MIR. WHITNEY'S LETTER
Denying the Van Allen Contribution Story
Interests Senators.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept 2S.-The
letter from Mr.. Whitney regarding the
Van Allen affair was read with corsid-
erable interest by senators to-day. but
the letter docs ret necessarily change
their opinion as To- the fitness OF MIR. Van
Allen for the position Of Ambassador to
Italy, TO which he has been nominated by
MIR. Cleveland. Mr.. Whitney has many
fIlerds In the Senate and he is respected
highly by the whole body of senators.
Therefore they would not say OF do any
thing indicating a belief on their part that
he had entered into an improper bargain
with Mr.. Van Allen. Accepting IT as a
fact, however, that Mr.. Whitney made
no promises to Van Allen in consideration
Of the $4,000 campaign contribution,
this, IL Is said, does not dispose OF the
charge that Dlr. Van Allen was given TO
understand by some one that his contri-
button would give him a claim on the
administration for the appointment he
desired. The fact that as far back as
March II was common talk In certain cir
cles I'm New York that he was TO have
this appointment in consideration OF his
so, 900, and the fact that IL is alleged that
he is not the sort OF man this office would
seek without some weighty reason to
overcome better judgment. leaves still a
very strong impression that II would be
just as we'll, all things considered, for the
nomination 20 be very carefully consid-
cred before confirmation.
As far as can be learned there is no
opposition I'm the Senate which grows
out Of personal antagonism TO Van Allen,
for he is almost unknown 10 the sena-
tors. The opposition grows out OF repug-
nance TO appointments secured by such
methods as alleged In this case. IL 1t
were not for the fact that his rejection
might reflect on others and be regarded
as a rebuke 10 the administration, there
would be considerable doubt Of his con
frmaton. As It is, the nomination Is
expected 10 be hung up for some time
and final confirmation Is not certain. A
number Of letters setting forth certain
allegations I'm opposition 70 confirmation
have been received by senators and fled
with the committee. The committee, It
Is understood, has decided TO make a
thorough investigation before reporting
TO the Senate, and IL is intlmated that GER
tain witnesses. whose names have been
given the committee, will be called.

ENGLISH HOSPITAL ABUSE.
How Private Nurses Are "sweated In
Some London Irstttutions

Speaking Of this abuse In the London
Queen, Mrs. Bedford Fenwick, whose
career from probationer TO supsrintend-
ent Of a nurses home permits her 20 DO
SO with authority. says:
ut is long story. / suppose the his
tory Of the movement dates back pre,ty
nearly 10 the time some twenty or TWEEN
ty-fve years ago. when educated women
were first introduced into hospitals, In
stead of the unframed and often incapa-
Bile women OF the charwoman class VINO
were formerly employed. Ladies erected
great and valuable improvements In the
methods OF nursing, but the authorities
at first hardly knew how 10 treat them
and expected them 20 do the menlal
work which their predecessors had per
formed. Then came the Introduction OF
wardmaids and this grievance was re-
dressed.
but somehow" she continued. IN our
nursing world We have no sooner removed
one abuse than another has arisen. we
had for instance, no sooner swept the
bospitaIs Of our incapable and ofttimes
drunken Sairey Camps and had put the
nursing OF our hospitals upon better
footing than an unexpected trouble oc-
CURED.
THE hosntal authorities began. In
short. TO perceive that they possessed IN
their lady nurses an unexpected source
OF revenue The public outside the hos
pltals began 10 ask for trained nurses.
At first, no doubt, the public got what
IT asked FOR. but gradually some nospit-
ais slipped into the habit or sending out
only half-trained nurses 10 a pubic
which dld not know the difference. Inc
temptation was a pecuniary one and was
certainly strong A nurse at the end
OF her first years training will be re-
ceiying a nominal salary Of from $50 to
$50. But let her be sent into private
families as a fully trained nurse and she
is forthwith earning FOR the hospital au-
thorities two guineas a week. Everybody
Is defrauded by such a systematic pri-
yate employer who pays AZ a critl1al
moment Tor the services or a competent
person and does not get them, ana the
nurse. who is both defrauded Of a large
sum OF money which she has earned and
of the training which she entered the hos
initial on the understanding she should re-
celye Nor is this all. Ultimately the hos
uital patients suffer also from this dis
honest system. Often the supply OF
nurses from the private nursing stan
runs short and then nurses are taken out
OF the wards 70 meet the demand. You
can imagine what dlsorganization Of ward
work ensues from such a system"
