cHplsrMAs ENTERTAINMENTS.

There will be two Christmas enter tainments in this city next Saturday evening, one at the Congregational aud the other at the Friends church. The holding of two entertainments is the proper course, for neither one of the churches would be large enough to hold the people who wish to attend. Not. withstanding these conditions, it has come to the knowledge of the writer that some feeling and much rivalry has been shown by some of, the church people of this Island, with respect to these two entertainments, and, as ed itor of a religious paper, we wish to re- mind our christian brothers and sisters that considering the object of the two meetings-the celebration of the birth of Christ-any feeling concerning the giving of the entertainments is un- christianIike and unworthy. To prop erly bring this matter before the Pow CTS that Be, we would suggest the in- corporation of one paragraph in the prayers of the ministers on that occa- sion, as follows
 "Having met, Oh Lord, to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Thy Son Jesus Christ, we do most earnestly pray Thee to search our hearts and if there is found therein any feeling of jealousy or rivalry concerning the en- tertainment in the other church in this city, remove it at once and stand not on the order of doing it, but doit quick and effectively. TO love thy neighbor as thyself' is one of thy commands, and oh Lord, give us power and strength to keep it. We know that some of the protesting christians of this church would like to see the entertainment in the other one a dead failure and this one a bowling success, and to all such, oh Lord, put it into their minds to ask of Thee What would Jesus do? We know that christianity is not progress ing as rapidly as it should, and we re- alize that owing to our many short comings we are stumbling blocks in the path of those who would wish to love and serve Thee, and therefore we be- seech Thee to give the church members a ten times greater power to love each other and show by their daily walk and conversation that they are indeed fol- lowers of Christ. Oh Lord bring ter TOT to the hearts of the liars, gossip CTS and deceivers, and year hence may there be dozen, yea a score of Christ mas entertainments on Douglas Island, and may the prayers of all church members be that each and everyone will be grand and glorious, and a power in upbuilding Thy Kingdom on earth"

CRITIClSES M'KINLEY

over killing of FiIipinOs.

BOSTON. Feb. 1.-THE subject of ''Imper-
talism' was presented as the theme for
discussion at the dinner of the Working
mems Political League, at the Quincy House
tonight, Edward Atkinson, the economist,
taking the opposition to Civil-service Com
missioner John R. Proctor, who spoke in
advocacy of the topic. Mr.. Atkinson re-
ferred to President McKinley's statement in
calling upon the people last April to sup
port the government in an effort to break
the rule of Spain, to the effect that forcible
annexation could not be thought of, as by
our code Of morality it would be criminal
aggression and said that as an incident of
the removal of Spain from Cuba had been
the abatement Of that rule from the Phil
ippines, but nothing had changed the pur-
pose Of the undertaking nor the conditions.
lie asked if, under the code OF morality,
the work of sIaughtering lately executed
under the orders of the chief executive is
not an act of criminal aggreSSiVeneSs. He
held that the Filipinos had drawn up and
presented state papers which are models OF
intelligent comprehension of their rights,
but which to the discredit and perhaps the
dishonor of this country have been refused
acceptance. Continuing. Mr.. Atkinson said:
I'VE have neither the moral right, the pOllt-
zeal right, and hope we have not the ply
steal power to compel the inhabitants of
these Islands to become our vassals.

ARMY COURT OF INQUIRY.
Members Will Visit Western Beef
PncIxincc Embellishments.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE court of in
quiry to investigate the allegations of the
major general of the army in respect to
the quality of the beef furnished the army
during the war with Spain met to-day at
the rooms formerly occupied by the war in
vestigating commission in the Lemon build
ing. A full membership was present, and
the court went into secret session to dis
cuss the prelimnares of the proceedings
and to endeavor to sketch out the line Of
inquiry to be pursued.
At o'clock Colonel Davis, the recorder,
gave out statement as to the court and its
work. To-day and probably tomorrow
would, he said, be devoted to the examina-
ton Of regimental and other commanders
who participated in the Cuban and Porto
Rican campaigns, with the object to select
witnesses to be summoned. In addition to
these reports the proceedings of the war
inquiry commission would be examined.
The taking of testimony would hardly begin
before Monday. The sessions will then
open. General Miles is expected to testify
first, presenting his charges and their foun-
dations. The investigation will be limited
strictly to canned roast beef and refriger-
ated beef, but the scope of the inquiry will
be so comprehensive as to follow the beef
from packer to private soldier, so that the
action Of the packers and all War Depart-
ment officials connected with the beef sun
ply will be investigated. Colonel Davis said
the inquiry would continue indefinitely, and
ne could give no idea as to the time of its
termination.
1t was learned this afternoon that the
court has practically determined to visit the
packing houses in Western cities from
which beef was furnished. The pilgrimage
will take in Chicago, South Omaha, Kansas
City and perhaps St. Louis. Some of the
officers whose reports General Miles has
placed with the court are now in the Philip
pines. Their testimony will not be sought
OF course they could not be ordered here
and the taking of their dispositions would
be attended with too much delay and in
Der of the court that their testimony would
be cumulative and therefore really unneces-
sary since it would be in accord generally
with what would come from officers who
are accessible. The dispositions of number
OF officers now in Cuba will be taken. The
court will meet at 1920 tomorrow morning
and resume behind closed doors the work
OF mapping out the plan of procedure and
preparing the list of witnesses to be sum-

CANNED BEEF EXAMINED
NO TRACE OF EITHER BORACIC OR
SALICYLIC ACID FOUND.
Result of Analysis of Samples Com
demned as Unfit for FOOd-scOpe of
the Army Court of Inquiry.

CHICAGO. Feb 17.-Samples Of the canned
beef American soldiers in Porto Rico and
Cuba said was unfit for food have been
tested chemically and analysed with re-
spect to fitness for food by expert chemists
employed by the Chicago Tribune. The re-
suit Of these analyses show that In the cans
submitted there was no trace of either bor-
acic or salicylic acid or any other chemical
preservative in the meat aside from salt,
and that the high temperatures of the Gu
ban climate in all probability accounted for
its apparent unfitness for food when opened
by the soldiers The meat analysed was
brought from Porto Rico by Corporal Alfred
E. Zinke Of the Second Wisconsin Volun-
teer Infantry After returning to Chicago
Zinke said in newspaper interview that
the meat was soft and mushy and not fit
for dogs to eat. First, the cans were opened
at normal tempera ture and the contents
found to be in good condition. Then the
meat was subjected for some hours to a
temperature like that of Cuba and Porto
Rico during the summer months, ranging
from ninety to over one hundred degrees
This time the meat found to be in the
condition in which young Zinke described it
soft, mushy and uninviting in appearance
Finally chemical analysis of the contents
OF each can was made, ana the results OBJ
tained are given in detail in the following
report made by the chemists on Feb. s:
ON the TWO samples OF canned meat left
with us for examination, we beg to report
as follows: Canned roast beef-Appearance,
good; not much fat; slight discoloration
near the soldering hole, otherwise clean;
meat firm throughout. Odor, excellent;
flavor good. Analysis: Ash, Iii; fat, 6.12;
muscular fiber, 81. OF; water, 60.75; total, 100
This sample was examined for the presence
Of preservatives harmless or otherwise, more
especially for salicylic and boracic acids.
Neither of these was found Salt had been
added to this material in appreciable GUAM
tity. This would have the effect of render
ing the product more appetiZing. The effect
of exposing this can to q high temperature
was to render its contents soft and unap-
petizing in appearance. On reduction of
temperature it resumed its former appear
ance.
Canned Corned Beef.-Appearance, good !;
much more fat than in the previous can;
dry; odor, good; flavor, good. Analysis: Ash,
2,15 per cent; fat, 1878; muscular fiber,
$685. water, 42.44; total, 100 per cent. EX-
animation for boracic and salicylic acids
shows the absence of these personalities.
The contents Of this can was not salt
in the perVoUs can, due to the fact that
this material is cured for some time pre-
Vious to packing.
1.-THE contents Of both these cans are of
excellent quality and fully up to the stand
ard of the best Of their kind. AS compared,
one with another, the following table may be
of interest:

WORK FOR WAR VESSELS
DEwEY's SHIPS TO VISIT ALI. THE
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Jurisdiction of the United States TO
as Soon as Possible.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-THE admins
tration has determined rapidly to extend the
jurisdiction of the United States over the
whole of the Philippine group, acting on the
theory that delay in this case is dangerous.
and that anarchy and a general paralysis Of
such interests as the islands support would
be brought about through a failure promptly
to replace the Spanish sovereignty over the
Islands by that Of the United States. This
decision involves the necessity of a naval
campaign, and this will be instituted as soon
as Admiral Dewey receives the reinforce
ments in the shape Of gunboats, now en-
route to Manila
1t is not anticipated that there will be
necessity for any formidable demonstration,
but the very fact that the United States
government is able to exhibit a sufficient
force to accomplish the purpose Of occupa-
ton is expected to deter the natives from
prohtless resistance. Owing to the vast num-
Der of the Philippine Islands a large number
of gunboats would be required to visit them
simultaneously, so the programme will be
to have the vessels visit in order the prin-
cipal towns outside of Manila, especially
those where Spanish garrisons were main
tanned on the islands OF Cebu and at Zam-
boango, on the Island of Mindanao, and
some of the cities on Negros. The naval YES
sells probably will be accompanied by some
troop transports and the soldiers will be
landed where necessary to hoist the United
States flag and take possession formally of
the ports. 1t is understood that there will
be no attempt made at this time to displace
any OF the existing municipal governments,
except where they prove refractory and
offer resistance. In fact, policy of conciI-
lation will be followed at all points in the
treatment of the natives.
