Alabama Court Scandal.
Special to the Globe.

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE Alabama
court of claims scandal continues to attract
attention. Mr.. Fred Chaplin, the clerk
who had charge of the printing connected
with the court, says: There were several
competitors for the printing contract,
among them being the National Republican
Printing company, Judd & Deturier, E. w.
Oyster and Gibson Bros. The contract
was awarded to the latter for 95 cents
per page for 65 copies of brief or peti-
tion. 1t was at first 90 cents for so copies,
but as this number was found to be inSuffi-
cient it was increased in number
and price In all eases where amounts
under $1,000 are at issue the
court pays for the printing of briefs, petit
tions, testimony and everything, but in the
cases in which a large amount Is involved
the testimony is printed at claimants eX-
penSe. Nearly every petition Is accompan-
led by tabulated statement, involving. OF
course, intricate work and extras. The
printing SO far has cost S115,0 or $780,
600, and every dollar of it has been expended
honestly, and the books and vouchers
here will show it." 1t is the general opinion
that there will be music in the air when the
president returns. A serious phase arises
i'll the fact that Mr.. HoXford, the deputy
clerk OF the court, has been drawing two
salaries from the government in addition to a
pension. He is major on the retired list of
the army at a salary provided by law. He
draws pension, it is said, for disabilities
contracted in service. and has been signing
the pay roll as deputy clerk of the court of
Alabama claims, with clockwork regularity
OF course this is in violation of the law
Comptroller Durham will not recede from
the position he has taken. He says there
is no doubt that the court needed extra
clerical help. but it should have gone to
congress and asked for authority to employ
such labor instead of doing so on its own
hook a story was published to-day to the
effect that the court of Alabama claims has
no legal existence whatever, because the
Judges and officers thereof were not given
new commissions when the functions of the
court were extended by the act of June IS,
1884.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Supt. Walter
A. ShuckerS of the new pension build
ing has not abated any of his deter
minaton to bring the parties who have
been stealing from that Office to justice. j.
II. Dickerson, the former superintendent,
was arrested last Friday and to-day Detec-
tive Block, who has been working up the
case. arrested John Rawles, an employe of
the Office, for having in his possession
mail wagon belonging to the gov
ernment. Rawles has been using
the wagon for the last year as a
cart. 1t is in very dilapidated condition,
but it is said to have been in fair state of
preservation when Rawles appropriated it
to his own use. He claims, in defense,
that the wagon was given to him by Assist
ant Chief Clerk Howell, with permission of
Commissioner Dudley. Rawles will be an
important factor in the prosecution of the
other suspected employees, and es-
pecially the former superintendent, John
II. Dickerson. He has already confessed
that on several occasions he was ordered to
carry to Dickerson's house huge mail sacks
filled with mating which had only done
service for a few months of the summer.
When he inquired why the rolls of mating
were placed in mail bags, Dickerson re-
piled: ''That's none of your business; hold
your tongue and be thankful"

General Simmons he has started up a law

simmon and if he finds that his pole is not

Food Adulterations.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The association
of official agricultural chemists met in an
nual convention at the department Of agri-
culture, to-day, the vice-president, Prof,
II. C.. White of Georgia, in the chair. Mr..
COlman, commissioner of agriculture, de-
livered an address in which, after declaring
his entire sympathy and that of the far
mers of the country in the object of the as
sociation. which is to secure uniform
method of analyses of fertilizers. he eX-
preSSed,the ''hope that the association would
extend its deliberations to the methods OF
chemical analysis. In so simple
a matter as the adulteratiOn of milk it
would be hard to secure a conviction in a
court of justice for any person practicing it,
because of the absence of any official stand
ards by means of which the extent of the
adulteration could be modified. 1t should
not only be the object of chemical control
of agriculture that abundant crops should
be produced, but also to see that the prod
uctS of the field should be delivered to con-
5umerS free of any cheap or dilateriouS
adulteratiOn. In the question of food
RdulteratiOn | have long been greatly inter-
eSted and am anxious that some steps may
be taken by means of which the
extent of it may be diminished.
l have already directed the chem
ist of this department to give attention
to the adulteration of food. The frauds
that are practiced upon the public, i'll add
ing cheap and frequently harmful ingre-
dientS to the food we eat in order to make
great profits, ought to be exposed in no un-
certain way, and the perpetrators of them
held up before the public as objects of scorn
and detestation. To such an extent is the
adulteration of butter and the manufacture
of a counterfeit article carried OH that the
great dairy interests of our nation are now
almost PROSTATE The honest producer of
pure article is impoverished while the manu-
facturerS of and dealers in fraudulent articles
are enriched, some of them having become
millionaireS by this illegitimate work. The
same may be said in relation to the adulter-
alton of our sugars and syrups." At the
conclusion Of COlman's address the reports
of the committee appointed at the last
meeting of the association, upon the best
methods of determining phosphOric acid and
potash in fertilizers, were read and debated
Prof. I. S. Gladding read a paper on each
OF the subjects. The committee on the best
means of determining nitrogen in fertilizers
will make its report tomorrow.
