Adjournment was taken until I o'clock

was enthusiastically received, follows:
Members of the Army of the Philippines:
The National Society. Army of ths Vhillp-
flnes, has assembled at Council Bluffs,
owa, for Its third annual reunion.
The Colorado society. Army of the PhlllD-
Elnes, was organized at Denver December
189S, and extended an invitation to all
who served In the Philippines to attend a
reunion on August 13, !, with a view to
me rormation or a national association.
This day was chosen on account of Its his
toric significance, being the anniversary of
the capitulation of Manila, which was the
tart military event or tne epanisn war,
and gave to the United States the posses
sion of the Philippine archlpelsgo, with
all Its problems, conflicts, responsibilities
and possibilities.
At this first reunion at Denver, Colo.,
August 13 to 16, 1900, the National Society.
Army of the Philippines, was organised
and a constitution and bylaws v adopted,
which provided In a general way for atata
The second annua! reunion was held at
Bait Lake City. Utah. August 11 to 16. 1901.
The beautiful and appropriate Insignia
of the society, designed by a sub-committee
of the executive committee, end elaborated
by the Bailey, Banks Blddle company of
Philadelphia, waa adopted.
Ckasgti la Coastltattoa.
Two amendments to the constitution were
proposed, which will be acted upon at this
meeting.
One modifies the clause in tha nreamble
In regard to 'perpetuation of the ties ef
friendship between the- individuals nd or
ganlzatlons of the Eighth Army corps" by
substituting for ths "Eighth Army Corps"
(which at the time of the adoption -of the
constitution included all troops that had
served in the Philippines, but which w.s
afterward discontinued), ths more eompre-
nensive term, "Army or the Philippines."
The other limits memberehlD to those
who served in the Philippines between the
beginning of the war with Spain and the
4th of July, 1901, which .arked the end
oi military government and tne Beginning
of civil administration in the archipelago.
As there has been a considerable amount
of warfare elnce that time. It may be ad
visable to extend thla time to July 4. 1902,
tne date ot the proclamation or amnesty.
While there will undoubtedly be some mili
tary operations In the future, they will
be In the nature of police protection against
outlaws rather than warfare against sn
organised enemy. Ths idea of this amend
ment Is that this is a war society, and Its
character as such should not be destroyed
by Including in its membership all who
ever serve In the Philippines in time of
pesce ss well as war.
Amendments to- the Dyiawa were aaopteo.
providing for the representation of stato
societies and local camps In the business
meetings or the national society oy able
gates, prescribing a routine for the nomi
nation and election of officers, and making
the i emulation khaki the official uniform of
the society.
Deslro for Uniform Laws.
Ths constitution provides (article ill)!
"Stats and territorial divisions of this so
ciety are hereby authorised and recom
mended. Their constitutions shall conform In
spirit to .the provisions ot this amendment."
ins amendments to the bylaws aoopteu at
the last meeting, as previously mentioned,
tefer In a general way to local camps and
their representation In the national so
ciety. There Is, however, no prescribed
form of constitution and bylaws for state
societies and local camps, which have
therefore drawn up these Instruments In
accordance with their own Ideas. This will
necessarily lead to non-unlformlty and pos
sibly to serious differences, it is therefore
recommended that a committee be ap
pointed to revise and enlarge the constitu
tion and bylawa so aa to provide fully for
the organization of state societies and local
camps and prescrib the forra of their con
stitution and bylaws. It haa occurred to
me that the constitution and bylawa of the
national society may be so drawn aa to
serve also for its subordinate societies and
camps, thus greatly simplifying matters
and avoiding unnecessary duplication. As
i is a aimcuu matter. In the hurry and
bustle of a convention, fur a committee to
find time to give so Important a question

tion I have given the subject considerable
.:-dy during the last two weeks and have
ieaei -e uoerty of preparing a draft of
r -sa constitution and bylaws to submit
to your committee, if you decide to ap
plnt one, merely as a suggestion and basis
lor their consideration and revision.
The life and growth of the national
society and state societies reet fundament
ally on the organisation ana strength of
the local camps. These are composed ef
men living in the same town or nrii,bor
hood, who served as a rule in the same
company, and who are bound tosethor by
tics of intimate comradeship. Such a camp
should be attractive from the social as

All Shoald Corn la.
The Society of the Army of the Philip
pines Is one to which every man who
served In the Philippines should consider it
an honor te belong. With the most cor
dial goodwill for ail the Sianlah-Amertcan
war societies, the soldiers of the Army ot
ths Philippines are bound together by ties
ef comradeship which stow only from cam
paigning together In the same foreign clime
sgalnat a common enemy.
At present, and perhaps fnr aome time
to come, there are two special reasons for
maintaining such an organisation first,
loyal, nonptrtlssn support of the United
States government In Its earnest and con
scientious efforts to carry out the respotial
billttes which our campaigns In ttie Philip
pines brought forth, and. second, defeina
of the United States srmy. Which has beew

The forenoon waa devoted entirely to an
Informal exchange of greetings, the first

Ia suite 104 Brigadier General Irving Hale,
president of the national society, was hold

shortly after T o'clock with Lieutenant Don
Macrae, president of the Iowa society, as
his escort from Omaha. ' With him from
Denver came Colonel J. W. Pope, third vice

bers of the Colorado society.
Oeaerat Hale la Pleased:.
General Hals, who wag a promoter of the
organisation of the national society and who
has been a central figure In It ever elnce,
said:
"I am more thaa pleased with the pro
gress that the society is now making. I
cannot euote figures until I see some at
the reporte that will be made at this meet
Ins, but the growth thte year baa been
much greater thaa la the year that fol
lowed our first meeting at Denver In 1900.
Nebraska veterans are well organised. Iowa
has taken bold epleadidly and the eastern
states are now getting Into !ine. Neces
sarily It takes a while to get an organisa
tion of this kind to Its full dimensions, but
I constdsr that ours Is new a well estab
lished one, with a' fixed Identity that should
be retained, with no change ia name or In
signia. There Is nothing of particular Im
portance confronting the society for deter
mination at this time except some altera
tions In the constttatlon and by-laws which
I ahall touch upon la my address at the
buslneea eesslon this afternoon. General
Funston, I regret to say,, was aot physi
cally able to eome.
General Charles King, the soldier-novelist.
arrived earlr from Milwaukee With Colonol
A. 8. Frost of Evanston. and la being en
tertained by bis old-time friend Ernest B.
Hart, president ef the First National bank,
at the latter'g home on Park avenue. He
went early to the hotel for a chat With
other officers and to meet ble numerous
acquaintances among the men. Most of the
officers were In khaki but General King
wore a civilian's suit of blue, a gray fedora
hat whleh he later doffed for a. khaki uni
form and carried no more dreadful weapon
than a light cane. His proverbial oordialty
was apparent, and when aa acquaintance
asked If he would remain through the meet
ing be replied heartily: "Indeed I shalj sir,
I came out expressly for It and I wish to be
in on all there is of It. It Is the first meet
ing I have had opportunity to attend. I
waa preparing to go to the first ons. but
about that time my publishers tailed and I
have been busy over elnce mending fences."

Albert E. Fout of St Louis, commander
of Camp Lawton, Philippine Island Veter

R. B. Eck, J. P. Balrd, C. B. Leech. C. P.
Jamlaon. Henry Mkrple and Henry Hager.
Lieutenant Jamison ia a former Council
Bluffa boy and served tn the Phllipplnea
with Company L, Flfty-flrat Iowa volun
teers. Commander Fout aad his delegation have
a double mission to perform. Tha first Is
to secure the reunion ef the Nstlonal So
ciety Army of the Philippines tor the Ex
position City In 1904. Ths second is te urge
the consolidation of ths Philippine Island
Veterans' society and ths National Society
Army of the Philippines. The sentiment
of men already here is svidently in favor ot
some arrangement whereby tho two socle
ties may become merged, but opinions as to
on what terms the members of the Philip
pine Island Veterans' society should be
taken into the National Society Army of the
Philippines, differ. Members ef the Na
tional society feel that their society is now
so thoroughly established and with such a
membership that It ought to bs sbls to dic
tate the terms. Few favor consolidation,
while moat are willing that the two socie
ties should be merged. The question will
not be brought before the National society
until the last day ot the reunion.
Commander Fout when approached en the
subject declined te talk at this time, saying
that ths question was working Itself out all
right and that to sxplolt It so early In the
reunloa might harm rather thaa facilitate
matters. Hs asserted that the main object
of the delegation from St. Louis was te se
cure the reunloa for that city la 1M4, the
year of the great exposition. The general
opinion Is that eome arrangement will be
arrived at wuereby the two eoclettee will
merge a4 will iu. tvS-

At o'clock last night Lieutenant Mac
rae who, as president of the Iowa society
has general charge ot reunion arrange
ments, said that It waa utterly Impossible
for him to estimate the number of Ne
braska members of the society who had been
In Council Bluffs during the day tor the
first session of the reunion.
. "The hoys from across ths river came,
many of them In civilian dress, and as soon
as the session was ovsr went back to
Omaha to spend the night. The register
in the hotel office shows ths names of
thirty-five ot them, but that book ta no
safe criterion for we know that we bad
47 members of the eoeiety here today yet
only 178 are now shown on the register.
"We have no fear ot their forsaking us,
however, and confidently expect - T neigh
boring etate to make a fine showing In
the parade tomorrow. One hundred and
sixty men and fifteen officers of the tegu
lar service will leave Fort Crook on. a
special train ot tour ears at o'clock In
the morning and arrive here within an hour
or two, bringing with them a detachmsat
of the hospital corps and the Twenty-second
Infantry band. The Fifty-first Iowa
will be represented by Company B from
Vllltoca, Company 0 from Glenwood and
Company M from Red Oak, In addltloa to
a dosea from Company F of Oskaloosa aad
others who are already here."
General Halo Not a Candidate.
Because be believes In rotation la office
and because hie duties ae manager at Den
ver for the General Electric company re
quire all his time, General Irving Hale let
It be known yesterday at noon that be win
not accept re-election to the office of presi
dent of the National Society, Army of the
Philippines. ' This came as a total surprise,
aa the office had been generally conceded
to blm, and bis announcement has resulted
In much speculation as te who ble succeesor
will bs.
Hale served under MacArthur and la
thought to favor the election of the lat
ter to the presidency. Undoubtedly Mae
Arthur Is very popular, but the name of
Major General John C. Bates, eommander
ot the Department of the Missouri, Is doing
mentioned with growing favor. He Is wnl
vsrsally popular with the men and If ha
appears among them today his chances
tor slection era ot the best. Thsre Is many
a good word for "Hell Roaring Jake" Smith.
but he la not seriously thought ot lor ths
presidency.
Dearer Has a Candidate.
Hale being but of the running, Denver
promptly bobs up with a candidate for an
other office In the person ot First Lieuten
ant Charles B. . Lewis of ths First Colo
rado, who is already treasurer of ths local
eamp at Denver and ot the atate aoclety.
and who now aspires to perform similar
duties tor the national organisation. The
Omaha candidate, Robert W. Gillespie ot
Company L, has, howsvsr, no lack of back
ing and It Is thought that unless Colo
rado ties up With Minnesota the Lewis
boom will be punctured before the voting
hour Friday. Charles Burkhart, secretary
of the Colorado society, is being talked of
for recording secretary, and thla Is another
obstacls in Lewis' path. The correspond
ing secretary is' apt to be a St. Paul or
Minneapolis man, aa it ia considered that
that office ahould go wherever the next re
union le te be held. The present corre
sponding aecretary ie Is George M. Post ot
Denver, assistant to his father, tha attor
ney general ot the stats, snd he le not pres
ent because of legal matter requiring his
sttcstiss-g fct which tha tnea look upon
with eome dlafavor.
Iowa May Get a Place.
Tho recording a senary may be an Iowa
man, or if Gillespie falls to show sufficient
1 J v
if f
strength, a Nebraskan. Lieutenant Macrae,
president of the Iowa society. Is apt to bs
made Bret vice president. There are els
vice presidents and they are usually ap
portioned two to the regular amy, two to
the United States volunteers and two to
the etate volunteers. Macrae and either
Captain H. A. Howard of ConnellsvlUe, Pa.,
of the Tenth Pennsylvania, or Major N. C.
Robinson of the Thirteenth Minnesota may
represent the state volunteer branch. ' Gen
eral King and Colonel J. W. Pope of Colo
rado are apt to represent the regulars and
General Metcalfe and Colonel Frost, the lat
ter ot South Dakota, the United Statei
volunteers.
Treasurer Cosgrave's Report.
Captain P. J. Cosgrave of Lincoln made
hla report as treasurer of the National So
ciety, Army of the Philippines, at ita ees
slon yesterday afternoon. He reported that
$380 in dues had been collected during the
year and $165 disburssd for expenses, leav
ing flit la the treasury. Before he left the
hall he collected an additional $90 from
those present.
"This Is ao such showing as the the treas
urer will be able to make at the next re
union," he aald. "Hereafter money will be
eomlng la freely as general organisation
practically dates from this meeting. We
new have ready for distribution tho char
ters for state societies aad local cankpa,
and there have been many of these or
ganised since the laat meeting. We bare
prepared also Individual certificates ot
membership In the national aoclety for thoee
ellgiblea who are not resident where camps
exist Both the charter and certificates
are extremely handaome affairs, ot me as
sign described In General Hale's address.
'State organisations who wilt get ehartere
at once are those of Nebraska, Iowa, Penn
sylvania, Minnesota, Colorado. California,
Utah, Kansas aad Wyoming. AH these have
local eampa and there are local camps at
Washington, D. C Philadelphia aad New
York City. We have la the national or
genlsattoa ' membership of ' about 4.000,
but there are 140,000 foen la the United
States who will be eligible after we amend
the constitution, as we certainly will amend
It, ta make the time limit for oervtee July
4, 1901 lnstsad of 1001."
paalsb-Aaaerleaa War Veterans.
At the meeting yesterday William C. Lit-
ler of Lancaster, Pa., adjutant general of
the Spanish-American War Veterans, waa
heard from In a communication that pro
posed that the Society of the Army of the
Philippines urge all Hs members to join the
organization be was speaking for. One
passage la bis letter read thusi "Teur so
ciety ehould occupy the same relation to us
that the Army ot the Cumberland occu
pies to the Grand Army of the Republic.
Fifty per cent of your member belong to
our organisation and all of them should."
When the letter waa read there was not
even a peep of approbation, and an officer
of the Philippine aoclety later aald:
'I guess ths proposal Isn't to receive
much consideration when It la taksn up
later. We bav none but the beet af feel
ing toward the ether organisation, but this
one has an Individuality that can not well I
be sacrificed now. I believe, too, that the
regular army officers feel a great Interest
tn our society and prefer to see It retain
that Individuality. The other aoclety well
represents the volunteer eervloe; our more
nearly the regular service.
