PROBABLE CHANGES
A New Complexion Placed on Dis
trict Regiment Reception Plans.
OMISSION OF The PROPOSED ESCORT
General Sentiment That the SOL
diers' Views Should Be Met.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST

The announcement from Col George H.
Harries, made public today, that he de-
sired that the 1st District Volunteer Regi-
rent nder his command, should return to
Washir gton and march through the city
streets as it did when II went to the front,
without an escort, will most probably have
the effect of entirely changing the plans
for the reception now under consideration.
The general opinion throughout the city
this morning was heartily in favor of &C
oeding to the wishes of Col. Harries in
this regard, as 1t Nas universally felt that
he represented the views of his men on
this subject, as ne does On all others.
II had already developed that the pro-
posed escort was going to grow to unex-
pected proportions and that moving as IT
necessarily would at the front of the re-
turning heroes. would require long wait
on the part of the latter at the proposed
point OF Decentralization at Sd street and
Virginia avenue southwest, and compel the
volunteers to undergo fatigue which, in
their present condition, would be at least
uncomfortable, If not absolutely harmful.
Then. again, there had been considerable
discussion about the participation as part
of the escort of the District National
Guard, which 1t was thought would neces-
sSrily be ordered out for the purpose. II
vas developed that the National Guard
RAD nettner arms nor QnilOrHS, ann mus q
very important part of the local militia
forces would have been at grave disad-
vantage.
Prevailing Opinion.
Col. Dan Grosvenor, himself an old SOL
der and a brother of Representative Gros-
venor of Ohio, voiced the sentiment found
by The Star reporters to be largely pre-
vailing when he said there should be nc
question about respecting the wishes OF
Col Harries in the premises.
II think the suggestion of having an es-
cort was wrong in the first place" he said
THE best escort our brave boys could have
will be the cheering crowds of citizs rs wbC
will line the sidewalks from start to finiSf
of the march. There should be nothing tC
distract public attention for a moment
from the returning heroes, who have rep
resented so thoroughly the national capita
at the front"
