had been any refusal to land medical stores
1t had been impossible to secure labor as

to assist In landing food for themselves.
He was satisfied that ample facilities had

supplies, and that there would have been

Captain Mckay took exception to a refer

he called the wandering proclivities OF the

said IF the transports developed any wan

after arrival to allow the officer in come
mand to notify the transports that a change
had been made in the directions for landing
He thought Captain Hunker had given this
information, and he had stated that they
were to pursue a south, southeast course
He had said nothing as to how long they
should steer in that direction. This course
pursued indefinitely, would carry them six
points off the coast. This order led the
transport officers generally to conclude that
they were to sail TO Porto Rico and as a
matter of fact, the Knickerhocker did sail
thirty-five miles and got lost for twelve

CONDITION PERFECT.
Partial Report from Commission Ex-
aiming the state Institutions.

Francis T. Roots, of Connersville, who,
with Senator Goodwine and Representative
Strather Herod, is serving on the legislative
commission to examine the penal educa-
tional and reformatory institutions of the
State. was seen last night regarding the
work of the commission. The work of eN-
amining the institutions in this city. with
the exception of the Central Hospital for the
Insane was completed yesterday. In the
Institute for the Blind, the Deaf and Dumb
Institute and the Women's Prison and Girls
Reformatory the management was found to
be almost perfect. The superintendent es-
pecially were found to be thoroughly compe-
tent.
Said Mr.. Roots: THE conditions we find
in the Girls Reformatory are that it is very
crowded, as is the Deaf and Dumb Asylum.
1t appears to us that the requests made by
the managers are all very reasonable. There
Is among the people and number OF our
public men a desire to at least consider the
plan of selling OH all the property embraced
IN the different institutions in this city and
with the money realized buy new locations
and erect new and modern buildings, which
the State is badly in need OF. AS an indica-
ton of what could be done in this respect,
the grounds belonging TO the Blind Asylum
can be easily sold for $375,O00 so greatly has
the land appreciated in value. Equally good
prices could be obtained for the other insti-
tutions in this city, and with the money Sc
cured it would be possible for the State to
have new buildings and modern appliances,
besides putting aside good round balance
on the transaction. The buildings are all
old, with few exceptions, and the old-fash-
Toned methods of heating cause a great
waste in fuel. In the Girls Reformatory
and the Deaf and Dumb Asylum the dorIni-
tories are congested and something must be
done at once 10 remedy the condition"
The commission will leave for Plainfeld
to-day to examine the Boys Reformatory.
On Tuesday the members will go to La
fayette, returning to this city TO inspect the
Central Hospital for the Insane on Wednes-
day

say about the story that appeared in yes

had made a political deal by which the
mayor of Indianapolis was to be elevated
to the position OF chairman of the national

contest was a spirited one and the indie
