 The Clothing Allowance
 For the benefit of those of the Alabama soldiers who do not know what the allow ance for clothing will be, reporter this morning obtained copies of general orders Nos 37 and eS, A. G. O. c. s., issued June 12 1897, and July 5, 1S9S respectively, con- taining price lists of clothing for enlisted men for each year and day, also allow ances of equipage and of tableware and kitchen utensils.
 The first order was effective from July i, 1897, and the second from July l. 1898; consequently the schedule of prices gov erning the issue of allowances to enlisted men from date of enlistment until July l, last, will be about 31 cents per day for ser geants. 281a cents per day for corporals. and 261a cents per day for privates. From July to date of muster-out the allowance per day will be about 36 cents for ser- geants. B 1-3 cents for corporals and n cents for privates.
 Pay on Mastering Out
 These amounts, less what the troops have had issued to them, which range in amounts from $15 to s25, will be paid to them upon muster out. Under the first order privates who have been in service since May will draw, less what has been issued, the sum of $16. .161a, and the non-commissioned offi- cers according to their rank, they being allowed 2h and cents per day additional. From July l to October 31, the supposed date of muster out, the privates will draw, less the issue, the sum of $3S.13. These amounts together with the two months' pay, September and October, will give the private between $60 and $75 each, net.
 The non-commissioned officers will draw from between $70 and $100. The commits stoned officers all draw two months pay, ranging in amounts between $20O and $500. It is estimated that at least $75.O00 will be required to pay off the Second regiment.
 Until the day of muster-out Colonel Cox said this morning that he would have provost detail in the city to pick up the troops, who escape the guard lines without passes.
