has made himself persona non grata

ton to mower at this time has been
followed by acts which American resi-

State Department at the same time has
cablcd instructions to the United States
diplomatic representative at Bluefields
to lodge an energetic protest with the
Nicarauguan government against the
action Of General Torres and a disre-
gard of this protest will be followed up
by n more positive step on the part of
this government. In Costa Rica the
American business interests and resi-
dents are in trouble as n result OF an
discretionary movement. 1t is under
stood that the insurgents are levying
forced loans on them. besides collecting

Beef Court Of Inquiry to-day the letter
of Messrs. Armour & Co.. proposing to
use the Powell process for the preserva-
ton Of beef was submitted as evidence
by Major Lee. acting for General Miles.
1t was addressed to the commlssary
general, dated at the firms Washing
ton Office July 13. 1898. and read as
follows:
"As supplementary and explanatory
to our bid to supply dressed beef in
Cuba, We wish to say that we have the
exclusive control of the Powell process
for preserving fresh meats and that this
process has been tested at Tampa, Fla.
the test having been completed with
most satisfactory results.
This test was made under the SUI
pervislon of Colonel John Weston, of
your department, who has advised you
of the results. We are advised, how

duly refrigerated and treated according
to the Powell process.

The pieces that were not wrapped fer
mented In less than 72 hours. while the
pieces that were covered or wrapped,
kept about 100 hours.
These practical tests made under the
supervision of your own officer show
that by means of this process. wrapped
pieces OF carcasses can be kept longer
than the 72 hours required by your
specifications.
I'VE believe that we may safely cay
such results have never before been
accomplished in the history of the fresh
meat business. In view of the tests
which We have made in the past and
OF the result OF the tests made under

We believe that we are absolutely safe

the protection of American interests in
that quarter. On the way she Will touch

The testimony began to-day with DR..

Cuba, and testified that the command
was attacked with .diarrhoea to tho

the issue OF the beef be stopped. This

THE LETTING OF CONTRACTS.
Mr.. William a. deCaindry, who has
been chief clerk In the office OF the
Commissary General of the War De-
partment for twenty years. related his
connection with the work of letting the
beef contracts. At the instance OF Gen
eral Eagan he had first sent out 40 or
81 teiegrams to dealers in beef, asking
for bids to supply refrigerated beef or
for beef on the block, General EaEan
having supplied the form.
Mr.. deCaindry had been instructed
by General Eagan to prepare the orig
inal draft Of the contract for the beef
supply, and after some re-arranging,
submitted draft feeling confident
that 1t was complete. It was then that
men whom he understood to be repre-
sentatives OF Swift and Company.
brought up the question as to the
length OF time the beef should keen

containing the "a hour clause were
brought to him by Captain Davis. As

the revisions General Eagan had inter
lined in his own handwriting a clause
referring to the time reading as fol-

hours from the time OF storing the same
in such refrigerators." This clause Mfr.

The Public schools.

The Sentinel last week, in au article of
more than column in length in defence of
the Republican School Board for erecting q
new school building ia Westminster when the
old one could have been made ample for less
than one-fourth of the money expended, I'M
dertook to give some school history. 1t was
mostly rehash of what Gov. Lowndes had
previously said, and of course was wrong.
We do not propose to follow the Sentinel $
verbiage, but if it wants some school history
it can find it in the last report on the schools
in Carroll before the Democrats took charge.
]. II. Christ, was President of the Board of
School Commissioners In his report for
1866 he said
s'The larger portion of the school houses in
the county are unfit for any civilized man to
teach in, and the furniture is in a worse con
dition than even the houses themselves. In
these old buildings, with benches without
backs, and desks of pine boards extending
around the sides, fifty or sixty children are
compelled to spend the day, crowded so
thickly that comfort is entirely out of the
question. Perhaps one;fol1th of our houses
might be made to answer the purposes for
which they were intended, but the rest are
mere apologies for school houses; and yet, bad
as they are, the most of them are claimed to
have been built by the citizens of the respec-
tive districts for their own uses, and have
never been decided to the county. Before we
can accomplish much we will be compelled
TO build new houses in the majority of the
school districts. Some OF the
schools were kept open six months in the
year: others two, three and four months =
