TRIAL ENDED WITH MURDER.

after the first conversation General Eagan
had asked him to return another day.
The next morning. when he called, the
general had told him that he must purchase
refrigerated beef for Cuba but he did not
indicate that this position was taken at
the instance Of any superior officer. He
tMr. SIMPSON, had not, therefore, put in a
bid.
Use of Prcservntives.
He also stated that he had had more or
less talk with General Eagan and with the
agent OF Armour Co. concerning the
use Of preservatives. This question was dis
cussed in a general way with Mr. Eagan,
who told him that some Investigations were
being made in the south in that direction.
He had inferred that the experiment was
made both in the interest OF the govern
ment and the packers
MIR. Simpson said that since that time
he had made a bid which had been ac-
cepted, for supplying beef on the block to
the inland points in Cuba and that he was
now engaged satisfactorily in that work, Sc
curing his cattle from Texas the United
States of Colombia and Venezuela. He also
stated that he had had considerable expert
ence in shipping beef abroad and that re-
frlgerated beef generally brought about 2
cents per pound less in the London market
than beef from the live cattle shipped over.
The witness did not believe 1t possible to
keep beef in a good condition out of a re-
frigerator for twentyfour hours. 1t would
change in appearance in two hours and mold
soon afterwards. He thought the proper
way to supply the troops in Cuba was to
have refrigerator plants in the island and
kill the beef there each day.
Lieutenant William b. Conrad of the
Twenty third infantry who had charge OF
the cooking of the mess on the transport
Indiana, said the refrigerator beef had kept
good for about two weeks, but that after
this time it became so badly tainted that
many of the men would not use it. A num-
ber of them also objected to the canned
roan beef The Indiana carried fresh food
supplies for Admiral SIMPSONS fleet, but
much of them were spoiled by the beef.
The odor from the hold was like that from
a horse that had been dead for week or
two and was so strong that the men would
get out of the way when the door was
opened Eight thousand pounds were
thrown overheard, but the remainder was
issued to the fleet though considerable of
it was tainted.

HARMONIOUS UNDERSTANDING.
Agreement Reached Between Railway
TeIegranhers end Union pnciMc.

Agreement Reached Between Railway
Photographers end Union Pacific.
Two weeks of deliberation have resulted
in an harmonious understanding between
the Order Of Railway Telegraphers for the
Union Pacific system and the management
of the road new agreement has been
made which is similar in all respects to
the one made with the receivers of the Union
Pacific five years ago which had expired
by Limitation.
In January the executive committee of
the Order of Railway Telegraphers met In
this city to take up the subject of a new
agreement. The committee had other busi-
hess affairs to attend to, and 1t was in sesr
sion here a full month. 1t was impossible
for the committee to confer with the rail-
road officials at that time because of the
prolonged absence of General Manager Dick
inson By mutual agreement it was decided
to postpone the conference until March l.
The committee did not return to Omaha
until two weeks ago, but there was no fur
uler delay in the negotiations. The confer
ence began at once, and 1t is said that
throughout the many daily sessions only the
best of feeling prevailed. The committee
returns home feeling more than satisfied
with its treatment by the railroad manage
ment, believing that the rights of the teleg-
raphers will be respected,
Under the new agreement the minimum
wage is to be $45 month on the Nebraska
and Kansas divisions and $50 a month on
the Wyoming and Colorado divisions. This
is as it was lnder the old agreement.
There have been a few changes in the pay
of certain operators, but where there has
been a reduction in one case there has
been corresponding increase in another.
Certain concessions to the operators which
have been in vogue in the past on portions
of the system have been extended under
the new agreement TO the whole system,
while few abuses alleged to have existed
in some sections have been eliminated.
Twelve hours will constitute a days work
at stations where there is but one operator.
At several stations eleven hours will be
counted day and in six others ten hours is
the limit Overtime allowances will be the
same as under the receivership manage
ment
The new agreement, now being printed
preparatory to being sent to all the OPP
orators Interested becomes effective at once.
1t will affect about 450 operators along the
system. There is no time set for the dura-
ton of the agreement, but it may be set
aside at the motion Of either of the con-
tracing parties.

nations will be amicably adjusted
Mr.. White, upon several occasions this
week, has expressed a like opinion to the
correspondent of the Associated Press. He
repeated that neither the German nor the
United States governments attached much
Importance to the Samoan imbroglio and
added:

Disruption of Socialist Party.
The socialist party Is being disrupted in
ternally in consequence of book written
by Herr Bernstein, one OF it's chief intel
lectual leaders. recently published, in which
the fundamdental doctrine that the poor are
constantly becoming poorer and that capital
is becoming more concentrated is strikingly
disproved. The socialistic press admits that
If the claim is correct the fundamental
doctrine of the party is demolished, but
the socialist papers neither admit nor deny
the truth of the allegations. The nom
socialistic press, on the other hand, points
out that one by one the socialist doctrines
have. shown their fallacies and If left alone
the socialist party will go to pieces.
Herr Bebel announced at socialist meet
ing at Jena this week that IL the party
splits, which he considers likely, another
and much more radical party will come
into existence

says: ut is shameful that in spite of the
paramount German interests in Samoa
English Is the only language officially al
lowed"
The paper then asks the government to
see, in the negotiations pending, that Ger
many Is accorded equal rights with Eng
land. In conclusion the Kreuz Zeitung re-
marks: "England's success in Samoa at
Germanys cost would be the worst business
England has done for the last hundred
years.
The Tageblatt expresses confidence that
neither Great Britain nor the United States
will override legitimate German rights and
maintains the government possesses in
formation to the effect that no such attempt
will be made
The Cologne Gazette publishes letters
from it's correspondent at Samoa. The
latest, dated February is, rehearses the old
complaints against Chief Justice Chambers,
who Is charged with overstepping his func
tions toward DR.. Raeffel and Herren Fries
and Won Buelow. The correspondent also
claims that the landing OF the blue Jackets
and marines from the British cruiser Por-
poise In the Grevesmuhl affair was injudi-
cious and calculated to make matters worse.
According to this correspondent the whole
attitude of the British representatives was
wrong and the rigid non-interference Of the
German war ship Fake in the native quar-
rels was the only correct one.
The Gazette corrects several of the cor
respondents statements, but maintains that
Mr.. Chambers attitude has been incorrect.
The general tone of the press, in COM
menting upon the recent occurrences, is one
of dlstrust, both of Great Britain and Of
the United States, and their ultimate in
tentions. In this the German newspapers
have seemingly been confirmed by specials
received from the United States, all of
which assert that the American press and
people desire serious encounter with Ger
many.
Believes in AmicabIe Settlement.
The influential centrist Cologne Voks

anti-German sentiment prevailing in the
