The great parade, hoaded vy the Colorado commanderies, made its appearance before tho roview stand at 10:30. There were so many good looking commanderies in line that'it would be impossibie to mention all, but every one of them deservos gre redit for the magnificent appoaracco they made. Tue scenes on the street during the parade were full of ifo and animation, KEvery other pOrson wore some sort of a badge or another, and, of course, Kuights Templar badges pre dominated, for the sisters, cousins, aunts and othier'velatives of these men were out in large numbers, The decorations showed up finely and aitracted much attention.

The vourthouse, the now postoflice building and other public structures were a sea of tacos It was a geod nutured, enthusiastic crowd, ready to eheer everything aud everybody. The lemonade stands and_peddlors of sand- wiches and other foods and drinks thrived, and many of the streot staud propriotors will become wealthy with today’s busine: Wires were stretched from telegraph pole to pole and from tree to tree to keep specti- tors from intruding on the marchers, The various commanderies were cheered s thoy passed along and expressions of delight were heurd on every side. There wasn't a poor looking commandery in the pavade. All mude good appearan® After the parade a scenc of greav confusion ensued.

" Frank B, Hiil, the chairmun of “the triennial executive committee, at- tended the graud mass meeting und offored officors of tho yrand cocampment a cordial greeting and introduced Jobn L. Routt, goy- ernor of tho state, and Platy Rogers, the muyor of Denver, each of whom delivered aadresses of welcome, General Carr, grand commander of Colorado, likewise extended a fratornal greeting. ln responding Grand Master Cobin spoke highly of the manner in which the Knignt Templars in g been received. He stated that everybody w. mwore than pleased with the reception that had been given thom nnd with all tuey bad scen in Denver and Colorado, aud their visit would be something they would always re member with & great deal of pleasure and satistaction.

A great deal of the time of the encampmeut will be taken up in considering the new ritual, upon which 8 speoial committen has boen working for ar past. ‘There will probably be sote con- sidernple time spent in settling the location of the twenty-sixth trlennial couclave, as 1wo or threo states are competing for th honor.

Loxooy, Aug. 0.—Ia the House of Com- mons todiy the first matter taken up wus the case of Egan, tho Iovincible, who was imprisonod under tho Crimss act. Howe Secretary Matthews saia ho conld not hold out any hopas for Ezan's ralease soon. Debate on the address was resumed. Mr. Gladstone spoke, 11s smd tho gov- ernment had departed feom all peacadents in uot resigaing whea the verdict of the coun- try wus agalast them, Tue house had met, but what for? ‘The quesn’s spsech told thom notbing.

Me. Gladstone added that in justice to the government he must say they were entitled Lo credit for what they did toward reiieving the distress caused by the land act of 187 but a psroetual coercion act not only violat civil rights between Eaglishmen and Irish- men, but was in the highest degree injurious 10 respect for the law and its admiuistration. As be had been asked questions respecting the continuance of coercion, he would reply at once that the coercion bill ought not to be rvetained on the statute book longer than re- quired by parliamentary usage. |Cries of “tear, hoar."| Mr. Glsdstone then proceeded to refer to the government's legislation. He com- plained that they had inflicted on Ireland a 210ss wrong in making her pretended rep- aration by a local governmont bill, too lim- ited to satisfy Irish waats or to offer any so- lution of tne'Irish troubles, Mr, Gladstone's Measure. Mr. Giadstone acknowledged that the de- bate could not, bo altogethor retrospective. He would not anticipate who would govern when tho present adminictration was dis- olaced. It was not possivie for a liberal goverament 1o say what measures tho would submit to parhament six wmonths honce. Attempts hat been mado to con- trast tho cluims of Ireland, as ugainst tho claims of Great Brituin, to the atwention of parliament. Much could bo said on both sides, but the ciaims of Ireland had for years been fu the foreiront of the battle and” still heid that position. [Opposition cheers, | The principles of his howe rulo bill were speeialiy well known. By its provisions thera would be a full and effoctual maintenance of imperial supremacy, while Ireland would be @iven the couduct of herown uffairs. Irish representation in the House of Com- mons was also contemplated under certain conditions. The bill for seven years past had had %is priwary and absorbing intercst, and it would o continue to the end. The houso would address itselt solely to a bill giving the Irish home governument. Landiords Will Be Given a Chance. Referring to the amnesty of frish political prisoners, Mr. Gladstone said it was impos- siblo for other than responsible ministers to give any pledge either for the revision or re- mission of seutences. In regard to cvictea tenaats he expressed the bope that duriug the autumn o voluntary arrangement be- tween landlords and tenants wouid obviate the necessity for such legislation as would become inevitable if no arvangements were made. In concluding his spsech, Mr. Gladstone recurred to the conservative argument that the Ivish majority was trying to coerce Eng- land. He held that such was the strength of Englund in relation to other kingdoms that ske uover could ve ccerced by them. She had a giant’s strengtn, but let her not use it liko o glant, It would bo most unfortunate if any party placod undue reliance in the power and strenztb of England against other members of the federation, in forgetfulness of the fact that, in the tong run, moral foreo would predominato over material force, On that predominance depended what should bo the first objoct of their desires, as 1t was their daily ofticial prayer—that union of heart and sentiment which constituted the truest basis of strength at home ana good fame throughout the civilized world, Balfour Spenks. Mr. Balfour followed Mr. Gladstone. He maintained that ths house had a right to kuow before iatrusting the government to the liverals what their policy was, and es- pacially when the party upon which Mr, Gladstore relied was broken into at least three aivisions, each owning a different leader. He protested against Mr. Glad- stoue’s describing the influence Irelund bad exercised inree:nt years on British politics as derived from moral considerations, Immoral cousideration, he said, was the right phrase, Mr. Gladstone's conversion to home rule was not due to moral foy but to material con- siderations.

Miles is now in command, fs likely to be extended at an early day so as to make it the most im- nortant army center in the Unitea States, At present the Department of Missouri, which has its headquarters at Chicago, is one of the lest of the eight aepartments, and Gonora! Milos has only five or six regl- ments under his command. But accord. Ing to plans now under consideration at the War department by which, as formerly, three divisions ~will be created, General Miles' commanda will 5001 to bo extended as to include the Dee partment of the Plattlo ana the Dapartment of Dakota, Buch of tbese departments are very extensive and oach will agd about ten regiments to General Miles' command. He wiil then have a fotal of about twenty-six regiments ceutaring from the Cnioago hoad- quarters, and as tho entire army consists of only mrh‘i regiments, General Miles' coms mand will embrace more than b q‘kh 3, tire United States army. 'l%s- lfi‘!l Wwhich are thus being work.d oat at the Way department come as a sequg. to a series of ups and downs which General Miles has had- Opposed Ge Mites, When the Sioux campaign occurred Gene eral Miles disupproved the action of Colonol IPorsyth in the Wounaed Knee engagemen but Secretary Proctor rejected General Miles’ disaporoval, and warmly commended Colonel Forsyth. General Miles' friends assort that the ‘secretary followed up this eriticism by making it further unpleasnny for General Miles. ORicers were detalled from Gaueral Miles' staff, who were well known to be personally distasteful to him, Finally the extonsive command which General Miles then enjoyed as head com- mander of the Division of the Missouri was avraptly terminated. Genoral Miles’ divi ion was divided into three departiments. Tha Departmens of the Dikota, with about ten regiments, was turned over to Brigadies Generat Merriwt, and the Department of the Platte, with about ton regiments, was turned over to Brigadier General Brooke. This left General Milos with a beggarly remnunt of only five or six companies in the Department of the Missouri, whic had its headquarters at Chicago. Secretary Proctor urged that it was desirable in time of peace to have the army divided into smuller commands. He therefore did away with the threo great divisions which hud previously existed, the Division of the Atlantic, the Division of the Pacific and the Division of the Missourl, and ostablished eight departments, scattered over the country. Wil Restore H1is Command, ‘The change not only deposea General Milor from the command of a division, but it lef{ him with one of the smallest, if not the smallost dopartment in the country. Sine Secretary Elkins succooded Mr. Procto steps have quietly been taken to undo the work of tho formersceretary, General Scho- fietd, commander of the army, has never liked the change institulea vy Secretary Proctor, 1t is through General Schofiela’s efforts that tho War department 18 now considering a plan to go vack to the old div'sion system, Wit General Schofield in its favor it'ls be. lieved at the department that Secretary Klkins' approval of the change will be made ut an carly date.

When the ohange is made Omaha and St Paul will be brought under the command of General Miles, and their reports will be made to him instead of direct 1o Washington. Miscellaneous, James E.
