H BEEF SCANDAL.

The Army Investigating Commission
has of late been in Chicago and Omaha
inquiring into methods of cooking and
packing beef. In the course Of the in
quiry it has been shown that the
''canned roast beet" was, in fact, not
roast beef at all, but beef boiled until
most of the goodness was boiled out Of
it to be used in beef extract; that the
animals used for the purpose we're Of a
poor grade; and that there was a
physical possibility of tampering with
with the meat at the packing houses
after inspection had ended. AS to
the refrigerated beef some witnesses
testified that it was largely spoiled be-
fore being given out for use; in this
connection there is significance in the
testimony of q member Of one Of the
great packing firms, that the clause in
the contract calling for seventy. two
hours's preservation Of the meat after
landing was modified to read twenty
four hours by General Eagan himself
"a positive contradiction Of General
Eagan's' statement. In the intervals
of it's inquiry into processes, the com-
mission found time to hear several
army men testify that the canned beef
was-to quote only a few sample
phrases-''nauseating," unfit for
food" 'tfoul smelling, " "sickening and
weakening" DR.. j. B. 6haW said Most
Of the meat we received we buried is

Information can be gathered. One re-
port states that the whites are still in

in the negro revolutionary plot with
the avowed intention to s'ring them up
wherever found. Another report states
that the negroes r recovering from
their terror, and are securing arms,

ach and organs Of digestion and nutri-

hitherto incurable ailments. The most
convincing argument for trial of the

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, JUNE 18th. 1899.
1t depends entirely upon Canada
whether temporary agreement on the
Alaskan boundary shall be reached, or
whether the dispute shall remain open
and constant source OF danger. Dip.
lomatic Representatives of the United
States and Great Britain have agreed
upon temporary boundary, provided
on the part Of the English diplomats
that the Canadian government con-
sents. As Canada has from the first
been the only obstacle to the reaching
of permanent agreement, no one feels
over confident that it will agree to the
temporary arrangement, unless COM
PEELED by pressure from the British gov
ernment to do 80. Officials are very
positive in saying that this government
has gone to the limit in making cOnces-
sions in order to get this matter settled.
The administration doubtless has
good reasons for not making public
some of the recent dispatches from the
Philippines, but on general principles,
the policy Of secrecy is an unpopular
one. In the present case it is respon-
siblc for thousand and one rumors,
which are aggravated by the press re-
ports OF more fighting over there. The
public knows that the press reports are
correct as far az they 90, because, other
wise they would not be allowed to pass
the Military Censor at Manila, and
knowing that much, it accepts many
wild and improbable stories. All that
can be had at the War Department is
that things are going satisfactory over
there, but against that is the knowledge
that every recruiting station in the
United States has been instructed to
enlist as many men for the regular
array as possible, and as quick rs pos
sible. On the whole, it would be bet
ter policy for the administration to take
the people into its confidence.

1t is very hard for me to get mail on trip
OF this kind for we are on the move SO much
that mail has no chance to catch u.s..
We left New York ON April IL for Ponto
Dclgada, Island of St. Miguel Azores Islands
which belong to Portugal. The distance
covered to this place was 24l5. Part of the
trip was very rough and the rest very pleas
ant. The city of Ponto Delgada is the pref
tiest place think have eyer seen.--not SO
much the town itself as the country surround
ing. The city lays open to the sea, protected
by break water built of stone, which Is a
good piece of work. Surrounding the city
on the side from the sea are high hills cult
waited up to the tops and laid of in squares.
Ali the lots are separated by hedge fences
which gives the place the looks of one grand
park. This is us far as the eye can see; what
is in the int crior can't say.
The people of Portugal seem to be a very
pleasant lot and treated us very well ashore.
The city is built something on the Spanish
plan or like the cities in the West Indies;
might compare it with Havana, Cuba, with
very narrow streets and low houses
One fault to find with all Of the towns on
this side is that they are not so clean as cities
in the United States. The people do not
take the interest in cleaning up the streets as
in our country. Yet there is E. great deal
