Speaker Reeds Tribute to the Late Repre-
sentative DIngiey.

Washington. Jan. 1s.-Speaker Reed
said of the death of Dingley: Il have
never known the sense of loss to be
more nearly universal than in the case
of Governor Dirgley. His death comes
at a time when the need OF his services
will be most keenly felt. His
habits of labor and his untirinS indus
try gave him the greatest command
over the subjects to which he devoted
his attention The house finding that
he always said something and wasted
no time in saying il, accorded to him
the high compliment Of silence and at
tention. He was a public Serv-
ant equal to all his duties. who won the
respect and esteem not only Of his as
sociates, but of the whole country"
At the late home of Mr.. Dingley, the
Hamilton hotel, there were many evi-
dences OF that deep personal esteem in
which he was held. Messages of condo
lence came from every quarter Of the
country. and to these were added the
personal condolences of the president.
cabinet officers. senator's. supreme jus
tices and members of the house.

Wisconsin Corporal Talks About That
Beef-Some OF the Beef, Too.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Jan. 1--WE had
a dog in our company who wouldn't
eat the kind of beef the commissary ce-
partment furnished US" said Corporal
Alfred L. Zinke, Of company L, Second
Wisconsin volunteers. Corporal Zinke
went with the command through the
Porto Rican campaign.
Corporal Zinhe added: 1.-THE red
horse as the boys called it, was the
worst proposition that ever confronted
a hungry mans stomach. I've seen
many of the boys vomit on merely look
ing at he stuff when taken from the
cans. The first batch of 1t we had
seemed to be fairly good stuff. The
worst of this beef was q shipment that
came to us after we reached the island.
I've opened can after can of it, and it
was all alike"
The local company's quarternaster
brought back with him a number of
boxes of timed beef, which he says
first came to his notice on landing at
New York. However, it had been car
ried to Porto Rico on the transport, he
says, but not landed. 1t is in round
rather fiat cans.

General Eagan today sent to the war
investigating commission a revised
statement in place of that originally
made in response to Gen. Miles
charges. The revised statement is
about 30 per cent shorter than that

ceipt went into secret session to de-
eide whether in its present form it
was eXpurgated sufficiently to per-
nit it To bc made part of the COM
mission records.
The commission, after a brief secret
session. decided for the present not
TO make public Eagan's statement.
The letter accompanying the docu-
ment says the objectiOnal features
and what was considered by the COM
mittee as prevalent he has eliminated.
The letter continues: I'm this con-
nection | desire to state that there
never was thought of intention on nv
part of any disrespect whatsoever to
YOUR commission. 1t is then said in
explanation of the language used that
he begs TO invite the attention of the
commission to the fact that he was
accused of practically feeding sol
diers with poisoned beef which made
them sick. = and says such monstrous
charges moved him to desperation.
but he has resubmitted the sworn
statement with abiding faith that the
commission. having all the facts be-
fore them. will decide the points at
issue justly.
