HEXKY WATTKKSOX S SPEECH
An Address Full of Patriotism and Given
with Good Taste-Pension Keeonv
mcndailons The Signifi
cance of Memorial luy.
Louisville, Ky., .Sept. IS.-'BusIness
and pleasure was combined by the
Urand Army folks today. While the
delegates to the national encampment
settled down to legislate for the good
of the order, and to elect oltleers for
another yeur. the rank and Hie In
dulucd In the reunions that of late
'years have become one of the most In
teresting features or encampment
week.
There were many iex-eonfederates,
too, who hunted up the reunion quar
ters of regiments with which they hud
engaged In battle und muke themselves
at home with their former foes.
The delegates to the encampment
found It dlltlcult to get down to busi
ness after the emotion created by the
welcoming exercises. The scene that
followed the closing words of the ora
tion of Henry Watterson was thrilling.
The speaker was overcome with emo
tion and left the front of the stage.
Men rose uud cried and cheered by
turns, hugged each other and them
selves, and threw huts, fans and hand
kerchiefs into the air. Hut they were
not prepared for the touching Incident
which followed. .
Mrs.. John A. "Logan .was seated a
short distance back of the commander
in chief's stand, and us (Mr. Watter
son walked away from the footlights
with the tears coursing down his
cheeks, ileneral 'Lawler took his hand
and presented him to Mrs. Logan.
Neither could speak for a moment, and
then the white-haired, motherly-looking
wonum took wis hand in both of
hers, and when she found her voice,
said, tremblingly: "I am glad 1 have
been permitted to live to hear your
speech." That was all she could say.
Then she sat down and wept.
Mrs. Clark's (irleviinccs.
Meanwhile a scene of a very different
nature was being enacted at the open
ing session of the Women's Kellef
corps. For several years the branch of
the organization at Canton, O., has sent
as a delegate Mrs. Ada F. Clark, and
Just as often has she been excluded on
technical grounds, the opposition be
ing led by Mrs. 'Sherwood, of the same
city, an ex-president of the corps. The
feud has become a celebrated one In
Ohio. This year (Mrs. dark came to
Louisville determined to enforce her
claim. Karly this morning, accompa
nied by counsel, she appeured before
Judge Edwards and secured the Issue
of fifteen temporary injunctions re
straining as many national officers of
the corps from refusing her recognition
as a delegate. These papers were given
to Sheriff PflanE, and having secured
admission to the secret session In Lib
erty hull by warning the sentinel of the
majesty of the law, he proceeded to the
platform and served the first Injunc
tion upon the national president, Mrs.
M. R. M. Wallace, of Chicago. The oth
er fourteen women he did not know.
Mrs. Wallace, upon being asked to
point them out, refused bluntly. Dele
gates mounted chairs and begged their
sisters not to betray their associates.
But Mrs. Clark had friends on the floor,
and one by one, amid a scene of wild
excitement the officials were designat
ed until the Injunctions had been
served. Then Mrs. Clark took her seat
and the sheriff withdrew.
At 10 o'clock Commander-in-Chief
Lawler called the encampment to order
and ex-Congressman Warner, of Mis
souri, and State Commander Kelly
were presented to extend greetings to
the delegates in behalf of the city, and
the Kentucky Orand army department.
Then, amid a scene of wild enthusiasm,
the delegates rising en masse and
cheering and waving of hats, Henry
Watterson. whose oration at 1'lttsburg
last year brought the encampment to
Louisville, was escorted to the foot
lights and addressed the grand en
campment In a speech full of patriot
ism and good taste.
The roll cull having developed the
fact that every one of the delegates to
the national enoumpment was present,
and all those not connected with tho
order having been excluded, the. com
mander In chief proceeded to deliver
his address.
Referring to the pension laws, he
said:
While we are not asking for anv new
pension legislation we do ask ami' Insist
that when a law is passed by congress lis
provisions us Intended by It shall lie cur
ried out, and not misconstrued and mis
applied by any man or set of men or any
party who muy be !n power. 1 am not a
lawyer, but I know the verdict of anv
court of loyal men would be that after a
myn has furnished the proofs and has
been granted pension, that pension can
not be taken away from him without due
process of law. I know this is being done,
however, nil over the land, for I have
seen the evidences of It In every depart
ment In which I have been pensions re
duced from $12 to $fl, ami from IS to pi, und
many cut off entirely. Then, again, a
man who applied for a .pension two and
three years ugo will receive a notice th.'it
his claim is relented, then notified that his
case Is reopened and allowed, but onlv
from the time of reopening, thus cheating
a wortny man out or ;mu or so. Many nf
our comrades thus dealt with are not able
to bring suit to test the constitutionality
of this sort of ruling of a pension com
missioner. I would, therefore, recom
mend that the Incoming council of admin
istration be empowered to select a ense
and prosecute the same. It has linen hn
custom of encampments tn appoint a com
mute to prepare some testimonial for the
retir'ng commander', In chief. I recom
mend that no such committee be appoint
ed this year, but that this money be usid
In mak'ng s test case hs to the consti
tutionality of the act of June 27, 1S90.
Significance of Memorial Day.
i The speaker next touched upon Me
morial Duy, yearly becoming more
sacred to the veterans and the Ameri
can people. The decoration of the
graves In the national cemeteries In the
south, however, has In some place. be
come burdensome to the comrades by
reason of their being so scattered. It
was therefore recommended that the
Incoming commander In chief appoint
a committee of three to urge congress
to Include In the appropriation for the
care of these cemeteries a sum suffi
cient to defray the expenses of holding
Memorial Day services at each of the
southern cemeteries. These expendi
tures could be made through the quar
termaster generals of the army.
Comrades, let us see to It that the day Is
kept as a memorial day; let us denounce
In our own communities any desecration
of the day, such as races and games, ex
cursions, balls and other amusements of
which there Is too much on this day. The
tendency is to forget the objects of its
observance and make It a day of pleas
ure and recreation.
There Is another subject that deserves
ti reference. On my first v'.slt to Wash
ington, D. C. (when I did not sea the presi
dent), my heart was pained as I listened
to the recital of the sufferings of our com
rades, and widows snd orphans of our late
comrades, caused by their dismissal from
the departments, and tbelr belief In the
power of our great organisation to restore
them to places from which they claim
they were dropped without cause con
vinced me that wewuKht to have a special
committee to look after and help them,
I do, therefore, recommend that my tuc
vessor be empowered to uppolnt a commit
tee of three for this work.
The commander In chief laid em
phasis upon "dlil not" in referring to
the president. He concluded y thank
ing the officers of the organization and
his personal stuft for their services
during the year, and In touching lan
guage bade his comrades "Hlod speed."
The adjutant general reported a
membership til good standing of 3"i7,tiil!.
There is a balance of $33,427 on hand
and no account unpaid.
F1KRV GOVERNOR THAYER.
His Speech at Phoenix Hill Is Greeted
with Derision,
Louisville. Ky., Sept. 12, Kx-Oover-nor
John M. Thayer, of Nebraska, wis
almost hooted from the platform at t'he
Oram! Army camp tire at Phoenix Hill
last night, which was participated In
by a crowd of over lO.lHM). Karly In the
evening; addresses were delivered by
Congressman-elect F.vana and ex-lov-ernor
I'.uckncr, nnd It was close on to
11 o'clock when the Nebraskan was In
troduced. After talking of war times
and the Hag. he suddenly shot off on a
new tack and commended Cleveland for
calling out The United Snaths soldiers
to put down the lubming men In Chi
cago a year ago. He called tlovernor
Altgeld an anarchist and denounced
Kugene V. Debs for everything under
the sun. Then .he switched about and
Bald: "Colonel Kvans, you're the neitt
Republican congressman from this dis
trict. 1 hoped to meet more of them
hero tonight. I cull on you to amend
the naturalization laws when you go
to congress, so us to shut out the Da
goes of Italy and Immigrants of other
Kuropean countries."
Thousands in the audience Immedi
ately shouted: "Shut up," "Sit down."
Colonel Kvuns advanced to the front
of the platform and asked the audience
to give Governor Thayer a hearing.
Silence reigned for a moment and he
began. He said he had made speeches
over one thousand times, but never be
fore had he been Interrupted. "I don't
know why It was," he said. A voice
from the audience responded: "You
don't know any beter."
General Thayer attempted to continue
his talk on the same lines, but by this
time the entire audience was In an up
roar and there were cries of "take him
away." "we won't hear him." He man
aged to say: "I thank all respectable
people In the audience for the polite at
tention they have accorded me. For
the disrespectful people, I have nothing
but contempt," and then left the plat
form. KILLS AGAINST HOLMES.
Philadelphia (irnnd Jury r.hnrgcs Him
with tho Murder of llcnjnmin Plotcl.
Philadelphia, 'Sept. 12 The grand
Jury today found a true bill of Indict
ment against Herman '. Mudgett,
alias H. H. Holmes, charging him with
the murder of Benjamin Pletzel.
The only witnesses examined by the
grand Jury were Detective Geyer and
L. O. Fouse, president of Fidelity
Mutual Life association, the concern
that 'Hblmes swindled, out of $10,000.
and they gave sufficient testimony to
warrant the finding of the true bill.
The latter contains nothing but the
specific charge of murder.
District Attorney Graham said today
that the Indictment found in Indian
apolis against Holmes for the murder
of Howard Pletzel had had no bearing
upon the bringing of the indictment
here.
"We had reached that stage when an
Indictment should be brought," he said,
"and it was brought without the con
sideration of the other cases against
Holmes. There are no new develop
ments In the case, and I can't ay when
the trial will take place. There is a
lot of work to be done before the man
can be tried."
Notwithstanding the latter remark.
It Is believed thatlMr. Graham will en
deavor to have the trial as soon as pos
sible. Lawyer Shoemaker, who repre
sents Holmes, when he heard of the In
dictment being brought, expressed
pleasure, and said he was confident that
his client would be acquitted.
"We have always been willing that
an indictment for murder should be
found against Holmes in this city," he
continued. "In fact, It has always
been a puzzle to me why the authori
ties In view of their startling dully an
nouncements that the chain of evidence
against my client was almost complete,
should have delayed so long, but I am
Informed that It was because the dis
trict attorney was only waiting until
Holmes had been Indicted In all of the
places where charges have been lodged
against him."
The trial, when It does tnke place, will
be one of the most remarkable that
has been held In Philadelphia. It will
probably last a long time.
READING GOAL ADVANCE.
Prices Advanced from Ten to fifteen
Cents Per Ton.
Philadelphia, Sept. 12. The Heading
Rulltoad company today announced an
advance of from 10 to ir cents a ton
on all sizes nf anthracite coal, except
pea coal. This applies only to line
and city trade, ami not to tidewater
trade. The action 'has been followed
by a similar move on the part of the
Lehigh Valley company, nnd will pre
sumably also be followed by the Le
high Coal and 'Navigation company
and the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany. An official of the Reading company
stated today that the condition of the
trade warranted the advance and
that the movement has been antici
pated since the first of September. It
Is said that the advance is customary
at this season of the year.

last night, and broke up a political
meeting which he was addressing here
In the Interests of the People's party

He had just finished denouncing the
"bond steal when eggs fell thick and
fast cbout him. He scored his assail
ants and attempted to continue his
ipeech, but the audience was In con
fusion p.nd he was compelled to desist.
It looked for a time as if there would
be a free fight, but cool heads sued for
peace and the crowd dispersed, dls
cussing the outrage.

THE RACE WAS A FIZZLE
Lord Dunravca Lowers His Sails
After Crossing the Line.
EXI'LAKATIOX OP MR. CLCNME
Ho Intimates That tho Usee Course Will
Never Prove Satisfactory to
tho Karl of Dun
ravca. New York, Sept. 12. The America's
cup races ended in a tiusco. Lord .Dun
raven withdrew the Valkyrie imme
diately after the start and the Defender
Balled over the course alone. The
America's cup committee notified C.
Oliver Iseliu that three races and the
cup were awarded the gallant Defender
and the crowds ulloat and ashore
cheered the ship that sustained Uncle
Sam's supremacy on the seus and the
skipper and crew that Bulled her. For
at least another yeur the international
trophy Is ours, and in all probability It
will be many years before a British
yacht again challenges for the cup. The
mishap of lust Tuesday and the rather
remarkable action of Lord ltuuraveii
toduy will not further the. Interests of
International sport. Americans have
complained of not being given fair play
when racing in ICngllsh waters, and
both In lK'il and this year extra pains
have beeu taken to prevent his lordship
from having cause to complain of un
fairness here. In withdrawing he does
not charge any special unfairness to his
boat, but buses his action upon the in
terference with both yachts cuused by
the large excursion fleet.
The trouble was not caused today,
for the course was clear at the start
when the British boat withdrew. The
objections raised by the owner of thP
Valkyrie were made before the boats
reached the line, and were based upon
the conduct of the attendant fleet on
Saturday and Tuesday. 1ord Dunrav
en sent the America's cup committee a
strongly worded letter, complaining
about the action of steamboats and
tugs, and stating that he was not will
ing to continue racing Valkyrie unless
a cleat course was provided. He added
that. In his opinion, the course should
be distant from any large city,
Mr. tilennic's l.xplnnotlnn.
Upon the Valkyrie's arrival at Bay
Ridge, Mr. Gleiinie explained why the
Valkyrie did not race today; he said:
"Lord Dunraven handed a letter writ
ten yesterday to A. Cass Canfleld, sec
retary of the America's cup commit
tee, with a request t hat it be not opened
until alter the decision In the Defend
er's protest. The substance of the let
ter was that Lord Dunraven did not
think a fair course could be obtained
off New York, and asked the commit
tee to provide a course that could be
kept clear of boats, lie suggested
M.irblehead or some other place distant
from a city like New York.
He received no reply from the com
mittee, and did not intend to race to
day. -He went down the bay like a true
sportsman to give the other boats a
chance to start, and make It a race If
he choose to. Had Lord Dunraven re
ceived a reply to his communication he
would have raced today.
Mr. Glennle was asked If iMr. Dun
raven had not found the course clear
at the start today. He replied:
"Certainly."
"But how about all the rest of the
race and the finish?"
.Mr. Glennle continued:
"We did not want to goi and wallow
over the course. It Is not fair for one
boat or the other."
Mr. Glennle was asked:
"What are Lord Dunraren's plans?"
He replied:
'"I have not the faintest Idea."
The Valkyrie anchored oft Bay Ridge
at 2 o'clock.
Lord Dunraven declined to talk with
the representative of the United Press
In person, but his friend, Mr. Glennle,
got Into a naphtha boat and went
alongside the United Press tug, and
there gave Lord IDunraven's explana
tion of the failure of the British yacht
to sail the race.
Dunnivcn Interviewed.
Lord Dunraven said this evening:
"I am quite satisfied that I cannot
off New- York sail a race for the Ameri
ca's cup under satisfactory conditions.
The situation is this:
"I do not believe that I have a su
perior boat. I do not believe that I
rhnuld be subjected to an Insult from
the regatta committee of any yacht
club or from the representative of any
challenging syndicate, it was not my
way; I was forced to It.
"There Is no difference of opinion
aboard our boat. It Is a simple mat
ter of refusal to sail under existing
conditions and rulers.
"I know that I cannot get a show. I
saw Haff put up his helm or I thought
I saw It. I have no criticism to make
upon Watson. iHe turned out a good
boat. She crossed the Atlantic ocean,
and if she could not win It Is not the
fault of Watson. Watson Is not re
sponsible, and, of course, you know it
from my actions. The Valkyrie is my
yacht."
The Defender arrived off Bay Ridge
at 0 o'clock.
The lloston t. lore's Offer.
Boston, Sept. 12. The Boston Globe
will say tomorrow morning: 'XJenernI
Charles H. Taylor, editor of the Globe,
has made an offer to C. Oliver Iselln
and to Lord Dunraven which will not
only please every true yachtsman, but
all the lovers of fair play in sports in
the world. He has offered a $5,000 cup
as a trophy to be contested for on the
Marbiehead course by the Defender and
Valkyrie, and thus determine which Is
the better of the two boats. '
"At 1 o'clock last evening the offer
was taken under consideration by the
New York Yacht club cup committee,
and at the same time Lord Dunraven
was seriously considering the proposi
tion." Defender Awarded the Cup,
New York, iHept. 12. The regatta cup
committee met at the New York Yacht
club house tonight and awarded the

New York, Sept. 12. Two young wo
