OF the Thirteenth decided that on October
the brave men from the north state
would lay down their military burden
and leave the service The date of the

delegates from the Twin Cities had con-
suited with Gen. Shafter. The delega-
tions Informed Gen. Shafter that the
| earnest desire of the regiment and the
| state of Minnesota was that the regiment

PLANS DISCUSSED.
This morning a meeting was held in
the headquarters of the st. Paul Com
mercial club at the Occidental hotel at
which Mayor Gray presided, and which
was attended by all the members of the
Twin City delegations. The question of
asking that the muster out be deferred
until Oct. or was fully discussed, the
prevailing sentiment being against such
action being taken. All the delegates
have had chance to confer with both
officers and men, and they have ascer-
tained that every one is opposed TO any
more delay than is absolutely necessary.
1t was finally decided to ask that the
muster cut be set not later than Oct l,
and Messrs. S. B. Lovejoy and Jesse
Gregg were named a committee to lay
the request before Col. Jocelyn. When
the colonel was waited on at his Office,
he explained that it would be impossible
Tor the necessary preparations to be
made before Oct. 2, as there is a vast
amount of work now on the hands of the
paymasters and other officials. 1t was
then asked that Oct. be named and this
was acceded to.
The date of the muster out of the
South Dakota regiment has not yet been
definitely fixed, but it will probably be
set for Oct 5.

drove into the Minnesota camp with a
cavalry escort, bringing sacks of gold

$3.50 each. The men will get no more
