BUM-AST , Sept. 21. f New York Herald Cable Social to tha IJr.K. ] Tlie city has been divided all day Into two hostllo camps of contending forces that outnumber the po lice and the military. In American parlance. there is "lighting all along the line. " Cor dons of the military hold all the prominent and Intersecting squares. Iraoons eseoited a Catholic funeral this afternoon when Father Magee bogged for a peaceful Qri'turn. Tills was not heeded , for even the guarded mourners at one point stoned the military barracks in passing. The spect itors , following this lead , were chanrod with lixod bayonets by the lilackVatcli and Stirtey soldiers. Never theless , the stoners boldly Hung missiles as theyrtin. In the midst of thjs , in Alfred street , women tiom the windows and curbs encouraged the iloters and fairly bhriek > > d abuse at the constables and military. At last , when around St. Peter's chapel and In Mllfonl street especially , the mob was driven to cover , iiisslles came from the roofs and windows , airing which Colonel Longhboum was badly -rotind"d.

[ New York Herald Cable Special to the BKK. | Stambuloir most cm- phalicallv denies the truth of the assertion that In an after dinner speech lie had hinted at a conquest of Saionica in Macedonia. Austria has followed the precedent of Ger many and Russia relative to the suspension of proceedings against the conspirators.

Germany Is awaiting the arrival of General Kaulbars , whosn presence at Sotia Is expected within a week. The resents have signed a ukase , fixing the elections of the grand assembly for October 10. The regents will arrange with General Kaulbars on his arrival when the assembly shall meet. The nicotine \vil probably take place shortly. Tlic Situation Simplifying : . Dr.ni.ix , Sept. 22 , 4 a. m. [ New York Herald Cable Special to the HKK. ] The corespondent of the London Times , in a long dispatch tills morning , claiming that his views are obtained from olllclal circles , and reciting them ac length , arrived at the follow ing conclusion : It Is plain , at least , that the situation In the east has giown much more simple and less alarming , and that , above all things , Germany must not now be accused of being an obsequious niid unconditional sup- poiter of Itussla , which her unexplained action at first led the people to belluvo she had become.

I'lio sheriff Informed tlie commissioner that ho would aid as far as pos sible with his present force , but that ho would not employ any extra men until authorized to do so by the county board. Commissioner McChesney feels somewhat discouraged with the work before him. The state only pro vided 510,000for , the use of the livestock cominlslonerfortwoycirs , aiid only SJ.OOO of that amount now remains. The United States veterinarian , Mr. Solomon , Is on the way from Wushlngton to Chicago. Ho is au exert In stock diseases , and Ids advice has been sought In this important mat ter. The authoilties , Including Case- well and Ills assistants , | Dr. Do Wolf and Commissioner McChesnoy , have been at the Shufeldt distillery sheds all day , where a thorough examination is being made. Some sick cows have already been found , but they will defer thoslatisrlder ot them until the arrival of the United States vetcilnnrhiii. Commissioner DeWolf said to-day : "This plcuro-pncuinonla tliieatens the stock and agricultural Inteiest.s of the whole countiy. The thing Is cooped now and It should bo kept ht-ie and the coops burned If necessary. It now looks as If it would bo Snecessaiy to slaughter all the caitle at the distilleries In Chicago , and that , too , under the immediate MII > CI vision of tliii btato veterinarian and his ex | > crt assistants. Such animals as are found untainted with the disease could bo disposed of for beef and those touched In the slightest degieo sold at once to the rendering estab lishments.

A toplv giving the captain discretion in the premises was received al most immediately , A study of the situation convinced Captain Schauck that the police liad no light to Interfeie , ana ho refused to detail the guard demanded by the health department unless they covered the quarantined ground with their deputies. He didn't wish to render himself liable for damages , which might bo claimed for the detention of ( lie stock. Commissioner McChesney and State Veterinarian Casvvell have discovered a case of glanders In n horse. Them were unmistakable symptoms of the fatal disease. The owners were or dered to kill the horse at once , and the barn In which It was kept will bo thoroughly dis- enfected.

Tlie fiout of the business and municipal buildln-'s were lilddeu with their decorations of tla s tK'inn. ; nnpropri- ate ii criptioiis emblems and mottoes and \aiioiis cnliired bunting draped in graeefu 1 and fantastic manners.

Iti-hlnd the shields and falllim I nun tlie top of tlie poles to the ground are long craceful tri-eol.iretl pennants. At each entrance to the building stands two im mense pyramidal pillais ot ever.'iccns crowned with Masonic emblems. Directly over each entrauc- are semi-circular sun bursts constructed of evergreens , Hags and buntiiu' . Tlie building nrcsentcd a brilliant appearance , All business houses were tastefully dimmed. Washington avenue and Olive stieet were cay witli llutturini : bunting. Pine , Clu-itmit and Market streets had their share of Hags , while less popular tho/ou h- farcs had Hags on eveiy window which gave tlie streets n gala appearance. Flags and pennants were so thick on some stieets that vlt-wintr them in porsiective | overv breeze seemed to set tlie walls in motion. 'Immedi ately in front of tlie main entrance to the ex position tjullilinir , a reviewing stand had b"eii erected , and it , too , was elaborately decorated. The stand was about fifty feet square nnd was envoied with a canopy of iM-.ivas , from the center of which Honied n larse Unite I Stit'- ' . 11 u , ' . Entirely around it had been placed national llairs and Kniclst Templar emblems , while from its corners depended stieamers of many colored bunt- 11IU' . When the Knlchts Templars awoke this morning the clear skv ot last , cveninir liad become overcast with clouds and a damp , northeast wind was blowing at considerable velocity. At 8 o'colek a steady rain set in. As early as 5:00 n. in. squads , companies and ciinimamlfiies , many of them accompanied by bauds of music , could have- been seen hurriedly inarclilnc to. tlu-ir re.ndezvous. Those who started thither early in ihc morn- Ini : were more loitunate than their br-itheia wlio at HiO ; : were strolling to the apuolntcd places with ( Irooiiiiir plumes and dripping uniforms. Earlv tliis nidi nine tiaius weie all on time and depos ited many e unmamlerlcs who had come to tut- conclave tiou : points near St. Louis , nnd they pioctvded i.iiuicdiatcly to tlieir positions. At half past eight tins nrst cun iliiectiiu cnmmaiulcrie ? to form was tired , and tlio side streets leading into nnin thorough- inivs wcie alive with knights wno weie to pnitioipntc In tlio par.ule , hurrying to their positions and soon after wards were all reauy to oln tiieir divisious. As time | ) a < sed on the rain tell heavier and heavier , until tinstrecls liad become sopping v\et. At 'J o'clock the prospects for a clearing up wuc not nt all bright. A few minutes Intel J. It. Pair-ous. cumninndur-in-chlef of thiicomiiianderies , issii'-d an order abandon ing tlio lurade. which order was cnmmunl- catoil to tiio faithful kiiiglits who had been standing in tlic lain ready to match , and theiebv broke ranls , gieatly disappointed at not being able to parade , out weio willing to get In out of the wtt. - Said Comiiiaii-U'r-In-Chlef Parsons : ' 'The disappointment is itieater than I can ex- piess. The airansciiu'iits were perfect to the minutest details , \Vu Had impicssed Into our service for tlio occasion tlie very best military talent in this section , and were as- suiedof somethini : over'.20,000 men being in line at the strike of the apiiointed hour , and liad tlie state of the weather permitted the iiai.ule would have been the finest ever known. As it was , however , nothing was left but to abandon it and thus cut out one of tno most prominent public features of the conclave. " Ninety local coinmanderlcs only were held at tlieir headquarters to form an cscoit to the grand encampment in case the weather would allow even that small display. To tens of thousands of spectators who had begun to ciovvd the streets along the proposed loute of the pioccsslon thodNappointmcnt wasnlmost as griMt as to the Kniirhts themselves. The decorations were drabbled and torn , wfiilo the heavy wind which accompanied the rain toro many fiom their bcaiings , and by 10 o'clock tlio spectacle was anything but beau tiful and enliveuinir. In uvt-ry quaiter stores doorways and eveiy place otl'erine tlie slightest shelter from the dilving wind and rain weio cio\\dcd with wet , bi-draggk-d and thoroughly disgusted men , women and childicn. The hotel lobbies nnd various licadriuailers were tlnongcd with Knights and their friends , bitterly bewailing the misfortune of tlio morning. Xot only was the abandonment of the parade made ncccs- siry , but the continuance of tlie storm icn- dend a repetition of frlumllv calls with which yesterday was occupied impossible. Numerous reviewing btands erected alonj tlio route of tlio moposed piocesslon , which early began to fill with sight-beers , presi > nted a deserted and lonesome appearance , and speculators who had pounted on handsome lelurns on their Investment * in constructing them , as they suw the prospective profits van ish , voiced their disappointment in accents stionger than those emplou-d by the knights. The only people benefited by the storm weie the keepeis of down-town ii'sorts , whoso places rapidly tilled with those who could tiiiil no other way of passing time , and the bticct car and other transfer people whoso services werolngicat demand. At the time set for the departure of mem bers of the grand encampment from tlioir renderous for Kncatupment hall , It was deemed inadvisable to furnish any escoit , and the local coinmanderles which bad been held in le.ullness to act in that capacity , were permitted to disperse , and the managers of the encampment were taken to the hall in carriages. The grand encampment bejan Its session at 1S : ! , presided over by Chailcs Itoomeof Now York city , H. K. 1) . (5. ( M.in the absence of Robert Enoch \ \ ithcrs , M. K. G.

In opening the public meeting Mayor Francis delivered an a-ldres of wel come on behalf of tlio city , which was icplled toby Deputy GiandMaster Koome. On behalf oftlinMUsouri grand cotninandery an ad dress of welcome was prenented by Joseph S. Urowne , grand commander , and also re sponded to by Depntv Grand Master Koome. On tlie conclusion of these preliminaries at 1 o'clock the encampment went Into secret session to listen to addresses and reports of officers. In tlio executive session the first business was the readliit'of the report of Grand Mas ter Withers. The report only covered that period from his appointment InlS to June 1 , Ito5 , at which tuna his acceptance or the consul generalship to Hong HOIIK necessi tated the delegation ot tlio powers of the grand master to V. E. Charles Itooine , deputy grand master. After reciting routine pro- ceedings. reference is made , under the dis cussion of foieign relations , to questions at Issue with tno great priory ot Canada , which was finally referred to n special committfco appointed to-day. The report states that Joseph II. Drummond lias prepared a < liest ! of tlie decisions of tlie L-ran a master as approved and modified by the grand encampment , und the decisions of thogiand encampment In Ito3 and Ito4 , thirteen commandcries were constituted , cJiletly In tlie northwestern states and terri tories , Dakota coming In for the largest share. The country is congratulated on the of tlie Washington wouuiueut , while the fact Is deplored fiat o few contri butions have been received for the monument to Onrileld , Tha grand master recom mends the substitution of the pa t grand master lor the deputy grand mister on tlie printing committee , and the employment f a private secretary for the grandmaster. He also recommends that the bonds of the crand tieasurcr nnd grand recorder bo reduced to tlie amount of 510,000 each. The report clones \vitli gc'ioral felicitations ontho projicis of the order. Following the report of Grnim Master Wither * , General Uuotnc , of New York , dei- ; titv and acting grand masicr , submitted a re- poit of ills .stewardship extending from May U , Iss- . up to the present time. Hfforo pioeeedln ? to the details of his re- poit. General Iloome noted the cli-ntn of twenty four inembcia of the crand encampment since their last meeting nnd the Institution of eleven now commandcries. The report then proceeds to discuss the Cauida question mentioned in Grand Master Withers' leport. and Insists upon It that the Scntcli cneimpmcnt ante dates HIP .sovereign gre.it priory , and ttiat they are , theretorc , not b'iniiil lo be govcriuil bv ft. lie ivconitneiiiH that the piescnt on- cauipment make no elfoit to try to bring about a - eltlemcnt of that question , The deputy grand n.aster reports the fol lowing decisions made by him duriu : his term of olllce : On appeal a body cannot as sume original Jurisdiction. In the c.t'eof Anderson dud. ) cominaiulery , chartered by the grandcommandery. against the protest f Miiiiclocommandery. the acting master holds that on appeal the actmn of the ernnd cotn- mnnilny may be presented and that the latter should cause conclaves of the new coiinu.itul- cry pending tlio action of the grand eucamt > - mi'iit.

The revenues of the grand encamp ment have been steadily increasiii' ' , as have also the members of the .subordinate com- manderles. From Ibng experience and ob servation , and'from a close analysis of tlie sources of income , the treasurer ventures the prediction tlmt the Income of the grand en campment will be sullicient to meet all ex penses and leave besides a liberal'margin of increase. Piovions to the reading of reports , the reading of tlie minutes of the last mcctliu was dispensed with and a reso lution was adopted permitting knights to at tend the meetings of the encampment even when not In full uniform , as required by the rules.
