by companies composing the Texas Vol
unteer Guard. looking to disbandng OF
the Guard. The question is serious one
and quite a senSntion has been caused in
local military circles by the agitation Of
the matter which was caused by discus
sion at meeting OF the Emmett Itlfles
Thursday night.
For some time past there has been d
murrnur o. discomfort among the members
OF military companies. not only those In
Houston, but from other parts OF the State,
because the legislature has signihcd the
intention OF passing an appropriation bill
without providing for an encampment Of
the militia. The last legislature failed to
make m appropriation and there has been
10 cncampment fer two years. except those
under the direction OF towns which have
invited the companies to go In camp during
some fair or exhibition. When the dppro.
priation was recently put TO Il vote, it was
defeated In the house of representatives.
and since thuu friends OF the Guard at
Austin have been writing TO .nililary men
enclosing the names OF those wnO voted
against the measure. and suggesting that
1t be made m issue in tho noxt campaign.
Brigadier General Richard Cooke received
communication from Brgadier General
