Thirty Sick List.
Thirty privates We're reported sick at
sick call this morning. None of them had
other than minor ailments. The men are
suffering mostly from colds. Many of the
privates are without shoes, but it is under
stood that a supply will be sent from Phila-
delphia today.
The regular order of the day has been
observed Reveille was sounded at 5:45
O'clock and mess call at 6:15.
For some unaccountaDle reason the troops
sent to camp are urIoaded at Dunn Loring.
Why this is cannot be understood The
road from Dunn Loring is fully one mile
further than the one from West Falls
Church, and in addition to this. the road
from Dunn Loring is very muddy, while the
one from West Falls Church is especially
good.
Maj. Bell, inspector general rifle practice

to distribute the sharpshooters' crosses and

NEEDS OF THE MEDICAL
 BRANCH OF THE ARMY
General sternberg Appears Before the House Committee on Milf
 tary Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. T.-Surgeon Gen. eral Sternberg of the army was heard by the House Committee on Military Affairs to-day concerning the proposed increase in the army. In the main the hearing was confined to the bureau needs with reference to the recent war. General Sternberg said the medical branch of the army at no time had been adequate, even in time of peace. Now that 1t was pro- posed to expand the army fourfold, the medical branch should be expanded at least threefold. He urged that the most essential need ofethe medical corps was to have experienced men quickly available for emergencies The want of experienced medical officers had been the main trou- ble in the recent war.
 The surgeon general, he believed, should be given the rank of major general, al- though he hardly expected this to be done. He was ready to go on until retirement on the present basis himself, and merely urged the rank as a matter of proper or

CONTROLLER COLGAN'S
 BIENNIAL REPORT
Coming Session of the Legislature Is Expected to Cost the State
 S125,5OO.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 17-Controller Colgan to-day filed his biennial report with Governor Budd. The report shows that during the past two fiscal years expenditures have exceeded receipts by $S27 055 79. The law of 1893 imposing a tax on collateral inheritances has. during the past two years, added $144.- PIT to the school fund.
 Attention is called to the fact that there is no provision for replacing buildings destroyed by fire except by a legislative appropriation, and the re- port recommends that a fund be set aside which can be drawn upon for erecting or repairing buildings without waiting for an appropriation.
 It is recommended that d fund be created to be used in the case of the National Guard being called to suppress riot or in other emergency.
 The report concludes with estimates of expenditures for the next two years. It is estimated that the coming Legis- lature will cost the State $125, ,5O0. No les sthan $406,150 is thought to be necessary for military purposes. The cost of the State printing office is put down at $2S5, 300.
