Above Memphis, on the Arkansas

And she jest goes right along?" said
the man.
Yes"
"And comes right home AGAIN." said
the wife.
Yes
They looked at each other for half
a minute without speaking, and then
the man heaved a sigh and slowly
said:
Wall, stranger, sort O. reckoned a

bound to go, and the only thing left
for us pore folks is to hev the fever

ADMIRAL KAUTZ
Writes an Interesting Letter to His
Brother Regarding Affairs in Sa-
mOa.


Georgetown, Ohio, May 4.-Frederick
kautz, of this city, has received let
ter from Admiral Kautz. his brother,
in which he recounts some OF his recent
experiences in Samoa. By way of in
formation for his brother, the Admiral
notes that Berlin treaty provided that
in case of the death of the King of
Samoa, the chief justice should select
his successor. This the chief justice
did last August, when the King died,
selecting his son Malietoa. A revolu-
ton was started January l, he says, and
continues:
THE English and American consuls
had to make a compromise and accept
a provisional government to stop the
war with Mataafa and thirteen chiefs
in charge"
Admiral Kautz then adds: when I
came l said to the Americtn and English
consule You did this because yau were
too weak to do anything else. Now we
are stronger, let us undo the wrong And
We did.
Il had no idea of doing anything but
needing an investigation on what had
been done since January 1, but the German
consul general was arrogant and unreas-
enable, so that l was obliged to do some
thing or suffer disgrace, even in my own
estimation.
Il therefore concluded TO do what ought
to be done and refer the matter to the
government later on"
The Admiral says he followed ;nstruc-
tons literally and has no fear of the con-
sequences

COL. CARROLL RETIRED.
End of Military Career of Over
Forty Years.

Col Henry Carroll, recently promoted to
on the retired list today on his own appli-
cation. Col Carroll entered the army in
January 1859, as private. and rose grad
ually in the ranks until he reached the
grade of lieutenant colonel of the 9th
Cavalry, in May, 1896. During the Span
ish war he was appointed brigadier gen.
eral of volunteers and served with distinc-
ton in the Santiago campaign, being badly
wounded in the sharp fighting at San Juan
Hill His active military career covers a
period of over forty years.
His retirement results in the promotion
of Lieutenant Colonel Theodore A Bald
win of the 10th Cavalry, to be colonel of
the 7th Cavalry; Major Theodore ]. Wint
of the 10th Cavalry, to be lieutenant colonel
of that regiment, and Capts. Martin B.
9th Cavalry, to be majors of that regi-
ment. All the officers named, whose pro-
motions come, however, in the regular rou-
tine of the service, rendered splendid SER
vice in the Santiago campaign. Colonel
Baldwin was made a brigadier general of
volunteers for service in that campaign
but vacated that commission on the reduc-
ton of the volunteer army. Colonel Wint
was another hero OF the Santiago cam
paign, when he was severely wounded. He
has only recently recovered sufficiently
active duty. The 9th and 10th Cavalry are
colored regiments, and each contributed
materially to the success of the Cuban
campaign which resulted in the capture of
Santiago and the surrender of the Spanish
army.

he could detect meat soused in preserva-
tive liquid or rubbed with powder a con-
siderable distance away. He refused to
answer other cross-Questions as to places
he serves in the south on the ground that
answers would injure his trade. At Tampa
he processed" one carcass a second time,
because he wanted to see how another
touching up would affect it."
Told of Col. weston's Action,
He said he knew Col Weston had tel
egrephed the commssary general that the
Powell process had been successfully
tested, and also made a long written re-
port. He asserted that he relied solely
upon the fumes of burning chemicals in
confined space to preserve meat Armour
q Co. verbally agreed, he said, to use the
process if they secured the Cuban contract
snd Mr. Conners knew all about the Tampa
experiments before the bids were opened
me firm was not awarded the contract He
declared he has eaten a great deal of meat
preserved by himself. The effect was to
bleach the fat and darken the meat to a
deptn about the thickness of ordinary
paper He said he had frozen meat that
kept six or eight months. When mold APP
peared on the surface of meat it was an in
dlcation that no fermentation had occurred
WltHln the meat. He said that the merits
of his process had been presented to Swift
Il Co, but he never heard from the firm in
reply
In reply to a question by Major Lee the
witness said he had not heard that the
meat sent to Porto Rico had been preserv-
ed. He admitted that beef would not keep
seventy-two hours in Cuba after leaving a
refrigerator unless ii had been preserved.
If meat kept that length of time then i'm
his opinion, it was proof that a process had
been used other than the simple refrigera-
tion.
Capt. Davis Testffies.
Capt. Geo. B. Davis assistant commits
sary general, recalled to the stand, testified
that canned roast beef had been sent to
Camp Alger as part of the travel ration in
anticipation of a forward movement. He
said that cans of cold roast beef were
opened in the ccmmissary generals office
and always had been found to be good. He
had never seen bad can. No experiments
IN cooking this meat had been made. The
Armour Packing Company had submitted
he said, complete ration ii being can
OF beef onions and potatoes. 1t was bad
because the onions had decompcsed. TAX
ing up certain statements by Chief Clerk
De Cafndry, on the stand, the witness said
he did not have charge of the office files
and had not removed any paper from them.
one OF the papers supposed to be missing
had been found in the possession of a clerk
who was preparing information for the
court.
Executive session was ordered at This
point.
No More COrrOb0rative Testimony.
Recess followed. and at the afternoon ses-
sion the recorder announced the decision of
the court to adhere to its previous ruling as
to witnesses. This was to the effect that
no more will be summoned for either side
in cases where the testimony will be purely
cumulative or unless new facts are to be de-
veloped. The reading of officers reports
proceeded until The Star went to press. All
contained denunciations of the canned roast
beef.

AS TO TRUS SITS,
Mr.. Landis Thinks Some Declaration
Should BE Made.

Representative Landis who has just come
to Washington from Indiana, is urging
upon representatives of the administration
the desirability of having some authorita-
tive utterance made public declaring the
antagonism of the administration to trusts.
He had a talk today with Secretary Gage
and others on the subject, arguing very
earnestly that the republican party through
some responsible medium disavow any re-
sponsibility for or sympathy with the trusts
He said that the people in the middle west
were aroused in antagOnism to the trusts;
that small interests were being sacrificed,
and that IL the administration did not in
some way not to be misunderstood avow
its antagonism to trusts, the question would
become very prominent in the next cam
paign and dangerous to the republican
party in that section of the country.
Mr.. Lands says that the trust question
promises to make a more exciting issue in
Indiana than was the money question in the
late presidential election.
