WILLIE ". ASTOR
GETS AN APOLOGY
London Mail Does the
Polite Thing.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Feb. Tn the Queens
bench division of the high court OF JUS
tice to-day before the Lord Chief JUS
tice of England, Baron Russell OF killo-
wen and a special jury was heard the
suit of William Waldorf Astor against
the Daily Mail of this city to recover
10000 damage for a libel which held
him I'D to ridicule and contempt"
There was an imposing array Of
counsel on both sides. Sir Edward
Clarke. O. c., counsel for the plaintiff,
said the libel was published on Octo-
her 1S last, and was headed Mr.. As
tors Strange Dinner Party" 1t de-
clared. counsel continued, that as the
outcome of a wager of 5000 pounds with
General owen Williams, Mr.. Astor
brought the trunk of a California red
wood free here and gave dinner party
nj Cliyedon around it. A fictitious list
of guests. counsel said, was published
and indeed, the whole details except
the mere fact that Mr.. Astor brought
the tree to England was an eHort or
imagination, and Mr.. Astor clalmeo ne
was therefore held up to the public as
foolish and ridiculous person.
Sir Edward Clarke said Mr.. Astor
was an American gentleman of great
wealth who had made this country
his home, had house in Carlton
House Terrace and was the owner or
the beautiful estate of Clivedon,' and
that soon after he settl nfsd in England
graphs from time to time appeared
about him."
Mr.. Astor then took the stand and
confirmed Sir Edward Clarke's state
mems He added that many of the
guests mentioned were unknown to
him and he expressed the belief that
some of them did not exist. The mat
ter caused him great annoyance. but
he was always willing to accept an
apology. Thereupon the Lord Chief
Justice asked If it were possible for an
apology to be given at this stage of
the proceedings. The Right Honorable
Edward Carson, @. c., formerly solicit
tor general for Ireland, in behalf of
Alfred Charles Harmsworth, principal
proprietor of the Daily Mail and other
papers, said his client was always
ready and willing to apologize.

MILES TO

GrouDdIess.

NEW YORK, FEB. THE Washing
ton correspondent of the Herald tele-
=, graphs: President Mckinley will re-
:ceive from the War Investigation Com
mission tomorrow or Thursday its re-
port Of the investigation it has made
@snto the conduct Of the war with Spain.
- The report when made public will be
found to be unanimous and to be con-
firmation Of the HeraId's forecast of the
contents of the document. Only in one
important particular has a change been
=, made, and this is that the commission
has directly criticized the Secretary of
War for lack of f1rmness in his admin
-tstration of the War Department.
The commission gives no specific IL
Illustrations of the Secretary's weakness,
but through its report little evidences
OF this fault of the Secretary can be
found, particularly in the matter of his
relations with Major General Miles The
commission has determined not to dwell
upon matters of strategy, and for this
reason has left out of the report all
reference to the action of Major Gen
eral Miles in going to Santiago, of the
Secretary's permission for him to do
so, and of his dispatch to General Shat
ter saying that he was not to be sup
planted in his command bv the major
general commanding.
With respect to General Miles, it will
be found that that officer is severely
criticized and the President will find
ample material from the standpoint Of
the commission to take action against
the major general commanding.
The commission will devote an i'm
portant chapter of it's report TO General
Miles charges concerning embalmed
beef and bad meats generally furnished
the army, and will find that they are
practically without foundation. It will

BURL|NGAMES
Win At POLO
Defeat the Men From
Riverside.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. flowing to
the cold weather scarcely 800 people
witnessed the polo game to-day. The
first vehicle to arrive on the ground
was the Hobart coach and four-in-
hand, Mr.. Hobart himself handling the
ribbons and showing little effect of the
serious illness which has kept him until
to-day from all the gay doings since the
horse show began. Seated on the coach
were Mrs. Hobart, Mrs. w. E. Lester
and Mrs. Charles A. Baldwin.
The Burlingame team, Respondent in
bright red jackets. pale blue caps and
white breeches, was first to appear. 1t
was followed shortly by the Riverside
team, clad all in white. The Riverside
players were Robert Lee Bettner, c. e.
Maud, G. L. Waring and H. r. Mackie.
The Burlingame team was composed of
Richard and Joseph Tobin, c. Dunphy
and Charles A. Baldwin. DR.. ]. A.
Edmunds, the father Of polo" acted
as umpire for Riverside and Richard
McCreery for "Blingum.' The sonor-
Gus voice of the pool seller announced
that the odds on the game were even.
but they changed to 10 to on Bur-
lingame when, after the first period of
ten minutes play, the game stood / to o
In FAVOR OF the nOrtnernerS.
In the first period the ball was put
out, and by a good swing Of his stick a
'Blingum" sent it spinning toward the
south goal. The play was fast and
furious. The Riverside team blocked
several balls that seemed sure to pass
goals. Toward the close of the period
the ball was sent rolling toward the
northern goal by Burlingame player,
and the ponies strung out in a pretty
line across the field. One of the River
side players ponies proved to be the
fieetest, and clever backward swing
of the players stick prevented the ball
going through the goal At the end Of
the first period the score was 1 to 0
in favor of the Burlingame team.
The Riverside team had no better
luck in the second period. When time
was called the score stood to in
favor of Burlingame
In the third period c. A. Baldwin OF
Burlingame and R. L. Bettner of the
Riverside team collided violently and
were dismounted. The crowd in the
grand stand thought the players were
injured, but their fears were soon
quoted when Umpire Edmunds an
nounced no one hurt. At the end of the
third period the score stood 8 to in
favor of the Burlingame team.
In the fourth period the Riverside
team scored a goal. When time was
called the score stood to 1 in favor Of
Burlingame.

report the beef was not chemically pre-
pared, that it was of good quality and
that the charges of the use of chemicals
in the beef probably grew out of the
fact that four quarters of experimental
beef were placed on board transport
at Tampa by Mr.. Powell, inventor Of
the preserving process, which he desir
ed TO test This meat was thrown
overheard by direction Of General
Wood No chemicals. according to the
commission, were employed in the
preparation of canned meat, but 1T will
be found that the meat was unfit for
use in the tropics because of climatic
conditions, which made it unappetizing
in appearance, though it was perfectly
good, except in those instances where
cans had been accidentally punctured
or imperfectly soldered, thus allowing
air to enter.
The recommendation will be made
that the inspector generals depart
ment be radically reorganized and the
report will sharply criticize General
Breckenridge for abdicating his office of
inspector general to accept commits
sion as major general of volunteers.
Instead of going to Santiago to witness
a battle there, the commission will
state he ought to have been in the
United States continuing inspections;
and had they been made with more fire.
quency epidemics of typhoid could have
been avoided.
The medical department will also be
criticized for lack of inspections, as
we'll as failure to properly carry out
sanitary regulations. The Secretary of
War will be cleared of responsibility
for the transport horrors, but Colonel
C. F. Humphreys, now on General
Brooke's staff, who had charge of the
fitting out of transports, and officers of
the quartermaster's department In
charge of them will be held responsible.

The work Of cutting down the grades
on the Chicago division Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Rail Road will be be-
gun at once, and most of the heavy
work will have been completed by
spring.
The Chicago division work includes
reductions between Titfin, O., and At
tica, where a 2S-foot grade will be re-
duced to Is feet, for a distance Of 16
miles, the heaviest cut being at Repub-
lie.
At Teegarden, Ind, there are 1850
cubic yards to be removed, to reduce
the grade from % to Is feet. Between
Garrett and Ripley, Ind, there will be
a relocation Of the line for seven miles,
reducing a 26-foot grade to 16 feet,
both east and west bound.
These reductions will cost about
100000, but will allow an increase of
nearly 80 per cent in train loading
when they are completed.
