COMMISSION AT CHICKAMAUGA.
Spends a Day Making an Inspection of the
Now Famous Camp.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 29.-The war
investigation commission spent the en-
tire day yesterday in inspecting the
site of Camp Thomas in Chickamauga
park under the guidance of General
Boynton, General a. p. Stewart "a
member OF the Chickamauga park COM
mission) and E. E. Belts, the engineer
of the committee. The inspection began
at Lytle station and covered all points
of interest in the park and near its bor-
ders which have been in any way in
volved in the controversy concerning
the sanitation of the camp. Special at
tention was given to the point on Chick
amauga creek from which the water
was taken because of the criticisms
that have been made on this source of
the camps water supply. They found
the intake pipe submerged about twen-
ty feet above the mouth of a tributary
creek which drained the camp.
The charge had been made that the
water from the tributary stream had
contaminated the pipe water, being car
ried back into it by means of eddies
and in one case by overflow after a
freshet Gen. Boynton and Mr.. Belts.
who had both been concerned in the 10
cation of the pipe line. admitted that
there had been one occasion when the
creek had OVer1OWeQ ana DTOken a udIn,
thus throwing its water into the main
stream above the intake, but they ex-
planned that this freshet had occurred
at night when the pumps were shut
down. and no water was being taken in.
They called attention to the rapidity of
the flow and to the depth of the stream
and urged the impossibility of infection
from this source.
The commission also gave attention
to the proximity of the various camps
to one another and the depth and Ioca-
.tion OF the sinks. The conclusion seemed
quite general that many of the regi-
uientsa were thrown more closely to-
gether than they should have been, and
that this fault could have been avoided
by moving. as there was sufficient space
that was not occupied for the accommo-
dation of many thousands more OF
troops than were ever present there
Many of the sinks were also found to
have been nearer to the tents thar
proper ideas of sanitation encourage,
and in some cases IL was found that the
sinks were shallower than they should
have been. but this was true only OF
parts OF the camp.
After concluding the inspection OF the
camp Major Giffen was asked to make
statement concerning some criticisms
OF the hospital made in a Vermont
newspaper by Frank A Bailey, who had
spent six weeks in the hospital nursing

made.
DR.. Charles F. Craig. bacteriologist of
the Sternberg hospital, was also eX-
amined. He was questioned especially
with reference to the water supply of
the camp and he expressed the opinion
that the water taken from Chicl<a-
mauga river through the pipe system
was purer than that in the wells and
springs of the grounds. He said he had
found some sewer bacilli in one or two
of the wells. though no typhoid germs.
He had also foupd impurities in water
taken from some of the springs He had
made two analyses of the water from
the river. one before the July freshet
and the other after it, and had found il

New York. Oct. 20. - Bradstreet's
says: Irregularity in prices and trade
movements has been rather more
marked this week than for some time
past but measured by all the usual
standards OF business development the
situation is one of exceptional activity
and even strength. The active foreign
demand at advancing prices for Ameri-
can cereals and their products appeared
to have eliminated early in the week
in a virtual war scare market. i'll
which the highest prices reached since
early in August were recorded. The
reaction shown, however, has been a
small one; testifying to nervousness
both at home and abroad, because of
uncertainty as to the crop figures for
the year.
Evidences of reaction in prices are not
confined to wheat, but extend to Lard
and coffee among food products, Bes-
semer pig iron, lead and cotton. while
most other cereals, pork and beef cop
per and print cloths, have remained
steady and unchanged. The Industrial
situation has many points of interest
in it. The iron and steel situation con-
tinues without much change, though
there is shading of prices of Bes-
semer pig iron and b.llets. In other in
dustries the report is generally CT plen-
ty OF work. but at prices which tend to
confirm the claim that profit margins
have been permanently reduced.

Lexington, KY, Oct. 29.-On account
of their disorderly conduct and the sew
eral shooting scrapes caused by the
presence of the soldiers in Lexington
at night, General Sanger, division COM
mander. a few weeks ago issued an
order allowing but two passes issued

bers of these regiments secretly agreed
to rebel against doing any camp service
until the order was modified concerning
the issuing of passes.
The plan, as detailed by one of the
men, was that when the battalions went
on dress parade Thursday afternoon
the men were to stack arms and refuse
to further drill until a change was
made in the order of issuing passes.
The officers got wind of the matter and
at the last moment an order was issued
suspending dress parade for the present.
A modification of the order will prob
ably be made, but IL it is not serious

Marchand's departure from there is not

London, Oct. 2e.-There does not seem
to be the slightest ground for the report
that the British cabinet has decided to

Progress In the DreYfus Case.

Progress In the Dreyfus Case.
Paris. Oct. 2e.-M. Dupuy has formal
ly informed President Faure that he will
accept the task OF forming a new cabi-
net.
Reporter Bard continued his state
ment regarding the Dreyfus case before
the court OF cessation yesterday. He
gave many instances showing the ex-
traordinary manner by which Dreyfus
had been sent to prison and kept there.
Yesterdays proceedings at the court
of cessation were devoid OF sensation.
The only emotion caused ensued upon
the reading Of pathetic letters from
Dreyfus. A significant point was the
revelation of the fact that General De
Boisdeffre gave orders. after the Drey-
fus case was supposed closed. for the
dossier containing the bordereau to be
burned. and expressed surprise after
ward to find that his orders had not
been executed. Thus far the war office
has not been represented in the present
proceedings. and there is still but little
hope of the secret dossier being pro-
duced. especially if-as. however looks
somewhat doubtful-M. Dupuy succeeds
in forming cabinet.
He was premier during the Dreyfus
trial and his appointment delights the
anti Dreyfusites. who see in IL the indi-
cation that President Faure has a great
er sympathy for the army than for the
discovery of the truth. 1t is asserted
that the father-in-law of Dreyfus has
received a letter from the prisoner in

Washington, Oct. 29.-The latest news
here is that the American commission
ers at Paris have set the 1st of Decem-
ber as the date when the peace confer
ence must come to an end. Three of the
commissioners are senators, and it is
their wish to be in Washington on or
very soon after the opening OF congress
According to reports, they have notified
the Spanish commissioners that busi-
ness must be rushed so as to permit
negotiations to reach a conclusion and
results to be framed into the treaty
shape within the limits of next month.
The Spanish surrender to American
terms with regard to Cuba and Porto
Rico, while seemingly complete and con-
elusive, is in reality contingent upon the
acceptance of American terms as to the
Philippines. If the peace commission
ers should fail to agree upon a treaty
the situation in the Spanish West In
dies would remain without formal set
tIement.
Philippines to Come Up Monday.
A dispatch from Paris says: Each
member of the American commission
has separately formulated his views re-
garding the Philippines in his own
terms, and all have been forwarded to
Washington. The transmission has been
by mail and cable. This individual ex-
preston of views on the Philippines has
thus far been forwarded in order that
President Mckinley might have the ad-
vantage not only of the conclusions of
each commissioner. but the added ad-
vantage of each commissioners diction
and personality in the determination of
the ultimate instructions or advice to
the commission. The American are ex-
pected to present an expression of their
expectations to the control, DISPOSE
tion and government of the Philippines
at next Mondays joint session, and they
will look for final counsel from WASH
ington on the subject today.
Report That Is Declared "Stuff."
"A report from Madrid via a New
York newspaper reached here last night
to the effect that the Spanish peace
commissioners will retire protesting
from Paris, because the Americans dis
regard the Spanish propositions. The
correspondent of the Associated Press
submitted the report promptly to
member of the Spanish commission who
declared it stuff and authorized de-
nial."
Another dispatch from Paris says that
The Gaulois takes the view that the
Cuban question was not settled by itself
and that by counter-concessions on the
Philippine question an arrangement
mutually satisfactory will be reached.
But in the meanwhile" The Gaulois
adds. mo decision is possible before the
elections. which is according to the de-
sire of the American commission
