While a great crowd of people came here
yesterday from all over the State to visit
Camp Mount, the attendance was not up
to that of the first Sunday the soldiers spent
in the city by five thousand or six thousand
according to official figures of the move
ment of special trains. There were nine
special trains moving in twenty-one Sec
tons, hauling two hundred and twenty-one
coaches. Taking an average of eighty pas
sengers to the coach this would indicate
that the passengers brought on these spe-
Gals numbered II $50. The estimate for the
Sunday before was 81 500. Neither figure
included the passengers coming on the regu-
lar trains.
AS on the previous Sunday, the objective
point yesterday was Camp Mount. Much
better arrangements had been made for
handling the crowds, and most of the I'M
pleasant features that out-of-town visitors
encountered a week ago were obviated by
better management on the part of the
street-car company and by the fact
that the Monon officials put on half
hour special trains for the camp. There
We're two trains of nine coaches each
This arrangement relieved the strain on
the street-ear company. and yet there
was enough business to justify it for
the extra efforts that were made for the
safety and comfort Of the crowds. AT the
camp the company, profiting by it's woeful
experience of the week before, had a large
force or road officers and officials, backed by
large squad of police, to handle the crowds
A row OF blue-coated members of the police
force lined up at the edge of the platform
to warn passengers not to crowd and by
IhlS arrangement accidents were avoided.
Persons who had fought and struggled to
get aboard the street-cars last Sunday COM
plimented the company on the excellent way
In which things were managed yesterday
After the grand dress parade the rush of
passengers for down town found a long
string of trains waiting OH the loop with
many others sidetracked. For an hour
train after train, hauled up, and in a mo-
ment was bound for town. There was
scarcely any delay, and the passengers,
seeing that they We're in no danger of get
ting left, took things calmly There was
large patronage of the Monon special
trains, tickets good from the Union Station
70 the camp and return selling for Is cents.
Many preferred to pay the extra cents to
getting IN the street-car jams.

CROWDS AT CAMP.
Yesterday Brought Another Big
Crush of Visitors.

The soldiers at Camp Mount lost their
identity in the crowds of visitors yesterday,
except that given by their uniforms. or the
authority vested in the guards, which was
not exercised except in the case Of those
who paced to and fro at the entrance to
brigade headquarters or the regimental
guards when one of the soldiers attempted
to pass through the lines without permit.
The boys in blue strolled through the camp
with their acquaintances among the Wis
itors or sat with them on the grass in the
shade. In fact, the camp assumed the APP
pearance more of picnic ground THANH
military rendezvous. The cries of the vend-
ers of refreshments added to this appear
ance Hundreds of the visitors had inspect
ed the camp at some previous day since its
organization, and, therefore, the curiosity
to observe how and where the soldiers are
quartered was much less than it was the
Sunday before.
In the middle of the Afternoon the crowd
had grown almost as large as it was the
Sunday before The railroads unloaded
long trains of cars at the camp and at the
Union Station in the city, and the street
cars were packed, though there was an al
most continuous stream of them pulling up
at the street-railroad station at the fair
grounds entrance. Those whose business it
was TO check bicycles had their hands full
The visitors who but casually inspected
the camp found little change from the Sun
day before. The boys had worn into the
camp routine as the sentries paths were
worn into the ground. and the talk of the
incidents of the camp was less, because
sufficient time had elapsed TO make them
everyday occurrences which had become a
part of their life. Many of the visitors had
brought to the soldiers lunches, which va
ried the meals of the day, and which were
heartily enjoyed as relief from the regular
fare. One of the artillery boys telephoned
to his home to have sent to him some ice
cream and other delicacies in order that
Sunday might appear not to be the same
as every other day.
A greater proportion of the visitors yes

Sunday before and, where a greater part

THE GOVERNORS VIEW.
Governor Mount was asked last night
what he thought about the effect of the
order on McKee's chances. He said:
Il do not think It will affect General Nc
KEGS chances for appointment 1t is likely
that the troops may be separated. The
other two regiments and the remaining
battery may be ordered to another rem
devious, but ! do not believe this will be
the case. But even If the regiments are
separated that ought not to affect General
McKee's appointment. His qualifications
remain the same. He is the superior of
many of the regular army officers in train
ing and experience. He is a graduate of
military school, and has spent twenty-nine
years in the soldier business and during
this time has had some active experience
more valuable than that had by two-thirds
of the army officers. The request for Gem
eral Mchee's appointment is made on ac
count or the fitness of the man to command,
and not merely because it is the desire of
the Indiana soldiers to have him at their
ments We're scattered about in various COM
mands and saw service in all the cam
palgns. No, / do not believe General Nc
Kee's appointment will fail on account of
this new order. I still believe he will be
made brigader general. The order simply
requires us to exert ourselves on the two
regiments in order to get them into the
field at once
Governor Mount received another tele-
gram yesterday from the quartermaster
general at Washington asking if Indiana
had more tents than would be necessary for
her troops: A few days ago the secretary
or war asked that the Indiana troops be
supplied with tents as far as the supply here
would go, and stated that the government
would pay for them. A reply was sent to
Washington giving the number of tents
mere 1t was q big figure, but the common
tents, which are in the largest number,
are large enough only for two men,
and the supply is not sufficient by about
half for the four regiments and two bat
teries. The Governor learns that there will
be just about enough of the tents for the
two regiments and battery which shall go
on this call. and they will be assigned to
the first two regiments

\ The Governor yesterday wired the War
Department, in reply to its dispatch con-
corning the movement of two regiments to
Chickamauga. The reply stated that two
regiments would be mustered in to-day and
be ready to move whenever the govern
ment provided equipment. The Governor
telegraphed the department Immediately
after the troops were brought here that
they were ready to be mustered in when
ever it was desired by the War Depart
ment All the delay that has been caused
has been on the part of the federal govern
ment itself.

NUMBERS INCREASING.
Yesterdays Reports showed 4,554 Men
I'm Camp.


A confrmatory dispatch, in relation to
the one sent Saturday by the War Depart
ment and concerning the organization of
the hospital corps, was received yesterday
by the Governor. Surgeon General Stern
berg wires that volunteers will be spe-
cially enlisted for the hospital corps, and
these will be in addition to the State S
quota. For the hospital corps says Sur
geon Sternberg, there will be five stewards.
five assistants and 12l privates. He asked
that the surgeon general nominate men for
appointment to these places. AS there is no
such officer in the Indiana service, the duty
of recommending these appointments will
probably devolve on Col. William NJ.
