about 1900. 900 bushels of grain, while

bushels Of grain afioat and temporarily
in store is a record breaker Of the first
dimension. Ice is forming too rapidly
to permit any of the boats attempting
another trip mp the lakes, consequently
this great fleet of grain carriers will be
forced to winter in this port. The rail-
roads are greatly hampered in their
efforts to get the grain to the seaboard
by the snow blockades.

Tells Investigation Commission Of the
Conditions Mt Camp Thomas.
WASHINGTON. Dec. l7.-Major Gen.
eral John r. Brooke testified before the
war investigation commission during
the day that most of the volunteers at
Camp Thomas came supposedly with
10 days rations. but this was the So
called field ration, and, at first. they
We're hungry. This was remedied by
the commissary department quite
piled with all sorts of tentage. most of
it Anticipated, their uniforms were old
and their equipment in general was
what had been accumulated Through
the ~parsimonious policy" Of the war de-
partment through the preceding IS
years. Some We're unNlmed and some
in their citizens clothes, with only one
blanket.
The whole energies Of the command
ing officer We're bent oN equipping this
heterogeneous mass Of men, but the
work was necessarily slow. Early in
June the commanding general was or
dered to send eight of the best equipped
regiments to Tampa, and to do this it
was necessary to strip some Of the regi-
ments to help out others. Even with
this expedient some Of the regiments
left for Tampa poorly equipped.
Did Not Select the Site.
General Brooke said that he had
nothing to do with the selection of the
camp ground, but being assigned there
he made it his business to look after the
water supply and to see that the neces-
sary regulations were promulgated and
enforced. He made official inspections
as frequently as his time would permit
and made strenuous efforts to prevent
the entrance Of hucksters to the camp.
and as a result Of this he said that the
sickness fell off from 80 to Is per cent.
Il deem it proper to say" continued
General Brooke. lin controversionofcer

did inspect the camp sinks and kitchens

I'VE have plenty of testimony before

General Brooke said that there was in
the beginning a great many complaints
of scarcity Of medicines but that the

Had Abundant Food Supplies.

some varieties of clothing at times. it

Speaking of the hospitals General
Brooke said: In justice to myself I
should say that the location of the Frs,
division hospital was not my selection.

surgeon. and il was the one location

it wa working badly due probably tc

General Brooke testified that he gave
his personal attention to the sinks. the
care of the camps. the striking Of tents,
policing the sinks. etc. and by this
means got things under control.
