hearing before the commissioners, by VIII
liam A. Fry concerning the refusal Of the
chief clerk. D. c. to receive his bid for
construction Of certain improvements about
four of the district schools, Engineer Com

tons. because the latter was not at his

Ing about the existence of a special box
which is maintained in the secretary 8

upon the matter. says that he believes Mr..

A POPULAR PROPOSITION.
Joint Encampment of Militia organi.
cations and Regulars.

Letters received by Assistant Secretary
Oliver from the governors of states in an
swer to his recent invitation to designate
the militia organizations which they desire
to encamp with the regular troops indicate
that the proposition is popular among the
National Guardsmen beyond expectation.
In fact, it has become evident that the
limited appropriation for that purpose of
100000 will be entirely insufficient unless
supplemented by Congress. many of the
governors have replied to the invitation
that they would direct that all of their
militia organizations enter the combined
camps.
Therefore Mr.. Oliver has been obliged to
send out another letter to these governors
stating that for the present the department
will be able to care completely only for one
regiment of infantry, one troop OF cavalry
and one battery of artillery from each
state. providing these with subsistence,
transportation and pay. If the governors
desire to send more troops than these the
government can provide only for their
transportation.
AS there appears to be misunderstood
ing as to the cost of rations, the governors
have been informed that the field ration is
limited to % and the travel ration to 10
cents.
