TESTIMONY OF DOCTOR HOFF.

Washington, Oct 14-After devoting
the forenoon TO hearing the testimony
OF DR.. Hoff, a chief surgeon of the Third
army corps at Camp Thomas, the war
investigation commission gave the re-
mainder OF Thursday to the reading of
papers submitted by Secretary Alger,
with his statement concerning the con-
duct of the war. The documents reveal
that General Miles recommended the oc-
cupation OF the Isle of Pines about the
time OF the battle of Santiago, and that
Secretary Alger disapproved the sug-
gestion; that he recommended that a
point between Santiago and Porto Rico
be taken previous TO the beginning of
either campaign: that there was an ap-
parent conflict OF authority between the
general and Shafter at Tampa before
the Santiago campaign was inaugurated,
and that orders were issued by the secre-
tary OF war that, i'm the event that Cen
eral Shafter should be disabled by sick
ness or other cause. the command OF the
troops at Santiago should devolve upon
General Wheeler and upon the next in
command in case OF disability of both
Shafter and Wheeler.
During DR.. Hoff's examination he said
that he knew of no case i'm which men in
the hospitals had been compelled 10 lie
on the ground; but he thought there were
probably cases I'm which sick men had
been kept under flies for several days
He was asked IL IL was true that at night
there was an average OF only one nurse
10 each 40 patients in the hospital OF the
second division of the Third corps, and
said this could not be true.
DR.. Conner read an extract from a
letter from the Arkansas governor say
ing that he had made a personal investi-
cation of the conditions I'm this hospital.
and that he had found the conditions
deplorable = simply disgraceful." He
charged that the doctors i'm the institu-
tion were all northern men, unfamiliar
with diseases incidental to the south:
that there were cases OF fever I'm which
patients had gone without water for "a
hours and in which sick men went with
out attention from a surgeon, or without
receiving dose Of medicine for a week.
Replying, DIR. Hoff said that several
southern physicians were engaged at
the hospital, and that he did not think Il
possible that men could have been ne
elected as indicated by the governors
letter. He had not heard Of such cases.
DIR. Hon said that there had been a
shortage in medical supplies for several
weeks, but there was generally suf-
hcient 10 meet the immediate demands.
Some requisitions had been returned by
the Washington authorities because i'm
properly filled. and he was under the i'm
preston that there had been complaints
of some suffering on this account. There
was considerable delay in securing floor
ing for the tents.
was there any deprivation on ac-
count OF the shortage or tents and OF
medical supplies" asked Governor
Woodbury..
1T was so reported" responded DR..
Hoff.
Whose fault was it," was asked.

SITUATION is GRAVE.

London, Oct. IA. - Henry Asquith,
Liberal member OF parliament for East
Fife and former home secretary I'm an
address to his constituents. spoke Of the
situation at Fashoda in a strain similar
to Lord Rosebery's declaration Wednes-
day at EPSON. He said II was the duty
OF patriotic Brtons and lovers OF peace
not to say word that might even seem
to impair the title Of Lord Salisbury's
government TO act In the name of a
united people. Grave as is the situa-
tion," he continued, 1T is difficult TO find
a cause for real dispute. as the interna-
tional status of the valley OF the upper
Nile cannot be a matter for serious con-
troversy between the French and Brit
ish governments"

Rawhide Road to Buffalo. /.

Word was brought TO this city by Hons
t. +. Johncss and J. G. Stevens Monday
that move to establish an all-wintei
route to Buffalo was inauguratcd Christ
mas day i'll Grangeville; and 800 was
secured for the purpose. To this the
company represented by Sam Silverinan
will add, perhaps, enough to open the
road. When once opened the public will
keep it open.
The plan proposed is to load rawhides
with horse feed and draw them over the
route After these will come toboggans
and footmen then saddle and pack horses,
The new camp cannot even be held
back until spring. The Jumbo IS to be
developed Immediately regardless of OBJ
stacles and other companies will follow
this example. II was believed month
ago that the camp would be practically
abandoned during the winter but now il
is fact that hundreds of men will visit
the camp in the next month and that
large forces will be placed upon develop
ment work without waiting for sprins.
This road will open up the camp to
pack trans Winter travel and winter
work will be expensive, but il is now
demonstrated that the camp justifies
heroic efforts in that line.

D. NJ. Whites Will Protested.

y sensational suit was filed i'll the dis
trict court of this county last Monday
J. w, Reid and J. T. Morgan of Boise are
attorneys for Eliza White a Ncz Perez
woman and her sons Nat and Charles
White. The woman sets up the claim
that she is the lawful wife of the late d.
M. White and therefore entitled to one
half of the large fortune left by him.
The woman pleads a common law
marriage ard fixed the date i'll June 1868;
and she sets up the fact that she was the
lawful wife of the deceased till 1877,
in support of this claim. AS the wife of
the deceased she claims one half of the
estate as Community property and the boys
each claim one fifth of the remainder as
joint heirs with Mary Kcttenbach, and
William and Forrest White
Many items of the estate are described
i'll the complaint and the whole estimated
at $4,000 It asks that the will now on
file be not ADMITTED to probate, and
that the issues at intcrist be submitted to
a jury trial,
The pleading Of this relationship on
the part Of Nat and Charley White was
not altogether surprise i'll this com
munity. The carly social alliance Of
deceased was common knowledge and
never denied. Mr.. White tacitly adj
mitted the relationship now claimed by
the boys but the woman was discarded
more than twenty years ago. The com
mon law marriage was annulled by a
common law divorce.
1t may be said to the credit of the
deceased that he practiccd no receptions
in his social relations lie regretted
what he called the indiscrctions of his
youth and attancd the wrong iii
every way possible for an honorable and
an upright man. The plea that the so
called marriage was not annulled is based
upon tcchnicality and the suit to
establish the relation of widow on the
part of the discarded Intlian woman is
very regretable at this time. Without
passing upon the justice of the claim the
public depricate the method of the
attack upon the will
1t is reported that the will now on file
recognized the boys Nat and Charley by
stipends of SIo each. This was no doubt
instigated to extinguish their probable
claims agains the dead mans estate.
And it is the opinion of good council
that the end was accomplished. This
act that thworted the direct claim of
heirship promoted the claim of legal
marriage and the relation ofwife as last
resort. The practice of attacking the
characters of rich men after they ARE
dead is too coInmoa.

idaho Fruit Abroad.

While he was gone he saw the leading
fruit dealers Of the principal eastern
cities and found that they were all anX.
ious to secure Idaho fruit The ship
rnents made this year, taken III conjunc-
ton with the display at the Omaha cX-
position, have given the state high rep
utation among dealers everywhere, All
of these say that they will be in the mar
ket looking for the Idaho product here
after.
The fruit from this state gets its rcpu,
tation from its flavor, its colpr and its
keeping qualities. 1t is particularly
good for dealers because of the fact that
it will keep longer than fruit from any
other state. Mr. Shelby narratcs that
from one carload of pruncs which he
sent by freight to Chicago some boxes
were forwarded to Cleveland 10 friends
Of his. He asked them to put the fruit
away, his purpose being to dctcrnine
how long il would remain III good con
dition. Thirty-hve days after the ship
