THE WORK OF EXAMINING SOL

master and Ordnance stores.

The men in the Third Regiment who are
being examined now are afraid they Will
have become iii and be left with per-
manent disabilities before the last COM
pany IL examined and the regiment dis
charged.
This was the joke current among ofii-
GERS and men yesterday. and was meant
to express the slowness with which the
work Of making physical examinations Is
progressing.
Surgeon Chamberlain finished the OK
animation of Company 1 Captain,
Joseph e. Willard yesterday, two
days being necessary for the work. He
will begin the examination OF Company
X this morning. Unless Surgeon Cham
berlaIn receives assistance, 1t will be
well into November before the regiment
is mustered out. He is very capable
officer, and is proceeding as rapidly as
possible, but the examination is required
| to be so rigid that great deal or time
| Is necessarily consumed by II.
WILL HAVE ASSISTANCE.
Major Price wired Surgeon-General
| Sternberg yesterday, asking him to detail
an assistant for Surgeon Chamberlain,
but before he received a reply and short
| ly after sending the dispatch he received
a printed order empowering him TO en-
gage additional surgeons. II necessary

he had asked the Surgeon-General 10 oe'
tail assistapce for Surgeon Chamberlain
Unless he receives other orders to-day
he will probably order Major Peyton
Al.
rived in the city from his home, in WIN
chester. last night, 10 assist in the wor'
of examining the regiment. No surgeon
"a allowed TO examine the men or TN
regiment to which he is attached.
Already several cases have arisen ii
which soldiers claim to be disabled, an
the surgeon fails to discover such dis
| ability. Such cases will be referred 10
