But Every Sign of Cordial

presidential party arrived at half-past
two o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The
party was met at the station by Mel

citizens. The distinguished visitors
were Immediately driven to Senator
Hanna's house on Dawson street. By
special request, there was no demon
stration, but there was a wealth of
bunting and decoration everywhere.
The mayor had issued a proclamation
inviting everybody to decorate their
buildings in welcome of the chief eX-
ecutive, and the invitation was liber-
ally complied with. On the porticos of
the houses on the streets through
which the presidential party passed
were ladies and gentlemen, who sa-
luted the president and cheered as he
passed. To these the president bowed
and smiled as he raised his hat. Thou
sands of people lined the streets and
cheered. During the afternoon com
mittee of school children called upon
the president and Mrs. Mckinley, and
presented them with a large tray OF
violets having the word Welcome in
white in the midst of the purple pillow
bordered with green. Mrs. Mckinley

TELLS OF CONTRACTS.
Packer Swift, of Chicago, an I'm.
portnnt Witness-A Difference
in interpretation.

Chicago, March 15.-During the tes-
timony of Gustavus F. Swift before the
army court of inquiry Tuesday it devel-
oped that there is a serious and re-
markable difference between the gov
eminent Interpretation of Swift d Co.'s
contract for supplying meat and that
put upon it by the corporation itself.
After witnesses had testified that the
refrigerated meat could not be kept
fresh long enough to be transported to
the troops in the interior of Porto Rico.
the president of Swift & Co. was called
and the clause of the contract calling
for 72 hours preservation after land
ing was read to him by Col. Davis and
by Maj. Lee. He repudiated this pro-
vision and declared Swift & Co. under
stood the meat was to be supplied to
the troops at port stations only, and
was not guaranteed for a longer pc
Rod than "a hours.
The strongest point in Maj. Lees
fight to sustain the commanding gen
erals charges was made here. He pre-
sented to the court the contract and
tAS diilSAAhS Sbo tSiiChl VI NIL oNl1p
with the remark that he had shown
the existence of a serious misunder-
standing. ''Mr. Swift says "a hours;
the contract made with Gen. Eagan
says 72 hours. / submit to the court
the differences, upon which it can place
it's own Interpretation" said Maj.
Lee. Mr. Swift was by far the most
important witness of the courts Chi
cago investigation, and he was on the
stand longer than an hour.
Capt. Homer F. Aspinwall, of Free
port, who was in charge of the supply
ship Manitoba, which sailed from New
port News to Ponce August 5 with
100000 pounds of Swift's meat aboard,
testified saying the beef arrived at
its destination in good condition, but
after being removed from the refriger-
ator would not keep longer than seven
hours. This statement evidently made
apparent the fact that no attempt
had been made at chemical preserva-
ton, but the formal query in this re-
gard was put to him as it is to all wit
nesses. He answered that there had
been none.

THE DEED OF A FIEND
Becker, the Chicago sausagemaker,
Has Confessed.
TELLS OF THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE.
After Killing the Unfortunate Wom-
an, He Boils Her Remains and
Burns Such Portions As Are
Not Thus Destroyed.

Chicago, March Is. = August A.
Becker, the sausagemaker who has
been under arrest for four weeks on
charge of numbering his wife, made
full confession Tuesday night. He
said that he cut his wife to pieces and
burned the remains in a stove. Becker,
when first arrested, admitted killing
his wife, but declared he pushed her
off Randolph street viaduct into the
lake and that she was drowned. The
police have never placed any reliance
in the drowning confession, and have
kept up their work Oh the idea that
Becker killed the woman in his house
and made way with the body. The
finding of portion of human lung
three, days ago in Becller's barn put
strength in their theory, and late Tues
day night they induced Becker to con-
fess.
His Confession.
In his confession Becker said he had
killed his wife by striking her on the
head with Ratchet in the kitchen of
his home. He then cut the body to
pieces and boiled it in large kettle.
After watching the disintegration of
the remains for several hours and
when nothing was left that resembled
human body, Becker says, he took
what remained and burned it in red
hot stove, the fire having been pre-
pared by him. The bones which would
not burn he buried on the prairie near
his home
1or, T.. 4 u
he committed the murder. He asserts
the crime was not premeditated, but
that he quarreled with his wife on the
afternoon of that day, and in the heat
of passion he struck her on the head
with the Ratchet. Only one blow was
needed to cause death, and after that
had been struck the sausagemaker
says he thought of the way to dispose
of the remains of his wife in order to
destroy all chances of detection.
The piece of lung and portion of
calico which were found under the
barn and which the police believed to
be strong evidence against Becker, he
says. could not be any part of the body
of his wife, as he is certain that he de-
stroyed every particle of flesh, and he
maintains the dress which she wore
was also entirely burned.
The police will look for the woman's
bones to-day. They refuse to tell at
present the location of the spot where
Becker says they are buried
