written to the Due d'Orleans since the end
Of 1S.S, when he declined the latter's invi-

seized among the papers of Andree Buffet
cne of the persons recently placed on trial
before the senate, sitting a high court

The desire for stimdlants of some
kind, and a knowledge of their bene-
fetal action when used in moderation,
seems to be instructive in all but tho
very lowest races Of mankind.
At first sight it would seem that the
MOslem races would form an exception
to this rule. but that is not the case.
AS a matter of religious discipline
they abstain from alcohol, but in cof-
fee and opium they have stimulants
better suited to inhabitants of hot
countries than alcohol. The same may
be said of the iindoos, and the large
numbers of Mongols who take no alco-
hol. These races are in about the third
rank of civilization.
In the first two ranks, not only is
there no race which uses no stimulants.
but it is a fact that the complexity and
variety of stimulants used increases d.
rectly with the development of civili-
cation

Washington, d. c., Jan. 25.-Major
w. II. DAILY, who was chief surgeon
on the staff of General Miles in Porto
Rico, gave some strong testimony be-
fore the War Investigating Commits
sion. in support of the charges made by
General Miles that the troop, were fed
with chemically prepared beef. Major
DAILY is the officer quoted by the army
commander as saying that the beef had
the odor of an embalmed human body.
The Commissioners questioned Major
DAILY closely, but he did not break down
IN his testimony His manner through
out was that of one who carefully pre-
pared himself. If his statements are
correct, there was more chemically
prepared beef sent to the troops than
the so.called Powell process beef, of
which there was admittedly but small
quantity and none of that went to
Porto Rico.
According to Major DAILY, some of
the refrigerated beef sent to Porto
Rico was evidently treated with what
he pronounced on chemical test to be
boracic acid and salicylic acid, and
was, ne said, very injurious to health.
He made some beef tea from this beef,
and has Il quantity which is to be
chemically examined before the COM
mission by Major Daily and Professor

the hands of the Democrats. If
they stand firmly by candidate of
their own party the deadlock will con-
