is at present without band, the term
of enlistment of the members of the
regular regimental band having eX-

The officers of the regiment are very

VISITORS IN CAMP.
Now that the work of laying out the
camp has been practically completed,
the strict orders against admitting
visitors within the guard lines have
been very much relaxed. The officer of
the guard has been granted the privi-

to the admission of decent appearing,
orderly persons, and yesterday sew
eral hundred were allowed to visit the
camp. There is no rule against the
admission of women, but all foreigners
are kept outside.
Major Holmes, commander of the
Second battalion of the Eighth regi-

in keeping the men in line.
"These stories are absolutely un-
true" said he, land have been circu-

If there was any disorder it was of
such Il. trivial nature that no report of

Colonel Watres' patrols brought in
no word of any bother, the coal COM
panies offices had nothing to give out
about disturbances and none of The
Tribune's correspondents communicate
ed anything that bore the semblanCe
of lawlessness.
Only one call was made on the Thir-
| teenth yesterday. and that proved to
he Il fake. About 8 o'clock word was
telephoned to camp that Il crowd Of
strikers congregated at the Delaware
and Hudson bridge near the Providence
station. was intercepting workmen
bound to and from the Marvine. A de-
tail of ten men from Company ID, in
command of Lieutenant Russell, was
hurried to the scene on the troop train.
Arrived at the bridge the soldiers en-
counterod three young men and a
couple of small boys sitting on the
side of the railroad bank having a
chat Two of the three youths are
non-union employees of the West Ridge
collery and the third is working at the
Delaware and Hudson round house in
Green Ridge. They and others from
the neighborhood who was attracted
by the coming of the soldiers averred
positively there aad been no crowd at
the bridge any time during the day
and as far as was known no workman
had even passed that way.
ONLY A FEW IDLERS.
Police Lieutenant Palmer and Pa
trolnan Ross corroborated these aver
ments. They had visited the locality
several times and saw no one about
except Il few idlers in or about the
swing in the adjacent Frear's grove.
The police We're very much exercised
at the troops being called into the city.
Patroiman Ross, who has been doing
duty each morning and evening at the
Marv'ne, stated that there never was
any large crowd around the Marvine
until the troops began coming there.
Now a big crowd flocks to the scene
every time the troops put in an appear
ance.
