Our understanding of the same is as

Our understanding of the same is as
follows:
First. We agree with you that the
present custom of writing the pack
ers or owners name on the sample
tag is useless practice which should
be abandoned, and that we will en-
ploy our hest efforts to have 1t aban-
dOned. We are told by representa-
tives of several manufacturers that
they will not insist on the cOntin-
uance of this custom and that it
might be arranged between the
warehouses of Cincinnati and Louis
vice. The Louisville warehouses
have, 80 far, through their represen-
tatives, declined to agree with us in
the matter, but we will certainly try
to have it adjusted in our own mar
ket.
Second. We agree to make the
regular warehouse charges on all to-
baccO consigned to US by members of
your League and to rebate therefrom
$3.50 per hOgshead, provided the to-
bacco comes to Us before we have
made any advancements thereon,
and If advancements are required
after the tobacco has been received in
our warehouse, we will make the
same to an extent, reasonably safe,
at a charge of six per cent. per an
mum, and still rebate the $3.50 per
hid.
In making these concessions to
members Of your League we will re-
quire from them a certificate or other
proof of membership.
Very respectfully your.

Mr.. James Andrew Scott, Frankfort,
KY:
Dear Sir-When your League was
in session, Dec. 9Th, at Lexington, a
Board of Directors was authorized.
They have BEEN selected and have
been continuously a. work since, en-
deavOring to benefi the growers of
tobacco. A committee from the
Board visited Louisville and re-
queSted the warehouses to make some
concessions in their charges, and also
a committee was sent to Cincinnati
for the same purpose, in hopes that
any concessions that they might
make would have d tendency to per-
suade the farmers who could not
hold their tobacco to ship it to the
market, and not sell in the country
to manufacturer agents. The fol-
lowing houses in Cincinnati, TIE
Bodman, The Globe, The Cincin-
natl Miami and the Morris, have
made the following concessions, to
wit:
To rebate $3.50 per hOgshead
charges, provided this tobacco comes

vancements are required after the
tobacco has been received by them,
will make the same to AN extent
reasonably safe at a charge of 6 per
cent. per annum and still rebate the
$3.50 per hOgshead. We enclose
herewith copy of their letter.
The Louisville warehouses refuse
to make any concessions whatever.
We respectfully call your attention
to section 10 Of the act OF the Legis-
lature lS9l-23.
A meeting of the State League is

GOOD TO USE IN WAR TIME.
Lieutenant Harry Culver's Opinion of the
Canned Eeef-CoI. TAIrner Testifies.

Harry n. Culver, second lieutenant Of
the First Illinois volunteers. said that
most of the complaints he heard about
the canned roast beef were because it
lacked seasoning and became tiresome
by reason of i continuous issuance Ma
jor Lee asked: If called before a board
for advice as to what should be issued
70 soldiers who We're going to war in
cuba next summer would you recon-
mend that canned roast beef as u meat
ration ,"
In circumstances OF war I would ad-.
wise its use"
First Sergeant Albert Saldvin, of the
Seventh United States infantry. testi-
fed that some oe the men complained
that the canned roast beef was not pal
atable. He had eaten it, but did not
banker for il. Corporal Frank P. Rogan,
of the Seventh infantry. didn't hear any
complaints about the canned roast beef
on the voyage to Cuba. Some Of the
canned beef was bad; lots of men vom-
tied after eating it.
Colonel Henry L. Turner. who went to
Cuba in command of the First Illinois
infantry and became brigadier general
of the second brigade OF the Third divis-
ion Of the Fifth army corps, said on the
way to Cuba there was a good deal OF
unofficial complaint about the canned
roast beef and the result of an official
complaint the surgeon condemned lot
of II and it was thrown overheard. The
cans had swollen and the meat was very
baG. y good deal of the refrigerator
beef spoiled, possibly from the intense
heat. The greater part of it came done
up in cheese cloth and some of it looked
well, but some of it was dark. His own
experience with it was not happy.
On the voyage home there were very
serious complaints about the earned
roast beef. The officers told him that the
men couldn't live on it. SO he furnished
money out of his own pocket to buy
them a hot meal every day. Not very
much canned roast beef was issued on
the voyage home. They brought back
a. or so per cent. Of what had been is
sued u the regiment. He had tried to eat
some Of the canned roast beef, but it
nauseated him ard he couldn't do it. 1t
certainly was unfit for a ration in the
warm climate.

CONTROL OF FOREIGN PATENTS

abroad "for His HeaIth."

When this had been arranged A c.
Spalding set sail for Europe. At the
time it was said he went for his health.
In the course Of Spalding's search for
health abroad, it is said, he obtained in
France the control of the Acetayne pat
ents which are considered TO be the
foundation of the beveled Seared wheel.
the French having used this form of
power transmission several years before
it was tried elsewhere. In England the

ness for the present year is cOntem-
plated, but next year each manufacture

That all this had been carefully
planned is shown by the recent organiza-
ton of a 100000 bicycle saddle COM
pany by y. l.. Garford former presi-
dent of the National Cycle Board OF

Did Major SanbOrn-Packing House Ex-
pert neutrality-suspicious. Differ.

Major Joseph \. SaEborn. of Chicago,
major of the First Illinois volunteers
testified that the roast canned was un-
Ialatable. He inspected the refrigera-
tor beef. Two issues out of three were
N fine condition. but the third was
condemned because decomposition had
set in. The canned roast beef was not
very inviting IN appearance, but he had
eaten some of it cooked. He recalled

said Gamers were a very inferior
class of cattle. Il think One-third of
them would be condemned in any Eng

left in the meat that goes in the can.
The French, German and British gov

canned roast beef, but generally bought
canned corn beef. He had no knowledge
that diseased cattle were used for can

stated that during the twenty-five days
in Cuba. between the landing and the
surrender. there were scarcely any com
paints made about the canned roast
beef: so far as he knew none was made
in regard to its making the men s!ch.
on the voyage home the men didnt
eat a great deal of the canned roast
beef. because they had gotten tired of
canned roast beef. The brands he saw
were Armour's and Libby. Mcneil &
I.ibby's. Witness said he ate the canned
roast beef two or three times a day
when It was first issued and il never
made him sick.
Major Left you were organizing a
company would you supply it with

Not entirely: but IL I couldn't get

CAN FULL OF DEAD MAGGoTs.
Witness Who Tells an Awful Tale of 10:
ten Soldier Food.


First Lieutenant NJ. r. Davis of the
First cavalry, was called upon request
of Major Lee. He said that in Cuba the
men opened all the cans of roast beef
issued to them. but only consumed one
half of the contents on. an average; the
rest was thrown away because it was
unfit to eat. The contents of the \can,
he said, would be about three quarters
suet-not what you would call meat.
Perhaps one-quarter or one-fffth of the
can would be good fibre meat; the rest
appeared to be tailings or clippings.
Sometimes a can would be entirely
spoiled. Witness said he once opened
can which smelled bad; he examined it
and found magGots in it.
Major Lee-How did the maggots get
in there?
They were canned in there"
Colonel Davis-Are you aware that
in the process of canning this meat un-
dergoes such an intense heat that 10
animal life could survive in it?
Il don't mean to say they were alive.
They were dead"
Major Lee-You are positive about
the identity of the animal?
Yes, sir. Quite positive" The brand
was that of Swift & Co.
Thomas a. Pearce, first lieutenant of
the Seventh infantry, said that after
landing in Cuba canned roast beef and
bacon We're served to his command.
During the twenty-five days before
the surrender 1 think about equal parts
OF these components were issued
heard no complaints about the canned
roast beef. The cooking was done in
diVidCally. Sometimes the men ate il
cold and sometimes they cooked it.
Complaints were heard that the re-
frigerated beef was not good; that it
had a moldy appearance and an of
fensive odOr." The men had diarrhoea
and vomiting spells which the witness
attributes to the meat.
Capt. d. II. Boughton, Third cavalry.
testified that the canned beef had
repulsive, uninviting appearance. The
proportion Of meat in the can was very
small; the greater part OF the contents
was a repulsive mass Of fat which
seemed to nave been poured in TO fl!
up the can.
