A MONSTER STREET PARADE
It Is Expected That 60,000 Men Will Be In
line and That It Will Require Seven
Hours For the Procession to V
Pass a Given Point. ‘ .
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 18.—On the eve of
the twentyseventh national Grand Army
encampment to be held in this city the in-'
dications point to one of the most success-
ful and largely attended reunions in the
history of that organization.
As the time for the encampment ap«
proaches it has been found necessary to in-
crease the facilities ’in many ways for tak-
ing care of the visitors. Many of the orig-
inal requests for quarters indicated that
certain posts would be rather slimly repre-
sented. The promised reduction in railroad
rates, however, has had the effect of chang
ing many minds, and requests for largely
increased accommodations are being re
ceived daily. It is estimated that at least
‘ 250,000 persons will visit the city during
the week of the encampment.
The Accommodations.
That all will be cared for comfortably
there is no doubt. The two immense bar
racks which are being erected on East
Washington street and South Alabama
street will accommodate 17,000 veterans.
The barracks buildings are 100 feet wide
and 400 feet long. Barber shops and‘dim .
ing halls will be attached. The manage-
‘ ment has made a contract which provides
for certain kinds of food, for which no .~
more than 35 cents per meal is to be .
charged. , .
The camps will be in charge'of a oom-
_mandant, and the inmates will be under
military discipline. The mgnagement'has
provided in the contract for as many more
barracks as .may be deemed necessary be-’
fore the week of the encampment. If nec-
essary, tents will be erected in Military
park for reunion purposes. The park will
be known as Camp Vfiilder, after the com-
mander of Wilder’s brigade.
Besides'the vast quarters mentioned ac-
commodations have been secured outside
for more than 100,000 veterans. The 105
Christian churches and all the public halls
.will be thrown Open to the various posts,
and in these will be held post campfires,
business meetings and receptions.
. The Events.
Friday, Sept. 10, the great naval parade
will take place. ’
The Grand Army parade on Tuesday, it
is expected, will be the largest and most
thoroughly arranged of any that has ever
been attempted, and - 60,000 marchers are
expected to turn out. The men will march
in platoons of 12, four paces apart, and it
will require seven hours for the procession
to pass a given point. There will be 1,000
officers in line on horseback.
_A feature of the parade will be salutes
from artille ry along the line, which wil
be in charge of the German Veterans’ as—
sociation and the Indianapolis Light artil‘
lery.
Monday, Sept. 4, will‘be Grand Army re-
ception day. On Thursday night will oc-
cur the great war pageant. In this will be
shown 15 floats, representing dififerent bat-
tles from colonial times up to the Late war.
The floats will be headed by a drum corps
of 150. It has been arranged as nearly as
possible to have the parades occupy only
the paved streets, and as Indianapolis is a
paved city the veterans will experience
little or no discomfort from a long march.
Brunswick’s Yellow Fever Case.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 .-—Telegrams have
been received by Dr. Wyman of the marine
hospital service from Surgeon Hutton at
Brunswick, Ga., stating that he has as‘
sumed charge of the Branham case and
notified all persons residing within 500 feet
of the patient’s residence to move. A
strong cordon will be placed around sev-
eral blocks near the infected house, and
the surroundings thoroughly disinfected.
The aim is now to confine the infection to
the one case.

Governor Waite, discussing the silver

price of silver go up to $1.29 per ounce,
where it was years ago, and nothing could
stop it. The moment free coinage begins
the price of silver will advance.” _

while in Chicago he sent COpies to all the

The governor thinks that the Democratic
party will be the worst whipped one at the
next general election that ever conducted
a campaign in this country, and that the
People’s Party will soon have control of
the government.

They Are Preparihg a Bill For the Re-
peal of the Sherman Act.
A STUBBORN FIGHT 0N HAND
There Is an Ugly Feeling In the Upper
House, and the Outcome of the Et-
forts of the Democratic Leaders
Is a Matter of Conjecture.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—New interest at-
tached to the silver situation in congress
by the rumor, which was subsequently
verified, that the antisilver senators on the
Democratic side had~ determined to take
the bill of the house and prepare a bill pro
viding for the repeal of the Sherman act.
It" is reported that Senators McPherson,
Palmer and some other repeal senators .
have decided that it is absolutely neces-
sary, to save the reputation of the Demo-
cratic party, to take action at once.
Mr. McPherson is a member of the finance
committee, and the programme is said to
be for him‘to prepare a bill and have it
acted upon favorably by the finance com—
mittee. This is a very promising pro-
gramme, the only difliculty being thatthe
silver and antisilver Democrats on the com-
mittee are so evenly divided that it is an
open question whether any such bill as the
one proposed could be agreed upon. ,
Senator Voorhees, the chairman of the
committee, has the deciding vote, as be-
sides him there are five silver and five
antisilver senators on the committee. The
Indiana senator, however, is an unknown
quantity in the financial fight. His exact
attitude is said to be “in favor of repeal
and conditions.” .
An Ugly Feeling In the Senate.
There is no disguising the fact that there
is an " antirepeal majority in the senate;
- that the president knows this fact as well
as Senator German does, and that the ad-
ministration sees the wisdom of concilia-
tion and concerted action, and indorses
Gorman’s eflOrts to secure them. Still
there is a very ugly feeling in the senate,
and it is impossible at present to state
what the outcome will be.
One thing is quite certain, however, and
that is that but for the fact that the bulk
of the Republican senators favor repeal the
Democrats would not be able to make even
a respectable attempt to stand up to the
recommendations of the president’s mes-
sage. Such men as Vest and Cockrell and
Pugh do not kick over party traces unless
they feel it their duty to their constituents
to do so.
They have done it now, and nothing but
the consummate tact and parliamentary
skill Of Senator Gorman and his coworkers
on the steering committee have prevented
them from organizing a revolt against the
president and his policy. Vest and Cock-
rcll, moreover, have not been altogether si-
lenced. They have shown their teeth, but
have not been as wicked and determined
' as they mean to be if occasion arises.
The House Leaders.
The leaders in the house have so far kept
in the background of the debate, but they
will begin to be heard from now on, and
next week it is expected that the speeches
will aflord one continuous exhibition of
soaring oratory. ,
If the present programme is carried out
therewill be such a crowd at the house on
Monday as was never seen before. and this is
saying a good deal. But the extravagance
is justified, for, according to present ar-
rangement, the now more than ever fa-
mous and always eloquent Colonel Wil-
liam C. P. Breckinridge of Kentucky will
address his colleagues and the country on
that day in favor of the repeal of the
Sherman act.
Colonel Fellows, who is now in New
York getting ready, will on Tuesday reply
to the free coinage speech which Bryan Of'
Nebraska made yesterday. But the colo-
nel from New York, eloquent and brilliant
as he is, will not have such an audience as
will pack the galleries on Monday to hear
the Kentucky Don Juan, if indeed he does
not weaken and back out at- tbs lest mo
ment. - .
A Short House Session.
Mr. Daniels (Rep, N. Y.)’opened the
day’s debate in the house with a speech
urging the unconditional repeal of the
purchase section of the Sherman act.
Mr. Daniels was followed by Mr. Cooper,
- a Florida Democrat, who announced him-
self as Opposed to every proposition made
by the silver men and for unconditional
repeal. Mr. Golozier (Dem., Ills.) followed
M . Cooper with a speech in favor of repeal.
At the, conclusion of is remarks the
death of Representative Illiman was an.
nounced by Mr. Weadock of Michigan. -
The usual resolutions were adopted, and
_ the house as a tribute of respect adjourned
until tomorrow.
Lee Mantle’s Case.
After the ordinary routine morning busi-
ness in the senate the report on the Mon-
tana senatorial case was taken up, and an
argument was made by Mr. Pasco (Dem.,
Fla.) against the right of Mr. Mantle to his
seat_under”the governor’s appointment.
The senate agreed to take a vote on the
Lee Mantle case on Monday next at '3
o’clock, and then proceeded to executive
business.

'TWO BIG FAILURES.
l‘he Oliver Iron and Steel Company and
the Standard Wagon Company
Forced to Assign.
PITTSBURG, Aug. 18.—The Oliver Iron
and Steel company, One of the largest cOn-
cerns in the country, went into the hands
of a receiver today. The application was
made before Judge Acheson of the United
States circuit court by the National Tube
Works company of New Jersey and E. C.
Converse of New York and Pittsburg, and
H. W. Oliver, senior member of the firm,
was appointed.
In the hill in was alleged that the cap
ital stock of the company was $1,600,000
and that the indebtedness was $700,000. Of
this amount $400,000 is payable within 90
days. About $300,000 more is in collateral
bills payable by pledge of pig iron and
stocks and bonds in coke and natural gas
companies. The bonded indebtedness is
$585,000.
The company, through J. B. Oliver, ad-
mitted'the allegations a d attributed the
embarrassments to the idngency of the
money market and the depression in busi-
ness. If reasonable time was given all
liabilities would be satisfied without sacri-
ficing the assets or destroying the value of
the company’s property.‘
The company has extensive plants in
Pittsburg and Allegheny and employs
about 4,000 men. They are also largely
interested in the coke and natural gas busi-
ness. When in full‘ operation the sales of
the company will aggregate $5,500,000 per
annum. ,
Standard Wagon Company Fails.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 18.—This morning the
Standard Wagon company, located at 1000
West Eighth street, and the largest con-
cern of the kind in the United States, filed

at $1,200,000 and liabilities at $700,000., The
assignment is made to Grant H. Burrows,
who was president of the company but re-
signed f.) become assignee. -

A Mob of Five Thousand Unemployed Men
Dispelled by the Police.
NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—The first of the

of the large number of men out’of employ-
ment occurred here today. A crowd of
more than 5,000 men attacked Walhalla

was denied them. They smashed the plate
glass windows into atoms, forced in the
door which had been turned against them
and forcibly took possession of'the place.
Several persons were cut by the flying
glass. All sorts of missiles were used, and
finally the police reserves from the El-
dridge street station were ordered to'the
scene and succeeded in dislodging the
crowd. Those forming the crowd were
mostly Hebrews and represented principal-
ly the clothing trades. There were cutters,
garment makers, hatmakers and cloak-
makers. , . ,
The police after some hard work suc-
ceeded in clearing the hall. A man who
was addressing the crowd was taken into
custody. The police subsequently had to
turn their attention to the streets in‘the
vicinity and had all they could do in dis-
persing the crowds that gathered after the
hall. had been cleared.

BIG INCREASE IN EARNINGS.
Never Before Has the Financial Outlook of

WORLD’S FAIR GROUNDS, Aug. 18.—The
financial outlook of the ‘Vorldls fair was,
never brighter than it is now. Since the
recent radical reduction in the running
expenses there has been a marked increase
in the earnipgs, and the average attend-
ance is growing larger day by day. N 0t
since President Cleveland touched the elec-
tric button that opened the White City to
the world has there been such an influx of
visitors from a distance as there has been
during the last two, or three days. Fifteen
special lVorld’s fair trains brought 11,600 ,
visitors into the city last night. They
were all from eastern points and came be
cause of the low rates Offered by eastern
lines. 9
.Every train carried its full limit of cars,
and each car was comfortably filled. The
first train came over the Erie. It was
made up of 10 coaches and contained 740
people. An hour later two more specials
over the same line brought in 1,450 people.
Other roads bringing in special trains were
the Pennsylvania system, four trains and
3,200 passengers; the Grand Trunk, two
..trains and 1,410 passengers; the Nickel
Plate, two trains and 1,900 passengers; the
Wabash, two trains and 1,600 passengers;
Michigan Central, two trains and 1,800 pas-
sengers. . .
' Less Money Spending. j
While the gate receipts are increasing,
the World’s fair oflicials saythat the aver-
age amount of money spent by each vis-
itor is 20 per cent less than it was during
the first three months of the fair. " They
account for this in two way's. first, they
say it is due to the scarcity of money and
the hard times. Then there is a change in
the character of the people who are now
coming. At the Opening of the fair the,
visitors were mainly from the large cities.
and now those from the rural districts are
beginning to ari’iV‘é.
Never before has there been such a rub? I
for admission at the gates as today. Every
surface car arriving after 7:30 was jammed
with fair visitors and all along the line
transferred passengers were waiting for '
foot room on a car platform. One car aft-
or another ran by them, having neither
seats nor standing room. The. premature
economy”: of. the department. of ’admission
was made apparent. Gatekeepers have
been discharged in bunches for a week or
more,'and the force was not half adequate
today to accommodate the crowds that im—
patiently waited to be admitted.
At the Sixty-fourth street gate three
gatekeepers only were employed, one whole
section having only one gau- use, The
people were forced to wait their turn in
single file, and during the forenoon rush
there were 200 people in line at each en-
trance all the time. At other gates it .was
the same. The elevated road and the Illi-
nois Central and other lines to the fair all
did an unusually large business.
