Col. Newcomb and staff and the line
officers were received by the Governor
as Well as the visitors at headquarters.
Visitors at the Camp "Wednesday
morning commented freely upon the
excellent personnel OF the guard. Th1
boys of the Second Regiment are the
flower and pride of the Maine towns
and cities and as evidence of their
good behavior during camp it may be
stated that not a complaint has been
made to City Marshal McFadden of
any misdemeanor by single one Of
the soldiers encamped here, and the
guard house, an adjunct with every
camp, has yet to receive its first occu
pant.
The conduct of the men has been
excellent throughout the encamp-
ment," said Col. Newcomb to a Journal
reporter, Thursday. Il have put them

however, if see any necessity for it.
AS has already been stated this tour
of duty means hard work and plenty
of it all day long. But there are no
complaints Anything in the line Of
duty, be it ever so mental, is done
cheerfully because it is in the line If
duty and duty is the guiding star Of
the Maine soldier boy at annual en-
campment nowadays, whatever it may
have been in the past. The days If
the annual Publication are past, the
national guardsman is no longer
sneered at and called tin soldier, nor
do the people of the Capital City look
any longer with holy horror upon the
coming of the citizen soldiers and fear
for the safety of their garden and other
property.
The members of the Second Infan-
try are d good set of boys, well Of
ficered," said capt. Franklin Hutton Of
the 18th L. S. Infantry. who has been
detailed as military instructor by the
war department for this encampment
in conversation with a Journal reporter
Thursday. There are several men on
the State staff, who Notwithstanding
they have not been in Office very long
are of much service to the guard and
are carrying out many excellent ideas.

President had something of personal

appeared to be overfuwing. Senator

"Mr. President, surely you are not
going to sign that bill with the pine
apple paragraph in it?'
Senator Taliaferro referred to the act
that had secured an advance duty on
pine apples in the Senate which was
eliminated in conference.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The tariff has
sion of Congress has been brought to
a close. Both houses adjourned sine
die officially at O'Clock tonight, but
as a matter of fact adjournment was
taken in the House at 5.3S and in the
Senate At 5.5S p. M.
The closing hours Of the session were
most uninteresting. The revision had
been according to the desires of soIne
aud with the hearty diSproval of 9th
erS and the last two days had been
consumed by members of the Senate
in expressing their satisfaction or dis
satisfaction, as the case might be.
The conference report of the bill
was agreed To by the Senate by vote
of AZ to 81 at p. A., and soon after
wares the concurrence resolution maxi
ire certain changes in the leather
schedule was adopted by both houses.
President Taft arrived at the Capitol
at 4.45 F. NJ, and entered the room set
aside for the occupation of the Presi-
dent on the concluding day of a session
of Congress. His appearance there.
the first since his incumhency as Pres
ident caused members of Congress to
desert their two chambers and form
in lire to be received by him. There
was i constant procession Of hand
shaking statesmen through the Pres1-
dents room from the time OF his ar
rival until his departure at $50 o'clock.
just as the hands of the gold clock
in the Presidents room reached six
minutes past five the Payne tariff bill,
as the measure will be known was laid
