At that hour Com mander-in-chief Veazay will head tho line of march and after an hour's parade will roview the 40,000 or 50,000 veterans as they pass be- foro the magnificent reviewing stand on Woodward avenue, Today has been the reception day of tho encampment. 10 has been the initial fay, devoted by tho citizens of Datroit to tho pleasant duty of waiting upon the various bodies of the defenders of the union, which are rapidiy areiving from all pacts of the united country, Chora i3 a committes of s whoso duty 1t isto with tha moen \d the iadies of nd give them a and escort thom to their chosen headguarters, It is estimated that there are eighty thou sand visitors in the city tonizht, but the great crowd is not expected until tomorrow morning.

The fight for the location of tho next en- mpment is o pecaliar oue. The city named after ~“the father of his counrty” vies with the city christened in honor of the later “savior of his country,” and the riv- alry is sharp between Washington and Lincoln, The cazital of the nation has many influential frionds on_tho ground, but the cnergetic littlo city of Nebraska has entered tho fight with a wostern vim and it is win- ning many friends. Still it is no injustice to Lincoln, but rather a justifiable statemont of facts to say that from present indications Washington 1s in the lead and iv will gain the hovor ualess tho delegations to arrive to- morrov from Iliinois, Missouri and somo of the wostern and southwestern states cast their influence for tha capital of Nebraska. It is this influence which LAncoln claims aud upon which her eitizens chiefly rely. 1ts Advantages Set Forth. H. M. Bushnell of the Lincoln delegates says that Lincoln is the center of a vast ter- ritory in whicn reside 300,000 voterans, all of whoim would prefer Lincoln to Washington orany other city. The city can_accommo- 000 peoplo he thinks. The gentle- ues that Liucoln should have the next year's rounion on the ground that the encampment has mot wost of the Mississippi river but twice. “We have the support of South Dakota, Kansas, lowa, Colorado and other states,” said he, “and we snall sec the dologates as fust u$ possibio from other states."’ Theadvantage of Washington is principally due to the efforts which Secrotary Proctor, ex-Pension Commissioner Tanner” and many foderal office holders are_oxerting in behalf of the nation’s capital. Nebraska pomts to this influence as improper, and waintains that if the encampmont. goes to Was hington uoxt vear, the presidential election year, it will be charged by many that 1t is to be manipulatea for political purposes. This statement the Washington delegates deride as they cifo many reasons for an encampiment at the vational cupital.

ARMOUR WANTS THE EARTH, Not Satisfled with a Meat Mouopoly, He Trios to Gontrol Grain, MAY KNOCK OUT THE BOARD OF TRADE. Conl Dealers and Quarrymen Aftor the Trusts—Preparing for a Shorte age of Oars—Chicag a Pilgrimage. Cuieaco Beneav or Tie Bre, | Cricauo, Aug. 8, ) While the story that Phillip D. Armour and two other firms have effected a comploto monopoly of the packing interests of the city by makinga deal with the Union stock yaras company s still a topic of conversation in commercial circles, another story hus been sprung which credits Armour with planning a coup of even greater magnitude and in line with the vast monopolistic move ment by which, with perhaps the assistance of he might hove eventually to con- teol the entire produce of the city. Not con tont w usforring the srmerly done in the pork pit to his ofMi ited that Mr. Armour intends manipulato the grain market that the wheat pit will one day be but a gambling glost of its 1f. Fow peoplo excapt thoss on the wsido circles know that Mr. Armour las for controlled business in tho wheat Chidago board of trado, Oceas. hand hus been shown when people nav of the deal have run against was tho case in the 2 3 Sershaw deal i 1852 months M. Avmour controtled the entire grain trads and ran the price of wheat up to fabulous figures. If the grain trade be cont led 1in the same manner aud spirit as the deals in provisions, as the present combinations. suggest, it 18 only a question when tho Chicago board of trade will be veducod to level not very much above Milwaukee or Louis, or our own opon bourd of trad which is notoriously a place whers no actual stuff is handled. Heratofore the board of trade has specially boasted that 1ts members aliy receivod and paid for tho nearly four huundred mitlion of produce which has come to this city aonually: that they havo brought -this produce from tho nd sold it to foreign. customors agents, and thoy bavo been able to that if thero wus any gambling on ige it clustorod around this legitimate business, and could not be avoided without danger to log trade TRYING TO BREAK TRUSTS, It has been a notorious fact that coal deal ers throughout the country, have tor several years, by combuning, limited tho output, and compélied the consumer to pay exorbitant prices for this household necessity. Denlers who wero outside the trust were unable to obtain coal, and were forced out of business or brought bencath the yoke of the trust. The leading quarcymen have followed the examplo of the miners, and thoir mode of operation has been the same. Al days ago two coal dealers and A quarryman ap pearod before the United States district at- tornoy and made verbal complaints uzainst tho respective trusts with which they wers idgentifiod. Mr. Milcheist says: “It isa horriblo stato of affairs, and I wondoerat the patience of tho smaller dealers in submitting to the dictatos nd tyrannical rule of the trusts. They have broken away at lnst, and I tuink this is tho beginning of the end, tot only 1 Ilinois, but in every stato of thouuion.” The outcome of these cases will probably determino the strength and power of the anti- trust laws, and the proceedings will be closely watched by the country at large. A SHORTAGE OF CAIS, The mcreasing tra srnroads s begianing to ¢ rolling and several roads are urging coal shipp forward at once 5o as to avoid a shor fuel in many localities, owing to the inadility of the companies to supply cars. The cr of winter wheat is exceptiovally heavy and tho roads are finding their equipment well utilized. When the heavy tonnagoof spring wheat from the northwest is ready for shipment, the roads will find_their rolling stock inndequate to supply the demand for cars, and as the preforence will be ziven 1o the movement of grain, coal doalers will find it diticult to ob- tain a supply. PILGIINS START FOR TRIER. A party of 160 Chicagoans left the city to- day and will sail Wednesday from Now York on the Red Star line steamer F'riesland going divectly to Trior. the shrino of the holy cont of Christ, which i credited with having worked many miraculous curos.
