GOVERNORS OF MISSOURI.

governors of Missouri, when

In 1904, Missouri. as part of
the Louisiana purchase, wa

that year General William Hen.

Nauseating and poisonous beef
was furnished to the army by con-
tractors. This fact was certified
to by thirty regimental officers Of
the regular army, whose report on
the quality OF the food was asked
for in the usual way. 1t was sub
stantiated by a still larger number
olvolunteer officers, including Col.
Roosevelt.
Gen. Miles stated this fact be-
fore the War Investigating Com
mission on the basis OF these re-
ports. and also as having come
under his own observation in Porto
Rico.
For having told the truth in an
effort to save the lives and health
OF the soldiers, and to protect the
Government from outrageous and
criminal swindling. Gen. Miles is
being prosecuted by the Admin
istration under the form Of an
inquiry into the beet supply.
This Is the"Miles Case"in briei.
The American people are watch
ing the outcome OF this conspiracy.

AIger' Contemplated Junket-

Secretary Alger has decided to
90 to Cuba and Porto Rico on a
personal tour OF inspection, and
has invited members Of the Sen
ate and House military commit
tees and their families to accom-
pany him. The trip is TO cost the
people in the neighborhood Of
5000 900, and a suitable vessel is
now being overhauled and return.
ished for the junket. 1t is crafty
ing to be able to add that several
members Of the committees have
had sufficient selfrespect to decline
Mr.. Alger's compromising invita-
tion.
The War Department offers as
pretext for this little pleasure trip,
the necessity of the SecretarY's
forming a personal opinion upon
the time when 1t will be feasible
to begin the evacuation of Cuba,
but competent army men declare
that there are plenty Of experienced
officers now in Cuba whose views
on the subject are infinitely more
valuable than any opinion the
Secretary might form. and that the
trip from utilitarIan point Of view
is absolutely unnecessary.
We venture to qualify this state
ment by suggesting that the jaunt
may not be unnecessary from
Mr.. Algsr's point OF view as to
what is useful--to him. In the
first place, he will find diversion
from the harassment of an unap-
preciative public which continues
to question his motives, and then,
again, his visit will give him untx-
celled opportunities to look over
the business prospects Of the island
and get in on the ground floor
wherever a good chance suggests
itself.
Mr.. Alger's record as Secretary
OF War is not an index to his bus
mess acumen, where the matter
concerns his own pocket. He IS
going to get valuable information,
that will be useful when his public
career is over, or even sooner, and
If he can charge the public S2oo,-
600 for facilitating his inquiries he
probably regards it as a magnih-
cent stroke Of business ingenuity.

The writer OF that story said ne
found on one of the bodies apocket
| Bible with the names OF several
men on one Of the fly leaves. Then
followed a list Of the crew OF
Chipp's boat, which was not hard
to get, for it had previously been
published several times, Ot course
it was afterwards proved to be a
fake, and was denounced as such
by several Siberian travellers as
soon as they read the story.
In connection with both these
stories was the information that
the police magistrate OF the district
referred to had sent trusted ottlcers
to verify the truth OF the story; but
that, too, was as false as the stories
themselves.
This is not the first time there
have been false rumors OfAndree's
balloon, which, it was claimed, had
been seen making landing IN
Western Canada, not far from the
border OF the United States, and
afterward seen floating over
Hawaii. This time the story was
nailed by the question, "lt 1t was
not Andree's balloon, whose bal
loon was it7" You either had to
believe the story or answer the
question.
The year before Nansen returned
there was a story, said to have
come from mammoth ivory hunt
ers, who had just returned from
the New Siberian Islands, north
east Of the Lena Delta, that Nan
sen had been seen in that vicinity
having returned from the North
Pole, which he was said to have
found to be on range OF noun
tains. That, too, was a lie.
There are a number Of people
who still believe that the chances
of Andree's being alive are about
even. Among these is Professor
Lachambre, the aeronaut who
built the great air ship that carried
Andree and his party away. He
believes that Andree is now at the
North Pole and will return this
year.

a police force Of any strength
deemed desirable by the military
government. Cuba can be turned
Washington sentinel., 1899-02-25

over to the Cubans, and Porto
Rico can be kept in order by a
thousand men.
If this arrangement is found to
cause any embarrassment the
President can call an extra session
at any time, and by removing
Alger and consulting the fighting
officers OF the line concerning the
needs OF the army he can probably
obtain any legislation from the
new Congress which the situation
really demands.

The Zionist movement throughout
Europe has taken on new life recently.
A short while ago the PROPOSAL that all
Tews return to Palestine to found there

a romantic folly by those Hebrews who
