Washington, September 17 Mr. Evan V. Howell, of Atlanta, Cia.. who was ;iskf -1 by the president to S'tvc on the commission to investigate certain de puTlments of the army in connection with the war, was at the White house today and formally accepted the ap pointment. In his interview the presi- -lit assured Mr. Howell that it was hi.s purpose to S'lCtin" n commission v.hi' h, witliout fear or favor, would probe to the bottom the charges made 'by newspapers and individuals, involv ing the effici'-ncy and integrity of of fi ers of the army, and give to the country the facts. The secretary of war had asked for an investigation and th- president thought it due to all concerned that the investigation be made at once by a commission in whose honesty of purpose and ability there could be no question. Under these circumstances Mr. Howell assur ed the president that he would gladly accept the appointment, as he regard ed it a duty which no citizen should evade. Mr. Howell thought that there would be no necessity for the commis sion to leave Washington during the inquiry Offices for its use would be se cured in or convenient to the war de parthment, where the official records would be at hand. The only purpose of the president in securing, if possi ble, nine members of the commission, is to lighten the labors of the individ ual members. According to his idea, the work of the commission could be parceled out to sub-committees so that the larger the commission the asier would be the work for the in dividual members. If, however, the president is unable to secure the ser vices of nine members he will proceed with seven. He expects that in any event the commission will be completed within the next few days. The gentle men who already have accepted or who, it is confidently expected, will consent to serve are: Mr. Sexton, Gen eral Dodge, Mr. Denby, Mr. Howell, Mr. Gillman and Dr. Keene. As to the power of the commission to com pel officers and others to testify as to facts within the! knowledge, the pres ident assured Mr. Howell that if the commission met with any difficulty in that regard, which, however, he did not expect, he, the president, would know the reason why. After half an hour's conference with the president today General Schofleld announced that he would not serve as .;i member of the commission. money orders payable at'of fick of issue. The public will greatly appreciate the convenience afforded through an order issued today by First Assistant Postmaster General Heath, which au thorizes postmasters to issue money orders payable at their own offices. This prac tice has not been heretofore followed and the new departure will be an accommodation to the great number of people, who, not having an account at a bunk, desire to follow this economical and absolutely safe method in piyment of bills, etc. These money orders may now be used, for illustra tion, in payment of gas bills, merchants' and grocers' bills, etc. In smaller j (lace -, the poison indebted to a farmer may have an order drawn in favor of the U-.tter, paya.ble to him at any lime and s-ent to him by a neighbor who obtait.s and delivers 'the mail for the neighborhood, th- entire cost, say for $10. bt.;ng but 10 cents.

General Miles, who has recovered from his slight attack of fever, and Acting Secretary of War Meikeljohn called on the president today concern ing several important questions involv ed in the reorganization of the army on the basis of the changed conditions arising since the war.

"Do you expect mucli opposition to the terms from the Spanish commis sioners ?" "I think that America's terms will be regarded as reasonable, and, there fore, I believe the work of the com missions will not be impeded by use less discussion." Senator Frye would say nothing as to the intentions of the commissioners. As to the commissioners going to Paris with set duties and irrefragible condi tions to be placed before the Spanish commissioners, the senator said that school boys might just as well be sent if such were the case.

The price paid is not known. Cincinnati, September 17. Mr. E. R. Bason, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Railway Company, who has been engaged for some time with the New York committee, Spere & Co., and Kuhn, Loek & Co., bank ers, and the receivers, in assisting in the readjustment of the affairs of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Compa ny, was in town today and was inter viewed about the purchase of the con trol of the Baltimore and Ohio road. He said a number of representative men identified with large railway, manufacturing and commercial inter ests in the northwest, Chicago, New York and other cities on the company's line had been for some time negotiat ing for the purchase of a very substan tial interest in the Baltimore and Ohio road, and that such negotiations had been brought to a successful conclu sion. That under the reorganization ample means had been provided for cutting down grades, increasing capac ity and facilities of the road and put ting it in a condition to promptly and economically handle largely increased business. That the reorganization managers had also decided that the subsidiary lines, including the Balti more and Ohio Southwestern, should be likewise traded and arrangements were now being concluded to readjust the affairs of such lines and secure capital to put them in the same con dition as the main line. Baltimore, September 17. J. H. Mad dy, the press agent of the Baltimore and Ohio railway tonight said to a representative of the Associated Press that the statement made in Cincinna ti today by E. R.

Hill, of the Great Northern railroad, returned from Chicago today and made this statement to an Asso ciated Press representative regarding the Baltimore and Ohio reorganization story: "Any connection I may have with the Baltimore and Ohio is simply for the purpose of putting that road on its feet and making it what it was at one time one of the most important roads in the country. Recently it has failed to such an extent that it was an in cubus. Any intention I may have with regard to the Baltimore and Ohio has no connection with the Great North ern. Neither has the Great Northern or myself any connection with any railroad between St. Paul and Chica go; and, furthmore, neither do I ex pect to have any such connection. Some one who is responsible for state ments to the contrary has an imagina tion that is altogether too vivid." Further than this, Mr. Hill had noth ing to say regarding the matter. No Malaria at Camp Cuba Libre Jacksonville, Fla., September 17. Dr. James Carroll, the bactereological specialists who has been sent bere by the government at Washington to make an investigation into the dis eases prevailing in Camp Cuba Libre, and particularly with regard to malarial and typhoid fevers, has con cluded his labors and announces most postively that he has been unable to find a single case of malarial infec tion. This speaks volumes for the naturally healthy conditions of Jack sonville and surrounding country. The continued fever cases are said to be typhoid. Des Moines. Iowa, September 17. WTe believe the soldiers encamped at Camp Cuba Libre are cared for as well as it is possible for a large body of men encamped anywhere in the United States. This is the conclusion of a re port filed today by Governor Shaw, by Colonel H. Egbert, of Davenport and Dr. F. W. Parsons, of Rivenbeck. They were special commissioners appointed to investigate the conditions and needs of the Forty-ninth Iowa, now at Jack sonville and the Fifteeth which nas re turned since their visit The Philippine Assemby Manila, Philippine Islands, Septem ber 17.

Shlpp Receives the Lieutenants Sabre The Mek of the Second Keglmeut The Small 3Iat Crop Indicate an Open Winter. Messenger Bureau, Raleigh, N. C, September 16. It appears that as to the Second reg iment there is lack of administrative ability. Weeks ago there were com plaints that the chief surgeon was un fit for his position. The chief surgeon is Dr. Stockard. There was an inquiry as to the management of the hospital which in effect condemned him, and it is odd that he did not resign. Col onel Burgwyn is now called on to have an investigation made as to the gravest charges against Dr. Stockard. These are that he has not been at camp since the troops have returned here, but has hung around the httds and shammed sickness. Today he was in bed. The complaints as to him are widespread. He alone can order medicine. He alone can buy the delicacies for the sick, un der the government allowance for the sick. Up to today there was no hos pital. Today the Young Mens' Chris tian Association tent was fitted up as a hospital and twenty-five cots put in i it. There are eighteen sick, a hospital i steward stated, all nearly with mala rial trouble, but no cases of any degree of seriousness. Last night Colonel Burgwyn was in his quarters when he was told that a soldier was sick and that there was no hospital and no medicine and no chief surgeon on the ground. He was very angry and said , that the medicine must be had if he j paid for it itself. The sick man was of the Gastonia company and its offi- j cers are greatly incensed at Dr. Stock- i ard's neglect. The regiment was reviewed this af ternooon after a march through the cit$-M-any invited guests were at the executive mansion to witness the re view by the governor. It was said this morning to be as yet uncertain as to the date of the thirty days' furlough. Colonel Burgwyn said last night that there was telegraphing to Washington in regard to it, but that he did not know the date of the be ginning of the furloughs. Some of the men are complaining about the food and coffee. Specimens of both have been kept at the newspa per offices. An investigation will be made. Some of the men make charges that the supplies issued so liberally by the government have not found their way to the men. John C. Drewry, of Raleigh, is ap pointed marshal of the state fair, Oc tober 24th-29th. The Capital Club will have guests from all over the state at its "house warning" during the week. The enter tainment it will then give will cost $1,000, it is said. There is a laughable phase of poli tics in this district. Two or three dem ocrats tried to start a movement to have Congressman Strowd, populist, nominated. But this would never do, except as a joke. A straight democrat will be nominated on the 29th. It is said now that there are two or three aspirants. Ed. Chambers Smith says that while he is not seeking the nomi nation he will accept it if it is given him. The republicans here express disap pointment that Senator Butler in his opening campaign speech at Jackson ville yesterday did not endorse fusion with the republicans. He kept per fectly silent on that subject. He spoke against trusts and combines and in fa vor of government ownership of rail ways and telegraphs. Then he took a turn the republicans like by denounc ing the democrats as "liars and hypo crites, who are trying to deceive the people by the cry of 'Nigger' " He declared there was no such thing as negro supremacy in North Carolina and charged white men with hiring ne groes to make themselves offensive, so as to use this for capital for campaign purposes. Then he made another tack and declared that "this is a white man's country and the sooner the negroes un- derstand it the better. It will be best for them if you will elect a populist legislature. We will give you a white man's government." x iici is aLii Laii j liir uaurvi uit j business in this district only three cases.

Some of the officers and men have many sores, as large as a mme. maae Dy tnese insects. The Second regiment yesterday af- lernoon nau mtr iirsc uress ya.i due since its return here. The drill ground is in 300 yards of camp. All the regi- ment is in tents, two companies being in shelter tents. The latter are better than the large tents. Most of the lat ter are old. The Fayetevllle and Green ville companies have new tents. t The absence ot John R. Smith, who is the "make believe" commissioner of agriculture, 1$ one of the standing Jokes here. It is sail he has not been in his office two days in the past two months. Nobody misses him. A negro alderman of this city who recently held his wife while his para mour beat her in his own house, will be tried next Monday by Mayor Buss. The provost guard of the Second regiment kept very good order in the city last night. The night before some of the provost guard were drunk and were placed in the guard house. Colonel ArmfieJd. of the First regi ment, is said to be- the senior volunteer colonel in the United States. He is now acting as briadier general. The populist (fusion) handbook ac tually contains a couple of affidavit? that George H. White, the negro con gressman, did not make the outrageous speech at the republican state conven tion here, which has been so freely quoted. There are scores of people who will swear to the report of the speech. Judge Simonton says the Postal Tei egraph Company can place its wires alongside the railways. The Western Union has a "contract" which was thonght to be a "cinch." The Western Union will appeal the ea.e. Messenger Bureau Raleigh, X. C. September 17. It is expected that the court of in quiry to examine into the charges of neglect of duty, absence without leave and incompetence against the chief surgeon of the regiment will meet next week. The assistant surgeons are do ing good work, as they have always done. It isn ow said that there are three as- ; pirants for the democratic nomination for congres in this district. E. C. Smith, F. S. Spruill and J. H. Young. Orrin R. Smith who is now here and who is a Mexican veteran, says the idea of the present cartridge for small arms originates in Franklin county, N. C.

State Chairman Simmons, who re turned today from the western part of the state, says he is more than sat isfied with the outlook. He knew it was good, but finds it even better than he hoped. He declares that there is no reason to expect anything save democratic success. He says "our peo ple are united" everywhere. Mrs. Ship, widow of the gallant Lieutenant W. E. Shipp, who was killed at Santiago, has recived her husband's sabre and camp baggage. The sick (and there are no serious cases) at Shipp-Bagley camp here are now well supplied with medicines and delicacies. Eight of them are conva lescent A warehouse will be rented here and in it will be stored the arms and equip ments of the Second regiment A great many compliments are paid Lieutenant Rowland, commissary of the Second regiment He is one of its very best officers. Chief Surgeon Stockard got thirty days leave in August and went to his home in Alamance, claiming he was sick. It is desired to know whether he wras sick or was working for the republican nomination for the legisla ture. There is remarkably little mast this year and also few hickory nuts or wal nuts. It is said the scarceness of these is a sign of an open winter. During the present month there have been only two funerals of white persons in this city. It is a remarkable record. A new lodge of Odd Fellows was or ganized at Statesville Thursday. Captain Frank Cameron of the Ninth regiment of immunes arrived here to day. .He was a first sergeant of reg ular cavalry at Santiago, was slightly wounded there and was promoted for gallantry to a captain. A Sad Death. New York, September 16. Dr. Geo. "W. Lindheim, surgeon of the Bed Cross and corporal in the Eighth regiment, New York volunteers, who had charge of the train carrying 265 sick soldiers of that regiment to this city from Chickamauga, died at his residence ! here today from typhoid fever. He was i 27 years of age. Dr. Lindheim's illness, 1 Dr. Monaclesser, chief surgeon of the ' Red Cross, said, was brought on by j his labors at Chickamauga and worry over the accusations that he ill-treat ed the 265 sick soldiers of the Kighth regiment whom he brought from the Tennessee camp to this city. For the last five days Dr. Lindheim was de Hrious and raved over charges that had been brought against him, crying out that they were cruel and unjus tified.

Details of the hurricane are constantly com ing in, which show the disaster to have been infinitely worse than was at first expected. The destruction at Barbadoes was fully equal to that at St Vincent, while St Luchia, also suf fered considerably. The island of Barbadoes, presenting practically n flat surface, was completely swept by the vortex of the cyclone. The dis tress is unparalleled in the history of the West Indies and the governor has cabled that instant arid continuous outside relief Is absolutely necessary in order to avert widespread famine and possibly, a resultant pestilence. The actual extent of the fatalities has not yet been ascertained owing to the extent of the ruin wrought throughout the island. fcpauUh Peace ommllnrn Madrid, September K.
