The report of the financial committee. was read and snou‘bd that nearly $300 had been collected to de- fray the expenses of an anticipated fight against a four year‘s’ franchise to be given the Street Railway company to lay their tracks to that place. The peopl‘ are in favor of a six months’ charter, but for no longer. It seems to be the general impression of the citi- zens that the Street Railway company after having secured the franchise would take their own time in building the road, and this they are determined will not be. The Cranbury people de- sire the trolley service to Norwalk and. at once. if the Street Railway will. build in six months, well and good, if not, they are in favor of granting the charter to the Tramway company.

EXAMINEDBY GOV.BEAVEP1 Bureau Chiefs Exonerutcd—Deniul That the Secretary Was Personlly Intcrfgted in Contracts 01' Camp Sites—Knew Noth. ing. About Chemicals in Beef. WVashingvton, D. 0., Jan. 27.--Secre— tary Alger, in rcsponse to an invita- tion of the war investigating commit- tee, appeared before that body yester- day. The secretary was sworn by General Wilson, after which Governor Beaver, after asking permission to. use the title “ ‘eneral,” instead of “Mr. . Secretary,’ " began the examination of the head of the war department. Secretary Alger, in beginning, stated that he had been on duty at the we. department constantly during and af— ter the war with Spain. The chiefs of bureaus in the war department, he said, were generally appointed to such places because of seiniority, but the. president if he thought proper, could break this rule. W'hen asked in regard to expendit- ures by the department of the war fund, the secretary replied that the larger part had THE .n 'devoted to the strengthening of the coast defences. In ‘ anticipation of such an inquiry he had brought with him memoran:i1n;s.pre- pared by heads of bureaus, giving de- tails of the expenditure of this fund. During the continuance of the war he had be en kept constantly advised of all actions taken by the several bureaus. The chiefs of bureaus often reported to him sever nl times a day. If he had not been advised of any important fact in regard to department work, the head of one of the bureaus was to blame. If any report originating outside of the department came to him he inves— tigated it at once. During the early days of the war. with a. large body to provide for, some defects were appar— ent. It was not because of a lack of funds. but because it was impossible to handle properly so large a. body of men on short notice. VVitne-ss did not recall having receiv- ed during the war complaints in re-, gard to foods furnished to the army. There was a shortage of food at Santiago. not because there were no supplies, but because they could not he landed from the ships. No old sol- dier, said the secretary, would make harsh criticism of the food furnished the army under the circumstances. He had never heard any cause during the War for complaint of any officer. "Vias the head of any bureau guilty of failure to discharge his duty dur— ing the continuance of the war?" ask- ed Governor Beaver. “No. sir‘,’ replied Secretary Alger. Q.—.Did any rcpout come to you of any irregularity 01‘ of any fraudulent practices in the contracting for sup- plies furnished to any department? ‘ A. ——No sir. Q.~—Did you directly or indirectly have any interest in the selection of any of the camps occupied by any of the troops? A.-—No, slr'. I never had any inter- est in any camp. I do not know that anyone connected with me had any such interest. Q.--Did you have any interest . in any contract for materials supplied during the war? A.-—N0t a. cent in any contract. Q.--Does that apply to transports purchased? A.——Yes, sir. The secretary went on to state that he had zrcVer had any personal inter- est in the expenditure of government funds. directly or indirectly. No con- tracts for' equipment were entered in— to prior to the declaration of war. "Have you received any complaint from the major general of the army while at Porto Rico as to the quality of refrigerated and canned roast beef furnished the army?” The sccrrtnry replying. referred to his annual rcport. quoting a dispatch from General Miles asking that 510' more beef be sent: because they could get a large supply tlrcrc. Gem-1‘11] Miles had said something about bccl' tlrathad spoiled there. Secretary Alger next told of the in- spection of camps. especially the tour: of inspection by General Miles. The secretary never had received any official complaint from the armies in the field in regard to fresh 01' can- ncd meat furnished the troops. “Have you any information meat was chemically treated?" “Nothing but what has been brought out by this commission." Beef, he went on. had been used as an arm“- ration for many years. and its use was not an experirrrent in the Spanish war. No complaints had been received by him from the camps in regard to 1190?. When asked whether he was person— ally intcrested in contracts for turn- ishing meat the secretary said with positiveness: “I have not: I never had. directly or indirectly. interest in any property. in anything supplied.” He had never received any official report that beef furnished the arm): had caused sickness. He had received; reports from several sources that at' Chickamauga and Camp Thomas there i had been a lack of medicines and sno- plies. The reports were investigated and supplies ordered at once. He had, never received a. report from the sur-‘ goon general that he was unable to furnish supplies. In regard to the 111'— rival ofthe Fifth Corps at Montanltl he said that every possible precaution: had been taken to make the cannzi healthful and comfortable. There. had been many difficulties that it was im-l possible to remedy, but everything lllf'll could be done had been done. This closed the examination. and Sec- retary Alger was asked whether wished to volunteer any statements but he declined to do so. . that I . IH‘ Colima vermin. Actiie.

Manila, via Hong KOng. Jan. 27.-- On Saturday evening, January 21, five Filipinos, determined to have revenge for their captain's death, attempted to enter the United States lines. - An American sentry killed one of them, who was armed with a. revolver. After an exchange of shots the others were arrested. The incident has inten- sified the excitement here. The Mabini cabinet has insisted up- on the liberation of the Spanish civil prisoner's , in commemoration of the proclamation of the Filipino republic, and also donated money to the native clergy. A decree to that effect was signed. The Spanish clergy, however, remain prisoners. It is rumored that the Filipinos at their next meeting will give the Am- ericans eight days in which to accede to their demand for recog nition. The rumor is discredited. Gen. “'ood at fiavana.

Washington, D. 0., Jan. 27.-—Imme- diately after the opening of the ses- sion yesterday the House went into com ittee of the whole for the furth- er consideration of the Hull army re« organization bill and Mr. Marsh of Illinois, a member of the committee on military affairs, addressed the com- ' mittee in support of the bill. After a. brief speech against the bill and against expansion, by Mr. Dins- more of Arkansas, General Grosvenor addressed the committee in support of the bill. He said the purpose attributed by the opponents of the bill to the mouse ure had absolutely no foundation. No one could point to a. single instance wherein any officer of the army or of the militia gave an order against the interests or welfare of the people. General Grosvenor devoted the grea- ter part of his speech to a review of the events of the war, especially such as related to and were connected with the president. He complimented the army, the navy and the heads of departments. General Gros venor referred to the demand; “insolent” he termed it; of Mr. Johnson that the president should give to the Filipinos an expression of his intentions, an assurance that it was not intended to infringe their lib— erties. He read from the president's procla- mation of December 21 last to the Fili- pinos sufficient answer to that de- mand. ‘ “This proclamation,” General Gros— venor said, “had been torn up and the men shot who endeavored to publish it. by that unhangcd barbarian, the vile traitor. who tVVice sold his coun— try’ 5 honor for money; this person who is so well depicted as the traitor of traitors; a man who has developed ap- parently the highest attributes of a bad man. under the distinction made by a gentleman in New York that he wouldn‘t stay bought. “To whom is the gentleman referr- ing?" inquired Mr. Johnson. ‘fTher-c is 'but one such person," swercd Grosvenor. " lut to whom does the gentleman rc— fer‘?" persisted Johnson. "To your George Washington No 2 --Aguinr ldo, " the general replied amid much laughter. “He was good enough to be our al- ly,” snecred Johnson. "If he was our ally,” retorted Gros- venor, “he should have stood with us to the end. (Applause) Benedict Ar- nold was at one time the ally of the Revolutionary army, mt that did not prevent Americans from pillorying him in history as the greatest criminal traitor.” an- Scmrtov Flatt to Speak. ‘ W’ashington.
