Ready to Receive Them.

The general plan will be in the
hands of a committee of former MEM
bers of Company A, headed by Capt.
DcDOnald. and including former lieu
tenants William Stewart and Charles
Ramskill. 1t is proposed to give the
returning soldiers a rousing dem
onstration, but it will be as informal
as possible under the circumstances.
Realizing the anxiety that the boys
will feel to get to their homes and
that of relatives to greet them, there
will be from present indications no
long speeches at the time of their ar
rival. The streets will be decorated,
the returning troops met at the de-
pot and escorted to Market square or
other convenient place where Mayor
Medill will say few words of greet
ing and welcome, to which Maj.
Channon will be expected to respond.
Then the ceremonies will be over. A
few days later it is proposed to give
the boys a banquet, when there will be
an opportunity for flow of oratory
and for the boys to tell of their eX-
periences.
The plans of the war department
announced yesterday were to give re-

A Moutauk Point, n. Y, special to
Yesterdays Chicago Record says that
Yesterday afternoon Col. Fosters 9th
Illinois regiment, fresh from the victO-
ries of Porto Rico, came into the bay
aboard the transport Peoria. a
Tribune dispatch from Porto Rico,
however, speaks of the 9th Illinois
and 9th Massachusetts, the companion
regiments since the establishment of
Camp Alger. as being still up in the
mountains remote from Ponce and of
the delay that would attend 4 removal
to the latter place for embarkation,
owing to their shoeless condition.
The Times-Herald speaks of the
arrival of the 9th as apparen tly un-
expected. While arrangements We're
being made at the Fifth avenue hotel
to care for the 1st Illinois, news was
received that the 9th Illinois was on
the Peoria. I'VE must take the same
care of the 9th that we do of the 1st, -
was the conclusion reached. The
Time-Herald says further: The
men on the Peoria-the 9th Illinois
are likely to be in worse condi-
ton than those of the 1st, as it is
known that they were not in the best
of health when they boarded their
ship"
These conflicting reports. while natur-
ally causing much uncertainty in Rock
Island as to the present actual where
abouts of the boys, had the general
effect of reawakening enthusiasm and
the movement to prepare for the proper
reception of the boys took definite
shane this morning.
