MILITARY CHANGES
May Take Place Soon, But Birmingham VIII Remain Headquarters for the Second.
 Three Deaths in Montgomery.

Montgomery July 1.-lSpecial)-A telegram received in this city today from a prominent member of the First regi- ment staff stated that scheme for redis- tricting the Alabama state troops was virtually agreed upon by the officers of the three regiments, the governor and the adjutant-Seneral, at a meeting held on Saturday at the brigade headquarters of Camp Clark, and asked if the general order to that effect had been issued. This, of course. aroused considerable cu- rosity among Montgomery military men. as IL had been reported and published that no action of any kind had been taken in the matter.
 The Ago-Eerald man called on Gov erncr Oates at the capitol and asked him if the statement of the officer was cor rect.
 The governor replied that a meeting of the officers was held at the headquar- ters and that considerable opposition to the plan of changing the Second re2l- ment headquarters from Birmingham to Montgomery and calling it the Third regiment, etc, as suggested, was devel- oped, the opposition coming principally from the regimental officers of the Sec ond; but that another plan, which was to transfer the TontGomaSy companies to the Third, and the Huntsville, Gads- den and &nniston companies to the Sec ond, removing the Third regiment head quarters from Selal to Montgomery. was suggested and met with the all most unanimous approval of all the of ficers present Adjutant-GeneIal Jones asked if the general ccder to that effect should De issued. and that he Cthe gov erno0 had replied that he would take the matter under consideration and confer further with the officers concerned.
 The matter remains in that state, but one thing is sure and that thing is that Birmingham will not be deprived of the Second regiment headquarters. The gov ernor's idea is to make Mobile. Brming ham and Montgomery the three largest cities in the state, the headquarters re- spectiyely of the three regiments, re- gardless of the place>of residence of the colonels.
