MAKING FIRES OUTSIDE
CAMP NOW PROHIBITED

Owing to the excitement caused
the night of July Is. when two
men of Company X, 22d Infantry,
climbed to mountain peak to the
north of Warren and lighted two
fires, Col. Noble, commanding the
regiment and also the militia
units encamped in this locality,
has issued an order that no en-
listed man shall light a fire out
side of his company reservation.
The two fires on the mountain
top started rumor that they had
been lighted by Mexican agents
as a means of signaling to the
forces south of the international
boundary line. Visions of a mid
night raid were rampant in the
District National Guard camps,
and it later developed that there
> was much speculation in the regu-
lars camp as to the origin of the
lights and their meaning.
An investigation made the fol-
lowing day developed the fact that
they were bonfires which the two
infantrymen had lighted.

and other members Of the republican
committee which was appointed to con-
fer with the republican national COM

for the establishment of separate COM
mittee TO look after the senatorial cam
paign. and said that subcommittee of
the national committee would be put in
charge Of the senatorial campaign. Sem
ator Weeks said that the sena torial com
mittee would continue, but merely in an

nothing to do with raising or expending
money In the campaign.

From now on there will be
some old guard practical poll
tics in the campaign
He elaborated by pointing out that
there are men in the management who
know how to do things in a big way,
in a practical way, and that they will
be done All the men parties to yester-
days confab went away from New York
pleased with the work set afoot-
Urgent representations were made to
Chairman Wilcox and repeated to Mr..
Hughes to hasten the work OF organiZa-
ton which, in the opinion of some Of the
visitors, is tagging without excuse. MIR.
Hughes was not inclined to think that
fault could be found upon this score. But
next week will witness some speeding up.
1t that

One important and significant feature
Of yesterdays board meeting vas the en-
thusiasm displayed by the progressive
members of the campaign committee. 1t

and vigor in the plans for the campaign.

deal value and was in the forefront of
James r. Garfield was on his toes also
There was no mistaking the air of salts
faction he wore at being back in ine house
Of his father. You would never have
guessed he had been away.
The only progressive who seemed i'll
at ease was Mr.. Ickes of Chicago. Inas-
much as il has only been a few months
since he couldn't find things hard
enough to say about the republicans.
he prebab1y felt a bit strange to find
himself in the heart of republican
councils. But he was the. fair haired
boy to Mr.. Hughes, and they are not
going to let Mayor Thompson make
faces at him.
Plenty of Money.
Treasurer Bliss and Assistant Hat
passer Upham reported progress No
pretended, 1 am told. That was about
~ far as I could get, but there was
certain air of complacency which au-
bured well for an ample supply of
funds-"for legitimate expenses" of
course
The special senatorial committee got
right down to cases. The senatorial
campaigns in the close states will be
pushed with vigor. The Maine cam
paisn will open August 81. and will not
nag a moment.
The congressional committee prom
tsed 400 speeches to be made in the
state of Maine in the coming campaign.
That committee also gave assurances
Of active work in other states and
promised the national organization a
rousing republican majority in the next
House of Representatives
Mr.. Hughes conferred with some of
the leaders about his speech of ac-
ceptance upon which he is working as
siduously. Great interest attaches to
this utterance. which will be the key
note Of the campaign and the cue for
all the campaign spellbinders.
Judging from the way he handed it
70 them in his announcement to the
Chicago convention" said one of the
leaders, we are not entertaining any
doubts That it will be a good one"
