Crouse was to-day appointed postmaster at Castle, Randolph county, Indiana, vice J. T. Warren, resigned.

Washington, D. C., March 31.—The forenoon session of the army beef inquiry’ board opened with a number of officers of the medical corps of the army present, who had been summoned as witnesses. Col. Charles R. Greenleaf, chief medical Inspector of the army, who was the chief surgeon In the field during the Spanish war, and was with General Miles In his Porto Rican campaign, was the first called to testify. He said that while in Cuba, on his way to Porto Rico, he had been able to give no attention to the food supply of the troops, but while In Porto Rico he had looked Into the question of food to a certain extent, but only Incidentally. He there heard of no complaints of importance, except os to the character of the cooking. He had eaten some of the canned roast beef, and did not relish it. "It was not pleasant to the sight," he said, "and it was mawkish to the taste without condiments, such as salt and pepper." In reply to the question as to what effect the use of this meat as food would have upon the health of troops. Dr. Greenleaf said: "The effect of its use would be similar to the use of ail canned meats. If good and prepared with condiments and vegetables, and not used too much, it might be eaten without detriment. If spoiled, It would produce sickness, or probably If used steadily, the system would not accept it- It would, if used dally and without condiments or vegetables, pall on the appetite, and the taste would revolt against it.” He had found that in the hot climate of Porto Rico the meat did not keep long when opened. He had not taken the food In question into account in connection with the health of the. troops, attributing the sickness solely to the climate. Coi. B. F. Pope, chief surgeon of the Fifth Army Corps in the Santiago campaign, testified concerning the food supply of that campaign. The hard bread he found good and the canned vegetables generally so. The canned .‘beef, “wrong ly labeled roast beef," he did not speak of in such high terms. Accepted as a Ration. “We accepted it as a part of the ration,' he said, “and ate it as well as we could: but it was unsatisfactory in appearance, and entirely lacking In flavor. It was also stringy and tough, and in some cases it decomposed, causing the cans containing it to swell. 1 also noticed that it deteriorated rapidly after being exposed to the air. The great trouble seemed to be the lack of facilities for cooking the beef. It was not so bad In the form of stews or as hash as when eaten, as It was necessary it should be, by the the soldiers in the held without cooking or preparation in any way. Taken in that way, it was very unsatisfactory diet. In appearance it was bleached and washed-out. It looked like beef from which beef tea had been made. It has struck me since that the nutritive qualities of the beef were ex traded in boiling, and my personal opinion is that as food it possesses a very low order of nutritive value. It was a very trying food unless eaten with the eyes shut. “The roast feature of it,” he added, "was all in the label—not In the can." He had been unable to trace ary disease to the use of the food in Cuba, but he thought that the use of the canned beef would tend to weaken men. "After the command became broken down by the disease.” he said, "the canned beef became unendurable, and caused dysentery, which became very common.” Upon the whole, he would not advise the use of this food in the tropics, and he thought the bacon ration would have been better. Most of the canned beef used at Santiago bore the label of the Wilson Packing Company. Ptomaines were, he said, characteristic of canned meats, and they might exist without being easily detected. The refrigerated beef, Dr. Pope pronounced good.. The troops had been compelled to trim off spoiled parts, but after this was done, and the meat nicely cooked, it was very palatable and nutritious. Maj. Louis A. LaGarde, in command of the reserve hospital at Siboney, stated that the canned roast beef had been furnished at his table, .at the hospital, and to the patients. "I was not especially fond of It," he said, “but as a substitute It took the place of fresh beef. When we could cook it with vegetables, it was far more palatable than otherwise. The patients In the hospital used the canned meat regularly, and there was no especial complaint about it. There was considerable diarrhea, however. and I presume much of this was due to the use of this meat The ration contained more meat than It should have contained In that climate." — o—— A Had Dog Scare. Chicago, March 31.—At Lawndale, to-day, four people were bitten by a dog supposed to be mad. The animal was killed after a long chase.

Undoubtedly there should be, and there will be, many public meetings the country over to protest against trampling under foot fhe rights of a brave people struggling for their liberties, the violations of the principles of our own constitution and of the declaration of independence, and the continuation by th* American people in the costly and ruinous path which has brought other republics to ruin and shame, which will dishonor labor, place intolerable burdens upon agriculture, and fasten on the republic the shame of what# President McKinley has so lately and so truthfully declared to be criminal aggression. But I think it will be wiser to have meetings of that character a little later rather than Just now. We do not yet know whether the present war for the subjugation of the people of tne Philippines le to continue indefinitely or whether there is to be a speedy submission to the overwhelming power of the United States. If the war shall shortly be ended, we shall then be abl* to discuss the question of our national duty free from th* disturbing influences which exist always when the country is at war. If, on the other hand, the war shall long and indefinitely continue, the people will begin to feel the burden of Increased debt and increased taxation, the loss of life and health of our youth and the derangement of trade and peaceful industry.” After quoting some personal experiences growing out of his position. Senator Hoar says: 'The blood of the slaughtered Filipinos, the blood and the wasted health and life of our own soldiers, Is upon the heads of those who have undertaken to buy a people in the market like sheep or to treat them as lawful prize and booty of war, to impose a government on them without their consent, and to trample under foot not only the people of the Philippine islands, but the principles upon which the American Republic Itself rests ” Continuing, Senator Hoar refers to the pledges of the country toward C iba and the President’s declaration that any other conduct on our part would have been "criminal aggression," and continues: "The laws of righteousness and justice oi* which the great and free American people should act, and in the end. I am sure, will act, depends not on parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude or points of the compass, it ts the same yesterday, to-day and forever. It is as true now as when our fathers declared It In 1776. It is as binding upon William McKinley to-day as it was upon George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. The only powers of government the American people can recognize are just powers, and those powers rest upon the consent of the governed. Remain Unebnllenged. "No mam during this whole discussion has successfully challenged, and no man will successfully challenge:— •*L The affirmation that under the constitution of the United States the acquisition of territory as of other property, is not a constitutional end, but only a means to a constitutional end, and that, while the making of new States and providing national defense are constitutional ends, so that we may acquire and bold territory for those purposes the governing of subject peoples Is not a constitutional end, that there Is, therefore, no constitutional warrant for acquiring and holding territory for that purpose. "X That to leave our own country to stand on foreign soil is in violation of the warnings of our fathers and of the farewell address of Washington. "3. That there was never a tropical country governed with any tolerable success without a system of contract labor. "4. The trade advantage# of the Philippine islands, if there be any, must be opened alike to all the world, and that our share of them will never begin to pay for cost of subjugating them by war, by holding them In subjection in peace. "5. That the military occupation of these

tropical regions mu*t be kept at an 1m mense cost both to the souls and the bod-, les of our soldiers. “A That the declaration as to Cuba by the President and Congress applies with stronger force to the case of the Philip-

pine islands.

"7. That Aguinaldo and his followers, before we began to make war upon them, had Conquered their 1 own territory and independence from Spain, with the exception of a single city, and were getting ready to establish a free constitution. "8. That while they are fighting for freedom and independence and the doctrines of our fathers, we are fighting for the principles that one people Aay control and govern another, in spite of Its

resistance, against Its will.

"9. That the language and argument of those who object to this war are, without change, the language and argument of Chatham, of Fox, of Burke, of Barre, of Camden and of the English and Am rioan Whigs, and the language and argument of those who support it are the language and argument of George III, of Lord North, of Mansfield, of Weddertraro, of Johnson and of the English and American Tories. ‘TO. No orator or newspaper or preacher, being a supporter of this policy of subjugation, dares repeat in speech or in print any of the great utterances for freedom of Washington, of Jefferson, of John Adams, of Abraham Lincoln or of Charles

‘The question

row considering about to deal, is

the American people are and with which they are not a question of a day,

or of a year, or of an administration, or of a century It is to affect and largely determine the whole future of the country. We can recover from a mistake in regard to other matters which have Interested or divided the people, however important or serious—tariff and currency and revenue laws, even foreign wars—all these, as Thomas Jefferson said, ‘are billows that will pass under the ship.' But if the republic is to violate the law of its being, if it is to be converted into an empire, not only th* direction of the voyage Is to be changed, but the chart and the compass are to be thrown away. We have not as yet taken the irrtvct sble step. Before ft fis taken let the vclce of the whole people

be heard."

FOR COUNTERFEITING.

Cknrles

Moses Arrested barre, Pn.

at Wilkes.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 31.—United States officer* to-day arrested Charles Moses for counterfeiting. He was sent to Jail in default of $8,000 bail. A big counterfeiting outfit was found in an outhouse at his home. It is the apparatus used by a gang of men who have flooded New Jersey and the eastern part of this State with countsrfeit dollars and haifdollara. George C. Csepalas, the leader, was captured some time ago, and is now In jail at Pittsburg. Others are under more ‘ ,r '“ u «-

Why Women Are Nervous. [British Medical News.] The frequent cases of nervous prostration or utter collapse of the nervous syst*m under which women “go all t* pieces," as tins saying is, have caused much thought and investigation on th* part of physicians. Certain Inorganic substances are well known to cause various forms of nervous diseases which are readily traced to the poiaors producing them. Further research leads to the belief that alum is a prevailing cause of so-called nervous prostration, for the symptoms it produces on the nervous system after its absorption Into the blood are very remarkable indeed. Experiments physiologically made upon animals by Orflla, Professors Hans Mayer, Paul BeJxn and others show that alum frequently produces no visible symptoms for many days after Its Introduction Into the body. Then follow loss of appetite md other alimentary disturbances, and finally a serious prostration of the whole nervous system. The most prominent physicians now believe that “nervous prostration ’ and many affections of th* nerves from which both men and women suffer are caused by the continued absorption of alum into the system. It Is probable that many medical men are unaware of the extent to which salts of alumina may be Introduced into th* body, Being under the impression that the use of alum In bread is prohibited. Alum, however, is still used surreptitiously to some extent to whiten breed and very largely in making cheap kinds of baking In families where baking powder ally used great care should be to procure only those brand* cream of tartar. The alum powddra may generally be distinguished by the lower price at which they are sold.
