BOGUS DAIRY PRODUCTS.
AND PARTICULARLY PSEUDO
CHEESE.
What the Legislative Committee
Learned About It YesCerday-HOw
the Fraud may be Checked and the
Dangers From its Practice.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The members Of
the committee appointed by the State Leg
islature met to-day at the Butter and Cheese
Exchange in this city, to investigate the
subject of the manufacture and sale Of oleo-
margarine, butter, lard and cheese. 1t was
decided to investigate the matter of adulter-
ated cheese at to-daV's session. Several
witnesses were examined to-day and their
testimony was to the effect that there was
much aduteration In the manufac-
ture of cheese. The counterfeit
article was made not only from
oleomargarine, but also from lard and Yari-
GUS oils. At present the manufacture of
the adulterated article IS hardly extensive
enough to affect trade. The low price of
the genuine article had done much to retard
the development and sale of the sdul-
terated article. They thought the
matter serious enough, however, to
require legislation. In order to protect the
trade, some legislation of general charac-
ter that would reach the business in all its
ramificattons, should be made, and the in
terests OF the dairy should not be confined
to this State alone.
1t was recommended as a remedy that all
goods shipped from or to New York should
be subjected to inspection under the aus
pices of the Exchange, and that adulterated
goods, not marked as such, should
be conascated. The adulterated article
they considered unhealthy, as deodorized
aLtmal fat entered into its composition,
and as very prevalent disease among hogs,
was scrofula, there was no reason why it
should not be transmitted to consumers by
the bogus articles

THE HORROR AT NICE.
The Burned Theatre a Perfect Trap
Sixty More Lives LOst-NOne of
the Victims EngIishmen or Amer1-
cans.

NICE, March 25.-Most of the artistes
were In the dressing rooms of the theatre at
the time the fire broke out and were aware
of their danger, but 1t was too late to es-
cape. The choristers rushed along narrow
passage in the darkness. Many Of them pre-
sumably were too much disa-
abled In the crush to escape.
The basso, tenor and baritone must have
been suffocated. Their bodies are probably
under the ruins. The parts of the theatre
most filed were the upper galleries, and as
the distance from them to the doors was
long, and by narrow corridors and stairways,
the people in the galleries had the greatest
difficulty In escaping. There was a very
inadequate supply of water. The sailors
who volunteered as fremen piled buckets
of sea water, which were almost useless.
Two midshipmen rescued two persons from
a chamber who are still living but horribly
scorched, one being raving lunatic. Some
of the bodies found are so horribly charred
that recognition is impossible. The body of
one singer has been recognized.
LONDON, March 25.-The American Con-
sui at Nice telegraphs as follows: "SixtY-
nine lives were lost by the opera house fire.
No Americans or English are among the
victims. Their public interment will take
place to-day. The shops are all closed"

A SENSATION SPOILED.
The State Departments Report on
The Alleged Passport Frauds at
NEatanZas.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The State De-
partment furnishes statement regarding
the recent published report rejecting upon
Mr.. Roosevelt, the United States Consul at
Matanzas, and a gentleman named Drake,
to the effect that q number of Americans
arriving at that place were swindled
by those gentlemen out of five
dollars each for reissuing their passports to
them. The statement explains that the
rules of the Colonial Government require a
visitor to the island to pay from twenty-five
cents to four dollars, according to
the length Of his stay. On the
occasion In question a party of Ameri-
cant excursionists, numbering about thlr-
ty, employed Lewis Drake, Clerk on the
steamer by which they arrived. to obtain
the necessary passports for them. 1t was
purely private arrangement, and he was in
formed he would receive compensation
for his trouble, and received two
dollars and half from each
tourist. Subsequently nine of the excur-
sionists called on the Governor of the city
and represented that Drake had collected
two dollars and fifty cents for each pass
port as fees due the government. The
Governor ordered an immediate inVestiga-
tion, but it was clearly shown that 1t was a
private transaction.

The Week In mIncing Lane.

LONDON, March 25.-In Mincing lane the
advance in coffee has not been maintained
in all cases, but coloury plantation Ceylon
closes about shilling per cwt. higher. A
few parcels of the new crop of East India
realized former rates. Brazilian and.other
foreign descriptions were unsettled. The
stock of coffee here is now
400 tors less than at the
same date last year. The supply of
Ceylon and East India sfloat is relatively
small because of the short crops. Several
cargoes of Burmah rice, for early shipment,
sold at the current low rates. The arrivals
of sugar off the coast have been numerous,
and the market generally has been slow.
The late partial speculative inquiry
for low brown and East India
has subsided. AS the stock of West
Indies keeps small importers obtain full
rates. Crystallized was steady. Refined
was less firm IN London, but dearer In the
Clyde. Tea continues depressed. Some
China at auction favored buyers. India
was practically unchanged. The operations
in tea were probably restricted in view of
the possibility of an alteration In the duty.
Pepper was higher. Zanzibar cloves have
fallen nearly I'D. per pound.

LONDON, March Is The Geneva cores
pondent of the NeaOS says he hears on the
best authority that the first letter to the
Paris LratranSigeGRt, purporting to come
from Geneva, giving the particulars of the
assassination of the Gar, was an amplifca-
to Paris, worded so as to escape the notice
of the police.
The first prosecution under the revised
press laws is announced. The author of the
article In the VedOnloSti, charging the ad-
ministration with Incidence and robbery,
and society with cherishing an illusion which

the Interior to appear before Judge.
The trial of the assassins of the Czar will
commence on the Both inst. 1t has been
decided to proceed against the woman
Sophie Piloffsky separately. General Nell

The Liverpool BreadstuRs Tarket,

LIVERPOOL, March 25.-A leading grain
circular says; "Grain has been quieter in
all departments. At various spot markets
one shilling advance is reported, but the
demand is less active. OFF coast cargoes

inquiry for shipment, and on passage
prices were shade easier. On
spot, since Tuesday, business in wheat and
corn has been at retail rates and unaltered.
