By Private Leased Wire. Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 16.—This morning the delegate body of the for tieth national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was called to order by Corhmander-ln-Chlef Tan ner. The morning session was largely taken up with work of the committee on credentials and the annual report of the commander-in-chlef will come late In the morning session or early in the afternoor,. The canteen question for the Sol diers’ Home Is almost certain to be brought up and the question of taking some action about the monument to Wlrz will also be a subject that will enuse excitement If It Is allowed to come before the encampment. It Is hardly expected that the election of officers will be reached today. Should business at the afternoon ses sion bo light, the first bullot for c mander-ln-chlef may bo taken, but It Is more likely that all voting will be postponed until tomorrow. It looks like R. D. Brown, of Zanes ville, Ohio, will be the next comman- der-ln-chlef. Atlanta, On., ij) the latest bidder for the next encampment, but Saratoga will probably land It.
