ALGER GRATIFIED.
dition of Camps Was Fairly
Satisfactory.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 Secretary
Alger has returned to Washington He
came to the war department yesterday
morning.
Later, he made verbal report to the
president on the inspection of the
army camps which he has just con-
cluded.
On leaving the White House, Secre-
tary Alger said he was much gratifed
with the conditions of the camps gem
orally. He was gratified especially to
find the men i'll the hospitals steadily
improving and that there We're SO many
convalescents, where the odds against
them from their maladies had been
great. Most OF the men in the hospi-
tails, he said, were in good spirits, cheer
full and happy and brightly looking
forward to the time when they would
be well again.
In q general way the camps were kept
satisfactorily, but there were, he CON
coded, points which might have been
improved upon, citing particularly the
unsatisfactory condition Of the sinks at
some places.
''The main trouble / found. +" said
Secretary A1ger, "was the lack of care
the troops took of themselves. This
was one Of the great difficulties encoun-
tered. Tents outside the camps con-
Quoted by private enterprise proved too
tempting for the soldiers and the re-
suits Of improper and injudicious eat
ing soon manifested themselves in the
general condition of the men, These
were things which sometimes could not
be helped, and where there was a most
rigid discipline along these lines the
improved state of affairs was evident "
The secretary said the reforms or
changes which might result from his
inspection would be discussed later.
Secretary Alger says the report of a
scene in General Breckinridge's head
quarters at Lexington when he was in
speeding that camp is absolutely with
out foundation. Secretary Alger and
Generals Ludington and Sternberg each
have letters from General Wiley, who
was reported as having made accusa-
lions against them, expressing his re-
greet that any such report was cirou-
lated

CROKER WILL FIGHT IT.
Credentials Committee Decision Would
Put Hill In Power-Danforth a
Strong Candidate Mt Syracuse.

SYRACUSE, Sept 29.-The chaotic con.
dition Of the delegations to the state
Democratic convention was accumulated
by contest precipitated by the action
of the committee on credentials in con-
firming the sitting delegations in the
three districts of Erie and seating the
contesnng delegates in the First and
Third of Monroe. This action, if APP
proved, would probably give control of
the next state committee to ex-senator
Hill, and at midnight last night it was
alleged that Mr. Croker and Tammany
would fight the adoption of the report
on the floor of the convention today.
1t was also asserted that the Tam
many delegates, finding the upstate
sentiment strongly against Van Wyck,
have thougnb of taking up Judge D.
Cady Herrick of Albany as their can
didate, to prevent ex-senator Hill
nominating Mr.. Stanchfield and to COM
bat any idea that Hill has defeated
Croker. at midnight it was generally
conceded that Mr.. Danforth will go
into the convention with more votes
than any other candidate, but not
enough to nominate. The Stanchfeld
boom has grown rapidly.
