The parade of the civic and industrial organizations | in the afternoon with all the illustra- tions of peace and prosperity and hap- | piness that could be produced was the | most magnificent pageant ever wit- nessed in this city.

There were about 1200 national dele- gates present when the encampment proper was called tc order at Music | Hall at 10 a. m., with Charles Went- zel as officer of the day. The welcom- ing address was dellvered by Governor Bushnell of Ohio, with supplemental addresses by Mayor Tafel of Cincin- nati, M. E. Ingalls, chairman of the citizens' committee and president of the Big Four and Chesapeake and Ohio railways, and Director General W. B. Melish. In his response Commander-in- Chief Gebin referred eloquently to the attractions of the week and the lavish entertainment of the citizens of Cin- cinnatl. General Gobin wore the fine gold watch and chain that had been presented to him at the camp fire last night by his old comrades of the Forty- seventh Pennsylvania Regiment, and on the assembling of the encampment | he was presented with a filne gavel | made of historic timber. At the conclusion cf these interesting preliminaries the great hall was cleared {of all but the members entitled to a | volce in the proceedings, and in execu- | tive sesslon various reports were sub- mitted. Commander-in-Chief Gobin sald in part: As comrades of the Grand Army of the | Republic we can overlook the events of the year just passed with feelings of con- gratulation and just pride. To our fellow- soldiers and sailors of the present era we | extend our congratulations as heartily as |1t is in our power to do so, recognizing, as we do, that our organization and our | | teachings’ during the last thirty years | have been effective in preparation for this glorious result. ‘ To our esteemed comrade, President Wil- | liam McKinley. and his Secretary of War, | | our past commander-in-chief R. A. Al-| | ger, we have given our individual and or- | | ganized support in the arduous duties im- \Knsed upon them. Never in the world's jstory has there been an occasion when | the experience of leaders in national strife rendered them so thoroughly competent | to meet the difficulties encountered. The congratulations of the Grand Army of the Republic, aye, of the nation, are due them, and from this present encamp- | ment there should go forward no uncer- tain words as to our united support to the Government in solving the difficult problems before them. Confident are we | that the result will justify the supreme | faith which we repose in these, our com- | rades, and through their efforts we be | leve the nation will continue under the | | providence of Almighty God to the higher | position which he has evidently designed | for it. | Referring to his visits to departments | in the South, the commander-in-chief | satd: | In the South the greeting of ex-Con- federates who participated fn many of | our campfires was exceedingly agree- | able and was preliminary to the devo- tion to country and flag manifested in their resnonse to the call of the Presi- | dent. une feature, however, which «ould not but Impress me is the fact that the color line still exists. There are many colored soldiers In some of the | departments laboring under great dis- advantages. The race prejudice remains, and the chasm seems to be widening: it seems impossible to overcome it, and for this I can only express my extreme re- | gret. What the remedy is, if any, I am | unable to suggest. General Gobin discussed the pension question at length, and said: All that the old soldier demands is | that the existing pension laws be ad- ministered with justice and liberality in accordance with the laws when enact- ed, and which were made to provide for the soldler an. relieve his necessities to COLONEL SEXTON NOW COMMANDER OF GRAND ARMY Elected at the Annual Encamp- Veterans of the Nation. Commissioner of Pen- Making Certain Rulings. the full extent to which he is entitled. This is due him, anu there should be no cavil or question about his receiving it. In his report Alfred Lyth, the senior vice-commande--in-chief, the visit of Post No. 2, Department of New York, to Hamilton, Ont., saying that the cheers which greeted the comrades on arrival and the reception on the part of the citizens of Hamilton were illustrations of the recent draw- ing together in sympathy and feeling of the two great English-speaking na- tions. The report of the adjutant general, Thomas J. Stewart, contained the fol- lowing figures as to the membership: | The members in good standing June 30, 1897, numbered 319,456. during the year was, by muster in, 10,940; transfer, 4275; reinstatement, 12,687; from delinquent reports, 4551; total, 32,453. The losses were, by death, 7383; honorable discharge, 1190; trans- fer, 4471; suspension, 25,033; dishonor- able discharge, 165; by delinquent re- ports, 7041; by surrender of charter, 1026; total, 46,306. So the members in good standing June 30, 1898, numbered 305,603. The number of members re- maining suspended at that date was 36,668. Reports received from depart- ments showed that 8610 members pre- viously reported as suspended had been dropped from the rolls. The amount expended in charity during the Yyear was $171,903. The report of the quartermaster gen- eral, A. J. Burbank, showed that the The gain receipts during the year were $17,195 | and the expenditures $14,694, ance on hand being $3902. Alonzo Williams, inspector general, reported that the organization is still strong and in good condition, although rapidly decreasing in numbers. It was still doing very efficient work through- out the land. ‘When the annual reports were being read, especially Gobin’s, there was con- siderable cheering at the mention of President McKinley's name, but when the name of Secretary Alger was men- tioned in connection with the recent war there was an uproarious demon- stration in his favor. After the reports had been referred to their respective committees, many resolutions were of- fered specifically indorsing the admin- istration of General Alger in the War Department. The temper of the en- campment, as shown to-day, indicates that the resolutions will indorse the management of the recent war. A resolution was introduced to have the school histories use the term of ‘“the war between the States,” instead of the “war of the rebellion.” It is quite likely that resolutions will be the bal- adopted providing for the use of the term of var for the preservation of the Union.” There will also be an effort made to secure representation for the colored men in the national encamp- ment. The first business in order at the afternoon session was a lengthy report from the commlittee on pensions. It cited the facg that extensive investiga- tions had been undertaken by the de- partments of different States, and after close inquiry there single case of fraud discovered which could be traced to a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. The report made a somewhat ex- tended comparison of the work accom- plished now and during the last year of the administration of General Grant. This showed that the efficiency of the department in the way of prompt dis- posal of claims had been vastly in- creased. The committee gave figures showing that the death rate was rap- idly increasing among pensioners. It is estimated that the increase in the number of deaths will be such that in 1920 the number of pensions will be re- duced to a little over 250,000, and that in 1640 the list will be obliterated. When a motion was made to accept and adopt the report,Corporal Tanner of New York arose to discuss it. He said that in the main he agreed with all the committee had reported, but with that portion of the report which dealt with the administration of the pensions officers he did not agree, and he went on to speak in criticism of the present Commissioner of Penslons, Hon. H. Clay Evans. he said: :I stand ready to be responsible here :t elsewhere for all statements I may ke on this subject and I declare that Commissioner Evans called his chiefs of divisions together and using lan- guage which indicated intense feeling, if not anger, instructed them to disre- gard totally every application based on deafness or rheumatism. He fur- ther intimated that if any one declined to accept his suggestion he would find chiefs who would obey his orders.” Corporal Tanner declared that in his opinion it was clear that the man who would make such an.order had him- self never heard the sound of cannon nor slept in the open air, and he was not surprised, therefore, to find that the Commissioner of Pensions had an army record which consisted of three months and sixteen days as a sergeant in the commissary department.

The mat- ter was disposed of finally by postpon- ing it until after the report of the com- mittee on resolutions should be re- ceived. Business was interrupted by the en- trance of a committee of three ladies from the Woman's National Relief Corps, headed by Mrs. Martin, the Na- Jtional president. Mrs. Martin stated that when the call for help arising from the war with Spain came she had no authority to use the funds of the corps in that way, but she took the responsibility of send- ing out a call for an emergency fund and in this way had coliected a large sum of money which was immediately applied to relleve the wants of our sol- diers. She closed by requesting the national encampment to give the Re- lief Corps authority to change its con- stitution so that its funds can be used for the relief of soldiers serving in the war with Spain. The resolution was referred to the committee on resolu- tions. This was followed by a delegation from the Sons of Veterans, Senator Thurston of Nebraska being the speaker. e made a brief but eloquent speech on behalf of the Sons of Vet- erans. A still further interruption of regular business was the presentation to ex- Commander-in-Chief Clarkson of Ne- braska of a magnificent silver set in an oaken case. The ex-commander, with deep feeling, made a response express- | ing his thanks for the high honor shown him. The choice of the place for the next encampment was then taken up. The pending question was upon substitut- ing Denver for Philadelphia. Com- mander May of Denver spoke for his locality, saying that $50,000 had been already pledged for the entertainment of the encampment. He promised to the delegates and their wives a three days’ trip through the mountains about Denver free of cost and gave alluring promises of favorable railroad rates. He was followed by a delegate from Pittsburg, who made an equally elo- quent plea for Philadelphia, balancing the seashore against Denver’s moun- tains and naming all the natural ad- vantages of Philadelphia. When the time came for voting it was suggested that instead of voting to substitute Denver for Philadelphia votes should be taken directly by calling the roll and letting the delegates vote for their choice. This was done, and the result was: Philadelphia 359, Denver 295. A motion was made afterward to go into the . election of commander-in- chief. Although it was then late in the afternoon the motion was adopted, and immediately the name of Alfred D. Shaw of Watertown, N. Y., was pre- sented by a delegate of that State. General John C. Black of Illinois placed in nomination James A. Sexton of Chicago. Other candidates were an- nounced. The roll of States was called and the vote announced, showing the election of James A. Sexton, who re- ceived 424 votes, while Albert D. Shaw received 241. Sexton being called, re- turned his thanks in very brief form, and the encampment immediately ad- Journed until 9 o’clock to-morrow. The commander-elect entered the volunteer army in 1861 as a private in the Sixty-seventh Illinois. Later he at- tained the rank of captain in the Sev- enty-second Illinois, and still later be- came colonel of the regiment. At the close of the war he was serving upon the staff of Major General A. J. Smith, commander of the Sixteenth Army Corps. Colonel Sexton is a manufac- turer of stoves and hollow ware in Chi- cago. He was Postmaster in Chicago during President Harrison’s term. The sixteenth annual convention of the National Women'’s Relief Corps of the G. A. R. convened at 9 o’clock this morning in the Scottish Rite Cathedral. The annual report of the national sec- retary, Mary R. Shepard of Missouri, showed an aggregate of 144.246 mem- bers, a gain of 4099 members during the past year. The report of the national treasurer, Isabel T. Bagley of Ohio, showed the assets of the organization to be $18,997 and no liabilities. The gen- eral fund now on hand is $12,264. The election of officers will take place to- morrow. On suspension of the order of busi- ness the Women's Rellef Corps elected the following officers: Mrs. Flo Jamison Miller of Chicago, president; Mrs. Mary Wentzel of Cin- cinnati, senior vice president; Ellen T. Daniels, West Virginia, junior vice president; Mrs. Caroline Bell, Milwau- kee, national treasurer. The following were elected members of the executive board: Chairman, Mrs. Ella F. Burt, Rhode Island; Mrs. Alida Rue, Knoxville, Tennessee; Kate B. Vallandingham, South Dakota. SAN BERNARDINO HAS A SENSATION Sexton Accused of Re- selling Graves. With evident feeling| QUITE A THRIFTY BUSINESS SKELETONS THROWN OUT FOR NEW BURIALS. Family Plats in Old City Cemetery Leveled Off and Sold Again. Witnesses Secured for Investigation. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 8—A sensation has been caused here by J. C. Wees, chairman of the City Trustees’ committee on cemeteries, preferring charges before the board against N, H. Bartor, sexton of the city cemetertes of San Bernardino. Two cemeteries, one old and one new, are side by side. The former has been located since the town was founded. but some yew.rs ago, it being almost impossible ‘o secure new lots, a new one vas laid out. It now comes to light that for some time past lots and even family plats have been resold in the old cemetery. > Mr. Wees heard of it and investigated with the result that it seems the sex- ton has been able to make a consider- able profit in this way. He would level off old-time graves when relatives left the country, died or were unknown, and resell them. Witnesses have been se- cured who will swear to having -seen skeletons thrown out to make places for new burials on several occasions. A full examjnation will be made at the next meeting of the board. Doubt- less prosecution will follow and the cemetery be closed to all except owners of plats. SALE OF A ROSSLAND MINE.

FILIPINOS the Philippine insurgent leaders is daily becoming more dangerous. So open is their opposition to the American au- thorities that the situation is strained, and reconciliation may be difficult. | What makes the situation more troublesome is the undisguised rivalry between the followers of General Agui- naldo, the self-proclaimed dictator, and General Pio Pilar, who covets' the hon- or Aguinaldo has acquired. General Pio Pilar is in command of the insurgent troops stationed in South Manila. He uses them in a way that will be most annoying to Aguinaldo, and at the same time he makes every effort to show his utter disregard of the American officlals. His forces continue to patrol the city, encouraging lawless- ness in every direction. They are con- stantly annoying the American troops, who are engaged in the difficult task of preserving order. Aguinaldo’s course is no less annoy- ing. He no longer-attempts to conceal his hostility to the officials who repre- sent the United States. Yesterday he is- sued an order nrohibiting his soldiers from entering the American/lines. This course is probably deemed necessary in order to“prevent them becoming well disposed toward the Americans, so as to destroy his power by repudiating his leadership. The attitude of the rival leaders can- not fail to injure the cause qf Philippine independence. It will certainly pre- vent the presentation of a strong case before the Paris ePace Commission on behalf of the Filipinos. OTIS HAS NOT ASKED FOR REINFORCEMENTS NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—The Herald's ‘Washington correspondent sends the following: President McKinley has formally approved the course pursued by Major General Otis, commanding the American military force in Manila, in his treatment of Aguinaldo and the insurgents whom he commands. This approyal was communicated to Major General Otis, and was in response to a cablegram -he sent showing that a dis- quieting condition exists in Luzon. The contents of General Otis’ dispatch are withheld from publication by the de- partment officials, but it was stated positively to-day that the American commander had not asked for addi- tional troops, and there i{s no present intention of reinforcing his command. The most the department proposes to do is to send several regiments to Honoluly, from which point they can be transported to Manila. Under the instructions sent to Gen- eral Otis he is directed to compel the insurgents to recognize the cessation of hostilities agreed to between the United States and Spain, and require Aguinaldo and his forces to recognize the military occupation and authority of this Government. A great deal of confidence is ex- pressed by the administration officials of the ability of Rear Admiral Dewey and Consul Williams to handle Agui- naldo without any resort to force, but at the same time it is felt that it will be part of wisdom to prepare for any emergency that may arise. For that reason troops will be sent to Honolulu, where they will be 2200 miles nearer to Manila, and the battle-ships Oregon and Iowa will be sent to the Pacific t be in a position to reinforce Rear Ad- miral Dewey whenever the occasion de- mands. t e e NO FRICTION OVER THE RETIREMENT OF NATIVES WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Adminis- Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. by James Gordon Bennett. BECOMING DANGEROUS Rivalry Between Aguinaldo and Pilar Partly the - Cause. Attitude of the Native Leaders Tends to Injure the Cause of Independence. Copyrighted, 1898, BY SOL N. SHERIDAN. MANILA, Sept. 8.—The attitude of | tration officlals have had no recent cause to feel that a critical condition of affairs was near at hand with the insurgent forces of the Philippines. It will be recalled that M.jor General Merritt, before starting for Paris, ad- vised the insurgent leader Aguinaldo that the authority of the United States in and about Manila must be respected, and that in the interest of a quiet and orderly administration of affairs it was desirable for the insurgents to vacate the suburbs of the city within a rea- sonable time. At that time Aguinaldo gave assur- ances of co-operating witl. the Ameri- can forces toward the maintenance of order, and there has been no reason to believe that his adherents would give serious opposition to their removal from the suburbs. The time within which the movement is to be accom- plished has not expired, according to the understanding, and a satisfactory arrangement is expected before the time arrives. In the meantime no reports have come from General Otis, who is Acting Governor in the absence of General Merritt, as to friction with Aguinaldo over his retirement. c Repogts have been circulated that the President received a dispatch from General Otis yesterday saying that he had given Aguinaldo until to-day to vacate the suburbs or else tuke the consequences. This is erroneous, how- ever, as no such crisis has been report- ed by General Otis, and the reports ap- pear to have grown out of the original orders given by General Merritt. There is no uneasiness in official cir- cles over our relations with the insur- gents, as the American officers at Ma- nila have thus far shown an ability to cope with the situation so tactfully as to avoid friction and entangiements. PRESIDIO TROOPS MAY BE RUSHED TO MANILA NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—A Washington specfal to the Journal says: As ar- ranged to-night orders have been given for all troops at the Presidio at San Francisco, about 7000, to proceed at once to Honolulu. But the transports carrying them are not to return. It is believed by those who should know that these transports will not stop at Honolulu longer than a day, and will at once steam across the Pacific to Ma- nila. So grave is the situation that or- ders were given at the White Hcuse that none of the officials of the War Depagtment should give out any infor- matioR on the subject. After consultation at the White House this morning it was stated at the War Department that the troops at San Francisco would be hurried to Honolulu. The troops designated for this service are the First Washington Volunteers, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth California Volunteers, Twentieth Kan- sas, First Jowa, First Wyoming, First Colorado and First Utah Battery.
