Beef Court Will Sustain Eagan and
the Packers.

Washington. April 19-The army
court of inquiry has begun the framing
of its report. While a few minor mat
ters remain for examination they are
not such as to affect the main facts. 1t
is regarded as certain that the court will
find that Gen. Miles charges that en-
balmed or chemically prepared beef was
sent to the army have not been sus-
tanned. The position of the court is be-
lieVed to be that the testimony is con-
elusive that both the refrigerated beef
and the canned beef were in good con-
dition when delivered to the govern
ment and continued so until issued to
the troops, except that portion dam
aged in transportation or affected by
tropical conditions and to these causes
of injury and these conditions the chief
causes of trouble will be attributed. 1t
will be shown that the refrigerated beef
if taken from the ice in the tropical
climate spoilS quickly unless we'll cared
for and that canned beef, after being
opened, because of the great heat be-
comes repulsive in appearance and soon
unpalatable. But the court will hold,
as the result of chemical Investigations
by experts that the canned beef is
wholesome and nutritious Attention
viii be called to the fact that it was
used throughout the war by our navy
and is still used by the fleet. 1t is be-
lieved that the court will criticise those
officers who have testified that they be-
came aware that bad beef was issued to
the troops and failed to report their OBJ
servations until after the war had
closed.

The Mail and Express says that Mr.
Barnum of the law firm said that Mr..
Reed had already practically become a
member of the firm but would not en-
ter actively upon his new duties until
after he had taken a brief vacation in
Europe.
The final decision was not made by
Mr.. Reed until all the details of his ac
ceptance of their offer were arranged.
Mr. Barnum could not say exactly
when the speaker would leave for his
European SojOurn, or just how long he
would remain. He was to have sailed
with his family today on the Paris but
his stay here will not be much pro-
lOnged.
In all likelihood, his friends say. he
will remain on the other side during

SAME OLD FIGHT.
Senator Teller Declares There
Will Re
No Deviation From the Pro-
gramme of 1896.
THE ALLIED FORCES
Of the Democrats, POpulists and
Silver Republicans
Will Again Battle Against the
Gold Standard.

Denver, April 19.-United States Sem
ator Henry NJ. Teller and Congressman
John F. Shafroth, in statements pub
Hshed today, emphatically declare in ia
Vor of maintaining the silver Republi-
can organization, not only in Colorado,
but throughout the union. They say
that the silver question Will be the par
amount issue in 1900.
Mr. Teller says that the gold DEM
ocrats will not be able to control the
Democratic convention, and that, as in
1896, they will support the Republican
candidate. He says that the Democrats
ic convention will reaffirm the platform
of 1886, and that the party must and
will be allied with the silver Republi-
can party and the POpulist party, both
Of which must maintain their organiza-
tions and lend all their aid to win
victory in the great battle of 1900.
Il can not conceive of a political sit
uation that will induce me to favor a
union with the Mckinley Republicans
says Senator Teller
The Republican financial system is
one fraught with great danger to the
country and one well calculated to
make the rich richer and the poor
poorer The Republican party favOrs a
large standing army in time of peace,
Of not less than 100000 men, at an ex-
pense of not less than S125.000. 900 to
S10O,OVO,OVO per dHnuIn 1t IS us purpose
also to increase this army in proportion
as the population of the country shall
increase
THE Republican party is so thorough
ly dominated by trusts, syndicates and
combines that 1 have no hope of RELIEF
in that quarter. 1 thoroughly believe
that the continued administra ton of the
government by the Republican party as
now controlled threatens the very ex-
istence of free government"
Mr.. Teller expressed no preference as
to candidates, but Mr.. Shafroth sug-
gested the nomination of Bryan and
Towne. He says there is a complete
silver Republican organization in thirty
two states, and at-least that mum mber will
be represented in the national conven-
ton.

lightly, and up to a short time before
her death one unacquainted with her
age would have taken her to be much
younger. Her reInem brance of happen

was perfect, and she could tell many an
interesting story of customs and occur

her son, was governor of Kansas from
1884 to 1889, and was one of the best
known men in the state. He died in the
summer of 1889, a short time after his
retirement from public life.
Mrs Martin was born at Brownsville,
Pa, and attended school in that city

SAVED BY A QUICK TURN.
La Touraine Nearly Col1ides With q
Derelict.

New York, April 19.-The sharp eyes
of a lookout man on the French liner
La Touraine. which reached New York
from Havre. saved il from a collision
with the derelict British bark Siddartha
last Tuesday afternoon. 200 miles west
of the English channel. La Touraine
had a narrow escape. and it's passen-
gers were unanimous in the opinion
that the Siddartha is a menace to navi-
cation.
Nothing is known of the fate of the
bark's crew, and though the dereIict
has been drifting off the English coast
for more than a month, the cause of its
wreck is a mystery.
La TOuraine left Havre on April 8,
with 166 cabin and so steerage passen-
gers. 1t was steaming 16 knots an hour
in a moderately high sea at 2:20 D. m,
Tuesday, when the lookout suddenly
shouted a warning of a craft directly
in the steamers course.
Captain Santelli was on the bridge
He took one look through the glass, and
saw the dismasted wreck of the Sid
dartha, lying low in the water. partial
ly awash. The man at the wheel re-
ceived a quick order. the liners course
was changed several points, and it
swept past the wreck so close that pas
sengers on deck had a good view of it.
