END TO EVANSVILLE.
War Department Has No Intention of
Changing Rendezvous.

The little breeze that was raised because
Evansville was not recognized as the rem
devious for the Indiana troops has died
out. The matter was settled quite definite
ly yesterday afternoon when Governor
Mount received the following telegram from
Adjutant General H. C. Corbin, at Wash
ington: There is no intention to remove
the rendezvous from Indianapolis"
A further telegram from Washington
later in the day explains the mistake made
by the War Department in naming Evans
vile as the point of rendezvous. While
Lieut.. Defrees, u. S. A, was detailed for
duty in Indiana in 1896, the department d-
rected an inquiry to him as to the best
place in the State for concentrating the
troops for service outside of the State.
He suggested Evansville. The Bureau of
Military Information at Washington, APP
parently unmindful of the fact that the
troops were not to be concentrated for the
purpose of marching TO an adjoining State.
followed the suggestion of Lieut.. DefreeS,
which probably was never intended to be
followed on such an occasion as the pres
ent one. The telegram further added that
the error made in Washington was entirely
inadvertent. There was no intention what
ever to disregard the Governors wish or
cause him any annoyance. The War De-
partment recognized that the Governor had
entire authority over the of the
troops while they were a part of the Ma
tional Guard, and previous to the mastering
into the federal service.

Location of the Regiments.

Visitors to Camp Mount to-day from a
distance who may nave a desire to call on
their friends among the soldiers will prob
ably be interested in a knowledge of the
location of the various regiments. The First
regiment is quartered just north of the
race track, in close proximity to the large
red barns. Just east of them, close TO the
Lake Erie & Western tracks, is located the
Fourth Regiment. The Third Regiment is
quartered i'll the buildings on the east side
OF the driveway leading from the main
entrance, the officers quarters being in
tents located inside the exhibition pavilions
on the west side of the driveway. The Sec
ond Regiment occupies the Horticultural
building and Fine Arts Hall and several
minor buildings adjacent at the west end of
the first cross driveway from the main en-
trance. The quar- ers of the officers are in a
picturesque log hut adjacent to the Horti-
cultural building. The artillery camp is To-
Gated east of the new street railway loop.
and is reached from the gateway leading
across the tracks from the Journals head

HEALTH or THE CAMP.
Two More Cases of MeasIes-Strict
Quarantine Measures.

Col. William NJ. Wright, chief of the Hos
pltal Corps, has placed Major Conde's bat
TALON OF the Second Regiment under strict
quarantine and has. quartered them In the
pavilion west of the main entrance, the
sides of which have been closed with tar
paulin and in which they win be isolated.
The uniforms, bedticks and utensils of the
will be disinfected and sterilized
and all the straw used for bedding has been
burned. BY these means it is hoped to
stamp out the further progress Of the cpl
demic of measles. Two new cases were re-
ported yesterday morning and were sent to
the City Hospital for treatment. They were

Regiment. In the course of his investiga-
tons Colonel Wright has traced the origin
OF the disease to Winchester. where there

and he has taken every precaution to isolate
the members of the company from that city
and hopes TO prevent a further spread.

Great crowds are expected in the city to-
day. and nearly all of the railroads have
arranged for extra cars to carry the people.
Most of the roads will put on from ten to
sixty extra cars on their different divisions.
Reports from local agents indicate that
probably 1900 people will arrive during the
day on extra and special trains. This num-
Der, in addition to the strangers that come
in on the regular trains, will doubtless
swell the crowd to 10000 or more.
Police Superintendent Quigley slast night
detailed several sergeants and half the
night force of patrolmen to report for duty
at IL o'clock to-day to be assigned to duty
in handling the crowds. This force, with
the detectives, will be at Camp Mount.
A serious question was raised as 10
whether the street car company would be
able to handle the people, but Superin-
tendent Elliott asserted the arrangements
were annie.

THE PROGRAMME TO-DAY.
No Men to Leave Camp-The Religious
Services.

No special preparations nave been made
at Camp Mount to handle the crowds that
will assemble at the camp to-day from the
city and all over the State, but special or
ders have been issued to protect the militia.
No vehicles will be allowed in the grounds
and no visitors will be allowed within the
regimental guard lines, except those who
may get permits from the regimental COM
rnanders. General Mckee urges that such
permits be issued in as small numbers as
possible. When the visitors arrive they will
find the quarters protected with guard
lines and strict regulations placed upon
their actions. General Mckee has directed
that the camp be kept as quiet as possible,
and no boisterous action will be tolerated.
At half-past 10 o'clock the regiments will
assemble at appointed places near their
respective quarters for the first religious
service that will have been held since the
camp was established. The services at the
quarters of the First Regiment will be con-
Quoted by its chaplain, Rev. j.. w. Cloakey,
of New Albany, assisted by Chaplain f. O.
Jensen, chaplain of the Second Regiment,
will address the men in the west half OF
the amphitheater. Colonel Studebaker. OF
the Third Regiment, intends to ask one of
the preachers of Indianapolis to come out to
the camp and address his men in the after
noon, the chaplain of the regiment, Rev. s.
w. Goss, of South Bend, having resigned
and gone home. Rev; Wexford .. Weaver;
chaplain of the Fourth Regiment, will hold
services at the regimental headquarters,
and will be assisted by Company c. which
will lead the choir of the whole regiment:
Rev. Mr.. Weaver is the superintendent of
the Marion public schools, but left his
charge to go to the front with the Fourth
Regiment.
1t was at first urged on General Mckee
that Sunday at the camp should be given
over to the boys for rest and quiet, and that
the army of visitors should be entirely ex-
cluded. The general, however, after much
consideration, decided that as it would
probably be the last chance the friends and
parents of the boys would have of visiting
them, it would be the better course to allow
the visitors to enter the camp, though
closely bound by restrictions.
1t is expected that the mastering into the
regular RAINY will begin this week, and 1t
1t pointed out that the camp will be IN
charge of the officers of the federal army
and under federal rules, which provide that
no one shall enter camp without a permit.
Most of the officers living in Indianapolis
had made arrangements to take dinner with
their families to-day, but last night Gen.
Mckee issued an order that no passes per-
hitting officers or men to leave camp would
be issued for to-day. There was sadness
all down the line as a consequence.

ALMOST UNLIMITED FUNDS.
Military Law Enable the Governor to
Draw on the Treasury.

Governor Mount was to lave taken up
the consideration of financial plans yester-
day, and requested Mr.. Volney T. Malott,
president of the Indiana National Bank, to
call on him. Mr.. Malott came while the
Governor was out, however, and the matter
went over till Monday. Attorney General
Ketcham has been asked to give an opinion
as to whether the $4G0, 600 which will be in
the state treasury July 1, and which was
to be used in taking up state bonds, would
be available for military purposes. 1t has
been the Governors opinion that this money
could be used. The attorney general was
inclined to doubt this at first, but upon
looking up the military law he was sur
prised to find that ar extremely broad pro-
vision had been inserted in the bill, and
that there are all sorts of possibilities under
1t. AT first glance it seems that the Gov
ernor can have almost resources
at his command and can find a great sum
to draw on from the state treasury. State
Treasurer Sholz did not think the $500, 900
could be used for purposes other than pay
statutes, provides for the calling out of
the state militia, and the pay of the men
and subsistence, and concludes as follows:
And whenever such state services have
been rendered, the state auditor shall draw
warrants on the state treasurer, who shall
pay the same out of any sums not other
wise appropriated" There is always a large
sum in the state treasury mot otherwise APP
propriated," and the settlement in May will
bring several hundred thousand dollars
more to the treasury.
The attorney general said he preferred
to wait over night before giving an opinion.
While it seemed that the Governor had
unusually large powers under this statute,
a precedent would be so important that the
attorney general wished TO examine the
question very thoroughly. The 100000 to be
used in paying off bonds, the interest on
which is under 4 per cent. If the Governor
could draw on this money instead of bor-
higher than 4 per cent, the State would
save a considerable sum.

Rcachdale company. which will be the
heaviest loser. has made all arrangements
to have additional men sent down from
who will be sent home. 1t is expected that
all the regiments Win be more or less sim
Ilarly decimated, though perhaps not to
the same extent. In his order the general
made it clear TO all the men that only vol
unteers were wanted and that no compul-
sion IN any sense was thought of by either
the State or federal government. Ii was
stated by members of the First Regiment
that a majority of the men who left vol
unfairly did so because their family obi
cations were of too serious a character to
be ignored. The report from Battery E, Of
Fort Wayne. indicates that one man desires
to be relieved from duty, and he will be
sent home. No official reports from the
other regiments will likely be made until
Monday on this subject.

Will Banquet General Mckee.

The members of the hospital corps have
arranged to banquet General Mckee in the
officers quarters, in the hospital build
ing. 1t is expected that what the table
may lack in elegant appointments will be
made up in hearty appetites and choice
viands. The leading spirit in the affair will
be Col. William M. Wright, and the corps
will participate to the extent of twenty-five
men. The table will be improvised from
one of the officers cots, which will be cov-
cred with the company towels and napkins.
AS arranged now, the menu will consist of
roast veal and roast, beet, several kinds Of
pie, coffee a la bootleg, angel food and
strawberries. 1t is expected that several
timely toasts will be proposed and respond

MIR. HARRISON IN WASHINGTON.
President WIFI Locate Him-He Rep
resents the Governor.

A telegram last night from the Journals
Washington correspondent says:
Russell Harrison will remain in Wash
ington several days. He will represent Gov
ernor Mount before the War Department,
and will look after such matters as may
arise bearing on the equipment of the In
diana volunteers and their preparations for
active service. Many Of these details can
be attended to better by an agent on the
spot than at long range by the Governor.
With some one on and who is acquainted
with the local situation and local require
ments, and who can personally explain de-
tails, the war office can act more intelli-
gently and with great promptitude than
would be possible otherwise. Mr.. Harrison
is especially equipped for this duty. The
President is looking about for a place to
put the ex-President's son, and will prob
ably locate him. Russell Harrison is keep
ing himself modestly in the background, and
has told the President that he will cheer
fully discharge any duty to which he may
be assigned. He can be of use in many
military ways, having learned civil en-
cheering, graduated from a military school
(that of Pennsylvania), spent four years in
the Pennsylvania militia, organized the mi
litia of Montana, and is specially qualified
for the handling of accounts: President
Mckinley is impressed with HarTison's
manliness and his indisposition to crowd
himself forward by crowding other men
aside.-a weakness prevalent among sons of
great men. He Is sincerely anxious to rem
der his country service, and will be given
4 chance"

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENCASTLE, Ind. April 90.-Lieut.
S. v. Ham. who has been at the head Of the
De Paw military department, was called
to Columbus, o., this morning, where he
has been appointed quartermaster of the
Ohio National Guard, with headquarters at
Columbus. Lieutenant Ham was an appli-
cant for a position with the troops of his
own State and would have preferred to
accompany them, but the position in the
Ohio state troops is one of much response
bility and falls to one who has the ability
and energy to fill it. Lieutenant Hams
cadet friends at De Paw called out the
students at midnight last night and gave
him a serenade. to which he made a speech.
He expects to return here in the fall.

FARING WELL IN RATIoNs.
Soldiers Now Compliment Quarter
maAfer,s DEPARTMENT


Those soldiers who were loudest in COM
planning of dereliction in the quartermaster
generals department early in the week are
now the loudest in p~raising the manner in
which that office is providing for the inner
soldier. The quality of food served is ex-
cellent and the quantity is ample. This is
a statement made by officers and men who
came in from Camp Mount yesterday after
noon. Captain George w. Bigler, of Terre
Haute, was one who took occasion during
the day to compliment the quartermaster
generals department. He said the quality
of beef and other supplies sent to the camp
was as good as any he had ever seen. He
thought the boys were being much better
fed than at any state encampment which he
has attended in the past. a good supply
of vegetables has also been provided. There
Will be no extra dinner served to-day by
virtue of the character of the day. The
medical officers discourage the thoughtful
ness of parents and friends who are sending
pastries and other light foods to the camp.
The men are being trained to live on a very
will materially aid their comfort when they
reach the seat of war. Pie was never
known to teach a mar to endure hardships.
While 1850 ratiOnS a day are being served,
this figure is largely nominal, for allowance
is made for the fact that the men have just
come from civil walks of life and the rations
are very liberal for each man.
The quartermaster generals department
has been under a severe strain for a week,
IN the first day or two it being necessary
to add nearly a hundred men to the pay
roll. The office staff now has four extra
men, The adjutant general has had a SOL

When it comes time to figure on equipment
for q new National Guard, after the brigade
has gone to the front, a large item of ex-
pense will confront the State, reimburse

duplicate the equipment of the present
guard. This will include uniforms. The
State will have no. more new uniforms made
for members of tie brigade in camp, as it
is expected the government will look after
this. 1t has usually taken the State about
three weeks to get uniforms for a single
