the powder. the witness brought Is the
residuum of this beef with the commits
sion to be examined by a government
chemist.
Witness pleaded not to have the mat
ter taken out of his hands, but a COM
promise was effected by deciding that
DR.. Daily be present with the official
chemist, and it was arranged to have
here, examine the powder at 5 o'clock
this afternoon.
At the afternoon session DR.. DAILY
underwent a rather severe eross-exam-
i~nation, especially on the subject of
the date on which he had reported as
to his suspicious in regard to the beef
and why he had not reported sooner.
DR.. DAILY said he had never discussed
with any officer the subject of bad beef.
Instead of commenting on such mat
ters he had rather attempt to allay
discomfort with the meat. While at
Chickamauga he had found meat which
appeared to have been treated as indi-
Gated in his report. If the government
was supplied with chemically prepared
beef, he was asked, did he not think
that the government had been fraudu-
lently dealt with? DR.. DAILY replied
that in his judgment when such beef
had been supplied by contractors it had
not been with fraudulent intent. The
persons supply the beef probably con-
sidered the preparations used no more
harmful than salt. He had not arriv-
ed at the conclusions he did until after
tests. Instead of weakening his posi-
ton each test made him less willing
to rocant any statements he had made.
DR.. Daily explained the process of treat
ing beef chemically. The boracic acid or
salicylic acid, he said, was s%prinkled upon
the meat in the shape of powder, and that
which would not adhere was brushed off.
The meat was then hung in a room where
it was kept cold by means of ammonia
or salts. This was one of preserv-
ing meat, but there were other methods.
The substance placed upon the surface of
the meat penetrated its inner tissues and
there chemical changes took place.
DIR. Daily also explained the methods of
embalming human bodies. Many persons
had methods which they claimed to be su-
perior to all others, but the common meth
cd was to use boracic acid, s~alicylic acid
or klycerine.
DR.. DAILY was at Tampa about the SOth
of May. His suspicious in regard to the
beef, he said, were aroused about the nth
of June. He reported this fact in August.
DIR. Daily denied that his report stated
that the beef contained poison or de
stroyed vitality" of the soldiers. He said
that it was detrimental to health.
Mr.. DENLY asked DR.. DAILY whether in
his opinion, an officer had performed his
duty when, knowing hat the beef supplied
to the army was detrimental to health.
he had concealed the fact and had not
reported for many weeks. DR.. Daily re-
piled that he had reported upon the facts
in a regular way, and after mature de-
liberation. He could not. he said, Howl
about it to any and every one he met"

Importance OF Extending Them to Hawaii,
at once-Contract Laborers Coming In.
Washington, January 20.-The
friends of the Hawaiian bill in the
House of Representatives will make
an effort to take it up at an early day,
and they express confidence that it will
get a hearing. One reason for this is
that there has been a large influx of
Japanese immigrants to Hawaii since
the annexation law was enacted, and
that some 10000 contract labor Japan
csc will be brought into Hawaii and
then into the United States. For this
reason Inc extension of the United
States immigration restrictions TO
Hawaii is held to be of first import
ance. A similar view is taken as TO
extending the United States customs
and revenue laws to the islands.

There is one phase of the situation
in the House committee on privileges
and elections which has evidently es-
capped the notice of the Republican
schemeres. To begin with, they made
a blunder in asking the committee to
go to Grafton to take evidence in the
Brohard-Dent case, as they had not
counted upon such a prompt acceptance
of their proposition. In order to pro-
vide for the expenses of the committee,
it will be necessary for a joint resolu-
ton to be adopted by the Legislature.
The Republicans will be compelled to
either acknowledge the insincerity of
their demand or come down from their
hobby horse and recognize the House
of DELEGATES.

Charleston, W. VA January 20
Jonn L. McGraw's speech III the hall
or the House, after receiving notihca-
ton of his selection by the caucus, as
ne Democratic candidate for United
States Senator, was a splendid effort,
and made an excellent impression upon
the members who heard it. Col. Nc
Graw's thanks were very neatly ex-
pressed, and he Was plainly affected by
the testimonial to his fitness which
came in the form of a practically nan
imous caucus nomination. 1t gives
Col. McGraw substantial recognition
as one of the Democratic leaders of
the State. A sentiment expressed by
him, which was received with tremen-
dous applause, was his declaration that
if the party desires another leader
when it comes to the selection of a sue
cessor to the present Republican Sen
ator from West Virginia, he will cheer
fully acquiesce in the will of the ma
jority. The demonstration was at once
a mark of appreciation of the quality
of his Democracy.

on the part of the Senate, and proceed
