70 FIX THE RESPONSIBILITY.
The Board of Survey to Enquire Into the
Loss OF Swift . Co. Re-
frigerator Beef.

Washington, Jan. HThe board of
survey appointed by The secretary OF
war to examine into and report upon
the responsibility forithe loss of 300,-
600 pounds of refrigerated beef OF
Swift & Co., which WAS rejected by
Gen. Miles upon its arrival at Ponce,
Porto Rico. and Nas subsequently
thrown overheard while en- route on
the return voyage, met yesterday, but
decided that inasmuch as the proceed
ings of q board of survey were sub
ject to review they would no be made
public.
The board is instructed to ascertain
if proper effort was made to feed this
beef to the troops in Porto Rico. and
fix the responsibility in case proper eff
fort was not made; to ascertain
whether, as reported in the testimony
I before the war commission, the beef
had been chemically treated and
whether the United States was re-
| sponsible for its loss, which involves
a recommendation as to whether Swift
d Co. should be reimbursed.
\ board of survey has no power TO
administer oaths. 1t can only find on
information and recommend, subject
to review of the appointing officers. in
this case, Secretary OF War Alger. The
board Will investigate the questions
with which they are charged. They in
innate that the proceedings are not of
great Importance, in reality only in
volving Il recommendation as to
, whether Swift & Co. should be paid for
the beef. Such a recommendation.
however, necessarily involves the fix
ing of the responsibility for the rejec-
ton of the beef.
The board decided to go into the in
vestigation eNhaustively. All the rec
ords will be carefully examined, wit
nesses will be summoned and wherever
possible afiidavits will be obtained in
support of testimony. The board has
no power to administer oathS and af-
fidavits, therefore testimony must be
, voluntary.
Representatives of the Swift COM
pany. undoubtedly Will be summoned,
as will Gen. Miles and other army Of
ticers conversant with the facts, but,
up to a late hour this afternoon no
summons, so far as could be learned,
had reached Gen. Miles. The general
OF the army is very complacent over
the matter.
The 100000 pounds of refrigerated
beef arrived at Ponce the very day the
protocol was signed. This amount of
fresh meat, it is stated, would have
furnished rations Tor the American
troops then on the island for 80 days
But. it is added. had it been landed it
could not have been kept. There was
barely enough ice in Ponce to supply
the hospitals. Our troops, save about
1000 men, were scattered throughout
the southern portion of the island
from Maya"uez to Guayana, distances
varying from % to 90 miles. Had the
beef been landed almost the entire
quantity, the general of the army
holds. must inevitably have spoiled.
1t is believed the work of the board
will consume the greater portion of
two weeks, possibly longer.

WHITE MEN TOO SALTY.

II don't suppose that there are many
men in Chicago, if any. who can say
they have seen and talked to a cannibal

so. and the occasion WAS one of interest
to me and one ] will never forget
The speaker WAS Father GalliRan. the
~Well-knoWn pastor of s.. Patrick's
church, on the West Side. and he was
talking to a few friends on the subject
of his travels in lands strange to the or
binary run of tourists.

For Mountain and Wheel.
Abe ENC GIRL WILL CLINE ALL THE FALL AND RIDE ALL.
WINTER IN THE SAME DREss-NOTHING BETTER
l.. k-- THAN CHEVIOT.

Paris, Aug. 30.-There is a marked
change in the design of this years noun
tain gowns, a trifling change in the col
ors perhaps, but the materials themselves
remain the same in warp and weave.
Nothing can be substituted satisfactorily
for the stout English %cheviots, home
spuns n tweeds.
Occasionally one does see a mountain
gown made of lighter materials but they
aye invariably gov designed for pos
eurs,' who in reality have no idea of
climbing rocky heights n encountering
rambl patches.
The practical Ountai gowns exhibit
ed just now at the tailors are a happy
combination of comfort n chic. Every
thing about these up-to-date outing toll
cites from the soles of the stout shoes to
the crown Of the Alpine hat, suggests
durability, and yet there is nothing un-
pleasantly severe about them.
The models made with jackets or coats
are in the majority, still there are a
number that are attractively designed
with blouses. There is not so much braid
being used this year but stitching is en-
ployed lavishly instead. These dresses
can be WORT wheeling as we'll as climb
ing.
A gown made with a modish blouse
was of wood brown cheviot. The skirt
that was shoe-top length. fitted close
over the hips, and boosted quite a flare
at the bottom. 1t fastened at the left
side. where there was a narrow panel or
the cheviot closely braided with sOutache.
Two rounding revers, stitched closely,
bordered the whole length of the panel.
The blouse was mad will a long yoke
of the cheviot braided closely like the
panel. From the yoke, the material was
put on iL. narrow overlapping stitched
panels. that formed shor basques. The
sleeves We're close fitting and finished at
the hand with several rows of the SOU
tache.
The suede belt and cravat Worn with
thisg gown We're of a rather subdued shade
Of leaf green.
Dame Fashion has laid down no arbi-
trary rule about the length of an outing
gown for the mountains, it largely de-
ponds on ones taste and footwear. There
are some crack climbers among the wo-
men folk who prefer thick-soled ties and
stout stockings for walking, as the ankl
then has a freer movement. Others de-
pend on the supper of knee-length laced
boots. No matter what the length Of the
gown may be. close fitting knickerbock-
ers made of the same material as the
skirt are found most convenient. These
are fitted most carefully around the hips
so that the skirt itself is more success
fully adjusted and fitted by the tailor.
A gown designed for a young girl of
sixteen was made of confederate gray
cheyiot. The skirt, which was close
tai OYER the hips. was made with two
hrood box plaits covering the seams of
the apron. Under the left plat. the skirt
opened. 1t was finished around the bot
ton with several rows of stitching.

tefnoon tea, even on these long tramps
far removed from the household kitchen.
Just a word in emphasis of the utility
OF these outing cases. A whole chapter
might be written upon elegant cases for
the mountain girl and then their glories
would only be half sung. The most fash
ionable shape is that which comes about
eighteen inches long by six or eight wide.
The material used are elephant, alligator,
monkey and goa among the expensive
SKINS; with morocco taking the lead in
the elegant feathers. The clasps and ex-
terror appointments of the cases are
MADE OF silver, plain or elegantly carved,
to suit the taste and purse of the owner.
On one side of the case is a silver plate
with the family coat of arms engraved
upon 1t. n on the other side there is
another plate, similar theta1om,g ornfnn
which is displayed the armorial ensign.
engraved with the monogram.
The interior of the cases are divided
into several compartments into which are
placed the miniature alcoho! stove above
referred to, a comb and brush, a whjsk

broom. a small drinking cup, toilet
creams powders. implements for
m%lnicuring and the little bit of chamois
which is not to be discarded by any wo-
man who is careful of her cOmpleXion.
For the dark skins and feathers a bright
scarlet satin lining is used. but for the
hight browns and sreenish-gray cases
lettuce green. pink and pale blue are gem
orally favored.
The price of these outing cases? They
are indeed expensive. ranging in price
anywhere fro,A ten to thirty dollars: but
but women of ashton must spend a GER
tain amount upon their athletic outfits.
and if the gowns are to be more simply
constructed so that their cost will be re-
duced. the surplus must be invested in
the fads and fancies which are a part Of
the paTaphernalia of their mountain eX-
cursions. NINA GOODWIN.

with a triple cape collar that was finish

RIBBON around the crown and a iaunty

There is something exceedingly sv,o-
sel ABOUT the very latest lone Jackets
.hat the ta1lors are adopting for outing
so"hs. Just now there is a marked pref
erence for either the very long tacket
that seems almost like a feminine var-
sion or the swallow tail coat, or the eton
shape. The half way lengths have fallen
mo dls1aVor. along with the usual don
fects. :
1t is quite often that one sees tennis
GOWNS yachting gowns and golf gowns
colnDlnlng two materials, but for the
most part, the gowns designed for mo,n-
tam climbing have their skirts and lack
cts made OF the same material.
A gown that was an exception to this
RUE mad a skirt of homespun in tiny
broken checks of green and tan. It was
maze close hitting over the hips and fast
II directly at the 'front.'. where the
seam was strapped. The stitched band
continued around the bottom of the skirt.
Inc Jacket was a long affair of tan
covert cloth, savoring very much of the
masculine "cutaway.' 1t fastened a fri
lie over to the left side with a single row
of very small green bone buttons ar
ranged in threes. The revers of the
cloth were small and stitched heavily and
the edges OF the Jacket weqre strapped.
Narrow stitched cuffs gave a finish TO
the close fitting sleeves.

oockers Of the same We're Worn with this

a Jaunty original air about it. 1t was a
soft white felt of Tyrolean shape
trimmed around the crown with a mar
row band of white ribbon and a bushv
squirrel tail dangling over the left side.
The newest outing cases to be slung
over the shoulder and taken around on
these tramps, have a tiny little alcohol
stove that is furnished with a porous
stone capable of absorbing enough alco-
mol to keep the stove going for forty min
utes. 1t can easily be carried around in
the pocket, so that one need not neces-
sarlly forego ones cup of refreshing at
