This letter was sent by Gen Carnahan in
answer to question from the citizens
committee, SO that no more than the re-
Quired number of tents might be procured
This. 1t is said In Pythian circles. Is q very
large showing for a date so far distant
from the time of the encampment. Reports
have not been received from all the diyi-
sions of the Uniform Rank. The estimate
also does not include bands, and each or
ganization has informed the commander
in-chief that 1t will bring one. and I'm some
ir stances three bands. Some OF the large
states have not reported to Gen. CarEa-
han, and many of the reports have proba biz
been delayed by the Pullman boycott, but
the general promises to keep the committee
Informed on all essential points
Another cause for trouble is that the
western Passenger Association has not vet
fixed a rate. The fact that the railroads
nave made a lower rate for the Grand
Army encampment, which meets at Pitts
burg on September 10, is causing some dis
satisfaction in the ranks of the Uniformed
Pythians. Gen. Carnahan has been en-
deavortng to get a meeting of the various
general passenger agents, and IT is Thought
that conference will be held on July :.
On this matter Gen. Carnahan says:
II we can settle the controversy at that
meeting and get the passenger agents to fix
the same rate for Washington that they
have fixed for Pittsburg, our numbers viii
be very materially increased over the fig
ures that are given you In this communica-
ton From the statements already In. IT
VIII not be safe to make a contract for a.
less number of tents than was first esti-
mated by the X. p. committee at Wash
ington."
At the headquarters. of the Pythians at
the Warder building there was a quiet and
ant communications were received: one he
ing from West Virginia in reference to its
Headquarters. which will be established on
fehnsyivania avenue. The citizens meet
III. .s al.srnoon at O'Clock to report prog
ress and get down to work and the Pyth
ians Will have meeting tonight.
