SENATE AND HOUSE.
The Compromise Army Reorganiza-
ton Bill Passed by the Former and
two APPROX ration Bills by the
Latter.

Washington, February 27.-After a
contest that will be memorable in the
history of the Senate, the compromise
army reorganization bill was passed
this evening at 7:10. When the Sen
ate convened at II o'clock this morn
ing it seemed more than likely that
the bill might not be passed during
the day. Mr.. German, OF Maryland,
insisted that his amendment providing
that the army should not be increased
permanently or beyond July l, 1901,
be incorporated in the measure. For
several hours it appeared probable that
this insistence at least would throw tie
bill over until tomorrow and perhaps
defeat it. An agreement was reached
finally, however and Mr.. Germans
amendment, in a Slightly modified
form, was accepted
The notable speech of the day against
the measure was delivered by Mr.. Vest,
of Missouri but his brilliant eloquence
ayailed nothing against the measure as
finally agreed upon.
Tonight the Senate took up the sun
dry civil bill and completed its reading,
all of the committee amendments be-
ing agreed to except those relating to
the District of Columbia. The bill
was then laid aside to be completed to-
morrow.
Mr. Chandler IN. HI offered an
amendment to the naval appropriation
bill authorizing the President to ap-
point two vice admirals of the navy
who shall not be placed on the retired
list until eight years after the passage
of the bill, except upon the application
Of the holder of the Offices; the offices
to cease to exist when vacated by
death or otherwise.
The bill is intended to advance Ad
mirals Sampson and Schley.
The House was in session seven
hours to-day and sent to the Senate
two more appropriation bills-the
army, which has been under considera-
ton for several days, and the fortifica-
lions. The former carried about $79,-
100000 and the latter approximately
$4,700,000. The final conference report
upon the Indian appropriation bill was
also adopted. The only amendment Of
Importance attached to the army bill
to-day was one giving two months ex-
ira pay to enlisted men in the regular
army who served beyond the limits of
the United States during the war with
Spain, and one months extra pay to
those who served in the United States
The discussion of the administration
policy relative to the Philippines,
which has been occupying the atten-
ton of the members to the exclusion
of almost everything else during the
consideration of appropriation bills for
the last two weeks, was continued to-
day, several speeches being made on
the subject.
Mr.. Dockery Dem, Mo-, the lead
ing Democrat on the appropriation
committee, asserted that the appro-
priations for this Congress would reach
$1,000, 100000.

THE BEEF INQUIRY.
More Evidence Taken by tine Court Yester-
day-Evidencd of Enlisted Men.


day-Evi1encd of Enlisted Men.
Washington, February 27-When the
army court of inquiry into the beef
charges met to-day after its two days
recess it expected to begin the eXamina-
ton of some of the enlisted men of the
army, who had not only seen the army
furnished in the field, but eaten it in
quantities, wherein they differed from
the most of the officers who had pre-
viously testified. The enlisted men
were slow in arriving however, and the
first witness was Lieut.. Charles F.
Dwyer, 9th infantry now at Madison
barracks. This witness had only a
vague memory of what the meat COM
ponent of the ration was on the yoy-
age from Tampa to Santiago. He
knew that after the command had
landed the men had bacon, cOrned beef
and canned roast beef There were
numerous complaints as to the canned
roast beef, but there was no official
action taken on these complaints as it
was difficult to get anything in the
way of rations to the front and the
army felt that the commissary depart
ment was doing the best it could.
After the capture of Santiago wit
ness was stationed altogether in the
city, and his command getting the
refrigerated beef early in the day it
was always fresh and good, and he
heard no complaints as to the quality
He had made no report on the beef
after returning, and should not feel it
his duty to do so except under orders.
He had been made sick on one occa-
sion by eating canned roast beef stew,
but otherwise his health had not suf-
fered.
Brig. Gen. Robert D. McFeeley, re-
tired, who was cOmmissary general Of
subsistence from 1875 to 1890, testi-
fed that during his service lie had rec
commended the introduction of a regu-
lar travel ration with view to better
ing the condition of the soldiers. Prior
to that the men often had suffered on
long trips in trying to live for several
days on what was then known as
cooked ration" which usually con-
sisted of bread and meat without even
coffee.
Col. Davis read the records referring
to these orders dating back to 1875
and showing that canned fresh beef
was included as part of the travel
ration.

Harry Cornish and H. G. Barnet. wrote
the address on the package of poison. Is

Roland B. Motneux did it?'
Col. Gardiner then said that the letters
to his mind, had been written by de-
geenrate.
1t was 5:15 O'Clock when Col Gardiner
concluded his summing up, and after a
brief charge to the jury by Coroner Hart,
the case was given in the hands of the
