The Beef INQUIRY,

The inquiry into the charges made
by General Miles that the beef furnish
ed to the army during the late war, was
treated with chemicals deleterious ito
the health of the soldiers, under the
"pretense of an experiment" has pro-
gressed Tar enough to indicate that
there Is no probability of the charges
being sustained. ...-
The State Journal has frequently as
serted that General Miles's structures
on the army beef were not warranted
by the facts, and that the sweeping as
sertions which he made in his testi-
mony before the war commission were
actuated by personal motives, rather
than a desire to do his country SER
vice. From the very first the com
manding general of the army" has
made a great show of dignity, but all
his utterances on the subject have been
guarded with ambiguous phrases, by
which 1t was apparent he hoped to es-
cape the responsibility for his charges
In event of his failure to prove them.
His cunning was effectively thwarted.
however, by sine of the newspapers,
which, in their anxiety to make capl-
tai out OF his charges, reduced his in
sinuating phrases to direct English.
Although given full opportunity to
deny these interviews, General Miles
has not done so, but has evaded di-
rect answer by saying that the pub
llshed statements did not correctly
state his position
The commanding general" has also
admitted that his use of the term "pre-
tense of an experiment" was an unfor-
tunate blunder. This is a very mild
expression for a charge that implies
criminal completely in action. II
General Eagan's offense of branding
false and malicious charges by forci-
bic and inelegant language demands
such severe punishment as suspension
from the army, We are at loss to un-
derstand what adequate punishment
will be found for the man who has
falsely accused brother officer of
crime.
The publis has had enaugh of Gener-
al Miles, and the best interests of both
the army and the nation will be sub
served by his speedy retirement.-ohio

SchIey and Sampson.

4 An. inherent and natural admira-
zion for the spirit of fair play enables
the american people to tolerate, even
it they do not approve, the Sampson
Schley controversy. For this reason
they read with care the late statement
of Admiral Schley, made to the Senate
by permission OF the Navy Department
We do not propose to reopen the
controversy in these columns, but we
are glad to testify to the straightfor-
ward letter of defense of Admiral
sSchley, who states his case In clear
and buslness-like way, without any
personal slings or half-concealed in
suits against his superiors. Most nat
urally he is surprised that he should
have received letter commencing his
course as late as May "a, and then re-
eelving, through the department, in
formation, which must have come
from the same source, that his conduct
was reprehensible.
He also calls attention to an order
commanding him to watch Cienfuegos,
and this, too, from a superior who
made it convenient to find fault after
the great engagement in which Schley
was the commanding officer. This or
der was never mentioned by Sampson.
He overlooked it completely, and to
the great harm of Admiral Schley. g.
But it is a dispute that will not be
settled. We find fault mainly because
1t is used as an excuse, or made SUCH
to keep Dewey from his laurels. AS
to the two commanders, whose friends
are wrangling, both have. great merits
and both deserve promotion. But
the mass of intelligent Americans
care but little for the small personali-
ties or minor facts. Drop them all!
Promote Dewey make him an Ad-
miral. Give the others the rank of
Rear Admiral, with equal standing in
the rank. This, we think, will be sat
isfactory to everybody, except those
who are too bitterly partisan in the
controversy to be reached by an ad-
justment which will leave either of the
two wrangling Admirals in the lurch.

The Mountain State Gas Company
proposes to increase their gas supply
for Parkersburg and Marietta, and are
preparing to drill a couple of wells on
the Benjamin Starr farm and one on
David Garrison's land. One of the To-
cations will be only 1900 feet from the
Nederman No. 1, and Should oil be
found the well will pass into the con-
trol of the South Penn Oil Co.-Park

tween Elk Run and Wilson Run which

The Granite Oil. Co. have had tools
fast in a well on the Theis farm on

at present three wells in operation

the year. 1t was not onIy the incen-
tive for starting lot of new work in

holders to dispose of their leases and
production at a great advance figure

determined by subsequent develop
ments. At this ,lIne there are but six
wells drilling in lnat development and

Run development mentioned, have had
much better success, Work in this
pool has. also declined very much, ow-
ing to the pool having been defined.
At the present time there are but three
wills drilling ana the same number of
rigs up. Four wells were completed
during the month and the amount of

rue MEAT SUPPLY.
Correspondent Advocates lncreas.
ed Australian lmpOrtatiOns.

Householders will probably be called
upon shortly to face a further increase
in the price of meat. The limited sup
ply of late has caused considerable I'M
easiness in the community. and the
outlook Is by no means encouraging.
1t Is generally known that the bulk
of the meat importation comes from
the Mainland. where the scarcity in
production has brought about consid-
cradle rise In prices, while the Aus
tralian shipments have been consider
ably curtailed by reason OF limited &C.
commodations upon the steamers. The
following communication explains
itself:
Editor Advertiser: With reference
to the present unsatisfactory condition
OF the local meat supply. and the state
ment In an afternoon paper that on ac-
count OF the general rise in prices on
the Coast further increase Is contem-
plated here. one Is tempted to express
an opinion that contract to import
regular quantities by every steamer
from Australia and New Zealand would
induce the steamship agents to increase
the capacity OF the cold-storage cham
bers on their vessels. and so enable To-
cal dealers to at all times supply the
rapidly increasing demand. With beef
at "a cents a pound In Kansas City
and Chicago, and only 1 to 5% cents
In New Zealand according to latest re-
ports. 1t would certainly pay to in.
crease the importations from the
westward, especially as the Australian
supply Is practically inexhaustible anu

LOST ON A Reef
Fate of Island Steamer
Kilohana.
She Went Ashore Fairly Suuds,
Morning Near Laha,na- Mate
was Aslsep on Duty.

The new island steamer Khohana Is
ashore and total loss on Maui. Early
Sunday morning the vessel, owing, 1t
is presumed, to an error of calculation,
struck 1ahaina reef. There was no
chance to save her and she had to be
abandoned. The vessel belonged to
the lnter-Island company and was built
at Port Blakeley. Wash. about year
ago. She cost over $4,000 and her
loss includes this sum and the value of
cargo Of coal. cement and sundries.
All that was saved from the wreck
besides the lives OF the crew and the
two passengers was some machinery.
The Kilohana was In charge Of Mich
olson. master. who was making his
second trip. He was not on deck ut the
time of the accident but had left In
structions with the mate how TO keer
the vessel headed. He claims that the
mate went to sleep. Chief Engineer
Tillander says the accident occurred
about midnight and that all hands
worked until 4 a. m. to get the Kilo-
hama of. But 1t was no use.
The Inter-lsland people say there
was an error in calculation and mis-.
placement Of lights.
When the Mauna LOa passed yester-
day morning the Kilohana was rapid
ly breaking up. her bottom was gone
and her condition hopeless.
