LOOKS LIKE A FLOUR TRUST.

The Millers at Nj waukeo Empower .
Committee to Restrict the Output.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 1.-THE millers in
convention Tuesday formed what prac-
tically amounts to . trust, alth ugh it is
not such cast-iron one az was desired by
some of the wheat-gr nders. st II it
will probably grow stronger with age;
and, as it is even now, it will GER
tainly affect the price ct -four and
cause bread to come little nearer being o
luxury than 1t Is Mt present. The resolu-
tions by which it was formed were passed
very quietly and by unanimous vote.
1t was resolved to appoint A. A.
Freeman. of New York; +. L. Green
leaf, of Minneapolis, and A. III. Smith,
OF st. Louis, committee to CORE
spond with all members Of the association
and order shut down when three fourths
of the members and three fourths Of the
capacity Of the mills shall deem it necces-
sary. This committee was also given
power to terminate . shutdown when.
ever 1t shall deem such action expcdient.
In line with this action another resolution
was passed ordering half time shutdown
for tho month of January.
At the conclusion OF the general conven-
tion the spring wheat men went into
secret session aud proceeded to take steps
toward effecting an organization similar
to that of the winter wheat men, A. c.
Loring, Of Minneapolis, and ]. NJ. Turner,
also OF Minneapolis, acting as secretaries.
1t was finally decided to appoint q commit
tee to ascertain by correspondence
with the rest Of the fraternity whether a
permanent organization that shall practi-
cally control the production Of spring
wheat -four Is practicable. It was resolved
to meet again in indianapolis the first
Tuesday in February.

said. rudely; that's my religion
The tract distributor made no

A NOVEL SUGGESTION.

NEW YORK, Dec 19-The Star in lead
ing editorial advocates the selection Of
Hon. Grover Cleveland as Attorney Gen

the ground that this will be the most i'm.

the next four years, and that Mr.. Cleve-

him by all classes, Is exception

diets that race questions in the South and

DOUBT osMAn OIoNA's STORY.

1t Would Take Four Months for the News
OF Sta"iey's Capture to Reach Suatim.
BERLIN. Dec. 19-Interest in African af-
fairs is for the moment all centered in the
fate Of Emin Pasha and Henry NJ. Stan
ley. Lieutenant Wissman at . public
meeting in Cologne IN October said
that Emin's position at Wadelai
formed wall VIII ch separated the
Arabs Of the Soudan from those Of the
south, and that II the wall collapsed tho
whole Arab movement would be SO
strengthened that it would require hum
dred-fold greater sacrifice TO master
it. The greatest doubt is expressed
here regarding the report that Stan
ley has been captured. 1t is ar
gued that the alleged fight must
have occurred between the Sd and 5th
degrees Of north latitude, between Lado
and Wadelai The distance to Omdur-
man, Osman Digna's headquarters, is l.2OO
miles, and thence to Suakim Is another 400
miles. The swiftest messengers would
take four months to cover the entire
distance. The result OF the discussion of
the Emin Relief Committee, however, is
the postponement of the departure of
Lieutenant Wissman until definite news
has been obtained Of ENNIS fate.
SUAKiM, Dec. 1.-THE Arabs now num-
ber 1000. An attack Is expected imme-

FUMES or TOBACCO.
The Degree to Which They Are DlsIi
fccting In Their Action.

The Degree to which They Arc Dlsin,
fccting In Their Action.
It has long been cherished theory.
at least OF smokers. that the fumes OF
tobacco were to q certain degree dis
injecting in their action. To put this
theory to a test, Dr. Vincenzo Tessa-
rini. of the University of Pisa. has ro-
Gently conducted an investigation into
the action of tobacco smoke upon
heterogeneous. He devised an APP
paratus consisting Of two tunnels
placed with their mouths opposed. and
sealed with paraffine. To each small
end OF the tunnels tubes were attached.
suitably arranged SO that q cigar could
be placed in one end, while the bac
THEOLOGICAL smoker inspired at the
other. The smoke was thus drawn
into the large space made by the fun
nels, in which was plate with various
cultures of micro-organisms; control
cultures were also used. The microbes
were subjected to the smoke for from
thirty to thirty-five minutes, during
which time from three and half to
four and half grams Of tobacco were
used. The micro-organisms tested
were the spirillum cholera Asiatica,
spirillum Finkler and Prior, bacillus
anthracis, bacillus typhi abdominalis,
bacillus pneumonia, staphylococcus
pyogeneus aureus, and bacillus pro-
digiosus. The kinds OF tobacco used
were the largo Virginia cigars, the
large Cavour cigars. the small Cavour
cigars. the best cigarette tobacco.
The results show that tobacco-smoke
has the effect OF preventing the de-
velopment Of some micro-organisms
entirely. and Of retarding that OF
others. The Virginia cigars seemed
to have the most powerful effect. while
cigarette-smoke had only q rctarding
influence. and did not entirely check
the growth Of any form. BY first
drawing the tobacco-smoke through
water, it was found to have lost its
germicidal properties. = Science.
