WORK OF THE SENATE.
The senate met at ll o'clock
Second and third reading bills were
acted on. Senator arnwell's bill to
amend the charter of the South Caro
lina Extension Railroad company was
taken up Senator Hay wanted the
matter referred to the judiciary com
mittee. The matter was discussed
at length, and on a test vote the sen
ate refused to refer it to the judiciary

The bill was passed as amended.

pensary law, which proposed to al
low the people of a county to say
whether they would have dispensary
or not, was taken up as the special
order for the evening session.
Senator Graydon -moved to strike
out the enacting words of the bill.
Senator Archer said that the sen
ate and the people of South Carolina
had this question before them for
several months. Under the present
law the board of control had the
right to pot a dispensary in every
county in this State save in those
counties that had prohibition before
1893.
There was no provision for coun
ties to be relieved of the dispensary
if four fifths of that county desired
it. This was the point at which his
amendment was aimed. The people
of any county should have the op
portunity to get rid of the dispensary
if they choose.
A general discussion of the whole
liquor and dispensan/ question fol
lowed, Senators, Henderson, Barn
well and Mayfield making strong
speeches io favor of .be bill. Sena
tors Udert on and Grs y don spoke in
favor of striking oui the enacting
words. On motion of Senator Dean
the deba e was adjourned as there
were a number of Senators who de
sired to speak on the bill, and the
Senate adjourned

THE MEAT MATTER
TO BE SIFTED.
Court to Deal With State
ment8 Instead of Charges
Against Miles.
Washington, Feb. 9.-The president
bas appointed a court of inquiry to
examine into tbe earbges touching the
meat furnished the American army
daring the war with Spain and other
matters involved in thc charges made
by Gen. Miles against the administra
tion of the war affairs.
The court will consist of Msj Gen.
James F. Wade, . S V ; Brig. Gen.
Geo. B. Davis, 17. S V ; Col George
L. Gillespie, oorps of engineers, U. S.
A ; Lieut. Coi. George B Davis,
deputy judge advocate general The
order for the court of inquiry, which
was issued by the secretary of war,
says :
"The court is hereby directed to
investigate certain allegations of the
major general commanding the army
io respect to the unfitness for issue of
certain articles of goods furnished by the
subsistance department to the troops in
the field during the recent operations in
Cuba and Puerto Rico. Ic addition to
its Soding of fact, the court will submit
an opinion apon the merits of the case,
together with such recommendations as
to further proceedings as may seem to
be warranted by the facts developed in
the course of the inquiry.99
The court wili convene io this city on
the 15th icst
Gen. Miles, when seen, had nothing
to say respecting tbe appointment of
the court He has beeo accumaiatiog
a large amoaot of evidenoe along the
lines of < the ioquiry, bot he has not
chosen any couceel and a part of bis
evidence has been already transmitted j
to the war investigating oommiesien.
This court of icquiry, it is said by
persons versed io military jurisprudence
will be uniqae in that it will be direoted
ic its investigations against a state of
affairs and not against a person, for
although Gen Miles is named as the
author of certain allegations in the
formal orders, it is these allegations and
not Gen. Miles that is to the subject of
the ioquary. The only regulation ic
the army manual bearing on courts of
icquiry provides that they may be
appointed to inquire into any allegation
against, or tbe conduct of an afficer or
ac enlisted man, but nothing is said
about an icquiry ioto a state of things.
It is to be asscmed, of course, that the
president has thoroughly satisfied him
self as to the legality of this order
before issuing it. Tbe court bas DO
power to compel tbe testimony of
civilian witnesses.
The court, should it find that Gen.
Miles' charges are not sufficiently
established, may express an opinion as
to what course should be pursued
toward bim
Inasmuch as the court of inqniry will
have to take np the whole subject of the
meats furnished to the army and ascer
tain the exact state of this meat as it
left the packer's baods as well as look
ioto the preliminary operations of
slaughtering, paokiog and can-ii - g and
refrigerating, a good deal of time pro
bably will be consumed in tbe inquiry.
It may be necessary also to eall person
ally before the court all of the officers
oited in criticism of the meat by Geo.
Miles, cumbering between 60 and 70,
in wbich case a good deal of expense
will be incurred and still more time
consumed. The administration takes
the position that these charges against
;he character of the meat supply shall
be thoroughly sifted, and, if wrong has
been done, that it shall be corrected.

" I was troubled with rheumatism when
I was a small boy, and I have been a suf
ferer with it more or less all my life. Not
long ago I took a bottle of Hood's Sarsa

continued its use, and since taking three
bottles I have felt no Symptoms of rheu
