Witness pleaded not to have the mat- ter taken out of his hands, but a com promise was effected by deciding that Dr. Daly be present with the offi I chemist, and it was arranged to h: Professor Clarke of the Geological q\.lr- vey here examine the powder. At the afternoon session Dr. Daly un-| j derwent a rather severe cross-examina- | | tion, especially on the subject of the| date on which he had reported &s to his | suspicions in regard to the beef and why | he had not reported sooner. Dr. Daly said he had never discussed with any | officer thé subject of bad beef. I stead of commenting on such matters | he had rather attempted to allay dis- | content with the meat. While at Chi amauga he had found meat which 2p- | peared to have been treated as indi- | cated in his report. At Jacksonville beef beef, @ to he had inspected | hile of good appearance, had “an unmistakable odor.” The cooks | there said that much seasoning was| required to overcome the unpalatabl ness of the cooked meat. In regard to his report on the ques- | . | tion of the meat furnished the army. | Dr. Daly was asked whether it had ! been forwarded from army headquar- | ters to any person interested. He re. plied that in his cpinion the mafor zen- eral of the army "was the person most | likely to be interested. | Dr. Daly was at Tampa about the| 30th of May. His suspicions in regard to the beef, he said, were aroused about the 17th of June. He reported this fact in August. Mr. Denby asked where, in his opin- ion, an officer had performed his duty when, knowing that the beef supplied ! the army was detrimental to health, , he had concealed that fact and had not | reported for many weeks. s Dr. Daly replied that he had re-| ported upon the facts in a regular v\av: |and after mature deliberation. | could not, he said, “howl about it (oh every one he met.” Mr. Denby, still following up this' | line of interrogatory, asked whether he | would have treated a patient as he had treated the soldiers of the army. | 1 “You are on trial now, doctor,” con- | | tinwed Mr. Denby, “on trial before the | country. l To lhls the witness protested vigor- | ously that he was not upon trial, and | that the country would never put him | on trial. i | found anywhere. OVERBOARD T0 FEARFUL DEATH TragicSuicide of Charles Burke. Correspondence of The Call. - HONOLULU, Jan. Burke of San Francisco committed sui- cide on the morning ofsthe 7th inst. by jumping from the deck of an island steamer into the sea. The vessel was Off the coast of Hawaii at the time. The body ‘was not recovered. Undoubt- | edly Burke was insane when he took his life. The young man recently ar- rived at Hilo on the bark Amy Turner. After spending a few days in that town | he left for Honolulu on the steamer Claudine. On the trip down he devel- oped symptoms of insanity. A watch was kept on Burke's movements, but without success. He broke away from | an officer of the ship and jumped over- board.

His last words were, “Give the money to mother in San Francisco.” A big military instruction camp on the uplands above Honolulu is the lat- est proposal by the military authorities, and correspondence with the War De- partment is now under way.

SACRAME\TO Jan. 20.—The magni- | ficent group of statuary, “Columbus’ | Last Appeal to Queen Isabella,” sta- { tioned in the center of the rotunda of | the State Capitol, has been defaced. The | work is one of the most striking pro- | ducts of the chisel of Larkin Gold- | smith Meade, an American sculptor of | world-wide fame. It was fashioned at the sculptor’s studio at Florence, Italy, ! on the order of a prominent New York merchant. Disaster overtook the mer- chant before he could give the statue the place of honor in his art collection and D. O. Mills took it off his hands. In that year, 1883, Mills presented the group to the State of California, and it | has since adorned the rotunda of the ‘Capxml The group is cut from an im- | mense solid block of marble of the | purest white Italian variety. Its cost | was $10,000. The figure in the group which has been most admired, is that of the page, who is kneeling beside the Queen in an attitude of expectancy. The delicately chiseled fingers are outspread, bent | gracefully at the joints, lending to the figure a rare charm. Somebody has broken off the first two fingers of this page, and the handsome little Spaniard | has the appearance of having been up | against Shafter at Santiago. The mu- | tilation is almost as pitiful as though | somebody had lopped off the head of | the Queen herself or had trimmed with | a meat ax the overgrowth of hair upon | the head of the discoverer. It was thought at first that the loss | of the page’s fingers might have been | accidental, but the State janitor said | this afternoon that if this were the case the pieces should have been found | in the railed inclosure which the group occupies. No such pieces have been found. It is thought by some that the act may have been committed by some tprecious crank who imagined that he | was thereby adding to the woes of | | Spain, while others advance the sug- | gestion that some disappointed affice seeker or discharged employe may have knocked off the fingers. Meade, who carved the beautiful work of art, produced the colossal| statue of “Vermont,” which crowns the | dome of the State House at Montpelier. | His statue of Lincoln for the Presi- | dent’s monument at Springfield, Iil., was placed there in 1874.

B AWSO.y Dec. 11, via Seattle, Jan. 20.—A new Gold Commis- sioner arrived in Dawson on the 6th, and the news spread over the entire district with great rapidity as an event to be cele brated. The administration of the Gold Commissioner’'s office has been open to much criticism, which it has received without stint, since the very beginning of the Klondike excitement. The miner and prospector have been embarrassed by it, irritated and over- reached in a hundred ways, insomuch that confidence in the Government which they looked to for protection in ir rights was gone. Thomas Faw- cett, the retiring commissioner, is cred- ited by many with honest intentions and personal integrity, but there are very few who do not openly charge that the administration of the office un- | der him was abominably corrupt. L. E. Senkle, who succeeds him, is 33 years of age, a lawyer, formerly of Tor- onto, but later of Nelson, B. C., in the heart of the Kootenai mining district. He has created a =zood impression and his administration begins auspiciously. J. E. Boldus and R. H. Baker arrived with the commissioner and will be giv- en places in the office. The weather since the 1st of Novem- ber has ranged at from 30 to 57 degrees below zero, remaining for a week at 44 below. On the 6th inst. the mercury suddenly rose to above the freezing point, and on the 7th there was a slight drizzle of rain. The Indians say that about twenty years ago the Klondike ! overfiowed its banks in midwinter, but there is no other record of rain during the winter in these far northern parts. Facilities for reaching the outside by boat continued so late in the fall that it was supposed nearly all of those de- siring to spend the winter on the out- side had availed themselves of them and that few would subject themselves to the hazard, toil and discomfort of | the long journey over the trail. Every | day, however, sees a dozen or more start away up the river to the south- ward. The men who undertook to corner provisions are getting the worst of it. Some of them bought butter at as high a figure as $2 50 a pound. The article is on sale now at $1 25 a pound. Prices | are continually ranging downward. An effort at combination wasrecently made by the restaurant keepers to Keep the | price of a dinner up to $1 50, but it failed. The announcement was made on behalf of dollar-and-a-half-meals, | and this price was asked for generally throughout town one day, but trade fell off so sharply that the next day a man with a dollar could buy a dinner. Two bits will buy coffee and dough- | nuts, coffee and pie, or a large bowl of | soup with bread and butter. Restau- rants, bakeries and Ilunch counters | quoting these prices are more numerous than the saloons. Bread is sold at six big loaves for a dollar. Sales of pro- visions, the remnants of outfits of those | going out, continue nightly, and prices range low. And yet there is such destitution in the district as to have induced the call- ing of a meeting of Americans, which was held in the office of Consul General McCook on the 6th inst. The Consul reported that he was constantly being asked for assistance by men who claimed to be in absolute distress and unable to obtain work. Hundreds of men are reported to be in this lament- able condition, with the long end of the | dark and bitter winter before them. The Salvation Army post here reports a long line of appeals. The army has erected a log-cabin “shelter” and its | capacity is nightly put to the test, the applicants being required to pay for bed | and supper bv sawing wood. The hospitals have been crowded with indigent “patients until the Good Sa- maritan _was so steeped in debt that it threaténed to close its doors, and was prevented from so doing only by aid from the Government. Both pub- lic hospitals—St. Mary’s and the Good Samaritan—are now compeiled te re- fuse non-paying patients. It is esti- mated that no less that $9000 a month will pay the expenses of treating the SAM W. WALL. Albert E. Hodson, Oregon City, ty- tle, September 2. , Canada, September 1. Norman A.

Committees were appointed on finance and to draw up resolutions and the memorial. H. T. Roller, the agent for the Seattle- Yukon Transportation Company, who goes out on business, will carry the memorial to Washington. The Government here declares itself out of funds for the purpose of relief. An entertainment was given at the Monte Carlo Theater a few nights ago for the benefit of the destitute, at which the Yukon Commissioner, or Governor Ogilvie, made an address, which was an ‘appeal to the rich to aid the desti- tute. The referee at a Saturday night glove contest, which failed in exciting incidents, won loud commendation by declaring the event “no contest” and turning the box office receipts over to the hospital. There is a great deal of sickness in the hospita.- . and the summer death rate is mai. «ained. The rate, consid- ering all things—the unhealthy condi- tions, the poor food, the dark, unven- tilated cabins, the lack of proper reme- dies and treatment incidental to life and death in an isolated country—is not. large. It is impossible to obtain a com- plete record of the deaths, for until within this month no official record has been kept. The three undertaking es- tablishments scarcely make a note of the transaction if their bills are paid in cash, and even the hospitals keep but an imperfect record. There are three cemeteries for burial, in either of which no permit is required. A man is engaged to dig a grave, and, that cere- mony being over, the mourners dis- perse, and that is all there is to it, ex- cept where the grave is marked. The process of-digging a grave is similar to the first step in digging -a mine. A fire is built and the surface thawed and removed. The fire is re- newed and the few inches of thawed earth is removed as before. This is repeated until the required amount of earth is removed, the process some- times taking a week. Scurvy is becoming very prevalent again, especially in the mining area. Charles Schmidt, an old man suffering with the trouble, lay in his bed at Bo- nanza three days unable to help him- self before his cries brought help. He was finally brought to the barracks and placed in a hospital. J. Hillman, after a somewhat similar experience, was prought in a day or two ago from Dominion. A number of cases of partial freez- ing have been reported. L. Madison, from Forty Mile, suffered the amputa- tion of both hands and feet on Novem- ber 26. He was picked up in a semi- conscious condjtion by the captain of the Rock Island No. 2, wintering there. Madison is a man of strong physique, and, having no desire to survive his terrible mutilation, is refusing food in his wish to die. He has a brother at jorty Mile who owns some valuable mining property. ‘Work in the mines here is progressing ‘busily and steadily, but there is nothing notable to report concerning it. The same may be said of the mines on the American side. A vast area is being prospected this winter and the develop- ments of next spring will tell a wonder- fully interesting story. .000000000000000000 0000000000000 | interpellated | in the case it should be proclaimed to RIS WL 8 FETRNED | Pretext Found by Court of Cassation. I Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Jan. 20.—According to the Siecle the Court of Cassation intends to conclude the inquiry by confronting Captain Lebrun- Renault, who was in charge of Dreyfus at the time of his de- gradation, with Dreyfus himself. The necessity for confrontation is advanced as a pretext to jus- tify the return of Dreyfus to Paris. The court also proposes, ac- cording to the Siecle, to have the bordereau dictated successively to Dreyfus and Esterhazy, whose handwriting will then be com- pared with the original docu- ment. J0000000CLO00O0000TD PARIS, Jan. 20.—The Chamber of Deputies to-day plunged into another Dreyfus debate. M. Breton, Socialist. the Government qn the subject of the package of dipiomatic | papers among the documents in the! Dreyfus case, and asserted that the former Minister, Rambaud, speaking at the agricultural show, declared the members of the Meline Cabinet were aware of the forgery of the late Lieu- tenant Colonel Henry. The statement caused great excitement among the Deputies, in the midst of which M. Me- | line, who was Premier in the Cabinet in which M. Rambaud was Miaister of Public Instruction, and Dr. Barthou, who was Minister of the Interior in the same Cabinet, rose and formally char- acterized the statement as false. M. Meline added that the day he was first | aware of the Henry forgery was when M. Cavaignac, the formsr Minister of | ‘War, announced its discovery in the | amber of Deputies. The speaker fur- | her declared that a revision of ihe trial was unnecessary and that he had noth- ing to retract. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Del Casse, said the so-called ultra ecret dossier which had been com- | municated to the Court of Cassation contained no letter from Dreyfus to a foreign sovereign. He added that there never had been such a letter to the knowledge of the agents who had been| in the service of the ministry during the last decade. As to the suggestion that it contained letters from a foreizan sovereign to Dreyfus, the Minister said | he did not believe that any authenticity could be credited to such documents. (Applause.) Continuing, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said he, as well as every one connected with the Foreign Office. was entirely unaware that any such docu- ments had been manufactured. as al- leged, but even if such were the case the forger would never attempt to offer | them at the French Foreign Office for, however naive the diplomatists ht be supposed to be, they would never be | simple enough to accept or place value upon such merchandise. (Applause.) M. Meline, the former Premier, for- | mally reiterated that neither he nor| any member of his Cabinet was aware | of the forgery of the late Lieutenant | Colonel Henry and congratulated him- self that he was not responsible for the revision, as, he added, there was not a new fact to warrant it. The speaker further remarked that if there was an innocent man condemned 0000000000000 00000C0 the world; but the country only saw in the Dreyfus affair a systematic and perfidious campaign against the army. “The partisans of re\islon " the for- mer Premier said later, “should cease to join hands with the enemles of the army.” This remark caused a violent uproar among the leftists, M. Meline adde “The campaign against the army is capable of beinz incontestibly proved.” Later the order of the day pure and simple was accepted by the Govern- ment and was adopted by a vote of 480 to 51. M. Breton and M. Mellevoye, Nation- alist Republican and managing editor of the Patrie, sent seconds to one an- other, owing to insults exchanged dur- | ing the sitting, but the seconds decided that there was no ground for duel.
