WASHINGTON NOTES.
THE crop bulletins of the department
of agriculture next spring will be CEN
tered more largely upon the collection
and discrimination of exact facts re-
garding crop areas than in guesses on
conditions, thereby reversing the prac-
tice which has prevailed for many
years The reports will have less
disturbing influence upon the specula-
tive markets and will be of more real
value to the trade and to producers.
A DISPATCH received at the interior
department on the 30th announced

be ratified by congress to become eff
fective.
The commissioner of pensions has
been giving some attention to a prop

The Sickness at chiekemsusa Park.

Bismarck Tribune: The boys who went
to Chickamauga from the state with
Grigsby's rough riders have seen about
as hard experiences as those who went
to Santiago. The return of one of them
who went from this city was noted yes
'terday. Nine more from Montana passed
through on the same train and a party of
thirty-fve more invalids are en- route to
this state and Montana. Speaking of the
condition of things, one Montana boy
said: "More than half of the men in camp
there are, sick. belonged to Troop of
the rough riders. There are eighty-one
men in the troop, but only sixteen are fit
for duty. Those who are not in hospitals
are nearly there. If a call was made for
the troops at Chickamauga to go to Cuba
or elsewhere, not half of the men would
be in condition to march. The condi-
ton of affairs there is simply terrible.
"There have been 5000 men in camp
at Chickamauga since the place was es-
tablished as an encampment. The first
regiments that arrived there found the
ground in good condition. They re-
manned there but short time. Their re-
fuse was buried in the earth behind the
company kitchens, and they suffered no
inconvenience from that source. But
other regiments came and occupied the
same places that had been vacated, and
their refuse was buried in the same way.
Little by little the ground became rotten
with decaying refuse, and, as the warm
weather advanced the stuff began to ooze
up through the ground to the surface.
The ground became infected with the
decaying matter, and the atmosphere was
poisoned with it. Then it got into the
drinking water so that at the present
time the wells are literally alive as we'll.
as the ground.
"The cavalry men are worse off than
the infantry, because we have our horses;
and stable refuse to add to the general
unhealthfulness of the camp.

He declared that as national chairman

convention at least month before the

convened and thus prevent any oppor.

agreement between himself and Milton
Park Of Dallas. the leader Of the mil.
