Yesterday Was Much Warmer, and
as Result the Soldiers Were
More Comfortable - Seniority of
Non-Commissioned Officers Is An
nOunced by Col. DOrst-FOraSinS
PrOpensities POrtend Trouble.

Col. Dorst of the Forty-ffth regiment,
has been invited to participate with his
command in the parade at Minneapolis
Oct IL, in honor of President Mckinley
ana the return of the Thirteenth regi-
ment. 1t is expected that the regiment
will be fully organized and well under
arms by that time. Col. Dorst has not
said whether he will accept the invitation.
The camp of the Forty-fifth was honor
ed with several distinguished visitors yes
terday. A half dozen of the congressional
excursionists In charge of Congressman
Stevens called on Major Gerlach, at the
administration building, and were later
driver over to the camp of the Forty
fifth, where they were shown the camp,
by Col. Dorst, and witnessed the guard
mount.
The regiment will have its first muster
and review by It's commanding officers.
The men will be lined up on the drill
ground on the west side of the camp, and
every name checked as present or ac-
counted for on the rolls. Campaign hats,
blue blouses, trousers and leggins COM
pose the uniform that will be worn on this
parade. Col. Dorst will also inspect each
company.
Nothing definite has been received as
to the future movements of the regiment.
While the men are all we'll pleased with
the camp and its surroundings, all are
anxious to get started for the Philippines,
which will be the scene of future activi-
ties. What the regiment needs worse than
recruits just now is a few more officers.
All absent are accounted for ON recurit-
ing duty, and these comprise over one
half the commissioned officers. Of neces-
sity the brunt of the work has come upon
the few now at camp. The first call in
the morning is al 5 o'clock, and from
that until at night every one at the
camp is busy. Another drill has been add
ed to the progrom me, making in all five
daily drills. When nightfall comes there
is little inclination on the part of any to
try and evade the watchful eye Of the
guards. Every one turns in and, as the
lamps have not been issued, 10 o'clock
finds every one asleep.
The weather of yesterday was pleas
ing contrast to that of the day before
The wind occasioned no hardship and the
men all discarded their overcoats during
drill and guard mount. Another fire was
accidentally started yesterday, which was
discovered just in time. The dry grass
around one of the cook tents became
ignited, and spread to the drill ground
had the fire out.
A hundred or more recruits are expect
ed to arrive today from outside points.
AS the regiment is nearly full, recruiting
offlcers have been ordered to report, and
several are expected to reach here during
the day and a number more before Mon
day. A large squad is coming from In
annapolis tomorrow, comprising nearly a
whole company.
Strict rules nave been made prescribing
punishment fol any who do not report for
the drills unless either doing guard duty.

ayers, in fact last night it was reported
