 The New London Telegraph stated that Colonel Doherty of the Second reg iment has announced that he will re- sign soon after the annual encampment at Mantle. The same paper adds the information that Colonel Doherty says he does not think the strained relations between himself and Lieutenant-C Colonel Burpee will have any bad effect upon the men during camp week. He would have resigned year ago. but remained in the office for Burpee's sake until the latter should be in position to secure the promotion. Doherty says that now everything appears all right for Bur- pee's advancement. and he will simply carry out an old desire in retiring from the militia service.
 To reporter of the Hartford Courant Colonel Doherty said that he had not made any such announcement. He had not told anyone when he would retire from the service, and in fact had not de- cided to retire before camp, after camp or at any definite period. The Second regiment was in excellent shape, never better under his administration. officers and men were working together harmo- niously, and he was confident the rec ord made at camp would be creditable to the regiment.
