thought that when the work of search
ing the ruins OF the burned Windsor no

| dead may be so.
The number Of missing. independent

80. The number of employees In the no

accurately determined. because Pro-
prietor Leland knows neither, the num-

said. however. that perhaps IL were
there on Friday afternoon. but that the
number was probably larger.
AS far as has been learned from the
employees who did escape. not one of
the scrubwomen was seen to escape.
Their room was in the rear Of the top
floor. and their only means Of escape
from the flames was the servants stair
way. This was one Of the first pas
sages to be choked with fire.
The remains Of eight bodies have so
far been recovered from the ruins. MAX
Ing the list of known dead IS 80 far. In
the night many bones and charred frag-
ments of flesh were found scattered
about, but from them no definite idea
of how many dead they represented
could be had. The police say that the
fragments belong to no less than five
bodies, but they have no means of prov
ing this, and the physicians from the
board of health who examined the frag-
ments said that they could form no idea
of the number of bodies they represent
ed.
The list of dead now given out by the
police is as follows: John Connolly,

last sought an extension of the French
settlement in Shanghai. The granting
Of the new concession by China was
vigorously opposed by the British and
American ministers. France obtained
her original settlement in Shanghai in
1853. The American and British settle
ments were united in 1853, but the
French settlement has repeatedly re-
fused to Join them
The interference of France in the ex-
tension and general settlement of
Shanghai led to the calling OF joint
meeting of the American and British
associations. at which resolutions were
adopted advocating joint action by the
American and British governments to
prevent further concessions to France.

A BellbOy's Testimony.

David A. Fleischman testified that he
was employed as bellboy at the Hote
: Morrison, Chicago, during the month OF
June 1898. "One day in June" he said
! "a gentleman in room 131 asked me
If would be at leisure to go to the
stockyards with him. / went out there
! with him and had to carry two boxes
! tin or galvanized iron boxes.
He went out to see some man about
some meat. he told me. We took the
boxes and went to car where there
were three or four rows of meat In
each of the boxes there We're four small
err packages. containing, as recall it. a
black or rather light gray colored sub
stance. He put this into perforated
trays made for that purpose, set fire to
it and placed it under the meat.
II asked him what that was done for,
and he said it was done as an expert
ment to preserve the meat Next day
I was to go back and get the cans. l
asked him whether it was to kill germs
or anything like that, but he said. No;
simply to preserve the meat
Il put my finger on the meat and
tasted it. and it burned the end Of my
tongue. / called attention to the fact
that the meat looked rather larger than
when We were there before. He said
that was simply an enlargement of the
meat from the ice. There was a sui
phurous smell in the car and another
odor which I cannot describe. l took
the cans to the hotel"
DR.. f. e. Murdoch, who was for two
years president of the auxiliary medical
staff in the Chicago health department
and is an analytical chemist, was the
next witness. He stated that he had
made several examinations of both
canned and refrigerated beef, dating
back several years. Some time in the
latter part of June, 1885, he said, some
canned meat was brought to him to
determine its character. The first SAM
pie was brought with the assertion that
1t was horse flesh, hut on examination
this was found to be untrue.
The witness found that the meat in
the can was apparently boiled beef. 1t
probably had been boiled somewhat be-
'ore it was sealed in the can and some
What after. There was in the can quite
quantity of common salt and also
nitrate of potash, called saltpeter.

BEEF COURTS WORK.
Cavalry officer Tells About Meat For
Troops In Florida.
A PRESERVING EXPERIMENT
David Fleischmann Testihes ms Ia
Some Occurrences In the Chica-
go StOckyards Last Summer.
Meat Burned His Tongue.

Chicago, March 23.-The court OF In
auiry investigating army beef examined
Lieutenant ]. ID. L. Hartman or the
First cavalry, who was acting regi-
mental quartermaster while the regi-
ment was stationed at Lakeland, Fla
He testified that refrigerated beef was
received from Armour G. Co. 1t was
brought to Lakeland in cars. At first IT
was very good, and there was no objec-
ton to it, but in three or four days II
began to get poorer in quality.
In two instances board OF survey
rejected the beef. In one case the wit
ness rejected whole carload. The
stencil was observable before the car
was opened. The beef was not received,
because decomposition had set in.
The rejected beef was not accounted
Tor in the vouchers. He had no recol-
lection of any conversation between
Sergeant Mason, his clerk, and the rep
resentative of Armour & Co. Mason
had charge of the delivery of the meat
to troops.
The witness had no recollection of
saying anything to him with reference
to meat preservatives. If he had said
anything. witness would recollect it.
He had no recollection of any CONVERSE
ton with Armour's representative on
that subject
He had no reason to believe or sus-
pect that the beef had been treated with
personalities or chemicals. The spoil
ing was due, he thought, to the fact
that the meat had been chilled and
would not hold up after exposure to the
excessive heat at Lakeland
After the rejection of a carload one
agent of Armour said that would not
do. referring to the way in which the
meat had been furnished. The agent
tried to get the meat shipped in ice.
In some cases ice was put in with the
beef, but this gave the meat a Shiny. re-
pulsive appearance. and it was rejected,
Witness then got authority to buy beef
in the open market.
