WASHINGTON. March 4. The beet court
of Inquiry wound up Its week's work with
a half day's session today , having ex
hausted Its list ot witnesses now on hand.
There may bo some witnesses at the Mon
day session , but the court will start for
Chicago early next week , probably on Tuts-
day or Wednesday.
Just before tlio close of the session today
a volunteer wltncbs presented himself , but
was not accepted. Ho were an army uni
form and said his nntno was rrauk Rundis ,
late of the Third Nebraska , Ilrjan's rcgl-
tnont , and that ho had recently been hon
orably discharged from the service and
was on his way home. Ills story was , in
brief , that ho had served In the company
kitchen with lilb command in Jacksonville ,
and that during a long period when the
men wcro living on refrigerated beef there
was so much Intestinal trouble among the
men that the IESUO of this meat was stopped
At another tlmo ho got hold of some 10-
frlgerator meat In the kitchen that was
ot such a peculiar color that the attention
of the company officers waa called to U.
The Burgeon in charge examined It , so
Hundas alleged , and remarked that the meat
waa "all right , but had been prepared to
send to Porto Rko , and slnco It had been
issued the nien had as well use It "
Doota't AVaiit HiiiiiliiN.
The meat was cooked , but all the men
who ate It were made sick. Thu Inference
drawn was that this was some of the same
Porto Rico beef that Dr Rllcy had ana-
llzcd and alleged to bo chemically treated
Rundas said ho was on hh way home , but
had stopped off In Washington to offer \hls
Information to the court of Inquiry If It
thought It worth hearing. Ho presented
hlnifielf to Colonel David , the recorder ol
the court , but was told that ho would not
bu wanted as a witness.
On bolng asked soon afterward whether
Rundas was to bo called , or why ho had
been rejected , Colonel Davis said :
"I know nothing about the man Ho has
on a uniform , but that is uo pi oof that he
Is a fcoldlcr or has been There are all
sorts of cranks and Impostors who come up
liero and want to testify. As to this man ,
If ho can Identify himself , and the court
directs mo to call him. 1 will do so"
Counsel for General Miles will Inquire into
the antecedents ot this witness , and , if ho
appears to bo wliat ho repiebents , ho will
bo called.

Louis IX Hunter of the Sixth Massachu
setts and regimental commissary while in
Porto Ulco. said the men ate a large amount
of native fruit aad bananas raw or cooked
wtilch became almost n staple artlclo of
food. 1'robably " per cent of the sickness
was duo to fruit. Cross-examined , witness
said the men did not use over 5 per cent
ot the canned beef after reaching Porto
Ulco They traded the lest to the native
storekeepers. On the march he had seen
irany mwi throwaway the beef after making
ono meal out of the can.
Major George W. lluthers of the com
missary department , who had supplied the
Seventh army corps with refrigerator beef
while at Jacksonville , said ho had never re
ceived a complaint. The meat had been
rigidly inspected and showed no evidence
of cuts or punctuies or anything else that
might give rise to the suspicion that It had
been chemically treated At Jacksonville he
had Issued a general circular to the Seventh
army corps calling attention to the fact tint
beef or vegetables furnished and not com
ing up to specifications were to be returned
to the commissary officers Issuing them ,
even if the defect were not discovered until
the food reached the company camp.
Major Lee took up the cross-ejLamlnatlon
and developed the fact that there had at
times been complaints as to the beef , and
that in one case 800 pounds of beef had
been condemned Witness said he had three
olllclal complaints of Iho beef at Jackson
ville.
"I understood you to say , " said Major
Lee , "that jou had never had a single com
plaint as to the refrigerator beef. If I am
wiong I would like to bo corrected. "
"You are , sir , " replied the witness.
' 'What I said was that I had handled
11,020,000 pounds of refrigerated beef at
Savannah without any complaint , the com
plaints were made at Jacksonville. "
Lieutenant Colonel Curtis Guild of Dos-
ton , who was attached to General ntzhugh
Lee's staff as inspector general of the Sev
enth Army corps , said In opening that he
had alieady been before the War Investi
gating commission and had made two very
careful repot ts on the subject , ono by order
of Inspector General Hrecklnrldge , both of
which are on file In the War department.
Ho submitted to the court that these reports
being accurately compiled from official data
would bo belter evidence than he could give
off-hand.
"Wo will , of course , call for jour official
report to the War department , " said Colonel
Davla , "but , " ho added very positlvelj ,
"your testimony befoio the war commis
sion will not bo available for us"
CoiiilfiimtMl II ! , ( Kit ) rounds.
WItnebs said that of the canned roast beef
he had unofficially condemned 42.000 pounds ,
which had been transshipped from New-
Orleans before it was delivered to the army
In Jacksonville Ho explained that a largo
shipment of canned roast beef had arrived
at Jacksonville In very offensive condition
Ho had picked out offensive smelling cases
amounting to 12,000 pounds and called In
the Jacksonville health olllcer , who con
demned It as a public nuisance , thus giving
him tlio right to destroy It at once , in tbo
public crematory.
Airnour's ' agent , who was on the ground ,
asked leave to telegraph his homo office and
quickly received word from his firm that
H would be very glad to take back the whole
shipment and furnish good beef In Its placo.
This was dono. The boot had been sent to
New- Orleans by Major West , the qommls-
sary olllcer there , but there was no stamp
or other means on the packages to tell by
what army olllcer the beef had been In
spected and accepted. U was stamped by the
Duroau of Animal Industry. Witness had
subsequent ! ) made Inspections ot Tc.\as beef
killed In Cuba in the last few months.
He had made chemical analjscs and bac
teriological examinations of the canned roast
beef made , in Cuba , and ho had made per
sonal comparisons between lefrlgerator beef ,
native Cuban cattle and Texas beef killed
In Cuba , which had and which had not
been In cold storage. His experiments had
been made as fairly as possible with refer
ence to practical conditions. His opinion
waa that the best beef wo could got In Cub.i
was Amcilcan cattle and refrigerated as
near the spot it was to bo used as possible.
"l-alhl > Sia.-ll. "
Quartermaster Sergeant Sullivan of the
Ninth Massachusetts had been through the
vSantlago campaign and came to the stand i
full of the memories of canned and rofrlg- |
crated beef. The former , he said the men
barely tasted. Thu latter ho started In to
describe as n strange und gruesome article ,
unlike anything he had over seen. Ho said
It had a "deathly smell. "
Hero lie collided with the recorder wlu
Insisted on having a strict definition of a
"deathly smell. "
Witness got as far as saying th it the
"dcathlj smell" was different from the smell
of a decomposing body , but hero the recorder
demanded n statement of the mechanism ot
decomposition aud a list of the gases which
would bo evolved.
The wit ness thereupon wont to pieces and
reduced his whole statement to saying , "the
beef was veiy bad , " and on this refused
to bo shaken.
The Hot of witness having been exhausted
the court adjourned to 10 o'clock Monday.

LINCOLN , March 4. ( Special. ) Superin
tendent Iloxlo of the Kearney Itoform school
has filed his ( timer lu the case In which
ho denied the right of John C. Sprcchor to
take charge ot the Institution. Hoxlo
claims that his own appointment was made
without limitation , that he can bo removed
only "for cause , " that ho has n letter from
the gov ci nor dated Januarj IS of the pres
ent jcnr confirming him In the position ,
that the appointment of Sprechcr was made
wlillo the senate vvnu In session and was
not confirmed by that bed ) , mill , finally ,
that thu law purported to have been passed
by the leglslatuio of 1807 putting the ap
pointing power in the hands of the governor
ically never passed the leglslatuio und was
ono of the Joblot of bills put on the staluta
books by the clerks of the icform session
The evidence Is clear that the bill re
ferred to did not pass , and that In reality
the appointing power never was taken out
of the hands of the state board. If the rase
should bo won on these grounds Iloxlo could
hold on until removed for cause by the
state board.

L1NCOKX , March 4. ( Special Telcgirtin )
The senatorial situation today Is In stain
quo. The reason Is that nearly nil , legis
lators and workers , ha\o deserted the city
for o\er Sumla } , and thn hcadfiuarters ol
the different candidates have been tempo
rarily closed.
Viewing the events of vostenlay and last
night from the standpoint of today , it Is ap
parent that the opposition to Hayvvat-d Is
just as llrmlj united as It was before Thoinp-
srn withdrew , the force bolng puiposcly
scattered among the candidates last night
with the plan of finally combining them on
Homo candidate whoso exact Identity Is not
jet dlsclcucd. The story that Mr Thomp
son and his backets are nt n dleagrootnont
as to who Is to bo supported Is not generally
believed.
Just as llttlo belief U put In tlio story th.it
Mr. Thompson's wlthdraval Is for the tlmo
only and that ho will reappear In the lists
after thu forces ha\o become acaltcicd.
Men who are close lo Thompson , and who
ought to know. Insist that ho has withdrawn
In earnest , and while ho may continue tn
wield an influence over his supporters , ho
will not allow them tooto for him fur
ther.
Some llttlo talk has boon occasioned by
the expectation that Senators Thmston and
Allen would be hero the llrst of the week
Opinion la dhided as to the possible clTect
their personal Influence would have on tlio
alieady complicated situation. These who
have expressed themselves , however , pio-
fesa to believe that Senator Thurston will
not care to take a hand In thu light , but
will pursue tliu policy of leaving the elec
tion of his colleague to the free choice of
his party as represented through the men it
elected to the legislature.

MUSKOGEn , I T , .March 4 It is re
ported heio that Isparhecher , principal chief
ot the Creek Indians , is dead at Okmulgee ,
capital of the Creek nation. The rumor can
not bo verified. Okmulgeo is quarantined
on account of smallpox , which Is epidemic
there. Isparhecher is a full-blooded Creek
Indian and for four jears has been the prin
cipal chief of his people. Kver slnco ho
became a leader among the Creeks , Ispar-
hocher has fought all legislation tending
to change the tribal conditions in the ter
ritory and only recently ho was practically
forced Into giving his consent to the ne
gotiation of the treaty between his people
and the Daw PS comn Ibslon. The sterling
honesty and the indomitable will of the
aged chief made him much respected , both
among Indians and whites.

favorably to his letjuest to ap

named Generals nt/hugh Lee , Wheeler ,

It was a bitter disappointment to the War
department that the roqucot ot the president
for authority to appoint ono additional
major general of regulars should have been
negatived. It was the purpose to n.imo for
that honor General Shafter In older that h"
might- retire with the laurels ho has won
The general must be ictlred by law on the
IHh of the present month and must go out
with only a volunteer commission. It Is the
purpose to give him at least this.

JDFFRRSON CITY , Mo. , March 4 ( Spe
cial Telegram. ) Atchlson county , Missouri , I' ' , t
and Nemaha county , Nebraska , have been
quarreling tor thirty years over the posses
sion of a tract of land known as McClfcsock'a
Island that came Into existence in 18i7 !
through a break of the .Missouri river. This
Island Id now on the 'Missouri ' sldo of the
l '
river , but Nebrabko. Btlll claims it. The <
land that was never overflowed belongs tn
Nebraska according to the laws governing
riparian rights , but who controls the old
channel Is the question. The old riverbed
gruws the biggest corn In the country and la
counted as tlio best of farm lands. Dotli
counties have fought over the taxes on tlila
land and both have had trouble with crim
inals who hldo there. To settle these
problems Representative Hall has Intro
duced n bill to appropriate $5,000 to pay the
expenses of a suit in the federal courts to
settle the boundary line question for all
time. Missouri had a similar dispute with
Iowa several jcars ago and lost it In Ilia
federal courts.
