been preferable to refrigerated beef, but

NOTHING NEW DEVELOPED
Canned Roast Beef Vas Generally Con-
demned by Officers and Men.
CHARGES OF CHEMICAL TREATMENT
Were Not Entered Into Specifically, as
twas Determined to Allow Pack
ing Housesa Representative
Before the Court.

Washington, February 22.-Today-s pro-
ceedings of the investigation by the court
of inquiry developed nothing new. The
testimony, with the exception Of that of
DIR. DAILY, surgeon on the staff of Gen.
Miles during the war, and of Col Wood
ruff, assistant commssary general, was
generally in line with that of yesterday.
The canned roast beef was generally con-
demned as unsatisfactory, while the re-
frigerated beef was commended. the chief
complaint being that 1t often decomposed
en- route to camp.
The testimony of representatives of the
subsistence department was begun, that of
Col. Woodruff, assistant commissary gen.
eral, being one of the most notable. He
purchased more than 100000 pounds of
canned beef and told of the method of
purchase and the reasons that prompted
II. He took issue with Gen. Miles conten-
ton that beef on the hoof was the usual
source of fresh meat supply to the army.
One feature of the day was the introduce
tion of Dr. DAILY, who charged beef or
the war commission that refrigerated beef
at Chickamauga, Jacksonville, Tampa and
In Porto Rico had been treated chemically.
He was not examined, however, in regard
to this charge, Col. Davis announcing that
the contractors who were attacked were
entitled to be notified of the examination
upon this point that they might have am
pie time in which to appear should they
decide to do so. The law required this. he
said. Accordingly DR.. DAILY was excused
after partial examination and will be re-
called later.

Academy and Phillips Andover, and was
graduated from Yale college in 1853.
He fitted for the ministry at Andover
theological seminary, and then spenttwo
and one.half years abroad studying and
travelling in Europe and Palestine.
Returning to his native town on Jan.
/, 1868, he was ordained pastor of the
First Congregational church of st. Johns
burv Center. Here he occupied
a coy home by the banks OF the
Passumpsic and labored successfully
for six years.
On Ian. 80, 1874, he was installed pas
tor of the South Congregational church
OF St. Johnsbury, succeeding Key. Dr. ~
O. Brastow, now member OF the faculty
of Yale divinity school. With one ex-
ception, this is the longest active Congre
gational pastorate in the state.
DR.. Fairbanks married on July 9, 1867,
Emma Cornelia, daughter OF Guy e.
and Sally M. Taplin Of Montpelier.
Though an invalid for many years, her
loving interest in the South church and
in home life has been source OF strength
to the pastor in all his labors. Their
only child, Correlia Taylor, is student
at Mt. Holyoke college.
DR.. Fairbanks is intensely loyal to st.
Johnsbury and all that pertains to her
welfare. The charge of the Athenaum
has naturally fallen to him and the IL
brary and art gallery could not have
fallen into better hands. He is a great
student oil nature and animal life, and so
it is equally fitting that he should be the
president of the Fairbanks museum OF
natural science. He has responsible
part in the management of st. Johnsbury
Academy, being secretary and treasurer
of the corporation.
He has always been interested in the
early history of the town, and when the
town celebrated, about decade ago, its
centennial he was the natural historian
of the day.
He possesses so many fine traits OF
character that he is loved by young and
old. His modest manner charms ALL and
coupled with a fine literary taste and
great originality is keen sense of humor
which pervades all his sermons and
greatly adds to their efficacy. He has
never taken any public office, though
always on hand at all political gatherings,
and is foremost in all movements looking
toward the welfare of his native town.

Granted the Injunction.

The case of r. l.. Day and Others
against the St. Johnsbury and Lake
Champlain railroad, the board of rail-
road commissioners and certain state
attorneys in the counties through which
the railroad runs, came up before Judge
Hoyt H. Wheeler in the United States
circuit court at Brattlcboro Friday.
The orators asked for temporary injunc-
tons restraining the defendant company
from selling mileage books at the rate OF
two cents mile, books good to bearer,
pursuant to the provisions OF the
statute passed by the last legisature
| the board of railroad commissioners
from enforcing the statute, and the state
attorneys from collecting the penalties
provided for in the case of failure OF the
company to comply with the law. The
court granted the I'M junction against the
railroad company, but refused to grant
the temporary injunction against the
railroad commissioners and state attor-
neys.
The petitioners were represented by
John Young of Newport, the Lake road
by Harry Blodgett of St. Johnsbury and
the states attorneys by It.. Gov. Bates.
Judge Wheeler held, in accordance with
decision handed down by the supreme
court Of the United States, that in cases
of this kind where the constitutionality
of statute is involved, the United
States courts cannot grant a temporary
injunction against stale officials restrain
ing them from proceeding hereunder.
He intimated that il state officials in
cases like this attempt to force statute
against person or corporation, against
whom an injunction has been issued en-.
, joining such person or corporation from
complying with such statute, the remedy
is by habeas corpus or plea in bar.
Judge Wheeler's decision leaves the
case in rather peculiar condition and
= the situation is thus explained by Chair
S man D. J. Foster of the railroad com
: mission in an interview in the Burling
e ton Free Press
/ There will probably be nothing done,

The nomination OF Mr.. T. F. Lansing
TO the office OF Senator is an excellent
one. Mr.. Lansing knows the country
and the people. He IS a good citizen
and that means that he ought TO be
a good representative. He has made an
excellent record as a member Of the
Board OF Health. While he has en-
dersed the last platform OF the Amer
lean Union party, that contained a
heartfelt tribute to. the present gov
eminent, and opposes Asiatic immigra-
ton with trumpet tones, he doubtless
feels that it is only the repetition OF
an elastic political ritual, which I'M
scrupulous moralists should not ex-
pose. At any rate he ought TO make
