in an across the table aside to Tom
Donnelly. "Well, they were missing,

AT CAMP ALGER.

The troops at Camp Alger are busy
discussing the prospect of moving. The
report that they are to be sent to Fer
naudina, Fla, is still unconfrmed, but
the men in the First Division, which
has been getting into shape very rapid
ly, are confident that some move will
be made before long.
A Washington morning paper says
1.-THE commission which was appoint
ed to investigate the new site south OF
Alexandria did not report at the time
ordered, as several were busy with
work which needed immediate atten-
ton. They left camp, however, in the
afternoon, and their report will be
made as soon as it can be formulated.
What the report will be is still matter
of conjecture, but it is known that some
of the members are opposed to the
change. 1t is asserted that the site
proposed is not healthful and would,
within short time, put large portion
of the command in the hospital with
malaria. o. the other hand the much
needed water supply would be in evil
dence, allowing the men to battle as fire.
quently as they wished. Springs are
being discovered every day at the pres
ent camp and the men are rapidly be-
ing furnished with new sources Of water
supply"
So far as known here no officers Wis
tied the lands below this city yesterday
evening. Mr.. M. B. Harlow, who rep
resents the owners of the lands to
which it has been suggested the camp
be removed, had an engagement yester'
day evening to escort the officers to
those lands, but they failed to come
here. This morning, however, he re-
ceived message from the War De-
partment saying the officers would be
here this evening. Mr.. Harlow has
made arrangements for showing them
the country south of this city, which is
elevated and we'll supplied with water
and which is we'll located for camp
grounds.
Again the authorities are raiding the
canteens, and yesterday afternoon it
was discovered that there had been but
little decrease in the sale OF liquor, the
only difference being that formerly beer
was sold in bottles, while now it is be-
ing struggled into camp by the keg.
Postmaster Willett, of Washington,
was on the grounds yesterday morning
arranging to establish a money order
division at the camp. 1t is stated that
the government intends to erect a build
ing for this purpose, but no move has
as yet been made in that direction.
Visitors swarmed through the camp
of the Third Virginia all day and sew
eral hundred visitors from Alexandria,
Falls Church and the surrounding
country were entertained.
Battalion drill in the Third Regiment
was held fol- the first time yesterday,
when companies K, NJ, G and G went
through battalion eyolutions under the
command oil Lieutenant Colonel kellar.
The drilling of the companies was very
good.
