OBJECT LESSONS IN ARMY BEEF,
Samples OF Canned Meat Tested by Wit
nesses at Court of Inquiry Hearing.


nesses at Court of Inquiry Hearing.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The feature
of the court of inquiry into General
Miles beef charges yesterday was an
object lesson in canned meat prepared
by the court and served to the non com
missioned men who testified at Mon
days hearing. The court had prepared
eight plates o. beef, fresh beef, canned
beef that hau been to Cuba and back
and canned beef fresh from the factory.
-Four plates were prepared hot in a stew
and four cold as they came from the
can, the fresh beef being boiled to make
it resemble the others. The enlisted
men were ordered to sample each and
say which was the sort they had had in
Cuba. 1t was a trying ordeal for the
men, most Of them declaring that none
of the plates looked anything like what
they had eaten in Cuba. By repeated
assurances that there was campaign
beef in two of the plates and after being
urged that they should at least choose
"to the best of their belief" the court
succeeded in getting an expression of
opinion from each of the men. An
army surgeon, DR.. Bowden, kept tally
on the guesses of the men and changed
the positions of the plates after each
witness had left the room. The result
of this record was not made public,
however, and will be reserved till Dr.
Bowden testifies. probably some time
this week.
The most interesting witness of the
day was Lieutenant Ramsay, Ninth
infantry, who had served as a commits
sary officer at Baiquiri and Santiago
and who characterized the canned roast
beef as San unpalatable and uninvitinq
grade of inferior meat, which he would
not willingly feed to any man, sick or
well -

ARMY BILL PASSES.

pIetes Reading of sundry Civil Bill.
House Passes Two Appropriation Bills.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-After a con-
test that will be memorable in the his
tory of the senate, the compromise
army reorganization bill was passed
Monday evening. When the senate
convened at IL a. m. it seemed more
than likely that the bill might not be
passed during the day. Mr.. German
insisted that his amendment providing
that the army should not be increased
permanently, or beyond July 1, 1901,
be incorporated in the measure. For
several hours it appeared probable this
insistence at least would throw the bill
over until today and perhaps defeat it.
An agreement was reached finally,
however. and Mr.. Germans amend
ment, in q slightly modified form, was
accepted.
The notable speech of the day against
the measure was delivered by Mr.. Vest,
but his brilliant eloquence availed moth
ing against the measure as finally
agreed upon. The Is who voted against
the bill were: Bate, Berry, Butler,
Gallery, Chiffon, Clay, Daniel, Hoar,
Martin, Pettigrew, Turley, Vest and
White.
House Passes Public Building Bills
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The house
spent practically the entire time of the
seven-hour session Tuesday passing the
public bills favorably acted upon by
the committee of the whole 10 days ago.
The opposition sought in vain to con-
sumo time by roll calls and other fill
clustering tactics, but their numbers
were so slim that in no case could they
secure a roll call. At last their efforts
to impede the passage of the bills were
abandoned and they were passed with
great rapidity. Sixty-one bills in all
were passed, carrying $9,352,OOO
Among them were: Creston, Ia, $780,
900; Clinton. Ia, 100000; Oskaloosa,
Ia, $50. 900; Hastings and Norfolk, Neb.,
$4,000; Blair, Neb., $4,000: Omaha,
fixing limit of cost at 81 100000: Lead
vile, Colo, $4,000. Only one bill
failed, that appropriating $4,000 for a
building at Bluefeld, w. Va.

Late President of France Is Given q Mag.
nificent State Funeral.
PARIS, Feb. 24.-Bright weather ia,
vored the drop of the curtain over the
scene of the drama of President Faure's
life, giving value to the brilliant spec.
tacular effects. The garrison Of Paris
numbering 10000 men was on duty in
the long thoroughfares between the
Elysee and Notre Dame, and there
were between the cathedral and Pere
la Chaise glittering helmets and cuiras-
ses and martial music, marking the inn
petuosity Of the French temperament.
The people of Paris were kept in the
dark as long as possible as to the route
the funeral procession was to take.
This was owing to fear of seditious
manifestations.
General Iurlinden, surrounded by
his staff, led off the cortege. The three
cofinless hearses followed, and then
came the funeral car, most imposing
vehicle. Leading statesmen bore the
pail. Then came the family, consisting
of the presidents son.in-law, Berge,
Cremer, his nephew, and his business
partner in hides and leather trade, and
his two cousins.
The new president. M. Loubet,
showed great pluck in not walking from
the Elysee TO Notre Dame, but to the
cemetery, through the most disturbed
districts. He was by himself, behind
the family, and betrayed no fear. He
wore for the first time the grand Gordon
of the Legion of Honor, broad, scarlet
ribbon of watered silk. He is rather short,
thick set, of dark complexion, with hair
and beard originally black, but now
grizzied. He seemed determined not to
finch, and can show himself stern and
unfiinching.
Great apprehensions were felt for the
safety of the members of the criminal
chamber of the court of cessation and
the three Dreyfusite members, President
LOew and Judges Bard and Dumas.
Hundreds of thousands of Republicans
would have liked to hoot them and
cheer Judge Mazeau, president of the
court. But the unpopular judges were
apparently not noticed.

Senate Passes River and Harbor Bill

ccbdto hsscs IstNer anu hdTDOF
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-After q ses-
sion Of nearly eight hours Friday, the
senate passed the river and harbor bill
by the decisive vote of so to 3. The
measure was under consideration
throughout the day, and on several of
the committee amendments a deter.
mined fight was made, but in every in.
stance the opposition awaited nothing.
The sharpest contest arose over the
Nicaragua canal bill amendment. A
point Of order was made against it that
it was general legislation. but the sen.
ate. to which the vice president sub
uitted the point, overruled it. 1t was
then attacked as not being relevant to a
river and harbor measure, but this too
was overruled by the senate. Messrs.
Pettigrew, Rawlins and Teller vigor-
ously attacked the bill, their opposition
being directed especially against the
canal amendment. The statement was
made that the measure would never see
the light of day in the house and that
the canal would not be built under the
proposition inserted in the bill.

Two Approximation Bills Passed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The house
was in session seven hours Monday and
sent to the senate two more appropria-
ton bills, the army, which had been
under consideration for several days,
and the Notifications. The former car
ried about $40, 100000 and the latter ap-
proximately $4,700,OO0. The final con-
ference report upon the Indian appro-
priation bill was also adopted. The
only amendment of Importance attached
to the army bill was one giving two
months extra pay to enlisted men in
the regular army who served beyond the
limits of the United States during the
war with Spain, and one months extra
pay to those who served in the United
States. The discussion of the admins
tration's policy relative to the Philip
pines, which has been occupying the
attention of the members to the exclu-
sion of appropriation bills, was contin-
ued, several speeches being made on the
subject. Mr.. Dockery, leading Demo-
GRAFT on the appropriations committee,
asserted the appropriations for this year
would reach 81 900, 000, 900.

In this country and England. but in every
