CURRENCY REFORM TO COME.
but SECRETARY GAGE SAYS 1T
WILL COME SLOWLY.

Dissemination of the Knowledge of
the Truth Must Precede It-Sccre-
tary of the Treasury Warmly
Welcomed by Virginia Bankers.
Urged Against Some Features of
the Present Financial System.
Was Business Meeting.
Richmond, Va. Feb a2-The feature Of
the annual meeting of the Virginia Bank
ers' Association to-day was the address
Of Secretary of the Treasury Gage.
Judge Christian. president of the clear
ing houses association of Richmond in the
address Of welcome, congratulated the as
ISOLATION upon the presence of Mr.. Gage.
While, we disagree with him." he said.
upon nearly every political question, the
people Of Virginia are not so hidebound
as not to extend to him the heartiest and
most cordial welcome"
Judge Christian went on to say that the
bankers were willing to sit at the feet of
the secretary and learn of him. They want
ed, he said only one standard OF value,
and that fixed and Interchangeable. He clos
ed by repudiating the allegation that the
South is rotten borough" in any res
pect.
MIR. Alexander Hamilton of Petersburg.
responded on behalf of the visitors.
MIR. Gage. in his address, followed very
much the line of his annual report. He
urged against The greenbacks and the
features of the present financial system
that tended to cOngest money in the great
centers of population. In conclusion he
said:
Some who oppose the ideas here enun-
| ciated. charge me with speaking from the
bankers standpoint AS banker l have
never had any personal interest In The
! question, because as a bank officer l have
never issued note to circulate as money
| The reason for not doing so was the fact
\ already described, that il was an un-
| profitable tc-up of capital, and, in the
large centers, where my life as a banker
has been passed all the credit facilities
needed by that community were substan-
! tially supplied through book accounts
| checks, drafts and bills of exchange.
A Reform Sure to Come.
That a reform will come l have nc
| doubt. The evolutionary movement t.
which all the improvements in society can

the Intervention of government paper
money and the prohibition of bank note
issues That we viii eventually return "a
a larger liberty on the part Of the indi-
vidual, acting alone or associated with
others is. think, certain. This reform
| however, will come slowly The dissemina-
+ tion of the knowledge of the truth must
precede It, and each in his place may heiT
! it forward, not by words Of heat and pas
sion, but by calm and patient testimony
to the truth"
On motion the election of two delegates
! to the American Bankers Association
| which meets next fall, was left to the exc.
! cutive committee.
Various reports were submitted, mostly
! of a routine character.
Mr. Gage was entertained at a dinner
this evening at the residence of Mr. Johr
| p. Branch, and tonight enjoyed the hos
pitality of the Westmoreand Club.

ham. 1t was, he said, from some firm of
meat packers" and was sent expressly
for experimental use by the soldiers with
the knowledge that it was chemically pre-
pared. The beef lasted only three days,
after which ID decayed and was thrown
overheard. Some of it was cooked before
1t spoiled. Witness saw the piece cooked,
but did not eat 1t. 1t looked wen and the
man who tasted it said cit was all right"
The officers discussed it freely, but none
of them knew how the beef had been
treated. the process being secret. The beef
that spoiled became very offensive and ex-
uded dark coagulated blood.
Lieut.. Col. H. Fl. Humphreys, Twenty
second Infantry, said canned roast beef
was issued to his command in small guam
titles prior TO the surrender of Santiago
but he had heard then no complaints about
it. When refrigerated beef was furnished
1t was at first satisfactory, but il spoiled
in large quantities and the men finally
ceased to care for it. The canned roast
beef was then used in a stew. but the men
would not eat it. Witness did not know
why. He attempted to eat the beef from
the can. 1t did not taste right. It gagged
him. He gave it up.
1t Nauseated the Men
Brig. Gen. ]. F. Kent, who commanded a
division in the Santiago campaign. said
complaints of canned roast beef came from
the men-it seemingly nauseated them
but he took no action, considering these
complaints unavoidable incidents of the
campaign. He understood much of the re-
frigerated beef spoiled en- route from the
docks to the troops because of the delay
incident to transporting it,
The canned roast beef was tasteless. he
declared, and often repulsive in appear
ance, and apparently had an nutriment
extracted.
How the Beef Was Prepared.
Col. Woodruff testified that he bought
a total of $2,256,0O0 worth of supplies in
the first six months of the war. All con-
tracts for canned roast beef contained
clauses providing contractors should re-
place any beef that proved unfit for 'ise
without fault of the army officials. Each
box contained a certificate of inspection
| and approval from an official of the agri-
cultural department, approving the cattle
on hoof, and after slaughter. Most of the
| beef was shipped to Tampa. The entire
supply in New York and in the entire
| country, together with $4,000 pounds
brought from Europe, where it had been
shipped, was exhausted and the factories,
| Col Woodruff understood, were run night
and day to meet the extraordinary de-
mand.
Capt. Daniel L. Howell of the Seventh
| infantry said the canned roast beef was
not palatable, but he believed it was nu-
| tritious, and if cooked as a stew would
| have been satisfactory The men gener-
| ally complained about it. The refriger-
ated beef was good when not spoiled and
he had not suspected the use of chemicals.
