MILITARY USE OF CANNED BEEF.
armour's Representative Says That IL
is SatiSfactorN 10 France nnd England

After The Stars report Of the beef court
of inquiry closed yesterday General Man
aSer Meeker of the Armour company testi-
ned in regard to canned roast beef that
there is no distinction between the pack
ing cattle and those for Iefrfgerating. ex-
cept that the Gamers" and packers
were leaner. so as not to get so much fat
In the can. The leanest part of the carcass
ana the trimmings are selected for packing
Witness said his company turned out
about 100000 pounds of canned meats
last year. The only by-rroduct Of the can
ned beef is the water in which the meat is
boiled. which furnishes IAN infinitesimaI
amount of beef extract"
Pressed TO say how much beef extract
would be made in packing a hundred pounds
Of beef, witness pleaded ignorance OF exact
hgures, adding that IL is impossible 10 ex-
tract more than IL or per cent of nutri-
ment by boiling meat. He said in this con-
nection that the beef extract business done
by his company is small, and that the ex-
tract Is a sumulant more than n nourisher.
witness said his firm had sold a great
many million pounds of canned roast beef
TO the British government by whom il was
used in India, Egypt and South Africa. No
complaints had been received France had
used the beef a regular army ration for
years under three-year guarantee The
Armour company had been underbid I'm re-
cent years by French Madagascar COM
pany, whose products came into France free
of duty. Japan and Germany also used the
canned meat with good results
A certified copy of a letter from Lord
Wolseley of the British army was present
ed to the court in which he spoke in very
favorable terms Of ''tinned meats and vegc-
tables for practical use In tropic cam
paigning.
Regarding contracts with the government.
witness said the governments order for
canned roast beef came to his company un-
solicited: that they made no effort to get Il.
. General Superintendent Wild Of Swift t&
Company was then called. His testimony
covered practically the same ground. eN-
ceDt that his company did no canning.
Edward Tilden'S Urea surer of T.ibbey. No
Neall & Libby of Chicago, meat packers
testimony agreed substantially with that of
ArmoGrS representative. He said that from
his company the government sometimes gof
different grades of canned meat in filling
orders, but the purchasing officers always
knew what quality they were buying.

PASSED BY THE HOUSE.
The Compromise Army ReOrganfza-
ton Bill Goes Through.

In the House of Representatives yester-
day afternoon the deficiency appropriation
bill, the last of the supply measures, was
| passed under suspension Of the rules.
Mr.. Hull then moved the passage of the
Senate army reorganization bill, under sus-
pension of the rules
Mr.. Hull said that it was not such a
measure as the committee would recon-
mend to the House if there were time
ahead, but with this Congress in its dying
hours the committee did not feel warranted
in taking action that must inevitably cause
an extra session,
The most prominent republican leaders
on the floor supported the bill.
Mr.. Henderson Qowa) advocate its pas
sage. He was opposed to a large standing
army There were sharp differences, and
he believed this was the best bill that could
be brought out of the conditions at both
ends of the Capitol.
Mr.. Cannon took the same position and
appealed to members upon both sides of
the House to accept it. Members must
| choose between it and an extra session.
MIR. Grosvenor also added his influence,
and Mr.. Sulzer On V, member of the
| committee. spoke in its favor. He was
anxious to obviate the necessity for an
extra session. and he favored the bill be-
cause he said, it was democratic propo-
sition.
A number of democrats and republicans
| attacked the bill.
Mr. Bailey advised the democrats to ac-
| cept the pending bill, because it met a
temporary condition with temporary pro-
vision An extra session would fasten a
large permanent standing army upon the
country.
Mr.. Steele Qnd) earnestly opposed the
bill, which he denounced as so full of de-
fects that it might be construed to create
an army of $1,000 men or an army of 129
900. After some further remarks by Messrs.
Shafroth (Col), Jett GH) and Williams
(Miss) in favor of passing the BILL the
question came to a vote. Mr.. Henry CTexas)
demanded the ayes and noes amid cries
OF mo-! No! from both sides. Only
eleven members supported the demand and
on division the bill was passed, 203 to g.
Upon the motion of Mr. Boutelle (Me)
the Senate bill was passed to create the
grade of admiral for the benefit of Rear
Admiral Dewey.

Western Industrial Conditions

The Industrial commission yesterday gave
a hearing to John T. Wilson, chief of the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trackmen, of St

ion that the system under which the rail-
ways in the United States are operating
at present has a demoralizing influence on
the public. He believed the laboring classes
would be greatly helped by the creation of

pioyes could appeal and present their griev-
anceS without fear Of discharge,
