G"mpers Before Industrial Commissi"D.
WASHINGTON, April 10. - Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation OF Labor, was the principal
witness before the industrial commits
sion yesterday. Mr.. Gompers' state.
ment touched chiefly on the trades
union "defense fund" methods of or.
ganization, the general theory Of strikes,
the incorporation of trades unions and
the use of the boycott. He said the de.
fense fund was the greatest safeguard
of the trades union. The boycott. Mr..
Gompers declared, was not legal, but
an inherent right, which had been ex.
crcised under varying names from time
immemorial. He considered it useful
and legitimate weapon of labor.

VERDICT IN BEEF CASE.
Wade Court Of Inquiry Franz
ing Its Report.
PACKERS SAID TO BE SAFE.

Believed That General Miles Charge
That tho Bs1f W.. e NIB ,lned VIII Not
no sustained d-C.nned Meat to Bs De-
elared Wholesome aud y Good Ration.
Hearing the L ast Testimony.
WASHINGTON. April l9.-The army
court of inquiry has begun the fram.
tng OF its report. While q few
minor matters remain for exam
ination, they are not such ~
as to affect the main facts. It is 70.
garded as certain that the court will
find that General Miles charge that EN-.
balmed or chemically prepared beef was
sent to the army has not been sus-
tained. The position of the court is be.
ieved to be that the testimony is con-
elusive that both the refrigerated aud
the canned beef were in good condition
when delivered to the government and
continued so until issued to the troops,
except that portion damaged in trans.
portation or affected by tropical condi.
tions, and to these causes of injury and
these conditions the chief cause Of
trouble will bs attributed, It will be
shown that the refrigerated beef
after being taken from the
ice in the tropical climate spoils quickly
unless well cared for. and that the
canned beef after beng opened. be.
cause Of the great heat, becomes repul.
sive in appearance and soon unpalat-
able. But the court will hold as the re-
sult of chemical investigations bv the
experts that the canned beef is whole.
some and nutritious. Attention will be
called to the fact that it was used
throughout the war by our navy and is
still used by the feet. 1t is believed
the court will criticise those officers who
testified that they became aware that
bad beef was issued to the troops and
failed to report their observations unit
af,er the war had closed.

spiru,y, Nov II. 1875. that the sen.

up the all CATION that Senator Quay
had borrowed $lS5. 900 during the

WASHINGTON, April l9.-The capture
of the Yorktown's men was discussed
with much feeling in naval circles. The
misfortune was felt with added keen.
ness, as the navy has prided itself thus
far on immunity from reverses. The
adnliral's dispatch of yesterday was the
first knowledge the department had
that the Yorktown had gone on this spe.
cial mission to relieve the Spanish gar
rison at Baler. That the canture should
have benn effected while the American
forces were, on mission of mercy to.
ward the Spaniards, rather than in the
prosecution OF q campaign, led to the be-
Ii, T that Spain would have no further
ground for questioning the good faith
with which the Americans were seeking
to relieve tho condition of the Spanish
prisoners.
Although the dispatch gave no indica.
tica thsc Lieutenant Gilmore and his
men had lost their lives, yet great anx'
{ ipty was felt by the mystery surround
ing their fate. while in the hands OF an
uncivil,zed enemy. This is the frs
capture Of any Americans, military O
naval, SO that it is unknown how the
Insurgents will tr AIT our man. II civil
lied methods were pursued an exchange
could be quickly effected, as Generl
Otis ha, large number OF Filipino

averse thus far to exchanging s anist

to what they will do with the York
