UNION FINALLY SPLITS ON POINT
G. A. R. Encampment Adjourns San
I Francisco Gets the Xext Meeting;
Aid for Confederate Soldiers'
Home Called For.
' OREGON IS PLEASED.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. The Grand
Army men from Oregon and Washing
ton who are here express gratification
at the selection of San Francisco for
the place of holdlnc the next encamp
ment. They say the California city la
the only one on the Pacific Coast that
could be selected, the Grand Army
strength of the other states being com
paratively light. It Is not doubted but
ivhat the San Francisco encampment
will attract to the Coast countless per
sons never before west of the Rockies,
and the majority who travel a great
distance will avail themselves of the
opportunity to see the entire Coast. In
this way It Is believed Oregon and
Washington will be lndlrectely benefit
ed. A special effort will be made to
have the' railroads arrange excursions
to San Francisco via Oregon .and Wash
ington. WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. The National
Encampment of the G. A. R. for 1902
came to a close today, although a, few
social .gatherings may assemble tomorrow.
San Francisco -was chosen as the next
place of meeting, and the election of
officers begun yesterday was completed.
Resolutions were adopted by the encamp
ment having in view liberal treatment of
veterans In- the matter of public offices
and pensions. The "kindred bodies to the
parent organization also brought their
several conventions to a close, the Sons
of "Veterans, Woman's Relief Corps and
' other .bodies choosing officers for the en
suing year.
The Union Veterans' Union has a de
cidedly lively day, and the final result
was a split in the organization. The 'first
row was over a question of eligibility to
membership. A resolution; was adopted
that let down the bars too much to suit
,some of the state delegations with a
large -membership in the order. This
caused ill feeling. Later the friction in
the union developed rapidly, in conse
quence of the adoption by a committee of
the order which had been investigating
the character and conduct of Commander-in-Chief
Dyrenforth of a- report recom
mending the suspension of the commander-in-chief,
and that D. F. Hutchinson,
of New York, deputy commander, assume
the chair. General Dyrenforth was pre
siding over the convention when the com
mittee endeavored to report. He refused
to recognize it or surrender his office to
Mr. Hutchinson. Turbulent scenes fol
lowed,' until finally largo element of the
organization withdrew, those remaining
Te-felectlng General Dyrenforth, and the
speeders taking steps to form a new
union.
The weather was fine, thus giving the
veterans glorious October days through
out their encampment
The members of the Union Veterans
Union who left the convention today be
cause of the opposition to General R. G
Dyrenforth as commander-in-chief, and
for other reasons, held a meeting tonight.
Those present declined to say what had
been done, but the Impression Us that
their object in meeting was to consider
the question of withdrawal from the par
ent order and forming a new order under
the constitution of 1SS3. It is said that
the departments which are considering
the question of withdrawal from the order
are those of Illinois, New York, Pennsyl
t yania, Ohio. Massachusetts, Delaware
Nebraska, South Dakota and the Poto
mac. UNION VETERANS' UMOS.
Attempt to Unseat the Commander
Brings Reign of Pnndemonlnm.
WASHINGTON. Oct. lO.-The sessions
of the Union Veterans' Union today were
marked by scenes of wild disorder and
confusion. The proceedings at times bo
came so heated that personal encounters
appeared probable. The trouble began
when. an effort was made to amend the
constitution so as to restore the six
months' service clause as a basis for
membership In the organization. After
two hours' discussion, the proposition
wis rejected. This action created much
HI feeling A motion was then adopted
to permit sons of members of the organi
zations to vote and otherwise participate
in the proeeedjngs, An amendment .Was
also adopted admitting to membership
sons-in-law and grandsons of members
ami any honorably discharged soldier'
without regard to his service. While the
voting wan going on, a large number of
members of the Ohio, Illinois, New York,
Iowa and Pennsylvania delegations met in
conference over a proposition to with
draw from the organization. andN affiliate
with the Massachusetts department- This
department severed its connection with
the union after the Des Moines conven
tion, whichstruck fro.m the constitution
the six months' service clause. Before
the convention met in the afternoon, the
executive committee heard General Dy
renforth, the commander-in-chief, in re
lation to charges which had been filed
against, him by the judge advocate-general
of the division of the Potomac, alleg
ing the use of arbitrary power and reflect
ing on his character. Later, the commit
tee aaoptea a report recommending that
he be suspended as commander-in-chief.
Crorrd Rashes at Hutchinson.
General Dyrenforth was notified In open
session of the action by General B. F.
Hutchinson, of Rochester, deputy commander-in-chief,
who had been directed
by the executive committee to preside.
Pandemonium followed. Every man was
on his feet: chairs were overturned, and
an effort was made to throw General
Hutchinson off the platform. He, how
ever, raised a heavy cane which, he car
ried, and thus kept the crowd back. Gen
eral Dyrenforth refused to recognize the
committee to present its report, and
finally, after General Hutchinson had
been called on to preside. General Dyren
forth refused to make way for "him. Gen
eral Hutchinson then left the hall, as did
the delegations named, and the conven
tion proceeded to elect a commander-in-chief.
The names of Harrow L. Street
and General Dyrenforth were put in nom
ination. The executive committee of the
order thereupon declared that the elec
tion was Illegal, and under the constitu
tion General Hutchinson is the legal commander-in-chief.
As the anti-Dyrenforth
men filed out, they stated that they would
net remain In the organization under
Dyrenforth, or unless the six months'
clause was restored to the constitution.
After order had been secured, the con
vention, with General Dyrenforth in the
chair, elected the following officers: First
National deputy, Llajor-General Charles
E. Forrest, of New York City; second
National deputy, J. C. Freeman, Louis
ville, and an. executive committee.
SIG DAY WITH THE G. A. X.
Assistance for Alabama Confederate
Home Is Called For.
WASHINGTON. Oct 10. The list day
of the National G. A. R. Encampment was
a busy one. One of the most important
.actions was the adoption of a resolution
submitted by Past Commander-in-Chief
Burdette, indorsing" the position taken, by
Commander-in-Chief Torrance in his re
cent address calling for assistance from
members of the Grand Army for the
Home for Confederate Soldiers at Moun
tain Creek, Ala., and urging on the vet
erans generally the adoption of an atti
tude of brotherly kindness toward their
foes df the Civil War.
; Since his arrival in Washington, Com
mander-in-Chief Torrance has received
.many assurances of appreciation of the
Spirit of that address from his comrades
of the Grand Army. There have also come
to him a number of letters and telegrams
from points in -the South expressing ap
preciation. In some Instances, these com.
munlcations advise him of the actions of
posts of ex-Confederate veterans Indors
ing his address.
Typical Confederate Letter.
Among other letters received is .one
from Major J., M. Falkner, of Montgom
ery, Ala., who is interested in the Moun
tain Creek Home, from which the follow
ing is an extract:
"Contributions as a: result of your in
spired and inspiring letter continue to
reach me from nearly every part of the
Union. I have received, up to date, as a
result of your letter, J541. But better than
all money that could be sent me is the
brotherly love, good will, gentleness and
kindness which pervades every letter that
I have received, and I have yet to hear
of any adverse criticism anywhere in Ala
bama, either as to your action or as to
mine In receiving the funds contributed.
"I read your letter a short time ago to
the did soldiers at the Home at Mountain
Creek, and every one of them said, 'May
God bless General Torrance,' and such, I
believe to be the prayer of every true ex-
Confederate soldier in Alabama.
"In my opinion, down to this date,
nothing has ever been done that is so cal
culated to obliterate all the scars of war,
ind to wipe out forever all the bitterness
between those who wore the blue and-the
gray as your action in this matter, and
while there may be a few who came In
late and did not get enough of war, that
are still treasuring animosities, yet there,
are few Indeed who are not ready to say,
in the language of that illustrious and
magnanimous victor, General Grant 'Let
us have peace.
"My friends and comrades throughout
the state wish for you and every member
of the Grand Army of the Republic a
great meeting at Washington, and if we
could meet you there, there would be such
a union of hearts and shaking of hands
that it would be impossible to distinguish
between the blue and. the gray, and we
would then show-you how much wo ap
preciate the notable efforts of the G. A.
R. to aid in caring for some of our com
rades who areunable to care for them
selves." To Reinstate Pension Examiner.
A resolution was adopted Indorsing the
report of the. pensions committee, as was
also a resolution requesting the Commis
sioner of Pensions to reinstate Pension
Examiner Charles Hambuck who was
dismissed by Commissioner Evans. The
following committee recommendations
were also approved:
"First That the committee on legisla
tion for veterans In the public service be
continued; that a .similar committee be
appointed by the incoming commander-in-chief,
with Instructions to urge upon, the
lawmakers of. the Nation at the coming
session of Congress the enactment of
House resolution 14,105, as Introduced, or
some similar measure of legislation.
: "Second That in the event of failure
to secure a vote on the subject-matter,
and the adjournment of the. 57th Con
gress occurs without legislation there
upon, that the commander-in-chief and
said committee are authorized, directed
and charged to appeal to the President of
the United States in the name of the G.
A. R. for Justice, and respectfully re
quest and urge that he will exercise the
power conferred upon him by section
1753, Revised Statutes, to tho end lhat by
Executive order, or otherwise, he will
make effective throughout the civil serv
ice, in a practical way, as applied to the
National Government, the recommenda
tory provisions of section 1755, Revised
Statutes, and also insure that the require
ments of all other laws-' affecting the
rights of honorably discharged soldier
and sailors in matters of appointment,
employment and retention In the public
service shall be carried out and ob
served." The movement for the erection at St
Louis of a monument to the memory of
General Franz Siegel and for a memorial
bridge across the Potomac at Washing
ton, were Indorsed, as was also the prop
osition to erect at St Louis a building to
be used by all fraternities in connection
with the Exposition In that city.
Admission of Sons of Veterans.
The questions of admitting the Sons of
Veterans to the meetings of Grand Army
Posts was discussed at some length, and
referred to a committee of five to be ap
pointed by the commander-in-chief. Much
time was "devoted to a proposition to elim
inate from the regulations of the order
the provisions against the admission to
auxiliary bodies of those who hve borne
arms against the Union. The suggestion
was made by the Southern delegates, who
advocated the organization of a citizens'
corps in connection with the Grand Army.
No action was taken. There was also
some ineffectual dlscussloa of a resolution
condemning the movement to change the
Army service uniform from blue to graS
and of a suggestion made by Pension
Agent Huldekoper, of Philadelphia, of
.payment of pensions from quarterly to
monthly.
Commander-in-Chief Stewart today re

STANDS BY UNION LABOR
Farmers' Congress Against Nonanlon
Men and Methods.
MACON, Ga., Oct 10. At the last day's
session of the National Farmers' CongresB
the committee on resolutions reported un-.
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS
LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR JOHN L. BATES.
favorably a resolution that labor unions
should not attempt to prevent nonunion
men from working at wages which they
themselves refuse.
A resolution of Indorsement for the ship
subsidy bill wa9 laid- on th& table by an
overwhelming jyote.
Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, Richmond
and Rock Island want the congress In 1903.
The location will be fixed by the execu
tive committee. During the afternoon
session John M. Stahle, of Chicago, secre
tary of the convention, delivered an ad
dress on "The Labor Problem From the
Farmer's Standpoint" He said in part:
"One of the most difficult problems of
farming . Is to get a sufficient supply of
good labor. Farmers could hardly pay
higher wagea But to a very small de
gree It Is a question of more wages. The
loneliness of farm life, that has been so
powerful In taking farmer boys from the
farm and keeping city laborers from it, is
fast passing away before rural free mall
delivery, the farm telephone and the coun
try trolley line.
"If by education a proper appreciation of
our calling and the Introduction of busi
ness methods we put farming on the same
plane as other business enterprises, we
can command for it our rightful share of.
the faithful, intelligent labor that now
goes to railroading, manufacturing and
merchandising.
"This will come to pass all the sooner
because the future will see many women
farmers. It Is already fashionable for
girls to be strong and muscular and ath
letic and sunburned. The farmer may
much, Indeed, prefer seeing his daughter
helping In the field, operating the mower
or harvester or hayrake or corn-planter
than tempting fate amid the unwholesome
and dangerous conditions of the city."

have been received in London ag to the

that the rebellion is not important, while
others, the correspondent In Athens of the

ing that the situation is very grave and
that people possessing any considerable
wealth are leaving the country.

two opposing Macedonian committees are
neutralizing each other, and that the
movement will soo.n die of inanition, pro

He Proposes to Be Heard on the
, Much-Mooted Education Bill.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10. King Edward Is
reported to be taking an active interest
in the education bill and ecclesiastic ap
pointments, cables the London correspon
dent of the Tribune. His intervention was
decisive when peace was concluded In
South Africa last Spring, and without, be
coming a partisan of either party has
emerged from the background, where
Queen Victoria was content to remain dur
ing her long reign. He Is well Informed
respecting public affairs, and is Inclined
to make his influence felt. The Prime
Minister's consultations with the sover
eign respecting ministerial measures and
selections for important offices are less
perfunctory than formerly. The King has
his opinions, which are free from a parti
san bias, and his preferences, especially
when ecclesiastical appointments are un
der consideration.
Edward VII will return to London for a
few hours after the coming Cabinet meet

poy, chief of the Moscow police, .upon
whom three attempts at assassination
were made last Spring, has Just received
two months' leave of absence. This Is

tleman on the sidewalk opened his um
brella to protect himself from ytho mud
scattereu by the chiefs carriage, and ex
claimed: "Not so fast." General Trepov

had made this remark. Upon arriving at
tho police station the man turned out to
be M. von Pleve, Minister of the Inte
rior. When the chief of police learned
the identity of his prisoner, he became
frightened and ordered his immediate re
lease. Since the incident General Trepov
has Ineffectually sought to reconcile the
Minister. V

ton's St Louis-Pacific Coast express,
which leaves -Lincoln for the Northwest
at 1:10 A. M., was held up five miles out
of the city about 1:30 o'clock this morning.
Three men, all masked, boarded the en
gine after waving lanterns and causing
the engineer to stop the train. The en
gineer and firemen were forced to leave
the cab and accompanied the robbers to
the express car. The express messenger
refused to. open" the door, and it was bad

CASEY AS PEACEMAKER.
American Admiral Working to End
Colombian Revolution.
PANAMA, Colombia, Oct. 10. A confer
ence between the government representa
tives and Rear-Admlral Casey took place
yesterday. The Admiral subsequently
said the object of the, conference was to
see If tho government and the revolution
ists could not come to some agreement.
He could not say much on the subject,
for he had 'only one side of the question.
He considered, however, that the terms
offered In President Maroquln's amnesty
decree were liberal.
Admiral Casey's only idea In conferring
with the authorities here was to end the
strife, which he considered unpatriotic,
for it not only ruins the country, but de
lays the steps being taken looking to the
completion of the canal. He did not see
from the arguments he had heard that
there wis much difference in the princi
ples unheld by either of the Colombian
parties, except ln matters relative to the
church.
Admiral Casey is studying the terms
which the government offered, and In a
day or two will send a communication to
General Herrera, the revolutionary com
mander, expressing his views on tho sit
uation, and will propose that the General
hold a conference with General Salazar,
the government commander.
Admiral Casey last- Sunday, received
General Herrcra's answer to Commander
McLean's communication notifying the
General that the United States had as
sumed control of the railroad line, but he
would net divulge the contents of the let
ter, a copy of which he sent to Washing
ton. According- to report, General Herrc
ra's note is cguched In very strong and
offensive language.
Regarding his refusal to allow the
Colombian government to transport troops
on the, railroad, the Admiral said the
United States had taken this action In
order to maintain free transit. He knew
General Herrera would not dare to In
terfere with trains flying the American
flag, but he believed that If the govern
ment were permitted to transport troops
or war material along the line. It would
be provoking to the revolutionists and
might cause an Interruption of traffic.
It Is reported, that the Liberals to the
number 'of 800 to 1000 men have a camp
back of the Empire station, and It Is
said In behalf of Admiral Casey that If
the government reinforcements are very
desirous of reaching Panama, they can
reach here from Colon. It is not known
how long the United States forces will
prevent the government from using the
trains to transport troops, but It is ad
mitted that Admiral Casey will not allow
General Herrera to bombard Panama, and
It Is asserted that If the revolutionary
gunboat Padllla comes within a limit as
signed by the Amorlcan Admiral, the lat
ter will sink her. On the other hand, he
will not permit the government gunboats
to provoke the Padllla into venturing
within the limit referred to.
COMPLAINT FROM COLOMBIA.
Irritated by Casey's Refusal to Per
mit Removal of Troops.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. The Colombian
Government, on complaint of General Sal
azar, In command of Its forces on the
Isthmus, has remonstrated with the
United Stateo Minister, at Bogota, res
pecting Admiral Casey's reported refusal
to allow troops and munitions of war to
cross the Isthmus. The Colombian Gov
ernment said It did not see how it could
suppress the rebellion if it were not al
lowed to move troops freely on Its own
territory. The officials here are confident
that Admiral Casey's order has been
misunderstood. They feel sure that if
he stopped 'the transfer of Colombian
troops or war munitions, It was only for
some temporary reason. The Colombian
Government has been assured In a cour
teous manner thaf' the United States Gov
ernment has no,intentlon of trenching on
Colombian sovereignty, which it has guar
anteed by special treaty provision. Ad
miral Casey was Informed that what
had been done was still approved, but
was reminded that he must avoid any in
fringement of Colombian sovereignty un
less ho was positively obliged to do ex to
protect the railroad.
