The I'nited States' military authori
ties in Cuba have decided to establish
a sanitarium on the Isle of Pines for
the care and cure of sick soldiers. Col.
Ilccker and a party of staff officers have
made a survey of the island and ar
ranged for hospital buildings. The Isle
of I'ines has several mineral springs
with healing qualities and has long
been regarded as a health resort.

Mr. Tiryan will find a hard nut to
crack in an article on"The Increasing 1
Supply of Gold" which George K. ltob
erts. director of the mint, has written
for the Forum. Assuming the quanti*
tative theory of money to be true, as
the silverites argue, they are now fair
ly beaten by their own arguments.
When the horrible "crime of'":;" was
consummated the gold output of ihe
world amounted to $90.200.0(H), and that,
of silver, reckoning it at the ratio of
sixteen to one, was only $S 1,000,000,
which gives a total of SI~M,<IOO.OOO. In
180*1 the output of gold alone was $203.-
050.000, and the silver output increased
the total to $315,587.87G. This is ex
clusive of the metal that was consumed
in industry and the arts, and is Ilie
record for the very year in which Mr.
Bryan was m::king his disastrous cam
paign.
The significance of the figures is all
the greater when we consider the
progressive increase in the annual pro
duction of gold, which is indicated in
the following table:

lsHL* lir,.i;r.i,ikmiw;

Such are the improved methods of
mining and treatment that it may be
said of most gold fields, as Mr. Iloberts
s-avs of those of the Transvaal, that
the figures "suggest the steady growth
of a manufacturing industry rather
than the record of one usually regarded
as extremely uncertain in results."
The exhaustion of placer deposits
counts for little when capital is invited
to the working of quartz ledges of al
most limitless extent and when even
low-grade ore is a paying- investment
because of increased facilities for tak
ing it out- and of the improved and
economical process of reduction.
For lH'.is there is a gain of more than
$20,000,000 in South Africa, of about
$10,000,000 in Australasia, of $7,000,000
in the I'nited States and of $10,000,000
in the remainder of .North America.
The product, for IS9B was over s.'itio.-
(KHj.OOO, and the Indications are that the
gains for 1899 will be still greater.
These gains, it should be noted, do
not merely reenforee a depleted stock,
nor are they offset by industrial con
sumption. During the years from ISO 2
to ISO 7 there was a net increase in the
world's gold coin and bullion of $082.-
252.1 SO. and during the same period the
industrial consumption amounted to
$279,197,816.
So far from true is it that the money
supply of the world has been prac
tically cut in two by the general estab
lishment of a single gold standard that
the supply of gold is now morethan suf
ficient to do the work that was once re
quired of both gold and silver. Under
the quantitative theory there could be
no call upon silver except as a sub
sidiary coin.—Chicago Times-Herald.
PROCRAMME OF REPUBLICANS
l*rn»|it-c< nl I.cjfflNlnlion on flic Money
UamOon 1m Somewhat
I iicertll iii.
The republican members of the pres
ent house of representatives, a major
ity of whom will serve in the next
house, have agreed, with a fair ap
proach to unanimity, on the first step
to be taken towards the settlement of
the monetary question. It is admitted
generally that nothing can Lie done at
1 his session, owing to the makeup of
the senate. Therefore the question
must go over to the next-congress. As;
there is only the remotest possibility
of an extra session, that means a post
ponement until December.
Consequently it has been decided to
appoint a committee cC 11 members of
the present house, who are members
elect of the Forty-sixth congress, to
consider monetary legislation and
agree on a measure to be submitted to
the republican caucus of the next
house. Should the republican senators
appoint ii similar committee, it is as
sumed that the two committees will
confer together and agree on a common
plan. Whatever measure republicans
do unite in supporting can be put into
a- law by the next congress, both
branches of which that party will con
trol by safe majorities.
It is to be presumed that the 11 mem
bers of tin- committee will be selected
so jmdieiously that they will represent
the views of the republicans of every
-ection of the union—not merely of
New York and New England, but of
those in Ihe Mississippi valley and Pa
cific states, and as the committee will
not have to submit any measure before
December, its members will have ample
time in which to discover what the peo
ple who sent t hem to congress do and do
not wish to he don- It is essential that
the committeemru should get close to
the people, or thfy will make mistakes
which, if indorsed by the party repre
sentatives in congress, will prove in
jurious. to the fortunes of the party.
The position assumed by republican
congressmen next winter will have its
influence during the next presidential
campaign.
ll' the members of the committee will
investigate thoroughly they will find
that their constituents are in favor of
legislation which shall put the main
tenance of the gold standard beyond
all question, and which shall make it.

obligations should be paid in gold or in

the people are invincibly opposed to the
creation of an asset currency to take
the place of bank nok's secured by gov
ernment bonds. The committeemen

Those differences can be harmonized,
however, and a measure prepared ac

THE TREATY RATIFIED.
Pclliy ChilmH hj •ilislrurll'MilMji

(lie rillllppinew.
The treaty of peace which ivns rati
fied by Ihe senate was received by Ihat
body from the president January 5, tip
on the reassembling of congress after
the holidays. That i>. the treaty was in
the hands of the senate a full month
before a vote was reached. It is said
Ihat. if a vote had been taken at once
the treaty would have been ratified by
a decided vote, senators generally con
ceding that ratification, was the only
thing to l>e done. The so-called anti
imperial movement has failed to meet
any response from the people. Unfor
tunately, Col. Ilryan, from the
wars>, assumed the role of sole adviser
to the democratic party,iiiclucliuKdcm
ocratic senators. lie visited Washing
ton and publicly advised democratic
seuators to vote for the treaty while
opposing annexation. Senator, and soon
to be ex-Senator Gorman. as it is re
ported. took offense at the interference
iif Col. Ilryan, and, to show his power,
inaugurated a movement hostile to the
advice of Col. Ilryan, to defeat the
treaty. Thereupon the opposition
sprung up. Democratic senators, asui
body, were arrayed against llie treaty
under the adroit manipulation, of Mr.
(Jorman. At first the Gorman men
wished to amend the treaty. Then they
concluded t hey could defeat it as a plain
issue, and after many delays agreed to
have the vote takt non February 6.
Looking at the result- at the present
time, there is reason to believe that if
the vote had been taken any day with
in a week previous to February 0 ratifi
cation would have beefi defeated.
Aguinaldo's attack at Manila probably
gave the treaty three votes, if not more.
Thus did "the Washington of the Phil-
defeat his friends in the sen
ate.
There is reason to believe that noth
ing but the jealousy of Senator (Jor-
Hian. which made the defeat of the
treaty a sort of party measure, prevent
ed ratification as early as the middle ot
January. Had the treaty been rktified
two weeks after it was sent to the sen
ate Aguinaldo would not have made
the attack upon the I'nited Statesarmy
at Manila. It now appears, and prob
ably ample evidence will be forthcoinr
ing to show that theattaek was advised
by Agoncillo, because the ratification
of the treaty would fail. No one will
charge the opponents of the treaty with
advising Aguinaldo's agent, but he was
made much of by them and naturally
accepted their views regarding popular
sentiment, and their views, transmit
ted to Aguinaldo, led him to assume the
offensive.
The treaty ratified, the war with
Spain is over, and the congress, not
the president, can formulate- such a
policy in regard to the future of lbe
Philippines as the best interests of the
I'nited States and the Filipinos may in
dicate. —Indianapolis Journal.

Washington. Feb. 21. —The Miles
court of inquiry yesterday made a good
start in its work. The court was quar
tered in the old meeting room of the
war investigating- commission, with ac
commodations for representatives of
the press associations and the local pa
pers. . , .
As indicated by a letter of the adju
tant general, read by the recorder for
the information of the court, the scope
of the inquiry was limited to the alle
gations of Gen. Miles before the war
commission as to the quality of the
army beef "and the matter purporting
to have been furnished to the public
press by the same official'' Only two
interviews were called up by the court,
<!en. Miles was very slow and care
ful in his replies to the recorder s ques
tions on this point, lie called atten
tion to the fact that in both instances
he was credited in the interviews with
refusing to answer certain questions
and insisted that these refusals should
be given due weight in considering the
questions to which he did reply.
(Jen. Miles in his testimony said his
use of the phrase "pretense of experi
ment'' in speaking of army beef was
unfortunate. He disclaimed intending
any inference of fraud, and saiil he
should have said the refrigerated beef
issue was **oll the theory ot an experi
ment," and "a very costly one."
Washington, Feb. 2".- The session of
the Miles court of inquiry began yes
terday with Col. Powell, of the Seventh
infantry, li'is regiment went through
the Santiago campaign and after the
city was captured and the regiment
was quartered in the city he received
requests from his men for money to
buy stuff to cut. lie investigated the
so-called canned roast beef and bad
some of it served at his own table. "1
could not eat it. It was a stringy, un
wholesome looking mass, more like wet
sea weed than anything else I can
think of. The men were sick and
could not keep ,ton their stomachs.
Lieut. Col. Yiele, of the First cavalry,
another of the regular army officers
who had been through the Shafter
campaign, followed with a long recital
of his experience with canned roast
beef.
Col. Davis —What did you have as a
meat ration going down 011 the trans
ports?
Witness—Canned roast beef.
Col. Davis —What did you have in
Cuba ?
Witness —Canned roast beef, except
for a few days before leaving for home,
when we had refrigerated beef.
Col. Davis- What did you have on the
transports coming home?
Witness- —Canned roast beef.
Col. Davis —-Wliati complaints were
made to you as to this beef?
Witness -There were no complaints.
There was 110 chance to get anything
else and the men took i't and said
nothing.
Col. Davis—They did use it then?
Witness —I didn't say they used it.
It was issued and they took it. I saw
a great deal of it thrown overboard.
Col. Davis—Have you made any re
ports on this subject?
Witness —Yes, I made three reports.
Col. Davis I Silt why was it you made
no official reproseiitation on this sub
ject while you were in the field?
Witness- For one reason, that for a
long time there was not a sheet of pa
per in my command.
"Did you eat any of the refrigerated
meat yourself?"
"Once—that was enough for me."
Witness explained that the beef had
a "close, musty smell, as though it had
been shut up in a close room," and it
turned liim against the meat, so he
took Uicon in preference. He was in
good health at the time, but iiiiHiy of
his men were sick. He said the refrig
erated beef at Santiago had a yellow
appearance on the outside that he had
never noticed upon the refrigerated
beef formerly furnished at Fort Kiley,
Kan., where he was stationed. When
iie ate it at Santiago he was inclined
to nausea. Referring to the canned
roast beef he said it seemed to be made
112 scraps and the men would not cat it.
Capt. Duncan, of the Twenty-first in
fantry, said his regiment was at Tam
pa from April 22 until about June 20,
when it sailed for Cuba. Canned roast
beef was issued as a travel ration at
Tampa for the ocean trip, and at Sibo
ney as a component of the fresh meat
ration. It was replaced about July 20
bv refrigerated beef, and was issued UF
a travel ration on the home voyage.
It did not give general satisfaction,
the men generally complaining. He
saw much of it opened and it appeared
coarse, unseasoned, tasted flat, was in
long strips and the grease, "or what
ever it was,"was in globules. Appar
ently it was preserved well. Com
plaints brought to him were that the
■beef was repugnant, unpalatable.
The refrigerated beet uifVercd but
little at tne hands of yesterday's wit
nesses, it being generally conceded
that it was good when delivered from
the transports, and when it escaped
the decomposing effect of the tropical
sun en route to the several commands
it was found satisfactory. General
commissary methods 111 Cuba were in
quired into. Difficulty in preventing
tainc before cooking was experienced
generally. There was little in the evi
dence pointing to any use of chemicals
upon this lxvf. The contention of Gen.
Miles that the army in Cuba and Porto
ltico should have been supplied with
herds of entitle, or beef 011 the hoof in
stead of refrigerated beef, was sup
ported by every witness who gave his
opinion upon this question.

One of the most popular of the young pro

amusing little story on a small, up-to-date
schoolgirl. She went to one of these dis
trict schools over which a cousin of the
professor presides. It is usual to have vis
itors at the building now and then, who
ask the scholars questions and see that
everything is in good shape. One day not
so long since a party of callers came in and
requested the pupils to write the answers to
several questions propounded them. One of
these questions was: "Tell what you know
about Admiral Dewey's great fight."
The children set to work figuring on their
answers, but the teacher noticed one of the
girls did not make a move to do so.
"Why don't you write your answer to the
question?" she demanded of the idle pupil.
" 'Taint no use," was the slow response.
"I don't know nothing about it."
"Hut," remonstrated the teacher, "you
must try, anyhow; you must not sit there
idle while the others are doing the best
they can. See if you cannot think of some
thing, my dear."
"Xo use," protested the pupil. "All I know
is that Dewey and Corbett fought, and' I
don't know which whipped, and 1 don't care
either."
