In the House.
Two joint resolutions were introduced
IN the house of representatives Thursday
by Representative Williams, of Mississip,
pi, which are the result of a consultation
among a number of the democratic lead
ers in the house and are understood to be
expressive Of their general position ON
the Philippines.
The first resolution declares the inten-
ton and purpose to recognize the indepen-
dence of the Philippines and to withdraw
our land and navy forces provided the in.
dependent government agrees to refund
$2O,OO0,OO0 paid by the United States to
Spain and TO give the United States suit
able naval coaling station and grant IN
perpetuity free access to their ports.
Another section pledges our friendly as
slstanee and also pledges against foreign
interference or aggression for ten wears.
during which time the foreign affairs of
the islands are to be under American
control.
Other resolutions ask for information
relative to the conclusion of the treaty
with the Sultan of Sulu and provide for
an inquiry by the judiciary committee as
to whether the constitutional provisions
against slavery and statutory provisions
against polygamy apply to Sulu people.
Owing to the Washington memorial SER
vices held at Mount Vernon Thursday the
house was well nigh deserted when it met
at II o'clock to resume the debate on the
currency bill. BY unanimous consent, the
bill was passed to extend the time for the
examination of monthly accounts by the
bureaus and officers of the war depart
ment.

A journeyman halter, companion
of DIR. Franklin, was about to set up in
business for himself and wished to have
an appropriate sign to put over his

of the suitability of his sign, and he de-

would not care who made the hats so
long as they were satisfactory and the
price was not too high. He struck that

OPINION on THE BEEF RATION.
What the Court Thinks of the Canned and
the Refrigerated.

Generally any unsatisfactory condi-
ton of the refrigerated beef when it
reached the troops is ascribed to unnec-
essary delay in using it. The report
says: The court is of the opinion that
the canned roast beef was not suitable
as a travel ration on transports, consid-
ering the absence of cooking facilities
and the absence from that ration of
fresh vegetables and condiments. For
use on shore as a field ration. where the
companies had their camp cooking
equipment. and vegetables Were avail
able, canned roast beef is suitable for
issue-say two lays in ten, but not for
two days in sucL ssion- For any use
exceeding one day five the court
finds this beef unsuitab.1. The refrig
Grated beef is, in the opinohs t,the court,
a suitable ration for loops WI, \ it can
be issued to them in good cono,'ion."
The opinion is expressed that it would
have been impracticable to land beef
cattle on the hoof in Cuba.
An instruction OF the president to the
court was: IF the packers of the coun-
try are guilty it must be known" Re
plying to this direction the court says:
The court finds that at the outbreak of
hostilities in April. 1895. the packers of
canned beef We're engaged in the manu-
facture of an article of standard quail
ity. well known to the trade and the
subsistence department under the name
of canned roast beef. The methods of
packing then in use were the same as
those habitually employed in the prep
aration of the meat as an article of
commerce. and the court does not find
that they underwent any change during
the progress of the war"
Replying specifically to other ques-
lions set out by the president the court
SAYS: The ca nned beef was described
as fresh because it was not sailed, but
the meat was not old or stale. The re-
frigerated beef furnished the amy was
mot doctored or treated with any other
agency than cold air. The meat pur-
chased for the army was the meat of
commerce that both kinds-refriger-
ated ard canned-were such as are well
known in both hemispheres as CONNER
cial articles. of which there is and has
been very large consumption not only
by the trade generally. but by the Unit
ed States navy and by the armies and
naviss OF Europe"
No reports of unfitness or unsuitable
ity of the beef sent from the United
States were forwarded to the war de-
partment by any general officer serving
in Cuba or Porto Rico while the field
