A BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
A Monopoly for Trans-Continental and
Trans-Pacific Traffic.
Chicago August 26. The Inter-
Ocean says this morning that a rail-
road deal far more important than the
famous Northwestern and Union Pacific
alliance is on tbe verge of consumma-
tion. For weeks past the decided un-
accountable advacce of securities of
the Chicago and Great Western rail-
road on tbe London Amsterdam Pa-
ris and New York exchanges has been
tbe cause of comment in the entire
speculative world. Within the last
twenty-four hours the cause of this
tremendous advance has become pub'
lie. The J. P. Morgan inter
est is now in full control of the North
ern Pacific and the Jas. J. Hill party
which owns the Great Northern rail
road are now in possession of options
representing a controlling interest in
the Chic-igo & Great We-tern railroad.
Through this purchase proposed by the
owners of tbe Northern : Pacific and
Great Northern the properties are to
create an absolute monopoly of the
entire transportation traffic between
Chicago and Puget Sound also ontrol
trans-Pacific carrying trade by means
an air tight alliance with the Japan
Mail Steamship company. In joining
this tremendous alliance the Steanlship
company brings its partners absolute
monopoly of the interior coasting trade
of Japan China Australia and India.
This enormous deal which threatenes
to render useless the St. Paul and
Chicago lines of five great companies
is being closed this week at a confer-
ence in New York between the repre-
senta'ives of the Deutsch bank J. P.
Morgan & Co J. J. Hill and the own-
ers of the Great Western railroad.

G. A. R.
Cincinnati Secures the
Encampment
Next
BY A VERY HOT FIGHT.
Retiring Commander-in-Chief Clark
son Makes a St roDg Speech Against
People Giving Memorial Day up to
Sports.
Buffalo August 26. The principal
business of tbe national encampment
of the G. A. R. today is the annual
meeting of all the national bodies and
the election of officers and selection of
a place for the meeting of the next ea
campment. Although many of the
visitors departed after having witness-
ed the principal spectacle of the meet-
ing in yesterday's parade and the ex
odus continues today the city s still
crowded and the absence of the depart-
ing ones is hardly noticed. At 9:30 the
officers and delegates were escorted
through the crowded streets from
hotel Iroquois to Music hall accom
panied by several bands of music. The
encampment was formally opened by
speeches of welcome by state and
municipal officials.
The fight for commander-in-chief is
on in earnest this afternoon. Mack's
supporters vote solidly for San Fran-
cisco. If Cincinnati is chosen Mack
will probably lose being an Ohio man.
President Ingalls of the Big Four ar-
rived to make a speech for Cincinnati.
After considerable delay a vote was
taken for the next encampment at four
o'clock and Cincinnati was chosen get-
ting 526 votes to San Francisco's 214.
Commander in Chief Clarkson in his
address said:
"The Grand Army of the Republic is
not a political . organization. It has
within its ranks men of all political
faiths who were equally good soldiers.
Its rules and regulations forbid the dis-
cussion in its post of political subjects
or the use of the order for political pur
poses. Tbe desire for public office is a
laudable one especially to men who
have braved their lives for their coun-
try are capable and unable to proper-
ly maintain themselves in other chan-
nels. The veteran believes himself
entitled to consideration and he is but
he should not use the Grand Army
for that purpose. If he asks indorse
ment of his post there are comrades
there of other political faiths who can-
not indorse him or if successful he
may displace another comrade. Per-
sonally I will indorse a comrade if cap-
able every time rather than one who
is not a comrade but officially I will
indorse no one. In tbe case of one de
partment I have bee a compelled to re
quire the withdrawal of a circular is
sued for political purposes and doing
evident injury to aspiring and worthy
comrades. Again parties are using
tne emblems of the Grand Army for
advertising purpos s. They are too
sacred for such use and we should ask
our legislatures for tbe enactment of
laws making such use illegal."
Touchiug upon pensions the com
ma nder-in-chief said:
"Tne committed on pensions have
given much attention to tbis branch of
tbe wora until quite lately withbut lit-
tle effect. Within the last few months
the latch-strings have beea loosened
and many justly eutitled prisoners have
had .their case acted upon; others
Stoppei witbout causa have baen re-
stored to the rolls and the machinery
of that great department of the govern-
ment seems to have beua oiled with
the oil id human kindDoss and honest
obligation and to be running much
more smoothly and with much less
friction than before. I believe it will
not belong until esery case properly
made up will bd reached and receive attention."
In relation to the story of the war as
taught to children in the books of tbe
public schools and which has recen tly
come in for a large share of public at-
tention the commander-in-chief -said:
''No subject in which the Grand Ar-
my is interested is more important
than that the truth of history should
be taught to our children. The com-
mittee of eminent comrades appointed
by me to consider and report upon this
subject have given much time and
thoughtful consideration to it and I
do not hestitate to say you will be sur-
prised at their findings and I feel sure
you will approve their report and re-
commendations. It is certainly not the
object of tbe Grand Army of the Re-
public to keep open the wounds of the
war but of this we are determined
that one side of that great struggle
was right and the other side was wrong
and we were not the wrong side and
we don't intend tbat our children shall
be taught that we were. I hope tbe
report of this committee will receive
the careful consideration of this en-
campment and this or a similar com-
mittee be kept at work until school
histories in use in our public schools
tell the truth."
The commander-in-chief placed him-
self on record as opposed to the propo-
sition to change Memorial day to the
last Sunday in May. On this point he
said :
"I am not one of those who believe
that a day established thirty years ago
by our beloved Commander-in-Chief
Logan and since made a holy day and
a holiday by legal enactment in a
majority of the states should be
changed simply because a lot of hood-
lums or thoughtless men and women
desecrate it by games and races. A
large majority of our people are ob-
servers of tbe Sabbath day and they
do not consider parades and demon-
strations seemly upon that day and
their wishes should be respected for
we look to them rather than to the
thoughtless for the moral support we
need. If games and races cannot be
suppressed on such sacred day by
moral suosion and the effect of its par-
ticipation in its sacred work by vast
numbers of our best citizens then no
change of day could effect such a re-
sult." The report of Adjutant-General
Charles E. Burmester was listened to
with close attention. It was as follows:
By muster 10534; by transfer 4381;
by reinstatement 11 207; by delinquent
reinstatement 6807; total gain 32929;
aggregate 373639.

Fast Trains Safe.
"There seems to be an impression"
said a railway superintendent to a re-
porter of the St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat "that the fast trains are the most
dangerous for people to ride on and
tbat more pertons are killed ia
crossing tracks etc. than by the trains
which are slower. This is a mistake.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
has given this matter special attention
and has statistics to show that in pro
portion to the fast and slow trains run
more accidents have occurred to the
slow trains and more persons not in the
employ of the company have been kill-
ed by the slower trains. Men
in charge of fast passen- .
irer and freight trains are con-
stantlyon the watch for danger. The
engineer feels that there ia more at
stake and one will notice that the
b'ast of bia wtr.aues are more irequent
and sharper; tbat the fireman is more
particular to ring tne bell wnen pass-
ing through a town or a city or near a
highway crossing. It would be dif
ficult to find people living on the lines
of the roads which run fast trains that
have not heard of tbe Chicago limited
on the Pennsylvania lines; the fast
express No. 2 between St. Louis and
New York overfthe Vandalia and Penn
sylvania lines; the Ecnpire State ex-
prej; tne ivaicneroocaer on me aig
Four aad the hundreds of other fast
trains. Fast trams are run nearer on
time and people know their time and
keep out of tbe way. Tne equipment
of the fast trains is kept at the best
standard and everything conduces to
making tbem safer to ride on and less
liable to injure the people at highway
crossings and in passing through towns
and cities. The Pennsylvania transpor-
tation department is fully satisfied that
the above statement is correct.
