CONDUCT OF THE WAR.
INVESTIGATING COMMISSION
CONTINUES ITS SITTINGS.
General Fitzhugh Lee to be Asked
to Testify Concerning Charges
Against War Department.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-The War
Investigation Commission to-day de-
cided to ask General Lee to follow
General Wheeler in giving testimony
concerning the charges made against
the War Department, and named We'd
nesday of next week at a. date when
he could be heard. General Wheeler
will be before the commission on Tues
day, and will be interrogated both
about Camp Wikoff and the Santiago
campaign, the examination concern
ing Santiago covering especially the
facilities for caring for the sick and
wounded and the precautions taken to
preserve the health of the men in the
trenches.
The Commissioners state their pur-
pose to be to make a very complete in
Vestigation of these features of the
Santiago siege, but Vice Chairman
DENLY stated to-day that the subject
of calling General Miles or General
Shaster had not been yet under con-
sideration. The decision to call Cen
eral Lee was because he is in the city
and is liable to be soon ordered to Cuba.
The commission to-day continued its
examination Of letters bearing upon
charges Of acknowledgements call
ing attention to such charges and 9TH
ers attempting to refute them. Many
of the letters referred to newspaper re-
ports of abuse, and in most of such
cases letters were sent to the editors
in question asking them for specific
information
Among other newspaper publications
considered was an editorial article from
the Brooklyn Eagle making various
charges concerning the abuse of sick
soldiers by subordinate officers and re-
ferring especially to the death of Lieu
tenant Lafferty, under the head of
medical murders, their victims and
their causes"
The Secretary was instructed to send
an especially prepared letter to Hon.
St. Clair McElway, the editor of the
Eagle reading as follows:
i am directed by the presiding Off
Ger to ask you whether you have any
facts within your personal knowledge
upon which you have based the charges
set forth in that article, and whether
you will oblige the commission by fur
nishing them with those facts in COM
pact and explicit FORM
''The commission would be glad to
have testimony of kind that can be
used in this investigation, not only rel
ative to the circumstances attending
the death of Lieutenant Lafferty at
Camp Wikoff. as alleged in the arti
Gle under consideration, but also relat-
ing to the other incidents to which
you make reference. Such testimony
is exactly what the commission wants.
VIII you oblige this body with what
you have at your disposition, or can
obtain for the purpose"
To-day's letters especially deal with
the conditions at Camp Wikoff. They
relate to the lack of preparation of the
camp before the soldiers We're received.
A minister wrote that he had pointed
out the inaccessibility and exposed
condition of the location and the poor
condition of the water before the place
was selected.

The Majority Against Prohibition
Will Not Exceed $4,000.

TORONTO (Ont), Sept. 30.-The ma
jority for prohibition throughout the
entire Dominion will not likely exceed
$4,000. All the provinces except Que
bee voted prohibition Ontario giving
it a majority of about 10000 Quebecs
majority against, 10000, is just about
offset by the returns from the mari
time provinces, while the returns from
Manitoba, the Territories and British
Columbia show that the West is in
favor of prohibition by a majority of
1890 or 5000 Even the prohibition
papers consider the majority too small
to influence the Government to- attempt
to enact prohibition legislation.

from our workroom about fifty hats at $5 each

how surprised and enthusiastic people

IN MEMORLAM-MRs CAROLINE JUDSON.
AS we go thoughtfully down the halls
of memory how mary dear ones come
before us@in sweet and tender associa-
tions We love to look again into their
familiar faces and listen to their pleasant
and welcome voices as Of old. Precious
indeed are their dear names; they can
never fade from our memory. Down in
our hearts, ever and Away, they have a
large, warm and welcome place. And
now another dear one has just been add
ed to the number of the precious depart
ed ones our hearts love and affection
Another bright and beautiful link has
been broken in Friendship golden chain.
Another dear one has crossed the river,
and Joined the blood-washed throng over
on the ssGolden She e,' in the Land I'M
mortal! The pure and ransome0 spirit
of Mrs Cornelia Judson, late of Hunting
ton, has passed to the society and COM
partnership of dear ones in glory. On
Sunday, May l, she went home TO the
Heavenly Land to meet many loved ones
from whom she had been long separated.
How happy and joyful that meeting on
the Celestial Shore Sweet reunion for
ever! We remember now, how as lit
tie boy in the years of long ago, we
used to go and visit In the happy, pleas
ant home of the now gloriled one, the
home OF her childhood and youth. What
warm welcome we always received |
What sweet and halIowed memories
gather around that dear old home to-
day! But now, all is changed Father,
mother. son and two daughters are now
gone from that old circle, gone to return
no more! Mrs Judson was noble
Christian woman loyal and true in all
the walks and relations OF life; of g
bright and cheerful temperament; l0wly
and lovable In the midst of large circle
OF earnest and true friends; possessed
OF sterling qualities OF mind and heart.
She had been, for many long years, and

was at the time of her decease, a very
highly esteemed member of the Congre
gational church at Huntington Center.
She has left bright example. How
much we enjoyed visit with her last
summer in her own pleasant home, and
Its loving memories will ever remain
with rs. That home is lonely and silent
now, for the dear one has gone to the
Home on High. How much she will be
missed but her memory ia precious and
will remain fragrant through coming
years. May the dear Lord comfort apd
bless the bereaved daughter, the SORROW
ing brothers and sister and all the strick-
en- ones; and, at last, may we all meet in
the s'gWeet bye and bye"
aDearest sister, thou hast left U.S.
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God who has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows feal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When this day oflife is fed;
Then in Heaven with joy to greet thees
Where no farewell tear is she'd"
