Of beef inquiry resumed it's sessions today
with Rear Admiral John e. Walker,
president of the Nicafagua canal commits
sion on the.stand. He said the canned
beef had not been found unwholesome,
though the men didn't like 1t.

geon of the first Ohio cavalry, said that
on:the 10th of August he had met an Ar
mour agent in the presence Of Captain
Carmichael and Lisutenant Gampfer at
the commissnry depot. On this occasion
DIR. Castle had called the attention Of the
agent to some discoloration Of greenish
character on the meat. when the agent
had replied: 1.-THE discoloration Is due to
some chemical with which the beef WAS
treated upon being put In the refrigera-
tor"
~ asked him what the formula was. "
continued DIR. Castle, but he replied
that he did not know" Describing the
odor emitted by the meap, DIR. Castle said
it was not of disgusting character, but
that 1t was an aromatic acid. sour smell.
He had reached the conclusion that the
beef had been treated either with the gas

Mr. Frye and spokeIof..his recent distfrts
guisaed services. In behalf OF his fellow
citizens he welcomed.the Senator back "a
his home. Mr.. Pottls also spoke fof the
growth and prosperity of Lewiston.
When Senator Frye was introduced by
Chairman Osgood he was greeted with
tumultuous applause. Tffe cheering lasta
ed for several minutes.
The Senator seemed to appreciate the
compliment paid-him and gave earnest
expression to hfs gratitude. He said thab
the banquet having been given by
board of trade, he felt justified in dis
oussing commercial questions rather-than
indulging in the ordinary after dinner
attempts at wit, humor and anecdote.
He gave a glowing description of the
natural advantages of our country, the
use we had made of them, the discovery
by us. from 1892 forward that our splen-
did home market could no longer be our
entire.dependence ;ithatlws must slook to
foreign markets in which to dispose Of
our surplus.
Our necessity for foreign market will
increase year by year. GonpstitionUish
foreign nations will grow sharper, and
sharper.
He insisted that we must carry our
owniimports land exports on American
ships, pay to our people the $500, coo a day
we are now paying to foreigners. He
MISUNDERSTANDING our ships as other
rival nations did, and claimed that 10
would Prove economical to our people in
eduetion of freight rates to the extent of
$50, 900, 0O00 annually.
He described the Philippine islands,
their. fertility, their mineral wealth, their
capacity to increase production under a
good government, rendering life and
property seoure. III
He said that their domestic. trade was
insignificant compared with their i'm
portance as bringing US in touch with
seven or eight millions of the people OF
the Orient, whose trade last year amount
cd to 81, 500 ,0O0. 900; that our sovereignty
might prevent the division of China and
| the closing of the door of trade against
US.
He opposed surrendering the islands
to any body, but intimated that in the
| distant future, under our tutelage, ths
natives might form a stable Republican
| government.
he advocated the construction of a
water route across the isthmus to all ma.
ions except one which might be at war
with us.

In such case the proceedings OF the COM

The state department has been notified
that the German government raises the
question of legality of all that has been
done at Apia since the mi ddle of March.

FUTURE OF THIRTEENTH.
An Extension of Time May BE
Granted-New Armory Will Fol-
low Reorganization of the
Regiment.

There is q faint possibility that an
extension of time will be granted the
Thirteenth regiment to effect reorgan-
ization, as has been done in the case
of the Ninth, but there is very little
possibility of more than one or. at the
most, two of the Thirteenth companies
being able to reorganize.
Captain Roblings Company c has
forty-two members enrolled for re-en-
listment, and the number sufficient to
fill out the minimum quota can be
recruited, the captain says. He was
prepared Tuesday night to present a
full company for acceptance, but was
prevented from so doing owing to the
absence of Major Millar.
In due time, extension or no ex-
tension the Thirteenth regiment is
doomed to dissolve, and when that oc-
ours orders will quickly follow direct
ing Colonel Watres to proceed with
the reorganization of the Eleventh reg
iment in conformity with the new act.
This being effected, the new armory
will appear. The manner and whence
ness of its coming is not, as yet, public
property. All that can be said Is that
the new armory will follow closely
on the heels of Colonel Watres' assign
ment as permanent commander of the
local regiment.
A number of the officers Of the Thir-
teenth will be invited to accept posi-
tions in the new regiment. Lieuten.
ant Colonel +. w. Stillwell will be one
of those. Major L. d. Fellows and
Major W. A. Wood will likely be two
others. Such officers as do not sue.
ceed in securing places in the new regi
ment will, it is said, be permitted tC
resign their commissions.

TAKING OFF TRAINS.
Central Railroad of Now Jersey Re
ducing Passenger Service.

After today there will be only one
Sunday train running over the Central
Railroad of New Jersey out of this
city and this one will be the regular
through train All local Sunday trains
are to be abandoned between here and
Wilkes Barre. The regular train ar
rives here at 12.45 p. IN. and leaves at
Els p. m. In addition to the above, a
change will be made in the daily local
service out of Wilkes-Barre to Wanna
mie and Scranton. Only one train will
make the round trip. instead of three
as heretofore. In addition to this, two
through trains will arrive and depart
from the city.
For some time the Central enjoyed
the distinction of having the only Sun
day QocaO service out of Scranton. The
Sunday service on the Bloomsbury
division of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad and Delaware
and Hudson naturally reduced the Cen
tral roads patronage.

WRITINGS OF LATE T. p. RYDER
They Have Been Issued in Book
Form.

The long-expected book OF the late
Thomas +. Ryder is now being issued
from the binder and will be sold to sub
scribers and the public on Monday. The
edition is limited to 1000 copies and it
is believed the whole edition will be dis
posed of In a few weeks.
There has been such a demand for
the first few copies issued that the
Press club has decided to auction off
the first TO the highest bidder NJ. J..
Geary, the well known bookseller, has
offered $40 for the first copy and as
there are several others after 1t, some
spirited bidding is anticipated. The
auction will take place in the Press
club rooms, s South Franklin street, on
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. The first
ten copies will be officially marked by
the committee and publishers and it is
hoped that a nice sum will be realized
from their sale.
The proceeds of the book will be used
for the benefit of Mr.. Ryder's young
daughter The volume is nicely bound
and printed and contains the gems OF
prose and poetry culled from Mr.
Ryder's writings.--Wilkes- Barre Rec,
