ROOSEVELT APPOINTS A DEMOCRAT.
Major Avery D. Andrews is the Govsrnor’s
Choice for Adjutant General.
Oyste1 Bay L. I.. Dec. 29. —Gove1t1—
Ol-ele(t Roosevelt has decided to up-
point Majoi Av 91y D. AndIens to be
udjutunl; gencial of the state.
This appointment is not a temnomiy
one, as has been intimated it might
be, but peiinuncnt. The appointment
is made upon the recommendation of
General Roe and leading military men.
Senator Platt acquiesced in it although
Major Andrews is a Democrat.
The appointment gives Colonel
Roosevelt great personal satisfaction.
as he is strongly ‘attached to Major
Andrews, of whom he spoke yesterday“
ing the department of the east.
Avery D. Andrews was educated at
\Vallist‘on University, and, entering
W'est Point, graduated in the Class of
1888. He served as second lieutenant
of the Fifth Artillery, and was promo—
ted to be first lieutenant. In 1893 he
began the practice of law, and, hav-
ing left the legular 31 my was appoin-
ted major of engineers by General
Fitzgerald, commanding the First Bri-
gade. of the New Ydrk state National
Guaid. Before this he was aide— d}-
camp to General Schofield command—
inv the department of the east.
In Febiuaiy. 1895, Mayors otrong ap»
pointed Mr. Andrews police commissio-
ner. In a short while it developed that
Mr. Andrews, while a Democrat, had
cast his lot with Theodore Roosevelt.
Republican. while Colonel Fred Grant.
appointed as a Republican, acted with
Commissioner Andrew D. Parkerta
James O’Brien Democrat.
The. memorable deadlock that follow—
ed is local history. Commissioners
Roosevelt and Andrews compelled the
enforcement of law, prevented politi—
'cal appointments, guarded the civil
service lists and made matters uncom—
fortable for the two political machines.
At the outbreak of the Spanish war,
Colonel Andiews joined Squadron A,
but got no farther than Chickamauga

Statement Contradicted. I
D. 0., Dec.
Washington, 29.—-F1‘rst
Sergeant William Hill of Company L,’
District of Columbia. volunteers. was
the only witness before the war inves-
tigating commission yesterday.
He served as commissary sergeant.
with his regiment at Camp Alger,
Camp Thomas, Tampa and Cuba.
Throughout the continuance of hos»
tilities he saw no horrors, suffered no
hardships and was confident that the
soldiers were treated well.
He said that the men had plenty to
eat with the' exception of a. couple of
days after they reached Siboney, when
they thiew away their rations on ac-
count of their bulk. .
He believed that they had plenty of
medicine. and thought that a good deal
of the sickness prevalent was caused
by the 1‘ei’uSal of the men to takethe
quinine given them. Many of them
had a “superstition" against using the
drug.
‘Hill deniedihat the canned beef was
bad, and said that the refrigerated va-
riety condemned by General Miles was
all right.
He said it had not been treated with
chemicals. and believed it made some
of the soldiers sick because they 3.19

The- soldiers at. Camp Wikoff were
made sick by too many delicacies. he
asserted.
He had seen one man there eating

Draper on Citizenship,
81:. Paul, Minn, Dec. 29.-—-“‘Put the
schools on a business and pedagogical
standard: train the children into life.
not. out of it, and then the public
schools will make much for good citi-
zenship.”
In this sentence may be summed up
the address delivered last night before
the Minnesota. Educational Association
by Dr. Andrew S. Draper, president or
the University of Illinois, on “The
Public Schools and Citizenship.”
“The country is not afraid of the
man on horseback,” he said, “or of his
more popular and more powerful bro-
ther, the man on the bridge of a bat-
tleship. The American peolpe need not
worry themseIVes about the stability
of the government. It has a great
problem before it just now, the great-
est it has ever had. but it does not en-
danger its stability.”
Couldn’t llIeasure the Moon.
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 29.——Prof'es—
sor Frederick Chase, who is in charge
of the Yale astronomical observatory.
states that the observations taken of
. the lunar eclipse Tuesday night, would
amount to nothing.
The fact that clouds obscured the
moon’s surface nearly all the time of.
the eclipse prevented the measurement
of the lunar disc by the heliometer,
and also made it impossible to discern
stars in occultation. -
Just before the eclipse terminated
the clouds lifted slightly. and Dr.
Chase thought that some of the obser-
vations taken hurriedly might be of
value.
The interval was too short, however,
and yesterday it was proved that
nothing of importance was learned
from the eclipse.
