TO SEASON OF 1V0RK
Veterans at Saratoga En
campment of the Grand
Army Hear Reports.
One thousand dollars was appropri
ated by the city council yesterday to
enable Health Officer Font and the
health board to wage war on rats and
fleas to prevent the.. introduction of
bubonic plague In Portland.
Dr. Pohl palled the attention of the
board to the fact that 20 cases of the
dreaded disease had broken out In San
Francisco since - August 12, and that
heroic measures were being taken there
at great expense to ward off an epidemic.
Bhe fears that unless stringent precau
tionary measures are taken the malady
may De iniroaucea nere oy Ban ran-
sco and oriental vessels.
Secretary Yenney of the state board
of health addressed the board In favor
of exterminating the rats and cited the
council to the unsanitary condition
along the waterfront and In the railroad
terminal yards. He asserted that re
fuse should not be permitted to be
thrown in the terminal yards to be de
stroyed by yard nres or through evap
oration. Dr. Pohl told thecounctl that bubonic
nlasua had been In existence in oan
Francisco ever since the epidemic there
some six years ago, but had never had
a chance to come to the surface. She
antri that it had not been introduced
this time from an Asiatic port, but the
first case had developed in & sailor on
a local tugboat.
Not only did the council show a dis
position to aid In preventing the intro
duction of the disease, but Dr. Pohl was
?lven Individual ' assurance that more
unds would , be forthcoming to .fight
against bubonic or any other plague.

Saratoga, N. Y., Sept 12. This was
the day for business at the annual Q,
A. K. encampment and the meetings
of the auxiliary organisations. The
continuous round of pleasure that the
veterans and other visitors have en
joyed since their arrival in -Saratoaa
gave way to a season of work, and
before the close of ttie day the sreater
part of the routine business will be
disponed of.
In Convention hall at 10 o'clock this
morning the forty-first encampment of
the urand Army was caned to order Dy
the retiring commander-in-chief, K. H.
Brown of Ohio. The opening hour was
devoted to addresses by representatives
of the State of New York, the village
of Saratoga and the local veterans, with
appropriate responses by several of the
prominent visitors. As soon as the ex
change of greetings was over the en
campment went into executive session
to hear toe address or the commander-in-chief
and the annual reports of-- the
other officers. The report of the adjutant-general
showed that the vete
rans are rapidly passing away, the New
percentage of loss in the membership
during the past 12 months having been
greater than during any other similar
period since the organisation of the
Grand Army.
In the First M. e. cnurcn this morn
ing the Women's Relief corps began
its twenty-fifth national ' convention,
the sessions of which will continue
through tomqrrow. A large number of
resolutions are to be presented to the
convention and the session promises to
be of more than ordinary Interest. The
department of Illinois has prepared a
resolution -asking tne convention to
erect a monument to the memory of
Mrs. Elisabeth A. Turner in apprecia
tion of her efforts for the preserva
tion of Andersonvllls prison. The In
dorsement by - the convention of the
movement to Increase the. pensions of
widows of civil war veterans is sought
oy me department or uregon. ana the
department of New Hampshire asks
that Immediate steps ba taken to secure
some legislation by congress prohibit
ing the use of the American flag for
commercial purposes.
The ladles of the O. A. R. assembled
In convention In the First Baptist
church this morning and there were
business meetings also of the Daugh
ters of Veterans, the Naval Veterans'
association and the Association of
Union Ex-Prisoners of War. In addi
tion to the larger gatherings ths vet
erans met in corps, brigade and regi
mental reunions all over the town.
Though the business of the encanip
ment Is rapidly nearlng a close the en
tertalnment features will continue tllf
the end of the week. The campflres.
with .fireworks and other demonstra
tions, are to continue every night -dur
ing the rest or the week, elaborato
programs with music and recitations
being announced up to Saturday night.
But many of the veterans will' leave
Saratoga tomgrrow, many of those from
the south and west having arranged
for visits to New York city, Niagara
rails or other points Derore starting
on tne homeward trip.

Baltimore, Md., Sept. 13. Baltimore
today kept Its annual holiday In cele
bration of Old Defenders?, day. the an
niversary of the successful defense of
the city against the attack by the Brit
ish on September 12, 1814. 4 The .repulse
of .the. 99PQr British, troops was .due t:
the heroism of a little American garri
son under command of Major Armisted
and It was this incident that led Francis
Bcott Key to compose the "Star Span
gled Banner."
Ker had been sent to the British ad
miral under a flag of truce to request
the release of one. of his friends who
shortly before had been captured when
the British burned Washington. Tha
admiral promised to grant Key's re
quest, but detained him with the fleet
in Chesapeake for two days to prevent
his carrying ashore news of a proposed
attack on Fort McHenry at Baltimore.
The British admiral had declared that
he soon would eompel the Americans to .
haul down the flag within the fort. eo.
during the night of the 13th, while tha
bombardment was in progress. -"Key-watched
the flag anxiously , from the
deck of a British, warship, until the
bombardment ceased, sometime before
daylight With the first rays of dawn
he was straining his eyes to discover
whether the admiral's prediction had
come true. - When ne round mat tne
flag was "still there.", and that during
the night the Americans had repulse. t
the British both on land and water, his
oy found vent in some hastily sen fo
rt ed notes-on the back. of an old letter-
he had In hlsV pocket. He put .them
into verse whllex returning in the boat
to Baltimore, and a few days later the
verses were adapted to the air of an
English song. 'To-Anacreon in Heaven."

In writing to the Nebraska commis
sion the Oregon commission says;-
VOregon and Washington have abund
ance of fine timber of which the manu
factured products b&ve found a ready
market in your state, - where there is
a great demand for such products.
Should the proposed rate become ef
fective shipments of timber from points
In Oregon and Washington must large
ly cease unless the consumers are will
ing to accept an advance In price to
cover the advance In the rates, which
amounts to about 12.60 per thousand
feet."
Then follows statistics largely taken
from the ' petition presented Monday,
showing the disastrous effect which the
proposed rate would have on the lumber
Industry In the northwest As to the
ability of the roads to pay at present
rates the commission further says;
"The present rate . has been effective
nver 10 years and is proved remunera
tive by the fact that the earnings of
these roads have increased enormously
from year to year, and the fact that a
very large percentage or ( ne tonnage
handled Is made up of forest products

nearly 60 per cent" : i- 1 -.
The letter cjoses with a request that
