Assistant Chief of Staff
Also Denies RumOrs of
Discomfort on Border.
ESPECIAL PRAISE
FOR NEW YORK MEN
Absence of Liquor Noticeable
Both Among the Officers
and Privates.
[From The Tribune Bureau


WASHINGTON. July 24.-General Bliss
tonight definitely and finally denieu
all charges Of discomfort and lack OF
supplies among the militia on the
border in a report on conditions IN
the Brownsville district. Not only did
the assistant chief of staff find the men
absolutely contented, but asserted that
sanitary conditions and rationment
were the best ever known in this coun-
try since the Spanish-American war.
every one | have seen," said the
general. "who was in the call for troops
in 1898 speaks of the smoothness with
which this mobilization has been car
ricd out as compared with the con-
fusion at the former time.
"I think the movement would have
been absolutely perfect in every re-
spect could all the organizations nave
remained at their mobilization camps
until completely equipped. Many or
ganizations were rushed to the border
with practically only twenty-four
hours notice. Their equipment, OF
course, had to be largely completed
after arrival here. 1t has been splen-
did experience for every one"
War Office Is Pleased.
War Department officials were par
ticularly pleased at the unqualified
nature of General Bliss report. Al
though they have constantly denied the
stories of hardships suffered by the
militia on the border, the public ap-
parently has refused 20 accept them.
il has discounted them as natural on
the part of officers seeking to cover
up their own deficiencies. General
Bliss's word, it is hoped, will etfectual-
ly dispose of these alarmlsts' tales.
General O'Ryan'g division OF New
York troops comes in for particular
praise from General Bliss because Oh
the notable absence Of liquor either
among the men or officers, who have
set a good example.
In his report General Bliss says that
he has completed Inspections OF the
Missouri, New Hampshire and Maine
infantry, camped at Laredo, Tex, and
found health conditions excellent, less
than per cent of the command being
in the hospital and no serious cases re-
ported.
Water Supply Good.
The water supply. while abundant IN
all cases, General Bliss said. had TO be
boiled for drinking purposes, but the
Laredo authorities would take lmmedl,,
ate steps to insure puriiicatlon and
render boiling unnecessary. The com
mand was reported we'll sheltered, with
the exception of two companies OF
the 4th Missouri, for which new tents
had been requisitioued.
Regarding the food supply, the gen
eral said all officers interviewed by
him had said that it was abundant IN
quantity and of excellent quality. lie
added that a general spirit OF content
ment existed among the men.

The ex-justice is working hard on
his speech of acceptance and will not
make his customary weekly trip 10

chief mediums through which Mr..

CLEANUP WEEK COMING.
City Council Will Likely Take Action
to That End Friday Night.

For some days the question of Clean
up Day has agltated the minds of sew
eral OF our most energetic civic people
with the view of having every person
in town rid their premises of the accu-
mutation of rubbish tnat is usual each
winter
The matter was brought to the at
tentIon Of Mayor J. b. Johnson, who
stated that he was most hes rtily in fa-
Vor of such move and that he would
bring 1t before the board at their reg
ular meeting Friday night and that he
felt quite sure some acton would be
taken that would prove amply etfec.
tive. Just what that action will be
cannot be known now, out 1t is possible
that the city authorities may proffer
to haul away all rubbish free fer those
who have 1t ready By a certain tlme
and who will notify the city authorl-
ties. Failure on the part CT my per
son to avail himself OF the chance 10
get hia rubbish carted away free may
subject them to more energetic meas
ureS by the city.
Cll1 I DUMP.
Since land is now becoming so valu-
able in close proximity to town, 1t
might be wise thing for the city to
establish City Lump al some conven
lent point SO that all refuse may be put
in one place and the property of non
residents generally be not Uttered with
such rubbish.
KILL THE RATS.
There is also movement on foot 20
extermlnate the rats and try to make
of Crossyile ratless town. Some
parties have receny sent away tor
new rat bane that it Is claimed petri-
fies the rats after death and prevents
odor. If it proves what rs claimed for
it the new preparation will be used ex-
tenslvely by our people In the hope of
utterly exterminatlng the rodents that
infest our town. Our people will await
developments with much interest.

CHICAGO, Dec 5.-Need Of new pol

afternoon by Hector Mcpherson. of the

Up TO the present said Mr.. Mcpherson.
both state and federal plans for promotion
of land settlement in the northwest have
fallen short Of expectations. and very few

many eases individuals and companies, he
said. have exploited land 10 the detriment

regulation. considerable communities Of
settler, have sometimes been left stranded
in desert districts. Mr. Mcpherson then
outlined essentials of system which he said
he felt should be adopted. saying, in part

obtain this there must be some central au-

'The second essential is the elimination

these. Most states have already enacted
