Capital visitors-NcW Corporations

The matter of the participation of
the Maine National Guard in a war
game during the coming summer or
fall is still unsettled as to it's details.
Acknowledgement Farnham has re-
c"ivcd Il letter from GENERAL Corbin
commanding that department in the
East, " no writes that the possibility of
the proposed maneuverS depends upon
the availability of funds, and the sccur-
ing Of a suitable site, both conditions
being as yet undetermined. The mat
ter of funds rests with Congress, and
it remains to be seen how much of an
appropriation that body will see fit TO
make. The matter of a suitable site
rests with the war department, and
steps to secure enc are being taken.
General Corbin writes that, if the pro-
posed maneuvers are held, he wants
the Maine National Guard to partici
pate in them.
General Chaffee, head Of the regular
army, has recommended to the secrc-
tary of war that the Conewago valley
in Pennsylvania be male the scene of
The m"neuvcrs in the East during the
coming summer or fall. This valley j,
located in Lebanon, Dauphin and
Lancaster counties, and is said to be
admirably suited to the purpose. lie

While the department OF the North
and the department OF the Southwest
are to hold man"uvcrs. according t.
lis plan. in 1865, the former in Kansa:

homa. Then it would be the turn o.
the departments of the Atlantic and

lie recommends that the time in which

nancuVc"s be extended from 10 to L.
days, and that about 10000 troops
participate in each department.. TIL
whole thing now awaits the apprOpr-
alton Of money by Congress. If Con
gross fails to appropriate the money
which the war department asks for,
that no maneuvers can be held, the
