out great discomfort and danger, more
than 1000 men with their equipments. ar
tillery, ammunition, subsistence. medical
supplies and 2.2s5 animals for a voyage of
LOCO miles. Even with this reduction. the
vessels appear to have been crowded.
In spite of the efforts of the quarter
masters department. many of these ves-
sells were poorly equipped with sleeping
accommodations, the sinks in many in
stances were inconvenient and insufficient,
and some of the vessels were badly ven-
tilated and filled with disagreeable odors.
1t has been stated that had the fleet en-
countered severe storm while en- route
for Cuba, the discomfort would have been
intense. and there might have been loss
of life. The quartermasters department
ought to have been able to more thor
oughly equip these vessels, and surely 1t
should have been more certain of their
carrying capacity. A sufficient number Of
vessels for transporting 5000 men. with
the required lighters for their disembark-
alton. should have been promptly furnished,
even had such action rendered necessary

period of its occupancy by troops The
major general commanding has stated that
supplies for 10000 men for ninety days were
ordered there and the confusion on the
railroad when he reached Tampa was very
great, 1.ooO cars being sldetracked. some
of them as far back as Columbia, s. c.
1T is stated that in the hurry and rush
attending the commencement of this work
the contents of cars were unknown at
Tampa; that bills Of ladingwere not for
warded, and that it seemed impossible for
a time to determine where absolutely
necessary articles were located.
Colonel Bird, of the quartermaster's
department, testified that this was cor
rectcd later on, when the contents of the
cars were clearly marked on them, and
bills of lading promptly forwarded.
THE condition of the railroad conges-
tion during the early portion Of the time
Tampa was occupied by troops seems un-
paralleled, showing an almost inexcusable
lack of executive ability on the part OF
those charged with the loading, unload
ing and handling of the trains.
Colonel Bird and General Humphrey
testified that there were, very. poor IA
cilities for transferring troops and supplies

Railroad Company (the Plant system) lead

"Order was finally brought about, the
cars unloaded, the congestion overcome,
and a vast amount of supplies delivered at
the immense encampment.
Congestion also occurred at Chicka-
rauga, probably with not as serious results
as at Tampa. but complaint was made that
materials of different classes We're fre-
uuently packed in the same car, rendering

..The testimony shows that the first call
on the quarterwaster's department was
for ships to transport 5000 men to Cuba,
and that soon after the call was increased
and demand made for steamers to transport

day by NJ. Alexander Pavloff. the Russian
Minister to Korea, who happens TO be IN

NJ. PavIofr was seen at the Russian
Embassy to-day. and spoke frankly on
the recent war rumors. He said:
Il left Korea only four months ago,
going to st. Petersburg. so that my In
formation is quite direct and official. and
| assure you there is no basis whatever
for reports OF conflict between Russia
and japan over Korea. On the contrary,
the two countries have entered into TWO
formal compects by which II Is agreed
that the Independence OF Korea shall be
maintained. These compacts were con-
Guided at st. Petersburg ana lOklo, anu
they are so explicit that the reports OF

| territory show an entire ignorance or the
written agreement under which Russia

ally familiar with this affair, as II devef
oped before / left Korea. Masanpo Ia one
| OF the new treaty ports on the southern
coast OF Korea. There has been no ques-
! ton as 20 the freedom OF the port TO all
nations alike, and no questions OF favor
or discrimination between Russia and
| Japan have occurred as 10 this port but
a purely personal and private difference
arose some months ego as TO the owner
ship Of certain lots at Masanpo. Russian
residents had secured a right TO pur-
| chase the lots. and were awaiting the as
sent Of the Korean Government. Pend
| ing this consent, japanese citizens pur-
chased the same rights. This, however
was purely a private difference. IN which

MAss-MEETING AT ST. PAUL's.
Congregation Gather and Discuss
Affairs of the Church.

Affairs of the Church.
A largely-attended meeting Of the con-
gregation Of St. Paurs church was held
last night, and the affairs of the church
laid before the membership and discussed.
The gathering was held in the lecture
room OF the church, and by S15 the room
was filled. Dr. James McCaw. senior war
den. presided. After devotional exercises
Dr. McCaw stated the purpose OF the
gathering. The church has a number OF
institutions under its control, such as the
Old Ladies Home and the Orphans
Home. While the church has no rector
at present, a supply must be secured and
the choir must be provided for. The meet
ing was called that all these phases Of
the work Of the church might be looked
after A number Of earnest addresses
were made.
Major Robert Stiles urged the whole
congregation to be wide awake and do its
duty for the present and the future as IL
had I'm the past Or. George Ross made
q very strong plea for more liberal giving.
He urged that the church should not get
behind in its obligations. He spoke in
interest Of the churchs standing together,
too. that the committee who should re-
commend a rector might feel that It had
the sympathy and support Of united
church. DR.. McCaw, Mr.. W. c. Bentley,
Hon. B B. Munford. Mr.. Thomas NJ.
rutherford, Mr. Edwin b. Thomson,
and others made addresses along tho
same line.
After these exercises refreshments were
served, and a period Of social mingling
was enjoyed by all.
The entire proceedings were not only in
teresting, but calculated TO be fruitful Of
much good.
