that the mosquito is responsis

human body of the parasite OF

disease is caused by a spectre
parasite which is found m the
red corpuseles of the blood of
a person affected with it is pro
ven by a microscopic examina-
ton of the blood. There are
two kinds of malaria. accord

in Europe characterized BY a
regular course of lever. while
the second or malignant form
occurs only in the tropics. and
is marked by a very irregular

asserts that after the fever the

More Testimony Before War

Washington, Oct. Three witnesses
were before the war investigating COM
mission today, Gen. Greene, who par
ticipated in the battle at Manila, Col.
Lee, chief quartermaster at Camp
Thomas, and Maj. Hersey, who was for
a time in command of the Roosevelt
rough riders. Each gave testimony
covering his experiences, and while
each one admitted the possibility of in
dividual cases of suffering and discom-
fort, all said that in the vast majority
Of cases complaints were exaggerated,

This witness was followed by Col.
James G. c. Lee who was chief quar-
termaster at Camp Thomas during the
history of that camp. He said that
neither the regulars nor the volunteers
had sufficient transportation facilities
when they came in, and their wants in
this respect were supplied.

supplies, and all had been met with a
remarkably degree of promptitude
Col. Lee dwelt upon the natural diff
culties Of supplying an army of $4,000
men, The hospital and ambulance corps
had been fully fitted out with every
thing, including floors.
There were some articles of which
they were never able to get a sufficient
supply; army trousers, for instance. He
remembered one case in which there

making of contracts with the railroads

him by prescribing conditions with

had protested in sharp and vigorous
language and thereafter there was no
trouble, as the Washington office re-
coded from its position.
Gen. McCook asked for the names of
those who had interfered and insisted
upon having them. After hesitating
somewhat Col. Lee said the difficulty
arose in the transportation branch Of
the department in charge Of Coils. Hec-
ker and Bird.
Pressed to enter into particulars, Col.
Lee said that his contention was that
he should be allowed to make all the

rates had been made at Washington,
and while these were very low, he felt
that he could give better results ifNal-

Complaints from Passengers Who Ride on
tho sixth Avenue Limo at Night.

Complaints have been frequent Of late from
passengers on the Sixth avenue elevated road
regarding the train service after 10 O'Clock at
night. People having occasion to get on board
at stations above Twenty-third street have
found the trains crowded and have been forced
to stand up. The complaints concern particu-
larly the up-bound trains. though the down
trains are also crowded about the time Of the
closing Of the theatres. and in both directions
the intervals between the arrival of trains has
been so great that the platforms are crowded.
So large is the night population of the theatre
and hotel district that. from 10 o'clock. when
the homeward exodus begins, to l o'clock.
when the bulk of the 'supper-after-the-per
formance" crowd is on its way home. the
transportation lines are almost as heavily taxed
as in the afternoon. As traffic is now run on
the Sixth avenue elevated road. half the crowd

Presbytery. Those who attend will be in exec
utive session all day. and refreshments will be
served in the church at noon. This meeting
will be the first OF its kind ever held in this
city. and is intended as a love feast.
The calling of this meeting has created con-
siderable discussion. A Presbyterian retreat
was held at Riverdale last month. and it. Is I'M
derstood that only the Liberals received invi-
tations to this gathering. at least there were
some Conservatives who did not receive any.
These were disturbed. but were unwilling to
do anything to strain the relations between the
already. A man well informed in the situation
said yesterday:
We are going to meet tomorrow to ask for
giveness. for all the sins we. have committed
during, the past year, It will be a love feast
quarrelling il we can. We have all been made
to realize the state Of affairs Of. our denomina-
ton in this city, and that something has got to
be done. What that something will be remains
to be seen.

the Liberals will be present. as l understand
that tho meeting was called at the instigation
OF the Conservatives. who we're put out because
they were not invited to take part in the River
