row will end the Nation Guard encamp-
ment for is9l There is no doubt that the
experience gained and the thorough drill
ing 70 which the men have been subjected
have made the camp very profitable one
There has been talk of extending the
time but as the condition was that the
men would serve without paw, an idea
that the men did not take kindly to, and
as without pay the detention OF soldiers
could not be made compulsory. it has been
abandoned. Besides the Eastern Wash
ington men are exceedingly desirous of
returning home on account OF the harvest,
rs many OF the Second regiment will be
thus employed for the remainder of the
summer.
The morning opened foggy, but cleared
at 8. and by the time for the review the
day was growing very warm. The usual
morning salute was fred, and promptly at
10 Gov McGraw and his party appeared
upon the grounds. Shortly after the cav
airy and two regiments of infantry, with
the Second regiment band and the cav
airy band, formed upon the parade ground
and were reviewed By the governor and
staff. The grand stand and the grounds
surrounding the parade ground were
crowded with visitors, who greatly ad-
mired the perfect movements of cavalry
and infantry. This afternoon an interest
ing sham battle took place. Tonight the
brave and fair will mingle in a social dance
to complete the observance of Independ-
ence day The men will be paid tomor-
row. About $4,000 will be disbursed,
which includes pay to some companies for
holiday parades during the past year.
Gen. 0'Brien has telegraphed for means
of transportation for troops to Walla
Walla, Dayton, Waitsburg and Pomeroy.
A reply is being awsited from the North
ern Pacific officials. Gen. Curry DIS
patched sergeant TO Tacoma TO learn the
disposition of the strikers on the matter OF
returning the troops. The sergeant has
reported TO the general that the railroad
ers are willing to man the trains. Whether
the company will consent to this is a mat
ter of conjecture. The presence of Chi
nese on the grounds today, pursuing
various avocations, gave rise to an attack
by some of the soldiers. which was sub
dued by the cavalrymen. The objection
able Chinese were sent TO Olympia, but
one Celestial went minus his queue. The
race track has been the scene of a number
of impromptu races. there being Some fair
stock among the cavalry horses. Maj.
| Burke and Lieut. Stockle, regular army
officers, who are here as instructors, are
loud in praise OF the Washington militia.
The officers generally expressed them
selves as pleased with the comparative
freedom of the camp from drunkenness
and acts of rowdyism during the past
eight days While a few fruit stands have
been raided and other evidences of exnoer-
auce of spirits were apparent, there has
been no damage done to speak of. and no
| complaints made by citizens. The camp
has been very free from sickness, and the
few cases reported are far from serious.
