Since then a year.y re- union of the men who fought to praserve the union has been beld, but never in this city since the close of the war till today. Kor days the grizzlea comrades have been gathering from every part of the union untit the attendance sur- passes moything ever before seen in Wash- ington. All the Lotels,tented camps, school- houses and a large number of privato resi- dences have boen thrown open to the crowd of men who defended the capital against in- vasion in the dark days of fraternal strife. Every avaliablo lot has o tent on, and in spite of the vast thrue everybody has bo:n cared for, sheltered agd fod. As the hours of the night wore on the bustle and stir which characterized the day and evening subsided and the statement, “All quiet on the Potomac,” was us true as fn the days when some of these samo patri- otic men slopt on their arms under the open sky on the panks of the historic river. Sunday broke bright and pleasant, and as the sun mounted and cast the genial warmth of early sutumn or late summer i was just the day for going about and enjoying life out of doors, The camps were astir early, avd ablutions ana breakfast attended to the visi- tors were realy to enjoy the day. The decorations of the city are claborate ard tasteful throughout, but along historio Pennylvapia avenus from the capitol building to ‘Pwenty-secoud streot, along which the union armies marched with service-worn uniforms and battle- scarred flags at the closo of the war thoy are particularly britliant. The public library re- ceived special care in this regara, and the white house and Treasury department are conspicuously beautiful and elaborate, Tho feature of the day was the inaugura- tior and dedication of Grand Army Place,as it is called. It is a magnificont streteh of greensward lying just south of tho white houso grounds. On this, by the arrange- ment of tents and stands, has heen laia out a reproduction of the closing campaign of the war, with Richmond in the center surrounded by groups of tents representing the various ariny corps which assisted 1n the wind-up of the war. A prominent feature in the grounds is a model of the old war vessel Ifearsarge, some portions of the original vessel, such as tho rudder post, vortholes and dead lateh being from the old vessel itsclf. The dedication of Grand Army Place was proceded by a parade of mewmbers of the regular army and navy, which was of special interest to the vetorans, affording an oppor- tunity to contrast thearms and accouterments now in use with those carricd during tho lato war. The procession consisted of tive brigades, fucluding troops of the regular army, naval batteries and marines, Distriot National Guard posts, Department of the Potomac Grand Army and Sons of Voterans. Tho rocession marched from Second strect up Ponnsylvana avento to_the trousury build- ing, where it was reviewed by Vice Pres dent Morton,thence to Grand Army Place, ‘After the parado Vice President Morton was ascorted to Grand Army Place and was received with a salute from tho guns of the Kearsarge. Ho took his place on_the stand veside Commander-in-Chief Palmer. ~Prayer was offered by Chaplain-in-Chiof Payne of Florids, and then General Palmer delivered the introcuctory address. neral Palmer, commander of tho Grand Army, received o 'telegram from President Harrison expressing his earnest regret at his inability to be prosent at tho reunion on account of tho illness of Mrs, Harrison. neral Paimer in _bis address dwelt on 1he glorious record of the union armies, re- ferred with feeling to the absence of be- Joved dead comrades and spoke regretfully of the enforced absence of President Harrison, paying wibute (o him as a soldier, president and indiviaual. Viee ¥ ton's Addr Vice President Morton, having first read the president’s telegram of regret at his ab- sence, then detivered the formal dedication address, us follows: *‘Sorrow that binds us together calls me to take the place in these ceramonies of the president, whom you would instinetively turn to as a com- raco and commander-in-chief of tho arwy andanavy of the United States.

The west sesms to regard the location of the next encampment as he:'s by right next yoar, and with sanguine confidence that what is hers she will securo, has two cities 10 the tield striving for the encampment. Todianapol's is the first in the field and is pushing its case the more vigorously, but Intely Lincoln, Neb,, has vegun to urge its claims. Thus far these are the only cities suggested for the encampment. Indianapo- 11s has securcd a promise 6f very cheap rates for the veterans from the Hoosier capital to the World's fair, and has a strong_reinforos- ment toits state followlng in the Chicego Posts, who are for indianapolis. Lincoln developed preat sirength last year in the competition, in which Washington won, and this year tho Nebraskaas represent that because they were beaton last yea thelr capital should be selocted at this en- campmont. Lincoln has a stroug support from the west and will make a good fight. For Commander-in-Chief, Four active candidates aro in the field for succession to Commander-in-Chief Paimer. They aro: Colonel R. H. Warfield of Cali- fornia, Colonel Charies P. Lincoln of the Department of the Potomac, Captain A. G Welssert of Wisconsin and Brigadier Gen- eral S, H. Hearst of Ohio. Colonel Warfield has a united following in tho far wost and friends in all parts of tho country. Colonel Lincoln seems to be the leader in the race, but custom has always given tho position of senior vice commandery to tho encampment city, and as Colonel Lincoln is a resident of Washington nis selection would make a procedent that might ve troublesome heroafter, # Colonol H./Pipes has been endorsed for senior vice commandery.

She has coustantly expressed a strong dosire to go to Washington, uud the president and ather members of tho family are also anxious 1o bave her taken to Washingtoo, provided it can be douo with any degree Of safoty. Dr. Trudea of Saranac was liere this wmorn- ing and had a consultation as 1o the cuse. We found Mrs. Harrison very imuch im- proved and that there was no reproduction of fluid Yo the chiest cavity to any extent. In viow of the faot that the’ president and his family wish her removal to Washington, it has been decided to move ber now, lnstead of at @ later period, because in two or three days ber condition might not permit her re- moval. The fluid in the ploura is liable to be reproduced at auy time, and, of course, such appearance diminishes her chances of recovery. As the opportuuity for her re- moval seems more favorable now than it may be later, the president and family bave taken the respousibilivy of the undertaking, Mrs, Harrison passed a very comfortable nigh aud is fecliug much stronger this morning. ‘P'he presidentiul party, wcludiag Mrs Harrison, will leaue hiere “at noon tomorrow and are expected to reach Washington Wednesduy mornivg. The details of the trip are purposcly withheld in order tbat the journey may be made as quletly as possivle. One of the principal diiculties of the trip will be the removal of the lovalia from the covtage at which sho now lies to the railroad station at Loou Lake, adistance of three miles over a rough mountain road. The transfer will be made in u long covered wagon, especially adapted 1o the road, and 80 arranged as 10 receive the cot on which Mes. Harrison will be carried from Lhe cot- tage. There are considoravle miset to the result of the removal, but ner verson concerned in Mrs. Harrison considers that it s the only thing t under the circumstances, Secretary John Fostur of the State ¢ Ar mont arrived hero this morning from \,asn- ington and bad a long coyterence with tho president in regard to fordign affairs, It is loarncd that the trip of Mrs. Harrison from here to Now York is most likely to be made by way of Malone, Utlea, Albany and New York city, Mr. Goorge W. Boyd of tho Pennsylvania railrond will have goueral charge of tho trip. tlo wae especially requasted to do so by Mrs. Harrison. Ho will probavly arrive here this evening. Dr. Gardnor paid a visit to Mes, Harrlson about O o'clock this eveniug, and on his re- turn to the hotal ho said that Mes, Harrison was resting quietly and that thore was noth- ing 1n the caso so far as he could see at pres- ont that would necessitate any change in the plan of rewoving nor tomorrow to Wash ington. Goorgo V. Boyd, assistant passengor agont of the Pennsylvania rcad, will have entire charge of tho railroad arrangements, He is the porsonal friend of the family. As at present urranged the trip will be ‘mado by way of Malone, Moore's Junction, Platts burg, Albauy, 'Jersey City, Philadelpnia, Bultimore and' Washiigton, Tn view of the critical nature of the case, 1t is confidently expeoted that no demonstration or disturb. ance of any kind will occur at any of tho sta- tions at which the train may stop on the route.
