presence of these guerilla bands ren
dered It necessary to place guards
everywhere, there being at one time
as many as live hundred of them.
This rendered the work bqfore the

Speaking of the military policy in

Scandalous Exposures Are Being
Made.
London, Feb. 4. In tho Houo of
Commons last evening, Major Arthur
Leeds Conservative, formerly British
attache with the United. States army
during the Spanlsh-'Aiuerlcan war,
and later British Military attache at
"Washington, salil that GreHtnfltnlii
h"ad been offered the services of the
chief horse expert of tho. United
States army, as adviser in the pur
chase, of American horses for the
British army. The revelation was
made during a heated debate ou tjio
Ucmount question, when Major Leo
said: "The accredited representative oC
tlio war, Colonel Wardrop, of the at
taches at Vienna, was given no op
portunity of showing what know
ledge he possessed of the resources of
thut country. In the same way, 1,
being military attache at Washington,
was not informed that there was any
Intention of buying horses In tho
United States. I learned from tho
Amerlcnn newspapers that British of
ficers had been sent to buy horses,
but I was not Informed who they
were, nor was I asked to give them
such assistance as my position im
plied I was competent to give. At
the time I had the opportunity,
through the good wlllof a high otH
clal, of getting the services of the
chief horse expert of the United
States, as adviser. 1 cabled the sug
gestion to the war oltico, but lecelved
no reply."
Tho wholu debate on this question In
tho House of Commons causes wide
spread Indignation, which is as evi
dent among tho strongest supporters
of the government ns among the mem
bers of the opposition. Tlio minister
ial press vigorously charges the war
otllco with absolute Incompetency, If
nothing, worse, and demands a
searching Inquiry.

secretary, Mr. Broderlclt , ascertain

Edward Blddlc were; exposed to public
vlownt the undertaking establishment
of L. Beluhauer & Sou, on the South
Side, and during the three hours they
were on exhibition several thousand
persons passed before the eollins. us
early as S o'clock a crowd began to
gather about Bclnhauer's mortuary,
and desplto the cold stood silently
awaiting tho opening of the doors.
In the crowd, were' probably as many
women as men. Inspector 'Win. Mc
Rliane, Cnpt. Gallant; nnd a squad of
If) ofllcers were present1 to preserve
order. A few minutes before !) the
police arranged the moilild crowd in
to line and at !) o'clock the deor of the
mortuary was opened nnd tho crowd
passed In qlowly and took a look at the
remains of' the youthful desperadoes.
Tho.b'6dy -of "Edward"' lay nearest the
door and that of ..lack was a few feet
away. Tho bodies wore In black cas
kets. -The heads of the boys were
turned so that the crowd could see
them nt a glance and tho "police kept
tho crowd moving all tho 'time. The
procession kept- up throughout flic
thrc,o hours. The burial will take
place tomorrow morning In ono large
