lows for the ward: Two south OF Pennsylvania
avenue; two between the avenue and street;
two between and II streets; two between H
and X; two between X and NJ; and two north
Of M; said collectors to act In conjunction with
those already appointed.

E. Jillard and A. Schilling, for the second; A.
Tonnet and John Mcclellan, for the third F.
Miller and S. +. Stewart, for the the fourth;
VIM. Thomas and g. T. langley, for the fifth;

Department.; George T Raub, War and Navy
Departments and Winder's Building; Thomas

ment.
Mr.. Spaulding moved that a committee of
three be appointed to act in conjunction with
the Mayor, in waiting npOn Provost Marshal
General Fry, to ask an extension Of the draft
for one week at least He said they had learned
from the authorities that the quota of the ward
would not exceed 1903 at the outside, aud he
believed from the enthusiasm now felt in the
ward in the matter, that their quota could be
filled in one week Had they the money, the
men were forthcoming at any moment.
The committee that had waited upon the
Provost Marshal were informed that the draft
would commence first with the wards where
the deficiency was greatest. 1t was probable,
MI. Spalding said, that the drafting would
and the First and Fourth Wards, and that the
Third Ward would be one Of the last wards
drawn, and that the draft would not come
there before Thursday or Friday. Whether
the draft was postponed or not, this would
give them time to work.
The motion of Mr.: Spalding was adopted,
and Messrs. James W. Spalding, W. N. Haw-
ley and S. w. Owen were appointed on the
committee.
Mr Spa ding moved that 1,oOo more copies Of
prepared by the committee, be printed for cir
culatiop, and wished to get the sense Of the
meeting upon the proposition made in this ad-
dress, that tshould the association fail to fill
the quota, the money will be equally divided
