It was decided at a late hour ‘this morning that it would greatly facilitate matters if the camp equipage were sent out to the grounds by wagons instead of loading it on the cars at 9th street and Maryland avenu>, unloading it at Dunn Loring and again put- ting it in wagons to be taken to the camp, which is located about two miles from the station. Consequently the wagon train was started from the armory about 10:30 o'clock, to be driven over the road a distanc> of about ten miles. The train consisted of ten lerge express wagons, on which were pack- ed all of the tents and poles, the cooking utensils, the sacks for beds and the neces- sary straw with which to fill them. The wagon train was accompanied by a quar- termaster sergeant and a guard of privates, For more than an hour before the bat- talion reached 9th and Maryland avenue the wiv mothers, sweethearts and friends of the gallant soldier boys began to assemble to give them a send-off. It Was a merry crowd, although in the eyes of many of the gentler sex could be seen the glint of tears as sad farewel!s were sald to sons and brothers who were not this time going away on a pleasure en- campment, but were going for the purpose of assisting in the defense of the flag of their country. As the train pulled out there was a mighty cheer from thousands of throats. Handkerchiefs were waved and hats thrown in the air. The crowd did not on é b at Last disperse until the train had passed en- their first experience in a real soldier's] tirely out of sight. life.

Causes Rejoicing. When it became generally known at the National Guard armory last night that a battalion of four companies, under com- mand of Major Urell, would go into camp near Falls Church this morning there was great rejoicing among the men who have already volunteered into the regiment, and especially among those who have been for- tunate enough to be mustered into the United States volunteer army. ‘As soon as it was made certain that the Morton Cadets would be mustered in dur- ing the afternoon arrangements were quickly perfected to put the battalion of four companies, consisting of Company A, Captain Harry Walsh; Company B, Cap- tain William T. H. King; Company F, Cap- tain Otto G. Simonson, and Company G, Captain F. S. Hodgson, in camp at the most available point. As stated in The Star yesterday after- noon, an effort was made by General Har- ries, commanding the National Guard, to get permission from the War Department to put the companies named on one of the gevernment reservations within the Dis- trict of Columbia. It was thought that per- mission could be secured to use a part of the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution, but this scheme was knocked in the head. It was then decided that it would be well to locate the camp on the site near Falls Church which had been selected for the mobilization of the volurteer army in this section ofthe country. The fact that these companies were to go into camp today had its immediate ef- fect in the way of recruiting the remaining companies which had been chosen to make up the District volunteer regiment. With- in a few hours after the order had been made known Company Li, Captain George y. England, succeeded in getting the nec- ary number of men fo enlist to fill out quota, and the company was mustered last night into the United States army as a part of the District volunteer regiment. Commanders Secure Recruits. The other company commanders put on renewed energy and activity, and succeeded in securing a large number of recruits. During last evening both officers and men were working as hard as possible to fill up their compantes to the required number of physically perfect men, in order that they might be placed in the volunteer ser- vice. Those men who signified their intention of enlisting last night went before the ex- amining physicians this morning, and al- though the test to which they were sub- jected was a very rigid one, many of them ‘ed successfully and were added to the ter of the company in which they had elected to serve. It is thought now that by Monday at the latest the District volunteer regiment will have secured its full complement of men and that it will be at once made a part of the volunteer army. At that time Briga- dier General George H. Harries, command- ing the District of Columbia National Guard, will be commissioned by President McKinley as colonel commanding the 1st Regiment, District of Columbia Volunteers. At the same time Captain C. H. Heyl will be commissioned lieutenant colonel: First Lieutenant William 8. Horton, regimental adjutant: Major Charles De L. Hine, with First Lieutenant Charles B. Hudson, as battalion adjutant; Major Richard’ A. O'Brien, with First Lieutenant C. Fred Cook, as battalion adjutant; First Lieuten- ant John M. Fields as regimental quarter- master; Rev. George Dudley as chaplain; Major R. A. Pyles, surgeon; First Lieuten- ant Clarence A. Weaver, assistant surgeon; First Lieutenant S. Clifford Cox, assistant surgeon. Quartermaster Kept Busy. Until a late hour last night the quarter- master’s department was busy getting the tents and camp equipage in shape to be put on cars this morning. ‘The men in this de- partment were at the armory again early this morning and worked like troopers up to the moment the train left. It is not thought that anything was left behind, so thoroughly is the work of this department systematized. Companies A, B, F and L slept in quar- ters at the armory last night.

Site of the Camp. ‘The place selected for the camp is about two miles from Falls Church, Va., and about eight miles from this city. It fs an ideal site. The farm on which the camp is laid out is known as Woodburn Manor, and is owned by Mrs. Emma F. Campbell. It has an altitude of about 450 feet, giving a magnificent view of the Virginia hills, over the peaks ef which the Washington monu- ment can be seen. The landseape is mag- nificent, and the scenery superb. There are 0 acres of ground In the tract which has been under cultivation, but a large portion of the land has been used for pasture pur- poses and has an excellent sod. A stream of water flows through the center of the property, giving an ample supply for drink- ing and sanitary purposes. This stream is fed by thirty springs, which are scattered throughout the property. There is a largo park of about 900 acres. There are two mansions on the estate, one of which is to be used as headquarters when all of the troops are massed at the camp, and the other as sleeping quarters for the officers in command of the corps.

The Ist Battalion, District of Columbia Volunteers, left 9th street and Maryland avenue on a special train shortly after 11 o'clock today for “Woodburn Manor,” near Falls Church, .Va., where they went into camp. Frem an early hour in the morn- ing there was a great deal of bustle and . ANOTHER!!! ue a of the men of Company L were given per- mission to return to their homes on their Promise to b2 at the armory at 7 o’clock this morning. This promise they kept to a man. Shortly after 7 o'clock this morning the members of the four es which were to go into camp were given the last meal cooked in the restaurant that thty will eat for some time. Owing to the cramped condition of the quarters the members of the Morton Cadets, Company G, 1st Battalion, with the excep- tion of the necessary guards, were allowed to go home last night. They reported at the armory at 7 o’clock this morning and together marched to breakfast. Saat gees TIMELY AND READABLE. That is What the Articles in Tomor- row’s Big Star Will Be. Readers of The Star will find tomorrow's big edition an unusually interesting and valuable one. Just now when the papers are so full of news of battles and of prep- arations for war it will be a relief to turn aside for a whilé and read of other things. Yet The Star tomorrow will not be with- out matter pertaining to the war. Several articles of literary worth bearing on var- fous phases of the situation are sure to be appreciated, for they are written by men who know whereof they speak. In addition to these the Saturday Star this wéek will be particularly rich in mat- ters of general interest. No single depart- ment of the paper will be neglected for the benefit of any other, but the tastes of all the readers will be considered. For those women who are interested in the styles for the coming season there will be a number of articles from New York and Europe giv- ing exact and authoritative information as to what will be proper this summer. Those who like good fiction will be satisfied, while others who are more interested in out-door sports, base ball, bicycling and the rest will have no reason to be disappointed. In other words, tomorrow's Star will be a gcod example of modern, up-to-date jour- ualism, bright, but not yellow; reliable and substantial, but not heavy. The fourth installment of Robt. W. Cham- bers’ capital story, “Ashes of Empire,” will appear in tomorrow's paper. Besides this there will be a short story by Robert Barr, one of the most popular writers of the day, entitled “The Hour Glass.” It is one of Mr. Barr's quaintest creations. It is a love story of the time of Queen Anne. scene is the Fortress of Elsingore during the war of the Spznish succession. Its hero is a Heutenant in the army of the Duke of Marlborough, and his wooing comes near costing him his life through the eccentric action of an hour glass.

Ilness of the’ Wife of the Senator From Vermont Ends Fata’ The sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. Ruth Swan Morrill, wife of the venerable senator from Vermont, spread through Washington shortly after the noon hour today, and wherever it went it inspired deep sorrow for the loss of one who had endeared herself so warmly to all during her long residence in Washington, and sympathy for the distinguished statesman to whom she had been such a devoted help- mate. Mrs. Morrill had been ill for some time, but was believed to be on the road to re- covery, her improvement being such that her removal from this city was contem- plated. A change for the worse ensued, however, and she died at 11 o'clock this morning at her residence, No. 1 Thomas circle. The funeral will take place from there at 4 p.a. Monday. Lovable Character. , Mrs. Morrill has been for many years one of the most prominent as well as one of the most lovable women in official life. She was at least ten years younger than her husband. Failing health of late years caused her to become almost a complete invalid, but she always showed so much cnergy and ambition that her friends the past winter hoped against hope that she would agein be able to take an active in- terest in the life of her household. She had been confined to the house during the entire winter, but as the spring advanced gained new strength and was quite able to arrange for and participate in the eighty-eighth birthday celebration of Sen- ator Morrill during Easter week. ‘That night she received the hundreds of guests with the same cordial and friendly manner which so particularly distinguished her, and it was only at the close of the evening when she yielded to the solicita- tions of her son, and rested on a chair near her drawing room door. itt last illness commenced a few days ter Mrs. Morrill wes a woman of great sweet- ness of manner and amiability of charact2r and the acquaintances once received in her home became, with all the changes in ofi- cial life at the capital, her warmest friends. She came of a distinguished New England family. Her father and several of her brothers were physicians. Her maiden name was Ruth Swan. Her sister, Miss Louise Swan, has always lived here with the senator's family. Her brother, Dr. Swan of Boston, has spent almost all the Best winter with the family, and is now ere, : — MADRID, May 13, 10:30 a.m.—It 15 said the | C@pture both men.
