Bids for the Privileges—Constructing Mimic War Ships. Bids for the privileges at the National Drill were closed to-day, and will be considered by the execu- tive committee Saturday evening. The bids are considered very satisfactory. Mr. Chas. A. Henry, of Boston, who is associated with Mr. Chas. H. ‘Thayer in the management of the pyrorama, was in the clty to-day in consultation with the com- mittee. Mr. Henry will return here next Week with a force of workmen and begin the work of preparing the ——pyro- rama for exhibition, This pyrorama 1s really a mimic reproduction of the naval battle in Hampton Roads, which ended with the memora- bie contest between the Monitor and the Merri- mac. Unlike a panorama, the war vessels in this case are seen moving about, guns are fired, and the shock and fire of battle ‘are vividly sepicted. ‘The vessels are made complete, "an from forty to tfty feet in length, looking in the perspective like ships of ‘full size. ‘The pyrorama, as the name implies, depends for its effect largely upon the fireworks or pyrotech- nic display, and is shown only at night. During each nightly exhibition, 3,500 bons are fired from. guns and exploded. Vessels are now belng constructed in Boston. Members of the committee think that this exhibition will be one of the im- portant attractions of the drill. ‘The pyrorama ‘Will be set up within the camp inclosure. _» Last year such a pyrorama was exhibited at The Pines, but. the whole outtit is being reconstructed on a grand scale for the National Drill. Among the bands engaged by the executive com- mittee is the 2d Brigade Band, of Iowa National Guards, the best n that section of the country. Organizations that Will Crovs the Po= tomac to Enter the National Drill. Brigadier General Charles J. Anderson, who, by order of the commander-in-chief, assumes com- mand of the Virginia troops intending to partici- pate inthe National Drill, has tssued a general order to his troops. In this order he says transpor- tation will be furnished by the State military board. ‘The colonel of the 4th regiment will cause his reg- iment to be transported by boat from Norfolk to Washington Sunday night, May 22, reporting as early on May 23 as possible. He will provide also for battery B, 1st battalion artillery. The col- onel of the ist, with six companies and drum corps, will take train before 7 o'clock May 23, re- ruing at Washington as near 11 o'clock as possi Bie. ‘He ‘will include. in his arrangements the Attucks Guard and State Guard of Richmon¢ company G, 3d regiment, at Fredericksburg, an battery B, ist battalion artillery Petersburg. ‘The colonel of the Third will arrange with the Virginia Midland Railroad for a train to leave Danville at or near daybreak May 23, with compa- nies A, H, and K. Lynchburg, on thelr arrival with compantes E and [, taking up en rowe companies D, B, and F; also batteries D and C, First Battal. fon Artillery, and Troop C,First Battalion Cavalry dismounted.’ He will report by 12m. May 23. The senlor captain of companies C, E, and F (late sec- ond regiment), will arrange with the Balti. more and Ohio Railroad” for transportation that he may report these companies in Washington before twelve noon May 23. Shoutd the effort fall that Is being now made to have the general assembly of Virginia provide that the men may vote for their town and county offi- cers, in Alexandria, on May 26, a furlough of about 24 hours will be granted on ‘proper applteation dating from the afternoon of May 25; no expense whatever of transportation for satd purpobe Paid from the military fund of the State. Tn closing his order Gen, Anderson says: “The brigadier general commanding would also ask the attention of all Virginia troops to the necessity, in their behavior and discipline, of maintaining the high standard they have hitherto attained, 30 Unat not one instance of misbehavior or Insubordi- nation may require the prompt check of authority. And he hopes that this Il not be the least in the Teoollection of the Virginia volunteers among the pleasant memories of Camp George Washington.” 0 SOCIETY NOTES.

It 1s thought that all the men can do ts being done to reach them. It ‘Was at Orst thought of cutting a ditch to the salt ‘water,$0 as to attempt to put out the fire in No. 2 shaft by turning a stream of water into it, but the scheme Was abandoned. It would only flood the mine, rendering 1t practically useless “or a year, ‘and would banish any hope Uhere might be of sav- ing the livesof the men.

Occasional showers of rain cast adreariness over the already ghastly scene, The itnprisoned miners were ill old settlers, Their faces were familiar on the city’s streets, and there will be many a void inthe homes of the people. It 1s almost impossible that any of the men can have survived, though many Cling to the hope that some few may be taken out alive. The people do not yet begin to realize the extent of the calamity. THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION is ag yet unknown. Itis supposed to have been | caused by the explosion of coal dust, similar to that which occurred in the Queen Pacific. ‘The attendance on the dead and suffering in the morning Was bad.
