The Second Brigade,

The men in this City are awaiting the time
when Colonel James F. Smith will assume
command of the First Regiment, as they are
somewhat anxious to learn what changes, ii
any, will take place. There is a great deal oil
talk about possible changes, despite the asser-
tion of the new colonel that he will not make
any. There are knowing ones' who say that
there are number of resigna tons ali ready
to be rendered az soon as Colonel Smith shall
make the announcement that he has taken
command.
These reports involve the lieutenant.colonel
OF the regiment. 1t is stated that strong
effort Will be made to induce him to remain
with the regiment should he have it in his
mind to retire. The lieutenant-colonel still
declines to either affirm or deny the report
about his intention to resign.
The several companies at the aTmories con-
tinue their drills every week Next Wednes-
day the Second Battalion of the First Infantry
will give drill at the armory, and the event
will be followed by dance.
Arrangements, so officers of this brigade
have been advised, are being perfected at the
adiutant-generaPs Office for the inspection 10
be held in the near future. Orders will prob
ably be issued this week. Arrangements are
also being made to the end that the men may
engage in target practice under the new regu-
latlOns.

The Appropriations That
Will Be Used for the
Soldiers.
There Will Certainly Be Mill.
tary Instruction in Camp
This Year.
The Naval Battalion Will Have an
Opportunity to Go to SEA in
the Ironclad Comache.

There is Joy in the ranks Of the Ma
tional Guardsmen now because the Gov
ernor has signed the appropriat ton bill,
which will enable them to 60 into camp
this year.
the bill which he has signed grants
about everything that the guardsmen
have asked for, and it provides in addition
TO the usual amount for the expense of
the Adiutant-GeneraPs Office the following
amounts: For armorv rents and other
expenses of the Guard, $156. 500; allowance
division headquarters, $1,000; purchase
of uniforms, $4,000; coal and other
supplies of trainingship Comanche,
$4,000; allowance for brigade head
quarters, S6S16; target practice and
purchase of medals, $4,000; for hospital
supplies. three brigades, $4,000; for travel
ing expenses of officers on detail duty
$4,000; for armory rents and other expenses
for one additional com pany, $4,000 amount
allowance for one additional com pany,
$500; uniforms for same, $3.50; for armory
rents and other expenses of one additional
company of the national reserve. $500;
annual allowance of the National Guard.
$50, ,466 80; allowance for regimental head
quarters, including allowance for bands,
Sill, 800; for eEcampments for the forty
ninth fiscal year which commences next
July, $50. 900.
Adjutant-General Barrett was in the City
last saturday, and when spoken to on the sub
ject of camps he stated that he was in favor of
regimental camps. In the Second Brigade the
majority OF the officers In the First and Fl tn
regiments are in favor of regimental cam ps
and not in favor of division encampment.
They are of the opinion that regimental camps
will be productive of far better results than q
division camp would. The men themselves in
this City are strongly in favor of regimental
camp, but that is matter that rests with the
commander-in-chief, who may order an en-
eampment for discipline ana drill either by
division, brigade, regiment. battalion or unat-
tached company. When so ordered out tor
not less than seven daye each company shall
receive a sum equal TO 81 20 per day for ea ch
officer and man regularly on duty in camp,
provided the aggregate shall not exceed $40O
per company. All mounted officers and men
shall be allowed So per day for each horse
used by them in the encampment.
The new law that will hereafter govern the
National Guard of this State includes num-
ber OF new features, but none that will work
any radical changes.

EFFECTS OF BRITISH POLICY.

Toronto Mail and Empire.
1t Britain were not bound to a cest-iron free
trade policy, she would now command great
privileges in the United States as the price of
the market she affords American farmers.
Not only has Britain's policy emboldened
other countries TO tax her products out of
their market, but under the high duties to
which they have safely resorted their indus
tries have grown into strength to compete
with Britain's industries, even in the home
market Germany's competition is formid able
everywhere, and that OF the United States is
becoming vigorous. Pig iron, steel. steel rails
and woolen goods are now being shipped from
the United States into the Bri itish market.
