The business of the thirty-second annual mrampoieiit of »b* Cl. A. it. and auxiliaries began 1 1 day afier ihre* days of prvlimina-y idaonal ration*. The business mwslous were, however, interrupted by a parade l of clvir and Industrial organisation. Abotit 1.200 ustional delegate* were present when the encampment proper waa called lo I order in Music Hall at 10 a. m . with Charles Wentxcll officer of the day. The welcome address was delivered by Gov. Bushnsli. with supplemental welcome address by Mayor Talfel, of Clni Innail. and M. E. Ingsils, chairmen of the cltlxens' committee and presi dent of the Big Four and Chesapeake and Ohio railways. In response, Ccmmander-tn-Chl of (Jobln referred eloquently to the nl tractitns of the week and the lavish entertainment of the citizens of Cin cinnati. Director General M< link also made a fol'cltoua address of welcome. At Ihe conclusion of these prelimin aries the great ba.l was cleared of all bu* members entitled to a voice In ihe proceedings. The encampment has much work In considering the proposed revision of the ritual and propositions for amal gamation. It Is believed the proposi tion to make those who participated iti the Hlspano-Amerlcan war eligible will not prevail, as Ihe latter day sol diers will want a separate organiza tion. There is more sentiment In fa voring those who fought on the differ ent sides and r-solrtlcns were offered inviting the Confederate veterans to meet with the O. A. R. next yea: 1 . The Missouri delegation will likely present the resolution, as that ktote was about equally divided during lhe civil war. It Is now stated that Gen. Sickles has been named in good faith as a candi date for eommandpr-ln-ehtcf ns a m-B"8 of uniting the New York dele gates. It is also stated that the name of I. F Mack, of Ohio, will not be pre sented by the Ohio delegates. Bacon and the Peace Commission. Washington, D. C., Sept. 8. A call, by Senator Bacon of Georgia led *.o some conjectures a 3 to the choice of the democratic member o? the peace commission. The senator declined to discuss the call except to say that it did not relate to tbe commissioner- 1 ship. General Miles’ return to Washington led to considerable corridor talk as to what course would be adopted relative to the general’s published criticisms. Officially, however, nothing was.said on the subject. Soldiers to Hospital. Fivp or six sldl; soldiers of the Tenth regiment will soon be removed ,o the Lamar hospital from Camp Dyer. The removal of the camp to Lexington, Ky., Is the cause of the soldiers going to the hospital.

The plan to chrlfpen the battleship Illinois next month by breaking a of wine over the vessel Is opposed by the Wo men’s Christian Temperance Union. Mrs. Jcßfie Brown Hilton, secretary of vbe Central Branch of Ihe organiza tion, has announced that the temper ance workers aJI over the country will be loud in (heir protests. “It is not merely a question for the national or ganization,” said Mrs. Hilton. “It seems to me that the state workers should be particularly active In the matter. It is the Illinois —named after our own state and we should be par ticularly determined in our fight against such a thing. If Kentucky, with her reputation, can christen a ship with water, Illinois ought to be able to bring about (he reform withoul any difficulty. The Women’s Chris tian Temperance Union will combat the plan." A Narrow Escape. Henry Wilson, a negro hack driver, had a rather narrow escape from death lavt night. His hack collided with a Southern railway shifting en gine near the corner of Telfair and Sixth streets. The hack was stiatier ed, but Henry and the horse escaped injury. The many friends of Mrs. A.
