an, ex-Gov. Stone of Missouri and Con-
gresham Bailey of Texas. National issues
have not figured in the campaign except
as they were introduced by this last class
of speakers, who urged in favor of the
regular nominee on the ground that the
fight in Kentucky this fall is forerun-
ner of the battle of 1900, and Its result
might seriously affect the latter

BITTER FIGHT IN NEBRASKA.
National Questions brought in at
Close of the Campaign.

ClOSc OIL the campaign
Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 4.-The political
campaign, which practically closed In Me-
braska to-day, has been the most closely
and bitterly contested for years. Speakers
Of national reputation have covered the
state thoroughly, aud the interest and en-
thusiasm aroused is nearly equal to that of
a presidential year.
Three tickets are in the field, but the
Prohibitonists will hardly be a factor,
leaders of the party admitting that nomi-
nations were made merely t. keep up the
organization. The fight is, therefore, be-
tween the Republicans with Judge M. B.
Reese for supreme justice, heading the
ticket, and a compact fusion of Popuhsts,
Democrats and Free Silver Republicans,
with ex-Gov Silas A. Holcomb as the head
of the ticket
The Republicans assumed the aggressive
at the outset making state questions the
leading issue. but this was changed as
soon as William J. Bryan en- cred the cam
paign, and for the last month nationaf
ques tons have been discussed almost ex-
clusively. Mr. Bryan has made a thor
ough canvass of the state, speaking In
opposition to imperialism and trusts and in
favor of the income tax. Republican cam
paigners adap ed themsel es 10 the n W
programme and have defended the policy
of the national admin st atom i'm its con-
duct of the war and management of the
Philippines. The currency question has
cut but little figure in the campaign.

SICK MEN BADLY TREATED.
Board of InGuiry'- Report Arraigns
Transports officers.


San Francisco. Nov 4.-The Examiner
says that the most sensational report of
a military board of inquiry ever sent to
the war department from this city has
been forwarded to Washington from the

written pages and contains the severest
kind of criticism Of the methods employed
by the officers in charge of the sick sol
ders who returned from the Philippines
on the transports Tartar and Newport on
Oct. 10.
Upon MAJ. Rafter, the surgeon OF the
Twentieth Kansas Volunteers who came
back on the Tartar the heaviest censure
is laid. Col. Metcalf, OF the same regi-
ment, who commanded the troopship, Gen.
Funston being only a passenger, is indl-
rectly referred 10.
Many other officers are given a hard
measure of criticism. but their names are
being withheld until the war department
sees fit to make known the details OF the
reports
The board of inquiry which has 80 Sc
verely erraigned the transport service
was appointed by Gen. Shafier two weeks
ago. at the suggestion of Col. Alfred c.
Girard chief surgeon I'm the general hos
ptal at the Preside. Col. Glrard's desire
for an investigation was occasioned by the
deplorable condition in which he found
the sick men from the transports Tartar
and Newport. There were about forty
of them, and nearly all were suffering
from dysentery
Three men who came on these transports
died few days after arrival. They were

Complaint Lodged Against the
Sumner Public school.
Cunningham Peyton, of 1907 NJ Street
northwest. recently complained to the
Commissioners that children from the
Sumner School Building, at the corner OF
Seventeenth and NJ Streets northwest. had
been making a playground OF his front
yard and the street in front of his premises.
This was particularly Objectionable to the
complainant, because of sickness in the
family, and request was made for an i'm
mediate abatement of the nuisance.
The complaint was referred to G. F. T.
Cook Superintendent of the Colored
Schools of the city. who secured a state
ment from the principal of the Sumner
School, which was. in effect, that there
was no reason to believe that the school
children from his building were guilty of
the alleged misconduct. The letter of Mr.
Peyton read as follows:

M1LLsR,s RETIREMENT.
Gossip rs 10 Who VIII Command the
Troops rt Homo.


The successor to General Miller as g,
mander of the American forces at iI.--s
has not been determined so far as is
known at the Adjutant Generals office OF
the War Department.
General Miller will reach the age OF re-
tirement on the 9th OF the present month.
and il is understood that in view OF his
extended service in the Philippines and
the consequent depletion OF strength he
will return to the United States after that
date. 1t is not the custom in the army TO
name succeeding officer until after the
date of an outgoing commanders retire
ment. Consequently General Otis. on
whom falls the authority of designating
the next commander Of the troops at lioiios
will not make his selection known until
after the 9th.
General Otis may select ranking officer
OF General Miller to take command OF his
post. but in failing to do this the vacancy
will be filled by the officer in the Depart
ment OF the Philippines who ranks next
to the outgoing commander.
There is considerable speculation as to
the officer likely to be selected.
The retirement OF General Miller will
cause a vacancy in the line Of brigadier
generals Of the regular army. Col. E. "
Sumner. Of the Seventh United States Cav
airy, who now holds a commission as brig
adler general of volunteers. will be pro-
NOTED to the same rank in the permanent
