after its long and irksome trip of yes
terday. The weather is ,very nearly
perfect. the sanitary conditions excel
lent. the general health good. and
spirit of contentment and comfort per-
vades the entire regiment. Today was
passed in quiet, the only manoeuvers
for which the regiment was called out
being guard mount in the morning, and
a brigade dress parade at $50.

day the camp was thronged with
guests, a large number of excursions
having been run from Philadelphia, AL
lentown, Reading and other surround

one of the most enjoyable as well as
beneficial ones held in the history Of
the National Guard. Colonel w. j. Ell

llne correspondent this afternoon, and
in the course of short talk said:
81 am Highly pleased with the splen-
did totals, shown by the adjutant gen.
erals report. The figures on the whole
constitute better average than they
did at the division encampment, two
years ago. The Third brigade shows
up particularly WELL"
General Miller declined to discuss
any action which would be taken in
case of trouble at any Of the striking
collieres. The statement was however
given out from division headquarters.
that in case of any trouble the brigade
whose regiments came from the vicn-
ity where it occurred would be sent to
quell 1t.
Y May Be Called Out.
General Goblin has stated that he
would not be surprised If the Third
brigade were to be ordered to Carbon
county in case of further trouble there.
1t is practically assured that it will be
the Third brigade which will be or
dered to the field.
This morning General Goblin and staff
inspected the Thirteenth camp, and
this afternoon the general and officers
of the regiment enjoyed ride over
Gettysburg's battle fields.
All of last years cOldness between
General Miller and General Goblin has
vanished. The last chilly signs OF a
misunderstanding were brushed aside

Third brigade, accompanied by Major
w. s. Millar, of Scranton, his assistant
adjutant general, dashed up to division
headquarters in an automobile owned
by Captain Calvin Pardee, of the Fourth
