Derrorr, Aug. 8 from many buildings, reviewing stands ; in the streets and the bustle and air of preparation indicate that great times are expected Tiere this week. The city has been captured by the Army of the Re public, and the cheerful homage to the victors, It is twenty-five years ago since Dr, 3. F. Stephenson founded the first G. A. R. post at SEX, Gen. Alger, past commander-in-chief, chairman of the reception committee, has named the present encampruent the “silver anniversary.” The Commander's Arrival, Commander-inChief Veazey and the veterans from New England generally arrived today in nine special trains, Yet New England has not the greatest distant delegation by any means. The citizens of Detroit are giving the veterans a rousing welcome, After Gov. ernor Winans vetoed the bill uppropels- ting £30,000 for the entertainment of the visitors on the ground of unconstitution- ality, the people got together and raised £100,000 to take care of the posts, decor. ating the city and buying fireworks, Among those mentionad as candidates for the position of commander-in-chief are Colonel W. R. Smedburg, of Califor- nia; Colonels Ira M. Hedges and John Palmer and General H. A. Barnum, New York; John Taylor, Pennsylvania; Colonel A. G, Wessert, past senior com- mander-in-chief, Wisconsin; Judge Hurst, Ohio, and Colonel Charles P. Lincoln, assistant commissioner of pen- sions, who is Michigan's candidate, Working for the Next Encampment, Lincoln, Neb., is working to secure the national encampment of 1592, The citizens have pledged a large sum of money toward defraying expenses and are pushing the claims of their city, Nebraska has a large soldier population and its neighbor, Kansas, has over 100, 000 veterans who are supporting the Lincoln boom. A large contingent of Grand Army men arrived from Washington last night by the Pennsylvania railroad. Accompany- ing the Grand Army representatives is a company of prominent citizens of Washington. They brought with them DR. STEPHENSON, Founder of the G. A. R.) hundreds of maps of Washington and the surrounding country, showing the bat. tle fields and other points of interest, and avery handsome invitation plate of sil- | ver, beantifully engraved and decorated, Le Popular Veterans, DETROIT, Mich., Ang. 4 — “If this sort of thing continues much longer De troiters will have to move to Windsor to give way to the veterans and sssure them of a warm welcome,” said one of the leading men of the city as he stood on a street corner and watched the fiif. teenth band, within an hour, go up Woodward avenue, followed by a long line of grizzled veterans Among the early prominent arrivals was Secretary of War Redfield Proctor, who was accompanied by Quartermaster General Bachelder. He had no sooner left his car than he was surrounded by a mob of people anxious to shake hands | with him, and his whole day was spent in receiving the marks of distinction from the old veterans. General and Governor Fairchild, of Wisconsin, with one empty sleeve, was another citizen | soldier that all delighted to honor, while 3 : : i 1 General Alger, right at home, where he is loved, was given a reception as heart and cordial as any. Ex-President Hayes was also honored by loud applause when- ever the crowd caught sight of him and was last night surrounded by an im- mense crowd at his reception at Colonel | F. J. Hecker's house, Last night's festivities consisted of three p esentations—one to Commander. in-Chief Veasey of a $1,000 gold medal set with diamonds ; one of the same sort to General Alger, from his aides of last year, and one to Major Fingree, a member of the Second Massachusstts heavy ar. tillery, who is caring for all the mem. bers of his battery by turning his mag. nificent estate into a camp, with a menu card in the feed tent that would make many hotels green with envy Opposing the Colored Veterans.

One section of the pier was begun on the New Jersey shore and built out, and the other section was begun out in the river and built in, Last week there was trouble eaused by the great flow of water through the gap. Contractor McLeon's pile driver tom of the river, engaged to assist in the work, It was then discovered that if the work was continued the two ends, instead of meet. ing, would lop over each other. The engineers had made a wrong estimate, Now the contractors are busily en gaged, at the government's expense, in puting out the piles that have already wen driven. The line of the jetty wil) have to be changed in order to maks the ends meet so as to close the gap. Had the mistake not been made the work would have been completed and turned over to the government by Oct. 1. Now ita completion will be much later.
