Secretary Day.


William r. Day was born April IT, 1s4s,
at Ravenna. Ohio. His father,g Luther
Day, was judge of the supreme court or
Ohio. He is graduate of the class of 10
of the University of Wisconsin, and al
ter the close of his college career began
the study of law at Ravenna. Returning
to Ann Arbor to attend lectures, he be-
came librarian at the university, and in
July, 1872, was admitted to the Ohio bar.
Two years later he formed a partnership

He resumed practice in 1887. his
old firm having been changed by the
addition of his brother. Mr.. David
3. Day, to the company, which was
styled Day. Lynch & Day. His fit
ness for public place was recognized by
President Harrison, who nominated him
10 be United States district judge for the
Northern district of Ohio. The Senate con-
firmed him. but by the advice of his
physician. he declined the honor
The President has known Judge Day
almost from the time ne began his prac-
tice in Canton. While Mckinley was
governor of Ohio he trusted to Judge
Days help in deciding many questions
that seemed yexatious and when he was
standing before the country as the candi-
date for President. there was no more
jealous and helpful friend than Judge
Day.
Soon after Mr.. Kinleys Inauguration
TO the Presidency the Cuban question
assumed such proportions that he beliey
ed 1t necessary to send a personal repre-
sentative 10 the island to make an accu-
rate and disinterested report TO him of
the condition of affairs as they really ex-
i-ted. Mr.. Mckinney turned Immediately
TO his old friend and selected him for the
position. When Judge Day arrived in

dent Mckinney had changed his mind and
appointed Judge Day First Assistant Sec

invitation yesterday from B. H. Warner
who is chairman of-the committee of ar
rangements for the grand peace jubilee
to be held at Atlantic City today and
Sunday, to be present and act as chair

Has Been No Suffering.

''In times of peace at our post hospitals
there is nearly always a gradual accum-
alton of the hospital fund from the saw
ing on the ration. for the reason that the
light diet, suitable for sick men. is less
expensive than the full diet provided by
the Government for the Well the money
value of which is turned over TO the sur
geon in charge of the hospital.
The surgeons who have not already
drawn the money due under general or
der ll6 can draw it at any time from the
date this order was issued. There has
been no suffering on the part of the SOL
diers. as every surgeon in charge of the
United States general hospitals has con-
stantly had in his hands money for the
purchase of all necessary articles of light
diet
"A considerable portion of this money
has been contributed by the supply COM
nittee of the Red Cross associations. the
money having been sent to me by Cleve-
land Dodge. 10 whom / am indebted for
valuable assistance in many ways.

Most Liberal Provisions.

when there Were large number. of
typhoid patients living upon a milk diet,
as at Fort Myer, the hospital fund alone
Is more than is required. But in view of
the great anxiety on the part of the
friends of the sick soldiers in ali parts of
the country the Government has made an
additional provision, which in its liber-
ality is far beyond anything heretofore
suggested for our sick soldiers This pro-
vides for 60 cents day for the raw ma
terial of the ration of each soldier in the
hospital, and is in excess of any possible
requirement.
Many of our civil hospitals in New
York city and other localities have offered
10 receive soldiers at 50 cents TO 81 a day
This includes nursing and medical at
tendance, medicine. etc. while the 60 cents
provided by general orders l16 is 10 be
used only for the purchase of articles of
food. No food. cooks, nurses or other in
cidental expenses are paid for oat of this

Another INSTRUMENTATION

Gen. Sternberg is much ineensed at the
newspaper and other attacks that have
been made against the medical depart
ment.
There is to be an investigation of the
hospitals at Chickamauga. Cen Stern
berg made request yesterday of the
War Department that the charges
against the hospital service in the camp
there he thoroughly investigated. Gen
Corbin will detail Gen. H V. Boynton, the
general in charge of Chickamauga Park
TO this duty Immediately.
Referring TO the proposed investigation
Gen. Sternberg said:
THE hospitals there have been amply
provided with every hing necessary. Car
loads of suitable light provisions have
been sent them. There has been no reas-
on whatever why they should not have
been in perfect shape.
IF there has been any carelessness or
any other cause for complaint, it will be
discovered and the people at fault pun
ished severely hope"

His DENIAL OF CHARGES
Signed Statement From Surg.
Gen. Sternberg.
NO SUFFERING, He SAYS
The Order Providing Deficiencies for
the Sick Was Not Held Up and
Assistant Secretary MeiklejOhn
Was Misunderstood According to
the Highest Army Medical Officer.

Surgeon General Sternberg made the fol-
lowing signed statement last night for
The Times relative to the accusation that
War Department order ll6, providing spe-
cial rations for the sick soldiers. was not
promulgated after being issued:
The Statement.
There has been an entire misunder-
standing on the part of the public with
reference TO this matter of providing food
for the sick in the hospitals. Each sick
man is entitled to ration consisting of
flour, fresh beef or bacon, coffee, ETC.,
but the sick man is not expected to live
upon this ration, and it is not drawn in
kind for his use, but the surgeon in charge
of tho hospital draws from the commits
sary department the money value of the
ration and expends this money in pur-
chasing such articles of light diet rs the
sick man requires.
Our hospitals are always sunplied
abundantIy with milk, eggs. chickens and
Other articles necessary in providing a
proper light diet for the sick. In addf-
ton 10 the hospital fund resulting from
the credit due the hospital for the SOL
diers rations. money has been sent by
the surgeon general to every hospital
from a special fund contributed by pa
triotic citizens, and it is believed that be-
fore general order 1l6 August TO- was is

provided with an ample suitable light
