The War Investigating Commission sat from I until I'M o'clock to-day, and examined about a docen witnesses. Including a number of officers and men of the regular army, as well as a number of volunteer officer. It Is now expected that the com. mission win leave for Huntsville tomorrow night. MajJ Otto H.

Falk was the first He was th Chief Qaruter-master of the First division of the Third Army Corps while lh Chickamauga Park, and he now occupies the position of Chief Quartermaster for this camp. He said th most serious complaint In the early history of Camp Thomas was from th First Missouri, whose men claimed that their trousers were noth ing more than rag and threatened to appeal to charity at horn to supply their wants. There was also a shortage In tents which became quite serious at the time of th beginning of th rainy season. Previous to that Urn the men had slept under trees and under their shelter tents without complaint Indeed, be said, there was never a sufficient supply of tentage and It was necessary to put six men in a tent Continuing, be said the division had never been completely equipped until the present time, especially In the mat-ter of transportation facilities. He said, however, that there had no refusal to honor requisitions.

He thought how. ever, that upon the whole, there was too much red tape In the Quartermaster Department "I do away with it whenever I can. I have succeeded so tar," he said, "even though I sometime violate the regulations." Illustrating, he said he had to sign his name nine time in the process of paying a bill of twenty dollars. Dr. Charles M.

Drake. In charge of the General Hospital here, and who was In command of the hospital of th First division of the Third corps at Chickamauga. was the next witness. He of the various Improvements he had found It necessary to make In the hospital at Chickamauga. "There waa," he said, "such a flood of disease that it was almost impossible to meet the demand for tentage.

and quite out of the question to anticipate It" As fast a he would pitch new tent they would them up. He stated that the medical supplies had been ample from the be-ginning, but the hospital corps proved inefficient as nurses. "They were, aa a class." ho aid. "the very worst material that could hav been found out of which to make nurses' Hot of Chickamauga. MaJ.

David Vickers, who was Inspec tor General for the Second division of the Third corps at Chickamauga, at trlbuted the troubles in that camp to the shallowness of the sinks. He said also'that some of th regimental offi cers Insisted oh making poor selection of camp sites. MaJ. Vickers also complained that the drinking water wa poor. He thought that the camp alt unfit for bo large an army, but so, far as food went the private were far bet ter off than the officer.

He said that at on time the beds of all the patients were on the floor, and ther were some case in which some of them were on the ground. Asked as to the competency of the surgeon at th hospital, he said there was one man In the hospital whose proneness to profanity unfitted him- for the service. This man was MaJ. Hub bard, a surgeon of th Ninth New Fork. "HI profanity, of such a villainous character.

said MaJ. Vickers, 'pretty nearly made me sick, and I know It could not have had a pleasant effect upon patients." Lieut Col Bisbee. in command of the First Infantry, told the story of his reg troent at Santiago, the return to Mon-tauk Point and. of the stay at that place and the transfer south. There were bard- ships, out oi a una incidental to a campaign.

Army Ration Condemned. Lieut CoL Bisbee said he had no complaint of the voyage north. The regi ment was held at the detention camp for three days. He said la reply to questions from Gen. McCook that a distress signal had been put out for food while they lay out at sea, and when some vessel came alongside he said he had called out to those aboard to bring them food.

He stated In explanation that the food waa wanted for the officers' mess. The men had enough, he' said, such as It was the usual constipating dose. After this and while at Montauk Point, they got more than they needed. "We got it from the people, from the New York relief associations and citizens. They sent us everything, including whisky and champagne, far more than we wanted." Many other officers and privates were examined, but nothing new was adduced by their charges, nor were any serious charges made.

Gen. Wood, Military Governor of the Department of Santiago, though satisfied with th workings of the Cuban committee pt fifty now recommending appointments and offering suggestions for his assistance In the work of civil administration, has decided to simplify this feature by appointing eight of tn htost prominent members of the committee aa a permanent council to the Governor. This council will meet Gen. Wood thrice a week to consult as to Improvements in the province and one' or more members may go to different points to consider local applications for -office. The members of the council will receive salaries, though the amount ha not yet been decided upon.

Probably the position will be more one of honor than of profit One of the first matters to be considered by Gen. Wood and th advisory council will probably be the reorganisation of the police force of the province, Gen. Wood Intending to enlarge It His Idea 1 to make the entire police force one semi-military organization under command of aa Inspector General, witsr the rank of Colonel, having Headquarters at Santiago. There will be four inspectors, with the rank of Major, with headquarters at Ouantanamo, Man-xanillo and Holguln, and sub-Inspectors wRh th rank of Captain at Important places, smaller place having Lieuten ant.

The mounted police will be armed with carbines and revolvers and the foot constabulary with machetes and revolvers. Gen. Wood believe that In less than six months he will have a complete and well-drill ed body of men. There will be a reaucuon in in. number of the police at Santiago, but Gen.

Wood contemplates adding twelve American patrolmen for districts specially frequented by soldiers, teamster and Americans generally. Apparently no member of the present force dare to arrest an American, even when th police outnumber the offenders, seven to one.

Gen. Wood believes that no -fewer than WO men. will accept this opportunity, 'and ba is wtifldeoi- that noc only the men themselves but; the city generally will be benefited by the arrangement HIS proposal Ir very gratifying to aelf-respecUng Cubans, who frankly say they are put to shame by the sight of their people- receiving free rations all the time and making vOo effort to get work.

HESS. POLICY OF ACT- IRRELEVANT. Washington, Oct 24. The United State Supreme Court to-day decided the Joint Traffic Association railroad caa in favor of th United States and against the railroads. Th caa la considered on of th most Important that has ever com before th Supreme Court not only to the ran roads, but to th general public, and because ot the vast railway- properties represented by the Traffic Association.

The association wa formed on November 19, 1896, by thirty-one railways, representing the great trunk line and their network of branches. The purpose of th association as stated In the articles of agreement was "to establish and maintain reasonable and just rate. fares, rule and regulations on 8 tale and Interstate traffic." A similar association on a smaller scale was established among Southwestern roads, known as th Trana-afissour! Association. These association were soon attacked in the courts on the- ground that they were in violation ot the Sherman antitrust law, and also of th Interstate Commerce law. The Trans-Missouri first reached the United States Supreme Court where.

In a notable opinion, the court held that the association was ille gal, being In effect a combination Inn restraint of trade and commerce, and therefore violative ot the anti-trust law. This opinion was by a divided bench, the division being very dose, Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Har lan, Brewer, Brown and Peckham hold th Traffic Association Illegal, while Justices Field. Gray, Shira and Whit filed a dissenting opinion upholding the association. Soon after this decision Jus tic Field gave place to Jus tic Mc- Kenna. a Policy of Eegulation Vet a Qusetion.

i Justice Peckham announced the decision.
