all his boyhood days and taught winters
in the country schools while attending
college. After graduating from Dart
mouth he taughtin Craftshury, and was
then principal of Chelsea academy. He
studied law in Chelsea and was admit
ted to the bar in 1856.
Mr.. Ross then settled in St. Johns
bury, practiced law, was treasurer of a
bank, served several terms in the legis-
lature, and in 1870 was elevated to the
bench. In 1890 he became chief justice.
The new senator married Eliza Ann

and he then married Miss Helen DagI

A FLOOD oE TESTIMONY.
Gen. MILES Says IL Has aued in Upon
Him and Corroborates 1Kis "Em-
baImedv Beef story.

OSus Ihhteh shyH ~ hthh HAuueu III OpOh
Him and Corroboratos Hkis 'Em-
balmed" Beef story.
New York, Feb. 1.-Gen. Nelson A.
Miles gave out the following statement
last night, after denying several pub
lished interviews attributed to him:
"On the Goth of last September is.
sued an order to regimental command
ers to report to me concerning the beef
which had been issued to their men.
At the time that l went before the war
board investigating committee l had
only received reports from IA COM
manders. Now have 80 reports. They
all tell the same story. Inc evidence
proves the truth of the statements
which | made. In addition to the re-
ports of the regimental commanders 1
have a great mass of evidence consist
ing of communications, affidavits, ETC.,
from officers, soldiers and civilians.
Every part bf the country has contrib
uted to the mass of correspondence
which / have received in reference to
the beef served to our soldiers and the
evidence is all corroborative of what |
have said. The great publicity which
the press gave to the matter brought
all the correspondence of which l speak
upon me.
81 have overwhelming evidence that
the embalmed beef was treated with
chemicals in order to preserve it. l
have atfidavits from men who saw the
beef undergoing the embalming pro-
| cess.
Now, as to the canned roast beef
that was different from embalmed beef.
| The canned roast beef was the beef
after the extract had been boiled out
of it. You have seen the advertise
ments beef extract; one pound con-
tains the substance of from four to
five pounds of prime beef Well, this
is the beef after the extract has been
taken from it. They put this beef pulp
in cans and label it canned roast beef.
The soldiers report that the canned
beef was nauseating. If swallowed it
could not be kept on the stomach"
| 1t was pointed out to Gen. Miles that
he had been quoted as having said that
if the men who supplied the beef would
deposit a thousand dollars in such a
way that it could be made to pay the
cost of the proceedings he would fur
nish absolute proof of his assertion.
He was asked what tribunal he had in
mind or to whom he would furnish
this proof and in reply said: 81 made
that statement in response to the of
fer of the beef men to pay 100000 for
evidence of the truth of my allegations
against their product. l looked on
their offer as a bluff and took that way
of answering it. l have no tribunal in
mind. i have the greatest abundance
of evidence to support the charges
made and do not think that any part
of the $1,000 need be spent in more in.
vestigation."
