THE ERA OF GOOD FEELING ——— Special From a Staff Correspondent. LOUISVILLE, K; September 10.—The Yankees have taken Louisville. The city has fallen without a struggle. It was a case of uncoiditional surrender. The Grand Army of the Republic made the capture. They carried picket lires, outposts, breast- works, and finally, the city. Meeting with no resistance. The Department of the Potomac was in the front rink of the invaders, and the colored troops behaved nobly. The boys of the Mount Pleasant Drum Corps acquitted themselves gallantly. For the first time since the war the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, as an organized body, have met in the south. They are now camped as welcome guests in a city and land which they once invaded with military forces. The welcome which they have received was quite as warm as in the first Invasion. The degree of fervor is the same, but the circumstances are different. This idea of invading Dixie has evidently proven immensely popular with the Grand Army posts. They are coming in numbers astonishing, although gratifying, to their posts. “Great heavens, did we leave that many of them!” ejaculated a one-armed ex-con- federate on the street. It is indeed a source of wonder to see the multitude of ex-soldiers gathered on the streets of Louisville thirty years after the war. The great states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, close neighbors to Louisville, have turned out the veterans to this en- campment by the thousands. Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York are in easy reach and low rates have proven a suc- cessful temptation. The favorable condi- tions have resulted in an attendance which causes experienced observers to prophesy that subsequent national encampments will never be so iarge again. Magnificent Hospitality. The reception of the visitors by the city is on such a scale of magnificent hospital- ity as to cause general expressions of sur- prise and delight. Proverbial southern hos- pitality has apparently exerted itself to the utmost in this case. Grand Army peo- ple can date time hereafter from the Louis- ville ercampment. The decorations of the city make a glitter of glory by day and a blaze of light by night. Bunting and elec- tric lights form the combination. The spirit of the people here toward the visitors is manifested in a thousand little ways, and ts sincere and unmistakable. It is a spirit of most cordial and unaffected welcome. There is nothing maudlin in the sentiment which prompts them to extend the hand of welcome to the northerners. It is merely a frank and open expression of the idea that their former foes are now, in time of peace, their honored guests. Apparently there is no abandonment of apy of their own sentiments or memories about the war. They are merely relegated to the background for the occasion. There is no blending of the blue and gray. It is all blue now. One does not see anything in sign or symbol or hear anything in street or hall to offend the most sensitive or patriotic veteran. The Louisville peo- ple are proceeding with the idea that this is not a reunion of the north and south, but an encampment of the north in the south. The Washington Delegations. The Washington delegations began to something saved on everyihing. T7See US about your Office Supplies. It money in your pocket if you do. Easton & Rupp, 421 11th St., Pepular-Priced Stotioners.

Craighill, chief of engineers, resumed bis duties at the War Department this morning, after a short visit to Ocean y Md. He said to a Star reporter that he did tot care at the present time to give out Col. Wilson's special report in regard to the changes made by the public printer in the building between the south center and southwest sections of the government print- ing office, recently completed and trans- ferred to the public printer. Gen, Craighill added that he did not care to discuss the matter at this juncture, ex- cept to say that Col. Wilson would not have put in the tie rods or braces unless he thought they were necessary for the abso- lute safety of the building, and that it was perfectly natural upon their removal that he should desire to be absolved from fur- ther responsibility for the security of the building. A copy of Col. Wilson's report, giving the facts in the case, has been fur- nished Senator Gorman, chairman of the committee on printing, which has special supervision of the operations for the repair and enlargement of the government print- ing office. ———— oe Trial of Col. James Forney. The trial of Col. James Forney, marine corps, by court-martial began at the Brook- lyn navy yard today on charges growing out of the maladministration of public property. There are four charges, false- heod, embezzlement, making and vsing false papers and culpable ineffictency in the performance of duty. The detail of the court 1s the same as that in the Sumaer trial. —— overnment Receipts, National bank notes received today for redemption, $1 n internal revenue, $26. O65; muscellaneous, $4 reach the city about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the first section of the special ttein over the Chesapeake and Ohio reach- ing the headquarters of the Department of the Potomac, the Old Guard, the Woman's Relief Corps end the Drum Corps. At the depot a line of parade was formed, headed by the drum corps, and the Washingtonians marched to their quarters. The parade made an interesting display, and the Old Guard, whose fame has pre- ceded them, were heartily cheered along the route. The Mount Pleasant Drum Corps, consisting of eighty-six bugles and drummers, seemed to catch the town. The inspiriting martial music which they thumped from their drums and drew from their bugles caused a big crowd to foliaw them. Commander-in-Chief Anderson of the De- partment of the Potomac and his staff are quartered at the Galt House, and have opened headquarters there. The Old Guard and the drum corps are in the school build- ing, comfortably situated, although sleep- ing on mattresses on the floor. Lincoln Pest, No. 3, and some of the men from the Soldiers’ Home are in another school house. Members of Rawlins, No. 1, and Kit Car- sen, No. 2, are scattered over the city in private quarters. The colored patriots of Cherles Sumner Post, No. 9, are comforta- bly located in a school house. List night the veterans turned in early after their long trip from Washington. I made the rounds of the quarters of those who were settled, and found all well. ‘The boys of the drum corps, nothing daunted by sit up thirty hours in the train, were playing Indian in their big room and ing handsprings over their mattre You can't lose us,"’ cried a bugler as he turned a double flip flop over his bed and landed on a sleeping drummer boy, who immediately got up and proceeded to thump him, both being extinguished with a blank- et by Director Churchill. “They are as lively as a bag of fleas,” said Mr. Churchill, ‘and are having a bar- rel of fun.” The Department of the Potomac ts pre- paring the business which it will bring be- fore the national encampment when it meets in conyention. This business in- cludes a resolution asking Congress to de- clare the birthday of Lincoln a national holiday, a resolution supporting the efforts to obtain military instruction in, the public schools; there will also be brought before the encampment the proposed changes in constitution to allow the Sons of Veterans to attend -neetings of Grand Army posts. It is reyorted that an effort may be made to bring before the encampment the resolu- ticn indorsing the preposition to have the government buy Appomattox and make It a national park. The Department of the Potomac in its annual encampment last February refused to indorse the plan. A number of Washington people are said to be interested in it. After the Next Encampment. Tt is the idea of some of the prominent eastern delegations to have the encamp- ment of 1897 held in Baltimore in case of St. Paul's getting it in 1896. This plan ts in danger of being frustrated, however, by the entry of Buffalo in the field for the en- campment of 1896. If it goes to Buffalo it Castoria For Infants and Children.

The result is that the Maryland, Virginia and District of Columbia delegations are working for St. Paul for 1896. The ccntest for commander-in-chief seems to lie between Walker of Indiana and Clarkson of Nebraska. Both are strong, and it is hard to prophesy who will get it. The contest for senior vice commander is complicated. It was proposed to give this place to Kentucky if the state could agree upon a man. The state is divided, how- ever, upon the candidates. The department of Kentucky indorses Col. Hobson, while the posts of Louisville and the citizens’ ccmmittee sre for Maj. Minton. It is con- sidered likely the election will go elsewhere. The W. R.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., September 10.—It ts Goubtful if this city, famous for fair wo- amen and fast horses, ever before ente tained as many guests as are here today Certain it Is the town never before had within its limits so many battle-scarred soldiers. It is conservatively estimated that nearly 200,000 strangers are here, and the majority of them thirty years ago bore arms either for the blue or for the gray. But the blue and gray are one today, and men who were then at war walk arm in arm as brothers. The bitter hatred of those dark days has vanished. The event cf today of the Nayal Veterans’ Association, and, to judge by the crowds of men, women and children who thronged the sidewalks along the line of march, crowded the windows and housetops, all Louisville turned out to see. Its old citizens, men who have lived here for the last forty or fifty years—and there are many of them—say it was the grendest sight they ever saw. But the great Grand Army parade tomorrow, which is to he the event of the week, promises to far surpass i The hour set for the starting of the Naval Veterans’ parade was 10:30 o'clock. But, as usual, there was some delay; not enongh, however, to tire the anxious’ and patient thousands who had gathered to see ft. When the order to “Forward, march,” wag given, the old-timers moved. Prere were fully 10,000 men in line. OF course they were not all veterans and of Uncle Sam's navy, but these veterans of the navy were the center of attraction, and as these grizzled and gray old heroes passed throvgh the streets they were greet- ed by patr-otic cheers from the throats of the «ns of thousands of citizens on the sidewalks, from the windows and. house- tops. A detail of police, under command of J. W. Hammend, led the way. The Michigan City Military Band came pext, and then the Louisville Legion Drum and Bugle Corps. A regiment of Irdiana state militia followed the music, and next to the hoosier soldiers was the Louisville Legion. ‘Then in sequence came Kirkamp’s Cornet Band, uniform divisions of the Knights of Pythias, Alpha, N. A., Louisville and Jeffersonville, Schneider's Military Band; Juvenile Drum Corps, Uniform Rank Knights of Honor, ex-prisoners of war, Mississippi Ram Flect Veterans, Eichorn's Military Band; Grand Army of the Republic Juvenile Drum Corps, Last in the parade, riding in carriage came a score or more veterans of the Mex- ican war. They were too feeble with weight of years to walk, and few of them ever ex- pect to see another encampment of the G. ALR. ————— Surgeon Wood Reports for Duty. Capt. Leonard Wood, assistant surgeon, who has been stationed at Fort McPher- son, Ga., for some time, reported at the War Department this morning under or- ders for duty in this city as attending sur- geon, to relieve Capt.

A Large Nomber of Applications De- nicd, Among Which Were Sey- eral District Cases. The President has granted pardon in the following ~cases: George Capizuto, con- victed in New York of counterfeiting; Henry W. Duckworth, convicted in Iowa of breaking into a post office. Each had served his full term of imprisonment, and the President’s action merely restores their citizenship, Applications Denied. Application for clemency was denied in the following cases: Hamp Cook and Sam- uel H. Mixon, conyicted in Alabama of con- spiracy; William Scott, sentenced in New York to three years at hard labor at Kings ccunty penitentiary for sending obscene pictures through the mails; William E. Burr, jr., awaiting sentence for embezzling funds of the St. Louis National Bank; Jas. B. Truly, sentenced in Mississippi to six months for embezzling post office funds; Wm. H.

Whitaker, sentenced in Indian territory to twelve montks in the Washtngton, D. C., reform school; Chas.

In this case the President says: “In view of all the facts in thi$ case, I am of the opinion that the sentence of the court, as miodified and mitigated, was merciful and preper, and should represent all of the leniency this convict deserved.” In the cuse of Chas. B, Terry, sentenced in the District of Columbia to three years in Al- beny penitentlary for assault with intent to Kill, the President says: “I am by no means certain that any clemency should be shown in this case, at any time or in any event.

Consul General MeIvor has sent to the Department of State a comprehensive state- ment of the foreign trade of Japan for 1894. The total exports appear to have been 529,011 and the total imports $59,- 680,833. Of the exports $22,008,306 worth were sent to the United States, for which this country returned goods to the value of only $5,575 The United States were the principal importers among the nations of Japanese goods. Great Britain imported only $3,022,700 worth and export- ed to Japan $21,432,455’ worth. The state- ment shows that Japan exported $13,628,095 in gold and silver specie and bullion during the year and imported $17,464,588, the larger part of both amounts being in silver. The customs collections amounted to $2,087,560. The principal articles of export were coal, rice, jacquered ware, matches, mats, copper and copper ware, silks and tea; and of imports, cotton, raw and manufactured; drugs and chemicals, dyes, paints and col- ors, rice, locomotives and other ma¢hinery (including wheels and looms for spinning and weaving), railway appliances, kerosene, sugar, steam vessels,; wool and woolen gcods. The tmported steam vessels were valued at $4,168,895. The chief articles of import from the United States were kerosene oil, $2,072,310, and raw cotton, $1,361,751, in both of which articles Mr. McIvor reports a per- ceptible improvement in our trade. The imports from this country also include about $100,000 worth of cotton manufactures, $22,933 worth of arms and munitions of war, $200,000 of leather, $281,026 of locomo- tives, $311,133 of flour and’ about $260,000 of other provisions, $121,194 of sugar and $106,225 of paraffine wax. Of raw silk alone Japan exported $11,- 403,333 worth to the United States in ad- dition to silk manufactures, Including $2,- 349,376 worth of Habutai silk and $984,993 of silk handkerchiefs, That country alone sent tea to the value of $3,188,001 to this country and considerable quantities of rice, matting and carpets. n Francisco at Southampton.

Schofield. OPPOSITION NOT LIKELY 10 AVAIL A Dashing Hero and Fighter to Head the Army. —>+—__ GEN. RUGER’S TRANSFER Unles3 signs, usually infallible, fail in this instance, Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, now commanding the military department of the east, with headquarters at New York, will shortly be ordered to this city to take command of the army on the 20th instant, when Lieut. Gen. John M. Scho- field goes on the retired list by operation of law on account of age. In that event Maj. Gen. Ruger, who has been stationed in this city for several weeks on special duty connected with the formulation of new drill regulations for the army, will surely relieve Gen, Milas of his present duties at New York. Gen. Miles ts the senior major general of the army and Gen. Ruger Is his immediate junior. Gen. Wesley Merritt, the third major general, who was recently placed in command of the Department of the Missouri, with station at Chicago, will undoubtedly retain that command. There is no likelihood of any other changes in the station or duty of the other general officers now in command of various depart- ments. No Promotions Will Follow. Inasmuch as Gen. Schofield occupies the Gistinguished position of lieutenant general, a grade revived for his especial benefit, his retirement will result in no promotions and will make no change in the present mili- tary status of the majors general, other than has been already indicated. No officer of thet grade will be advanced to Gen. Schofield’s present rank, unless Gen. Miles’ friends succeed in securing congressional authority for a continuance of the lieuten- ant generalcy for his benefit. All three of uhe present majors general were appointed by President Cleveland, Miles having re- ceived his promotion during his first term and Ruger and Merritt having been ad- anced during his present term. With the single exception of Gen. Sheri- dan, Gen. Miles will be the youngest officer who has ever had command of the army. Gen. Sheridan was fifty-two years of age when he died. Gen. Miles is now in his fifty-seventh year, and he has seven full years to serve before he will reach the legal retiring age. Gens, Ruger and Merritt are each older than Gen. Miles. Inasmuch as they both have over two years more to serve on the active list, there will be no vacancies in the Ist of majors general to be filled dur- ing the present administration, except in the event of an unlooked-for casualty in- volving one of the incumbents. The New Commander's Carcer. Gen, Miles is the youngest officer of his rank that the army has known for many years. Early in the eighties he was made a brigadier general, and eight years ago he became a major general, being then but forty-nine years of age. Next to Gen. Schofield he is probably the best-known officer In the army. He comes of Massa- chusett’s stock, and made his reputation’ as a volunteer officer during the war, and since then 9s a successful Indian fighter. As colonel of the fifth infantry he institut ed many campaigns against the Indians, and was never defeated. He encompassed the captur? of Sitting Bull, and subsequent- ly ccmpelled the redoubtable Geronimo to surrender. He was in command of the troops during the turbulent times preced- ing the Wou..ded Knee affair, a few years ago, and it was his maragement of that campaign that undoubtedly prevented a general outbreak and saved the lives of meny settlers, soldiers and Indians. At that time he was a major general, com- manding the Department of the Missouri, which command he held up to last autumn, when he was transferred to New York on the retirement of Gen. Howard. The prospective commander of the army is closely connected by marriage wita Senator Sherman and Senator Don Cam- eron. His wife is a niece of the former and a sister-in-law of the latter. Gen. and Mrs. Miles are said to be the handsomest couple in the army circle. They have two children, a daughter about twenty-two years of age, and a son several years younger. Mrs. Miles is described as a tall woman of commanding presence and very handsome. As is well known, Gen. Miles is of imposing stature and distinguished ap- pearance. Opposition to the Transfer. There are mutterings of opposition froin personal enemies against Gen. Miles’ trans- fer to Washingtcn, but it 1s rot believed that they will prove of much avail. All sorts of charges have been trumped up against him in the hope of preventing his preferment, but to those ¥ have studied the situation In all its bearings it is not apparent hew he can be passed by without an unprecedented sacrifice of all military laws and regulaticns. It is an unbroken rule in the army that a senior officer shall not receive commands frcm his junior in rank, and no one but Gen. Miles can be placed at the head of the army on the r tirement of Gen. Schofield without a palpe ble violation of this rock-ribbed rule. Among the objections brought against the preferment of Gen. Miles is that he is a republican in politics; that he is not a graduate of West Point, and that he did not manage the Geronimo affair to the sat- isfaction of President Cleveland. His ene- mies make much out of the last named af- fair, and endeavor to show that he deceived the President as to the real terms of sur- render, and was guilty of a willful d be- dience of orders. That little weight can be attached to these arges is evidenced by the fact that the President never took any further notice of the affair. It stands to reason that Gen. Miles would have been court-martialed if he had committed the serious offenses alleged against him. It will be a source of satisfaction to Washingtcrians to know that Gen. Scho- field proposes to make this city his perma- rent home. He and Mrs. Schofield have many warm friends, and like most army and navy people they prefer this city as a place of residence above all others. Gen. Schofield returned to Washington last evening, and he is now acting as Sec- retary of War in the absence of Secretary Lamont and Assistant Secretary Doe. He has been in New York for several days, and was an interested spectator of the yach: race Saturday. It is expected that he will be relieved from duty as acting secretary in time to permit him to fulfill his engage- ments to attend the reunion of the Society of the Army cf the Tennessee at Cincin- nati,-on the 16th and 17th instants, and to perticipate in the celebrations at Chick- amauga and Chattanooga on the 19th and 20th instants. He purposes to return to Washington about the 22d instant, and re- main on duty at the War Department until his retirement, on the 2th instant. eae Tomorrow's St. Asnph Entries, First race, maidens, five furlongs—Electro, Gold Fly, 113; Coal Mine, 112; Jiison, ; Billy Leggins, 103; Bald, Hornet, 103; Soroso, 93.

AMERICAN SECURITY AND PRUST CO., 1405 G STREET. 4 llememennoeanne OLIVER P. MORTON POST Commander Boston Turns It Over to the Next in Rank. Some Members Were Opposed to This Action — The Quartermaster’s Ex- planation of the Difficulty. ‘ Oliver P. Morton Post, Department of the ee G. A. R., met last evening in Grand Army Hall and Post Commander George H. Boston turned his command over to Vice Post Commander James Wells, in accordance with the orders of Department Commander Anderson. As related in The Star, Commander Bos- ton was ordered to turn his post over to the next officer in rank, pending his trial by court-martial, which has been set for the 26th instant. There was a considerable faction in Oliver P. Morton Post opposed to having the command taken from Com- mander Beston, because they took his side of the controversy he had engaged in with Department Commander Anderson, and there was some disposition to enforce their wishes. They decided to be law abiding, however, and to obey the orders of the pore of the order in the District of Colum- a. The attendance on tke meeting of the post was much less than on occasions in the past when a question of great im- portance was to come up for consideration. ‘There were not more than eighty or ninety members present, whereas the attendance has amounted to three times that number on occasions when excitement prevailed in the post. Friends of Mr. Boston claim that this small attendance was due to a report that gained currency to the effect that there would be no meeting because the hall could not be used by the post. The Bone of Contention. The bene of contention that fs believed to have been the cause of all the trouble lately experienced in Oliver P. Morton Post is the fact that the per capita tax due on July 1 has not been paid. The pay -uent of this tax comes directly under the control of Quartermaster Walter Middleton. Mr. Mid- Gleton explained the financial situation of his post 10 a Star reporter today. “Our per capita tax has not been paid, be- cause it has not yet been collected. The post has appropriated money for various things, and in that way our funds were run very low. Pension day ts the time when we get in dues of members, and the 4th of the present month being pension day I expect we will soon have enough money to set? the per capita tax,which amounts to $123.30. This is not the first time our per capita tax has not been paid promptly, but before we were told to pay ii as soon as we could, and no troubie resulted from the delay. “As soon as one of the members of the ecmmittee appointed to examine my ac- counts returns from.Louisville the hooks will be placed in the hands of the comm tee, and a report will be forthcoming. This committee consists of John W. Hunter, H. Cc. Saunders and James Wells. Everything in cur post is now harmonious, and there is no need of further trouble. I told the mem- bers of the post long ago that they should not make. appropriations until the per capita tax was paid, but they did so. Money as voted to , ete., because it atly needed that as So gr might Only Eleven Went to Louisville. “This difficulty in our post has resulted in very few members of it going to Louisville. So far as I know but eleven comrades have gcne to Lousyille, while I think we would have taken from sixty to seventy if the difficulty had not arisen. All the dificulty we have had has been made by the deps ment commender, who came to our hall. COTTON CROP. some other thing: THE A Decline of 7.1 Points From the Con- dition in August. The September cotton report of the De- partment of Agriculture shows a decline from the August condition of the crop, which was to 70.8 per cent, a decline of 7.1 points. This makes the lowest Sep- tember condition of the plant since 1881, when it was reported at 70 per cent. The next lowest since 1881 was the condition of 1893, when it stood for the same month at 73.4, : Cotton suffered severely during the month of August from the drought which charac- terized the early part of the month and the excessive rain which succeeded it. The preserce of boll worms has worked great injury and the crop has been injured by shedding and rust. The causes mentioned by Texas correspondents for the deteri tion In the state are as follows: Drouzht hot weather, floods, boll worms, sharp. shooters, Mexican weevil, caterpillars, army worms and weeds. There fs striking unanimity in the pes: mistic tcne adopied by correspondents throughout all of the cotton-raising states. The state averages are as follows: Vir- ginia, 84; North Carolina, 79; South Caro- lina, 81; Georgia, $1; Florida, 70; Alabama, 74; Mississippi, 77; Louisiana, 75; Texas, 56; Arkansas, ‘ennessee, 76; Kentucky, 85. —_—_————+>-»-.___ WILL FILE AN APPEAL. Ex-Senator Manderson’s Notifiention to Controller Bowler. Controller Bowler has received a tele- gram from ex-Senatcr Manderson, counsel for the Oxnard Sugar Company, giving no- tice that he would file an appeal to the Sec- retary on the question of the controller's jurisdiction, and holding that the controller cannot send the sugar bounty claimants to the court without their consent. It is as- sumed that Senator Manderson’s conten- tion will be that tne act of March 3, 1887, known as the Tucker act, which authorize: the head of a department to send certain cases to the Court of Claims “with the con- sent of the complainant,” repealed section 1063 of the Revised Statutes, passed June 25, 1868, under which the controller acted. This section does not make the consent of the complainant a condition to the reference to the Court of Claims. Tke controller, however, in his decision, commented upon this question and contended that the subse- quent act did not repeal the former. ait a little while. | f ©. J.
