The inspector general after detailing the condition of the order says in conclusion: "Our comrades in the stronger and more prosperous department should not be forgetful of the necessities of those in tho weaker and les favored territories, and should assist and en-courage them in good work whenever opportunity offers." Tho report of the "judge advocate general derives its chief interest trom his decision on the vexed race question. As his conclusions differ from the the recommendations of the commander-in-chief- , the dispute is only further complicated.

OEEATES A DECIDED SES3ATI0N, Other Points from His Annual AW re 31 One Dspartment Oranizsd During tho Ys&r , that of Indian Territory. Drrnorr, Aup;. 5. The twenth-fift- h annual eucaiupment of the G. A. K. met in formal session this morning. All that art and cultured tasto could do to make the mammoth building attrac-tive bad been exerted in the decora-tions which adorned the interior. De-spite its immensity, the hall was crowded to its utmost. A few minutes before tho opening General Vcnsey and staff entered the lull and were escorted to the grand stand. The appearance of the comma-nder- in-chief was the signal for ap-plause. Happing the assemblage to order, he announced the formal open-ing of tho encampment and directed the adjutant-genera- l to call the roll of tho departments. Every state and ter-ritory in the union was represented and tho roll-cal- l showed the fullest attend-ance of delegates in the history of tho organization. The opening address of the command-er in chief was listened to in rapt at-tention. "Comrades." said Geueral Veascy, "this is the silver anniversary of a birth, not of a wedding. The wed-ding occurred when the bridegroom, tho youth of the land, enlisted in its de-fense. Abraham Lincoln celebrated the marriage nuptials. Columbia was the bride. Iter venture was the na-tion's ilag and we were pledged to re-establish that flag over the domain of secession." "Secessia was 'the price of her band. When the pledge was grandly redeemed through the bloody strike, through suf-fering and death, and after victories had placed on the brow of the bride a new diadem whose gems were honor, valor, fame and liberty, unstained with slavery, a country united and free. The fruit of that marriage was the Grand Army of the Republic, an offspring worthy of its royal parentage." lieference was then made by the General to the increasing esteem in which the G.A.tt.wa held by the people generally and the comrades In panic ular. Touching allusions were made to tho numerous deaths in the order during the past rear, special mention beiiw made of Sherman and l'ortor. A tribute was paid to those present and the prospective usefulluesa of the Sons of Veteran organizations, which is in membership vearlv. The question proposed is whether there can lawfully be two departments covering the same territory at tho same time. For instance, a department made up of white posts and auother of black posts, or foreign born and another of native born. I think the question must be answered iu tho negative. The idea is contrary to the usages and universal understanding of that ortler hitherto. If an additional de-partment ia the states may be formed on the ti eh of color or birth, they msy be on the lines of persoual antipathies or upon disagreements of any kind, Hut without diverting further to the obvious evils likely to follow irouo the establishing of rival departments, in auv state, it is enough that it is clear the rules and regulation do not provide for or warrant the establishment of but ons department in any state or territory. The report of the surgeon-genera- l was chiellv interesting in the statement it. contaius from Pension Commissioner Raum that the amount of SI 10,000,000 will be expended for pension during the fiscal year. During the forenoon session of the encampment Commander - in - Chief Veay was presented with two gaveis. The tirst was an ivory one from Com-rade Clarkson of Nebraska and the other a wooden one from wood of the llagstalf that surmounted the fort at Detroit 130 vears ago. The commander-in-chie- f then ap-pointed a committee on resolutions Among those appointed are the follow-ing comrades: Judson Spafford, of Idaho; V. H. Tuttlo, of Arizona; W. H. L. Barnes, of California; A. O. Simmons, of Montana; I'hilip TSoi'therill, of New Mexico; H. G. allace of Utah; S. G. Coegrovt of Washington and Alaska. The negro question was referred to a si'-ei- ro3"njit?e''iisLfc ; Tferriirof Blasfachusetts, Henderson of Pennsylvania, Conger of Ohio, Linahan New Hampshire and Atkins, Oaio. Tho ladies of the G.A.li. received a quasi recognition by the appointment of a committee to return their greeting The ninth national convention of tho Woman's Relief Corps opened in this city this morning. The rapid growth of this auxiliary order is manifested by a large atten-dance as well as the reports of tho var-ious officers. , Iirtwtwttrr,ei'a as affecting the G.A.R.', General Veasey reviewed the difficulties which had ex-isted over the colored posts in the de-partments of Louisiana and Mississippi ever since they organized in 1809. :, ho said the charge had been made from different sources that ths organization of these posts was tainted with irregularities, utterly destructive of their legal existence. Our rules and regulations", he said, provide a plain procedure for the department to pursue iu order to test the validity of the charges. As the department of Louisiana ami Mississippi, has never, so far as I am informed, rosorted to that procedure, I huve held in dealing with those posts that they must be regarded as having leal exislet.ee until otnorwise regu-larly adjudicated. The commander-in-chie- f ordered an investigation by the iri.speetor-geuora- l into the affairs "of this department. The rccnmmt.ndation of the inspector-gen-en-was thai this encampment author-ize the creation of a separate depart-ment covering the same territory as the several existing departments iu tho south. This is supported bv memoricls addressed to the commander-in-chie- f by six posts in the department whose membership is composed of colored comrades. In regard to this, he said: "From the various sources of inform-ation accessibly to nie, 1 believe a large majority of both white and col-ored comrades in tho department of Louisiana and Mississippi are strong in the convention that it would be for the best interests of all to have a sepa-rate department in Louisiana and some of the other gull states, made up of such postB as may apply to rome into it. And having concurrent jurisdiction with the departments already estab-lished iu such states." "1 have no policy to urge other than such as will be for ths best interests of the order ami at the same time protect tiie rights of ail comrades." During the year now closing the G. A. it. paid out from its relief fund $3ii4,-00- During the same period the Woman's Relief Corps paid to dis-tressed comrades $153,000. Kef erring to tha Mt. McGregor cot-tage, where General Grant died, Gen-eral Veasey recommended that the en-campment take action to secure from the government an appropriation for the maintenance of the property and its preservation in the same condition it was at time of the demise of General Grant. Failing to secure tha appro-priation by congress ho suggested a trust fund be established or that the maintenance of the cottage be insured by charging a feo to visitors. Tho question of creating a memorial hall at Decatur, Ills., the birth place of the G. A. K., was brought up in the way of a recommendatiou that this encamp-ment take action to aid tho project. in regard to tho disability pension bill passed by the last congress General Veasey said: Tf it is not the wisest, it is certainly a liberal measure. The labors of the G. A. K. pension commit-tee was also reviewed. The commander-in- -chief urged' tho encampment to renew its efforts so procure an amend-ment to the revised statutes which give preference to tho appointments to civil office in the case of union veterans. The only department chartered the past year was that of Indian Territory. The commander in chief closed his ad-- : .dress with a rcferenco to the observ-ance of Memorial day and the high 'principles which actuate the G.A.H. The declaration of the commander in chief in favor of the establishment of departments of the G.A.H. for negro re'terans created a decided sensation. . rr-- , --r,T-rr- ,i the Knights and poLiticly Tney Jutea Tralu - hnMi jmI f--r VlMtmarr rJi.,ts)a.,.i 'Laksi- - tilch., Aug- - 6 -- The ten-- t il tta of he Jvii(l 1 of --abof ' Qne i jIc' Importtuce "wiis th otlor pa 'if at, c U13R Kttt by lie W tl r9f i trewurer oi f ; aelf y which t,li t an, 1 It tl i i o't(d t '.''" ..'pen-e- ut 4'j r;':"- y.K't 'v-- to-- w ii t r ' 'n.t ) J)f sssemWy Q t : ).fl' ,tty pJut tat, i ..iune "pre M led JUis. . ably ftnUy dvH'td --ainU th nutinn of ftll ifciu-- 1 ),..u,onDw.l or onvnUons Uuu-iv- e inatiftuatid work" ioofciojj Wcojsolis dali'io-o- f Ail intlusinsl people, af the ballot bov trusnnp : mat ' iuis irraat 'raovonaent of Jtulusittal eousoildnion pjy,Du!uiiaav it) tha full emanpipngon ot the masses from Industrial sinter.

Aa Ioiportaat Ilorlnlon en the Gonitme-tlo- n of the Weet Clause. New York, Aug. 5. Tho board of general appraisers yesterday rendered an important decision on the construc-tion of paragraph 18:i of the new tariff act, which recently became the subject of controversy between the woolgrow-er- s of Ohio and tho carpet manufactur-ers of New Knglaud. The opiuion is that the "sorting classes" referred to in paragraph 183 applies to all wools, includ;ng wool of the third class. Sort-- ' ing is here in effect deliued by statute ta be the process of separation, which increases in value the imported wool by the rejection of a part of the orig-inal fleece. The phrase "shall be twice the duty for which it (wool or hair) would be otherwise subjected" means that the duty on sorted wools (when separated otherwise than as to color and increased in value) shall bo twice tho duty te which the lleeco in the condition shall be liable. In "sorting" or manipulation of wools raado with the intent to evade lawful duties is Iraud on the law snd subjtcts the merchandise to the penal duties imposed. The board reverses the col-lector's decision in both of the cases under consideration. CANADA WILL CIVE THEM BACK. The Ilomlaine GoTrrtianrnt Decides to Sarreadar the JTUhlug &huoner. Ottawa, Aug. 5.

MURDER NEAR PRICE. An Aged Man Killed and ttnrisd ia a f hal-low Grave Mer ilis Home. Price, Utah, Aug. 5. A murder com-mitted live miles Irom this place, about two weeks ago, has just come to light.
