ease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem

COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.
COLUMBIA CREW
Hard Mt Work Training for Inter-
collegiate Boat Race.

NEW YORK, March Now that the mid
year examinations are past, the varsity and
freshmen crews of Columbia are hard at
work. The men have been rowing with sta
tionary seats, and in some cases, in order
to adapt the machine better to the man, ad-
ditional blocks have been placed upon these
stationary seats. This arrangement is the
result of DR.. Peet's belief that the boat
should be suited to the man and not the
man to the boat.
Last Tuesday the varsity took up the slide
work and the leg drive, and Saturday the
freshmen attempted it for the first time
the varsity candidates have done commend
able work. The time is exceedingly good,
the men catch well together and their elbow
work on the end of the stroke Is perfect
unison. In fact. the whole work is encour-
aging and approaches that uniformity at all
points which is part OF the Peet system.
, Tit, stroke of last years varsity, and
Meyer, No. 55iH last year freshman crews
have come out since the examinations and
are doing WELL The spirit which prevails
among the varsity men is praiseworthy. The
men are working earnestly, increasingly and
enthusiastically. -
Instructions in blade work to both varsity
and freshman candidates has been distinct
innovation in crew coaching at Columbia.
The new swimming tank has offered this op-
portunity. A rowing machine, equipped with
outriggers and thus holding the oar in the
water near the side of the tank, and capa-
Bile of being changed so that either port or
starboard oar may be used, is securely
clamped to the sides of the tank. Here Dr.
Peet coaches the individual in practical blade
work: BY means of this. arrangement all
ments of the work. Both crews have grasp
ed the ideas and are doing fairly well in this
branch of. the work.

VOLUNTEERS TESTIFY,
Majority Tell Court of Inquiry Cam
ned Roast Beef Was Bad.

Majority Tell Court of Inquiry Cam
ned Roast Beef Was Bad.
WASHINGTON, March 2. = There
were several interesting developments
in the beef court Of inquiry today. 1t
was 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 First volunteer engineers, told a
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 discussed
article.
Later in the day Lieut. Sewell, U. S.
A.. who was major of the volunteer
battalion in which Walters served,
contradicted his story completely, say
ing there was no canned roast beef
aboard the transport which took the
command to Porto Rico. Further than
that he said Walters had come to him
after landing and asked to be discharg-
ed so as to accept a position as news
paper correspondent, and on being
questioned said that he had been we'll
treated while in the service and had
no complaint to make.
An important development was the
denial of the story by one James Far
nam. 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 picklingo of corned beef
the brine being injected into the meat
to save several weeks time in the
picking vat.
The question of counsel for Gen.
Miles before the court Is still in abey-
ance, some correspondence having
passed between the general and the
court, but both sides decline to give out
the letters until a settlement is reach
ed.
Gen. Miles has not asked to be repre-
scented by counsel. presumably because
that would put him in the position Of
admitting himself on trial by the court,
which UP to date he has declined to do
On the other hand the court does not
feel able. under the articles Of war, to
permit Mai. Lee or any one else to
cross-question witnesses unless he can
be recognized officially as counsel for
the defense. 1t was stated that this
matter probably will be settled tomor-
row.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 2.-There
Is understood to be one of the greatest
deals on hand as affecting the inter-
ests of the Northwest that has yet
been accomplished. 1t is the building
of several new steamships, which will
be put on a line between Seattle and
the Orient by the Great Northern rail-
way company. This is supposed to be
the real significance of the present visit
to the sound Of President Hill and
other prominent officials.
It is the intention to run a service
direct from Seattle to Yokohama and
Hong Kong, with other vessels going
to Vladivostook. For this it will be
necessary to have at least six vessels
to give a monthly service. There will
be S10,000,000 spent on this enterprise,
most of which will go to purchasing
and building vessels. 1t is believed that
it will be at least year before the
line will be in operation.
