Mrs. Stevens, of Maine, Is to Fill Miss
wiIIard's Place.
St. Paul, Nov. 16.-The first event of
interest yesterday in the w. c. T. u.
convention was the election of Mrs.
Stevens. of Maine. president, the place
Miss Willard so long and so successfully
filed. Mrs. s. NJ. d. Fry was elected
corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Clara
c. Hoffman, recording secretary. There
was a slkirmish fire all day on the
Temple matter, Mrs. Carse bringing It
up every time she saw a chance. and
finally it came to a vote again and the
Temple went down again.
The fight was on a resolution pledging
cooperation in the retirement of the
Temple trust bonds, because the w. c.
T. L. was morally bound to such ac-
ton; no one thought it legally bound
and the friends Cf. the Temple argued
that hearty Endorsement was given the
new bonds by the national convention
in Boston 1891: that such indorsemert
decided many to purchase the bonds.
and that the moral ubliSa;io thus in
CURED by the national union toward
the bOndholGers has been acknowledged
again and again. Even the moral oh
legation was repudiated by many and
the final result was the defeat of the
re eSOlutiCn-15 to 2G1.

DOCTOR FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
Tells the Commission Something More
About Army Hospitals.

DR.. William C. Weaver, of the Ninth
Pennsylvania volunteers. proved an i'm
portant witness. as he gave detailed
information concerning the conduct of
a regimental hospital at Camp Thomas.
Weaver said that typhoid had broken
out about the 18th of June and that it
had increased from that time until the
goth of August. There had been about
600 cases of this disease in the regiment
and twenty eight or thirty deaths. The
doctor said there was an insufficient
supply of drugs and that at times ne
failed to get what was needed. Quinine
was one of the articles of which there
had been a scarcity and 100000 pills
were secured from home.
He said that at one time there were
fifty-six typhoid patients in the regt-
mental hospital because there was no
accommodation for them in the division
hospital. At another time there were
sixty-seven fever patients in the COM
pany tents for whom admission could
not be secured in any hospital. division
or regimental. In summing up the
causes of disease in the camp DR..
Weaver included over-work of the men
as one. TIE first reveille sounded at
4:sO and after that time the men were
kept quite constantly engaged with
drills and other exercises until 6:I5, not
withstanding the weather was intense
ly hot. He also expressed the opinion
that the water from Chickamauga creek
was polluted. He considered the water
in this stream hardly TT TO battle in.
much less to drink
DR. Weaver related his difficulties in
securing tents for the regimental hos
pital and ne SAID that IN one case CHEZ
Quartermastsr Lee had refused to allow
the regiment to have a tent which was
stored and which was its property Col
Lee said the tent could not be taken out
except in the proper military manner
In this connection. Governor Beaver eX-
pressed the opinion that this conduct
on the part of Colonel Lee was an out
RAGE. and he said the only mistake that
the doctor and his colonel had made
was that they had not taken the
colonel by the nape Of the neck and

Paris, Nov. 16.-The Spanish
American commissions met at 2:15
this afternoon and adjourned at 3.
The Spanish commissioners pre-
sented long document answering
the Americans argument submitted
last week. 1t was mutually agreed
TO adjourn to Saturday. The Ameri-

Spanish peace commissioners at Paris
Indicating that tOday's meeting of the
Joint commission will not be the last.
The commissioners. it is added, have
received additional instructions to

War Department Activity.
Washington, Nov. 16.-Remarkabl bic
activity has been manifested about
the war department for several DAYS.
The 10 regiments of regulars recently
distributed throughout the west have
been ordered recruited to their full
strength and made ready for the
tropics. The various bureaus are

orders TO move. 1t is noted also that
some volunteers, lately returned from

Major Louis a. Lagar5e. a regular
army surgeon who was in charge of the
division hospital at Siboney. said the
transports taking troops TO Cuba were
overcrowded. and the air was very
fetid and hot. On his steamer. the
Saratoga, thirteen cases Of fever had
developed going over. The men sent
north were supplied with all that could
be spared. but the hospital authorities
felt that those who went north. even
though short of attendance and sup
plies, were taking fewer chances than
those who remained. IS yellow fever was
even then beginning to make its ap-
pearance. The orders were to send only
such men as could wait upon them
selves. He said he had obtained from
the Red Cross society all that he had
asked for.
There was a shortage of nurses. as
the military necessities were such that
It was impracticable to keep as many
men at work in this capacity as were
needed. Dr.. Lagarde expressed the opin-
ion that the United States could have
a supply OF stores on hand as well as
the Red Cross, and he believed that it
would have done so if such battle as
was fought had been anticipated. There
was sufficient quantity of medical sup
plies. if they could have been unlOaded.
The lighters were all used for unloading
articles of military equipment. and it
had been next to impossible to get the
hospital supplies landed.
Referring to the charge that the sick
on the Seneca had no change of cloth
ing, he said he presumed this was true.
as nobody in Cuba seemed to have more
than one suit of clothing. Further
more. the hospital had no ice to spare
to the transports. Ice was a scarce ar
ticle. The gentlemen of the press had
furnished the chief supply to the insti

any question of sufficient Importance
to turn public attention away from do

In regard to the Nebraska election h
said: "A light vote was cast in Ne

the entire state ticket and carried the
same congressional districts that taey

Philippine Troops Must Stay.

Washington. Nov. 16.-Great pressure
is being brought upon the war depart

in the Philippines return to this coun-
try. Nearly every state that has troops
stationed at Manila has asked through
its governor or representatives in con-
gress that these tfoops be sent home.

London. Nov. 16.-Gen. Merritt
lately in command at Manila. read
with interest the complaint against
the Amer can officials in the Philip
