that the Missouri troops are not likely
to be ordered into active service at all
unless better progress is made in the
next few days in mastering in the

said yesterday:

among the number are Missouri and Kansas. !
have been assured from time to time that the
troops were ready for muster at a moments
notice, but with few exceptions these state
ments have been misleading. At the hour Of
closing the department the muster rolls showed
that Missouri had but four officers and ll9 men,
while Kansas has not as yet made any report
