that the part he took involves GRIMM

as his whereabouts remained undis-

English and French. who have been
hunting him in the interest Of the

uneasiness dates back to last Wednes-

shops of the Winchester Company and
carried away forty pounds of primer.
1t is difficult to understand how the
thieves could have accomplished their
work undiscovered. The night shift
quit work at o'clock in the morning
and the shops were quiet until 8
O'Clock, with the exception Of the
hourly visits Of the watchmen. When
the day shift came the loss Of the
primer became known at once, and the
report Of the theft caused great con-
sternation at the Office. The officials
of the company could not believe at
first that any one would be so fool
hardy as to commit such dangerous
depreciation.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. %. Secretary
of War Russell A. Alger declared him
self emphatically to-day at the St.
Nicholas Hotel. The Secretary, having
granted permission to privates to talk
freely, himself discussed the manage
ment of the war:
Il have no doubt there were some
abuses" said he. THAT was to be
expected, with such a large army of
unframed men in the field. There
should never have been any lack of
supplies after the first great movement
and | do not know that there was.
The greatest trouble seems to have
arisen from the neglect of sanitary
regulations. The executive officers OF
each regiment are responsible for that.
THE blame for the sickness rests
first on the colonel and then up to
the highest general in the camp. Each
executive officer should have seen to
it that men obeyed the camp rules.
Here we had thousands of the heart
hest men in America. Many had
never been sick and secuted the
thought that sickness would overtake
them. They were careless. But thei,
officers are responsible, for under mill
tary law men can be made to be care
full.

Hall had broken down completely and
was in such condition that it would be
impossible for him to take the steamer

be able TO start on his journey home
but sudden turn for the worse upset
all plans, and yesterday morning DR..
