" The paper then asks the government to seot In the negotiations pending , that Ger many la accorded equal rights with Eng land. In conclusion the Kreuz Zcltung re marks : "England's success In Samoa at Oermany's cost would bo the worst business England has done for the last hundred years. The Tageblatt expresses confidence that neither Grout Britain nor the United States will override legitimate German rights and maintains the government possesses In formation to the effect that no such attempt wilt be made. Tha Cologne Gazette publishes letters from its correspondent at Samoa. The latest , dated February 18 , rehearses the old complaints against Chief Justice Chambers , who Is charged with overstepping his func- lens toward Dr. Rneffel , and Herrcn Fries 'and Von Duclow. Tbo correspondent also claims that the landing of the blue Jackets nnd marines from the British cruiser Por- polso In the Grovesmuhl affair was injudi cious and calculated to make matters worse. According to thin correspondent the whole attitude of the British representatives was wrong nnd the rigid non-Interference of the German war ship Falke In the native quar rels was the only correct ono. The Gazette corrects several of the cor respondent's statements , but maintains that Mr. Chambers' attltUJa , has been Incorrect. The general tone of the , press , In com menting upon the recent occurrences , Is one of distrust , both of Great Britain and of the United States , and their ultimate in tentions. In this the , German newspapers have seemingly been confirmed by specials received from the United States , all of which assert that the American press and people desire a serious encounter with Ger many. IIcllcvcH In Ainlenlilc Settlement. The Influential centrist Cologne Volks Zcltung prints a New York special , warn ing Germany against the belief that the anti-German sentiment prevailing in the United States Is of small account. It as sorts that war against Germany Is dally preached nnd "may lead to doplorabla re sults if the American government does not check this In time. " The government semi-official press , however - over , remains calm and dignified and Insists Hood's Sarsaparllla Is prepared today under the careful personal supervision of those who originated it. Every ingredient is the best of Its kind. All the roots and herbs used In It nro gathered at the seasons of their greatest medicinal value and arc ground in our own Laboratory. Buying in enormous quantities wo have the first choice of the entire markets of the world. Hood's Sanmparllln Is a modern mcdlclno whoso combination , proportion and process are pe culiar to Itself , producing a remedy unap * preached by any other blood medicine , as clearly proven by cures effected , often when others have totally failed , and by Its enor mous sales far exceeding any and all similar preparations , all claims to the contrary not withstanding.

The appearance of the so-called Aleppo bolla on many gentlemen nnd ladles who accompanied the emperor nnd empress to Palestine caused much anxiety until the real nature of the trouble was * fathomed by the doctors.

The army beef Inquiry court continued the examination of members of the medical corps of the army today. Major Blair B. Taylor , In charge of the hospital at Fort McPherson , said the beef furnished the hospital v > as all of excellent quality. Major Charles L. Hclsmann , who was In command of the general hospital at Mon- tauk Point , -testified that nil Intestinal troubles there wcro attributed to malaria and not to food , The food question did not arlso at all. Lieutenant Colonel Calvin DeWltt , In charge cf the general hospital nt Fortress Monroe , said that very few Intestinal dis eases were treated at that Institution and that those wcro net attributed to Insufficient or poor diet. No canned beef wns used. Major W. n. Hall , who was In control of the general hospital at Key West , had had no cxpcrlenco tlioro with any canned roaster or refrigerated beef. Ho attributed the In testinal diseases generally to the fact that the men had 'been ' exposed to n tropical cli mate. He heard1 some complaint that the men had been short of rations In Cuba nnd they were much run down. Major H. P. Burham told of the condi tions at the Pence general hospital , of \\hlch ho was In charge. He had used both icfrlgcratod beef and canned roast beef there , as well as the native beef. It wns necessary to use the native beef the day It was killed to prevent spoiling and the refrigerator beef wns preferred to the na- tlvo article. Ho had found the canned beef satisfactory In stews nnd had heard no com plaint concerning it. Typhoid was the prin cipal disease , but there wcro many cases of dysentery and diarrhoea. The latter cases ho attributed generally to the eating of the natlvo fruits and not to the meats. All told , only about 120 cans of beef had been used. The refrigerated 'beef ' used v ' .s taken from the cargo cf the Manitoba. Some of It re quired to bo trimmed , but ho considered it good food. Food 1Mot to Ultimo. Major George H. Torney , who had charge of the hospital ship Relief during the hos tilities , said that about 00 sick men had been transported on the vessel and that he did not attribute any of theeo cases to the use of Improper food or to the Want of food. Ho had never used canned roast beef. The refrigerated meat had been used and had given entire satisfaction. Ho did not believe that any chemical preservatives had been used on the beef , but attributed the discoloration of the surface to the coagula tion of the albumen and tissues of the meat. 'Major ' D. M. Appel told of his experiences during the war at Mobile , Miami and In New York. He had been In charge of the hospitals at the two first named places and of the distribution of the sick. He had heard many complaints from the men and the surgeons concerning the meat supplied , especially on the transports , and he thought It probable that some Intestinal troubles I had been 'thus' caused. The surgeons complained - i plained especially of the lack of proper food I for -tho sick. * j Mr. Greenleaf W. Simpson of Boston , | present contractor for supplying beef on the block in Cuba , and who Is largely In terested In live cattln , stock yards and re frigerator lines , related his experience In connection with the letting of contracts for supplying beef during Ihe Spanish war. He had been prepared to put In a bid and pre vious to the opening of the bids had had a conference with General Eaean , who was n personal acoualntanco , nnd who had wired for him to cotno to Washington on June 8. Mr. Simpson said be had In 1837 visited Cuba as a food commissioner for the United States for the purpose of' Investigating the supply of cattle Inthat country. He had Informed the general that he considered It Impossible to use refrigerator beef In Cuba , explaining the conditions and difficulty , and Eczema - - "My daughter had eczema and It affected her eyes. The doctor said It was Incurable. Her skin is now smooth and white and all on account of Hood's Sar snparllla. I have taken it for \\cakncss and can now walk three or four miles easily.1' Mrs. E. A.

The next morning , when ho called , the general had told him that ho must purchase refrigerated beef for Cuba , but ho did not Indicate that this position was taken al the Instance of any superior officer. Ho ( Mr. Simpson ) had not , therefore , put In A bid. I'rnc of I'rpMertntlvoN. Ho also stated that ho had had moro or less talk with General Eagan and with the agent of Armour & Co. concerning the use of preservatives. This question was dis cussed In n general way with Mr. Eagan , who told him that some Investigations being nirulo In the south In that direction. Ho had inferred that the experiment was made 'both ' in the interest of the govern ment and the packers. Mr. Simpson said that elnco that tlmo ho had made n bid , which had been ac cepted , for supplying beef on the block to the Inland points In .Cuba nnd that ho was now engaged satisfactorily In that work , securing - curing his cattle from Texas , the United States of Colombia and Venezuela. Ho also tttatcd that he had had considerable experi ence In shipping beef abroad and that re frigerated beef generally thought about 2 cents per pound less In the London market than beef from the live cattle shipped over. The witness did not believe It possible to keep beef in n good condition out of a re frigerator for twenty-four hours. It would change In appearance In two hours and mold soon afterwards. Ho thought the proper way to supply the troops In Cuba wns to have refrigerator plants In the Ulnud nnd kill the beef there each day. Lieutenant William B. Conrad of the Twenty-third Infantry , who had charge of the cooking of the mess on the transport Indiana , said the refrigerator beef had kept good for about two weeks , but that after this tlmo It became so badly tainted that many of the men would not use It. A num ber of them also objected to the canned roaffbeef. . The Indiana carried fresh food supplies for Admiral Sampson's fleet , but much of them were spoiled by the beef. The odor from the hold wns like that from n horse that had been dead for a week or two and was so strong that the men would got out of the way when the door was opriiied. Eight thousand pounds were thrown overboard , but the remainder was Issued to the fleet , though considerable of It was tainted.

Grannls nnd other stockholders and creditors. The application was granted nnd Judge Gibson appointed the following named ofll- clals of the road as receivers ! 11 L. Mar tin , vice president ; Robert Glllham , general manager , aud J. Mel ) . Trimble , attorney , all oit thJo city. Corsldcrnblo mystery seems to surround the affair. President A. E. Stlllwoll of the road , when telephoned nt his homo nt 1 o'clock this ( Sunday ) morning , denied any knonlcdgo of n receivership. It Is bello\ed the receivership Is a friendly one. Interext Cannot He Met. Tiho Interest today amounted to $375,000 nnd It could not bo mot. When this'fact bccnmo known a movement was Inaugurated to secure the appointment of n receiver who would bo specially friendly to the eastern Interests of the road. This move was check mated by the prepuintlon of the papers for the appointment of local receivers. Judge Gibson was applied to late tonight. Iho petition for the appointment of n re ceiver wns signed by Charles A. Brnley , E. F. Silver and John A. Eaton of the law nrm of Trimble & Braley. The outstanding debt of the system is J23.000.000 of bonds. Thu Interest today amounted to $575,000. The equipment of the system amounts to $40,000 or $50,000 per month , which consumes the earnings and diverts them from the Interest fund. Only Inlii I , I no InvoUetl. The receivership does not Involve any In terest of the Port Arthur system other than the main line of the Kansas City , Plttshurg & Gulf railroad. The northern lines , Kan sas City Suburban Belt and the Port Arthur Canal and Dock company , together with other Interests , nro sold to be upon a firm financial basis. The financial troubles that have Involved the Plttsburg & Gulf nro directly attribu table to the fight against the completion of the canal , as It deprives the railroad of terminal facilities nt the gulf for moro than a year nnd compels the company to use the Galvcston , which necessitated giving up a very largo share of the revenue that would ordinarily accrue to the road. E. L. Martin said tonight : The application was made In order to prevent the road from falling Into the bauds of some ono as receiver whom we know noth ing about and whose methods of handling the property could only become known to the stockholders as events 'brought ' them about. We are certain wo represent the sentiment of the great majority of the stock holders in our scheme for reorganization and consolidation. I nm confident In five or six months the receiver will have affair ? squared up. " C. A. Braloy said : "I received an Inti mation today that a move was on foot when the Interest -was defaulted to secure the appointment Of an eastern receiver. We then ddterravlned td Keep the road In the hands' of Its friends and in the place where It was originated. It Is n. Kansas City en terprise and Kansas City receivers should control 1U destinies.

Two weeks of deliberation have resulted In an harmonious understanding between the Order of Hallway Telegraphers for the Union Pacific system and the management of the road. A new agreement has been rnado which Is similar In all respects to the ono made with the receivers of the Union Pacific five years ago which had expired by limitation.
