Under Former Conditions.
Nothing so far has been attempted by
the federal government towards the re-
equipment of the national guard. Secre-
tary Root is still at work on the regula-
tions to be drawn up governing the ma
ional militia. and it begins to look as
though nothing will be done before the
annual encampment, and in all probability
the state troops will go into camp under
the same conditions as last year.
The Third regiment and battalion of ar
tillery will probably reach camp early in
June. The Second regiment will follow
during the latter part Of June, and the
First regiment will go in shortly after the
Fourth of July-probably on July g.

Charges Against Captain.
Charges of falsifying his annual en-
campment report were recently brought
against Captain Henry Larson, Battery
A. st. Paul. and the board of inquiry, con-
ssting of Captain G.. C. Bennett and LIEU
tenant N. P. Nelson, Minneapolis and
Captain M. E. r. Toltz, st. Paul, will ex-
anime the charges on Friday. Owing to
the fact that the man preferring them
was recently court-martialed for non-at-
tendance at drill, it is thought that spite
may have prompted them.
