Tt requires no acute observer to dis.
cover that Dreyfus, the victim Of the
follest conspiracy ever conceived, is
not being given a fair, trial. The re-
fusal Of the court to adjourn when his
counsel was stricken down by an as
ssassin, shows clearly enough which
|: way the,.wind blows But, whether he
is fairly tried or not, one thing is GER
tain, and that is, that the French peo-
pie are wide awake, and sooner or lat
er justice will be meted out in spite
Of the French army and all the inhu-
man plotters.s For the epaulettedi cons
sEpirators, from first to last, there is
a day of retribution, and when it
ponies, there will. be such an. accounting
as even the people of France have
never witnessed. It is not Dreyfus
alone that is on trial. Militaris,n,

DUE TO CHEMICALS.
Discoloration of Army Beef Explained
by Armour's Agent

Washington, April 10.-The army
court Of beef inquiry resumed its ses-
siOns at 10 o'clock today with Rear Ad-
miral John G. Walker, president of the
Nicaragua canal commission on the
stand He said that canned roast beef
had been used by the commissions sur
veying parties on the isthmus. He
added that the men did not like this
meat, preferring bacon and the fresh
native beef, but that while this was
true the canned beef had not been found
unwhOlesome- If Quitting a large eX-
petition to the tropics he would include
some of the canned beef as a ration but
not very much of it.
Dr. Charles H Castle. an assignment
surgeon of the First Ohio cavalry for
time brigade surgeon and one of the
men whose name was given by. Lieut.
CAMPER, IS being present at Lakeland.
Fla, when Mr.. MorehouSe, agent for
Armour & Co, said that their beef had
been chemically treated, said that on
two occasions he had found the meat
spoiled after it had passed inspection
On the 18th of August he had met the
Armour agent. his name he did not
know, in the presence of Captain Car
michael and Lieut.. CAMPER at the
commiSsary depot. On this occasion
Dr. Castle had called the attention of
the agent to some discoIoratiOns of a
greenish character on the meat when
the agent had replied: The dfscoIora-
ton is due to some chemical with which
the beef was treated upon being put
in the refrigerator
I asked him what the formula was"
continued DR.. Castle. but he replied
that he did not knOw-that the formula
was unknown to him.
Dr. Castle identified a letter he had
addressed to the chief comrnissary at
Tampa on the 3rd of August last ask
ing that he be allowed to purchase beef
at Lakeland and not compelled to re-
ceiye the beef shipped in because of
the frequent cOndemnations of the re-
frlgeratOr beef from Tampa
railing to receive a prompt response
TO the letter he had wired and had
received authority for time to make
the purchases of local butchers
Describing the OdOr emitted by the
meat Dr. Castle said it was not of a
disgusting character, but that it was
an aromatic, acrid. sour smell He had
reached the conclusion since he had re-
turned to his laboratory work in Gin
cInnau that the beef had been treated
either with the gas formae-dehyde, or
the kindred solution formula used as a
gas as germicide and disinfectant. and
as liquid as a museum fluid for pre-
serving an anatomical and pathological
specimens He had made no report to
any superior officer concerning the
agents statements because he had SUD-
posed that the war department knew
OF the process if any was used
