SAMUElLSON IS DEAD.
Man Who Is Said to Have Become In sane Because of a Pytbian hi
 tiatiOn Passes Away.

Chicago, March 2.-Anton Samuel son of 9O4 North Francisco street. whom friends say was driven insane as a result of the ceremony incident to his induction into the Knights of Pythias, died last night at the deten- hospital.
 Samuelson was taken to the institu- tion by the police February f6. Since his incarceration he had been violent and the attendants found 1t necessary to keep him in restraint all the time. Monday his case came before Judge Jones at the court for the insane. The judge and jury viewed him in the ward and returned verdict declaring him insane and committing the patient to the asylum at Jefferson.
 Dr. Hunter refused to allow the ra- tient to be moved, as his condition was critical. He grew weaker yeSter- day and finally death ended his suffer inGS.
 Dr. Hunter says Sanluelson was af- ficted with acute mania. Mrs. Sam uelson threatens to sue the Knights of Pythias order for heavy damages be- cause of her husbands death.

SAMPSON AND SCHLEY
An Agreement Reached by Which
 Promotions Will Be Confirmed.

Washington, March 2-An agree ment was reached today among the friends in the senate of Admiral Samp- son and those of Admiral Schley by which the nominations of these officials to be rear-admirals will be confirmed. This will settle the controversy raised by friends of Schley over the justice of the advancement of Sampson eight numbers and Schley six numbers, so that Sampson becomes the senior of Schley on the list of rear -admirals.
 It became apparent to Schley's friends that a continuation of the fight on Sampson would do Scnley more harm than good. The statement of Schley to the committee on naval af- fairs in reply to Secretary Longs let ter to the senate, explaining why Sampson and other officers were pro- noted, has tended to weaken rather than strengthen Schley's case.
 Some apprehension was expressed among the Schley partisans that the confirmation of the nomination of Captain Higginson to be a commodore vice Schley, promoted" might have the effect Of Iegislating Schley out of the navy if no action was taken on his nomination. This view, however is Tot shared by the navy department. where the explanation is made that Commodore Higginson's advancement was contingent on the advancement of Schley to the grade of rear admiral and if Schley were not confirmed the confirmation of Higginson would not be allowed to stand. One of the features Of the naval promotions IS that nobody was nominated for ad- vancement vice Sampson, promoted" :" Captain Philip was advanced three numbers and promoted to be com mCdore for his services in the engage ment with Cervera's fleet, and as the promotion filled the grade of commo- d0re, Sampson, on being promoted from that grade to the rank of rear admiral, did not leave any vacancy. Schley's promotion from commodore to rear-admiral, although made on the same day that Sampson was advanced. was below that of Sampson on the list O. advancemsnts and left a vacancy to which Captain Higginson was pro noted.

DOES NOT HURT US.
Steady Increase of Exports to Can- ada Notwithstanding Discrimina-
 tiOn in Favor of England.

Washington, March D. Especially )- Five months operations of the new Canadian tariff, which gives merchan- disc from England and her colonies lower rates tha1 those from the United States, have nct reduced our sales to the Dominion. Indeed, the exports from the United States to Canada have been during that time nearly 20 per cent greater than in the corresponding months of the preceding year, while those from the United Kingdom and her coEcnies have increased less than 10 per cent during that time, despite the advantages given to them by the new law
 Official reports of the commerce of Canada during the year ending with December, which have just reached the treasury bureau of statistics, indi- cate that American trade with the De- minion has not been seriously affected by the tariff discriminations which became complete in their operations on August l, 1898. The Canadian tar if act Of 1897, it will be remembered, provided a 121A per cent reduction of the customs duties levied upon goods from any country whose tariff should be as favorable to Canada as those of Canada to lother countries, and that after the expiration of one year an additional 12A per cent reduction should be made. The first reduction went into operation August 1, 1897, and was held to affect goods coming into Can da from Great Britain, Ge1- many, Belgium and several other coun- tries, thus giving to most Of the i'm ports coming into Canada an advantage of 121A per cent in rates of duty as against those from the United States, which were required to pay the full rates named in the new law.
 Additional legislation in 1898 so modified the act that the reduction of 20 per cent which was to take effect on August 1, 1898, is held to relate only to goods coming into Canada from the United Kingdom, Bermuda, British West Indies, British Guiana Or Eany other British colony or possession the customs tariff of which is on the whole as favorable to Canada as the British preferential tariff is to such colony or possession

SAYS WALTERS LIED
Sensational Testimony Be-
 fore Beef Inquiry.
Lieutenant SeWeII Says There Was no Canned Beef Aboard inc Tram sport on Which Walters Went 10 Porto Rico.

Washington, March 2.-There were several interesting developments in the beef court of inquiry today. It was a field day for the volunteer arm of the service, the waiting room being filled all day with members of the various volunteer regiments which served in Cuba and Porto Rico.
 The first of these, Clarence Walters. of the Firsc volunteer engineers, told sensational story of hardship and in humanity suffered during his service, describing the canned roast beef in harsher terms than have ever before been applied to that much dis cussed article. Asked what the experience with canned beef had been on the voyage of the transport to Porto Rico, he replied that the first can he saw opened had worms in it and a few minutes after being opened developed such a putrid odor that it was impossible to have it about He ate some of it and was made violently sick
 Later in the day Lieutenant Sewall, U. s. A, who was major of the volun- teer battalion in which Walters served, cCntradicted his story completely, say ing there was no canned roast beef aboard the transport which toCk the command to Porto Rico. Further than that, he said, Walters had come to him after landing and asked to be dis charged, so as to accept a position as a newspaper correspondent, and on be- ing questioned, said that he Rad been well treated while in the service and had no complaint to make.
 An important development was the denial of a story by one James Far nan, and also attributed to Dr. Max well Christine of Philadelphia, that they had seen beef injected with chem icals in an Omaha packing house. Dr. Christine explained that what he had seen was the pickling or corned meats, brine being injected into the meat to save several weeks time in the pick ling vat
