That Bad. Bad Beef !
Commissary (ieneral Eagan
Reerna (o be in trouble again. lie
wa? recalled Wednesday to ap
pear before the court of inquiry,
Washington. J). C. While bis tes
timoiiv was not startling, "lie
modified a former statement to
the effect that the twenty-four
hour clause in the beef contract.
Had crept in as a clerical error,
flaying that in the multitude of
matters which had been demanding
his attention at the time he
had forgotten its insertion. His
understanding was that the beef
wan to keep in good condition
seventy-two hours alter being
taken Irom the ship's refrigerator.
His principal reason tor insert
ing the clause stipulating that
the beef should be good twentyfour
hours after leaving the re
frigerator was that he did not
wish the troops to know that the
i i?n 11... I r..?> i.-? i' ? I. ? * I

would keep seventy two hours
for fear that it would not keep so
long."
From the evidence given (Jen.
Eagan seems to he, to a certain
extent, to blame. Out of the 21,000
pounds of canned roast beef
brought to Porto Uico on the
steamer, Manitoba, and receipted
foy. 0,000 pounds were condemned
as unfit for use. In his testimony
Major Black sa>s :
"1 called upou Gen. Eagan to
confer with him concerning the
conduct of our affairs at. Ponce.
He asked me why the refrigerator
beef was not issued at Ponce, and
1 replied that it was because the
issue commissaries did not want
it, as they were getting native
beef. Thereupon General Eagan
became very much excited, and
exclaimed : -God damn their.,
they have no right to refuse it. 1
consider it the best ! f in the
United States, and, God damn
them, I have made them take it.' "
This is a bad stato o! affairs.
While the people of the United
States were being taxed to pay the
expenses of this war the men who
volunteered were bein^r fed on
rotten beef. When complaint was
made, they were told with an oath
that this beef had to be used.
Those wjbp have to bear the bnr
den of this expense do not
expect the/ men who vol
unteered t6 be treated in this
/ manner.

The New York clearing house
has lately adopted new rules as
to exchange on bank checks. The
only checks not charged for is
government checks, State of New
York, and city of New York, Boston,
Providence Rhode Island,
Albany, and Troy, N. Y., Jersey
City, Bayonne, Ilobukon, and
New Ark, N. J., Philadelphia and
Baltimore.
For checks payable in Connec
ticut, Delaware, District of Columbia,
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Missouri, New
Hampshire, Nesv .Jersey, New
York, Ohio Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont, Virginia West
Virginia and Wisconsin, the collecting
bank charges not less than
one tenth of one per cent and all
other states one fourth of one per
cent, but in no case is the charge
to be less than ten cents.
The penalty it is said, is made
very heavy for any failure to
comply with these rules. So
depositors may prepare themselves
to pay exchange on checks
for collection and add exchange
to those sent in payment of bills
The American troops have got
out ot the jungles, and now have
a clear country to operate in. The
latest dispatches from the Filipinos
indicate a successful advance
of our troops.
Uncle Sam has another job on
his hands, which may not prove
to be an easy one. The turn of
affairs in Samoa is very uncomfortable,
and likely to terminate
in war with Germany. Whatj

GREAT FIRE IN COLUMBIA
Opera House Destroyed and Central
Bank In Danger-Loss Estimated
at $80,000?Insurance,
$30,000.
Special to The Daily News.
Columbia, March 30.?The city
operahouse, the most conspicuous
building in the city, with three
stories and a tower, was burned
tonight. It is in ruins, the walls
having collapsed, and is a total
loss.
The operahouse and the city
offices were on the second floor,
and there were stores and offices
on the ground floor beneath. McKav'f
barge grocery establishment
was in the corner store.
The loss on nnera house hnild
? ~ r -r- f-r ?
ing, scenery, etc., city offices and
books and supplies and McKay's
grocery are estimated at a total
of $80,000. The insurance is
about $30,000. The heaviest loss
will fall on the city, which owned
the building.
A desperate tight was required
to save the Carolina National
Itank building, next door, occupied
by the bank and the Wes
tern Union telegraph office. This
building was saved, but the telegraph
office was gutted.
Telegraphic communication
cut o/T. This is sent by the cour
lesy of tbe (Southern Kail way
company which allows the use of
its lines.
i ho electric light wires are nlso
down and all (lie lights in the
city are out.
There is no further danger now
of spread of the lire, which is the
worst Columbia has had since the
surrender in 1805 and has caused
excitement and alarm throughout
the city.
To Mount Shasta.
I stood where the thunderbolts were wont
To smite thy Titan's fashioned frout;
I beard huge mountains rock and roll;
I saw the lightning's gleaming rod
Keach forth and write on heaven's scroll.
