BRITISH OPINION.
Amusing Comment of the London Pre-
on American Politics.

Amusing Comment Of the London Press
on American Politics.
LONDON, Nov. 4.-Commenting on the
elections in the United States. the Daily
News says: 'It is not easy to draw a
moral where the most important con-
tests yield diametrically opposite results.
McKinley's victory is the most striking
event for Europe, but may easily be
exaggerated or misunderstood. He was
probably elected, not as protectionist,
but as moderate opponent of free sill
ver."
The Chronicle says: ''The election of
Flower cannot be considered counter
blast to the result in Ohio, because it
was secured by as corrupt means as ever
American political records can show.
All honest people, desirous of decent
government, wanted the election of Fas-
sett, but Tammany hall was too
much for the reformers. 1t is now prob
able we shall hear of Mckinley as q
presidential candidate. 1t is certain the
Republicans will stand on high tariff
platform. McKinley's election indicates
the overwhelming power of the money
monopoly and vested interests in Amer
ica.' 4ee
The Standard says: "The result will
cause waiting policy on the side of the
Republicans, who may hope in Noyem-
Der, next, to take advantage of some
Democratic mistake or some sudden ac-
cession of popularity on the part of the
government, to reverse the decision now
recorded"
The Times thinks it is possible Dem
ocratic victory in Ohio would not have
pleased all sections of the party. because
it would have foreshadowed a schism at
next years convention. It is doubtful if
McKinley's achievement is striking
enough to vindicate his policy or to ad-
vance his claims to presidential nom-
ination.
It may be taken for granted the result
will thrust intokthe background the
United States governments policy of
bullying Chile.

A cHANGE OLE HEART.
President Barril1as OF Guatemala Ha
Become Very Meek.

President BarrilIas of Guatemala Has
Become Very Meek.
ST.. LOUIS, Nov.4.-A special from the
City of Mexico says: Advices received
from Guatemala say that whereas Presi-
dent Barrillas heretofore muzzled the
press and banished journalists, the most
absolute liberty in writing is now al
lowed, and newspaper men are taking
advantage of the opportunity to score
the government. This change OF
heart was occasioned by his ter
ror that he would be deposed
before his term of Office expires in
December. His previous arbitrary
acts have made him SO unpopular that
should he attempt to imprison another
journalist, revolution would follow.
Barrillas has been advised by his cabi-
net to leave Guatemala, but this he
refuses to do. His mode at present is
simply the only means he can devise to
hold the presidency until the expiration
of his term. He also assured Salvador,
through the lately appointed minister,
that he does not desire war with that
country.

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDER
Discussion Before the American Chem
ical Society.
New York Tribune, Sept. II, 1s'


TO the Editor of the Tribune: l have
just seen the report in your issue Of Sep
rember Sd of the discussion at the Wash
ington meeting of the American Chem
ical society, August 18th, relative to the
uee Of carbonate OF ammonia in baking
powders.
This report is incomplete and incor-
rect in many particulars, and as the pa
per which precipitated the discussion
was read by me and was based upon my
own experiments, 1 desire to make GER
tain corrections. in the interest of the
truth and for the benefit of the large
number of your readers to whom the
question is one of great moment.
The paper as read before the society
related that ammonia in baking powder
is retained in the bread by reason OF its
affinity to the gluten. The concensus of
opinion as expressed during the dis
cussion was against the use Of carbonate
Of ammonia in baking powder, with the
only exception Of DR.. McMurtrie, who is
now an employe Of a baking powder
company which uses carbonate of am
monia in its baking powder.
OF the other parties mentioned as
having taken part in the discussion were
Professor DR.. Barker of the University OF
Pennsylvania, who is the president OF
the society and one of our highest
authorities. In answer to pleading by
Professor McMurtrie that only small
quantities of ammonia were used in
baking powders, he stated: mo matter
how small the quantity, must decline
to be dosed medically without my con-
sent when taking my meals"
DR.. E. H. Hartley, formerly chemist
of the Brooklyn board of health and pro-
lessor of chemistry at the Long Island
college, likewise named, did not, l be.
lieve, take active part in the discussion,
but is already on record as strongly op'
posed to the use of ammonium carbonate
in baking powders. ~
DIR. Richardson volunteered only the
question whether the Aour used in the ex'
periments was of good quality, of which
assuredshim by stating that it was the
best and the flour used in my family.
Professor Mallet was not present.
Your article is misleading in 80 far as il
gives the impression that ammonia dis
appears on baking. Ny actual testl
agree with those made by others, show
ing that ammonia remains in the bread
My Investigations simply assign new
cause for its retention.
HI. ENDEMANN, Phi. ID.
Note-Dr. Endemann, the writer Of
this communication, is we'll known il
scientific circles, and was for twelve
years chemist of the New York board o
health. The baking powder company
above referred to is company in New
York, and the employe, DR.. William Nc
Murtrie, who defends that company
use of ammonia, is their much adver
tised government authority. There il
no such office known under our govern
ment as that of government or United
| States government chemist.

An Important Trust Reposed in the
Hands Of M. HI. De Young.
SAN FRANcIsco, Nov. A large and
enthusiastic meeting, including nearly
all the prominent Democrats and Re-
publicans in this city, was held tonight
to consider what inducements San Fran
cisco could offer to persuade both polit-
ical parties to hold their national con-

derson called the meeting to order, and
Irving M. Scott was elected chairman.
A long discussion followed. M. H. De
Young called attention to the offers OF
eastern cities to pay large part Of the
expenses Of the delegates, and said he
thought it would be necessary for sue
cess. that San Francisco should pay all
the expenses, including transportation,
hotel bills, etc., OF the entire convention
OF either one or both political parties.
He estimated this amount to be $780,
600 for each convention.

The Trouble An Umbrella Caused.
"An overturned umbrella blown from
a room in the Hotel Ryan, at st. Paul,
caused a peculiar food recently" said
FL. G. Calkins.
s'The umbrella blew SO as to obstruct
the corner catchbasin during terrific
rain. Down came the food, and the
cutters became swelled into young
creeks Slowly the water in the bitches
increased, until it ran over and flooded
the easements of the neighboring mer-
chants, who found gallons of water in
their cellars, and hundreds of dollars
worth of goods were destroyed, all be-

open the road and dash on to the heart of
Memphis. Capt. Forrest and ten men
marched sixty PAGES ahead of all others, and
soon met the sharp cry "Who comes there?"
NO satisfactory answer could be given, of
course, but one was trumped up to serve
the moment. Capt Forrest promptly re-
sponded, "a detachment of the Twelfth

now rallied his men and dashed on to the
