After the doctors had dispersed General
Wheeler said to Colonel Forwood that there
had been a number of complaints from peo-
pie who were unable to get answers from
the general hospital when they rang up that
institution on the telephone. Colonel For
wood said his doctors could not leave their
patients to answer telephone calls
Then detail man to do nothing but an

there be an alphabetical list made of all the
patients in the hospitals as they go out and
in? There is complaint of lack of system"
Il cannot do it," said Colonel Forwood
We'll, then, I'll show you how said Gem
eral Wheeler, and he told the chief surgeon
of the hospital to get an indexed book and
put down each patients name under his
initial when he came in and to check it off
when he came out. Then the General made
some very decided remarks about the way
things were being run in the hospitals. Col.
ForWood said something about being unable
to pass into the detention hospital himself
If all of General Wheelers orders were
carried out, whereupon General Wheeler sat
down and wrote out a pass for the chief
surgeon to go in and out when he chose.
Colonel Forwood looked very much sur

GEN. BuELL's PASSING.
Noted Career OF the Aged Soldier
Now Near Deaths Door.

CALHOUN, KY, Sept. 4-Gen. Don Car
los Buell., whose fame on the battletields
of both the Mexican and the civil war has
given luster to American soldiery is fast
nearing his end at his beautiful but modest
home, Airdrie, which is about four miles
from Rockport, Ky. Since General Buell. $
condition was made known to his friends
throughout the country thousands of letters
and kilograms have been sent by persons
eager to express their sympathy to members
of his family. While his condition is pre-
carious, he is at times able to ride out but
his physicians realize that his troubles are
of serious nature, and that another severe
spell. such as he had few days ago, will
probably prove too severe for his physical
strength.
The passing away of General Buell. will
remove character conspicuous in military
life. General Buell. was born near Marietta.
O., March %. 1875 and he was therefore
eighty years old last March. He graduated
at West Point in 1S41. and was in the war
with Mexico participating in the battles of
Palo Alto. Resaca de ia Palma. Monterey.
Vera Cruz. Cerro Gordo and Cherubusco.
Ee distinguished himself for gallantry and
was promoted brevet major.
When the civil war began he was made a
major general, and his career as such Is;
well known. 1t is unnecessary to review
his Connection at Shiloh, where he saved
the day for Grant nor at Corinth and at
Pefryvillc. These are all matters OF history
He resigned his commission in the army in
June. 1864 His course at Perryville and
the escape of General Bragg (who was said
to be his brother-in-lawl from that place

THE FRENCH CRISIS
PUBLIC FEELING DEMANDS REVISION
OF THE DREYFUS CASE.
German Emperor ContemptuOusIy
Compares the Dervishes with
the Army of Napoleon.

PARIS, Sept. 4--Owing to the resignation
of NJ Godefroy Cavaignac, of the ministry
of war, President Faure returned to Paris
this morning and conferred with Nj. Del
casse, minister for foreign affairs, NJ. Bour-
gois minister of public education, and Gen.
Zurlinden The Cabinet will meet to-mor-
row expressly to deal with request of
Nine. Dreyfus for a revision of the pro-
ceedings of the court-martial that con-
demned her husband.
AS the Cabinet is now practically unani-
mously in favor of revision-partly because
the ministers are aware that there is no
other method OF satisfying public feeling
the outcome of the meeting is almost a
foregone conclusion. It is not thought that
M. Cavaignacs retirement will involve the
resignation of other ministers. The fact
that General Zurinden has been in confer
ence with M. Faure is taken to mean that
he will succeed NJ. Cavaignac at the War
Office.
The ministerial conferences which have
been continued throughout the day have
had to do with the details of revision. There
is no foundation for the report that the
Chambers will be Immediately convoked.
According to lie Soir, M. Faure, who re-
ceived M. Cavaignac to-day, strongly urged
him to withdraw his resignation. The
paper also asserts that at the council to-
morrow the President will endeavor to pre-
vent a decision in favor of revision. On the
same authority it is announced that General
Roger, chief of NJ. Cavaignac's military
staff will retire, at his own request. The
name of General Saussier formerly military
governor of Paris is mentioned in connec-
ton with the War Office portfolio.
In her letter to NJ Sarrien the minister of
justice, Nine. Dreyfus says she addresses
him again. since ne alone has the right to
demand revision on the ground of a new
fact" She argues that Lieutenant Colonel
Henrys admission of forgery deprives his
dispositions and acts of all. weight, and con-
cudes her appeal by calling on M. Sarrien
to listen to the voit Of public opinion and
put an end to the punishment of loyal and
innocent man."
The Temps, Idberte and Journal des De-
bats express regret at NJ Cavaignacs OBJ
duracy" asserting that it adds to the diff
culties of the situation.
The services at the interment of the re-
mains of Lieutenant Colonel Henry at
Poorly yesterday were civil, the Bishop Of
Chaons having forbidden religious services.
Several staff officers were present at the
ceremony.

TAKING UP TORPEDOES
VIII Be stopped Because of the
Wrecking OF the MeiGs.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. A Fort st.
Philip special to the Picayune says: When
the John r. Meigs had her forecastle blown
off there were six men hurled by the shock
into the Mississippi who never came to the
surface. Three others were thrown into the
river, but were not so badly injured as to
prevent their climbing back upon the boat.
Contrary to the advices received Saturday
night, the Meigs did not sink Immediately.
Disabled as she was, she was carried by
tide and a stiff wind to the east bank, where
her stern grounded and her bow swung out
and pointed down stream. Nearly every
thing of value had been recovered before
she lurched off the bank on which her stern
rested and plunged bow foremost into the
deep water of the channel. The men hurled
to death by the dynamite never saw the
mine that exploded. The shock came when
it was several feet beneath the surface. The
six men killed were:

Davis was at the wheel at the time of the
explosion, and the OylnB fragments OF the
torpedo and the shattered steel deck tore

ever, escaped unhurt. Lieut.. Henry Jervey
was within a few feet of the pilot house.
and he too was fortunate enough TO es-
cape unhurt. Night Waterman Frank
Coape, asleep in his cabin on the boiler
deck was awakened by the crash to find a
hole gaping in the roof and his bed damned
against the wall by piece of the steel
deck He climbed out through the hole.
Lieut.. Jervey and Pilot Davis were also on
the boiler deck d. Z. Reddicks was blown
into the river A piece of steel went through
his right forearm ard another tore off a
piece of his scalp. Engineer Layne was
blown into the river and escaped injury
1t was about II o'clock. and there were
nineteen people in the boat when the
plosion occurred. 1t was noon when the
Meigs sank Her entire forecastle was
blown OFF and nothing but her water-tight
compartments prevented her immediate
sinking.
"a column Of water was hurled fifty feet
high into the air and debris blown several
hundred feet high. Portions of the torpedo
and steel deck fell on the east bank In front
of Fort St Philip. 500 feet from the scene of
the wreck. Major Quinn arrived at Fort st.
Philip at o clock. He stated that no more
torpedoes would be taken up. The work
will be abandoned. There are nineteen still
in the water. Major Quinn and Lieut.. Jer-
vey agree that the accident is iuexplicable

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept 4.-Governor
Bradley and his corps of surgeons and
nurses returned to-day with the Kentucky
hospital train from Chickamauga. The Gov
ernor, after personal inspection of Camp
Thomas, does not credit many stories of
neglect of soldiers at Camp Thomas by their
officers and says the situation there is much
more favorable than he expected to find
Fifty-three sick soldiers from the Second
Kentucky Regiment were brought back on

the train were very complimentary in talks
concerning Sternberg and Letter hospitals
and say they think the prevalence of typhoid

The Hay Fever Association.
Baltimore Herald.

The annual meeting of the United States
Hay-fever Association has just been held
at Bethlehem, N. H., after a spirited but
frntless discussion of what Mr.. Henry
Ward Beecher described as the most aris-
tocratic of ailments"
There were many eloquent speeches by
delegates, much sneeZing, and a generous
lachrymosal tribute but even the wisest
of the hay-fever veterans were unable to
report the discovery of an adequate remedy
The Rev. Dr. Peacock, of Philadelphia, the
most venerable of victims, who is famed
as the proprietor of case of hay fever
for forty years. and who is justly proud
of the distinction of being the Methuselah
of the association, announced his convic-
ton that there was no cure and never
would be.
Hay fever is a very peculiar disease In re-
spect to its abnormal tenacity. It's mildness
is usually such as to suggest that 1t would
be easily durable but 1t is one Of the tough
est of maladies to deal with. AS the itch is
said TO be the soldiers only true friend
because it always sticks to him. so the hay
fever periodically returns with a fidelity
which is only a little short of wonderful.
In0eed, it is suspected that there are many
hay-fever opponents who are very proud
Of their affiiction and would not willingly
part with it, This is particularly the case
in New England where there is a tradi-
tlonal belief that none except descendants
of the Mayfiower pilgrims can have the
disease.
AS govt is the visible and outward sign
of sumptuOus living, so hay fever is an in
dication that mans ancestors were some
punkins

Cleveland that he was relieved of financial
embarrassment.
he was appointed a major general and
then retired as such at full pay. and on such
honors he has closed his career at his quiet
home at Airdrie, on Green river.
He has been engaged in no undertaking
of any kind since his failure in a coal min
ing enterprise. He once operated a coal
mine extensively and used to carry its
product to Memphis on harges towed by
tug named Robert Fulton. but this was
wnen the river was controlled by the Green
and Barren River Navigation Company,
and this company exacted such tolls from
him that he could not continue to trans
port his coal on the river, and facilities for
entering markets elsewhere were poor, and
he finally failed entirely.
His retirement was compile in every
sense. Persons who would go on excursions
to Airdrie from here would return saying
they had been denied the pleasure OF see

his home. His death will not only remove
