Notwit hstanding all the D,mo-

of the terrible thugs that the mann
moth standing army Of ninety-odd
thousand men will be able to do to
this pigmy nation Of 100000
people, there we're only six Repnb-
licans who voted against the Hull bill
when it passed the house, and rs an
offset four Democrats and one. Popu-
list voted for the bill. The total
vote was l6S to 1875 The bill was
amended before being passed 40 as
20 give the president authority in
his discreet lou to reduce the total of
the regular army 30 not less than
so, 600, and ALSO to abolish the
army 'canteeu." Leading senators
express the opinion that the Hull
bill will be passed by the senate with
out substantial change, but the time
tor action is growing very short and
she friends Of she bill will not be easy
an their minds until the senate has
passed it, They know how easy it 10
for n strong nsinOrity to hang bill
up In the senate.
The most important diplomatic
Htterance III Washington for some

STIRRING BAD BEEF.
COURT OF INQUIRY STILL PROB
ING FOR DOORS.
(By Telegraph to virginia-Pilot.)

(By Telegraph to Virginia-Pilot.)
Chicago. March 21-The government
Court of Inquiry to-day examined two
witnesses with reference to the beef
question-Dr. Nicholas Sem and Lieu
tenant Colonel a. w. Corliss. DIR. Sem
entirely disapproved the canned roast
beef as an army ration for any length
of time, and Colonel Corliss told of the
soldiers dislike Of ii. The court will
hold an all-day session tomorrow, cx-
pecting to leave for New York to-mor-
row evening or Thursday morning. The
remaining witnesses Will be those sug-
gested by Major Lee in behalf of Major
General Miles.
DR.. Sem, of Chicago. who served in
Cuba and Porto Rico, testified that the
troops in Cuba lived largely on canned
roast beef and bacon. He had every
reason to believe that the canned beef
was not roasted. but boiled. 1t was
tasteless and certainly appeared to lack
nutritious qualities, as was apparent
from the condition of the men who re-
turned from Cuba to NIontauk-men
who had never been i'll but were great
ly emaciated. He believed that the
meat was overdone-that there was
some fault in the process of prepar;l-
tion-that the process has not been per-
fected. The bacon was of good quail
ty. He could say nothing about refrig-
orator beef because he did not see any
OF 1t in Cuba and Porto Rico. He made
no formal inspection of the canned
roast beef, but had eaten some of it.
and his statements were based upon
his own experience.
In reply to General Davis, the witness
stated that the meat as prepared by the
packers, according to the Testimony
given, would not lose much of its
nutrition on account of being boiled in
the cans. He saw no evidence of the
use or chemicals in the canned roast
beef. He had heard of cases of ptomoine
lntoNlcation, but did not see any.
Ptomaines would not developed if the
meats were thoroughly sterilized and
properly scaled. When opened tho
meat should keep twenty-four hours.
1t would not be safe to eat if after tina I
time. N'''
Lieutenant Colonel A. w. Corliss who
was attached to the Seventh Infantry
IN CUBA testified that he was shot on
the LIST of July and knew nothing of
conditions there after that.
up to that time" he said tive ROT
good deal of canned corncd beef and
canned roast beef: also bacon in small
quantities. Complaints were received
about the roast beef: it was dislil.ed
very much. The officers and men had
the same rations. We tried to eat the
canned roast beef, and did eat it. But

HE ADDRESSES THE MASSACHU-

(By Telegra PHI 10 N!rClnlnn- pllotl

(By Telegrap PHI 10 Pilot.I
Boston, March 2l.-Major General
Nelson a. Miles visited the Legislature
this afternoon. Each branch took n re-
cess after GeneUal Miles had addressed
them. during which the members were
presented to the visitor. Just after
leaving the State house one of the aft
ternoon papers. containing the an
nounccment that Mr. Sherman had
tied, was shown to General Miles. I'm
fortunately the contradictory report
was not received for some hours Ia ter.
and while General Miles expressed his
intention of carrying out the days pro-
gram Mrs. Miles requested that her
numerous engagements be cancelled.
This was done, and she returned to
the hotel very much depressed. \ few
hours later representative of the AS
socated Press brought her the welcome
news that Mr.. Sherman was still alive.
The sudden change from sorrow to joy
almost staggered Mrs. Miles, and with
tears in her eyes she thanked the re-
porter for the good news, saying that
Mr.: Sherman had been a father to her
for many years.
In the meantime General Miles brave
ly stood the test of hours of handshak-
ing at the Algonquin Club previous to
the banquet in the same club house by
the Merchants Club, dining organIza-
ton.
In the midst of the festivities the AS
sociated Press dispatch was shown
him and he expressed joy at the good
news. and begged that the dispatch
be sent at once to Mrs. Miles. This
had already been done. and after
thanking the Associated Press for its
courtesy he again gave his attention
to the numerous speeches and delivered
his own with far more fire and zest
than he had anticipated
