PRAISES THE BEEF SUPPLY
colonel shhrp of Commissnry Depart
mcnt Lays Blame ON COntrnct-
ors, Not the Government.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Colonel Henry
sharp OF the Commissary department, who
served at Camp Thomas and in Porto Rico
during the war, was before the War Investi-
eating commission today. He had been in
the Commissary department for fifteen years
and said that the quality of fresh beef is
sued at Camp Thomas was equal to any he
had ever seen in the army.
Governor Beaver read the witness parts
OF Surgeon w. II. Daleys report to General
Miles on the "embalmed beef" issued at
camp Thomas and asked If he had noticed
the 'mawkish taste" and disgusting odor'
OF the beef referred to. In Porto Rico, he
said, he had inspected one vessel Of refrig-
orator beef at Arroyo and that the beef was
the wonder and admiration OF an the ma
tlves and foreign residents, none Of whom
had ever seen such good beef. The native
cattle in Porto Rico, he said, "were infinitely
inferior to the American refrigerator beef
The Porto Ricans slaughtered bulls, stays
and heifers unfortunately, classes ex-
cluded from our army beef by contract.
They also slaughtered superannuated draft
cattle whose flanks and quarters were in
variably full of sman sacs and cysts He
knew OF no chemically preserved meat is
sued to the army and he warmly COM
mended all the American beef given our
troops in Porto Rico.
Colonel Sharp thought the loss OF the
spoiled beef which has been in question fell
to the contractors and not to the govern
ment

HEAVY STORM IN THE SOUTH

icatiOns Are Suspended.

MOBILE, Ala, Jan. 6.-After intervals OF
rain during the night and early morning
atmospheric indications OF a heavy storm
were noticed here between and 10 o'clock
this morning. At the latter hour a heavy
squall accompanied by rain came up from
the northwest and burst over the city and
river with great violence. The winds ve-
locty was computed to be forty miles an
hour Property in the northern part OF the
city which was exposed suffered severely.
Trees have been uprooted in the city and all
the Western Union wires east Of here are
down through the demolition OF the iron roof
of the Mobile & Ohio freight sheds Two
men were blown from wharves into the
river, but so far there has been no loss Of
life reported.
JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 6.-The heavy rains
have caused extensive washouts on railroads
in central Mississippi and the generaf condi-
tion today is the worst known in years.
Several hundred feet of track are completely
submerged on the Illinois Central road two
miles north of this city, and all traffic on
that system has been indefinitely delayed.
On the Alabama & Vicksburg railroad be-
tween Bolton and Edward seven miles OF
track is eight feet under water.

DISBANDlNG THE ARMY CORPS
Scattering of the Army Renders the
Present Organization Inn
practicable.

NEW YORK, Jan. Ga special from
Washington says Secretary Alger will soon
issue an order formally dsbandng the seven
army corps organized during the war
These corps are still in existence, but the
dispatch of troops to Cuba and Porto Rico
has so reduced the force OF several Of them
that only few regiments represent corps.
The First and Seventh corps are now In
Cuba, but as the island has been subdivided
into seven departments, the corps are prac-
tically no longer recognized as such. The
Second and Fourth corps, whose headquar-
,ers are at Augusta, Ca, and Huntsville,
Ala, are practically disbanded.
Instructions have been given to all COM
manding officers OF regiments to grant dis
charges to such enlisted men who request
and who enlisted in the regular army for one
year. The six regiments which are going to
the Philippines are especially receiving the
attention Of the department in this respect
and before they start the commands will
be made up of men who have enlisted for
three years. The officials have found that
the men are making money by applying for
discharges and then securing clothing and
travelling allowances. When discharged and
after the receipt Of their allowances they
apply for re-enlistment for three years and
obtain the advantage OF increased pay.

states as the Importance OF the work con-
Quoted by the stations becomes more APP
parent.
In some instances politics has had a
baneful influence on the stations, causing
unreasonable changes in the membership OF
che governing boards and the removal of
efficient officers. The results OF experiments
In Alaska are encouraging. as several sorts
OF grain and garden vegetables have been
successfully raised. The Hawaiian islands
now present new field for experiments,
says the report, and the question OF their
agricultural development is an important
one. An experiment station is already in
existence there, having been established at
Honolulu in 1895 by an association OF
Hawaiian sugar men.

RAISES RACE DISTINCTIONS
North Carolina Proposes to Enact
Special Railway ana Public
school Laws.

RALEIGH, ~ c., Jan. 6.--Two bills have
been introduced In the house OF the North
Carolina legislature requiring all railroads
in the state to operate separate coaches for
white and colored passengers. One OF the
bills is an exact copy of the laws now in
force in Tennessee. and, which has been de-
clared constitutional. The other is similar.
The law provides That any first-class coach
may be divided into compartments, sepa-
rated by a substantial partition in lieu Of
separate coaches
A bill also was introduced in the house to
amend the state constitution so as to pro-
vide that "All the moneys arising from the
taxation of the polls and property Of the
white race for public schools shall be ap-
propriated to the support OF the pubic
schools of the white race and all the moneys
arising from the taxation OF the polls and
property of the colored race, for public
schools, shall be appropriated to the sup
port OF the public schools of the coored
race" The school fund Is now apportioned
according to population, the negroes getting
as much per capita as the white people,
though they pay only about 10 per cent Of
the taxes.

Thnyer's Attitude Criticised.

LINCOLN, Jan. 6--To the Editor of The
Bee: Usually when several men OF the same
party are seeking the same position the fair
and proper thing for dlsinterested members
OF the party to do is to give each candidate
a fair field. Any meddlesome interference,
and especially OF that interference amounts
to dictation, is Justly resented Our present
legislature is called on to elect United
States senator, and from the abundance of
good material, 1t may very safely be left
to make its own selection.
letter from General Thayer, published
recently, treating Of this subject, is quite
remarkable. 1t Is quite probable that the
motive that prompted this unsolicited offer
of advice from one who, after receiving
every honor in the gift OF his state. has
permanently retired from politics. will be
questioned. The letter shows that the long
years OF training in the realm of politics
cannot be forgotten in a brief retirement
1t Is a skillful attempt to help one can
didate by an attack on another both un-
named.
One who visits republican. headquarters
in this city does not need to be observing
to see in whose interest General Thayer
wrote his open letter. A strong lobby oil
men belonging to a secret organization is
working along the same line. 1t represents
the strongest corporation and the greatest
trust in our country. Men who have been
highly honored by their fellow citizens and
who have been munhcently provided for by
generous government should not be un.
reasonable in their demands, much less
should they assume to dictate. The great
American people, and even the members OF
our legislature, may be trusted to do what

INvEsTIGATING FARM PROBLEMS.
Work of Agricultural Experiment
stations Reviewed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The secretary Of
agriculture has forwarded to congress a re-
port on the work and expenditures Of the
agricultural experiment stations for the
fiscal year 1898. During that time says the
report. the stations have as rule steadily
pursued their investigations, much useful
work has been accomplished and the
facilities for Investigations have been in
creased. In Wyoming and Arkansas the
sub.stations have been abandoned. Much
progress has been made in the importance
and thoroughness OF the original investiga-
tions pursued and the number OF officers
competent to undertake such Investigations
has been increased, One Of the most neces-
sary features OF future work Is 10 have
practical application OF the results OF in
vestigations made so that farmers can be
taught to make the best use OF discoveries.
Aid from the states Is necessary for this
work. Much encouragement has been

said ten Of the leading coal operators have
procured the services of labor agency tt
procure Italians to work in Pana mines. The
operators are apparently becoming dissat-
isfied with the negroes brought here from
Alabama, so many of'them proving shiftless
and turbulent. The Italians on arrival were
met by committee Of union miners and
escorted to the union headquarters on Sec
ond street. The Italians seemed to be
greatly surprised on learning of the strike
and refused to work with the negroes. The
miners union and citizens are making up
purse and will return the Italians to Chi

the establishment of free trade relations
between that island and the United States
and the abrogation of the tariff established

the retirement of the Porto Rican currency
and the substitution OF the money OF the
United States. The petitioners represent that

No ONlcial Developments of Particu-
lar Interest from IlOIIO.

lar Interest from IlOilO.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-The cabinet at
It's meeting today gave special consideration
to the administration OF affairs in Cuba.
There seems to be a misunderstanding
among some people Of Santiago as to the
policy of the government as to the eX-
penditure OF money collected from internal
revenue and customs sources. 1t is not be-
lieved that General Wood, who Is In COM
mand at Santiago, misunderstands the pur-
poses of the government, but in any event
nothing will be done In the matter until
General Wood arrives. Then an effort will
be made to arrive at some general plan.
II seems certain, however. that all moneys
disbursed must go through central de-
partment and that under no circumstances
can any particular city or cities be allowed
to expend all its collections to the neglect
of other sections. General Wood, however,
will receive a proper and sufficient allow
ance for Santiago province, but full con-
sideration is certain to be given to sections
which collect nothing or little from customs.
1t is very likely that soon after Genera!
Woods return to Santiago the governors
of the several provinces will be instructed
to assemble for the discussion Of the ques-
ton of their respective needs and also for
pressing internal improvements. Thus 1t Is
expected a fair distribution of the funds OF
the island will be had
Nothing of special interest has been re-
ceved from Iloilo. The administration has
full confidence in its representatives on the
ground and no further action will be taken
until something further Is learned as 10
the situation. AS soon as the treaty Is rat
iied by the senate the president, 1t Is ex-
pected, will make any changes that will
b,yo hnen found 10 he necessary In matters
of administration to the end that his in
structions to General Otis and by him pro-
claimed to the people may be fully carried

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-In view of the
fact that communication between the states
and the Yukon district is necessarily
irregular the postmaster general has
ordered that all letters addressed
to parties in the Yukon district held
for postage where mailed shall be held at
the mailing office for ninety days before
being forwarded to the dead letter office.
This will give the addresses an opportunity
to forward the deficient postage. The
steamboat postoffice service between Seattle,
Wash, and Taiya, Alaska, a distance Of
1,O43 miles, heretofore temporary, has been
established as permanent route.
