z WASHINGTON LETTER. 4
eFromthe Tribune's Correspondence
Washington, January, 2, 1899.

ooHiHS tOu, oduudEy, 4, 1922.
The President and Mrs. Mckinley
held their first New Year reception in
the White House today, having been
compelled by mourning to omit the
80 reception. The reception was as
brilliant as usual, but there was a
tinge of sadness in Congressional and
diplomatic circles which could not be
shaken off. They could not forget
that the remains of the oldest Sena-
tor, both in years and in service, Nor
rill, of Vermont, after funeral Sat
urday afternoon, in the Senate
Chamber, were on the way to his
state for interment; nor that the fun
eral of the oldest diplomat, in point
of service, and probably the most
popular personally Senior Matias
Romero, late Mexican ambassador to
the United States, was only held
Sunday afternoon, and was attended
by most of them. Senior Romero
first came to Washington in 1859 and
with the exception of several short
periods had been continuously con-
nected with the diplomatic corps un-
til his death. President Mckinley
thought seriously of abandoning the
reception, because of these two deaths
so close together, but after comforting
by proxy, with leading diplomats he
concluded to hold it.

The CHARGE of General Miles, that
beef unfit for use was furnished the
army during the wal with Spain, is
likely to be thoroughly investigated.
The War Investigating Commission
is now working upon it, and the Sec
rotary of War has ordered Board of
Survey, composed of of army officers,
to make searching investigation of
the charge and to report it's findings
as early as possible. Col. DENLY, a
member of the War Investigating
Commission, says the canned beef IN
dustry is at stake: that if the charge
of General Miles is proven, American
canned beef will be barred out of
every country in the world, which
would be serious matter, not only
to meat packers, but to cattle raisers.

for some reason have produced nothing,
bvt these should not be idle all the year.
AS late as June sorghum may be plant
ed for fodder or green fodder for cows
and hogs; or early varieties of potatoes,
Hubbard squashes or late cabbages
may be grown. The latter can be trans
planted as late as July from seed sown
in May. The squashes will be excellent
for the cows and hogs, and nothing is
more relished by sheep than cabbage; it
is an ideal winter food for breeding

At present prices for farm land one
can hardly afford to pay rent. Better
try to get a piece of ones own, even
though it be small, and be in the line to
profit when prices go up again, as they
surely will and are already doing.
There is not much inducement to put
full cultivation and fertilizing on the
land of another.
