pon.ment Of a committee of five senators
toryesugate 10 the conduct of the late war,
was laid before the Senate, and Mr.. Allen
took the floor in advocacy of it.
Time to Investigate.
Mr.. Allen said he had no desire to en-
bauass the President, but so many COM
plants had been made by the press and
individuals of the conduct of the war that
he thought it time for a rigid and i'm
partial Investigation to be made. He had,
he said, no confidence in the "Alger relief
committee" which now was conducting
an Investigation of the war. He was sat
isaed that no truthful or practical results
would accrue from that investigation. He
cridcised the sending of troops to Chick
amauga, where they were faced by sick
ness and death. He intimated that the
troops of the West We're sent to Chick
amauga for the benefit of transportation
companies
H declared that there had been gross
irregularities in the handling of the COM
missay and other supplies. He said it
had been charged that the supplies were
in many cases unfit for use. He was sat
isfed the charges were true. If the troops
had been furnished ''embalmed beef" the
people and the world had a right 10 know
IT, He repeated that he had no confidence
in the report that the investigation COM
mission would make.
InteTupting Mr.. Allen, Mr.. Spooner of
Wisconsin criticised him for his anticipa-
lion of an unfair and partial report from
the commission, and suggested that he
might better wait until the report was
lndde before he attacked it.
