TESTIMONY OF MAI. JENKs.

before Ex-Governor Woodbury., the war
investigation commissioner, was con-
tinued here Saturday, the testimony of
Major jerks being taken. Major jerks
was in command OF the Second divis-
ion hospital of the Third army corps
He testified: THE number of nurses
furnished by the government was in
sufficient. We could get no tents, food
or medical supplies. When we called
on the regiments for nurses the cap
tains took the opportunity to work off
on us the poorest men; not 8 per cent.
were competent. and many of them
drank. I recommended pavilions en-
closed by mosquito netting for the sick,
but my request was not complied with.
When 1 needed tents I found the gen.
erals headquarters were using quite a
number OF hospital tents which are not
allowed to be used except by hospitals.
Major Hubbard was a very competent
and capable officer. although knew his
faults. There is not another man in the
division who could have done his work.
He was very capable, but irritable and
was always kicking and bowling, SEEM
ing to take especial pleasure in his
coarse manner of salutation. He was.
however, indispensable. had no formal
complaint as to his treatment of a
brother officer. but had one which re-
ferred to his manner of treating visitors
to patients"
Chicago, Nov. The section of the
war investigation commission which
was at Cincinnati last week went into
session here this morning at he Audi
torium hotel. 1t requests that any one
who has complaints to make about the

that the condition of the hospital

the discipline lax. As far as he knew
no patient was ever neglected to the
extent as to materially reduce the
chances of recovery. The chief trou-
bic was the inability to get quarter

CLAIMS oF THE TWO CHAIRMEN.
Congressional Managers Do the Time
Honored Anti-EIection Act.

HonOred Antl-Elect1On Act.
All over the country chairmen of state
committees and other leaders are max
ing ante-election claims. Except in a
few southern and few northern states
these claims are just like they always
are-dependent upon the politics of the
claimant. In the doubtful states this
year both parties are claiming about ev-
erything. Probably the best summary
of the views of the state leaders of both
parties can be obtained from the utter
ances of the chairmen in this city Of
the congressional campaign committees,
especially in regard to members of con-
gress. AS usual each chairman believes
in the success of his own party.
Says Chairman Babcock. of the Re-
publicans: Il expressed the opinion a
week ago that he Republicans would
elect 1872 members of the next house of
representatives. giving them a majority
of>27 over all. 1 now feel justified in
saying that the total Republican mem
bership viii exceed 1872. and the indica-
tions are that it viii be at least 1877 In
my former forecast a generous conees-
sion was made to the oposition on ac-
count of what I then regarded as dis
tricts upon which they could surely
count I cannot now concede the oppo-
sition as many districts by seven or
eight as i then did. while 1 am justified
in increasing the total number of sure
Republican districts by at least five"
He closes with claim for Republican
majority in the next house of not less
than 80 over all
And this is what Chairman Kerr, of
the Democratic committee, says: I'VE
believe the Democrats will control the
next house. To arrive at this concIu-
sion we have gone over carefully the re-
ports Of local committees. those in
charge and in touch with the campaign
in the local districts. We reiterate our
statement that the Democrats and fu-
sionists have at least 1s6 members in
the next house. and besides this there
are forty-eight districts additional
where they are making a hopeful bat
tie. We can lose all Of these and have
a majority Of 10 over the Republicans

In this room was a 5O0-light gas meter
which was fed by a four-inch main
Very little gas is used in that part of
the building. but at the time of the ex-
plOsion the gas had not been turned off
at the meter. The meter itself was
wrecked and the gas pouring from the
main caught fire. The flames oringinat-
ing from the explosion darted up the
shaft of the elevator, which had been
completely destroyed by the force of
the explosion, and communicated with
the record room of the supreme court,
the Office OF the marshal of the court
and the supreme court library.

stroyed, and serious damage had been
done in the marshal's office and some
minor rooms i'm the immediate vicinity.

600 volumes. Librarian Clarke. after a
cursory examination. expressed the
opinion that many OF the books could
be saved. although they had been
drenched by water from the streams
poured into the library for two hours
or more after the explosion occurred.
Most Serious Damage Done.
The most serious damage, in the opin-
ion OF the justices OF the supreme court.
is TO the records stored in the sub-base-
merit These included all of the records
OF the supreme court from 1892 to 1882.
The room contains records of opinions
rendered by the fathers OF the judiciary
Of the government. Apparently the
documents in this room are either total
ly destroyed or so badly damaged by
fire and water as to be useless. Justice
Harlan said that while the loss OF the
records was irreparable. it was fortunate
that the later records OF the court.
which are kept in the office Of the clerk
on the main floor. were not injured.
In the opinion CT Capitol officials and
mechanics who examined the structure
last night the loss will reach probably
$500. 600 to the building. The loss In
