charge of the hospitals. The evidence in
troduced was brief, the only witnesses ap-
pearing before the commission pelnS Major
Taylor, the ranking surgeon at the post
and Chaplain O. j. Nave, of the Fifth in
fantry.
Major Taylor related the history of the
hospital from it's inception. He said that
recently he had no difficulty i'll securing
supplies, as he had been given full au-
thority 60 purchase them. This authority
had not. however been given until August
list, whereas it had been asked for as early
as the 25th of June. He had in the be-
ginning of the camps history had con-
siderable difficulty in getting requlSltlonS
filed, although he had had no difficulty
! in getting them approved by the authorl-
ties at Washington. One requisltion, made
on the 1Gth of May, and another on the
24th of June had not heen entirely hlled
until very recently. These requlSltonS had
been made upon the New York supply de-
pot, while all that We're made ON the st.
Louis depot had been promptly filled. One
hundred and sixteen cots ordered IN tnc
beginning of the season had only arrived
a day or two since and they were not now
needed. Major Taylor had, on account OF
the delay in filing these requisitions. been
compelled to call upon the surgeon general
for d portion OF his special fund and mad
thus prevented any suffering among pa
tients. Among the articles in which there
was delay was bed linen.
Major Taylor explained that at present
there were only 322 patients in the nos
pitals, many having left In the past lc"
weeks on furOughs--all who reached the
convalcscent state being allowed To leave
for their homes as soon as they desired
to do 50.
Chaplain Nave expressed the opinion th4t
I'm the conduct of military hospitals gen
orally there was too little care OF lhe
clothes and other property Of patients.
The custom is to put sick mans cloth
ing under his pillow when he enters Il nos
pital and Chaplain Nave said th%tt the man
often never sees his clothing or articles
that may be left in the pockets. ite had
known of many instances n which men
were brought here with no clothes except
Their night shirts ana he himself had sc
cured through private help no fewer than
100 suits for such men as had lost their
clothes.
In word" he said "the theving
which has been going on and the petty pee
uiaton which has been pracuced upon
soldiers, oftentmes by their comrades, has
been one of the saddcst features of the
war" While the bodies Of patients were
carefully guarded their property was not,
yet these articles Were often, the chaplain
sa d. very sacred to the patient in case
of his recovery and to his friends and rea-
tives in case Of his death.
In the course Of his testimony before the
commission Chaplain Nave was Interrupted
by General W Wlson, member Of the board,
and asked if he had ever seen while at Fort
Mcpherson any Of the surgeons under the
| influence of liquor, he replied that he had,
but that III his opinion they were not sufi-
GENTLY under the influence to interfere

there seemed to be a studious effort on the
part of his questioners to avoid asking that
question.
Again. he was asked to place the respon-
sibilty for some shortcomings to the eX-
istence of which he did testify to. He re-
piled that long as he wore shoulder
straps he would not criticise his superior
officers.
This reply of itself showed that he has
something to tell which the commission
ought to know. 1t is impossible to believe
that If the men conducting the cXamlna-
ton had really desired to get from the
witness what he did know or did think they
could not have done so. If they cannot get
testimony from men who wear shoulder
STRAPS for fear they will be called on to
criticise their superior officers, the sooner
the commissioners shut up shop the better
1t will be. They could of course have got
this testimony from the witness had they
desired TO have done so.
Their Work Discounted.
II is episodes OF rnis kind that discount
in advance the work which the commission
is undertaking to perform. Seaman may.
as has been suggested be a crank, but he
either does or does not know of lot OF
unnecessary hardships which We're placed
upon the soldiers who placed their lives in
jeopardy for the flag. If he does know
anything of the sort, he should most en-
phatically have been made to tell it; if he
does not know of anything of the sort. he
should have been made to say so in u
straightforward, fiat-footed way that would
have carried conviction with it. and he
should not have been allowed to hide him

Washington, Oc .ober 1S--(Scecial. .)-Those
who are engaged in what might be termed
the wholesale defense of the actions of the
investigation commission are endeavorlhg
to make much of the apparent fall-down
in the testimony of Colonel Seaman, VINO,
as the text of the examination shows, dld
not stand wholly to the declarations he
was understood to have made in Published
interviews.
Colonel Seaman proved a rather testy wit
ness and to those who were on the inside
gave the impression of being man rack
ed bv sickness. He was peculiar, to say
the least: il is true that in the testimony
he gave there was not what had been eA-
pected from the published interviews.
Rut it is difficult to see how the defenders
of the commission-I mean not the leglu-
mate defenders. but these inspired people
who are anxious to see its work develop
into a whitewash-can get very much COM
fort from the examination of Colonel Sea-
man If il showed one thing more lhah
any other it was the inadequacy OF the
examination and an apparent effort on lhe
part of some members to cover up, rather
than TO uncover.
