At the request of a promi nent (iranil Army man 1 wrote and asked O. O. Howard to take command of this body, being assuml that this was agreeable to (lie state commander. At an interview between the state commander, several members of th■ ■ (.rnnil Army and myself 1 understood that th-- selection of O. <>. Howard v as agreeable.

I called ■their attention to the fact that it was not. a Grand Army affair: that it was a. citv *ffair and that, that position was not it- proper one, and said 'positively d absolutely the Grand Army can f*' t, have the head of the column,' 1 " ( ore upon they retired. \l another . the eiinimaiiiiei-in-chic:', vviu! t*e state commander prcscm.

Howard siiould not command the Grand Army. 1 informed him that, he was asked at the request of several Grand Army men, but I would write and ask him to withdraw, whereupon the commander in-chief said -that is a simple matter and can easily be arranged.' Then he asked if I would allow a picked boilv of 300 Grand Army men and him —s"'lf to "nave the head of the column. I answered "I positively will not author ize anv portion of the Grand Army to lit- at the head of the column. Subse quently I received a letter of declina tion. I have taken the position th.it Ihe day was emphatically a navy day, •lhat Admiral Dewey and his sailors of the Olympia should be in the lead with nothing whatever to detract. i am a member of the G.

Gen Hoc reported that lie had learned that Ohio proposed to increase its represent at ion Iron- ".00 to 3,000 men. lb* suggested that in view of the lack of funds the committee au thorize him to announce that no more organizations would be accepted. A motion to that elicet was adopted. A. D. Shaw, commander-in-chief c.f the G. It., has issued an address to the public in which he lays: "J'he reasons given in the letter from De partment Commander Kay and piv i-nted in pe : so a to Gen.

Tbo French Mciiate Mia » a Court of Jnatier lo Hear ( liiirjieii Ajjaiual At" legfd < oim|ilrator«. Paris, Sept. 10. —'The senate met us :i high court of j-istice yesterday for the purpose of trying 2'.! politicians, in cluding MM. De Monicourt, DerouledeJ Marcel ifabert, Thiebaud. Haron l)e Manx and .lules Gucrin, on the charge of conspiracy against the government. Not one of the accused was present or in the palace, but nine cells have been tilted up for them in the library. The ceils are very comfortably fur nished. The floor is covered with linoleum and the walls are hung with greenish cloth. The furniture con sists of an iron bedstead, an easy chair, a marble-topped toilet table, a cuspidor and a rug. Thus the prison ers will have little to complain of and may congratulate themselves that times have changed since the Giron dins were confined in the palace of the senate bv Kobespierre during the reign of terror. M. Uernard, Ihe procurator general, read the indictment. The indictment commenced by reciting the facts of the arrest of MM. Deroulcde and lla bert, and said the inquiry had showed the existence of a conspiracy to change flic, form of government, to which ihe disorders of last February, it was add ed. were due, anil in which Deroulcde, Hubert and some members of tin* League of Patriots. M. Gucrin and some members of the \nti-Seniitie league. Dubuc and some members of the Society of Anti-Semitic Y< utlis.M '.I. Diiffet, Goilefrey and ( lievilly and members of the royalist party were in culpated. All the societies mentioned, since 1 SOS, it was pointed out, had abandoned electoral action for revolu tionary action, and the League of Pa triots openly pursued the object of overthrowing the constitutional gov ernment, The \nti-Semitic league, it was also claimed, has joined the insurrectional organization, wherewith are associat ed the nationalists, royalists and im perialists, and the Anti-Semitic Youth has as a mission the propogaiula in the province* of the revolutionary movement. The indictment proceeded with iv recapitulation of the royalist maneuv vcrs and declared the royalists led and paid a mob to insult President Loubet on the day of his election. Letters seized at the residence of M. Chevilly showed that the funds were becom ing exhausted by February, ISS9, and promises of money, mostly from ladies, were found in the correspondence. The culminatory point of the royalist con spiracy was reached February when Deroiilede made his attempt on ihe Place de la Nation to induce a brigade of infantry to march on the Klysce palace. Everything, it seems, was prepared to carry out the royalist plan that day, tint, Derouleile's failure spoi led all, and the Duke of Orleans, who was waiting at TSrusscls for ihe signal to come to Paris, received in stead a telegram from ISuffet, saying: "I'scless to come. Send you further news to-morrow." The indictment evoked frequent out burs.us of derisive laughter and iron ical comment at, the expense of the royalists, especially on the reading of the various telegrams exchanged and the failure of the plots. The senate decided to allow the (iris oners to be represented by counsel du-ring the preliminary inquiry, but the question of the competency of thu senate to sit as a court to try the charges was adjourned until after the conclusion of the preliminary inquiry. This is tantamount to an adjournment of the court for several weeks. THEY SOAR SKYWARD. Prices ol Paper anil Leather Advance Very Itaphlly. New York, Sept. 21. News paper has gone up a quarter of a cent a pound within the last three weeks. The newspapers of New York, accord ing to an official of the company, which supplies all bit two of the pa pers printed in this city, use 400 tons .of paper daily at a cosr of two cents a pound. The recent advance means ?'2,000 a day more to the newspapers, or $730,000 a year over the price which has hitherto obtained. Tile cost of the consumption is now $1S,0()0 a day. The tendency is to the price still higher. The advance is due partly to the drouth of last summer, which seri ously impaired the water power of pa per mills. Hook paper lias also gone up one-quarter of a cent, a pound and letter paper from three-quarters of a cent to one cent a pound. The price of shoe leather has gone, np from tor, per cent, within the last week, owing to Ihe scarcity of cowhide material. Shoe maniitiietuv ers have signed contracts with whole sale and retail shoe Houses which will not expire for months to come, and w> fhe patrons of retail houses will not fed the advance until December. Tn tin- meantime the manufacturers who have bound themselves by con tract will lie the suffer rs from the rise in price. A sharper advance siiil has been made in the price of crude sole leather.

He Says It Cannot be Decided on Partisan Political Lines. OUR TRADE IN THE ORIENT. The Senior Senator Ironi Ohio .Insert* that IVotv In the Time lor AliU'ricain to t.et Their Share ol the ( otumerce ol Astatic I outlines. Hamilton. O. Sept. Xi.—Senator For aker yesterday delivered an address here at the emancipation celebration on the Butler county fair grounds. Among the features of his address were bis declarations for expansion and an argument on trusts. He said in part: "We bear it said that the tariff is the soother of trusts and that they are ihe cause of all sorts of evils. We do | have trusts and some are as bad is they are represented, but tiny are I not the product of the tariff and 112 ' I hey w< re, the tariff, with its attend ant. prosperity and trusts is better than fri'e trade and idleness, ruin, lum ber and soup houses and rags. "That the tariff is not responsible for trusts is shown by the fact that while they have tree trade in Knglnnd, yet they also have jnore trusts in that country than in any other. 'l'hey had their origin there and there they had I heir most complete development. "Trusts are nol a republican institu tion, enjoyed by republicans nlone, nor a democratic institution enjoyed by democrats alone, but they are com posed of democrats and republicans alike; men of both parties arc engag'd in them and interested in their pro motion and their protection under the law. They arc . imply a feature of our modern business conditions, with re spect tn which party lines cannot be drawll. "And now just when the necessity is upon us In find markets for our snr plus products, ihe way to the best markets of all is opened by the an nexation of Hawaii and the war with Spain. It is not in Europe but in Asia, where we are to find relief. "Five or six hundred millions of peo ple, chiefly in China, are just now be ing introduced to our civilization. In the near future they will make heavy demands on the rest of the world. Kus sia, France. Cermany and England ai\> striving 1< r their share of this trade, and we owe it to the shops and fann ers of this country to secure our fair share also. To neglect our opportuni ties would be stupid folly. "Considerations of this character must not be overlooked when we con sider the acquisition of the Philippine islands. The wisdom of that acqui sition will be indue time demonstrat ed. just as in evert other case of an nexation of territory. "It is true that the islands ire in habited bv a beteroii'eneou- population, speaking many different languages and possessing varying' degrees of capacity for civilized government and Iliat all. good and bad, are. according to the terms of the treaty, to pass un der our jurisdiction: but it is not true that by their mere annexation they arc to become citizens of the I'nited States, participating in oui i.-overn jnent and competing with out labor. "On the contrary it is expressly pro vided in the treaty that the ei\il and political status of the inhabitants shall be determined bv congress, and this provision of the treaty is as much the supreme law of the I'nited States as though it were set forth in tin con stitution itself. "An unhappy war is now in prog ress. It is costing us many lives and many millions, but President McKitt iev lias announced that he has no pur pose in prosecuting it except only to restore order and prepare the way for the establishment indue time of sueli civil government as congress may pro vide. When congress convenes all can be heard, and I have no doubt but that wise re ults will be reached. In tin* meantime, so long as the war conein ues there can be but two sides to it, and only one is the \merican side. Where our flag and o.tr soldiers it re. Ihere must stand the whole American people." In*uryeotn Ditch n Train.
