Work at Lexing

LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov 2.-The frs
witness before the War Investigating Com
mission today was Gen. Jos. z. Sanger, wht
| had command of the Third Division. Hi
said the Second Division camp at Chick
amauga was badly located, being in rocky
dug When asked why the Quartermas
ter's Department could not furnish arti
cles necessary for the supplying Of the
army Gen. Sanger said:
1.-The complex system of furnishing SUP
plies to our army is at fault. If there was
one department to supply all the wants Of
the army there would be no clashes and
Chickamauga the control of my division hos
pital was taken from me and taken by the
Chief Surgeon OF the Corps"
The General went into discussion of the
complex system of our war regulations
General Sanger said he considered the weak
point in Camp Thomas was its bad sani-
tary conditions. There were over 600 Ii
censed hpcksters who visited Camp Thorn

General Brooke tried to do all he could,
but he was surrounded by medical board
which did not appreciate the serious con-
dition.
DR.. Huidekoper especially thought DR..
Griffith was unnecessarily alarmed DR..
Griffith insisted that case diagnosed as
IypHolu Hldluflal IeNer was IN reality ty-
phoid fever. He examined Chickamauga
Creek, where the intake was located. An
engineer officer examined it and pronounced
it bad. When asked whether high medical
officials at Chickamauga paid close atten-
tion to their duties, General Sanger said:
Il don't know about others, but l saw a
great deal of DIR. Hudekopcr, who came
through our division frequently"
General Sanger thought Chickamauga
would have been a healthy place for a
camp had the proper precautions been
taken and pure water furnished.

FORECASTS OF
THE ELECTION.
Outlook For Democracy is
Promising.
McMILLIN WILL BE ELECTED
By IA Safe Majority, and the Balance of
the Ticket in Practically Safe-Dem -
Gratis Claims the Next Congress.
McMILLIN WILL BE ELECTEI

But three days longer and the
great battle of the ballots will be
fought. The time for talking has
passed, and the time for downright,
hard work is here ;aDd from now until
the polls close Tuesday the time will
be spent by the party workers in en-
deavOring to get out full vote.
AS the day of election draws near
er, the prospects for a Democratic
victory grow brighter, although a
Landslide is not probable.
The Democrats, to a great extent,
have been aroused from their dang
erous Legitimacy and brought to a
realization of the state of affairs
This being an "off" year, it is very
unlikely that full party vote will
be cast on either side.
The election of Hon. Benton Nc
Millin for Governor is assured by a
majority variOusly estimated at from
5000 to $1,000. However, Fowler
will succeed in getting big major
ity in East Tennessee, and if the
Democrats of Middle and West Ten.
nessee fail to turn out and vote, the
result will be uncomfOrtably close.
In the matter of Congressional
elections, the Republicans will elect
Representatives in the First and
Second Districts, while the Demo.
Gratis will elect in the remaining
eight, although it is thought that
Judge Moons majority over his OPP
ponent, in the Third, will not be
large.
In this, the Seventh District, the
race for Congress is between Col
N. n. Cox, Democratic nominee, and
Hon. j. A. Cunningham, ndepend-
ent. Col. Cox, who beat Hughe:
Republican, and Blackburn (Popu.
list) by a majority of 1886, in 1896
will be re elected this year, but by 4
decreased majority.
In Maury county the Democratic
legislative ticket is entirely safe, tol
the reason that it has no opposition
and the following gentlemen will
represent our county In the mex
Legislature Senator, l.. p. Padgett

In New Jersey the Democratic

In the present Congress the House
is made up of 20l Republicans, 1872

Islands to assume such proportion
of the Philippine debt as has been
spent for the benefit of the islands
or their inhabitants in public works,

1t was also set forth that the Uni

part of the Philippine debt which
had been incurred by Spain for the
furtherance of military or naval
operations to queil Instructions of
