to support Gladstone' * ) conclusions. Ho said
that tlicru was little doubt tlmt the time liad
arrived for a full Inquiry Inio Hie agrarian
question In Ireland , and the government
was nbont to Institute such Inquiry.
Yet pending this Investigation Glad
stone was prepared to take action on
Parnell's bill In a way which only last
August he ( Gladstone ) argued would be un

been divided all day Into two hostllo camps
of contending forces that outnumber the po

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

reciting them ac length , arrived at the follow

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

Chesney was in consultation with Sheriff
HandieU this morning with n view to estab
lishing a permanent quarantine on the . " ,000
head of cattle iu the Chicago distilleries and
on Harvey's farm. 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.
Late last night n niessaze trom the health
board was received at the Kast Chicago Ave
line station , demanding police survelllanco
IK ) placed ut once upon the Schubert and
Pmi'iiix distilleries on the.Voith Branch , and
prevent the movement of eattlo therefrom.
Captain fc'clwack was a trlllo staggered at the
demand and nt once communicated with
Chief P.lM-n > oll. 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. Commissioner McChesney savs
thu city Is full of Klandcrod horses , und tlmt
over efulity have been slaughtered this sear.
Knergetlc efforts will at once be made bj the
commissioner to stamp out the disease It

and municipal buildln-'s were lilddeu with
their decorations of tla s tK'inn. ; nnpropri-
ate ii criptioiis emblems and mottoes and

and connected with each other by garlands of
woven pvenrieons. Kacli polo beai u shield
upon which Is painted the grand seal of some
M.ite ortenitory. 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. M. , v\ho v\as too 111 to leave his room at
tlio hotel. 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. A similar dechion was londerc'l In
the case ( it Charlotte ( Mich. I coniinniul > 'ry ,
which was chartered without the consent of
Lansing. N'o. 31 , the nearest coiniimndcry.
Tlie a-ting giauu master also holds
that the ctimm.indery has the rl-'ht lc receive
uinl act upon tlie report of the committee to
wliic'a had been referred tlte question of tlio
formation of a now commaudcrv , after Us
dispensation had been returned , and until
the guiud encampment Im I decided to grant
or lefiisp its chatter.
! _ 'poll ' tlio question of then-vision of the
rituaItucacting crand master suy.s : A copy
of the lepoit of the committee on ritual lias
been furuHied me. While it w.mld bo man
ifestly Improper to indulge In nny detailed
criticism in this place , I am free testate
state my surprise that It should be
'In ' most respects not altered nt
all. The mere chiinze of words without any
change in the Intcut and meaning of phrase ,
1 do not consider ot siilllclent impiiitance to
anest the adoption of tlie .standard form and
the lemoval of this question from debate ,
and I trust that you will devote your time
only to such matters In regard to which an
honest difference of opinion may exist.
The acting grand master recommends that
mattci.s state and local be lett to tlio grand
commaiidi'ries and not to the grand encamp
ment. Tills 13 the point of conflict between
the members of tlio latter body , and if they
shall decide it , Um grand master predicts that
Its present session will be OIIH of the most
Important in the history of American Temp-
