as though public cares sit heavily on him. "
"Did you remark on this change ? "
"Oh , no , but it was noticeable Our Inter

Lieutenant Colonel Sbnrpo vas stationed
at Chlckamauga from April 1"o \ \ July JO of

with Qcncrnl IJrooko In I'oi'o Illco.
The blame for this condition nf things ,
said Lieutenant Colonel Sharpe , leatid on
the shoulders of the regimental commis
saries , -who sent the wagons for the ncnt
without having them prcp'rly cleaned ac
cording to orders As soon ns ho Utrncd
of the nmttnr ho ordered t'io wago'H cleaned
Immediately. The meat Issued to the troops ,

In good condition , but.afur . It Ins been

scribed It was , of course , Impossible for tie
troops to use It.

sitting of the court today , the ovirtetce
given by Lieutenant Colonel S'laipi Icing

llt'iit IN Pit-Mil null Sttee'l.
The first witness called was Major Fred
A Smith , chief commissary of the Depart
ment of tbo Great Lakes It was the duty
of Major Smith to purchase nil the supplies
used by the soldiers , both while In camp In
the various paits of this country , and also
the supplies used In Cuba and Porto Hlco
Colonil Davis asked "Was nny of the
me.it tainted , or had decomposition set In' "
jNo ? , air , " wns the reply "Therevero no
requests made to exchange meat. It was
received with pleasure by those to whom It
was Issued , and r have beard no unfavorable
comments on it whatever. There were never
any complaints iccelvcd with respect to the
canned roast beef , so far as my Knowledge
goes. I saw it used frequently , nnd I ate
It mjself on shipboard and on shore. Not
even any unofficial complaints reached me.
I nrrhcd In New York August 14 and was
ordered to Chicago as chief commissary of
the Department of the Lakes
Major Leo asked"So far as you know
llio canned roast beef or boiled boot was
entirely satisfactory to the troops' "
1 I did not state that lu my testimony : I
said that so far as I knew no official com
plaints or written complaints were made'1
"Was it practicable to have furnished re
frigerated beef fresh to the troops fii their
operations before the surrender ? "
"Yes , sir"
"Was any effort made to furnish It ? "
"Not to my knowledge. "
In answer to questions from Major Leo
the witness said he had heard that some of
the meat was not in llrst-class condition
when It reached the camps , but always
thought that was due to the negligence of
the division commissaries themselves Ho
had frequently seen wagons standing about
for an hour or two after Ibsuo without be
ing unloaded ,
"Do jou wish the court to Infer that the
unsatisfactory condition of the meat was
duo to the neglect of these officers , or to
the conditions under willed they had got
the beef out there ? "
"I presume It was the conditions and the
difficulty of transportation "
"If under the terms of the contract that
beef was to last seventy-two hours , were
there nny facilities in these camps around
Santiago to enable the tioops to carry out
that provision of the contract ? "
"No. sir. "
"Do you believe It was a possible thing
for that beef to last forty-eight or seventy-
two hours' "
"No , sir , I do not "
Oeneial Davis asked"Did jou pass
through the camsp while the troops were
engaged at Santiago ? "
"I did. "
"Did > ou see canned roast beef In camp ? "
"I did "
"Did jou hear an > complaints about the
quality of this canned roast bee' ? "
"I did not. "
.Majot Leo en as-examined the witness as
to the method of handling the refrigerate I
beef In Cuba fiom the time It left the
transports until It reached the troops In
the field. The witness was then dismissed.

Lieutenant Colonel II. I ) . Sharpe was then
tailed Howas In Camp Thomas from
Api II 23 uritll Guneial Itrooko was ordered
to Porto Hlco , about July 10 , when ho was
ordend to accompany him as chief com-
mls3iry of the rirst tioop
Ho was questioned as to the terms fit
the contract with contractor who furnUhel
the beef , ns to the quantltj to bo dollv-
cicd or ready In stock nnd also as to the
manner of handling the supplies by the
brigade conimifcsary.
"The orders required , " said he , "that the
wagons In union the refrigerated boot was
carried should bo very clean and with fresh
haj or straw spiead on the bottom When n
iv agon arrived that was not In a suitable )
condition to carry the beef It was either
sent back or cleaned and put In pioper
blmpc.
"Therewas complaint about the beef on
some occasions , "but " It was because the reg
imental conimlsbailes sent for It In wagons
that were unfit for use. On one occasion ,
when there was complaint that tbo beef v.ns
mold ) , dlscoloied nnd full of maggots , wo
Invest Igattd and found that the condition
hail been caused by the fearful state of the
wagon. The men could not eat the beef ,
eo of course they had to do without ,
"I remembei another Instance where the
wagon In which the meat was curled was
filthy from manure that bad been piovlously
loaded In It. lloth these wagons were 1m- !
mediately ordered to bo thoroughly cleansed.
In neither of theeo eases that I have cited
was the fault due to the condition of the
moat , Jiut bolcly to the filthy state of the
wagons. "
Href Too l.eiiin i\iohiMl : | ,
AVhen asked by Colonel Davis ns to com
plaints against the beef furnished at Chlck-
nmauKa , the wltncM replied that ho knew of
only ono bpcclflo ease. The complaint lu this
case was that the beef was spoiled , but on
Investigation It was found that the meat had
been drawn qulto early In the morning and
allowed to remain In the wagons until 10 or
11 o'clock In the .forenoon. The only thins
wrong noticed about this beef -was that it
was discolored owing to the exposure to the
air.
"Had jou any reason to believe or BUS-
pe'ct during your btay at Chlckamauga that
the beef had been treated with preserva
tives ? "
"No , sir"
The witness then explained to the court
hew fresh beef whs furnished the troops
when they first landed in I'oito Itlco Ho
arrived at I'OIKO about August 3 and was
there about a day while Oeueral Ilrooko was
lu consultation wun General Miles. The
furnlshel the troops nt Ihnt time was
taekn from natlvo eattlo which hail been
purchased In open market. He examined
the beef in the refrigerator room of the
Massachusetts , the ti > inpcr turo of the room
being 30 degrees below zero. The beef was
In perfect ce million and ns far ns he could
Judge iho had no reason to mipposo It had
been treated with a preservative.
"All spoke of the excellent quillty of the
beef , " he paid , adding"A grent many
complaints were received from the troops
as to the native beef. "
In regard to the canned roast beef , lie
said ho had received no formal complaints
while In 1'orto Itlco , but ho had been told
that It was not very appetizing. In pome
Instances the men stated they preferred
roast beef to the natlvo and then again
others claimed the natlvo beef was better.
Inspector on 111 * Out ! < . .
Dr W S Uovolre , chief inspector of the
IUireau of Animal Industry , Department of
Agriculture , was the next witness. He tea-
tilled that there were employed under him
In Chicago tvventy-nlno assistant Inspectors ,
fifty-four Block examiners , forty-live log
gers and fourteen clerks Upon the stock
examiners falls the duly of being personally
present at Iho nbbatolns on killing days ,
making anio-mortem nnd post-mortem ex
aminations of the cattle nnd condemning
and tagging such ns they find to bo dis
eased or from any reason unfit for edible
use. Witness stated that. In mnhlnc post
mortem examinations , carcasses were ex
amined for tuberculosis , Inflammation of the
lungs or Intestines , any disease causing ele
vation of the tompciaturo or any chaiigo
from the normal condition of the animal.
The Inspector must report the number of
animals condemned , the character of the
disease , etc. Stock examiners must bo pres
ent during the cntlro tlmo of the killing
day. The bliicau has Jurisdiction over beef
Intended for export and for Interstate com
merce.
"Can any beef go thiough a registered
packing establishment without undergoing
the supervision of the force under jour
control ? "
"Xo , sir. Independent of Its ultimate des
tination , the carcass Is Inspected by our
bureau licet for canning leaves our con
trol at the canning room , refrigerated beef
leaves our control at the loading platform
Animals condemned at the
nnte-mortcm ex
amination cannot possibly get Into the packIng -
Ing houses. "
"Judging from your visits to the canning
rooms , what kind of beef was canned there ? "
"I have seen nothing except what was fit
for canning. The canner Is a class of ani
mal purchased for that purpose , thinner
than other classes , but good for canning.
In point of wholesomcnrss and fitness for
human footf , I consider the meat excellent. "
AM to bse of I'rc'Mei-v ntlex. .
"During IS9S what opportunities did you
liaro to see If any preservatives were being
used In the meat shipped out of Chicago ? "
"If preservatives were used I would have
known It through Inspectors nnd from my
own knowledge I have never had occasion
to believe , or suspect that refrigerated beef
was being chemically preserved. If any
such process was contemplated thcro would
bo very slight chances of Its escaping my
observation or that of my inspectors.
"I have never found any preservatives In
the water with wtilcli the carcasses are
washed. When nn animal is condemned In
the nnte-mortcm examination the shipper
stands the loss nnd no title to the animal
passes to the packer. Last summer , when
there was a great demand for canncrs , the
packers were compelled to purchase and use
for canning many cattle of the best grades. "
Major Lee asked "Were you not sent
hero In 1891 to Investigate complaints about
bottomless tanks ? "
"Yes , sir. The charges as to bottomless
tanks were not substantiated. "
"Yesr sir. The charges as to bottomless
tanks were not substantiated. The testi
mony came pilnclpally from discharged em
ployes mid was not satisfactory. It was ,
however , pretty well substantiated that in
some packing tiouscs quarters had been re
ceived from the top of the tank and sold
In this market. I refer , of course , to con
demned meat. "
. > oi tin * Armour * .
Subsequently Dr. Devorc said ho wished
It distinctly understood that the firm to
which ho referred as having sold con
demned beef in 1891 wns not Armour & .
Co and that , BO far ns ho knew , their busi
ness had been conducted honestly
"Were not Instances common In 1894 of
diseased cattle being found In the eliam-
hies ? "
"Nc , sir , not to my knowledge. I do not
think there would bo n possibility of a car
cass condemned for lumpy Jaw getting Into
tlio packing houses Our final Inspection is
made In the cooling room. Wo have no
jurisdiction after the post-mortem "
The witness stated his only knowledge of
the use of preseivatlvcs on dressed beef
wns the reading of such experiments In the
newspapers , ho never know that It had been
put to any practical uso.
"Are there not considerable quantities of
chemicals Ubcil In these packing liotises ? "
"Yes ; saltpetre , borax , etc. "
" ' "
"Any acids'
"Not that I know of. The use of chem
icals would not bo n matter over vvhlcQi I
would have Jurisdiction "
"What Jurisdiction , if any , has jour bu
reau over meat shipped from hero to
Tampa ? "
"None at all , afier It leaves Chicago"
The witness said he had never seen the
canned beef used by troops In active serv-
leo In tropical climates and had no knowl
edge as to whether It would be wholesome
under such conditions.
"Has this law under whleh your bureau Is
acting over been passed upon by the United
Slates court ? "
"I think not , "
General Glllesplo nuked"Do j-oti con
sider your Inspection of the canning depart
ment of the packing houses mandatory or
only n matter of privilege * '
"It Is simply a privilege"
Ao limpet-tor at Urndiiatloii.
"Huvo the provrletors | of these Institu
tions over nt any tlmo refused to extend
to you any courtesies of luspectlon ? "
"Never"
"In transit would It be possible for any
one to open the cms for the purpose of
chemically treating the me-at ? "
"Not Without breaking the seal of the
car , nnd that would bo , i violation of law.- "
By Major Leo. 'Do you wish the court
to understand that beef shipped by HIC-FO
companies to bo supplied to the troops at
Tampa could not be taken from the car ex
cept by an order from the government Inspector
specter nt Tampa'1
"We hnvo no Inspector at Tampa. The
cars would doubtless bo opened by the con-
tractoi "
The labels on the canned roast beef have
no reference to any Inspection beyond tlie
Inspection of the carcass , they do not relate -
late to the canning proper , do they 7"
"No , sir , that Is correct "
Ore H G I'axson , W A. Bennett nnd
A. N. Kaspcr , as the Inspectors of the Iu- )
reau of Animal Industry , testified as to the
various duties of that olllce. Their testi
mony was corroborative of that given by
Dr Dovore.

The heaviest snow storm of the season
struck Omaha Saturday morning anil for
hours clouds of lleecy particles sifted earth
ward. Toward evening It grew n trlllo
colder and Instead of the PIIOW packing
where It had fallen , drifts were plied up
across the walks that rendered them prac
tically Impassable , The flakes cut the faces
of the pedestrians as they trudged wearily
along , anvlous to reach their homes Tor-
tunatoly It was not very cold , so that the
belated wayfarer did not surfer materially an
that account.
Karly risers Saturday morning looked for
ward to n damp , disagreeable day , ns it
promised to bo cloudy nnd to drlrzlc at In
tervals Gradually , however , It grew colder ,
the rain changed to sleet nnd then nt 0
o'clock snow commenced to drift down upuu
the damp walks , which were boon covered
A stiong wind was blowing , but the snow
wns too heavy to drift , besides It was still
too warm for the vanguard of the storm
changed to water as it struck the earth.
The storm was so persistent and steady
that few people came down town who were
not compelled to do their Satuulay shopping
1 hose on the streets met the snow good-
naturedly , ns It was not very dlsagieexblo ,
and remarked concerning the variableness
of March weather. Toward night the streets
became moie descited than during the aftei-

streets did not keep a largo crowd from find
ing Its way to the theaters.
Darkness was falling when the snow- be
gan to drift and the wind to blow clouds
of white across the paths and In the faces
of people who wore on the streets No spot
appeared to bo sacred fiom intiuslon by the
elements. Pedestrians sought the mlddlo of

The staid , dignified citizen who Is In the
habit of walking slowly and unobtrusively
to his home , thought It no rellcctlon upon
his llfeloni ; hnblt to breast the storm with
the vigor of an eager boy anxious to reach
his destination. Men actually trotted or
wcio blown down the streets , while women
who wcie detained down town were swept
along the sticet , their umbrellas acting as
huge sails to assist them on their way. Be
tween the hours of commencement and 7
o'clock in the evening 3 2 Inches of biiovv fell.
By 9 o'clock at night , however , It looked ns
If the fall had grown much heavier , as the
walks vwere blocked In places by drifts three
and one-half feet In depth.
The wind increased from a velocity ot
Klxtecn miles in the morning to an cx-
tieme ot thirty-live miles , although Its driv
ing povvei appeared much greater because
of the flakes which struck one's face with
a force that was blinding , because the eyes
were closed Involuntarily to protect them
from the sting of the mischievous little
particles.
The street cars were not Impeded during
the day , but toward nightfall the snow
plows wore sent out to clean the tracks
and to keep them open If possible. Within
a couple of hours after dark the cars on
the north and south lines found that they
would have to stop or else remain snowed
up for the night. At S o'clock trafuc be
tween Omaha and South Omaha was aban
doned. The other lines endeavored to re
main in operation an hour longer , when
they , too , ceased the struggle. The Far-
nam and Hartley street lines were more
fortunate. The snow plow was kept In
operation en thobe streets in older that
belated citizens might be borne home. Cars
ran In sections , as it waa impossible to
Keep to their time. As the night grew
older the rails became more slippery on
account of the cold , which gradually bccnmn

bureau announced that the minimum of 11
degrees above ? ere hid been reached Thio
waa a fall of about ten degrees In twelve
hours.

Hackmen found that It was an excellent
night for them from a buslncts standpoint ,
although hard on them and their hordes to

dreds of tickets had been sold for the thea

tlon to attend as it was the last opportunity
of the bcabon to bee Sol Smith Hussoll.
Then owing to the inability of the cars
to reach the depots , with nny regularity
outgoing travelers were compelled to rebort
to carriages to roach the stations
There were no complaints fiom the rail
roads untl/ toward evening , when doubts
wcro ejipregsed conccining the likelihood of
tialns getting through on time. All trains
had arrived or departed on time , but when
it began to drift so fiercely It was feared the
tralllc must bo ceased temporarily.
