to No. 81 Montgomery Street Jersey City
Something went wrong and Percival was
in his room all Monday. Yesterday he sent
the second telegram, according to instruc-
tions, but by mistake signed his own name
This remained unanswered. Percival went
to Jersey City to look up his friend at the
address in Montgomery Street. which is
a hotel. Garland was not known. Percival
went to the Office of the Western Union
Telegraph Company and asked If the tele-
cram had been delivered. Bertholf so Per-
cival claims, declared he had no knowledge
of the messages. Then the stationer went
to police headquarters for advice. He is
now the complainant against Manager
Bertholf.. AS he is a nonresident and had
no friends who would go on his bond for
$500 his address for the next few days will
be the Hudson county jail Bertholf was
held for the. grand jury and Percival was
committed as witness. Bertholf is under
81, 800 bail on the indictment found against
him last week

The continued support Of President Nc
Kinley has emboldened Secretary Alger
TO take the most daring step of his extra
ordinary career-a step that in the minds
of impartial observers must confirm the
suspicion that he fears the discovery of the
truth in the beef scandal
There have been four alleged investiga-
tions into the charges that an attempt was
made to force on our soldiers an inferior
and unwholesome ration of beef, for which
a high price was paid or to be paid by the
Government. Only one of these investiga-
tions had the exclusive purpose of reveal
ing the facts, regardless Of their effect on
the foreign demand for American meat.
Inspector General Breckenridge, the prop
er officer TO institute an inquiry as The
basis of subsequent action by the Govern
ment, was alone Indifferent to every con-
sideration except the naked truth. All the
OF hers began their work with an expression
of indignation against General Miles for
his exposure, and with the aim of dis
proving his charges. OF course, the truth
would be shown by them, only in event Of
its being against General Miles and in
favor of the meat. That is why General
Eagan was confident of hearing by the
Alger Relief Commission in his abusive at
tack on one of the witnesses OF that board,
and CT official countenance.
There could be no security for the War
Department as long as General Breckin-
ridge was employed in gathering evidence.
His report would almost certainly expose
the bad quality Of the beef and nullify
all attempts TO discredit General Miles.
If, as was TO be expected, General Breck-
inridge should bring forward conclusive
proofs Of the badness of the article which
Secretary Alger insisted the army should
consume the country would demand the
prosecution and punishment Of Swift &
&C., and an investigation of Secretary AL
ger and the Commissary General. 1t was
vitally necessary that General Breckin-
ridge should be called off.
Therefore, with the courage of despera-
tion-knowing that it must be accepted
by the public as conf of its worst
uspicions-Secretary Alger details Gener
al Breckinridge to make an inspection
tour OF Cuba and Porto Rico that will take
LuOuluSr anu IL tlal IS not enough, ne
will be sent to Manila as soon as he re-
turns. This stops the one honest inquiry
into the beef scandal.
1t cannot be pretended that anything in
Cuba and Porto Rico has half the impor-
tance for the Inspector General that the
beef scandal has. 1t is believed that he has
already collected evidence enough to war
rant the prosecution of the company that
supplied the meat. He will never be al
lowed to finish his inquiry and make a re-
port: or. if he does send in a report. it will
never get further than the office of the Ad-
jutant General. 1t is absurd to suppose
that the representatives of foreign nations
in Washington Will not understand this
suppression of the Inspector General 1t
may save Secretary Alger from some trou-
BILE. but il Will not help the cause of Ameri-
can meat in Europe, but quite the contra
r.. The boldness Of the stroke shows how
great was the menace to the War Depart
ment-that and the pretended violence of
the Commissary General.

improbable.

The Senate's executive session yesterday
was supposed to be for the purpose of dis
cussing the Treaty, but Very little was said
about that document Senator Frye, how
ever, had ample warrant for his rebuke to
Senators Hoar and Mason for the en-
couragement they have given to the out
laws in the Philippines. If there is any
argument in favor of secret sessions, the
mischievous speeches of these Senators are
the essence of it. If there is to be support
to treason, it should be given behind lock-
ed doors.

which smashed the lamp which set fire to the
place The FIRE was cxtinguished before doing
much damage: The rat was burned to death.

A curious fact about the extraordinary
attack of General Eagan on General Miles
is that although the words he used-care
fully typewritten-were the words of vio
lence and heat, the phrases of mad pas
sion, they were read with calmness and
without any display of feeling. AS far
as his manner was concerned his state
ment might have been a mass of figures
showing the prices paid for various arti-
cles Of food The impression he made was
that these were not his own words; that
they did not represent any feelings of his;
that he had merely written out state
ment that his suPeriors expected him to
make, in language which they suggested
and in which he had no personal interest.
1t is certain that General Eagan will not
be in demand for amateur theatricals, and
that If dismissal from the army should fol-
low, he cannot take to the stage as a
means OF support

BERLIN THINKS ENGLAND

WOULD PURIFY THE ISLAND
Concessions From France VIII BE
Dcmanded-Thc American En-
panSiOn POLICY.

Berlin, Jan. 13.-The opinion is preva-
lent here that the difficulties between
France and England are by no means over.
and that England is bent on eXacting fur
ther concessions from the republic.
No one appears to doubt that if France
were in the same relatively strong position
that England occupies today there would be
war tomorrow. AS matter of fact, most
people believe that the English need
war-not one OF those that are profitable to
illustrated journalism but a war that
would carry of q hundred thousand men
and which in its consequences would lead
to publication from internal corruption and
decay that are undermining England's
greatness.
This war would force the adoption of
universal compulsory military service.
So far as the United States is concerned
there is general impression that nothing
can now stop them on the path of expan-
sion. which sooner or later Will affect Eng
land n great deal.
Careless stories have been INDUCED in
with regard 10 the expulsion of Danes
from Prussia. but every body here acquaint-
ed with the true facts agrees that though
such rigorous measures are regrettable,
they are absolutely necessary.
Although the Lippe- Detmond imbroglio
seems to have been smoothed away the
truce is only "Treve des coniseurs." 1t is
even rumored that there is a secret treaty
in existence regulating the question of the
Lippe eDetmold succession, and that this
treaty was at the bottom of the recent
''fracas"
If this rumor is well founded another
outbreak may occur at any moment.

SOME MARVELLOUS MINERALS.
Quartz In Which a Gas Bubble Has
Been In Motion Millions of Years.

DR.. A. a. Julien of Columbia college
has n his possession two or three of
the most wonderful minerals in the
world. One of them is a piece Of quartz
which he picked up near Columbia,
New Hampshire. This bit of quartz is
transparent, and has a little cavity in
it's center filed with liquid, in which a
bubble of gas keeps jumping about
from side to side. The bubble is very
small and can be seen only under the
microscope. 1t is about one micron.
that is, 1-25,000 inch in diameter. and it
dashes from wall to wall of the civity
in restless motion, like a monad try
ing to escape. Now. this motion must
have continued during the ages which
have elapsed since the consolidation OF
the granite. In other words, the little
bubble was enclosed in the quartz sew
eral million years ago. when all rocks
were in a molten state and the earth
was in process of formation
The bubble has been jumping about
ever since. unable. against the strong
material of the quartz. to discharge its
peEt-up energy. Probably, from this
fact, il has kept in motion longer, and
moved a greater distance, back and
forth, than any other substance on
earth. The cavity in which it moves
is about double it's size. so that the
bubble travels about LIS, eco inch at
every jump. and it moves irregularly
