers, This plan may not please everybody, but it will be satisfactory to the grent majority of veterans. Qf course there will be some kickers; the program would not be complete without them. Objection may be made the brevity of the line of march, it sho be borne in mind that the march is the least fa partof the parade; it is the long wait before the procession forms that wearies the old men. ‘ThiFty yours ago they tramped through mad and snow for months, and the fact that they did so is good and sufficient reason why they cannot stand much exertion now. “The rumor got abroad,” said the switching off on another ‘mental track, “that wade as ours there was a disposition on the part of Washing- | 2) ton hotel men to take advantage of the en- campment’s necessities, but I don't believe a middie of 3 cortataty not Inter than the last week in that mont The west is to the first week in October because ; then. too of posts intending to come to the encampment on Mr. Peck tosee about quarters. He Rives thom a list of halls and houses and they start out to inspect the premises and make an arrangement with the proprietors. There is hardly a day bat that one or more representatives of posts di in to sce Mr. Peck. The “tact “that the date of the encampment is nearly a year off seems to make no difference. The old veterans intend to have comfortable quarters during their stay in this city and they don't propose to wait until all the good places are engaged. Experience at former encampments has taught hem that arrangements must be made some time in advance. At the present rate all the principal balls and buildings will be engaged months before the encampment is held. TWENTY-TWO POSTS HAVE SECURED QUARTERS. Already Mr. Peck has a record of twenty-two Post which have secured quarters and there are several posts which have balis engaged and have not reported that fact to the committes, Mr. Peck bas on file applications for quarters for eighicen posts who have sent no repre- sentatives here to engage places. He will se~ lect quarters, make the terms and notify the oe of his action. Some of the are una- le to pay for quarters and it is expected that Pkoriston will be unade tor them in some of the istrict buildings, as, for example, the school houses. Noaction has as yot been taken in re- gard to supplying quarters for such al- though one plan suggested ts to establish a camp on the Monument grounds, where the Veterans can live in tents free of cl Mr. Peck had n call today from Mr. P.M. Sterritt of St. Louis, who represented the Frank P. Blair sliont of that eity. the post west of the Mississippi river. Itis that the post will muster about 300 men be the dy of the great parade and maintain ite repa- tation for having the largest number in line of any post. THE BAY STATE WELL REPRESENTED. ‘The Massachusetts Grand Army men will be ‘well represented at the encampment. Already cloven posts from that state have engaged quarters and applications have come in for quarters for eight additional posts. ‘The Geo. H. Ward Post, No. 10, of Worcester, Mass., hos just leased a building on C street between 434 and 3d streets, where the 150 mem- ders can eattund sleep. Mr. Henry A. Cheever of the Maj. Geo. L.
