FISH AND GAME. Hon. Leroy 7. Carle-
ton, chairman of the fish and game com
missioners, says that the reports from
northern Maine indicate that the woods
are swarming with deer-more than all
the hunters can need. Moose are also in
creasing in numbers, while caribou are
holding their own. Upon the whole, Mr..
Carleton believes the outlook for autumn
hunting is excellent. A letter las been
received by the fish and game commits
sioners in which Charles A. Wren, a reg
istered guide, wrote that he started in
canoe from Schoodic and in an hour and
twenty eight minutes from the time he
stepped into the canoe he counted II deer
and two caribou. He also stated that he
saw plenty of moose tracks but no moose.

Elections Refuted,

WASHINGTON. D. c., August 20.-(Special)
From the highest possible source comes
the Endorsement of the helthfulness OF
the south. The surgeon general OF 'he
army adds his testimony that cImauc CON
dtions have had nothing whatever to 90
with the health conditions in the
army camps and that had the
troops been property camped and the
ordinary sanitary regulations Observed
those camped in the southern states would
have been as healthy as they could nave
been anywhere in the country
There is no ground whatsoever for the
SUGGESTION that the fever troubles came as
the result Of the southern climate. me
responsibility for that state Of affairs lies
with the officers OF the army, and with
them alone. Not only have ordinary san
itarv rules which they should have known
been disregardcd. but they have failed to
follow direct instructions issued by the
medical department at the beginning OF 'H0
war.
So says the surgeon general Of the army,
