HUNDREDS OF SICK
Have Been Sent Away From Camp
Thomas and Conditions are
TuprOVed

Chickamauga Park, Tenn, Aug. 20
The work of moving the First army
corps from Chickamauga has been COM
pleted and the army officials are now
directing attention to the Third corps.
No regiments of this latter corps left
today, but two, the Third Tennessee
and First Mississippi, are expected to
leave for Admission, Ala, tomorrow.
Others will leave as rapidly as trans
portation can be provided for them.
The railroads are now in excellent
shape to do the handling and there will
be no delay on their account. The
whole corps, it is thought can be easily
moved during the week. The Sixth
regiment U. S. V, will remain here for
sometime. The Eighth New York now
being mustered out will probably leave
for home tomorrow.
The conditions in the hospitals at
Camp Thomas are rapidly improving.
At least half of the sick have been
sent away and arrangements are being
made to send hundreds of others. The
surgeons and nurses are now able to
give good attention to all here. A de-
cided change for the better is every
where noticeable.
Governor Black of New York will ar
rive at Camp Thomas this evening. He
comes here for the purpose of examin-
ing into the condition of the New York
regiments. The governor will make a
careful investigation of all the reports
that have been sent out in reference to
the New York regiments and will as
certain if he can do anything that will
benefit the soldiers.

Populist County Politics.

The Populist county central Committee
turned down George w. Clark Saturday
and elected ]. o. BritenaH of Auburndale
as chairman. 1t was generally under
stood that Clark would be reelected
chairman. though he openly said that he
did not want the position But when it
came to a test vote it was found that
Britenan had a large majority. The fight
on Clark is the result of fractional differ
enceS among the Shawnee county Popu-
lists and the election of Britenan will not
serve to smooth out the situation. George
Wagner was reelected secretary. The
question of a joint campaign committee
with the Democrats was left open and
will be decided at a meeting to be held
next Saturday.

CHINA AND JAPAN AGREE
That the United States Should Keep
the Philippines.

Detroit, Aug. 29.-ColoneI Charles
DENLY, who was minister to China for
10 years and was relieved from his post
but a few weeks ago, arrived here yes
terday direct from San Francisco. In
an interview Colonel DENLY said:
In my opinion China will never be
dismembered among the great Euro
pean nations as do not think that the
United States, England and Japan will
permit it,
Colonel DENLY said that the Chinese
trade of Russia, France and Germany,
was small in comparison with that of
the United States and England. Both
China and Japan, Colonel DENLY said,
favored the retention of the Philippine
islands by the United States. While
on the Philippine subject Colonel Den
by took occasion to remark that Ad-
rniraI Dewey's victory had added great
~ to the dignity and influence of his
office as United States minister, the
Chinese heretofore having believed the
United States to be a great commercial
nation, incapable of such victories.
Colonel DENLY stated that the famous
battle had had much the same effect on
Japan. Hawaiian annexation was
something Colonel DENLY said he had
favored for some years.

NED Henderson Not euiltv.

Saturday it appeared in the State
Journals report of the Karniva1
knights MINISTRIES that Mr.. Ned Hen
derson had omitted his part of the K.
K. minstrel program-the sketching-a
the second performance. 1t appears
that an uncomplimentary comment fol-
lowed the statement. Investigation
shows that this was due to an error.
One sentence was accidentally con-
nected with another to which it had no
reference. No slight of Mr.. Henderson
was meant or intended. Mr.. Henderson
had nothing to do with the sketching,
and took no part in either of the min
streI performances, except to make up
some of the performers.

and a large one on the left hip constitute
his injuries.
