Man Say They Were There.

Walker, president of the Nicaragua Canal
Commission, on the stand.
He said that canned roast beef had been
used by the commissions surveying par
ties on the isthmus. He added that the
men did not like this beef, preferring ba-
con and the fresh native beef; but while
this was true, the canned beef had not
been found to be unwho,esome.
DR.. Charles H. Castle. an assistant sur
geon of the First Ohio Cavalry. for a time
brigade surgeon and one of the men whose
name was given by Lieut.. CAMPER as be-
ing present at Lakeland, Fla, when Mr..

the meat spoiled after it had passed in
specton.

his name he did not know, in the presence
of Capt Carmichael and Lieut.. Camper
at the commssary depot On this occa-
sion Dr. Castle had called the attention of
the agent to some dscolorations of a
greenish character on the meat when the
agent had replied:
The discoloration Is due to some chemi-
cal with which the beef was treated upon
being put in the refrigerator"
Il 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.. Sidney Reid a reporter testified to
the authenticity of the Associated Press

roast beef was nothing more than the
refuse from which beef extract had been
made, ana that he had overwhelming evil
dence that the embalmed beef was chem
ically treated.

The correspondent writes that with all
the shooting that has been done. not a
single Mataafan has been killed or wound

have apparently no respect for the fight

sailors.
The Mataaians are anxious for the al

that when il commenced he thought q

The inmates of the French mission were

The English are very much incensed

WOODWARD is IN HOT WATER.
Ministers Down ON Him for Arrests
of street Preachers.


of street Preachers.
Atlanta, April 10-Mayor Woodward is
in trouble with the ministers of the city.
Yesterday he ordered the police to make
cases against two street preachers, and in
consequence of this act the ministers are
now after his scalp.
At the meeting of the Evangelical Min
listers Association to-day the Mayors &C
ton was condemned as blow at religious
liberty. The Baptist ministers passed
resolutions at their conference on the
same line. and the Methodlsts at their
view to future condemnation.
Mayor Woodward based his order upon
the city ordinance which prohibits any
person from gathering a crowd on the
street that obstructs the passage ways. He
says the street preachers have been in
the habit of occupying the central corners
on Sundays FOR years and have become a
nuisance, because they blockade the
streets, and he therefore ordered the po-
lice to break them up. Under the city
ordlnaces street meetings can be held only
upon written permission of the Mayor. The
preachers have never been confined to the
letter of this law however
This morning the preachers who were
taken in hand yesterday by the police
were tried before the Recorder. but he
did not render his decision. They, as
well as the ministers who took the matter
up at their meetings to-day, declare that
traffic ie not lnterfered with by the Sun
day meetings, as there is practically no
traffic on the streets on Sunday, and there
fore Mayor Woodward went out OF his
way to deal blow at the exercise of re-
ligious liebrty
DR.. Broughton, who enjoys the reputa-
ton of being the leading sensational
preacher of the town, when he heard of
Mayor Woodward's action, jumped on him
with both feet, declaring from his pulpit
that he was ashamed to own him as Mayor
of the capital city of the state.
Some Of the preachers have been LAY
ing for the Mayor" recently, and now
that they have got a point on him that
they can publicly discuss, they are likely
to make II lively for him, as a good many
things have happened during his admins
tration that do not meet the approval OF
the ultra conservative or moral element.

Certain Places.
New York. April 1O.-Only two Witnesses
of importance were put on the stand be-
fore the Mazet legislative investigating
committee to-day. and although the inves-
tigation continued for number of hours
into the afternoon no particularly interest
ing evidence was brought out. The invest
igaung committee adjourned its session
until next Friday, when the chief witness
will be Richard Croker.
Frank Croker, son of Richard Croker,
was on the stand all the morning. He
testified that he had paid $1,000 to enter
Sthe Roebling Fire Proof Company, and
wa sdrawing a salary of $500 from it in
order to learn the business.
Young Croker first said he had given for
his 10 shares of stock a check for the
amount mentioned, but when asked if he
would produce the cancelled check ne
gracefully worked into an admission thdt
the stock was paid for in cash furnished
by his father. He told of having been
presented with 5000 worth of stock in the
United Company, because" he said, they
knew he had lots of rineds in railroads
and such places"
Devery Called Again.
Chief of Police William s. Devery was
again put upon the rack after Frank
Croker had given his testimony Much
of the questioning of the police captain
was similar TO that of Saturday when he
was asked TO explain the existence OF
many disorderly resorts in the city that
flourish at all hours of the night Devery
said that the police department had done
all it could do, with the evidence that II
had before it, TO close such places.
Devery denied that he knew of any high
official of the city who was interested In
pool rooms.
During the progress of the session DR.
O'Suilivan said 90 the COMMITTEES: Mr.
Richard Croker desires me to say that he
will be at the disposal of this Investigate
ing committee at any time up to April 10,
when he is to sail for Europe"
Mr.. Moss evidently took this for a chal-
lenge and he promptly informed DR.
O'Sullivan that Mr.. Cookers presence was
desired at the very next meeting of the
committee, which would be on the COM
ing Friday morning az 10 O'clock.
