This request will be generally obfyed, and t is estimated that at least balf a iriillioD persons will see the parade. To afford early relief to veterans who nnay be overeóme by sickness or fatigue duriua the march, or spectators who may be injured in the crowd, temporary hospitals witu physicians and trained asRistants have been establiehed along the route. About the only matter ttaat would be called disagreeable iu connection with the encampment so fr is the feelmg of bitterness feit by the G. A. R. people at the action of the railroads in refusing a i mile rate for near-by towns, therebv keepinü down tbe nuraber of visitors at least ííO.OOO. lt has cropped out that tht subject wiil be introduced in the couvention and resolution cfïered, backed by : tbe delegHtes from Peunsylvania and Obio, to the effect tbat hereafter no encampments shall be held, but that the delegates, 1,200 in number, meet and transact necessary business at the expense of their respective posts without asking fa vors from the railroad9. There is no lack of fundsfor thesuitable entertainment of the old soldiere and fcheii f riends. A sum of $125,000 bas been raised for the purpose. Of this 175,000 was subscribed by citizens, Ít0,000 appropriated by the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny and the balance was raised by the sale of privileges, etc. The pólice are closely scrutiuizing every arrival. and fakirs and cruoks are given their choice of taking the uext train out of towu or going to the workhouse.
