Abort "Canned Goods Poisoning. /"

Yet, with all the advantages of canned
goods, some people abstain from their use.
because they think they are unwholesome.
This idea has arisen from the fact, that
among the hundreds of millions Of tins
annually consumed. there is now and then
one i1aperfectly sealed, thus admitting
the air and spelling the contents. These
are easily detected. from the fact that they
generally have ''swelled" or pulled up
ends, and, after opening, by the exercise
of common sense in the use of the organs
of taste and smell. No one thinks Of eat
Ing decayed potato. or spoiled eggs. fish
or meats, but some consumers seem to
think that because a thing is put up in
tin, it must be good under all circum-
stances, prepare Il for the table and eat it
without the slightest discrimination. This
sometimes results in more or less severe
attacks of cholera morbus, which. In these
days of sensational press dispatches, are U.s.
ually announced as canned goods poison
ing" Before the invention OF canned goods,
cholera morbus was as common as it is
now, but it was called cholera morbus,
and not canned goods poisoning"
1t is beginning TO be understood By the
medical profession and the public that
this tpye of illness is largely the result of
the decomposition of organic matter.
which, In its earlier stages, develops
form of alksloid poison. technically known
as ptornaines; but such cases are more
common with spoiled meat, fish, milk.
cheese and ice cream than from canned
goods, and it is safe 90 say that, consider
ing the enormous amount of canned goods
used, they are more wholesome than any
similar amount Of food not canned

THE EXCLUSION BILL DISCUSSED.
Authorities at San Francisco Thin k the
Measure Will be Ineffective.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 1.-The news of
President Cieveland's approval of the
Chinese exclusion bill was received here
today with a marked degree of interest.
Large crowds congregated around the
newspaper bulletin boards and discussed
the situation. The Chinese manifested
considerable excitement. The principal
subject of discussion is as to what effect
the measure will have upon the several
thousand Chinese who have arrived here
within the past year and have been released
by the federal courts in writs of hObeas
corpus and are out on bail awaiting exam
ination and also on the thousand more
Chinese who are now on their way to this
mort. About 200 Chinese arrived here Sat
urday on the steamer City of New York
The Belgic will be due next Thursday
with 500 Three other steamers are now
on the Pacific with over thousand celeS-
tials bound for this point.
Collector of the Port Hager expressed
himself today as being doubtful OF the
bills effectiveness. 1.-The present bill, he
said lis intended to exclude Chinese; SO
was the restriction act, but did the restrc-
ton act exclude them? II the same prin-
ciple is applied to the bill as was ap-
piled to the other, do not see that it
is going to be great Improvements. If
the courts can continue to land Chinese on
writs of habeas corpus and allow them on
our soil that will abrogate any kind of re-
striction attempted by congress When
they are allowed bail they are in the coun-
try and they then forfeit their bail and re
main here in spite of the law" The COL
lector concluded by stating that in all
probability when officially informed of the
passage and approval of the bill he would
refuse landing to Chinese whether bearing
return certificates or not, unless writs of
habeas corpus were issued by the courts in
which case the matter would be out of his
hands.
United States District Attorney Carr
stated that in his opinion the bill could not
affect the five thousand Chinese now out
on bail, but he believed that those now on
their way here would be refused landing
He further stated that he did not believe
writs of habeas corpus would be issued eX-
cept possibly in one or two cases in order
10 make test of the matter
Demonstrations were held in this city
and other places in this state this evening
to celebrate the passage and approval of
the bill.

THE TOPEKA REUNION,

TOPEKA, Oct 1-Beautiful as Topeka is
at all times, it is double beautiful today
The fifth annual reunion of the depart
ment of Kansas of the Grand Army of the
Republic opened its session today. The
streets were gay with the bunting and
flags and designs. This morning General
McCooke and his command of infantry
and cavalry numbering between eight and
nine hundred men reached here from Fort
Leavenworth They were met in North
Topeka by Lincoln Post and escorted to
Camp McCook to their quarters. They
were dust stained and fasigued and vivid
ly recalled the scenes OF troops
on the march in war times.
On other side of the avenue school children
were drawn up and as the soldiers passed
a little boy presented General McCook
with letter Of welcome from the chill
dren. The number of old soldiers in the
city and at camp is large; nearly every
post has representative here to arrange
for quarters. The troop from Fort Riley
tomorrow. Senator Plumb will come Fri
day and Commander Warner, Wednesday.
1t is too early to estimate how many will
be present. There were more on the
grounds today than there was any day
day of the fair, except Topeka day. The
hotels are filling up with strangers other
than veterans. 1t is the biggest time ever
witnessed here and is expected large
number Of prominent men throughout the
country will be at the reunion. Captain
Insley, commander of the Loyal Legion, is
at his headquarters. After the presenta-
ton of a silk flag to Blue Post No. $50 at
Union Pacific park tonight reception
was given General McCook at which hun
