The seventeenth annual encampment of the commandery-ln-chlef , Sons of Veterans , U. S.

Darling of Boston , who Is In Porto Illco as the colonel ot the Sixth JlnssachiiEcttn volunteers. About 1GO duly occredltcd dclccatcs answered the roll call and participated In the very brief morning proceedings. The hall Is very handsomely decorated iwlth bunting and flags In honor of the con vention. The walls are very plentifully hung with the red , white and blue , whllo the stage was draped with a background Df the same tricolor. A etlll further patri otic coloring Is given to the gathering from the fact that a majority of the delegates xvcro uniformed In the military costume of the order. Chaplaln-ln-Chlcf Harry L. Veazey of Har- rlman , Tcnn. , Is absent and In his place Past Commander William G. Duatln was ap pointed. All the other officers except the commandcr-ln-chlof are present. In order to legally accept the position of acting com- ) nandcr-ln-chlct Vlco Commander Cogshall resigned his position as division commander of Michigan. On motion ot Past Commandcr-ln-Chlef [ Mibott of Illinois thrco cheers were given for Commandcr-ln-Chlef Darling. The only other business transacted by the convention consisted ot the appointment of the following two committees : Press , L. W. Friedman of Alabama and Tennessee , John Hcdmond of Kansas , F. P.

Just before adjournment the convention parsed a resolution that the official Journal containing an account of the proceedings ot tbo meeting should not Include reports ot the debates and ttpccches made In connec tion with any matters that como up. IlimliieiN Kefore 1'lenntire. Yesterday afternoon was to have been upent by the delegates In visiting the ex position grounds , but on account ot the wcl nml disagreeable weather It was decided to hold a business session and to select Bomo other afternoon during the encamp ment to make the visit. Consequently the delegates were called together again at S o'clock and remained In session during the remainder of the afternoon. The principal part of this session was spent In listening to the reports 'of officers , In the absence of Commnndor-ln-Chlef Dar ling the most Interesting report was thai ot Adjutant General Fred E. Belton , whc took occasion to review the work of tin administration. In the course ot the reporl bo , said i 'This ' encampment meets at a'most ausplc- " tnus tlmo. The nation Is rejoicing in th < deeds of devotion and heroic valor of hoi patriotic poldlers and sailors. Great vlc lories have been won and new honon nchtovcd for the republic.

Speaking of the present condition of th ( order the adjutant general referred to th ( Tact that shortly after the election of the commandor-ln-chlcf a year ago headquarter ! wore established In Boston and that then the routine business of the order has beer properly transacted. The report then to tem to a variety ot matters of a routine character which have been looked after ani n. suggestion Is made that the ritual shouli uo Improved so as to Inject lacking dra matic action and forro. Proceeding , thi report says : Our relations with the Grand Array ot th Republic have been of a most agreeable na turo. The commandor-tn-chlof has bee ! privileged to bccomo Intimately acqualntc with Commander-ln-Chlef J. P. S. Gobi ; ( and has been In company with that gallan soldier on n number of occasions , notably , visit with him to the city of Charleston where ho was shown many courtesies by th confederate soldiers and especial klndnesse nt the hands of Commander-in-chief Smyl ! of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans General Gobln has at all times been wlllln to advance the Interests ot our organtzatlo whenever and wherever the opportunity wa presented. Speaking ot the membership ot the orde the report states that the majority of dl Visions have labored hard toward an In crease , notably Pennsylvania , Now Yorl nnd Michigan. The headquarters got tnti r ) communication , as Intimate as possible with the various divisions and the resul Is that at the end of the quarter endlni March 31 of this year , thcro was a nc gain ot 3,009 members , a gain a trifle les than 10 per cent. This Is the first Urn in a number of years that gains were show Tor three successive quarters. The Jun quarter , however , which has been ordl narlly one of the best of the year , has bee less successful for the following reasons : First , the outbreak of the ) war with Spal called forth a great number of the most Ir terestcd camp workers ; It occupied tl minds of all members ; camp work and tl work of recruiting took the more proper fori of recruiting for the country.

' ans' regiments , for which volunteers were ready to respond when services were called tor. Secondly , to secure reports In tlmo for preparation for presentation to this encamp ment it was necessary to call upon the dt- vlrlon commanders to submit the same nt nr earlier date than on previous occasions. The number In good standing June 30 , 1SS7 , was 1,178 camps , 31,712 members , Juno 30 l&ig ! , 1,118 camps , 32,341 members. The ncl gain for the year was G'J9 members , lu ConMltutloii. Te future may bring many changes In the linen upon which we are nt present consti tuted. There nro many who think thai changes nre necessary and many brothers an of the opinion that we should become mort of a historical body , dropping our semi-mill' tnry characteristics. Legislation to this cf' feet will probably be presented nt no dlatan date , but whatever changes are made , U keep the membership at a point where | i properly belongs , will require , ns It has In thi past , the selection of competent camp oflV clals , for In the camps Is the strength of oui orders and upon them Individually rests thi responsibility for progress or retrogression. True ti < the teachings ot the order thi Sons of Veterans have played no Inconoplc uoua part In responding to the call for volun tcers In the war with Spain. At this time I Is Impossible to give the exact number Urn represents our organization , but It can bi safely estltnntc-d that there will be found i larger percentage of Sons of Veterans In thi service than any other organized body o : society. H would be unfair to attempt ti compare the divisions In this respi < ot , bu It Is to bo hoped that at an early date dati will ha * ) been secured from each cam ] showing the number of enlistments amoui the members. Three companies corapoBiii exclusively of Sons of Veterans are known Company L , Thirty-third Michigan , was litho the battle at Slboney July 1 and pcrformei gallant service. Michigan also raised an other company In the Thirty-fifth regimen nnd was ready for service. Minnesota fur ntshcd Company L of the Twelfth regiment composed of members of I'aul camp , No. 1 In response to the first call. This compnn ; has been encamped at Chlckamnuga sine that time. As has been stated heretofore all over the country the order was actlv < and had a third or fourth call been mad It Is probable that we should have beei honored with n regiment from the severa states , but while the opportunity was lack Ing thcio was a practical demonstration tha the Sons of Veterans ore wet thy ot their sire and the patriotic pr'nclplcs of the order hav been well exemplified in the loyalty of It members.

The remainder of the report was take up with a detailed account of the work th1 ; has been done In regular business at head quarters. Among other things It was men tloned that $5,452.52 was received durln the year from the per capita tax and $345.E In charter fees , the total of $3,798.02 beln turned over to the quartermaster general.

Frank Durston , Judge Advocnl General Edward K. Gould , 'Surgeon Ger oral Dan S. Gardner and Chaplain-in-Chli Harry L. Vcazy. A goodly portion ot a of these reports was devoted to commenl upon the attitude assumed by the order I the war with Spain and 'In commendatlo of these members who enlisted , particular ! ot these who fought at Slboney. Surpllin IN Still CirowliiR. Quartermaster General Loebcnstcln's n port showed that the finances ofthe ordi are In excellent condition.

Chaplali In-Chief Veazey made a recommendatlc that special services should bo held In con memoratlon of the Sons of Veterans wl fell In the Spanish war.

He saw the tow of Omaha as early as 1865 , nt the rime D Durant ! was having his rail's shipped be ; for the Union Pacific , bringing them up tl river from St. Joseph by steamboat. I had time last night to comment briefly ( the political situation In New York , as to lows : The republicans will capture the legl lature of New York If Roosevelt Is non Inated for governor ; If Roosevelt Is n nominated I do not think they will. I < not believe Mr. Platt Is taking any partlci lar Intercut In the contest between Rees veil nnd Black. The leaders of the dem cratlc party In my state are opposed to si vcr , and I do not believe there will be an thing said about silver In their platter save to smoothe It over In some way. t to business there has been a steady Improv mcnt In every line of Industry and trad Wo do not attribute thi prosperity to tl war , for the only thing benefited Cy t ! war has been the production of the mur it ite tlons of war , and the consumption of brea e stuffs and the other staples and necessltl of life would haw been Just as great If t : men mustered nito the army liad stay at home. The withdrawal ot men from t channels of Industry to carry on war d not have any perceptible effect on so gre a city as New York. The prosperity , In 11 opinion , has come about through the con dcnco the people have In the wisdom of t administration. Business has simply r siimed In view of the safe conservatism the administration's financial and corn me clal policies. 1'olltlen In Xeiv Jemey. Congressman Fowler Is serving his seco term In congress as the representative the Eighth district of his state. The not In&tlng convention of that district will Eomo time In October , and though Mr. Fo ler does not say BO , his friends think Is sure of a renomlnatton. Ho discussed Ni Jj Jersey politics somewhat , saying : For a democratic state which voted agalt Abraham Lincoln , and which had not elect a republican governor for thirty years un Grlggs , Mr. McKlnley's present attorn general , was elected In the last catnpalf New Jersey did pretty well for McKlnli It gave him 87,000 majority. We think will do OB well this year. The republlca 8 there feel very much gratified over the i suit of the war and the business condltlo are good , which IB always a presage of r publican success. Foster M. Voorhees , w has be-cn acting governor since Grlggs' a polntment , will get the nomination for go ernor and there Is not the slightest dou of his election. New Jersey Is one of t strongest gold standard states. Louis R. Ehrlcb , whose home Is at Col rado Springs , bad a word or two on Col ado politics , somewhat different from the lows brought hero by Chairman Towno ol ho silver republicans , particularly the affali it the killing ot a McKlnley republican nt Colorado Springs recently. Said he : The remarkable thing about the situation n Colorado Is the practical abandonment of Senator Teller by the so-called silver re publicans , Indicating that the silver antl- McKlnley republicans will be a pretty lonely sot In 1900. The culmination ot feeling which led to tbo murder ot a McKlnley cpubllcan In the Colorado Springs opcrs louse has a deeper significance than mosl people realize. To my mind the crack ol that rlflo means the approaching death ol the free silver craze , Just as the attack ot Lovejoy , however unrecognized at the mo ment , meant a culmination ot feeling whlct brought about the speedy abolition of slav < cry. Thcro can be no doubt but that then Is n weakening ot the free silver sontlmcnl In Colorado. The tremendous Increase o : the gold products of the state has , ot course contributed to this result , but , Imlcpemleu of this , the thinking men ot the state nr < gradually realizing that the gold standard whether for gcod or for 111 , Is a fact t ( which wo must all accommodate ourselves As soon as there Is sufficient moral couragi to lead men to speak out their views frccl ] and frankly the whole agitation , which hai been so disastrous to the Interests ot oui own state , will vanish. I'ml DiillolN oil Iilnlio. An Interested spectator of the debate ! and probably a participant will bo ex-Sen ator Fred DuBols of Idaho. He got In yes terday and soon found Mr. Towne's quar ters at the Paxton. Senator Frank Petti grew of South Dakota , being Indisposed , ha sent word that ho cannot come. "The republicans of Idaho , " sold Mr DuBols , "aro more honest than those o Utah. The Utah republicans declared li their platform for the Independent frc coinage of silver at 1C to 1 , but the repub llcana of Idaho came out flat-footed for th gold standard. In our state the democrat and the silver republicans have united 01 one ticket , but the populists have split am have two separate tickets In the Held. Th numerical strength , though , of the com blued democrats and silver republicans I much greater than that of the gold re publicans and populists all put together. " General A. J. Warner of Ohio , preslden of the American Bimetallic union , came I : last night and , weary with travel , lost n tlmo In finding his room at the Paxtot Ho explained that the American Blmetalll union Is not a separate party , being or ganlzed merely for the purposes of sllvc propaganda and that members of all par tics , with the exception of .tho gold standar republicans , belong to It.

Either they had no homo to wol' come them or they had been kept from fol. lowing tholr comrades by the drawing of tin lot , and In cither cnfo the desertion of tin post and the state of the weather made tin surroundings rather dismal. Another bur den was the return to camp discipline which has been entirely relaxed during thi j last week.
