cago Next Week.
CAPTAIN PIPER A WITNESS.
Declares There Was Little Complaint
Against Canned Roast Beef, but
That the Men Complained
of Native Meat.

Washington, Feb. "a. - The work of
the court of inquiry in Washington will
be finished for the time being about the
middle of next week. when the court
will adjourn to Chicago to look over the
packing industry in that city and ex-
anime such witnesses as may be most
conveniently reached at that point.
From Chicago the court will proceed to
Omaha. Whether their duties will car
ry the members elsewhere before re-
turning to Washington will depend on
future developments.
Former Commissary General Charles
p. 1Cagan was expected to be the first
witness of the day before the beef in

his successor, Colonel j. F. Weston.
Captain Alexander r. Piper of the sub
sistence department of volunteers was
called. He was assigned as commissary
of the Second brigade, First army corps,
embarking with General Brookes expe-
diton for Porto Rico.
He said that in Porto Rico beef on the
hoof native cattle, in connection with
canned corned and roast beef, was is
sued. Native beef was issued, he
thought. five days out Of ten until Aug
II, after which, under instructions Of
Colonel Sharp, corps commssary. he
drew refrigerated beef. from the Massa-
chusetts
Tells of Gor,plaints.
Some complaint ;aganst the canned

No action was taken. The men COM

fresh. It was slaughtered, he said, be
tween sundown ana midnight and is
sued early ir the mvrning.
Native butchers Furnished them un-
der contract and they were required
to be neither oxen nor milk cows. There

spection and slaughter regulations.
When the Massachusetts left, about
Aug. 90, native cattle We're used again

!. clared, THE men did not leave even the

Captain Piper then detailed the meth

He said that the animal heat never left

knew the majority of sentiment of the

a bullet through YOU" He then made
his way through the mob into the school
house. moving the revolver from side
to side and the crowd swayed back and
forth with its motion like a magnet.
Mr.. Graves reached his destination safely
but his face was very pale and he Was
heard to make the oft repeated sta'' :

Mr.. Hoar who was inside all the time
did not realize that there was anything

The following anecdote illustrates
the Prince of Wales sense of humor
as well as his preference for short ser
mons when at church. A Scotch par
son went to Balmoral by special com
mand to preach before her majesty.
Naturally he was overcome with ner-
vousness. He was waiting for lunch
con after service, when, greatly to his
surprise. he was informed the Prince
wished to see him. Shaking hands with
him warmly, his royal highness thank
ed him heartily for his sermon, espe-
