Never was a war m desperately fought, never was a war fought with such sacrifice, and never a v .ir ended so gloriously. "When peace i when the two contending armies ! id fought It out for the principles they Tf.leved to be richt. the hands of brave rr.eii were etasped and they wore brothers i guin. and boucoforth and forever will be t ne Nation from ocean to ocean and from the Lakes to the Gulf."

R, General Stewart Recommends Pen sions for All Soldiers. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. The report of Commander-in-Chief Stewart, submit ted to the G. A. R. convention today, was received with great applause. In part, it -was as follows: "For the second time In its history the Grand Army of the Republic has jour neyed to the Pacific Slope to hold its an nual encampment. When we met In the City of San Francisco, 17 years ago. the eastern shores of the Pacific Ocean marked the western boundary of the re public. Since that time the foes of other clays, the men who wore the blue and gray in the greatest war known in all time, have marched together under the'! flag of a united country, and carried it I forward In the march of civilization and of progress. Today as surviving soldiers j of the war for the suppression of the Re bellion and the preservation and contin uance of the Union, we rejoice in the adr2d glory of the flag, and the greatness and the power of the Nation, all of which emphasizes the grand results of the war in which we bore a part, and the crown ing glory of which was the Inestimable blessings conferred on the human race. "The gains in membership the past year were by muster S1S3, transfer 3G03, reinstatement 11,672; the losses, by death S3G6, honorable discharge 730. transfer 2990, suspension 13,513, dishonorable dis charge 76, delinquent reports 5022; net loss 7215. "The observance of Memorial day was of a character to assure us that the heart of the people of the land Is still in sym pathy with the beautiful and impressive service. There ha-e been, as there always will be, some who will disregard the ob ligation that rests upon all the people to pay tribute to those whose valor secured them the blessings aacl the security which this and future generations will enjoy and share. We cannot but hall with de light the participation In the ceremonies of the school children of the land. Relief Corps Is Commended. "The Women's Relief Corps continues with unabated zeal the splendid work to which it Is devoted and for which It Is organized. The ladles of the Grand Army are none the less earnest and active in the work in which they are so lovingly and loyally engaged. The name Sons of Vet erans is full of meaning. They feel that theirs is a heritage of glory that they stand apart in a measure from the young men of their time. Bring the boys up nearer the post room, nearer the Grand Army, and they will form the new line of Union-loving, patriotic men. whoso flag and purpose and altar will be that of their fathers. "The responses to the general order re questing contributions to aid the com rades In the Southern departments In the work of celebrating Memorial day have been liberal. "The noble nnd laudable effort of the Grand Army of the Republic to place love of country and flag prominently before the youth of the land has been eminently successful, and has reached all parts of the republic and its dependencies. The tendency toward the enactment of laws directing patriotic education and rever ence for tho flag is encouraging and com mendable. "Contributions to a limited extent for the Home at Mountain Springs, Ala., have been received from every part of the country. "Major Falkncr, the vhalrman of the committee on ways and means, said to the Commander-in-Chief the fraternal feeling and the kind sentiments expressed by the different G. A. R. posts and tho In dividual members thereof throughout the North has touched and softened the hearts of every Confederate soldier in the South. Fnvors Pensions for AIL "The administration by the board of pensions of the pension laws, that for so many years had proven so vexatious and unsatisfactory, seems to have been ad justed to a degree of satisfaction. I be lieve the present commissioner is earn estly endeavoring to discharge the duties of his high and important office honestly, liberally and justly, and yet he is not able to satisfy the many who feel and assert that the Government has not dealt and Is not dealing Justly with them. The com plaints are not so numerous or so vigor ous as in the recent past, and yet they are sufficient to warrant our earnest and careful attention and consideration. Com plaint will never entirely cease, nor will cases of Injustice be entirely eliminated from the administration of such a great trust, but by an honest, fair and liberal administration of the laws we may reach the minimum of complaint and of injus tice. Is not the time at hand when wis dom and justice both warrant such nn adjustment of the pension laws as will meet the condition that exists by provld Ing for a fixed amount of pension per month? I believe it would be wise to ap- point a committee whose duty would be to frame a proper bill and present the same to Congress providing for a pension of not less than $12 per month .for all honorably discharged soldiers, sailors or marines who may choose to apply." The address was receii'ed with great applause, the sentiment expressed and the reference to the progress of tho aux iliary organizations meeting with much approval.

Ex-Governor Says He Was Xot in Conspiracy to Kill Goelicl. GEORGETOWN. Ky., Aug. 20. As evi dence in the case of Caleb Powers, his counsel this afternoon filed the deposition of ex-Governor W. S. Taylor, of Kentucky, now located at Indianapolis. The deposi tion contains a general denial by Taylor of tho charges preferred against him in the indictment returned In the Franklin Circuit Court of complicity In the murder of William Goebel; also a denial of ac knowledge of the complicity of any of the others Indicted for or charged with being In the alleged conspiracy to assassinate Goebel. He denies any participation In, or knowledge of, any attempt to intimidate the members of the Legislature of 1&00. or to force them to do aught than Just and right in the settlement of the contest for the Governorship. He denies he had any of the Incriminating conversations alleged to have been had with him by several com monwealth witnesses. The deponent denies that the bringing of ! the armed body of men from the moun- i tains on January 25, 1S00, was for otuer purposes than peacefully to petition the Legislature. He declared that, so far as he knew, they were orderly and well be haved, and they returned home the night ot the day of their arrival, for the sole reason that they had accomplished their one purpose to assemble on the steps of the State Capitol and petition the Legisla ture not to rob the men they had voted for as the nominees of the Republican party. The denonent takes on himself the re sponsibility for their coming, saying it . was orielnally his purpose to have about 1000 men visit Frankfort each day for the last few days the contest was pending, not to Intimidate the Legislators, but to show them the extent of the feeling out in the state In the matter. He declares Caleb Powers to be innocent, so far as he knows, of any complicity In the murder of Goebel. and says it was for that reason he gave him a pardon. HELD FOR TRAIXROBBERY.
