Commission Takes the Testimony of Two
Witnesses and Goes TO Admission.


Witnesses and Goes TO Admission.
Atlanta, Ca. Oct. 22.-The war in
vestigation committee arrived here yes
terday, and after calling upon General
Pennington in command of the depart
ment proceeded to Fort Mcpherson. The
commissioners examined only two wit
nesses here. They were Major Blair B.
Taylor. surgeon in charge of the gen.
eral military hospital here and Rev.
Orvilie ]: Nave, chaplain of that in
stitution- Major Taylor said he had in
the beginning of the camps history con-
siderable difficulty in getting reQuisi-
tions filed, although he had had no
difficulty in getting them approved by
the authorities at Washington. He had,
however, obtained the supplies else
where and no suffering resulted.
Rev. Orville ]. Nave. chaplain at Fort
Mcpherson, said he had visited every
patient who had been in the hospital
and that he had never heard a single
complaint from a man who was
possessed of his reason, while on the
contrary he had heard many express
sions of gratitude and commentator
for the excellent conduct of the hospital.
He said that too little care was taken
of the clothes and other property of the
soldiers, and that those articles were
stolen, oftimes by their comrades. He
had seen some of the surgeons under
the influence of liquor. but not such as
to interfere with the proper performance
of their duties.

A Dutch Ironclad.

1t is of interest to note that according
to some authorities the Dutch were the
first in the modern period of history to
build an ironclad and that during the
siege of Antwerp by the Spaniards in
1886 the people of that city built an
enormous fiat bottomed vessel, armored
it with heavy iron plates and thus con-
structed what they regarded as an inn
pregnable battery. This they named
Finis Belli. Unfortunately the vessel
got aground before coming into action
and fell into the hands of the enemy. 1t
was held by Alexander of Parma to the
end of the siege as curiosity, but was
never employed by either side in any
action. Magazine.

FRENCH GETTING THEIR BACKS UP.
Tone of Opinion in Paris If Growing More
Infiamed and Defiant.


Paris, Oct. PA remarkable change
has come over French opinion on the
Fashoda question during the last forty
eight hours. The attitude of the public
is more inflamed and more defiant. This
is partly due to the tone Of the British
press, but more to the threatening
speech of the British chancellor of the
exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
which The Autorite calls "a provOcation
that is almost a threat of war" The
municipal council of Paris is abused on
all sides for exhorting the government
to avert war. In government circles
the disposition seems to be to resist the
British demands.
1t is reported that the policy of
France, as definitely stated, to Great
Britain includes the retention of Fas-
hoda. Rumors that the Russian foreign
minister, Count Muravieff, has assured
NJ. DeIcasse, the French foreign minis
ter. of Russia's support in the contro-
versy tend TO stiffen the backs of the
higher officials, although these continue
to maintain u couciliatory tone and
declare that France is prepared to car
ry amiability to the utmost limits con-
sistent with her rights and dignity.
The Temps publishes a dispatch from
Nantes saying that the Fourth bat
talon of the infantry regiments COM
prising the Twenty-first division, with
headquarters at Nartes, have COM
pleted their war equipment. Each man,
it is added. has received 12O rounds of
ammunition and his camp outfit. and
the officers of all the four regiments of
that division have been supplied with
revolver cartridges

Significant Nelson Celebration.

London, Oct. 22.-The Fashoda affair
gave significance to the celebration of
the anniversary of the battle of Trafal-
gar. The whole of Great Britain was
stirred to patriotism with unusual fer
vor. The Nelson column on Trafalgar
square was profusely decorated and en-
twined with a spiral chain of laurel
leaves. while laurel festoons hung from
each corner of the capital to the lions
IT the base. which was deliberately en-
bellished with anchors, wreaths, flags
and evergreens. There were also floral
shields in each corner inscribed with
Nelson's great victories, "St. Vincent"
'Camperdown," The Nile" and Ira
falgar." At Portsmouth the masts of
the old-time line-of-battle ship Victory,
Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar, and the
vessel on which he was killed were hung
with garlands of laurels.
