frgidity, as neither of the officers
showed any inclination TO recognize
the other. Article 420 of the army
regulations says visiting officer, If he
IL of higher rank than the commander
OF the post, must send his card and
then the post commander will pay him
an official visit.
Sent No Card.
General Miller sent no card, and
General Goblin did not visit him.
When the governor came into camp
with Mrs. Stone, General Goblin and
his staff were at the train TO meet
them. The governors troop acted
as escort. and the battery fired
the customary salute. When the car
riage containing the governor arrived
at headquarters the governor alightcd
and stood under the tent fly General
Miller was on his left and General
Goblin had dismounted and stood close
by talking to some of the division staff
officers. There was not the slightest
sign of any exchange of courtesy be-
tween the two generals, although they
were within three feet of each other,
ride through camp was decided upon
and Governor Stone, General Miller,
General Goblin and Colonel Elliott ocCu-
pied seats in the carriage. General
Goblin faced General Miller and Colonel
Elliott sat opposite the governor The
two generals did not exchange a word.
General Goblin today said he had paid
to General Miller all the courtesy that
the regulations required and added:
THE only word that / received from
| General Miller is an insulting interview
| that he gave out to a newspaper yes
| terday. He gave me no time to do
| anything, but took it for granted that
| his welcome would not be u warm one
| am perfectly right in my position and
the general might study his rules and
regulations a little
Refused to Talk.
When General Miller's attention was
called to the army rule calling for the
sending OF card. he replied that the
commander of the brigade had been
properly notified of his coming. Asked
whether he had the right to order re-
view Of the brigade before him. the
general referred To Adjutant General
Stewart and he in turn referred it
back to the major general. Neither
would answer the question.
| The regiment arose good and carly
Wednesday morning and ate mess at
| 5:45 O'Clock in order to be ready for
the reGimental drill called for e o'clock

Many dizzy rumorS preceded the ar
rival Of General Miller and spccuationS
We're many and wild as to what would
occur when General Goblin met the
man, whose place many claim should
be occupied by the Third Brigade $
commander The day passed however
without any clash between the two
generals.

parade grounds about one quarter of
a mile from the Thrteenth's camp and
