The soldier to ys are Jill here, an Washington is full of martial music an beat of drums. The National Dril opened this morning, but the contests wilt nut begin until tomorrow. Today was deruted to sums formalities such as receiving the troops, naming the camp and this afternoon there was a dress parade by all the companies. For the peat few days large crowds of people hare congregated at the railway stations to see and welcome the soldiers as they arrived. The first to snake their appsear- ante were the Leuisiana Rides, of New Orleans, who marched quietly up Penn- sylvausa avenue to W.11ard's hotel, and afterwards to camp, which they entered as silently es spies. The Vicksburg - othrons followed them making quite • noise with their silver cornets. and the Louisiana men received their Mississippi netghee,rs with • hearty cheer which was uuly reciprocated. The city of tents around the base of the Washington monument is quite pic- turesque, and there is also a ladies' camp lust north of the parade grounds. Large parties of ladies acconspatied 11.411111 4,1 :he military organizations here, and acme of them preferred to go into camp to stopping at the hotels and bar•liug houses. Some preferred it for the novelty of the experience, and others because of the emna mic (natures of camp Ilfe. Quite a sensation occurred when it was reported that there would be net liquor sold in amp because of an order issued hy the President t s revoke the pncitetre. It seems that • committee of ladies, appointed for the purpose by the W. T C. 1'. called upon the President and presented him with a protest againat the sale of intoxicating liquors r•o the drill Townes, it being • government property, and asked his interference. The ladies said the President received them most crwrteouely, expressed his disapproval of the license to sell 'ignore on the drill ground, and gave them touch encouragement to believe it world not toe pldos. The ladies ale. called on Col. Watson, commissioner of puhiic buildings and gnsunds, and other gentlemen hag irg authority. The barroom privilege of the ground had bonen sold by the Drill committee tier $1,800, hut about noon on last Friday, the ,nan who had bought the privilege of opening the bar ender the grand stand, was notified that the order orate - mg hien this privilege was revoked, and he at once *eased his preparstson. Liter it was stated that this action of tha Drill committee was in no way due to the President or to the efforts of the adies of the W. T. C. U., that before be ladies had waited on the Presidewt, he Drill committee had passed their resolution revoking the sale .of intoxicat- ng liquors on the Drill ground. Probably the real secret of the cam- nsittee's action was that it received, through the Commissioner of public grounds, a polite intimation that it would be very gratifying to the War Department, is which the Drill ground belongs if intoxicating liquors were ex - luded. The committee already under reat oblitrations to the War Depart- ment, could nat afford to ignore • hint 1 that kind, and they pr•mptly made he order revoking the bar privilege. So, at the refreshment owntsr under the grand stand, only temperanee% drinks will by sold this week. The President, who has been working very 'hand and steadily now for soma time, haw decided to take • rest. He w ill go soon, • nompansed by his wife and her mother, and Colonel and Mrs La- mont. to Saranac Lake N. Y., for about ten days' fishing. Last season he delay- ed his trip to the mountains until it was almost 1.0 late for this sport. He ex- pects to net there before the crowd of Adirondack visitors aaseashl., with the view .f securing • good teat. it is probable that this will b. his only oppor- tunity to be away from Washington for any length of time. Extra woof on talk ie again revived, and should he deem it nteaseiry to call an extra session of Congress, •e many risen of prominence think he will, he wowld probably be de- prived of a later summer vacation. An extra s.ssinn is urged chiefly hy the advocates of tariff redustn,n, who think that the o. entry demands relief from taxation and the release of • !nod deal of the money that- is thereby locked tip in the trimmer/.

Unard us .ruin J..wph \\iltiarns was called to the chair, and .lames Mitchell was appointed secretary r,. - H. U. Reynolds resigned. The minters of previous meeting were rend and apprott•.1. Mayor Seeger concurred in the move- ment, and thought it was a step its the right direction. He believed the citi- zens should aid the council in every way pssinle, and believed a Board of Trade could take up and deal with many pies - tions that the town council was nut at liberty to deal with. He saw no reason why a successful Board of Trade could not be established in (:o.lench similar to chess established in other cities and towns. He suggested that Joseph Wil- liams be permanent chairman. It. (.'. Reynolds suggested that the new institution he known as the Advisory Citizens' Committee. A. McD. Allan favored the establish- ment if a regular Board of Trade, with all the strength that the name gore. Its object should be to work unselfishly in the interest of the town. R. Radcliffe seconde.i mayor Seager's motion ooncerning the appointment of Jos, Williams as permanent chairman, There had been a board of trade in Ocderich some ten or twelve years ago, and if the na.ne was right then it surely wosldibe right now. He believed the name Board of Trade would carry more weioeht than that of Advisory Board. William Campbell thought the bear! eh .uld not now be formed, but that an adjournment be had for a week or ten days during which the statute govern- ing the f ruaatisn of hoards of Trade be examined, and a constitution fur the proposed institution be drafted. A McD Allan thought Wm Campbell's suggestion • good ens. Ex-mayer Horn.% said there was a Board of Trade statute. Any fine could join • Board of Trate who was willing to pay the regular free. A Board of Trade was a superior name to an Ad - emery Bard, and would carry mere weight. In his experience there had been two Mania of Trade in Godench James Sheppard believed now was the time for the organization of a Board of Trade. People look op to the doings of such an institution. 1f properly organ- ised, it would prove a strong institution to further the welfare of the town. H.
