Col. Davis
1.-THE majority of the contents of the

refused to eat It," replied the witness.
Mr.. McAlexander said the greater part
of the refrigerator meat appeared very
fair The men complained they could
eat only a very small portion of each
can of roast beef If any at all, continued
the witness. Under the conditions that
surrounded US 1t was no use to complain
1t could not be bettered. Perhaps six or

PrOnOunces Trusts the Giant Evil,

er Planks for Winning Platform,

NEW YORK, March 25-The Herald
will print tomorrow letter from Oliver
Fl. P Belmont, in which he calls on the
Democrats to harmonic their differ
ences and close up the ranks for the bat
tie Of 1900. He says:
Speaking for myself, I am a gold
man, but I will unhesitatingly support
free silver 16 to l. should it be made the
platform sentiment of the party in 1900.
1 will give my full support to any can
didate whom the convention selects
However. I do not regard the ques-
ton of finance of primary Importance at
any time. 1t will grow steadily less i'm
portant between now and the next cleo
ton. Some suggestion of the truth Of
this can be found by comparing last fall 8
election figures, state by state, with
those of 1896. 1t is not to be denied that
general interest in finance as a question
or. to put it plainly, in silver at Is to l.,
as question, is falling away. There is
no such general strong silver demand as
there was three years ago. That no
doubt is due to a condition of better
general business and easier times. For
myself, however. 1 say again, I do not
fear silver. We have had silver coinage
before and succeeded just as we have
We will not meet with wreck if we have
silver, any more than ruin is to over
take us under the single gold standard.
The trusts form the giant evil, i'm
minent and threatening in our affairs.
There is no time or room for details
here. But the monster combination of
money, called the trusts, whose methods
contemplate the bribery of congresses
and legislatures and even the control of
courts, must be destroyed.
''To this we should have an income tax
and an inheritance tax. We should have
public ownership of all these franchises
which are now in the hands of great
railroads, bridge and electrical companies
and other combinations of kindred sort.
Above all, we should have the initiative
and referendum, and so put within the
actual power Of the people and the polls
to propose or pass law or, if need be,
press to repeal law in spite of any &C
ton by venal or corrupt congresses or
legislatures.
1--WE should attack government by in
junction and the national bank system
We should be for the election of senators
and the United States judges by the peo-
pie. We should be to increase the navy
and against an Increase in the army We
should be for economy and for the cut
ting down of expenses. We should be
against expansion and the Selling of the
Philippines islands, beyond such harbors
or islands as are necessary for naval sta
lions.
eff we were to go in for all these mat
tiers and add to them an attack on the
opposition for It's rotten war record, for
its roguezy Of embalmed beef, for its
steals OF contract, there would be no
doubt Of Democratic success"

Two More UnrecOgnizabIe bodies
Taken From the Ruins.

NEW YORK, March 25-Two bodies
were found in the Windsor hotel fire

The number Of known dead is now
twenty-six. A special patrolman. former

men and eleven women are unaccounted

The first body found today was near
the Fifth avenue side Of the ruins. 1t
was in an unrecognizable condition, and
could not even be identified as the re-
mains Of man or a woman The Sec
ond body was found at 9:15 o'clock to-
night, under some steam pipes in the
archway of the first wall of the base
ment, twenty feet north of Forty-sixth

the trunk are ribs and some pieces of
flesh clinging to the bones. The body
was wedged under some twisted pipes,
and great difficulty was encountered in

AIMING AT ALGER.
Gen. Miles Hopes to Connect Him
With the Reef Scandal.


NEW YORK. March 25.-Convinced
that the evidence already presented to
the court of inquiry has proved his al
legations of the unfitness of canned roast
beef as an army ration, and confident
that he will be able to offer evidence con-
elusive of the use of personalities on the
refrigerated beef Maj Gen. Nelson A.
Miles is on the eve of attempting to place
a share of the culpability for the selec-
ton of both foods on a parsonage higher
than Commissary General Eagan-Gen.
Russell A. Alger, the secretary of war.
This statement can be made with con-
fidence tonight, inasmuch as the details
of the intended plan are no longer a
complete secret, though the knowledge as
yet is confined perhaps to less than half
dozen persons. Washington is slated to
be the scene of the generals coup.
In so far as the purchases of canned
roast beef are concerned the crusade of
the commanding general against the sec
rotary may end with an endeayor to
show that strong packing house atmos-
phere, due to the presence of various
agents of supposedly competing firms,
was being breathed by the head of the
war department as well as his commits
sary general during the period when the
orders were placed, but, it is asserted,
that specific testimony will be offered on
the issue of refrigerated beef.
The project contemplates the introduce
ton Of testimony, alleging that there
came a time when Gen. Eagan halted and
refused to go further along the road laid
for him by the contractors, and that then
Gen. Alger stepped in and bade his subor-
dinate proceed.
The action which Gen. Eagan feared to
taks is asserted to have been that Of
making refrigerated beef a ration for the
Cu%ln campaign
Since the court of inquiry began its ses-
sionS army officers on the witness stand
have admitted that the issue of refrlge-
rated beef to an army in the field, partic-
ularly In a tropical country, was more
of an experiment and a greater depart
ure from precedent than the distribution
of untried canned roast beef The army
method proved. under the stress of Civil
war and of the following decades of In
dian campaigns on the plains, has been to
issue beef on the hoof. driving the cattle
along with the army. The original inten-
ton Of the commissary department, ac-
cording to the story vouched for by the
Miles group Of supporters, was to follow
the example of the past and load cattle
upon the Cuban transports.

When a structure is close to the neck Of the
bladder, the risk of an operation is always
greater and the percentage of failures always
higher. Mr.. Vollmer had for some years very
troublesome structure in the deep urcthra, close
to the bladder. His home doctor had tried to
cure him by operation, but falling In that he
settled down to the regular use of q steel sound
as the only treatment he knew of that could be
of service. One day MIR. Volmer saw an adver-
tisement of the Solvent Alterans method, and
Immediately sent for an explanation of the same.
This was SO common sense and so humane that he
decided to testit, although he was very skeptical.
The result was indeed marvel. He suffered
no pain or distress while employing the Solvent
Alterans, and his progress was indeed most
gratifying. In one month the Solyent-Alterans
cured him. Five months later Mr.. Volmer re-
ported that he was still curedand that the results
were permanent. He found the system perfectly
safe; 1t was asier than the sound and surer in
the result. Solvent-Alterans does away entirely
with the surgeons instruments and operation.
1t is a home treatment and can be employed by
any one without difficulty. Full particulars can
be obtained without cost; all that a man need
do is to ask for the free books describing the
Solvent-Alterans method. They will be sent by
mail, sealed, and free of charge. 1t will pay any
man to investigate before submitting to an oper-
alton. Address tile Empire Medical Company.

MEETS A SUDDEN DEATH.
LifeIess Body of Michel Meyers
Found in His Room Mt a Hotel.

Michel Meyers, an Austrian fifty-seven
years of age, was found dead
In his room in the Mitchell house. lis
West Fairfield avenue. about 10 o'clock
yesterday forenoon. He retired at 8
o'clock Friday evening, and when found
his head was reclining on q pillow.
while his feet rested upon the floor, and,
as he was partially dressed, 1t Is sup
posed that he was stricken while in the
act of making his toilet.
Recently he has suffered from a sore
foot, and last Tuesday an effort was
made to have him admitted to the city
hospital, but, as the assistant city ply
sician did not consider the case serious,
he was not removed.
A couple of days ago his foot became
worse. and it Is presumed that death re-
suited from blood poisoning, this being
the opinion Of Coroner Nelson after view
ing the remains.
Meyers was a widower and he leaves
father and brother, and one son and
a daughter in Chicago. He came to St.
Paul in 1883 and has been in the employ
of the st. Paul Darrell company as a
cooper.
