Cincinnati, Sept. 9.—The work of the
thirty-second annual encampment of the
Gr ind Army of the Republic was happily
concluded late this afternoon.
The encampment opened this morning
with a small attendance and proceeded to
finish the election of officers. The follow
ing were elected by acclamation:
Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief—W. C.
Johnson of Cincinnati.
Junior Vice Commander-in-Chlef—David
Ross of Delaware.
Surgeon General—Dr. Pierce of Nebras
ka.
Chaplain-in-Chlef—Col. Lucas of Indian
apolis.
The report of the committee on resolu
tions was read and it was decided to con
sider the report seriatim.
The resolutions referring to President
McKinley and Secretary Aiger were given
precedence. The resolution referring to
the President was first adopted by an
unanimous rising vote in a scene of en
thusiastic demonstrations. It reads as
follows:
"Resolved, That the Grand Army of the
Republic has watched with pride and sat
isfaction the wise, conservative, unselfish,
patriotic, and statesmanlike . manner in
which our honored comrade, William Mc-
Kinley, as President of the United States,
has met every demand which the recent
trouble with Spain imposed upon our coun
try: that his wisdom and prudence in his
endeavors to preserve peace with honor
us well as the vigor and patriotic order
with which our army and navy were
equipped for the conflict, when the war
became imminent, have won our hearty
and unreserved approval and commenda
tion; and, rejoicing in the glorious termi
nation of the conflict in which our country
has been engaged, we hereby express our
gratitude, not only to our distinguished
comrade, the President, but also to the of
ficers and men in the land and naval
forces for their heroic conduct and sublime
achievements for humanity and glory of
our flag and country.”
As soon as the demonstration following
the adoption of this resolution was over,
till following was read and adopted by an
unanimous vote, without discussion, and
with another demonstration of approval:
‘"Resolved, That from knowledge formed
of our experience as soldiers during four
years of active service, we recognize the
unfaltering energy and patriotic devotion
with which, as Secretary of War, Gen.
Alger has borne the weighty responsibili
ties and performed the important duties
suddenly imposed by the recent war with
Spain, creating and maintain so large an
army under such unfavorable conditions,
the deeds of which not only shed luster on
the American soldiers, but also challenged
the admiration of the world.”
A resolution was also adopted condemn
ing the present administration of the pen
sion office as imposing rules and regula
tions which obstruct the passage of pen
sion claims instead of facilitating them.
The resolution as originally presented
could have been construed as reflecting
upon President McKinley, and by unani
mous vote, it was changed so as to re
move this objectionable feature.
Among the new members of the council
of administration are:
Florida—T. S. Wilmarth of Jacksonville.
Georgia—James P. Averiil of Atlanta.
Virginia and North Carolina—A. D. Hil
etand.
The Woman’s Relief Corps elected offi
cers as follows:
National President—Mrs. Flo Jamison
Miller of Monticello.

Junior Vice President—Mrs. Ellen F.

OCAF.N HOUSE BURNED.
Newport’s Old Hotel Destroyed by
Fire Yesterday Afternoon.
Newport. H. 1., Sept. 9.—The Ocean
House, one of the largest and best known
liotels on the Atlantic Coast and the cen
ter of attraction to visitors in the city
for over a half century, was burned to
the ground this afternoon.
Sparks for the great conflagration fell
ell over the thickly settled portion of the
city and caused three or four roof fires
on buildihgs along Bellevue avenue, prin
cipally at the Casino. Fortunately none of
them caused very much damage.
The Ocean House was owned by Henry
J. Barbey of New York and was valued
ot 5100,000.
Nearly all the guests were in various
pans of the hotel when the alarm came,
lilt re were, therefore, unable to save
many of their valuables and a number
had the good luck to get out their personal
effects.

CONDITIONS AT CAMP THOMAS.
Examining Board Doesn’t Think It
Well Adapted for a Camp.
Chickamauga Military Park, Sept. 9.
The Second Regiment left to-day for An
niston, where it will remain until further
orders. The departure of this regiment
leaves only three, the Ninth New York,
Second Kentucky and Sixth United States
Volunteers at Chickamauga.
The Second Kentucky will leave Sunday
for Lexington.
Grisby’s Rough Riders left for their
homes in small parties to-day. They have
been mustered out and paid.
The report of Gens. Mattock, Sanger
and Roe, appointed as an examining
board to ascertain the cause of the sick
ness at Camp Thomas, has been made
public. The report was submitted some
time ago and was largely responsible for
the removal of troope.
The board finds the ground not well
adapted for the encampment of a large
body of troops, but states that much of
the sickness was due to mismanagement
and poor sanitary arrangements. It re
flects somewhat upon the generals in com
mand before the arrival of Gen. Breckin
ridge. „
Private J. S. Callahan of Troop E,
Grigsby's Rough Riders, was stabbed and
seriously injured in a drunken row, which
occurred among ' a number of Rough
Riders at the Central station this morn

The reports from the hospitals to-day
are very favorable, indicating that the
sick are doing well. There were two
deaths. _
CHAIRMAN M’DONALD NOT SCARED.
Money Can’t Make the Eleventh
Kneel to the Scalawags.
Waycross, Ga., Sept. 9.—Hon. John C.
McDonald, chairman of the Eleventh
congressional district committee, after
reading the report from Atlanta, which
appeared in the Morning News of yester
day to the effect that the Republicans,
with money and fusion with the Popu
lists, were sanguine of defeating the Dem
ocracy in this district, said: “I believe
the report is true that the Republicans
are preparing to carry this district with
money and fusion, if it is possible for them
to do so. I do not believe, however, that
any amount of money can accomplish
such a result. The people of the Eleventh
district will never submit to being domi
nated and controlled by scalawags. It
will be impossible for money or any other
power to bring about such a condition
in this district. We have In the district
a large Democratic majority, and it is
only necessary for these Democrats to be
advised of the real necessity for their
taking an active hand in the campaign,
and when this is done there will be no
fear as to a Democratic victory.”
“The Democrats throughout the dis
trict have their eyes open and know what
is necessary, and I am quite sure will
do their full duty; and when the Demo
cratic hosts complete their work, Hon.
W. G. Brantley will be elected to Congress
by an overwhelming majority.
"The Democratic party in this district
is rapidly preparing for the fight which
has been thruSt upon us, and we shall
not* let up until it has been finished.”

• lie has been superintendent of large min

tory at Elmira, X. V., was built, he was
superintendent and engineer in charge ol the
construction.
Major Uishop was attached to the staff of
Brigadier General Chamberlin, of the Na
tional Guard of New York, with the rank
of Major from 1857 to 1885.
He has been located in Detroit since 1885,
and has a large acquaintance among the busi

Two years ago, for the first time, Mtyor
Bishop was in the hospital. For two months
he had the l<est of medical attendance but
when he was discharged he was not like the
Major Bishop of old.
When asked regarding his health, he said:
“When I had my last spell of sickness
and came out of the hospital I was a sorry
sight I could not gain my strength, and
could not walk over a block for several
weeks.
“I noticed some articles in the newspapers
regarding I)r. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People, which convinced me that they were
worth trying and bought two boxes. I did
not take them for my complexion but for
strength. After using them 1 felt better,
and know they did me worlds of good. I
am pleased to recommend them to invalids
who need a tonic or to build up a shattered
constitution. “A. C. Bishop.”

The pure, powerful vegetable ingredients
in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
supply the antidote for poisonous matter in
the blood and add those elements needed to
build up body and brains. Many diseases
long supposed by the medical profession to
be incurable have succumbed to the potent
influence of these pills. They can be taken
by young or old, being harmless in their
nature, but powerful in eliminating disease.

HAWAIIAN VOLCANOES.
Lava Eruptions of a Century—A Mis
sissippi of Molten Rock.
From Kingston (Jamaica) Daily Gleaner.
Lava is the chief eject of these island
volcanoes, and Is so thin—almost like mol
ten glass—that when the wind catches it
up, it is drawn into slender filaments,
which go by the name of "Pele’s Hair,”
Pele having been In the old Hawaiian
mythology, the goddess who presided over
the action of these fire fountains and
had her seat In the crater. Some of these
are of prodigious extent; for Instance, that
of 1852, which proceeded from an eruption
of Mauna Loa, formed an unbroken foun
tain of lava 200 to 700 feet high and 1,000
feet broad, though it did not burst out
of the crater, but from the base of the
cone.
The first eruption of which we have a
distinct record occurred in 1789, It was
accompanied by fearful earthquakes, dense
darkness and terrific thunder and light
ning. An island war was raging at the
time, and a body of men marching from
Hilo to Kau were encamped by the vol
cano when the outburst began. Terrified,
they hailed for two days, and on the
third divided into three companies and
started at short intervals. Of the fore
most company some were burnt to death
by sand and cinders thrown to an Im
mense hlght, and overwhelming them. The
third body escaped almost uninjured; but
on coming up with the center party they
found only corpses of men. women and
children. Contrary to the rule, the erup
tion seems lo have consisted solely of
sand and scoriae, with volumes of steam
and sulphurous vapor. In 1823 the lava
stream was thirty miles long.
In 1840 the bed of the crater of Kiiauea
sank about 300 feet, her fires vanished un
der ground “with roaring and much com
motion, till they broke open a passage in
the district of Puna, when they rolled on
ward, burning forests, villages and planta
tions—a terrific flood, from one to three
miles wide and from twelve to 200 feet In
depth, varying with the extreme Irregu
larity of the graund, and having traveled
a distance of 130 miles In four days, it
entered the sea seventeen and one-half
miles from Hilo, leaping a basaltic preci
pice about fifty feet in hlght, and forming
a magnificent fire-cataract a mile In
width.” All the time the surface was so
clouded in steam and smoke that those
standing on one side of the lava river
could not see to the other shore. Some
limes this ‘ Mississippi of molten mate
rial” widened like a great lake, then nar
rowed as it “rushed through deep valleys,
finally leaping Into the sea in a cataract
like Niagara, in a raging blood-red tor
rent.” For three weeks, we are told, the
flow continued. The sea boiled and raged
madly as the torrent mingled with Its
water. For twenty miles along the coast
the waves were warm, and myriads of
dead fishes floated on the waves. So in
tense was the glare that at places forty
miles distant a “line print could be read
all night by its lurid glow, and ships 100
miles at sen beheld the strange light.”
On the 16th of January, 1887, afier vio
lent earthquake shocks, which continued
for several days almost without Interrup
tion, Mauno Loa broke forth in a lava
stream which coursed down the southwest
ride of the mountain, entering the sea two
miles north of that of 1868, though the
fissure from which it flows is twelve miles
farther up the mountain, or twenty-one
miles from the ocean. It was extremely
copious, rising in several large fountains,
from 190 to 200 feet high, and reached the
sea in twenty-six hours in a current aver
aging about three-fourths of a mile In
breadth, leaving behind it a hideous em
bankment of clinkers, through the Assures
in which, for several days subsequently,
Che fiery interior was disclosed.

San Francisco, Sept. 9—The steamer
Coptic, from Yokohama and Hong Kong,
via Honolulu, brings the following advices
from the Associated Press, from the lat
ter place, under date of Sept. 3:
It will be the "territory of Hawaii."
That is the name which the annexation
convention has decided to recommend to
Congress. The form of tiu government
will be modeled on that of existing terri
tories There will be no more
further departures from this
than local condition and na
tional political considerations make neces
sary. It is probable that in working out
the details the form for the
government will not approxi
mate so closely to that of state
government as the ordinary form of gov
ernment does. But the ultimate possi
bility of statehood will not be barred.
Local self government will be given
through the extension of the municipal
idea. The islands will be divided Into mu
nicipal districts, having control under re
strictions and limitations of purely local
affairs.
The question of territorial legislature
has been fully settled. There will probably
be one, but with limited powers. All the at
tributes of severeignty, however, will be
exercised by the national government of
the United States.
The people of Hawaii will be called on
to consider themselves Americans, look
ing to the national government as a source
of national power. In local affairs they
will have the opportunity of exercising
the highest tribute of American citizen
ship, local self-government.
The form of government the committee
will recommend will be one calculated to
do away with the associations of national
Independence which have grown up in the
last eighty or ninety years and to create
associations and feeling of union with the
United Stales of America.
It Is perfectly clear from what has been
said by members of the committee from
time to time in framing a form of govern
ent for the Islands, they have also berm
charged by the administration with form
ing a model which can l>e adapted to
Porto Rico and other new possessions the
war has brought the United States.
The committee Is trying to shape its
work so as to be able to conclude its la
bors Sept. 20. The visiting members will,
in that case, be able to return to main
land by the steamer of Sept. 23.
The Pacific cable may go around Hon
olulu. A shorter route by way of Alaska
has been figured on.
There is a clash here between Col. Bar
ber and the Hawaiian government over
military quarters. The matter will proba
bly be straightened out soon.
It Is the prsent calculation to send the
United States steamship Philadelphia
back to San Francisco very soon, as Ad
miral Miller, having completed the mis
sion on which he wan sent by the United
States government is anxious to return.
Various officers of the Philadelphia are
so sure that their ship will return to this
port after landing Admiral Miller in San
Francisco that they are making arrange
ments for that purpose. In fact the Phil
adelphia is the only ship available for
duty here.
Yuchida, the Japanese consul to Hono
lulu, arrived by the Coptic last night. He
is accredited as minister pro Urn to the
republic of Hawaii, although the arrange
ments have been made for the proper
acknowledgment of his credentials (t

“VEILED LADY” IN VEILED,
Site Wasn’t a She at All, Hut Du Paty
De t'lain.
From an Exchange .
Referring to the appeals of MM. Zola
and Perreux, the correspondent of the
London Daily News, in a recent dispatch,
unveils the ‘'veiled lady” who has figur
ed so prominently In the Dreyfus case.
The correspondent says Count Christian
Esterhazy declares this person was Col.
du Pat de Clam, and continues:
"M. Christian Esterhazy says he fetch
ed and carried all last winter between
MaJ. Esterhazy and the colonel. He was
summoned from Bordeaux and kept for
a week on a visit at the major’s former
home in the Rue de la Bienfalsance,
where he seemed one of the family. The
major told him of his Dreyfus worries,
and how Mile. Pays helped him to sur
mount them. She was a messenger be
tween himself and Du Paty, but a.l
'mouchards' watched her, it would be well
for Count Christian to take her place. So
said, so done.
”A mysterious walk was taken to the
Pont de I'Alma. As they were crossing
the bridge, a gentleman with a lady on
his arm said rapidly to the count: “Meet
me this evening at 6 before No. 8, avenue
Gabriel." Though it was winter, young
Esterhazy had on a light suit and a pale
drab overcoat. The major said to him:
'You will be too peculiarly dressed thus.
You must wear my dark surtout in keep
ing the appointment.’
"Count Christian was punctual. Du
Paty walked up arm in arm with him,
much excited, and informing him of tho
machination* and organization of the
‘syndicate of treason.’ The count gave
him a letter from the major, which he
read to himself, and then handed another
letter to the messenger, who saw du
I’aty nearly every evening until the ma
jor’s trial was at hand.
"It was Du Paty who planned the tele
grarps signed ‘Speranza’ and ‘Blanche.’
He dictated the former to Mile. Pays, and
the major took it to the telegraph office.
But In the course of the day Du Paty de
Clam returned to say he had misspelt
Col. Plcquart's name (the "c" was omit
ted! and he feared the message would not
be delivered. It was decided to send an
other telegram.
"This one was written by Du Paty and
signed ‘Blanche.’ Both were meant to lie
seized by the Intelligence department. The
letters of the 'veiled lady’ were written
by Count Esterhazy. She was invented to
hide the fact that Du Paty gave a secret
patter to MaJ. Esterhazy to be shown to
Gen. Pellieux in Justification. One of the
letters went through a typewriter. They
were all submitted to Gen. Pellieux.
"The last he saw asked the major to
meet the writer at the Rue Bt, Eleuthere
‘But you ought surely to go,’ said the: getv
eral. ’No,’ replied the major, ‘I am shad
owed by Dreyfusltes. I do not want them
to know who the veiled lady is. Gen. Pel
lieux was satisfied with this. Count Es
terhazy speaks of his cousin as having
got him into his power and then forcing
him to do as he wanted. He did not re
turn the veiled lady’s secret paper t Q t he
war office until Du Paty had given evi
dence in his favor at the second court
martial.”
Watermelon Syrup.
From the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser.
Several times lately we have noted brief
references to experiments at syrup making
from watermelen Juice, and have won
dered why some systematic efforts have
not been made to utilize this produce In
that way. The older generation of poo->le
can doubtless call to mind syrup made by
the slaves—on a small scale and in a rude
way, it is true, but it was not at all a bud
substitute for the genuine article.
The watermelon Juice contains a larger
percentage of water than does the juice
of the cane, but we are informed that one
gallon of syrup can be made from twelve
or fourteen gallons of Juice, and are of Ihe
opinion that an acre of land would produce
more syrup if planted in melons) than if
planted in cane. They are an easy crop lo
raise, and are very productive, easy to
handle, and no machinery would lie re
