which occurred last night at the. Ar

erick D. Grant and General J. Franklin
Bell, 10Th of whom CHANGED to arrive
in the city on the same evening and
met at the same hotel. These are
the two generals who will lead the op-

when fifteen thousand men on either
side will fight over again the battle OF
Bull Run. General Grant will com
mand the army Of the "Blues," or the
strive to win the victory with the men
clad in khaki, or the army known as
the Browns"
The meeting of the officers, it is
said, was totally unexpected, but they
have always been on friendly terms,
and in spite Of the keen rivalry hat
will exist between them when the
mimic war begins they will not allow
any harsh feeling to disturb their
friendship. .--
The scene at the Arlington was an
interesting one to many who Witnessed
it. General Grant, who is the com.

accompanied by Mrs. Grant, who
