X II is reported that djutant-General
Garrett J. Hart and Colonel George w.
Marshall, First Regiment, N. G. D.,
expect soon to see new militia com
pany organized in this city, in place Of
Company A, which has been h6norably
discharged. 1t is explicitly understood
that Company A did not leave the
service OF the state for any difference
or quarrel with the militia authorities
or any lack of loyalty to the service or
TO the state OF any nature whatever.
The reason is simply shat the appro-
pration made by tile State is entirely
inadequate for proper establishment
and support Of the State soldlery, and
has proved through the experience of a
long series of years heavy tax upon
the private purse of the militiaman even
when borne under the most rigid
economy. These facts were clearly
demonstrated to the Legislature while
in session and both officers and men
informed the Assembly Of the alternative
they would be driven 10. There was no
response from the authorities. Hence
the present position and action of
Company A. While these are the
general ideas of the rank and file in
regard to lack Of appropriation, the
officers of the militia were more insistent
before the Legislature in regard to better
disciplinary laws for the National Guard.

THE CATCH.

The catch of fish varies. Some weeks
they catch as high as 100000 fish, or
about $500 barrels, but the average is
100000 per month. Very few fish be-
sides alewives are taken-not enough to
supply the table of siLgle family. The
fish are plentiful this year, but poor.
Not one.haf as much oil has been made
this year as was made last year, and the
same report comes from other sections
OF the country.

the Pullman Company through good and
evil report and without regard to conse-
quenres until Justice shall be done There
Will be no surrender. We will use every

humanity and against the most cruel for
tyranny, and unless we are dead to every
impulse of mercy and fellow-feeling, must
be crowned with success.
Think OF the Pullman employees as your
own sisters, brothers, children. If YOU
have any doubt us to the outrages of which
they have been the victims, we refer you
to Rev. w. IL. Carvandine, Pullman, ILL.,,
gentleman of highest character and
standing, who has long been close stu
dent of the conditions at Pullman, and is
said to speak from personal experience
and observation.
Persons desiring to contribute money
and supplies to Pullman employees will
please forward the same to David V. Glad
man, treasurer, Pullman, Ill.
II is requested that all papers throughout
the land favorable 10 justice, to humanity,

STRIKE FAILURE PRACTICALLY AID
MIrTED.
This document practically contains
the admission that there is no longer
any strike by authority of the American
Railway Union, and that the efforts
which have been made by the union
and other organizations of labor to force
the Pullman Company to arbitrate by
ineaps Of strikes have failed, necessitat-
inga change Of tactics in the plan of the
utl-Pullmau campaign. President Debs
would not admit that much tonight,
and had nothing to add to the document.

dismal howl and sharp yelp of the members
OF the canine tribe which infest Hillsdale
he cclored settlement above Anacostia
have given the policemen clues as to where
the majority of the disturbers of the peace

regarding the nightly serenades rendered
gratis have caused the officers to make
strenuous efforts to exterminate all dogs
