HOW HORSE TASTES.
It's Flavor Is Half Way Between Those
Beef and Game.

its Flavor Is Half Way Between Those Of
Beef and Game.
Physically, 1t may be distinguish ed
from beef or mutton by its appearance.
1t is coarser in the grain than beef In
this respect it resembles bull beef more
than any other. 1t is darker in color
and looks more moist than beef It has
a peculiar smell and a peculiar sweet
ness of taste. It's flavor is generally con-
sidered to be half way between the
favors of beef and game; it is some
thing like the flavor of hare. One reason
why horsefiesh is as a rule darker in
color than beef is that horses which are
pole-axed, or which have died from in
jury, disease or old age, are not properly
bled and dressed by the slaughterer.
1t is, however, by its fat that horsefesh
Is most easily distinguished. The fat Of
horse1esh is not generally mixed with
the lean. 1t is yellow in color. 1t looks
more moist than the fat of beef. 1t
soon melts and soon becomes rancid.
Consequently, unless rapid sale is eff
tected or the fat removed, an advanced
price must be charged in order to secure
the butcher from loss on unsold meat
Lastly horsefesh can be distinguished
from beef by its chemical characteristics,
and it is in this way that 1t may be rec
ognized when mixed with other sub
stances. Who can tell, except the
chemist, what are the component parts
of sausage, polony, or saveloy? Or
who can tell by taste what those parts
are? We do not Judge by taste, we judge
by flavor, and in the making Of flavor
to use Sam Weller's phrase-''It's the
seasoning as does it. Nineteenth Cen.

claim that this means that fruit will be
handled direct from the depot at almost
any price that can be obtained, regard
less of profit or any other consideration.
The company's expenses are very light,
and such policy would permit OF rating
figures for their products which will be
considerably lower than any Minneapo-
lis house could afford to offer. Shea
u Co. say the trouble has been
started by smaller dealers here, who are
jealous of the large amount of fruit han
died by them, and seek by making deal
OF the kind mentioned, and direct trans
action with the firm in question, to cut
prices and force the larger houses out of
business. The smaller houses say the
large firms have not been treating them
in the right way, and they
propose to help themselves by
the best means at hand. 1t is claimed
that Shea & Co., with others, have cut
prices, making profit to the smaller firms
out of the question, so that some steps
were necessary to secure fruit at cheaper
figures than the Minneapolis wholesale
dealers would sell for, and in that way
hold up their business to reasonable
rate, at least.

ceived, but all attempts to heap thorns
upon it would, he hoped, be rejected.
At the close of Morrill's speech con-
sideration Of the bill by paragraphs was
continued. The amendment offered
yesterday by Mcpherson was rejected.
Mcpherson continued to offer amend
ments for the reduction of the rates on
articles in the chemical schedule, but
they were all mercilessly rejected by
party vote. The only change made in
the schedule was reduction (on motion
of Aldrich) of the duty on chloroform
from 40 cents to rs cents per pound.
Vest moved to reduce the duty on
iodoform from $1.50 to 81 per pound.
Rejected.
The tariff bill was then laid aside and
the conference report on the District of
Columbia appropriation bill presented.
No action was taken, and after executive
session the senate adjourned.

IN THE HOUSE.

A Committee Appointed to Investigate
Pension Commissioner Raum.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-In the house
today, McComas, of Maryland, called up
the conference report on the District OF
Columbia appropriation bill, Cannon, of
Illinois, resigning the right to call up
the sundry civil bill, for the reason that
sickness in McComas's family necessi-
tated his return home.
Mutchler, of Pennsylvania, opposed
the report on the ground that if the bill
passed. there would be deficit of from
$275, 900 to 100000.
After debate the conference report was
agreed to, and the house went into COM
mittee OF the whole on the senate
amendments to the sundry civil bill.
Cummings made an attack upon the
director of the geological survey, and
favored the senate irrigation amend
ment.
Cannon replied briefly. Pending ac
ton the committee rose.
The speaker announced the appoint
ment of the following members as
committee to investigate the charges
against Commissioner Raum: Morrill,,
Sawyer, Smyser, Goodnight and Martin,
of Indiana.

WHY is THIS THUS I?
COMMANDER MULLAN'S ANOMA.
LOUIS POSITION.
Kept On Waiting Orders for More Than
Year-Admiral Kimberly's Judgment
Questioned A Naval Scandal.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.-The Eram-
iner's Washington special says: Some
comment has been caused by the anom-
alous position of Commander Dennis w.
Mullan, OF the navy, in view of state
ments contained in recent report made
to congress. That report accompanied
joint resolution authorizing Commander
Mullan to accept a medal from the Chill
ian government.
In 1880 Commander Mullan was de-
tailed to observe the military operations
between Chill and Peru, and witnessed
two battles. AS compliment to him
the Chilian government sent medal to
the secretary of state to be presented to
him. The report closes with the state
ment that Commander Dennis w.
Mullan, of the United States
navy, by his official acts as
an officer of the navy, has on sundry oc-
casions reflected great credit upon him
self and upon the navy, which has rem
dered him eminently worthy to receive
at the hands of the Chilian government
this testimonial of their appreciation"
Yet Commander Mullan, of whom
these complimentary words are spoken,
has been for more than year past rus
ticating on waiting orders, having be-
miral Kimberly, which resulted in the
command of the Nipsic after the Samoan
wreck in March, 1889. The Nipsic was
badly damaged in the storm, and Jury
rudder was rugged, with which she
started for Honolulu for further repairs.
Commander Mullan, after proceeding
part way, returned to Samoa, declining
to continue the voyage with ship in
that condition, whereupon Admiral
Kimberly relieved him of command land
he was sent home. Under another
officer the Nipsic made the voyage sue
cessfully.
Around the navy department there is
more or less criticism respecting the
manner in which the Samoan storm was
treated, and the consequences that en-
sued. 1t is said by some that Admiral
Kimberly and acting Rear-Admiral
Walker, then chief OF the bureau of nav
igation, by whom Secretary Tracy was
influenced, united in Encouraging the
holding of court of inquiry, because
the finding might have impugned
the judgment of the admiral in not
ordering the vessels to sea when the ap-
proach of the tornado was heralded by
the barometer. Good seamanship, it is
asserted, would have taken alarm and
sent the vessels to sea to ride out the
storm rather than to leave them at
anchor to be pounded to pieces on the
shore.
1t is commented on as strange thing,
in view of the very fattering endorse
ment of Commander Mullan by two
committees of congress, as quoted, that
no court of inquiry has been held to in
vestigate the reasons for his removal by
Admiral Kimberly, nor any steps taken
after more than year of enforced idle
ness to restore him to the command of
his vessel.

Associated Press DISPATCHES |


SENECA FALLS, N. Y, July 3O.-The
Pew building, against the erection of
which three or more years ago an earn
est protest was made, fulfilled it's mis-
sion as fire trap this morning. 1t is
feared it will also be prove death
trap. A few minutes after three this
morning the building was discovered to
be on fire. In few minutes the entire
structure was in flames. 1t was ap-
proachable from but one direction, and
the atmosphere quickly became SO hot
that the fremen could not endure it.
The splendid Phoenix block, involving
the electric light plant, electric
railway plant, postoffice, express Office,
a large printing establishment, Sander
sons furniture warerooms and the
Western Union telegraph office, sue
cumbed to the flames. Within four
hours fifteen stores on one side of the
street were ruined. The flames sprang
across the street to the Hoag opera
house, and that was consumed with all
the buildings on Fall street on that side
east to the Sheldon block, while
on the north side the Cooperative
block was the limit. On State street
the flames extended to and included the
Kellogg livery stable. All the three
newspapers were burned, and the tele-
phone service suspended. The Western
Union!Companv is doing business at the
railway station. The fire was under con-
troll at 8 o'clock, but soon broke out
afroI TaI, e. ote H.,
store, which was burned. The loss al
ready amounts to $233, 900, and if the
fire is not extinguished soon, it may be
considerably larger.
Later-An area Of nearly three acres
was burned over, and many of the best
business buildings in the village wiped
out. Careful estimates place the loss at
between $500, 900 and 500, 900, with an
insurance of about 100000.

Mr. Blaine's Reciprocity Leaven Begin

WASHINGTON, July 30.--Representative
Sanford, OF New York, today offered for
reference to the ways and means COM
mittee preamble and resolution recit-
ing Mr.. Blaine's expression OF
opinion upon sugar duties and
reciprocity; postponing legislation on
sugar and molasses duties until next
session, and requesting the president to
enter into negotiations with Spain and
the Central and South American states,
looking to the consummation Of
reciprocal arrangement, etc.
The conferees on the original package
bill have agreed to report the senate bill
back.
The senate has confirmed Thaddeus S.
Sharretts, of Baltimore, as general ap-
praiser of merchandise.
The president left this afternoon for
Cape May.
The population of Salt Lake City is
announced by the census Office to be
45,O22, against 90 ,76S ten years ago.
The Free Delivery Bill.
Senator Mitchell, from the committee
on postoffices and post roads, has re-
ported favorably, with amendments,
the bill to extend the free delivery
system. The bill, as presented,
proposed to introduce the sys-
tenn into towns and cities of not less
than 5000 population, or where the
postoffice receipts were not less than
$4,000 for the previous fiscal year. The
committee changed these figures to
5000 population and $1,000 postoffice
receipts. A letter from the postmaster
general shows that there are 294 cities
and towns that would be entitled to free
delivery, and the estimated expense OF
putting it in operation is 100000. The
committee says an appropriation of
$3.50, 1000 will be amply sufficient for the
present fiscal year, provided the bill is
enacted into law at an early date.
Appointments.
The president sent to the senate today
the following nominations:
Thaddeus S. Sharretts, of Maryland,
general appraiserof merchandise, under
the provisions of the act approved June

RIOTOUS CUBANS.
Indignities offered the Spanish Consul al
Key West, Fla.

Key West, Fla.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 30.-A spe-
cial to the Jacksonville Times Union
from Key West says Three officers ar
rived from Cuba last week for the pur-
pose of taking Cuban named Marino
Samos, who is held on extra
dition charges as a bandit
for highway robbery, kidnapping
and other offenses committed nearly a
year ago. The Cuban officers were
hooted and jeered at by mob of reck-
less Cubans. The mob assembled
around the Spanish consulate and jeered
at the consul and hoisted the Cuban
colors opposite the Spanish flag on the
consular office, besides offering indig-
mites to the consul, Seflor Oweldo A.
Carr. Two men, Garcia and
Torrez, were arrested and sentenced
to sixty days imprisonment by the
mayor, but they appealed. Carr has
reported his treatment to the Spanish
minister at Washington, to the governor
of Cuba and to the consul-general at
New York, who has sent an attache to
Key West to investigate and offer assist
ance to the consul there.

INCENDIARY FIRES.
An Unpleasant Way of Booming Real
Estate.

An Unpleasant Way of Booming Real
Estate.
TOLEDO, Ohio, June 30.--A most extra
ordinary condition of things prevails at
Bairdstown, an oil village twenty miles
south OF this city. There have been five
incendiary fires within week, and
every business house has been de-
stroyed. The cause is thought to have
been the passage of an ordinance
by the authorities some time
ago forbidding the sinking of gas
or oil wells within the town
limits. 1t is alleged that men who were
holding town lots at big prices, hoping
to sell them to oil men, and finding their
aspirations checked, leagued together to
burn the town, with the view to turn
the site into oil-producing territory An
attempt was made to lynch a detective
who was looking into the matter.
