H.. D.
ment last night, voluminous reports
were submitted by the representatives
of the various subcommittees who
went to Louisville for the purpose of

being such as could not very we'll be
embodied in a written report, but
every one expressed satisfaction at
what had been accomplished by the

tails that are a sufficinet guarantee
Of the generally good results.

advantage st. Paul will derive there
from. In conclusion Capt McCardy

mittee in it's work.
&. w. Horr, as chairman, and J. L.
Brigham, as secretary, of the accom-
modation committee, reported having
received much dstailed information
from Col Albert Scott, chairman of the
corresponding committee in Louisville
Col. Scott furnished them with copies
of all blanks, books, ETC., used by his
committee, and explained fully the
mode of operation pursued by it. Free
quarters had been fitted up in school
houses, warehouses and such other
buildings as could be utilized, 24,6SO G.
A. r. men being thus accommodated
during the encampment. These places
were fitted out with single mattresses
ings averaging twelve rooms each.
JanitorS were provlued for each to
keep them in proper order.
A plat of forty acres situated eleven
miles from the city, but reached by
good transportation facilities, was util-
lied for a camp. On this 300 tents were
set up, secured from the government,
and each tent was supplied with three
cots. In this camp 2,400 men found ac-
comm oda tionS. The committee made
a thorough canvass of the city and ad-
joining towns for accommodations in
boarding houses and private residences.
Nearly every house in the city was
thrown open to care for visitors, and
not a single complaint was made to
the committee regarding the conduct
of persons admitted thereto.
Referring to the matter of supplies
left over and offered for sale at figures
that make it an object to purchase
them, the report says that upwards
Of 5000 cots are offered at from one
half to two-thirds their cost new, the
prices ranging from 221A cents for the
cheapest to so CENTS for a. lot of espe-
cially good ones. Then a lot of ticks
and mattresses are offered at very low
figures also. An option of ten days
has been given by the Louisville COM
mittee on all these supplies, and the
report urges immediate action toward
securing them. In conclusion the re-
port says that the representatives of
the committee who went to Louisville
are more than ever impressed with the
that rests upon this COM.

be successfully performed.
