Both fac- tions are claiming victory, but it must te admitted that those who are oppesing the aspirations of Senator Quay are the most serene and confident. The junior senator has headquarters at the Lochiel hotel, where he hag put in a very busy diy and night. The delegates are slow in arriving, not more than fifty of the having reach d the c'ty.

This com- mittee repaired to the Commonwealth hotel and found Chairman Gilkeson, to whom ex- Lieutenant Governor Watres read the reso- lution. When this had been done Mr. Gilke- son sald: "I have not called the state com- mittee together and I have no business to lay before it.” The committee these ° of the the held Quay members of returned to the Lochiel headquarters and made its report, after which a resolution was adopted that a committee of nine be appointed on credentials and au- thorized to make up the roll of delegates to the state convention. The committee was in- structed to make its report at a meeting of the state committee to be held at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning at the Lochlel headquar- ters. A resolution was also adopted to ap- polnt a state commitice to ascertain what arrangements had been made for the admis- sion of delegates, members of the press and athers entitled to the privileges of the floor and as to the manner in which the votes upon varisus propositions will be taken.

PARIS, Aug. 26.—In an article on the Wal- ler case and the incident of the refusal of the Castine's commander to salute the garrison at Tamatave, the Temps says the treaty recognizing the Hova supremacy, which was cited as a reason for the Castine’s action did not prevent America in 1887 from asking for the exequatur of ex-Consul Campbell through the French resident, and from de manding an indemnity, also through the resident, for the owners of an American ship pillaged on the coast. The Temps also asserts that the s officers, disregarding the port regulations, went ashore before the harbor master had examined the vesse papers. The scuffle which ggeurred on the wharf between the Castine's ‘officers and the French harbor officials has been detailed in previous dispatches, * LONDON, Aug. 27.—The Daily News, in an editorial on the Waller case, savs: *The I'rench are in a bad way in Madagascar, and in addition by their ridiculonsly severe sen- tence of Waller they have involved them- selves in a grave international complication There is a cartain irony in the mischanc vhich has embroiled them with a power so absolutely indifferent to the Madag ques tion. They must have gone out of thelr way to fix a quarrel on the American consul. It is their misfortune that these things were lone for them, not by statesmen, but by sol diery.

Eighteen hundred tents are pitched for the ve'erans at amp Sherman, and when the ranks of the ational Guards are closed there will be twenty-two compantes of infantry, a troop of cavalry and a full battery, to say nothing of twenty-five state bands. The camp followers constitute a small army in themselves, and each day's attractions on the program will draw thousands of men, women and children from far and near. Hastings has assumel a gala day appearance; every shop window tastefully decorated and the whole city is a mass of red, white and blue, The local: commitiee has given weeks of untiring labor to preparation for the gather- ing of the old soldiers and the school of in- struction of the state militla, To W. M Dutton, president of the committee, to Wil- llam Broch, secretary, and to Fred Renner, quartermaster and tre is es clally due for the minagement of the under- taking, but the success of the preparations is the resuit of the combined effort of every merchant and business man in the town, who left no stone unturned to make the o of Hastings a synonym for hosp.tal'ty. General Gage of the Grand Army, Colonel C. J. Bills of the Second regm.nt and Major Fechet have been on the grounds for several days looking after the arrangement of the camp.

The National Guar! are under the orders of General Colby Major Fechet of the regular a charge of the school of instracti'n. The camp is fortunate in being located in the old fair grounds, which gives it the ac vantage not only of the buildings, but also light and water. Electric lights are gen- erously located in every part of the grounds and city water Is supplied in abundance. The ladies of the Presbyterian church haye charge of a mammoth dining hall, into which the’ horticultural buflding has been transformed. Another good use has been made of the grand stand on the old race track, which will furnish a large and com- fortable scating capacity for the audience of the speakers and for those who gather to listen to the stories of the camp fire. Across the parade grounds each incoming company of the state militia is working like nest of beavers pitching its tents. The National Guard has been less forcunate tha the Grand Army in the selection of u for camp.
