was made"
DR.. w. :. Devoe. of Chicago. an in
spector of the agricultural department.
who in 1894 made an inspection of the
packing houses of Chicago on COM
plants. was called to testify concernins
his report which could not be found. He
proved a very unwilling witness. saw
ing that he saw no reason why state
ments concerning facts of four or five
years ago should be brought out here to
the detriment of the business firm which
had since, so far as he knew, obeyed the
law. He said that the firm of Nelson
Morris & Co. was the one which had
been especially investigated. The testi-
mony had been given mostly by dis
charged and disgruntled employees and
was to the effect that carcasses of con-
demned cattle had been taken from the.
tanks and placed on the local market.
The findings had not been conclusive
There had been no evidence that the
firm had connived at this disposition of
the carcasses of animals and there was
a denial of the complaint by the firm.
The board sent a reply to General
Miles saying it would take the matter of
his proposition to supply more witnesses
under consideration, but intimating that
the board did not require further testi-
mony relating to the canned roast beef
General Miles sent another letter in an
swer to this saying that the inquiry
was not only OF great Importance, in
volving the health and life of the army,
but that the honor of the service was at
stake. He added that $4,000 men and no
doubt many more could give evidence
substantiating the assertion that the
meat was unfit to eat and he expressed
the hope that out of this number 13I
whose names he had submitted would
be allowed to testify.

The commission emphatically asserts
that II is willing and anxious to estab-
lish an enlightened system of govern
ment under which the people may enjoy
the largest measure of home rule and
the amplest liberty consonant with the
supreme ends OF the government and
compatible with those obligations which
the United States has assumed tows rds
the civilized nations of the world. The
proclamation then says there can be no

United States. in the esta blishment and
maintenance OF the government, is to
consult the wishes and secure the aG-

contains eleven articles, declaring
Americas intentions, and the first is
that the supremacy of the United
States must and will be enforced
throughout every part of the achipei-
ago. Those who resist can accomplish
nothing except their own ruin.

Testify to the Fact
Washington, April 5-The army
court of inquiry yesterday again heard
Dr. Daily in regard to the character of
beef furnished for the army during the
late war. He reiterated his former
statements and declared that the re-
frigerator beef smelt like a human
cadaver after it had been embalmed.
Dr. Nicodemus, of Philadelphia, who
saw service in Porto Rico. corroborated
this testimony. comparing the smell of
the beef TO the odor about dissectinS
room.
The day brought out a proposition
from General Niles to supply the court
the names OF a large number of wit
ness. and that he had in February offer
ed the official reports OF 147 officers az
testimony, but that the court had not
indicated its acceptance OF then.
Colonel weston's Quarter of Beef
DR.. DAILY first stated that he had been
made president Of various national
medical societies of the United States,
and a member of foreign societies, in
recognition of scientific Investigations
by himself, and without any asking on
his part. He then testified that he had
seen a quarter of beef on a transport
at Tampa, which Colonel Weston had
shown him and told him ii had kept
sixty hours. The colonel said nothing
about preservatives. DR.. DAILY cut OFF
a piece. cooked il and ate it and il made
him i'll. He later made the trip from
Porto Rico on the transport Panama,
and il was supplied with the best OBJ
tainable refrigerated beef with re-
frigerator and plenty of ice. but it
went bad. was condemned and thrown
overheard. He cut off pieces of this
beef and later experimental thereon.
Hard to Explain the Smell.
Referring to the criticism of the war
commission on his report regarding the
smell of that beef-that it was like
boric acid-he said: 1T is as difficult
to say what smell is like as it is for
an artist TO paint a dying groan. If
the phrase was offensive" he added. II
might have adopted the language Of the
soldiers, some of whom said il smelt
like the devil, while others compared il
to a bouquet of cess pools" He had
experimental with beef treated with
boric acid and had found It to smell as
foully as could be imagined. He then
produced a report by DR.. Clark. chief
chemist, and Or. HilGebrandt, chemist
of the geological survey, on the beef
from the Panama. They both found
that boric acid and salycilic acid were
present.
