Columbus, o., Sept. 28.-There is dis
appointment in the ranks of the Ohio
national guard, for the Buckeye
troops will not go to New York TO
participate in the reception to Ad-
miral Dewey. All arrangements had
been completed for the Fourth and
Fifth regiments, Battery B, and unat-
tached companies at Urbana, Whining
ton and Middletown to go, but when
the men gathered at their respective
headquarters they were greeted with
the announcement that the trip was
off, the decision having been arrived
at late Tuesday night. The explana-
ton is given in the following order
issued by Adjt.-Gen. Axline:
Information has just been received
that the auditor of state will refuse
to honor vouchers against the state
for the New York trip. For this rea-
son, orders providing for state allow
ance of $40 per man are revoked
The orders providing for the trip
had been issued under authority of
Gov. Bushnell. The local regiment,
the Fourth, is greatly chagrined, as
they have no time to arrange the trip
on their own responsibility.
