6 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, GETTING IN THE ESTIMATES. ‘The Executive Committee to Pass on the Cost of the Encampment. ‘WHAT MONET BAS BEEN EXPENDED FOR AND WHAT WILL PROBABLY BE NEEDED BY THE | VARIOUS SURCOMMITTERS To caRRY ovT| THEIR PLANS. An important meeting of the citizens’ Grand | Army enosmpment executive committee will be | held next week. It is expected that the esti- | mates of expenses by the various subcommit- | tees will all be in shape by thet time, and then | the committee can take some definite action to- | ward apportioning the fund. Some appropria- | tions have already been made by the commit-| tee, but these were for objects which wepe | y absolutely necessary. In regard to the other | details of the arrangements the committee can, | in @ great measure, cut the cloth to suit the | measure. PROVIDING THE QUARTERS. For example, there was no question about providing free quarters, aud a good many, too. So for the use of the committee on accommoda- | tions the sum of $7,500 ha” been set aside. A good | slice of this sum, in inct the major portion, will | be expended in the erection of the large frame on the monument lot and elsewhere. ‘There will be twelve or fourteen of these etruct- | ures and they will cost, complete. between three and four thousand dollars. This is of course, in a sense, a rough estimate, as it is impossible | to calculate toa nicety all ‘the details of the cost of such an undertaking. When it is con- sidered that some twenty-five or thirty thou- sand men are to be supplied with sleeping ac- commodations it is reasonable to expect that the buildings erected for this purpose will cost | a large sum of money. | ‘THE BADGES HAVE BEEN ORDERED. i The badges have already been ordered and the committee in charge of this work were al- lowed $1,800. Then there has been appropriated | the sam of 91,200 for horses and carriages. | its The Another important committee in the light of | work is the committee on information. Th plan devised by this committee is to erect in| various parts of the city «mall buildings, which will be located as a rule on the curb. !n these | places will be stationed persons of intelligence, | who will be able to answer clearly all questions in regard to the program of arrangements, the localities of the city and other inquiries in re- d to other matters which strangers would be ikely toaak. In this war it is expected that the path of the stranger through this city will de miade eas} ; ‘Beyond providing the means for carrving out these details of the general pl the executive committee have notas ¥ many appro- priations for subcommittees. ¢ is to got all the estimates together and be asily be determined what action should taken.

Chairman Burdett called the members to order at pracisely$ o'clock, aud called for the reports of tne various subcommitzees. ‘Chairman Roose of the decoration and standsaub- committee submitted a written report elowing | the work that bad been done by himeeli and as- | sociates.

Mr. Eugene Kelly, Jr.’s, Dinner Party—A | Young California Actress’ Career. | Correspondence of The Evening Star. New Yorx, Aug. 10, 1892. At the dinner given a few days ago by Mr. and Mre.
