STARVED ON CANNED BEEF.
The Mems Emaciation Cited As Proof
DR. Senn's Testimony

Chicago. Ills. March Il. The Gov
ernmcnt court of inquiry today examined
two witnesses with reference to the beef
question Dr. Nicholas Sem and Lieu
tenant Colonel \. W. Corliss. DR. Sem
entirely dsapprovcd the canned roast
beef as an army ration for any length
OF time, and Colonel Corliss told OF the
soldiers dislike OF it, The court will
hold an all-day session tomorrow. ex-
Meeting to leave for New York tomorrow
evening, or Thursday morning. The re-
manning witnesses will be those suggest
ed by Major Lee in behalf of Major
General Miles.
nr. Sem. of Chicago. who served IN
Cuba aud Porto Rico. testified that the
troops in Cuba lived largely on canned
roast beef and bacon. He had every
reason to believe that the canned beef
was not roasted, but boiled. 1t was
tasteless. and certainly lacked nutri-
tious qualities. as was apparent from the
condition of the men who returned from
Cuba to Montauk-men who had never
been i'll. but were greatly emaciated.
He believed that the meat was overdonc
that there was some fault in the pro-
cess of preparation-that the process
has not been perfected. The bacon was
of good quality. He could say nothing
about refrigerated beef because he did
not see any of it i'll Cuba or Porto Rico.
He made no formal inspection of the
canned roast beef, but had eaten some Of
it and his statements were based upon
his own experience.
In reply to General Davis the witness
stated that the meat as prepared by the
packers. according to the testimony Civ
en-, would not lose much of its nutrition
on account of being boiled in the cans.
He saw no evidence of the use of chem
icals in the canned roast beef. He had
heard of cases of ptomaine poisoning,
but did not see any. Ptomaines would
not develop if the meat were thoroughly
sterilized and properly sealed. When
opened the meat should keep twenty-four
hours. 1t would not be safe 10 eat it
after that time.
Lieutenant Colonel \. w. Corliss, who
was attached to the Seventh infantry
in Cuba, testified that he left on the
first Of July and knew nothing of con
ditions there after that.
up to that time he said, 1--WE got Il
good deal of canned corned beef and
canned roast beef, also bacon in small
quantities. Complaints were received
about the roast beef: it was dislikcd
very much. The officers and men had
the same rations. We tried to eat the
canned roast beef, and did eat it, but III
order to do so we had to mix it up with
hard tack and fry it. We tried to eat
it plain, but could not: it made us sick
and gave us bowel trouble"
Major Lee did not examine the wit
posses. and the court had no questions
to ask.
To court adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.

Counsel luxembourg Empowered to Draft an
Amendment 10 The City Charter PIac-

New York March 21.--The following
preamble and resolution relating to the
Windsor Hotel fire were passed unani-
mously to-day 10y the Board of Alder
men:
Whereas, the terrible catastrophe. in
the shape of the Windsor Hotel fire,
with the accompanying loss of life and
millions of property. has wildly called
the attention of the public to the neces-
sity of the greater protection of the
hotel living people, therefore be it
Resolved That the Legislature is
hereby respectfully requested to pass,
and the Governor to sign bin which
will give the commissioner of buildings

authority to investigate and if necessary.

bie
Assistant Corporation Counsel Often
bourg called especial attention TO the
law governing the construction of fire
escapes. He said that it appeared abso-
lntely useless. He was opposed to
special and arbitrary legislation and
was i'll favor of home rule. n law should
be framed and speedily passed vesting
power in interested departments in this
city concerning the government of hotels
here. He called attention to the Great
er New York charter. and said. that
while every provision had been made
concerning the construction and arrange
ment of buildings of the city. there was
no provision bearing on the licensing
of hotels. He had in his mind the
drafting of an amendment to the charter
giving to the municipal assembly OF
this city. power to pass any ordinance
in relation to hotels and their manage
ment so far as it involved public safety
He said that when this was done. then
the matter could be taken ,Ip at leisure
and that any measure hearing upon the
subject could be presented to the munich
pal assembly.
The suggestion of Mr. luxembourg was
approved, and it was agreed to allow
the corporation counsel to draft such
an amendment and send it 10 the Legis-
iature tonight 1t is then understood
that regarding the license measure no
hotel man will be allowed a license
until the departments in which power
has been vested have passed upon it.

HIGHWAYMAN LAST NIGHT.
Camille D'Arville at Her Best iii This
Tuneful Opera.

Camille D'Arville came last night hoy
yo-to-hong into theatrical favor here.
1t was not a large audience that greet
ed this gifted artist in the Highway
man." at the Academy of Music, but it
was a sympathetic and expectant one.
They were not disappointed.
She has been gifted-this famous ac-
trcss--with one of the richest voices that
ever nestled in human throat. That
voice she has learned to manage with a
remarkable technique in respect to purity
of tone and fiexibility of motion. And
lie it the lifting song of youth and hope
she sings or the sadder song of blighted
love, her clear notes. silyery and liquid,
somehow search out and thrill the heart.
Beautiful as dream, with a voice like
nightingale. she has brought art and
bouyant temperament to the part Of
Lady Constance Sinclair, the loye-sick
belle of corrupt court. She succeeds
in il nightly. The character had been
moulded on her and fits her all over.
But why heap gold on Croesus?
There are others-and in this opera,
too
There's Dick Fitzgerald, the Irish sol
der of fortune gentleman gambler.
highwayman and lover-all with equal
facility.
And Constable CUTLER who finally had
his long years of Disgusting himself and
his humble and inferior subordinates
rewarded by the capture of the genuine
and only original Capt. Scarlet TO find
hat he had a pardon in his pocket.
Then there's Toby Wrinkle who didn't
know when he was well off, till an Irish
woman three times his size marched him
off and married him.
And others-plenty of 'em--including q
score of pretty girls with shapely ankles
and nimble feet
An opera worth anybody time and
money is the Highwayman as played last
night.
