out of the basement of the capitol He
says that although il viii be necessary to
give up the room il now occupies he
hopes TO make arrangements by which the
quarters of some of the other military or
CARNATIONS may be shared. There
are about twenty-eight members of
the battery who did pot join the vol
unteer artillery with Capt. Bradley.
About equal number entered the Unit

terry at the declaration of hostilties for
the purpose of going to war, and are not
Interested in the recovery of the money in
Capt, Bradleys keeping. Capt. Bradley's
friends say he Is merely holding the
money as he has a right to do 1t is
as safe in his hands, they declare as il
would be anywhere else.
