Farley and defeated the head of the repub

say at present. ROBERT McKlSSON.
MayordeiFarley , In an Interview , said :
"My election simply means that the people
of Cleveland want honest government ; that
they are tired of McKlssonlsm , and are op
posed to pillage and blackmail. "
Congressman Burton , who supported Mc-
Klsson , sald : "Tho defeat of Mr. McKlsson
can bo attributed to a factional fight In our
party. Of course the charges of corruption
had much to do with It , but , after all , fac
tionalism did the work. "
"What Is the cause of factionalism ? " was
asltcd.
"Oh , there can bo but one answer , and
that Is the Columbus episode of a year ago.
Mr. McKlsson made the mistake of his llfo
In trying to thwart the will of his party. "

AA'ASHINGTON , April 4. Dr. AVlllIam H.
Daly was the first witness before the beet
Inquiry court today. He was a medical mem
ber of General Miles' staff In Porto Rico
nnd had previously testified before the court'
and was recalled to complcto his testimony
then begun. After relating the extent of bis
service-with General Miles , Dr. Daly stated
In icbponso to questions from Major Leo
that ho had been made president of various
.
national medical societies of the United
States and a member of foreign societies In
recognition of scientific investigations by
himself and without any asking on his part.
Dr. Daly's testimony dealt on this occa
sion , as on his first appearance , especially
with the beef supplied 'to ' the army. Ho had ,
ho said , madd sufficient obscivatlons to war
rant him In submitting an official report ,
ind after that tlmo he had made an analysis
which had confirmed his suspicions as to
the meat. His first observations had been
made on a transport at Tampa before the
Balling of the expedition to Santiago , when
Colonel AVcston Invited his attention to a
quarter of beef hanging on the deck , Colonel
Weston'a only remark was : "Here's a quar
ter of beef which has been bunging hero for
slxtj- hours In the sun ; we are going to see
what It will do. " i
No reference was made to preservatives.
His ( Dr. Daly's ) attention had Immediately i
been aroused. "I was rather pleased , " ho |
said. "I felt that If the beef could bo preserved - ] ,
served ao long U was a good thing. " i
He then cut off a picco of the beef and
ookod and ate It next day. After that he
Docamo sick at the stomach , but ho had not
Felt convinced that the meut had caused the i
ulcknesa.
.lli'iil IN ThriMtii Ovcrlinard ,
After some reference to his stay In Poito
Itlco , Dr. Daly detailed the particulars of
the trip north en the transport Panama last
3eptcmb r , which was In Ills charge. Tbo
vessel had been provided on setting out
A 1th the best obtainable refrigerated beef ,
but tbo vessel had not gonu far before It
became evident that It was not good. Ho
lid all that ho could to quiet the complaints ,
Jut they Increased and the stench soon
jrow so stiong that It pervaded the whole
hip , The odor was indescribable. Ho at
ast ' buggested a board of survey and ono
being ordered It had condemned the meat
eft ' , about l.COO pounds , and he had It
ihrown overboard. I
Hero Dr. Daly took occasion to pay his !
TupectB to the war commission , before
ivhlch ho had appeared. Ho said the com-1
nlsslon had given out the Impression that
ho deterioration of the beef on the Panama
\aa duo to want of Ice. This was contrary
o ' his testimony and the truth could casllx
mvo been ascertained. As n matter of fact
ho Panama had on excellent refrigerator' '
md . It carried ten tons of Ice 10 ono of beef. ,
lo also referred to the criticism In the war
(
ominlsslon of bis use of the expression In i
ils report that the smell about the beef was
Iko the odor of boric acid. 'It Is , " he said , I
'as difficult to say what a smell Is Ilka as
t Is for an aitlst to paint a d > lng groan ,
f the phrase was offensive , " he added , "I
night have adopted the language of the eol-
llors , some of whom said it umelt llku the
levll , while others compared It to a bouquet
if cesspools "
Dr. Only ald ho had vlnco made ex-
lerlmenta upon beef nubjected to treat-
uent by boric acid and had found U gave
ortb about aa foul a smell as could -Hell

( Major Leo then read various reports made

by Dr. Daly concerning official Inspections
of the beef nt the camps nt Jacksonville ,
Lexington and Chickamuuga11 these
stated that the moat ucNl generally looked
well , but there was a universal complaint
of its smelling badly. Ho had found the
fresh beef to bo apparently prceeived by
the Injection of some chemical which de-
strojed Its natural flavor and which must or
necessity have been injurious to the health
of three eating It. It was to his mind
Impossible to preserve the meat without
the use ot ucldts and apparently the meat
had been preserved by the Injection of
ohemlcaU to aid iho work of defective cold
storage. "
In one ease he had found the odor similar
to that of a dead human body , nnd In an
other , speaking of the odor , ho bald : "It
was unnatural , mawkish , sickly , like that
of a , buman cadaver after an undertaker
bad Injected his embalming preservative. "
'
He was satisfied that the beef had been
chemically prepared that It had 'been ' em
balmed , In fact. After hU reports had
gone In he had , In order to satisfy hU own
mind , made a chemical analysis of n resi
duum from the beef used on the Panama
and had found distinct evidence of thp
presence of boric and salyclllc acids. Hu
then referred again to the report of the
war commission. In vvhloh reference bad
been made to the use of these drugs , the
Intimation being that a trace of them would
not bo Injurious. Replying , Dr. Daly ns-
fccrted 'that ' the chemicals wore detrimental
' to health and they could only bo used at
the peril of these taking them.
O'lieniluiilN Are Unmife.
"No matter what authority sa > s these
chemicals are safe they are not safe , " said
Dr. Daly , emphatically.
Hero Dr. Daly Introduced a Joint report
made by Dr. Clark , chief chemist , nnd Dr.
Hlldcbrnndt , chemist of the geological survey - i
vey , on an analysis made by them of '
residuum from the beef used on the Panama. [ I
In this report they sold they had examined
the powder furnished by Dr. Daly.
"Both the Ilamo test and the turmeric
paper test glvo distinct evidence of the
presence of boric acid , " they eald , "We 1
also obtained good reaction with ferric I
chloride , showing the presence of bullcyllo
acid. "
In response to a general question , Dr.
Duly said ho had como Into much Informa
tion confirmatory of what he had testified
to , but which hud come to him In n confi
dential way , rendering it Improper for him
to glvo thu names of those supplying the
facts. In truth , a ban had been placed
upon thu Information. Ho thought that
some .forty or fitly persons had spoken to
him In corroboratlon of what ho had said.
These viere the proprietors of slaughtering
houses and the manufacturers of chemicals.
One manufacturer had told him that ho ,
would have been compelled to go out of
business but for the patronage of the beet '
men. Ho said after sonio questioning that
ho would ascertain whether ho could glvo
the names of these people to the court.
In a cross-examination 1jy Colonel Davis ,
Dr Daly said he had heard nothing when I
ho had made his first observation at Tampa '
In response to Colonel AVcbton's remark to
the effect that any chemical had been used
on the beef which the colonel had hung In
the sun. Ha said ho had preserved the
specimen frum tha beef on the Panama In
an aerated brittle , locking It In a port- |
manteau. Ho had given the specimen no
treatment except to reuiovo thu fat by
filtering through raw cotton. Asked If ha
was still aa much convinced as when ho
made his report of the quality of tbo beef ,
ho Bald : "I am strongei In my convictions
than I ever was , from the unsolicited evi
dence that has como to me since thu report
was madu. "
Mlli-H OITerMiiiu * and li lilence.
After Dr Daly had completed his testi
mony Major Leo submitted a written re
quest from General Mlloa for the admission
ot the clilclal reports of 147 men , represent
ing twenty-six regiments , as testimony It
was said theze reports all bore upon the
question of the character of tbo beef sup-
jjll"d to the army and were pertinent to tbo
Llvor nnd Kldnoys "My mother won
very sick with congestion ofl the liver anl'

Inquiry. It ivas also stated by Major Lea
that General Miles had at yesterday's bcj-
slon of the court submitted the names ot
123 o Ulcers and enlisted men whom bo Jo-
sired < to have the court summon as wit
nesses.
Dr. Udvvln I. Nlcod mus of Philadelphia ,
a surgeon In the Porto Ricau campaign ,
testified that both the canned roast and
refrigerator beef were very unsatisfactory.
Dr. W. S. Devoo of Chicago , an Inspector
of the Agricultural department , who In ,
1S94 mndo an inspection of Uio packing
houses of Chicago on complaints , was called
to testify concerning ihls report , which
could not bo found.
Ho proved a very unwilling -witness , sayIng -
Ing that liej saw no reason why statements
concerning facts of four nr live years agu
should bo brought out hero to the detri
ment of the business of a firm , which baa
since , so far as ho knew , obeyed the law.
r'
The court Insisted , however , nnd ho said '
that the firm of Nelson Morris & Co. was
the ono which had been especially investi
gated. The testimony lind been given
mostly by discharged and dlsgi untied em
ployes and wus to the effect that the car
casses of caUlo had been taken from the
tanks nnd placed on the local market.
CoiiHlder Mllrn' ReiJiieNt.
During the afternoon the board sent a
reply to General Miles saying It would take
tlio matter of his proposition to supply
moro witnesses under consldciatlon , hut In
timating that the board did not require
further testimony relating to the canned
roast beef.

that the honor of the Bcrvlco was at stake.
Ho added that 25,000 men , nnd no doubt
many moro , could glvo evluonce substantiat
ing the assertion that the meat wus unfit
to cat , and he expressed the liopo tliat out
of this number 131 whoso * names ho Ima
