sion.
Washington, February 28.-The feat
ure of the court of inquiry into Gen.
Miles's beef charges to-day was an OBJ
ject lesson in canned meats prepared by
the court and served TO the non-cOm-
miSsioned men who testified at yester-
days hearing. The court had prepared
eight plates of beef, fresh beef, canned
beef that had been sent to Cuba and
back, and canned beef fresh from the
factory. Four plates were prepared hot
in stew and four cold as they came
from the cans. the fresh beef being
boiled to make it resemble the others.
The enlisted men were ordered to sam
pie each and saywhich was the sort they
had had in Cuba. 1t was trying or
deal for the men, most Of them declar-
ing that none of the plates looked any
thing like what they had eaten in
Cuba They repeated assurances that
there was campaign beef in two OF the
plates, and after being urged that they
should at least choose ito the best OF
their belief" the court succeeded in
getting an expression Of opinion from
each of the men. An army surgeon,

Of the men and changed the position OF
the plates after each witness had LETT
the room. The result of this record
was not made public, however, and VIII
be reserved till DR.. Bcwden testifies
probably some time this week.
The most interesting witness of the
day was Lieut.. Ramsay, Ninth infantry,
who had served as commissary officer
at Baiquiri and Santiago, and who
characterized the canned roast beef
as an "unpalatable and uninvitlng
grade of inferior meat" which he
would not willingly feed to any man,
sick or we'll.
1t has been reported that Governor
Roosevelt, who was in the city last
week and in whose appearance there
had been much popular interest, would
not be called to testify. This was Off
cially denied at the court. It was said
Governor Roosevelt had been sent a
letter requesting him to name a day
when it would be convenient for him
to appear, but that he had not yet re-
piled one way or the ether. This also
disposed CT the allegation that the court
would ignore the volunteer branch OF
the service in the inquiry. The first
witnesses called have been regulars
simply because they have been more
convenint to scure. A number OF vol
unteer officers have been asked to ap-
pear and will be examined In due time.

1t is likely that the Bellaire steel
works will shut down next Saturday, to
remain imperative for a few days for
the purpose of undergoing repairs in
the various departments.

According to report the employees OF
the Bellaire steel plant state that they
have been informed on very good au-
thority that they will receive an in
crease in their wages of ten cents on
the dollar about April LIST. In this
event a piece of work performed by
the tonnage men, which now pays 80
cents, will pay SO cents.

1t is expected that Vice President
A. B. Carter, of the Bellaire Steel Com
pany, will return home to-day from
Chicago, at which city he has been for
several days past, comforting with the
National Steel Company on matters
concerning the transfer of all the stock
of the Bellaire steel plant. 1t is under
stood that the transfer has been con-
summated and that Mr.. Carter will
bring with him either the money or
the checks for the money derived from
the sale of the stock. The sale involves
$75O,000 worth of capital stock, selling
at $266.671a per share OF 500, aside
from what is given in lieu OF earnings,
which makes the stock sell for little
over $3.50 per share. BY these hgureS,
it will be seen that the sale OF the
stock brings something like $2,175,000,
showing that the statement in a morn
ing paper yesterday to the effect that
only 81 100000 was involved in the
sale, is incorrect.
1t is likely that Mr.. Carter will only
bring part of this large sum of money
home with him, as there are prospects
that some of the stockholders OF the
Bellaire steel plant, who have sold out,
will purchase stock from the National
Steel Company. Such a privilege, as is
known, was granted to the Bellaire
stockholders in the stipulatlons OF the
articles of transfer.
Mr.. Carter has been appointed repre-
sentative of the Bellaire Steel Com
pany in the National Steel Company,
which has been granted a charter with
an authorized capital of $59,G00,000.
A number of men, residing at various
points in Eastern Ohio, have formed
a company for the purpose of erecting a
large canning factory in one OF the
Ohio towns. James Wise, formerly
professor at the GAINESVILLE canning
factory, is at the head of the new COM
pany, and there is no doubt the new
project will be carried through with
success under his directions Some OF
the members of the new company spent
yesterday at Neff's Siding, looking
about for a suitable location for the
proposed factory. The company at first
intended to locate in Bellaire, but after
learning the prices Of promising sites
for their business in that city, changed
their minds. The company have been
looking UP sites for their mandatory
at many different places in Eastern
Ohio, and therefore it is not known
at present just where they will finally
decide to locate.

Sunlight and pure air are potent ele ments in prcS1c-ing health and vigo1 in horses as " ell a. other stock.
 Generous feeding of the grGwine colt will surely result in q larger ant smoother animal than if it is allowed to grow up on the farm as best it can
 The horses used for blowing and get ting cut the corn and other work on the farm will be as well off without shoes as with them. Try it.
 If all grooms and herdsmen realized the importance of their making them selves agreeable to the stock they han dle we would have fewer unruly, nerv- Ous and worthless animals
 Since the time of the revolution horses have been steadily increasing in size. Mir. Wallace believes this to be due to the importation of larger horses from abroad for breeding purposes, ard selecting the largest of their progeny t o breed from.
 At the time the first importations were made from great Britain and Eu- ropean countries they were much smaller than at the present time. Ac- cCrding to the evidence collected the colonial horses of Virginia about 175O were nearly all between 13 and II hands, and that for 100 years they had retained the peculiarities of their Eng fish ancestors of the reign of James I. i'll color. size and gait.

 It is now only a question Of Q little time before Luzon will be quiet The arrival of achievements for army and navy will bring about a rigid patrol Of the coast to cut off Aguinaldo's sup plies from abroad and the corraling of the insurgents and capture of Malolos by our troops.

A TOUCH OF SPRING.

Yesterdays touch Of spring brought joy to many weary souls in this win ter-stricken region Washington does not enjoy the rigors of weather per taining to LabradOrean attitudes. It might in time accustom itself to low temperatures and snows, and would perhaps eventually enjoy the long stretches of cold. But this requires much seasoning, and the local climate does not insure that process. The al ternations of cold and warmth which mark the Washington winters, with the slushing of infrequent snows, ut terly fail to bring the body to . con- dition Of fOrtitude. Such days as yes terday, with almost summer heat dur ing the afternoon, have occasionally been experienced in the midst of the winter months. The calculations are upset. The calendar seems awry. But when tEe balmy day comes in it's own right, when the grass recognizes the glow Of the sun 2s approaching perma- nence and star,S anew to grew. when the soil begins to steam with the ex- uding moisture and the bulbs of early spring flowers start swelling, then Washington forgets the disagreeable days that have gone before and real

 As a building achievement the sheme is on a scale worthy of Rameses or a Pharoh. To create in the heart of the African desert a lake having from two to three times the superficial area of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, and control it with scientific precision, so that the impounded flood may be turn ed into distant channels at will, is a stupendous undertaking. But the en- gineers claim that their plans can be carried out to the letter; they have es- timated the exact cost of the dam, computed almost to the gallon the volume of water that will be imprison- ed, and figured the necessary resist ance to be provided at every point of |, e masonry In Cairo, the experts of the ministries of public works and 5i- nance, likewise, have calculated to a nicety the sum from taxation that will come into the public treasury through the country's augmented productive ness.
 Subordinate to the great dam, smaller one, not unlike the barrage at the apex of the delta, ten miles to the north of Cairo, is to Ee made at Assiut.
