GOVERNOR TO REVIEW REGIMENT
Governor Alexander announced last

the entire regiment before It dis
bands. He will announce the date of
the review later. Yesterday after
noon as the two sections of the regi-
ment that arrived in the afternoon
swung along in front of the state CAPT.
tol building the chief executive stood
upon the main steps and received the
courtesy due his station from officers
and enlisted men.
Adjutant General Moody informed
the governor, the latter stated, that
the regiment will probably not be de-
modified until after the legislature
convenes owing TO the fact it is going
to take some time to check all of the
men enlisted. give them careful physical
examinations etc, as well as check
the property and attend to the numer-
Gus other details that are necessary.
LEGISLATURE TO APPROPRIATE.
One of the first acts of the legisla-
ture after it convenes will be to APP
propriate some $1,000 with which to
meet the back state pay that is due
the men. Taey received but half of
their pay when they left for the bor-
der.
A conference of representatives of
some of the banks was held with the
governor. he announced yesterday, but
no agreement could he reached regard
ing the loan of $4,000 needed to pay OF
the states obligation. The governor
said the banks wanted personal guar
antee from him for the payment of
the money, but he was not willing to
give a note. He said he offered to
combine with the five banks in the
city and advance towards the 5000
his pro rata share without taking any
security but this arrangement could
not be made.
1t Will therefore become the duty of
the legislature to appropriate the funds
for the regiment Immediately after it
convenes. Governor Alexander said
this would be done without delay and
the men would be paid off. "1f the leg
islature don't pay it I'll pay it myself"
the governor remarked.
