Over in Norfolk not SO many days ago
there was witnessed the climax to one
ot the most notable marine tragedies
in the annals of modern history; the
closing chapter in the life of the most

1t is too late now to question the

perchance. it was too severe matters
little to any one now, and to John
Andersen, not a all.

GOV. BLACKS OPINION
OF the Condition of Things at Chicka-

Chattanooga. Tenn, Aug. 31.-Gover-
nor Black was seen last night by an
Associated Press representative and was
asked as to the conditions as he found
them in the camps of the New York
regiments as we'll as those at division
hospitals. Governor Black said there
appeared to be "a perfect hydrophobia"
among newspapers over the condition
of the soldiers. that the press bristled
with such phrases as ''hoIlow-eyed"
and starving" in articles descriptive
Of the troops. He gave it as his opin-
ion that the matter was exaggerated,
manufactured in newspaper Offices"
and the outcome and result of Jour
Dalistic knavery." When assured that
his views would be printed verbatim
and not withheld because they failed to
concur with the present newspaper
craze his excellency gave the following
interview:
My impression" said Gov. Black, of
the camp of the New York troops at
Chic+,amauga is not half as bad as I
expected it would be. The unfavorable
condition of the camp and hospitals
has. beyond n doubt. been very greatly
exaggerated by the papers. The division
hospital in which the sick soldiers of
the Ninth New York infantry are quar-
tered is certainly in very bad condi-

10 a. m. Monday. Soon after the call
for this convention was originally is
sued it was withdrawn and there have
been conflicting reports as to whether
the convention would be held. 10 A
Parker, of Louisville, secretary of the
National Reform Press association, was
here yesterday representing Chairman

convention is called for next week be-
cause of the very low rates on the rail-

Cincinnati and the fact that many

have died and that by the time the con-

proved there Will come the period OF

are almost useless according TO DR.

who went frbgh Chickamauga and the
other camps to Porto Rico were al
ready in the first stages OF typhoid fe-
yer before their departure for the West
Indies. He says the germs had begun
TO propa gate in their systems II the
men could have gone home and received

capped. but exposed TO the hardships of

and reduce the camp just as rapidly as
possible
