National Capitol Selected as the Place for the Next Reunion. | COMMANDER VEAZEY'S OPENING ADDRESS. Business Session of the Encampment nally Opened—Women's Relief Corp Begin Their Ninth Annual National Convintion, Derrotr, Mich,, Aug. 5. —Thenext encamp- ment of the Grand Army of the Republic will be held at tho national capital, Wash- ington, D. C. This was decided today on the first ballot and although tho partisans of Lincoln feel disappointed, thero is a general resolve by tine veterans from all quarters to make tho encampment at Washington one worthy of the capital of the union. The twenty-fifth annual encampment of the Girand Army of the Republic began its formal session this morniug. All that art and culture could do to make the mam- moth building attractive hadbeen ex- erted in the decorations which adorn the interior. Despite the immensity of the hall it was crowded to the utmost. A fow minutes bafore the opening General Veazey and staff entercd the hall and were escorted to the grand stand. The uppearance of tho commander-in-chief was the signal for ap- plause. General Veazey rapped the assemblage to order. Ho aunounced the formal ovening of the cncampment and dirccted the adjutant wenBral to call tho roll of the departments, Every stato and territory in tho union was reprosented and the roll showed the fullest attondance of delegates in the history of the organization. General Veazey's Address. The opening addroess of the commander.in- chief was listened to with enrapt attention : tomrades,” said Gonoral Veazey, “this is the silver anniversary of a birth. The wedding oceurred when tho bridegrooms, the youtn of the landenlisted in 1ts defense. Abrabam Lincoln celebrated the marriago nuptials, Columbia was the bride. Her vesture was the nation’s flag. The pledgo to reestablish that flag over the dominion of so- cession, was the pricc of her hand. When that pledge bad been grandly redeemed through a bloody strife, through suffering and death, and after tho victors had placed on the brow of the bride anew diadem,whoso gems were honor, valor, liberty, unstained with slavery, a country umted and free, the fruit of that marringe was the Grand Avmy of the Republic, an offspring worthy of ifs royal parentage.” Reference was then made by the general to the increasing esteem in whicti the Grand Army of the Revublic_is held by the pooplo genorally and comrades in particular. A touching allusion was made to the numerous deaths in the order during the pust year. Special mention was made of Sherman” and Porter. A tribute was paid to the present and prospective useiuluess of the Sons of Veterans, an organization which was increas- ing in membership yearly. Touches the Negro Qu stion. In touching on tho ‘negro ques tlon” as affecting the Grand Army of the Republic, General Veazoy reviewed the difficuities which had existed over colored posts in the department of Lowisiana and “Mississippi ever since it was_organized in 1836, Continuing, he said: “The charge lad been made from different sources that the organization of the posts was tainted with such irregularitios as to be utterly destructive of their logal oxistence. Our rules and regulations provide a plain proe dura for the department to pursuo in order to test the validity of such charzes. As the d partment of Louisiana and Mississippi nover, 50 far as I am intormed, resortod to that pro- cedure, I have held with those posts that they must bo rogarded as having u legal oy istenco until otherwiso regulariy adjndi- cated.” ‘T'he commander-in-chiof ordered an inv tigation by the luspector general into the affairs of this dopartment on the rocom- mendation of the inspector general that this oncampment authorize the e 1on of a sey arate department covering the same to tory as the several existing departments in the south. This is supported by memorials addressed to_the commandor-in-chief by six posts in the department whose nembership 15 composed of colored comrades. In regard 10 this he said: “From the various sources of iu- formation ~ accessible to me, I be- licve the large majority of both white and colored comrades in_the depart- ment of Louisiana and Mississippi is strong in the conviction that it would be for the best interest of all to have separate departments in Louisisna and in some of the other gulf states made u{) of such posts as may apply to come in to and having concurrent jurisdic- on with the departments already estiblished in such states. I have no policy to urge otin- or thon such us will bo for the best interests of the order and at the same time protect the rights of all comrades." During the vear now closing the Grand Army of the Républic paid out from its relief Tund $354,000. During tac same period the Woman's' Relief Corps paid to distressed comrades $153,000. o Preserve Grant's Last Pesidence. ng to the McGregor cottage, where al Grant died, Goneral Veazey recom mended tho encampmont to secure from the government an appropriation for the main- fenance of the property and its preservation in the same condition it was at the demise of General Grant. Failing to secure tho ap- propriation by congress, he suggested thut a tourist fund” bo established or the main- tenauce of the cottage be insured by charg- ing a foo to visitors. ‘The question of creating a memorial hall at Decatur, 11L, the birthplace of the Grand Army of the Republic, was hrought up in tho v of a recommendation that this encamp- ment take action to aid the project. In rezard to the disability pension bill pa by the last_congress, Gieneral Veazoy said if it is not a wise it is certainly a liberal meusure. The labors of the Grand Army of the Iepublic pension committen wer also re- viewed. Tho commander-in-chief urged the encampment to renew its effort to procure an amendment to the re- vised statutes which would give preference in appointments to eivil ofice to union vet- erans The only new department chartered tho past year was that of [udian territory. Tho commander-in-chief closed his address with a feeling refercnce to the observance of Momorial day and the high principles which actuated the and Army. "The declaration of tho commander-in-chief in favor of the establishment of a depart- mont for negro veterans created a decided sensation, The whites of Louisiana and Mississipi are overjoyed at his recommenda- tion. Reports of Officers, Tho reports of tho other ofticers of the stall were presented and spread before the encampment. The adjutant goneral's report for the period ending June 40, 1301, as far as the rewwns wero reccived, shows in good standing forty-five depart ment, with 7,409 posts, and 303,067 comrades in ' goed standing, The sum expended in charity as reported for the year ouding Juno 40, 1501, was $334,000, The total number of deatts for the year was 5,540, The quartermastor general’s raport showed assots of §25,000. The roport of the (irant monument fund showed it had been sugmented but $247.01 during the past year, "The inspector goneral's report, after detail- ing the condition of thu order, says in con- clusion: “Our comrades in ‘the stronger and more vprosperous departments should not be forgetful of the necessities of those in the weaker and less favored terri tories, and should assist and encourage them in the good work whenever opportunity offers.” The report of the judge advocate general derives its chief interést from his decision on the vexed race question. As his conclusions differ from the recommendations of the com- mandor-in-chief, the dispute is only further complicated. The decision is as ~follows uestion proposed is whether there can law. fully be two departments covering the same THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THUI DAY, territory at the samg time—for instance, a department mado wp of white posts and another of black post& st one of foreign born and another of native. | think the question must be answered in the negative, The ides is contrary to theusages and universal undor: standing of the order hitherto, It additional partmonts in the. same states may be formod on lines of color or birth, they may bo on lines of personal antipathies or ipon disagreoments of an¥ kind.

Washington Wins Hands Down. The afternoon session of the national en- campment was devoted almost entirely to the discussion regarding the selection of the place for holuing the After a long and heated debato the matter was settled on the first ballot by Washington securing a majority of 27 votes over Lincoln. Resolutions " wero unanimously adopted re- questing congress to pass a law authorizing the interstate commerce commission to per- mit railroads to give reduced rates to all sol- diors and sailors of the war of 1561-5 attend- ing national encampments, The committeo on seniority of the depart ments was continued auother year quest of certain departments who w furnish further evidenco before a final report was made, A resolution was unanimously adopted limiting the length of parade atall future cucampment to two wiles, The sessions of the encampment araheld behind closed doors Veterans approach un- suspectingly and proceed to enter the hall, butare stopped with “Countersign, vlease countersign,” aud there is a look of astonish’ next encampment ment and dismay as they turn .

The Now Jersoy caucus last evening voted in favor of Mr. Hedges, but Mr. Hedges said that their sup- port has been changed to Palmer.

The attendance was large and the reports of the various oficers showed the order in a Hourishing conaition, The convention was callod to order by the national presigent, Mary S. Michnoy of Den- nison, Mich. The opening address of the president was devoted chicfly to the growth of the order during the, past year. “The membeors of our order,” said the president, “‘has steadily increased in num- bers and influence during the year and it is roprosented 1 every stato in the union but one, Alabama, and ail the territories except Indian, Idabo and Alaska. Even Canada has u post which is attached to the department of Vermont.

To their appeals for help no rosponso was made by tho National Woman's Relief Corps and depart- wents following their example, the burden of tho rolief was thrown upon tho depart- ments wherein tho need existed, To tho corps of these dopartments great credit is due for the large amount of work they have done. ““A most princely gift Is the appropriation by the Ohio logisiature of $25,000 for tho eroction of a cottage upon the home grounds.
