over the action Of the finance committee
of the Washington reunion next June In
asking Southern cities, through assess

ing the Confederate Veterans at their
annual encampment in the Capital.
II IN believed that Gen. Harrison. COM

select some other city unless the attitude
of the finance committee is changed.
Adit. Gen. William e. Mickle, U. c. w.,
who is in. Mobile tonight, declared that
the finance committees course might
seriously interfere with the plans for the
reunion, but he was optimistic that the
trouble might be adjusted.
"I am satisfied that the difficulty will
be amicably adjusted" he said. But as
I am the adjutant general and as the
matter has been taken up with the COM
mander in chief. have nothing further

country, but that these funds had come
as voluntary offerings and were in ac-

cities, there have been large contribu-
