more encamped in ST. Paul, but not
in a tented field. The men are housed
III four buildings in the central part of
the city, and there they will remain
until the final roll call. The men be-
gan to arrive by the early morning
trains and they continued to come all
day.
The largest train load was the Oma-
ha special from Duluth, which brought
three companies. 1t was in charge or
George M. Smith, general agent OF the
Omaha at Duluth. The train arrived
a 2:15 O'Clock in the afternoon, having
made the run from Duluth in four
hours and forty-five minutes running
time.
Companies F, L and NJ arrived by
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific in the morning. Companies +
and M marched to the Market house
and L went to the Mannheimer build
ing on Third street AS soon as they
had deposited their blankets and ao-
coutrements, the men marched to the
Temperance coffee house and break
tasted.
Company M went to the New York
kitchen.
Company D, of Zumbrota, arrived on
the Milwaukee at 100 o'clock and
marched to the Manufacturer building:
Companies B, of Anoka, and <. OF
Long Prairie, arrived together on the
Great Northern at ABS p. m. 1t was
intended that Company A should be
quartered in the Market house, but the
building was already crowded and the
men were sent to Cretin hall. Com
pany l, of this city, is also housed IN
Cretin hall.
Company E, Of Merriam Park,
marched into the city in the afternoon
and took up lodgings in the Mann
heimer building and was followed

MORE ARRIVALS.
Companies E and G., of Duluth, are
in the armory and there also are the
members of the headquarters staff.
The men occupy the large drill room
and the staff officers the room of Com
pany M, of the First regiment.
The arrival of the soldiers did not
create much enthusiasm in the city
The familiar sight Of companies
marching through the streets had lost
its novelty, and there was little cheer
ing. 1t was not as when the men
went to what was thought to be the
battle fields. AS they marched through
the streets, the men showed that they
had lost none of their old-time swing.
1t was a steady tramp Of feet that
resounded on the pavements as they
marched along. Some of them wore
their army overcoats and others wore
citizens coats, while others were con-
tent to wear no overeoats, though the
weather was not particularly warm.
They marched to the buildings to
which they were assigned, and as soon
as possible they relieved themselves Of
their accoutrements and then went out
to see the town.
Capt. Bacon, of Company I, who was
in charge at Camp Van Duzee, was
asked to send to the several buildings
all the camp outfits left in his charge
when the men were furloughed and
during the afternoon several drays
loaded with arms, blankets and other
articles arrived, and the men discharg-
ed the loads as fast as they could. In
short time the floors of the buildings
were strewn and Uttered with all kinds
of camp outfits. Guns were stacked
along the walls and boxes were piled
in corners. Everything was distributed
indiscriminately. Guards were posted
at the entrances of the buildings with
instructions not to let civilians in un-
der any circumstances, under pain Of
being sent to the guard house, and
they all observed their orders.
ALL KINDS OF CONFUSION.
There was seven kinds Of confusion
In the Market house It was thought
four companies could be housed there
and the upper part Of the Wabasha
end of the building was reserved fol-
them but when the men got there
they found the place could not accom-,
modate more than two companies, so
1T was arranged to house two com,
pantes in Cretin hall. There the large

panies A and I will remain in Cretin
hall until the property of the fair at
the Market house is cleared away
They will then move to the Market
house.
Companies B and G found a big
empty floor awaiting them when they
arrived at the armory They decided
to take opposite sides OF the. floor to
sleep.
The members of the headquarters
staff pre-empted Company H room
and there they will make their head
quarters until the regiment is muster.

will receive sixty cents per day per

where four or five hundred soldiers are
to mess, has been divided into two
rooms, that for the soldiers being roped
off from the regular dining room and
draped with flags. The other restau,

The work Of making out the muster
rolls has been partly completed and IL
will not take as long to muster out
the men as was supposed. 1t ia
thought the men may be mustered ont
in about ten days. The physicians will
begin their physical examinations Of
the men tomorrow and this will be
completed during the week There IL
