WasHINGTON, Feb, 20.—According to a statement made by a member of the Court of Inquiry, which this week begins the taking of testimony on the embalmed beef charges, the Court re- gards itself as sitting as a Court-mar- tial to try General Miles on the charge of lying, although without authority to pass sentence should it find him | guilty. No other construction can be placed upon this language, used by the member of the court referred to: “We look to Gen. Miles to prove his allega- tions. We have no concer: as to the witnesses as to that side of the inquiry, and it is incumbent upon Gen, Miles | to secure and produce before us those whom he expects to establish his case.!’ In other words, the Court be- lieves Gen Miles guilty, but will give him a chance to proveotherwise. Gen. Miles will produce sixty-odd officers who reported from the field against the beef issued, including Gov. “‘Ted- dy” of New York, and the proof will be made so hot that it is likely to scorch Secretary Alger and other offi- cials as well as the beef contractors.

Hallirosd Notes, Employes of the Pennsylvania rail road are going over the tracks with a measure, seeing that the exceedingly cold weather had not contracted the rails to such an extent that they were out of gauge. The company takes par- ticular pains along this line. Under the new rules all applicants for positions on the Pennsylvania lines are required to undress before the ex- amining physicians. The rigid system of examination has been enforced with a view to avoid additional expense in the relief department, and at the same time select men who will be physical ly sound and who can be advanced in accordance with the rules of promo- tion.
