bers of the G. A. R., who. have been ar
riving by every train for the past -week
to attend the 37th annual National en
campment, -were treated to a genuine
surprise tonight. As they came from
the East ana South, they had noted that
the city -Bras in gala atttlre. They had
seen Business buildings decorated In the
National colors, and had casually, ob
served the -wires strung across the prin
cipal streets. The twin gothlc arches,
erected In the center of the business sec
tion of the city, also came in for a share
of appreciation. But this gave way to
i admiration as darkness fell and the elec
'tric current was turned on.
Veritable Palace of LlRlit.
Then, suddenly, as if by the call of a
magician's wand, the city was trans
formed from its dally commercial aspect
into a veritable palace of light. The gothic
arches spanning the principal avenues,
elaborate in their decorations and
crowned with flags, suddenly burst into
bloom, each a man-el of color and artistic
design. Possibly nothing finer has been
seen in America: certainly nothing of
equal beauty In this city.
. Glancing along Market street, the city's
vmaln thoroughfare, the eye was met at
hevery point by fluttering flags and lights
iihat boro the National colors swinging
rfrom slender waves of wire. The evening
was a perfect one. so far as weather
u'bs concerned, and the streets were
thronged until a late hour with visiting
veterans and their friends. The events
of the day were of the routine oraer.

MHcm Ik True to Blnclc
The arrival of General Miles, who is
still being urged "by many of his friends
for the position of commander-in-chief,
has added considerable interest to the oc
casion. The General, however, still de
clares he la not a candidate, and reiter
ates his previous statement that he will
not oppose the election of General Black.
Candidates for other officers are fast
looming, and the election promises to be
a lively one. Nebraska desires to name
the chaplaln-in-chlef. and will present
the name of Rev. H. Bross. of Lincoln,
who for several years was chaplain of
the G. A. R. department of Nebraska.
Rev. Mr. Bross is one of the ablest
members of the Congregational Church
In the West and Is highly esteemed both
for his ability and his comradeship. He Is
a member of Farragut Post. No. 25. of
Lincoln. At the recent meeting of the
Nebraska encampment at Fremont, it
was the unanimous vote of the encamp
ment that his name be presented to the
National encampment for the office of
chaplaln-in-chlef. All the past depart
ment commanders of Nebraska now liv
ing have indorsed his candidacy and with
the strong support x)f Nebraska and other
states it is believed he may secure the
election. Immediately after President
Lincoln's call for "300.000 more," Rev.
Bross left the pulpit, Somerset, Mich.,
helped to raise Company G, Eighteenth
Michigan Infantry, and went to the front
ns Second Lieutenant of that company.
After the war he spent two years in Illi
nois, six years in Iowa and has been 38
years in Nebraska. He has been identi
fied for 20 years with Grand Army inter
ests; was a charter member of Holland
Post. No. 75; afterward of Lennington
Post. No. 227. and for 13 years a member
of Farragut Post of Lincoln. He was for
three consecutive years the Nebraska de
partment chaplain; last year a delegate
to the National encampment and is now
cne of the aides-de-camp of the com-rnander-ln-chk-f.
He travels 25,000 miles
every year In the state, speaks at camp
fires and reunions and does much to en
courage the smaller posts.

St. Louis and Salt Lake are the chief
competitors of Denver in the contest for
the meeting place of the National en

making strong fights, but talk with many
delegates indicates that St. Louis stands
a good chance of capturing the prize.
The argument presented that visitors to
the G. A R. reunion will also have an
opportunity of seeing the World's Fair
has had much weight, which may be
shown when the ballot Is taken.
The Illinois delegation held its first
formal meeting this morning. The affairs
of the encampment were discussed, and
it was resolved to act as a unit if possi

the principal streets today, and attract

CAN MAINTAIN BLACKLIST
Telegraph Company Wins in Injunc
tion Suit Brought by Labor Union.
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 17. Judge Rogers, In
the United States Circuit Court, today
handed down an opinion sustaining the de
murrer of the Western ;legraph Com
pany in the labor Injunction case of Boyer
et aL against the company. In the writ
ten opinion Judge Rogers sustained every
point urged by Attorney E. Smith, repre
senting the defendant company, holding
that the company has the absolute" right
to dismiss employes because they belong
to the union, or for any other reason;
that there can be no conspiracy to do a
lawful act; that the so-called blacklisting
may be maintained and given out for the
use of others.
Superintendent J. G. Frankel, of tho
second district of the Western Union, said
today:
"The case arose from the fact that a
certain number of operators were relieved
on account of a reduction In the force,
some for insubordination and for other
causes. They contended that it was on ac
count of belonging to the union, and they
were therefore deprived of a livelihood by
It It was conclusively shown that all
operators so relieved were employed either
by brokers or railroads, with the exception
of one. who could not be located. I do
not care to say anything further."
The case resulted from a bill filed by
Telegraph Operator Arthur Boyer and oth
ers, alleging they were members of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union of Amer
ica, Local No. 3, of St. Louis, and that
they had been discharged from the eervico
tof the Western Union. Telegraph Company
solely because they belonged to the union:
that It was the Intention of the Western
Union to discharge other employes solely
because they belonged to the union, and
that a conspiracy existed between tho St.
Louis officials of the Western Union to dls
charge all operators belonging to the
union and to break it up; that the Western
Union maintains a list, so-called a "black
list," on which has been placed the names
of the members of the union discharged.
and this in furnished to others, and there
by those blacklisted have been prevented
from obtaining other employment.
The bill sought to prevent the Western
Union Company from discharging any
employe because of his being a member
of the labor union, and the St. Louis of
ficers of the Western Union from con
spiring to that end, and to prevent In
.terference of any kind with tho union.
and to prevent the estern Union from
maintaining a blacklist and placing there
on the names of those who might be dls
charged because of being members of the
union.
The Western Union Company demurred
to the bill and this, demurrer was sus
talned by Judge Rogers, of Arkansas, sit
ting in the United States Circuit Court
today. Judge Rogers held that the West
ern Union Company has the absolute
right to discharge employes not under
contractral relations with the company.
for any cause or without cause, or that a
like right exists on the part of the em
ploye to sever his relations with the com
pany for any cause or without cause;
that If a contract of employment Is vio
lated the recourse of the employe Is at
law and not by a bill in equity, such as
was brought In this case: that there could
be no conspiracy to commit a lawful act
such as he held to be the discharge of the
company's employes because of being
members of a union; that the company
had the right to maintain a list on which
might be placed the name of a discharged
employe and the cause of discharging, and
this list might be given others, provided
its contents were truthful and its circu
lation honest: as the complaint alleged,
the union was formed for moral and
proper purposes, there should exist no
objection on the part of an employe to
have his discharge based upon the mere
fact that he was a member of such an or
der. This decision is regarded as conclusively
settling the law In the company's favor.
The plaintiffs took 15 days to amend their
bill.

to drink to these great powers and to
their sovereigns."
The toast was drunk standing. Then
the President continued:
"We have with us representatives of
an international Incident. As to that, may
the best boat win." With laughter and
applause, the toast likewise was drunk
by the guests standing. Captain Dechalr.
of the British Embassy, proposed the
health of the President. Rising again, the
guests drank the toast heartily.
President Returns Calls.
At the conclusion of the luncheon, the
officers returned to their ships. At 12:25,
the President left the Mayflower in a
barge for the flagship Kearsarge to re
turn the call of Rear-Admiral Barker. He
was accompanied by Secretary Moody,
Admiral Dewey. Rear-Admiral Rodgers,
Rear-Admiral Taylor, General Chaffee and
Commander Albert G. Leaves, of the
Mayflower. The Mayflower fired a Presi
dential salute as the barge cleared the
ship.
As the President went aboard the Kear
sarge. his flag was broken out at the main
peak and every one of the 12 saluting
ships in the fleet fired a President's sa
lute.
Makes Address to the Men.
After chatting with Admiral Barker
and casually inspecting the Kearsarge,
the President, before visiting the other
flagships to return the calls of the Rear-
Admirals, addressed the enlisted men and
officers of the ship. When they had been
drawn up on the gun deck, he spoke as
follows:
"Officers and Enlisted Men: I wish to
say a word of thanks to you on behalf
of the people of the United States. There
are many public servants whom I hold in
high esteem, but there are no others
whom I hold In quite the esteem I do
the officers and enlisted men of the Navy
and the Army of the United States.
"In doing your work here, every bit
should be done with an eye toward the
day when upon every man. from the Ad
miral to the lowest in rank, may rest the
responsibility and duty as to whether a
new page of honor In American history
shall be turned. As I passed the Olympla,
I remembered her grand victory of May
1, 1S9S, which made her name forever one
of renown In our history. But ail aboard
her, from Admiral down to the newest
enlisted man, had been equipped for the
work by days and by years of what must
have been at many times irksome duty.
Special Prnlse to Gunners.
"In speaking to all of you, J want a
chance to say a word of special recogni
tion to the gunpolnters. The shots that
hit are tho shots that tell. They are
what make the Navy prove Itself equal
to any need. I am happy to say that the
American seamen have never been found
deficient in the fighting edge, the first re
quisite of the fighting man. I do not
praise you for being brave; that Is ex
pected. Tho coward Is to be condemned
rather than the brave man to be praised.
I expect everj one to show a perfect
willingness to dio rather than to see the
slightest stain put upon the American
flag, but in addition you must know how
to fight as well as know how to die; then
you will be what I believe you are, the
most efficient fighting forco in the world.
I again thank you for what you are. A
peculiar responsibility attaches to each
and every one of you. It has been a pleas
ure to see the ship and the guns, but
above all the men behind the guns."
Cheer President, Tken De-rrey.
When the President spoke of Admiral
Dewey, ho turned toward him and bowed.
The Admiral answered the bow. The men
cheered first the President and then the
Admiral. At the conclusion or the cere
monies the band played "The Star Span
gled Banner." The President asked tho
name and birthplace of each of the gun
pointers. They Included men from all
slates In the Union, California. Texas,
North Carolina, Maine. Indiana, Michl
gan, Minnesota and Washington, as well
as from Germany ana Ireland, Norway
and Sweden. The President was especially
struck with the large proportion of men
from the Mlddlo West. On the Olympla,
he again was requested to say a word to
the enlisted men. He said in substance:
"As President of the United States, I
wish on behalf of the entire country to
greet you as representative officers and
enlisted men of the American Navy,
Every man aboard the Olympla must feel
that on him rests a double duty to see
to it that the ship's name shall be for-
evermore a symbol of victory and glory
to all the people of our country. Nothing
pleased me more than to see
for myself today tho high stand
ard of the enlisted men of the
Navy. I do not believe our Navy has
ever been at a higher point of efficiency
Month by month, the already high stand
ard Is being raised even higher. All alike
share in the duty and share in tho honor
which comes of the duty well done.
"Whether the service Is rendered in
the conning tower, or in the gun tur
rets or In the engine-room, It matters
not so long as the sen-Ice itself is of the
highest possible kind. This ship com
memorates forever the name of Admiral
Dewey as the name of the Hartford com'
memorates that of Admiral Farragut.
And I ask you all. as Americans, proud
of your country, from the Admiral down
to the last enlisted landsmen or the
youngest apprentice, to appreciate alike
the high honor and heavy responsibility
of your positions."
At the conclusion, the men cheered the
President and then Admiral Dewey. When
the President went to the Yankee, where
he met the landsmen in training, he was
struck by the fact that the crew consist
ed of landsmen who had been only two
and a half months In service, many from
New York and Pennsylvania and New
England. He expressed himself as par
ticularly pleased with their fine bearing
and with the readiness they showed in
learning their duties, and he called atten
tion to the fact that upon tho way they
performed their duties depended the fu
ture efficiency of the United States Navy.
Twenty-Six Hundred Shots Fired.
As the President and his party arrived
and as they departed in turn the four flag
ships, the Kearsarge, Olympla. Yankee
and Texas, every one of the saluting
ships in the fleet tired a salute of 21 guns.
During the entire ceremonies of the day
2604 shots were fired, all from slx-pound-ers.
Upon the return of the President to tho
Mayflower after his call upon the flag
officers, the vessel got under way and
steamed eastward for several miles, com
ing to anchor then In order that the fleet
might then pass In rvlew. The vessels of
the fleet weighed anchor, and In single
column, headed by the Kearsarge. steamed
slowly past the Mayflower. The yards
and rails of every vessel were manned, the
marines were paraded and the bands
played "Hall Columbia."
President Roosevelt, with his distin
guished naval guests, reviewed the fleet
from the Mayflower's hridse. All were af
forded an admirable opportunity to view
the ships, as many of them passed within
100 yards of the Mayflower. The marines
on the Yankee wore campaign hats In
stead of the regulation helmets. Remark
ing upon this to Admiral Dewey, the
President said:
"How much better those marines look
In campaign hats than they do in their
peaked helmets. They ought to wear them
constantly." .
Pleasure Craft Barred.
Hundreds of pleasure craft of all de
scriptions hovered about the Mayflower
throughout the day. and during the final
review many of them persisted in running
between the fleet and the President's ship.
Fearing an accident the President ordered
that they should ba kept away. A steam
barge, therefore, performed that duty.
Commenting upon the action of some
pleasure boats, the President said it was
precisely as if one were reviewing a regi
ment with a mob between himself and the
troops, except that in this instance the oc
cupants of the boats were in the gravest
danger.
As a termination of the review. Lieuten
ant Chandler's squadron of destroyers
passed the Mayflower in Hying wedge for
mation. The vessels were so close to each
other that ordinary conversation between
any two of them was easy. Soon after
they had pasted the Chaunceys steering
gear became disabled ana she was forced
to drop out of line entirely. The vessels
were reforming" to pass the reviewing
ship as a flying wedge at full speed when
the accident already described occurred.
The Chicago, after passing in review hoist
ed her "homeward-bound" pennant and
steamed for New York. President Roose
velt and all of his guests were enthusiastic
over the appearance and action of the
fleet.
The North Atlantic fleet will proceed
directly to Penobscot Bay, where the
Summer maneuvers will be continued
about tho first of September.
At the conclusion of the review the
principal guests of the President, except
Admiral Dewey and Captain Brownson.
left the Mayflower. Secretary CJoody, Gen
eral Chaffee, Assistant Secretary Sanger
and General Barry went aboard the Dol
phin, while Sir Thomas LIpton and! the
other distinguished yachtsmen boarded the
Erin and the yacht Privateer. The May
flower returned to her anchorage in Oys
ter Bay, the President, Mrs. Roosevelt,
iMlss Alice Roosevelt, Admiral Dewey and
Captain Brownson leaving the ship at
5:25 to the thunder of a final Presidential
salute.

NEW YORK. Aug. 17. Rev. Dr. Rob

lynching and anarchy. In the course of
his sermon he said:
"A mob Is a wild oeast. A mob has no

In the place of Justice. It Is treason to
