Yesterday the celebration of Indian day brought out the biggest crowd that has been DII the grounds Sincu July 4. The firat great congress of Indian tribes that. has ever been organized was Inaugurated with ceremonies aipropriately illustratIve of this ziovel idea. It 'aa in many respects the most Interesting - ing event that has occurred in connection with the exposition and it was made the umore notable by the possibility that it was the last time such a spectacle woulU be imsslble. Nearly thirty distinct tribes were represented iii the aboriginal pageant , the last remnants of the savagery that Imus almost - most disappeared before tbo advance of a more progressive peolie. To somne of the old- timers in the crowd the spectacle Inspired memories of pioneer days , but to time bulk of time imeople it vns a revelatIon of time up- ( rearanco and customs of an almost. forgotten race. Asimlo from its sIectucuiar ) attraction tJ i was an object lessoim that convvyed a mmmore vivid impression of aboriginal life than could be acquired iii ycavs of ethnological research. That the people fmmlIy alpreciatcd time iimm- portance of time cvent was evident in time crush of visitors timat imot only throngel thu route of the parade , but populated every corner of the grounds.

CIJICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PAItK , thg , 4.-The nmakimmg tip of the force to go with Major General Wade to Porte Itico has served to show how very amixious time volunteers - teers at Cumuli Thoumlas are to go to time front. Time list. of regiments desIgnated had hamdiy received circulation In the camp at this place until hundreds of volunteers not in- eluded in time regIments to go had mmmdc aim- plication to be transferred from their own regiments to those scimeduled to proceed to time front. There are hosts of soldiers here who , while they are attached to the regi- tnents with which they were mustered , would gladly join any regiment in order to get to time Iront , 'iimms is accouncu mar mit the main upon the high ground of American valor , whIch has mnanifested itself conspicuously - ously in the army of volunteers. They are not willing to return home to 1)0 rlubbed ' 'timm soldiers. " and there are few , if any , vlmo will not be sadly disappointed it the war does imot afford new opportunities by which they will be called to tb battle. Titus far none of the regiments at Camp Thomas designated as a part of General \Vado's expeditionary forces have been ordered - dered to the front , although such orders imavo been expected hourly. Tile only order of this nature recetved from Washington today - day was one directing the sIgnal corpm. unicr Colonel Squire to proceed to Newport News , where it will report to General Wade. The corps will leave for its destination Saturday - day morning. To all appearances unpleasant relatIons appear to exist between Governor Stephens of Missouri amid erta'iff ccithnmissioned clii- ccrs of the First Missouri infantry of St. Louis. It will be remembered that Governor Stephens appointed battalion adjutants to serve In this regiment over those who were mustered in with the regiment and who were serving in their respective positions at the time the governor made his appoint. ments. Time governor's appointees came to Chickamauga and knocked for admission into the First Missouri. Lieutenant Colonel Cavender. comniammdlimg the regiment , do- dined to recognize Governor Stephens' appointees - pointees , claiming that the positions of ad- jtmtnnts of the battalions vere already Ic- gaily filled , in accordance with time United States army regulations. This matter was carried to time War department for settle- mncnt with the result that the governor's appointees were turned down , Now , whea it conmes to issuing commissions - sions to the officers of the First Misspuri , it appears that the governor cannot see it as proper that all the officers should have conmmnisslons. Time conmmissions arrived to- duy and time list was conspicuous for its brevity , there beimmg no commission for either Colonel llaldorf. Lieutemmant Colonel Cavendar nor Adjutant Webster , 'l'hese oilicems had a laugh over what timoy deem to be the governot's attitude in this matter. They vili expect to be sustained by time War departnment. The issue has been raised as to whether crnmy officers have a right to order a search of a private residence for a soldier , who is absent from imis comnmammtl without leave. Au instance of the kind has occurred in Chattanooga - nooga , Lteutemmant Coionei Mlmnis , corn- manding the First Vermont. having sent a detail of ten men under a lletmtencnt to search a private reaidcuce for Private Gar- retson. vimn was reported mis being shielded in time residemmen referred to anti detyimmg ar- rest.
