food furnished on the transports. The
chief of the victualing department
said: 1.-THE first we heard of the mat
ter was through the press. Though
doubtful as to it's accuracy, we set on
foot inquiries on the subject The only
specific instance mentioned was that
of the Nubia. We bought large guam
titles of provisions in New York but
have a responsible agent there who is
not likely to accept rotten meat or
meat already refused by other govern

"embalmed beef is applied in the
United States to canned meats. We
have not bought any of these"

IMPORTANT ADMIRALTY CASE.
Schooner George M. Grant of Sutto
 F1aat ic +I,o ;Lo1on+

Schooner George M. Grant of, Sutton
 Fleet is the Libelant.
 A complaint was filed last Friday morning with the clerk of the United States district court of the southeastern district of New York, in the case of ad- miralty of the four-masted schooner George M. Grant, of the Sutton fleet, against Richard Gurney & Co.,, of New York. The suit is brought to recover on charter party. It seems that in August, 1897, the George M Grant was chartered by Gurney & Co. to take a cargo of coal from Newport News, Va, to Barcelona, Spain, and from this lat ter place to go to Trafani, Sicily, and load with salt to bring to some Ameri- can port north of Cape Hatteras. no port being specified until the bill of lad ing was placed in the captains hands, when Gloucester Mass, was specified.
 On the way back with the cargo of salt in the spring of 1898 the Grant en- countered in the Mediterranean rough weather which caused her to roll and her decks to be under water most of the time. As a consequence the salt shrunk and Gurney & Co. refused to pay for the use of the vessel on the home trip with salt cargo. The proctor for the li- bellant in this case is Attorney J. D. Dewell, jr., of this city, proctor for the Sutton fleet. The respondents are cited to appear tomorrow.

DoRSCHT LODGE SYMPHONY.
Another Popular Concert Given at Ger.
 mania Hall

l
 The Dorscht lodge symphony gave ! another of its popular concerts with Miss L1llie Lichtenstein, pianist, as the soloist, at Germania hall last evening. | Despite the disagreeable weather the hall was we'll filled. The programme, made up of well known classics, and some modern works of popular order were artistically played under Frank ] F'ichtl's direction. The duet for flute ! and French horn by Messrs. Hegel and i Heyer, with orchestral accompaniment, was we'll played, and the Chinese High binder Patrol with it's oriental melo- dies and effects, and the potpourri of German folk-songs were exceptionally well rendered. "Walther's Traumlied" | (Wagner) was one of the gems and was given with true Wagnerian spirit and | warmth.
 Miss Lichtenstein's first number was | Mendelssohn's "Capricio Brillante" with orchestral accompaniment. She is | a pupil of Mrs. E. A. Parsons and play ed with an abandonment and profess sional style and brilliancy, which so particularly characterize the playing of advance students of both Mr. and Mrs. i Parsons. Her touch is crisp and sure and her passage playing very even and well defined. Particularly was this noticeable in her second number, Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodie." The octave work was excellent and showed warmth and artistic phrasing. Her playing is far from that of an amateur MacDow- els Scotch Poem was her encore. The Dorscht lodge will give sacred concert at the Hyperion next Sunday evening and will probably be assisted by local vocalist. The proceeds will be devoted to charitable purposes. The programme in full is as follows: Soloist, Miss Lillie Lichtenstein, piano.
