LONDON , .Aug. 23Henry Labouchere ,
In Truth , says that a large standing army
would be nccoseary If the United States were
to embark on a spirited foreign policy of
annexation. '
"This army , " he declares , "would eoon
crush out democracy at home , ' and In the
end tome popular general would feel it his
duty to .save society by making himself such
a president as1 the constitution never con
templated.
"Tho old world. " ho continues , "In Its 1
dealings with the new , assumes an attitude
pf condescension AS ridiculous as It Is un
warranted. One of the salient features of
the late war was th manly , honest , gener
ous and chivalrous conduct ot the United
States government forces and people from
the beginning to the end of the campaign.
It Is only just to express the general feeling
of admiration which the new chivalry has
created throughout Europe. "

traction * for Ouloem' Condn'ct
in Muiter-Oat Proceii.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 23. Adjutant Gen
eral Corbln has Issued an order governing
the musterlnc out of volunteers. It goes
Into the duties of officers in detail. The
following are the moro important features of
the order :
Only officers of the resufnr 'artn 'wlll 'be1 '
detailed by the War department to muster i
out trooos. , ,1,1 , , v
To 'avoid expense to the government and
hardships end annoyances to individuals
concerned , by unavoidable delays that will
occur in the final payment of , officers and
enlisted men absent from their commands
on muster-out , commanding officers will
make every effort to effect the return of
all absentees and detachments - prior i to
muster-out' the organization. Officers
who nt any time were responsible for public
property of any description must obtain
certificates of non-Indebtedness before their
final payment can be made.
Officers who hare not at any time been

quired to furnish the mustering officer with
their affidavits to that effect.
AM officers will bo held to a strict ac
countability for the discipline of their com
mands and the preservation of public
property. Mustering officers are empowered
to prefer charges against officers who neg
lect in any manner to take the oroper
measures to insure the government against
loss of property or to keep their commands
together and under proper discipline.
The supply departments of the army will
continue to furnish organizations with need
ful supplies until date of final payment and
discharge. All persons borne on the mus
ter-In and on all other muster rolls and
all who have joined or belonged to Itie
organization at any time since Its muster-in
must bo accounted for on the muster-out
roll , which is required to bo a complete
record of all the officers and men who ever
belonged to the organization. '
Discharge certificates will be prepared for
every officer and man present and absent ,
except absent officers and men held ' in
service by proper authority and deserters.
The certificates will bo delivered to- the
regimental and company commanders.
The discharge from the United States
( Volunteer service in the case of all ab
sentees ( except in special cases ) will take
effect on the date of muster-out ot Ibe
organization. In tbe case of enlisted men
absent who , on account of sickness , are
unable to join their commands , the dB- |
, charge certificates , with carefully prepared
descriptive lists of account of pay anU
clothing , will be given to the mustering
officer for transmission with the muster-out
rolls to the adjutant general of the army ,
and the soldier will be officially notified
to apply by letter to the paymaster general
of tbe army for final payment.
Officers absent from any cause will bo
furnished discharge certificates ( unless spe
cially held to service ) end will be notified
to apply to the paymaster general for cer
tificates ot non-Indebtedness and settlement -
ment of their accounts.
As a rule , the muster-out of organizations
and their final payment will take place at
the state or regimental rendezvous , except
when otherwise ordered by the War depart
ment. The preparation and completion ! cf
the muster-out rolls , returns and papers ,
and the inspection and transfer ot public
property to the officers of tbe supply 'de
partments of the army , except as hereinafter
provided , will take place before the or
ganization Is ordered to Its state. The only
property that will be allowed to bo retained I
until muster-out , unless otherwise ordered
by the mustering officer , is the rifles ,
cartridge belts , cups , canteens , meat cans ,
knives , forks and spoons , necessary medical
supplies and tent equlppage , the colors and
the regimental and. company record * .
The supply departments concerned will

castle , the palace gardens and other Cuban
views were shown in rapid succession and
then the Maine waa seen Idly swinging at
anchor in the harbor. .Then a view of the
crow of the vessel was thrown on the canvas
while thti irialo chorus' sang "The Soldier's
Farewell. " The clock toils out 9 o'clock ,
the hour at which the fateful disaster oc
curred , audta few minutes after the explo
sion was graphically suggested by a suc
cession of bombs. The view was quickly
shifted to show the Maine at the moment
the explosion occurred and then a number
of views Illustrated the funeral of the vic
tims and finally -brought the audience to the
graves of the dead sailors. The next pic
ture showed Uncle Sam ready to avenge the
destruction of the battleship and the prin
cipal vessels of the Atlantic fleet quickly
passed in review over the canvas. ' Portraits
of Sampson , Dcwey , Hobson , Schley and
Generals Shatter andMiles were also dis
played , while the signal , "Remember the
Maine , " was floated from a small flag staff
on the band stand. ) Then the portraits of
famous American generals and statesmen
from Washington to' Grant Were displayed
and a handsome likeness of President Mc-
Klniey concluded the entertainment. At the
same time a large flag was flung out from
the top ot the band stand and the finale ,
'Star Spangled Banner , " was accompanied
by a brilliant display of fireworks. The en
thusiasm of the crowd was kept thoroughly
aroused during the entire performance and
the applause was continuous.
More Indians Comlnfr.
Thero'ls a probability" that before the end
of another week ho personnel ot the Indian
congress will bo nearly doubled , as the reports -
ports received indicate that many additional
Indians are about ! fe'ady to start for the
exposition.
Captain Mercer of th'e Indian congress
has received worp from'the Oklahoma coun
try that scventy-flv.e ot the "Sacs and Foxes
from that territory will leave their homes
for Omaha 'next Monday. These Indians
were originally a part of the Sacs and Foxes
of Iowa , but some scvcnty-flvo years ago
they broke away and went south , where they
have since resided. Slnco then they have
become plains Indians' and are much differ
ent In every respect from the Sacs and Foxes
who come from the vicinity of Tama City ,
la. . . / '
A band ot twenty-five Ktckapoos are erf-
pected from Ohlahoma next 'week , , together
with a party ot Pawnees. The latter are
great horsemen.-and. ' will display somevof
their ability in that line after they get here.
If the plans.do not fall , they will show what
a human being can do , in the way of fancy

Key'n PaintltiK on Exhibition ,
One of John R. Key's magnificent paint
ings of the main court is now on exhibition
at the Whltmore gallery on Dodge street.
This picture is similar to' the one whloh was
presented to' President McKlnley by Mana
ger Rosewater. It .represents a full view of
the. , court from the eastern Peristyle and
conveys a scarcely less accurate idea of the
spectacle than a view of the exposition itself.
Every detail of the architecture , the deco
rations -and landscapes Is perfectly repro
duced and the crowd seems almost alive , so
accurately has the artist caught the In
spiration of the moving panorama. In addi

expectations. The executive committee on
lost Friday estimated the attendance at
40,000 , but today careful estimates secured

urday 75,000 people have been brought to the
city. The. , attendance exceeds that at the
Grand Army of the Republic encampment
held here several years ago.
There are not so many members ot the
uniform rank as were expected , but the
members of the subordinate lodges arc here
in greater numbers than at any meeting
before. Officers at the union station have
commented on tbd fact that there , are about
four women and children to one man.
The most Important feature of today's
program was the big parade , participated
in by all the uniform rank and subordinate ,
lodges. Careful estimates place the number
of men in line at 18,000 , ot which 10,000crc
members of the Uniform rank , led by Major
Get era ! Carnahan. Governor Mount rode a
hurso in the parade. I The uniform rank

Great Turnout In Parade.
The weather was Intensely hot and sev
eral hundred , all told , were forced at dif
ferent times to leave the parade. The great
body ot men began to move from Camp
Colgrove at 2:30 : , "reaching the reviewing
stand at the court house on Washington
street at 3:50. : It required two hours for
the parade , about twenty men abreast , to
pass a given point
At the court house the Pythian army 'was
reviewed by Supreme Chancellor Colgrove.

' "I have been troubled for the past
two years with falling of the womb ,
leucorrhtca , pains over my body , sick
headaches , backache , nervousness nnd
weakness. I tried doctors and various
remedies without relief. After taking
two Lotties of your Vegetable Com

wonderful. I have .now taken several
more bottles of your famous medicine ,
and can say that I am entirely cured. "

chronlo inflammation of the womb ,
pain in abdomen and bearing-down
feeling. Waa very nervous at limes , nnd
EO weak I was hardly able to do any
thing. Was subject to headaches , also
troubled with leucorrhcea. After doc
toring for many months with different
physicians , nnd getting no relief , I had
given up all hope of being well
again when I read of the great good
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was doing. 1 decided Immedi

eimply past belief. After taking four
bottles of Vegetable Compound nnd

I can say I feel like a new woman. I
deem it my duty to announce the fact
to my fellow sufferers that Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies have
entirely cured me of all my pains and
suffering. I have her alone to thank
for my recovery , for which I am grate-
ful. May heaves blesa her for the

The supreme lodge In In poor financial
condition , having lets than $10,000 $ on hand ,
and this fact hna caused some ot the mem
ber * to severely criticise the present gu
prrmo officers and some of these chnrgcs
found their way Into the public press , caus
ing a great sciisntlnn. The supreme ledge
Into this afternoon appointed an Investigat
ing committee to ascertain nho furnished
the charges to the papers , and It Is the
Intention ' to expel the offending member , not
only from the supreme lodge , but from the
order , and them h talk of suits-ORalnst the
papers J that printed the charges. It Is this
condition ' of affairs that has caused a
determination on the part of the supreme
ledge to change the manner of raising
revenues for the supreme lodge. H Is the
Intention to have passed at the beginning
of each supreme lodge meeting , an ap
propriation bill , being similar to the bills
passed by various state legislatures , and to
ralso this money a tax v.111 bo levied on
each member of the order. There Is con
siderable opposition to this plait and a fight
Is anticipated.
The officers ot tlis supreme ledge will bo
elected Thursday , and a hard fight Is being
made against the present Incumbents , but
It is thought they will bo ro-olccted. except
that Charles E. Shlvcly of Richmond , Ind. ,
is leading for the position of vice chancellor.
