ALGER'S LEVIIY REBUKED.

Surrounded by his millionaire
friends and administration benefciaries
at Detroit, feasting upon the fat of the
land, slipping champagne and cracking
chestnuts. the secretary of war arose
to deliyer the impromptu speech he had
prepared before leaving Washington, in
the course of which he said:
Surprising the boys did get beef that
was spoiled down in Cuba. what of it?''
The New York branch of the Sons
Of the Revolution" have taken the mat
ter up. They tell him what of it,
They show him the difference between
Indignant patriotism and insolent par
tisanism. They have expressed their
contempt for him and their disgust at
his utterances in no uncertain tones.
In a resolution they declare that they
look with horror upon officials who
can express such sentiments, or who,
having the entire resources of this
wealthy country at command. not only
furnished our soldiers with a little
spoiled beef but gave them little else,
even in the home camps, where good
food in abundance was everywhere at
hand. and who also failed TO supply
them with suitable clothing, shelter and
medicine
Nobody expected the soldiers to es-
cape hardships. They counted on eX-
periencing necessary privations when
they enlisted. But it was the duty of
those in authority, having behind them
a willing people and the richest, most
resourceful country in the world. TO
make their hardships few and light,
and to relieve them of every privation
possible. What people deplore is a set
of ineompetents who permitted con-
tractors TO experiment on the army
and then try to laugh it off by saying,
What of it?'

VIEWS OF AARON JONES.
Indianian Thinks the Farmer Is Tn
fairly and InequitabIy Taxed.

WASHINGTON, March 1i-National
Grange Master Aaron Jones' of Indiana.
was before the industrial commission to-
day. He expressed the opinion that trans
portation was the important question with
which the farmer had 10 deal and he be-
leved rates should be made by an indie
pendent commission and that the railroad
companies should not be allowed TO
arbitrarily fix rates. He also asserted
that the trusts should be controlled and ex-
pressed the hope that the commission would
devise legislation 10 that end. He thought
our consuls abroad should interest them
selves in the agricultural products of the
country as much as I'm its manufacturing in
terests. Another reform suggested was the
lowering of the salaries of government Off
cials. Il remember" he said, when the
salaries Of congressman were increased from
5000 to $500. This increase was made on
the plea that the purchasing power of the
dollar had decreased. Now that there has
been an increase in the purchasing power
we hear OF no agitation for a reduction of
salaries" Mr.. Jones asserted that the
farmer Is unfairly and inequitably taxed
one-fourth TO one-third of the income of the
average farm in Indiana being necessary to
pay the taxes levied upon IT, He suggested
legislation looking to uniformity in taxation
in the different States. He was favorahle
10 uniform income tax, but opposed the
Inheritance tax. ON the question OF i'm
migration he said the Polanders were the
most nonassimilable OF all foreigners COM
ing TO this country. They insist upon main
tanning their own schools for the preserya-
tion Of their language and religion. He
there were 1,5O Polish children, not one of
whom attended the public schools.

FIENDISH AS LUETGERT
SAUsAGE-MAI<ER BECKER TELLS
HOW HE KILLED HIS WIFE,
Cut Her BODY Into Pieces, Boiled 1t
i'm n Kettle and burned the Resi-
due i'm Red-HOt stove.

CHICAGO, March H.-August A Becker,
the sausage maker who has been under ar
rest for four weeks on a charge of murder
ing his wife, made a full confession to-
night. He said that he cut his wife TO pieces
and burned the remains in a stove. Becker
when first arrested, admitted killing his
wife but declared he pushed her off the
Randolph-street viaduct into the lake and
that she was drowned. The police have
never placed any reliance in the drowning
confession, and have kept up their work
on the idea that Becker had killed the
woman in his house and made way with
the body. The finding of a portion of a
human lung three days ago in Beckers
barn put strength in their theory and late
tonight they induced Becker TO confess
In his confession Becker said he had killed
his wife by striking her on the head with a
hatchet in the kitchen of his home. He
then cut the body to pieces and boiled il in
a large kettle. After watching the dsinte-
grafton of the remains for several hours
and when nothing was left that resembled
human body, Becker says he took what
remained and burned it in n red-hot stove
the fire having been prepared by him. The
bones which would not burn he buried on
the prairie near his home.
January q was the date. Becker says, he
committed the murder He asserts the crime
was not premeditated but that he quarreled
with his wife on the afternoon of that day
and in the heat of passion he struck her on
the head with the hatchet. Only one blow
was needed to cause death and after that
had been struck the sausage maker says he
thought OF the way 10 dispose of the re-
mains of his wife in order TO destroy all
chances of detection. The piece of lung
and a portion of calico which were found
under the barn and which the police be-
lieved TO be strong evidence against Becker,
he says, could not be any part OF the body
of his wife as he is certain that he de-
stroyed every particle of flesh and he main
tains the dress which she wore was also
entirely burned. The police will look for
the woman's bones tomorrow. They re-
fuse To tell at present the location Of the
spot where Becker says they are buried

Santiago which says the people of Santiago

criticised by the Cuban Assembly for his ac-
tion in assisting in "a negotiation with Cen
eral Gomez for payment OF s3VN,OoO TO the
Cuban army.
Mr. Quesada gave out the following state
ment tonight: THE action of the Assembly
in deposing me is in line with its conduct
toward the faithful, unsullied patriot, Gen.
Maximo Gomez / do not care TO discuss II.
as the Assembly does not represent the
judicious sentiment of the Cuban people or
army Unmoved by any selfish interest, L
have devoted all my life TO the cause of the
independence of Cuba, and for four years
have tried NY best TO establish the basis OF
the most cordial relations between the
United States and Cuba. Sure of the deci-
sion of the Cubans and knowing well that
the Americans will not misjudge them from
these hasty and ill-advised acts of a dis
gruntled and ambitious group, L shall con-
tinue to work for the self-government, re-
construction and order of my native coun-
try
The dispatch received by Mr. Quesada
from Santiago is from Judge Sanchez, head
of the Supreme Court of Cuba. 1t is said
the course of the Assembly is the first move
in the formation of new political parties in

NEW BACTERIOLOGIST.
DR.. Hoffman Apo nted in Place of
DR.. Alvarez

The medical members of the Board
of Health were strongly in favor at
yesterdays meeting of filling the va
cancy caused by the resignation of DR..
Alvarez.
President Cooper said the only OBJ
lection was the doubt as to how long
the board would exist. If the United
States laws were extended to these
Islands all such matters as bacterio-
logical examinations and the eXamina-
ton and segregation of lepers would
be attended to by the national Govern
ment. He would be opposed to MAX
ing any contract with DR.. Hoffman or
anyone else for any definite time.
1t was finally arranged that DR..
Hoffman should be appointed from
August 10 to serve from month to
month
