QUARTERMASTER
GENERALS REPORT,

Washington Nov. THE annual re-
rort of Gen. Ludlngton, quartermaster-
general, Is a review of the work done
by his department during the year. The
most interesting feature Is what he has
to say regarding the transports, IN
view of the desire In some quarters 10
dispose Of them He says that the
ships are fitted up In the best possible
shape for the transportation OF troops
and that representatives OF foreign ma
tons have asked for the plans OF the
fittings with a view of improving their
transports. The report continues;
Nearly every ship sailing from Ma
Mia had on board about 100 sick VINO
we're provided with every attention and
comfort in the transport hospitals tha'

hospital ashore.
"Of the many thousands OF persons
who have been transported on the ves-
sells Of the army transport service since
It's inception, not one life has been sac
rifced by reason OF any fault In the
fittings or accommodations upon the
army transports. d,
In view of this excellent record, ana
Of the experience Of the department IN
its futile efforts to secure suitable COM
mercial ships for the transportation OF
armies during the war with Spain ana
the further fact that when Withdrawn
from active service transports cannot
be advantageously disposed of by sale,
] am firmly convinced that, even though
circumstances should permit the WITH
drawal Of the transports from regular
line service to the Philippine ISLANDS, II
would be wise policy to retain sum.

eral children. The time Of his funeral
has not yet been decided upon.
LOVED BY HIS EMPLOYEES
II has been wisely observed that one
of the strongest estimates OF a man >
character, Is the esteem In which he Is
held by his employes--by those who Ia
Dor under his direction, and yet VINO
stand at his side and assist him In MS
struggles 20 build up business to
become captain Of Industry Ac-
cording to that idea the measurement
of Orson II. Petit as a man must rank
very high as attested by a pathetic in
cident Witnessed in his place OF busl-
ness this afternoon. In very few MIN
utes after the receipt of the message
that announced his demise a represent
tative OF the News" was In the Coop
Furniture store for the particulars OF
the sad event lie found all of the
men gathered In the center OF the store
discussing the sorrowful tidings. Ev-
cry time a new member Of the little
gathering arrived he asked trembling,
"ls IL true"
But he would get no further as the
response In chorus was, Yes II Is
true" Then there was a recital of de-
tails as tears flowed and words Of sor-
row were expressed.
Finally one OF the men stepped for
ward and said I'VE can't tell you much
about his personal life or business. But
we can tell you that the men in this
house have lost the best friend they ev-
or worked for l have been here with
him for five years under all kinds OF
pressure and never got cross word
from him all Of that time"
Then another checked his emotions
long enough TO exclaim, "and | have
worked for him for u years and never
had a cross word. He never spoke
harshly to us, did he, boys?' And ey-
cry one added TO the chorus OF noes,
which was supplemented by the state
ent that "he always helped us when we
were In trouble and never scolded us at
any time"
II may be that other eulogles win be
paid the memory Of Mr. Petit but 1t
is doubtful If any win be as touching
and sincere as the one contained In the
above sentiments uttered by those who
had known for long time the man for
whom they toiled. and to whom they
looked, much as children look to
