THE PROPOSED EXCURSION.
In regard to the proposed excursion
from Scranton to Camp Meade, notice
or which has been made in former
letter to the Tribune, your correspon-
dent has since been looking into the
matter more particularly in order to
be able to throw more light on the
subject. At that time 1t was supposed
that the trip from Harrisburg to here
would be rather difficult to accomplish,
and that the eXcursionists would have
to be conveyed in ambulanCes, band
wagons and the regulation army wag-
ons, requiring an hour to come from
and another to return to the nearest
point at which the terminus Of street
car approaches to camp. A better ar
rangement than this is possible.
The journey can be made from
Scranton to Harrisburg and from there
over the Philadelphia and Reading to
Clifton, way station which is located
between the Sweet Arrow river and
the Thirteenth's camp. 1t takes only
ten or fifteen minutes to walk from
Clifton to the ground on which the
regiment is encamped. This knowl
edge may be useful to those who have
charge of this project.

Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, Sept.
9.-Secretary of War Alger and Gem
eral Shafter We're the star attractions
today at Camp Meade. They witnessed
review of the troops and made a
hurried tour of the camp. General
Alger resumed his journey at noon to
Detroit and General Shafter went back
to Washington. They were closeted
together an hour this morning in the
secretary's private car, on siding at
Camp Meade station. While General
Graham was arranging for the review
Secretary Alger and General Shafter
had another conference lasting thirty
minutes.
What passed between them neither
would say, except that it was pri-
vate affair. General Shafter said the
secretary was a very dear friend and
that they had been in the civil war to-
gether as colonels. He is at work on
his report of the Santiago campaign
and expects to complete it tomorrow
Speaking of the controversy with Gen
eral Miles he said.
1T is all poppy cock. There is no
friction between General Miles and
myself, at least there was not when
he left Santiago. Our relations have
always been pleasant. and l do not
understand the meaning of all this
talk. The general may have been
talking, but / believe that much of it
Is due to antagonistic newspapers
whose motives are certainly not pa
tr!otic."
A GRAND REVIEW.
Secretary Alger is accompanied by
Mrs. Alger and their son, Captain Fred
Alger, who is suffering from camp
fever, and was too weak to witness
the review. General Shafter brought
with him his aide, Major Miley. and
Cuban boy, whom he took a fancy
to while in Santiago and adopted. Gem
erals Alger and Shafter were driven
to General Graham's headquarters in
