War Commission Investigates Con-

Encounter No Complaint From Any Of the
Large Number Of Sick.
The Different Wards Found to be

Messroom Abundantly Supplied
With Food, Which Was Rel
ished by Convalescents.

ATLANTA (Ga), Oct. 21.-The War
Investigation Commission arrived here
to-day at 10 o'clock, and after calling
upon General Pennington, in command
Of the department, proceeded to Fort
Mcpherson. The only work to be done
here is in connection with the hospital
at the fort
The members separated into parties
of two each for the purpose Of visiting
the various divisions of the institution.
They found the barracks at the post
had been transferred into hospital
wards. and Notwithstanding the day
was wet, the wards were all found
to be comfortable and warm. made
so in each case by large stove in
the center of each room. There are
322 patients in the institution, and
many Of them are convalescent
The Commissioners talked with sur
geons, nurses and patients. They en-
countered no complaint from the sick
men, and the nurses stated that the
work was constantly growing less and
less irksome, owing to the decrease in
the number of patients.
They also visited the mess hall OF The
convalescents while they We're at din
ner, and the diet kitchen while dinner
was being prepared. They found the
men in the messroom abundantly sup
piled with food and partaking OF it
with a relish known only to men who
have just recovered from typhoid fe-
Ner
The Commissioners examined only
two witnesses here. They We're Major
Blair B. Taylor, surgeon in chargs of
the general military hospital, and Rev.

stitution. Both appeared at tie after
noon session of the commission.
Major Taylor related the history of
his first inspection He said that re-
Gently he had no difficulty In securing
supplies, as he had been given carte
blanche to purchase them. This au-
thority had not been given until the
1st of August, whereas it had been
asked for as early as June 18th. He
had in the beginning of the camps 8
history considerable difficulty in get
ting acquisitions filled, although he
had no difficulty in getting them ap-
proved by the authorities at Washing
ton. One requisition made on the
10th of May and another on the 4th Of
June had not been entirely filled until
very recently. These acquisitions had
been made upon the New York supply
depot, while all that were made Oh
the st. Louis depot had been promptly
filled. One hundred and sixteen cots
ordered in the beginning of the season
had only arrived day or two since.
and they were not now needed.
DR.. Taylor had, on account Of the
delay in filing these acquisitions, been
compelled to cali upon the Surgeon
General for a portion of his surplus
fund, and had thus prevented any suf-
fering among patients. Among the de-
partments in which there was delay in
delivery was bed linen.
DR.. Taylor said he had found the
present Communication of 90 cents day
more than sufficient to furnish food for
the sick men, and he expressed the
h1.
sufficient for the purpose Of supplying
food.
Dr. Taylor stated that a large pro-
portion of his patients had been re-
ceived from Tampa, but that some had
come from Jacksonville, Chickamauga
and other points. He also said that
many had been sent here who were not
in condition to be removed, as many
of them were typhoid fever patients,
and in such cases repose was a prime
necessity. Many patients had died
soon after arrival.
Rev. Orville j. Nave, post Chaplain
at Fort Mcpherson, said he had Wis
tied every patient who had been in
the hospital and that he had never
heard a single complaint from among
them. He had heard many expressions
of gratitude and commendation for the
excellent conduct of the hospital SER
vice. He expressed the opinion that in
the conduct of the military hospitels
generally there was too little care Of
the clothes and other property of pa
tients. The custom is to put a sick
mans clothing under his pillow when
he enters a hospital, and Mr. Nave
said that the man often never again
sees either his clothing or articles that
may be left in the pockets. He had
known of many instances in which
men were brought here with no clothes
except their. night shirts, and he had
secured no fewer than 100 suits for
such unfortunates. In a word, the
thieving which had been going on, ana
the petty peculations which have been

MATTERS BEFORE.
THE GENERAL CONVENTION.
Changed Conditions in Cuba, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and Philippines
Bring Increased Cares.

WASHINGTON, Oct 21.-The in
creased responsibilities of the Episcopal
Church, through the changed condl-
tions of Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines, was presented to the
general convention to-day in the re-
port of special committee appointed
to consider the condition Of affairs in
these outlying islands
AS to Hawaii, the joint committee re-
ported that the status was not a sim
pie one, owing to joint action with the
Church Of England which has been en-
cred upon by agreement withfthe late
Bishop of California. Without ex-
pressing an opinion as to the ultimate
church work in Hawaii, as a part Of
the United States, the committee rec
commended that good faith required a
conference with the Church of England
before entering upon independent work.
The committee proposed resolution
that missionary work begin in Porto
Rico after conference with the Bishop
of Antigua.
The conditions in Cuba, the commit
tee reported, were practically the same
as in Porto Rico. Some help had al
ready been given the Cuban people by
the Church Missionary Society. In
view of the desirability Of full infor-
nation, the committee recommend a
joint commission to consider the sub
ject. The committee also pointed out
that attention must be given to Cuba,
not only as a possession Of the United
States, but as possibly an independent,
f-governing country.
Concerning Hayti, Mexico, Brazil and
other countries, it was recommended
that the increased responsibilities be
submitted to a joint commission Of
three Bishops, three clergymen and
three laymen.
The report caused much controversy.
The California and Oregon deputies de-
sired immediate action as to Hawaii,
pointing out that postponement might
lead to serious results.
The committee recommendations
finally We're upheld, and it's several
resolutions adopted.
Among the propositions adopted were
those establishing new missionary
district in Kioto, Japan; discontinuing
further revision of the hymnal, agree
ing to a further conference with the
Bishops on final date Of adjournment,
and naming a special committee to re-
port on the question Of a standard
Bible.
The House Of Bishops agreed on a
committee of five Bishops-South Da-
kota, New Mexico and Arizona, the
Platte, Spokane and Duluth-to prepare
a code Of canons for missionary dis
