MAY GO TO BULL RUN


Unless present plans mfscarry. the conn
bined maneuvers of the regular troops and
National Guardsmen next fall Will be held
on the historic battlefield Of Bull Run
Major General Corbin. commanding the At
1antic division. who favors the selection OF
Bull Run for this years mausuvers is quot
ed as follows on the subject:
Farmers Eager
1T is on the Southern, read near Manas-
sas Junction and only twenty miles from
tied, has plenty Of water and -isswelI wood
ed. We can get 1000 acres. which will meet
our demands for an area of. say fifteen by
thirty miles. The farmers nos Only do not
object to our coming, hut are eager to have
us come.
"A mass meeting was held EAST week at
Manassas Junction, at which complete ap-
proval was given to the plan proposed. The
farmers there will rent the land for 15 cents
an acre. Their crops are wheat corn, oats
and hay, and they don't think we can do
much harm when fall is wen under way.
Proposed for September.
'The only stipulation they make is that
we cannot go there until after September
25. Now don't like that. as that is pretty
late for the city regimenta. fear, on ac-
count Of the autumn business being well
under way, but from climatic point of
view that date is IDEAL In fact, 1 should
rot like the men to go there much earlier
on account of the heat. In aate September
the weather is perfect in that section and
know the men would enjoy their expert
enee. There is an abundance of excellent
water throughout the section, and the roll
ing character of the landscape makes the
scenery enchanting at that time. However,
when things get along little further per-
haps We may be able to get there earlier"
What regular troops would you expect to
have there?"
about 6,0O0. There would be heavy ar
tiliery from posts on he Potomac and Fort
Monroe, cavalry from Fort Myer, Va. and
light artillery from Fort M5er The infan-
try would come from the garrisons at Madi-
son barracks, Plattsburg barracks, Fort
Slocum, Atlanta, and other posts on and
near the coast, all being within a days jour-
ney.
Over $4,000 Hen.
"As to the state troops, OF course, can
only speculate, as do not know what final
decision the states will arrive at until the
site is permanently selected5 There are,
roughly speaking, 14,OQ0 guardsmen in New
York and $3.50 in Pennsylvania. These two
states alone, if there were q fair turnout,
with the regulars, would furnish 25,D00 men,
while the brigade of the District of Colum-
bia, the militia of yirsinias West Virginia,
North Carolina, Maryland, delaware, New
Jersey and Connecticut wluld give us a
maneuvering force of between $4,000 and
10000 men, the largest army ever in war
game in America
The country near Msns ssas lends itself
splendidly to all the work we would want
to do, and the Manassas river would furnish
excellent opportunities fog pontoon and
bridge building. 1t is mE belief that the
lessons received from such a mammoth war
game would be invaluable to the state as
we'll as the regular troops"

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS
Will Put Up Candidates in Every Dis
trict This Year.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va, March 23.-All of the
present representatives in Congress from
Virginia will have opposition in their party
for denomination this summer, and this
even applies to Col. Campbell Slemp, the
only republican in Congress at the present
time from Virginia.
Heretofore the republicans have only
made congressional nominations in certain
Virginia districts, but this year they have
determined to put up candidates in every
district of the state, and the campaign in
the old dominion promises to be one of the
most exciting in many years.
There are aspirants galore, and the in
ternal dissension among the democrats In
several of the districts may make the cleo
ton very uncertain. 1t is recognized that
there is very substantial republican vote
in Virginia at the present time, and there
are fears in some democratic quarters that
the republicans of Virginia will have sew
eral representatives in the Fifty-ninth
Congress.
