Alger's Indorsement of the Drainage ca
nnl Gives Great Ofense.

st. Louis, May S.-The reported in
iorsement of the Chicago drainage ca
nal by Secretary Alger has aroused the
wrath of the st. Louis commissioners
Pesident McMath, of the boad of public
Improvements. a member of the commits
sion, said: IF the newspaper accounts
be correct, General Alger has made a
consummate fool of himself. Just think
of a man full of good things to eat
standing on the bridge over the canal
at Willow Springs. and. looking into the
air, exclaiming: oh, it is great; it is
great
HE says the engineers tell him that
it would take two years for a water flow
of 10000 cubic feet a minute to lower
Lake Michigan six inches. What en-
gineers told him that? The government
engineers do not, for they oppose the
farce. Well, whoever saiSsit is liar;
but what's the difference"if it took five
years? When six inches is gone the
harbors will be unable to take cargoes
as largo, and your profit is gone in that
six inches of water. Other members
of the commission were equally vigorous
in their denunciation of Secretary Alger
and the drainage scheme.

cent New York Marriage

Baltimore. May S.-Cardinal Gibbons.
in the course of his sermon at the
cathedral yesterday on the unity of the
church, characterized the recent di-
vorce and marriage of a society lady
in New York a crime against Christ.
He said: Consider the pontiff in rela-
ton to King Henry VIII, who asked for
the pope's sanction to divorce so that
he might marry again. The pope re-
fused to give it, saying Whom God hath
Joined together let not man put as
under Only a few days ago the coun-
try was shocked at a woman in high life
who was divorced at 3 O'Clock and mar
ried again almost before the ink was
dry on the divorce papers. This is crime
against the law of Jesus Christ.
THE church is one in its teachings.
1t is the same in France, England
Italy. San Francisco, on the Pacific, and
New York. on the Atlantic. All pro-
claim the same doctrine. one faith. one
hope, one baptism and one Lord"

ABOUT NEWSPAPER INTERVIEWS.
Gen. Miles Issue of yeracity with the Re-
porters-Dr. Daly's Charges.

The charges of General Miles. as made
in newspaper interviews, well as
those made before the war investigat-
ing commission are referred to at
length, among them being the interview
with the general sent out from the
New York office of the Associated Press
on the 3Ist of January. in which Gem
eral Miles was quoted as saying that he
had Overwhelming evidence that the
beef was treated with chemicals to pre-
serve it and that he had affidavits from
men who saw tbe beef undergoing the
srilbalming process" The court notes
the denial which General Miles made of
this part of the conversation as it was
printed in the New York Herald, but
refers TO the testimony ''of both Mr.
Reid and Mr.. Berry, of the New York
Times, agreeing to the verify OF the
interview as reported
Summing up the results OF the inves-
legations of the chemists employed by
the court the court says: The con-
tents of all the cases, which consisted
of boiled rather than roast beef. were
found to be perfectly sweet, with an
odor of cooked meat. The beef in nearly
all the cans appeared to have been
softened by exposure to heat, but ap-
parentIy without injurious effect as to
tive acids were found in any of the
cans There is no testimony to
the effect that any of the canned fresh
beef supplied to the subsistence depart
ment since April %, 1898, had been
chemically treated or subjected to the
action of preservatives of any kind
Referring to DR.. Days testimony the
court says: The testimony shows that
the beef treated by the Powell process,
which was declared by DR.. Daily to con-
tain boric and salicyIc acids was. in
fact, treated by fumigation and the
materials employed contained neither
boric nor salicylic acid. The beef from
which the broth was made on the
Panama has not been positively identi-
fled refrigerated beef and the con-
nection between the reSiduum of the
sample taken from the ship cauldron
and that analyZed by DR.. Clark has not
been established to the satisfaction of
the court"
a chapter of the report is devoted to
. the consideration of the cause of the
sickness in the army in the Santiago
campaign. but the court finds it inn
canned fresh beef or refrigerated beef
appeared to any appreciable extent as
causes of intestinal di. sase."
General Miles. when asked whether
he had any comment to make upon the
beef report. replied that he had read it

about the report, the method of testi-
mony or the conclusions reached"
