Revlsloa of Law. After the letter were read Chairman Hale made th report ot tho commute on revision of constitution and bylaw, read ing th rsttsed Instrument a drafted by th committee. In the preamble It changes the clause "Individual and organisation of th Eighth army corps" to resd "Individ uals and organisations ot th Army ot th Philippines." Ia the constitution the only alteration ot the old form is to provide that the member ship consist of men who served In the Phil ippine prior to July 4, 1902, tho date ot amnesty. Befor there wa no date given. Tho bylaw were -almost entirely rewrit ten. Tbelr principal provisions are these: Fifteen men entitled to membership may secure charter for local camp upon applica tion to th president and secretary of the state society, provided ths latter, upon In vestigation, find that all requirement are met; a majority vote ot the president and sec re fares of th local camps In a atate society carries It Into the national society; the Individual member then get, free, from the secretary of tho national society a copy ot the constitution and bylawa and a card of membership In th national aoclety, en graved certificate ot membership to cost extra; local camp hav representation In tho state societies at th rat of on dele gat for every ten member or fraction thereof; delegations to the national so ciety's meeting are on the aam basla; veterans who are member of the state or national society but not member of local camp may participate In the deliberation of the body to which they belong; eligible men living more than ten mile from a local camp may join the atato aoclety; the officers of the national society hereafter shall be president, six vice presidents, one secre tary, instead of two as at present; treasurer and chaplain, the vice president to be ap portioned among the regulars, the United States volunteer and th state volunteers only Insofar aa convenient; officer of each State aoclety shall be the same a those Cf lis E;t!r5s! Maty errant thst there shall be but three vie president; local camps shall hav th aam staff except that there shall be but one vice president and the addition of a sergeant-at-arma and a bugler, this latter provision being a prep aration for funeral and other similar cere monies; state and national aoclety officer hall bo elected yearly by majority of rote cast, the msetlngs of the national society to be on August IS. of the state societies on February 4; the local camp are to elect at their January meeting; dues' shall be 12, th atat society to collect 60 cents per capita and give half that amount to tbe national aoclety; wher . there are local campa but no state society the national so ciety collect 25 cant per capita direct; khaki shall be tha official uniform tor all gathering of the sooietles. There wa also a provision tor admitting on ot member, and General II ile ex plained that thl waa with a view to hav ing the organisation perpetuated. A beard less, childless member objected to this, but General Charles King arose and aatd: "I cannot lee why the objection ahould be made. Th Loyal Leglcn, which has this plan, 1 now receiving every day applica tion from son and I anticipate that very aoon It membership ot ths ceccnl c as will bo greater than Its membership of th first clsss. I look forward with keenest pride and greatest pleasure to the tlx when I may nam my son for membership In the Legion. I look forward with equal pride and pleasure to tbe time when I may name htm for membership in'thla society." General King spoke with feeling and almost before he had finished there wa applause that was deafening and the objec tion wa voted down with a thundering "no." Captain -Steele moved that the by law be amended to give all past effieers a vole In all meetings ana this wa ac cepted. Then the convention voted to ac cept th amended draft but empowfrlDg the executive committee to make some alight alteration In wording that General Hal proposed, but which he had not had time to prepare In writing. , Report oa Rltaal. Dr. Lock ot Colorado reported that the committee on ritual I making progress, but asked time. It wa voted to allow the eommitee three monthe, the executive com mittee then to adopt the ritual on behalf of the aoclety If It hll ee fit. The exec utive committee was empowered also to do as It shall think best In ihe matter ot pur chasing the plate of the engraving for the charter.

Chairman Fouta of the delegation aent up from St. Louis to knock at the aoclety'a door was called forward and briefly stated that hi organization haa six local camps, with 108 membsrs la St. Louis and 1,470 outslds St. Louts, and that the local camps will sat for themselves In the matter of merging, but that all with to com Into this larger organisation If they can do so and still re main Individual camps, Thl proved agreeable to the army so oiety and there wa not a dissenting voice In the vote oa thl resolution: "Resolved, That thl society extend a cordial Invllatioo to tho camps of the Philippine Island Vstsrans' soclsty to units with this society snd that th secretary be Instructed to furnish them with all necessary application blanks, etc." Waiting; oa St. Paal. Bom on proposed thst the matter of selecting the city to entertain- th next re union be taken up and th body was ready, but a St. Paul delegate arose and asked that tha action be deferred, confessing, with aome blushes, that the only reason for his request waa that D. B. Reese, clerk of the supreme court ot Minnesota had been brought, all tbe way to Council Bluffs to maks a speech and that hla friends didn't wish to see him robbed of ths opportunity. It is a torsgono conclusion that St. Psul will get the plum but the society gracious ly decided tk wait that Mr. Reeae may have opportunity io aauca it uS Uu U Io"'iu pole, lie wasn't present Just tbea and so on knew wasro to find him.

BATTLE NONE TOO FIERCE Crowds Which Gwamsd Over the rield Hamper Voramsnt ef Troops, KOON HIDES AND SHUTS OFF THE LIGHT Crowd Variously Estimated at treat Tweatr-Flvo to Thirty Thoe.. aad Witness th Speetaele. Th grand military demonstrstlon and sham battle, heralded a the big apeetacular feature of th reunion ot th National Society, Army of the Philippine, attracted a crowd conservatively estimated at 26,000 people to Lake Manawa yetterday even pg. Soldier In uniform hav and will probably always prove a strong drawing card, but soldiers In battl array, with cannon and th other accountrement of warfare, mlmlo though it might be, proved th strongest kind ot an attraction, as evidenced by the masses of people men, women and children, who crowded th forty acres selected tor th military display and by their number prevented tbe carry ing out of th program aa originally ar ranged. At least tha fallur to carry out th published program waa ascribed by those in charge to th Immense throng which crowded th field and made th pre arranged evolution of th troop Impossi ble. From early morning tbe people began gathering at tha lake, thl being especially true of the country folk who drov there In wagon and In almost every conceivable kind of vehicle. Thes took their dinner and supper with them and made a day of It at tbe resort, with th Intention of being arly en th field and aecurlng a vantage point from which to view tbe battle. Others watted until they had seen the parade In the city, then they hastened to board the cars to tho lake and from shortly after noon until o'clock at night every train bound to Manawa was laden to Its ca pacity. Th crowd waa th biggest in tho history of th lake resort Thl waa generally con ceded and many estimated tbe number of people ther at S o'clock, th time an nounced for tho commencement of the mili tary spectacle at 80.000.' Soldier Seated Free. Th aoldter were taken to the lake shortly after 5 o'clock and given dinner there. The grandstand had been transferred from the base ball field to on corner ot th forty-acre tract and thla waa speedily filled, despite the fact that SO cents wa exacted for each seat. This charge nearly caused the whole display to be called off. Lieutenant Macrae Insisted that Manager Griffith permit th soldiers attending the reunion to occupy the grandstand free ot charge. The management demurred and Lieutenant Macrae, a president of the Iowa aoclety, threatened to declare the ham battl off and order the soldier back to the city. Tbe privilege to tho visiting soldier was finally conceded and announce ment made that the program would be carried out. , . Eight o'clock came but no sign of tha no sign of anything doing. The crowd, however, was good natured and amused itself by cheering the different companies aa they marched Into the field, stacked arms snd waited for orders which came not. By this time nearly the entlr Held waa covered by the crowd and Lieutenant Gray, to whom the management of the "grand military demonstration and sham battle" bad been assigned, waa kept busy using the soldiers on tho Held In trying to drive th crowd back.' At o'clock tha Dodge Light Guard gave th "hooy-fly" drill, but thl wa only vlalbl to a portion of th crowd In th grandstand. There wss no moon, although one had been scheduled for tha night and had evidently been relied upon by the man agement to make lta appearance. Incandes cent lights had been strung part way around tha field, but they only served to make the darkness th mor apparent. A aearch'tght located In on corner of the field wa thrown across th arm of th lake and suc ceeded In dimly outlining; the ' blockhouse and revealing the forms of the white-clad cadets, representing the Filipinos, aa they crossed the pontoon bridge and disappeared from sight among the woeda of the Island. They crossed this bridge at I o'clock and waited patiently in tha weeds for over aa hour, while tha mosquitoes ted oft them, to bo ettacked or be given th opportunity to attack something, ven it it waa only a ham aandwlch or a lack of cracker-Jack. Order Coaso Late. Officer and men, regular and militia, lay around on the grass waiting for th order for th sham battle until nearly 1:80 o'clock when ordera war given to th Twenty-second Infantry to deploy across the field a far as they could. Then things began to move bit and tha crowd waa on the tiptoe of expectation. From afar off there wa a volley, but who fired It waa only known to thoae In the Immediate vicinity. After an Interval of about five minutes there waa another volley and then alienee again reigned aupreme except for th good natured cheering ot th crowd.
