Brigadier.General Macomb U. S. a.

Barracks this morning, but as his visit
is purely for the purpose Of just seeing
the post and the lay of the land and
to ascertain what buildings are avail

the troops will not be turned out. At

He win be accompanied today by Cap

has already called upon the general
and this call will presently be returned
General Macomb has established
headquarters in the Offices Of the sig

The report that the Mayor is to sign
the appropriation bill just as soon as
it is passed is superstition. The trend
of events during the last week or so,
seem to point against it. Until the
Mayor signs that bill, however, he holds
the whip hand over the supervisors and
they know it. Their plans seem to in.
dictate the waiting game.
Until they are certain, however, that
the bill is signed and that the old
familiar ghost is to walk at the end
of the month, then they are going to
