P. S, Bond.

Gen. Mackenzie. chiefl Of engineers. has
received a communication from First Lieut.
z. s. Bond, Corps of Engineers, stationed at
Buffalo, detailing the circumstances con-
nected with the accident which befeu
Major Theodore f. Bingham at Buffalo on
the 10Th instant
"a launch was built for the lighthouse
department" says Lieut.. Bond "by Mr.
William Keefe of Buffalo. On the compile
ton of the hull on the 10Th instant it was
towed to the south pier, Buffalo river, OPP
poste the depot store house of the tenth
lighthouse district. AT this point breast
derrick with hand power was erected to
moist the launch out of the water. 10. The
lower sill of the derrick rested on two 6 inch
by . inch 1oists set on the ice on the pier
and guy ran from the top Of the derrick to
the window of the depot store house. The
launch was weighed while hanging from
the derrick. It's weight was about fifteen
hundred pounds Just as they started to
hoist the launch out of the water one of
the Joists on which the sill of the derrick
rested began to slip on the ice. This caus-
ed the top of the derrick to slue around. AS
the Joist continued to slip the top of the
derrick still attached to the guy described
a wide spiral sweep. 1t struck Major Bing-
ham in the small of the back. knocking him
down on the pier. and then fell on top of
him. crushing his left leg and pinning him
under the derrick. One other man, Quar-
terpaster Peter Diffley of the lighthouse
tender Warrington, was also pinned under
the derrick"
Lieut. Bond then describes the removal
of Major Bingham to the Buffalo General
Hospital, where an opera ton on the in
Jured limb was performed by DIR. Roswell
Park, who gave the following account of
the officers injuries:
There We're two compound fractures of
the left thigh. near its lower end, one of
them involving the knee joint and simple
fracture comparatively insignifcant) just
above the ankle. on the same side Some
six or eight large pieces of lone were re-
moved and the remaining portions of the
bone near the knee were brought into con-
tact, necessftating shortening of the limb
RadiograIhs were taken and the leg placed
in a plaster cast
Doctor Park stated that the injury was
exceedingly serious, but lie added that the
chances of anputation or death We're ex-
ceedingly remote. He further stated that
it would be six months before Major Bing-
ham could with safety resume active duty
DR.. Gaylord. who attended Ma ior Bingham
after the operation stated that he would
probably be on his back for two months
He further stated that on final recovery
Major Bingham would have the use of his
leg and be able to walk and ride but that
his knee would be stiff. Since the opera
hon, says Lieut.. Bond Major Bingham
has been very comfortable. He is able to
sleep naturally. has very little fever and
is feeling cheerful

INDIAN BILL IN THE SENATE.
Measure Read Almost Through for
Committee Amendments.

The Indian appropriation bill was in the
Senate yesterday during most of the day.
The bill was read almost through for COM
mittee amendments. most of which We're
agreed to. but there was more less de-
bat on various provisions.
Late in the day Sena or-elect Dick of Ohio
appeared in the Senate chamber, the frsi
time since his election. He went direct to
Senator Foraker's seat and was cordially
greeted, but their conference was cut short
by the announcement of an executive ses-
sion. from which Mr.. Dick. not having yet
taken the oath of office. was excluded IN
der the rules of the Senate.
After The Stars report of the Senate pro-
ceedngs closed yesterday afternoon
the chair sustained a point of order made
by Mr.. Money against the committee
amendment authorizing the comm .ssioner
of Indian affairs TO exercise supervision of
the renting of homesteads and surplus lands
by the Creek, Choctaw. Chickasaw and
Cherokee Indians in Indian territory.
The provision requiring the recording of
all leases of land by allottees of the five
civilized tribes was also declared out of
order and was eliminated from the bill.
The provision authorizing the Secretary
of the Interior to dspossess lessees claim
ing under leases obtained through fraud
or by inadequate consideration also was
stricken from the bill.
There was discussion of the Senate
amendment providing for the payment of
Sl00G00 to the Chippewa Indians on ac-
count of the difference between the value
of coin currency paid to them between
1s43 and 1873, but the provision was al
lowed 20 stand because the provision was
in accord with the treaty between the
United States and the Indians The treaty
required payment in coin. whereas the pay
ment was made in greenbacks worth about
co cents the dollar.
Without completing the reading of the
bill the Senate. at ) pm, went into execu-
tive session, and at 5:13 p m. adjourned

Only a Suggestion.

BUT TT HAS PROVEN OF. INTEREST AND VAL
uE TO THOUSANDS
Common sense would suggest that IL one wishes
to become tieshy and plump ii can only result from
the food we cat and digest. and that food should
be aIbuminous or flesh forming food, like eggs,
beefsteak and cereals: in ether words the kinds ~
food that make flesh the foods which form the
greater part of our daily bills Of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat enough
and generally too much, the stomach from abuse
and ogerwork does not properly digest and as
s.milate it, which is the reason - many people
ranlain thin and under weight; the digestive or
Gans do not completely digest the fesh-formins
beefsteak and eggs and similar Who'll olss9me food.
There are thousands of such who really con-
frned dyspepties, although they may have no
particular pain Inconvenience from their stom-
acbs.
If such persons would lay their prejudces aside
and make regular practice Of taking after each
meal enc two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly dieested.
because these tablets contain the natural pep
tones and diastase which every weak stomach
lacks, and 10y supplying this the stomach is
enabled to regain its natural tone and igor
Stnarts Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form Of
fesh-forming food, meat, eggs, bread and pots-

BEEF TRUST INQUIRY
INVESTIGATION BEING MADE BY
THE BUREAU OF CORPORATIONS.
Whether the Results Will Be Published
Depends Upon the Decision of the
President-Martin's Resolution.

The Department of Commerce and Labor,
through the bureau of corporations, is max
ing an investigation. into the operations of
the so-called beef trust" part of the
investigation is being conducted in accord
ance with resolution recently passed by
the House of Representatives. Prior to
the adoption of the resolution the depart
ment, through its regular channels, had
collected and tabulated certain information
regarding the beef trust
The resolution, which was drafted by
Representative Martin of South Dakota,
requested the department officials to as
certain, If possible, the cause of the differ
ence in price between beef on the hoof and
dressed beef 1t was pointed out that west
ern stockmen believed that they were being
disseminated against by the trust and that
the markets of the country were being ma
nipulatd to their detrimeut
Gathering the Data.
In order to obtain the precise information
called for by the resolution of the House
the department is conducting the investiga-
tion When it is collected and arranged it
will be transmitted, in accordance with
law, to the President, who will make such
hkely that some, perhaps all, of it will be
sent by him to Congress, if Congress should
desire it.
Neither Secretary Cortelyou nor Commits
sloner Garfield Of the bureau of corpora
t1ons will discuss the investigation in any
way. 1t is made perfectly clear, however
that this investigation, as we'll as all others
conducted by the department. will be made
by the officials of the department them
selves without outside assistance; that the
department will not stoop to detective work
In the conduct of the inquiry, and that the
proceeding will be devoid of any spectacu-
lar features. There will be no public hear
lngs and publicity will be avoided so far as
possible.
Working Quietly
The pending investigation is being con-
Quoted by Commissioner Garfield under the
direction of Secretary Cortelyou. Beyond
that fact practically nothing is obtalnabe.
No statement has been issued by the de-
partment, and none will be made. The
scope and precise character of the inquiry
are not known, and the names of the agents
who are operating in the field are not dis
closed. Whether the results of the investi-
cation are to be made public at its conclu-
sion will depend entirely on President
Roosevelt. He will determine absolutely
whether they are to be made public and
whether they are to be made the basis of
any action by the executive
