No Sfnte Encnmpment.

Instead of a state encampment the
state military board decided Wednes
day, with the approval of Gov. Bliss
to take the entire brigade to West
Point, Ky, in October, for the nianeu-
vers under the auspices of the secrc-
tary of war 1t is the understanding
that the federal government will pay
for the transportation of the troops
from their home stations. will furnish
the rations, and pay the men at the
rate of Sl3 a month. 1t Will devolve
upon the state to make up the differ
ence between this pay and the states
usual allowance of S1.2J a day. The
board decided to order khaki uniforms
for the entire Michigan National
