Since his arrival in Wheeling, Gen.

two propositions for the disposition of
the troops upon Thursday of this week,
when the funeral of the late President
takes place in Canton.
One plan was to have them particle
pate in memorial service at the Fair

tc Canton. The former plan has been
agreed upon. Speaking of the sugges-
ton for the Canton trip General Smith
said to a Register Representatives:

able. Were it otherwise, | would be

The soldiers were required to per-
