SICKNESS
IN THE
U. S. ARMY
Efforts to Improve the Con
ditions of the Soldiers.
PLAN OF GO?. HASTINGS
Chartered a Train and Took Awa
Pennsylvanians Against the Pro
tests of the Officers.
Cincinnati, O., Aug. 28. About the
middle of last week, Governor Hastings,
of Pennsylvania, raised $5000 in cash in
thirty minutes in Philadelphia to equip
a hospital train to bring home the sick
of Pennsylvania regiments from Chicka
mauga. A train of eighteen hospital
cars was equipped and started for
Chickamauga, with astounding prompt
ness. Tonight it arrived homeward
bound with 211 Pennsylvanian soldiers,
fifteen New Yorkers, one Ohio and one
Bhode Island soldier, and left with its
overjoyed freight an hour later for Pitts
burg. Both on the down trip and the retnrn.
Governor Hastings devoted his personal
attention to all the details of transporta
tion. Arriving at Cincinnati tonight,
he filed 164 telegrams to friends of sol
diers, and to those preparing for their
reception in Pennsylvania. At Chima
mauga yesterday he took the sick from
hospitals, against the protests of officials
who wanted them to wait for a transcript
of their muster-rol;s. Fourteen soldiers,
too ill to leave, were left in the Red
Cross hospital.
INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE
Good Progress Made in the First Week
of the Session.
Quebec, Aug. 28. The international
conference commissioners will meet in
joint session again tomorrow and prob
ably each day until Friday. Separate
meetings of the American and Canadian
commissioners and meeting of the sub
committees will continue during the
week.
Senator Fairbanks stated tonight that
the. first week's work has been very
satisfactory, and that everything np to
this point indicated the best results. He
t
use
expects that considerable progress will
mude between this date and nest Fri
day, when a re-cess will be taken until
September 20.
Thursday, the American commission-
i er will give a hearing to the representa
; tive of the Boston chamber of commerce.
; General trade questions will be con
i eidered.
Prohably the same day a hearing will
! be given to the interests of the Ameri
I can lumbermen. Last week, Don M.
Dickinson was heard in the interest of
American lumbermen who own govern
ment timber in Canada, but the heat
ing this wee's will be for those who are
inteaested in other 'branches of the
business. The commissioners decline to
state in detail anything concerning
either of the hearings set down for this
week.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier will probably re
turn this week. .
It is learned that the copyright ques
tion will be before the commission as
the work goes on. The Canadian
publishers desire in a measure to be
freed from the rigorous copyright laws
of the mother country, and they also
desite a readjustment of the copyright
laws existing between the United States
and Canada. - This question, however,
will probably not be discussed until
other matters have been disposed of.
ABANDONING
' THE CAMP
No Volunteers Will Semain at Chica
mauga After this Week.
Chickamauga, Ga., Aug. 28; The la6t
of this week will see almost every regi
ment of volunteers gone from Camp
Thomas. This morning, when the First
Pennsylvania left for Lexington it com
pleted the removal of the First army
corps. By Monday at the latest, the
Third army corps will hegin to move-to
Anniston, Ala. v
If the railroads can handle the troops,
by Saturday noon not a single regiment
will be left in the park, with the excep
tion of the United . States volunteers,
which will be kept here to guard hospi
tals and government property.
As fust as the trains can be gotten the
convalescents are being sent to their
homes. Already over 4000 sick leaves
have been granted, and there are yet in
the hospital over 1500 sick soldiers.
These will be sent home as fast as they
are conyalescent.
There were today reported in all 520
cases of typhoid fever in all hospitals,
and six deaths.
Our baby has been continually troub
led with colic and cholera infantum since
his birth, and all that we could do lor
him did not seem to give more than
temporary relief, until we tried Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. Since giving that remedy he
has not been troubled. We want to
give you this testimonial as an evidence
of our gratitude not that you need it to
advertise your meritorious remedy. G.
