fNewbern Journal.l


From information received on good
authority. the Journal rs glad toF make
public the general sfsrogram Of the s1it
lantic and North Carolina Railroad, as
proposed under the coming new man
agement of President james \. Bryan.
The people along the line of this road
are only too familiar with the present
conditions of the road: its inadequate
equipment for freight and passenger
business. as witnessed during the past
truck season. and during the days when
the passenger travel exceeds the normal.
But the future is to show Il change.
and heartily will the much needed inn
provement be greeted.
Two important additions promised to
the main line, which will be important
feeders. will be lines b1rilt to Trenton.
Jones county, and to Snow Hill, Greene
county.
The Importance of these extensions
VIII be appreciated very much by the
people in the two sections through
which these lines will pass
The added business which the main
line will get by these extensions will be
seen in the increased earnings of the
road.
On the main line, it is proposed to
repair the entire road bed put on new
locomotives and new rolling stock for tho
passenger and freight service.

SKATER rEsrIF1Es.
the Beef Inquiry Board-No New
Evidence Elected.

Washington April 70. Gen. Shafter,
who conducted the campaign against
Santiago, was the principal witness
before the beef inquiry board yester.
day. His statement differed little
from his testimony before the war in
vestigating committee. He said he ate
canned roast beef cold and found it
not disagreeable. The refrigerated
beef was as fine as any he had ever
eaten, The men who suffered for lack
OF food had only themselves to blame.
II there had been mistakes, congress,
which provides the rations and cloth
ing of soldiers, was responsible. He
admitted that he had never heard OF
canned roast beef before the war.
While it was not very palatable in the
tropics, he thought IL would be very
good in cold climate. Some of the
Pennsylvania volunteers gave direct
testimony as to the tainted character
of the refrigerated beef and the
canned roast beef. One of them testi.
fed that beef aboard the Mississippi
had maggots in it.
