V-mattox and other celebrated battle
- fields. ’ ‘
F -m
years ago the victorious" Lnion ar-
mies, fresh from the battlefields of
'he Civil War and the surrender at
ppomasox, marched down Pennsyl-
1nia avenue in Washington.
It was a grand review of the war-
carred legions of Grant and Sher-i
mm, of Meade and Sheridan, and the}
other famous commanders l
whose.
“boys in blue" had preserved the Un-I
ion. .PresidentJohnson and General.
Grant were in the reviewing stand as:
the veterans swung proudly p851 to;
the exulting music of their hands»;
while, the battle flags that had flownfi
on a hundred bloody fields waved1
over the triumphant host. I
This thrilling pageant, of national
interest. will be .reproduced as far est
possible during. the forty-ninth an-l
nual encampment of the (lrand Army:
of the Republic. which will be held
in Washington, September 27-October
3, next, according to the announces,
ment made here today. 3
it will be the fiftieth anniversary;
of the Grand Review. Thousands of
the same veterans who marched in
that review a half century ago uni-‘
formed in the Union blue, will again.
keep step to martial music down
Pennsylvania avenue, and pass in pa-
rade before President Wilson and
members of his cabinet. It will be
the last time the veterans will march
in Washington, and the last time that
hundreds of them will ever again at-
tend an encampment, as the aged
men are fast passing away.
The Grand Army, which survived
four years of campaigns and never
surrendered, will soon have to lower
its standards, defeated by Time, the
only enemy able to vanquish the vet-
erans. Because of the increasing
death rate, and the feebleness of the
survivors of the great war, it is prob-
able that the Grand Army Will never
again hold a great. encampment after
the Washington event. As this gath-
ering is the last in which many of
them will participate. and as the an-
niversary of the Grand Review isao.‘
such historic significance to them'and
the country, they will make great of-
forts to beain Washington‘ infieptem-
bar. The encampment will therefore
be the largest and ‘most successful
ever held by the organisation.
5 Washington is making elaborate
preparations to receive the veterans,
and the nation's capital will be en fete
during the week that the famous sol-
diers are within her gates.
Government officials and the people
of the Capital are a unit in extending
invitations, through the press _of the
country, to the nationito visit Wash-
ington during G. A. R. week.‘ Plans
are being perfected to make the en.
campment and the Grand Review an
event of national importance.
An elaborate program of entertain-
ment for the veterans and citizens
who visit the capital at that time is
being prepared. The War Department
and the Navy Department are co-oper-
sting in the program.
The former has arranged for exhi-
bition drills of U. »s. troops, cavalry,
artillery and infantry, at Fort Myer,
which is a suburb of Washington.
Some of the best soldiers in the army
are stationed at Fort Myer, particu-
larly the cavalry. which numbers
among the enlisted m'en many of'the
greatest riders in the world. Crack
batteries of light artillery are also
stationed at Fort Myer. Aeroplane
exhibitions‘ore to be given by the Slg~
nal Corps. The Wright brothers dem-
onstrated in public the first aero-
plane at Fortyyer.‘
The Navy Department will have a
fleet of torpedo boat destroyers, sub-
marines, gunboats, and a cruiser de-
tach‘ed‘ from the Atlantic fleet and
sent up the Potomac river to Wash-
ington. where the ships will remain
during the encampment.- A‘big fea-
ture willbe camp fires, at which will
be held reunions‘of the various corps
of the Union armies. . .
Just below Washington; on the P‘o~
tomac, is located Indian Head proving
ground,'where big guns for the navy
or} fortifications are tested before be-
ing placed on battleshipfi";or in our
coast defenses. ‘The veterans and
visitors will have an opportunity to
see the operations at indian Head, as
well as scores of at places of in-
terest in or- around geniugton.

SURE HE KNEW ABOUT SIAM.
Minister to alum Guess» That It Pro-
. ducsd Siamese Twins. ’
One day President Cleveland sent
for John ,flomtt, nowfdlrector or the
bureau of American, republics. and
said: , .
“Mr. Barrett, 1 am looking for some
young man who is not afraid of hard
work and who wants to make a repu-
tation for himself, to go as minister to
r‘SIam to settle the claim of Dr. M. A.
check. Involving several million dol-
lars and also involving some delicate
matters in connection with the inter-
pretation of our treaties with Oriental
countries. This particular case is one
of the most important we now have in
the Orient. You have. received strong
indorscment from the Pacific coast as
consul general to Yokohama, but the
office was filled when your recommen-
dations arrived. Will‘ you accept the
position as minister to Siam? But,
first, what do you know about “Siam?"
Mr. Barrett couldn’t remember
whether Siam was in Asia or Africa.
but a little thing like this didn’t bother
“him. as he said. “Mr. President, 1
know allabout Siam."
“Well, ”what do you know about
Siam?" said Mr. Cleveland.
Mr. «Barrettswas stumped km a sec-
0nd, and' then said: "'Why, Siam ls
the-country that produced the famous
Siamese twins.” _-
Mr. Cleveland, with a twinkle in his
eye, arose gravely and said, as he
shook hands with Mr. Barrett: "Mr.
Barrett, 1 am happy indeed, to get
hold of a man "with such profound
knowledge and abundant information
about Siam. As a. matter of fact. 1am
glad you know nothing about it. as you
will not be prejudiced one way or an
settled there."Portland Journal.
