Test of Refrigerated Beef.


Speaking of his return from Ponce on the
Panama, DR.. Daily said that he secured one
ton of refrigerated beef from Capt. Irvine,
the commssary. AT first he had but one
and one-half tons of ice to keep this meat,
but later got ten tons, making eleven and
one-half tons of ice in all, to keep one ton
OF beef. He said he detected a peculiar
odor from this beef. Securing some of It,
he made beef tea, which he filtered and
Theoretically SeaSel in a can. Upon reaching
his home in Pittsburg he chemically tested
this tea. He found a lghtish brown residu-
um. This had the characteristics of borax
and salycylic acid. The beef from which
this was made was, he said, the same meat
that Capt. Irvine had testified had been
condemned later and thrown overheard by
order of a board of survey. The question
as to whether or not the meat had been
chemically treated had not been considered
by the board of survey.
Maj. Daly-"That question 1 determined
by my own private investigation
The witness said he was of the impression
that that the meat on the Panama came from
the transport Manitoba. At any rate, he
was careful to see that the beef from
which his extract was made was the So
called refrigerated beef.
An Offer to Demonstrate by Tests.
DR.. Daily offered to demonstrate to the
commission, by actual tests in their pres
ence, the fact that the extract contained
the injurious ingredients he mentioned
DR.. Conner objected to this and said that
the extract should be left with the commits
sion for Independent test by government
chemist
Dr. Daly-'I hope the commission will not
require me to part with the extract. There
is but little left and l have no means of
getting more.
Colonel DENLY suggested that the extract
be sealed up now, and that DR.. Daily and a
government chemist meet before the COM
MISSION, ana together conduct the test. To
this DR.. Daily agreed, and it was also
agreed that Prof. Clark of the geological
survey should be the expert called in. The
test will be made in the commissions pres
enCe at 3 O'clock this afternoon.

PAVING A DISPUTED WAY.
An Improvement Calculated to Pro-
tect Archives From the Dust

Work was begun yesterday in paving the
roadway between the State. War. and Navy
Departments building and the White House
grounds. Efforts were made for many
years to secure an appropriation from Con-
gress for this purpose. but owing to a pc
culiar controversy they were not success
full until Just before the end of tie last
legislative session. When the State, War.
and Navy Building was finished iron gates
were placed across this roadway at its
junction with Pennsylvania Avenue by the
then Chief of the Engineer Corps of the
Army, Brig. Gen. Thomas L. Casey The
escutcheon OF the three departments was
| carved into one Of the stone uprights of
the gates, thereby indicating that the road
way was not public thoroughfare, but
was part of the reservation controlled
by the Secretaries OF State War, and Navy
| The cost of improving highways in the
District of Columbia is shared by the Fed
eral Government and the government of
the District, but the District Commission
ers declined to assent to the appropriation
OF any money out of their fund for paving
the road. They contended that the entire
expense should be borne by the United
States. as the thoroughfare was a part of
the Federal reservation. Some time ago it
was ascertained that the dust from the
highway was having an injurious effect on
cooks and official papers in the three de-
partments. II was urged before commit
tees CT Congress that the dust was running
valuable documents, such as treaties, orig
inal copies OF laws. and letters from SOW
oreigns in the library of the Department OF
State. The plea that these valuable books
and papers would be injured IL the street
were not paved had its effect on Congress
| and an amount sufficient to do the work
was authorized to be expended by the
Superintendent OF Public Buildings and
Grounds.
