TO FOOT THEIR OWN BILLS.

No Funds to Pay the Expenses of Veterans to Chickamauga. Washington dispatch: Inquiries have eached the War department from various quarters asking whether there is any appropriation available to pay the expenses of veterans visiting the battle field of Chickamauga for the purpose of aiding in identifying the lines upon which they fought. There, is no fund available for that purpose. Upon the passage of |he Chickamauga park bill, which is expected early in the summer, officers wll be sent to the field to confer with all veterans ■ who will gather there to assist in establishing the lines. Until then the expense of those visiting the fieftTwould be entirely wasted, since no one can be there to make an official record of the information gathered or to officiallymark points which might be designated by the visiting veterans.
