Police Fire on Children.

A Dublin dispatch says a serious sffray
took place in B1llins, county Mayo. There
were illumlnations, tar ba rels lighted to
celebrate the release OF the Irish members
of Parlisment. A band of music turned out
to parade aud play, when the progress of
the crowd was arrested at the principal
SQUARE OF the town by the police, under ?
Sub-InspectOr, who seized the instruments
Of the band.
The people became excited and threw
stones, striking the police, who charged
several times with fixed bsvOnets. As the
rioters turned down Main street they were
again stoned. They fired on the crowd,
wouDdiug a number OF persons, who were
afteTward attended by three physicians.
One, who was a mere youth, is reported
dying.
Mufiny, an ex-suspect, addressed the
crowd from a window, advising the people
not TO oppose the police, that proper steps
would be taken TO avenge the unprovoked
stack upon the people. The crowd dis
persed quietly.
All who were shot are little boys. as the
two chfldren's bands and the crowd were
principally composed OF youngsters.

Counterfeit United States Bonds.

Washington Special Baltimore Day.
The important paragraph relative to couu-
terfeit United States bonds, which appear
ed frst and exclusively In these dispatches
OF last night, OF course arrested the atten-
ton of our local newspaper men to-day,
aud they started industriously in quest of
additional Information The result of their
researches, as published this evening, does
not give any material facts additional to
those sent from this office last night, but all
is cOnfirmatory OF the latter. The District
attorney says his attention was directed to
the subject about two weeks ago by for
mer Treasury Department detective, w. P
Wood, and he adds that she Is satisfied that
the developments will be somewhat start
ling and important, provided the evidence
reaches expectations" Your correspond
ent, though informed of the facts
submitted to Secretary FOlger in
the first instance, is not authorized to give
the full details at this moment, but the
main features IN which the commercial and
business communities are directly in
terested were given in these dispatches last
night. That which will be hereafter de-
veloped to the public will prove interesting.
inasmueh as the long existing mystery as to
dOings of the counterfeiters is to be solved,
and with this testimony we shall discover
how it was that the officers employed In the
Treasury Department permitted the genuine
engraved stock OF tue government TO get
intO the possession of the cOunterfeiters
and dealers in spurious United States notes.
Boiled down, the facts are that five twenty
and seven-thirty one thousand dollar bonds,
produced in part and possibly wholly from
the engraving stock in the Bureau OF En-
craving and Printing, were put in eircula-
tion and passed as genuine, first
about seventeen years ago, and again about
fifteen years ago; that some of these spuri-
ous bonds-prOhablY several hundred thou
sand dollars of ihem-were taken as genuine
by banks aud bankers throughout the coun-
try, and that $50 600 OF these bonds were
redeemed by the United States Treasurers,
assistants and the main Office here. The
Treasury Department party, who were In
office when the genuine stock was surrepti-
tiOusly obtained, have at all times main
tanned that the couuterfeiters did not get
the genuine stock from the bureau; the out
side parties have as positively asserted the
opposite theory. And now the original
stock has been captured in the hands OF
persons heretofore suspected, and the proof
is that some II not all of the stock was taken
by them from the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. Arrests will be made when the
grand jury here concludes the examination
of witnesses.

Two old wrecks have been discovered,
both on the same day, one being reported
from Long Branch, and the other from
Galveston, Texas. The former was found
by men who were widening the channel of
tie Shrewsbury river, and was in good con-
dition. 1t is believed to be the remains Of
an American merchant vessel sunk by the
British cruisers in the old inlet to prevent
the American privateers, which, when
closely pursued by the enemy, took
refuge. In the Shrewsbury, from pass
ing in and out through the old thor
oughfare. The channel was filed by
the action of the sea sixty or seventy years
ago, and the place through which once
passed the fleetwinged American privateers
ia now filled to the level OF the surrounding
beach by mass of white sand. At Calves
ton, while dredging the channel off La
badies' wharf, pieces of an old wreck and
an antiquated iron cannon, nine feet long
and five inch bore, were brought up, and
the general belief is that they are from the
wreck of one of Laftte's ships. wrecked
during a terrific storm In 1918, which
wrecked number of vessels composing the
feet Of the bold buccaneer.

on Satur dsy's Crime.

DUBLIN, May 10.-Arrests continue, but
so far they have resulted in nothing more
serious than the short detention of the sus-
pected parties.
Another arrest has been made.
The opinion grows that indiscrimlnate
proceedings of the police show that they
are In state of complete uncertainty.
Yesterday a crowd of the lower orders
gathered around car with red panel and
partly obliterated the number and insisted
on the police taking It and the driver to the
station for Identification. This is consid
cred most significant change as compared
With the reluctance Of the populace IN all
previous crises to render assistance to the
authorities.
Earl Spencer, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
has signed a minute forbidding the execu-
tive officials to go beyond the precincts of
the city without police protection.
The name of the American Irishman, who

He has been released.
A placard appeared to-day announcing
the formation of society for the restora-
tion of legislative independence. 1t con
tains hostile references to the Castle off,
cials.
1t is proposed that the citizens should
contribute sum to augment the amount

An Irishman, who stated that he had been

has been conveyed from Haverford West to
Liverpool. He still adheres to his previous
statement. His knowledge of the locality
OF the crime and his description of the men

Wheat Against Flour.

The effect of the Mlller's Convention at
Cincinnati is being already seen In the in
creased amount of -four exported from this
country. Before the late war our exports
of flour largely exceeded the exports Of
wheat in it's natural state. This order Of
things was entirely changed between 1850
and 1865, and from that period down TO 1880
the exports OF -four showed a steady de-
crease in the percentage of the total ship
meDts of wheat. During the past eighteen
months the percentage of flour exports has
made moderate gain. The milling inter-
est OF the United States is of vast proper
tions, and the probabilities are that the Inn
provements made within the last ten years,
and which, we are glad to find, have reached
our city aud State by our enterprising mill
ers, are likely to produce a considerable
change for the better in working off our
great cereal by securing to our country not
only the profits on the raw material, but
also upon the manufactured article.
The production of wheat IN this country
in 1850 was 100 4S5, 944 bushels; In 1860,
172 643, 1856; in 1870, 2S7, ,745 626, and in 1880,
459, ,479, sos bushels. In 1899 Ohio was the
greatest wheat growing State; now Illinois
takes the lead, raising annually upwards Of
50,000,0 900 bushels. The wheat growing in
dustry has been steadily moving West for
more than half a century. Western New
York and Eastern Pennsylvania were once
the great wheat sections. Then Ohio had
it's turn. Afterwards Indiana, Southern
Michigan, Northern Illinois and Wisconsin
made wheat the chief crop, to be succeeded
by Iowa, and now by Minnesota, Nebraska
and Dakota.

ADULTERATED TOBACCO.
Substances Used To Flavor the FRA
grant Weed.
Providence Journal.

A pamphlet has been published, show.
ing that in Germany thousands of tons
of beet leaves are transformed into to.
bacco. In some places chiccory and
cabbage leaves make the fragrant weed.
An English chemist found stuff sold
for tobacco was the leaves of diaphoret-
ic plant. 1t had been impossible to sell
the plant as a drug, and it had been
turned into tobacco to save loss.
Another writer informs everybody, or
wants to, that chemists have an import
ant place in tobacco factories. Fifteen
factories in New York employ chemists
to ''havor" cigars. The cannot do much
with the wrapper, but they can 'heighten
and develop" the filings. 1t is a relief
to know on the authority of the writer
quoted that opium is not used, although
it used to be formerly, in England, but
stringent laws broke the practice. The
substances used to flavor tobacco are
numerous. Every manufacturer has his
own formula Vanilla is the most COM
mon. This Is employed in the form of
an alcoholic tincture to flavor filings.
1t is said that few cigars are
free from vanilla. Its effects are not
harmful if not used to excess. The tonka
bean and balsam fir are used in the same
way for the same purpose. Cedar oil is
also introduced. The best imitator Of
the tobacco flavor is valerian. H.alerian
and vanilla are the most valuable chemi-
Gals now in use by tobacconists. By
their use the poorest stems may be con-
verted into fair tobacco. Into cigarettes
enter not only valerian and vanilla, but
cascarilla bark. To make cigars burn,
ammonia is used, and they are soaked in
saltpetTe. The latter is injurious, and
makes young men old with dispatch.
The object of its use is TO cause the
cigar to burn freely. 1t has been no
ticed by some smokers that an intoxI-
eating effect has been produced by
some cigars. This is produced by dip
ping the filings in a solution of sui
phuric ether and bromide of potassium.
When it is known that New England
rum is used With vanilla ana valerian, il
is nothing to wonder at that the cigars
so treated produce intoxication. We do
not name the brand that is treated with
New England rum. If we did, the de-
mand would exceed the supply. To
make tobacco, or aid IN its adulteration,
such other things as potato leaves, sugar,
potash, tamarinds, aniseed, gum and va
rious oils not heretofore mentioned to
greater or less extent In New York
alone, 826, 666. 900 cigars are made an
nually, besides 229 100000 cigarettes,
and twenty-five thousand persons are
employed.
