There was mass-meeting of little spar

Sixth avenue, yesterday at noon. There

Special to THE MORNING CALI

WASHINGTON, Jan. A press corre-
spondent was informed tonight that the
President, either tomorrow or some time
during the coming week, will transmit to
Congress the correspondence between this
Government and Great Britain on the Behr-
fng-sea controversy since July last. 1t will
show that the President and Secretary
Blaine have not swerved one whit from
the position they assumed when they de-
clared that the rights of American fishermen
in the Behring Sea must and should be pro-
tected, and that any attempt TO interfere
with those rights would be regarded as an
unfriendly act.
Murat Halstead has had a number Of
interviews with Secretary Blaine Tonight
he said:
Il will not attempt to speak for the State
Department. but / think that can safely
say that the Republicans, and, indeed. all
Americans. will feel like kicking up their
heels and yelling with delight when they
read the correspondence, which. l under
stand, is to be sent to Congress perhaps to-
morrow. 1t will demonstrate that the dis
patches sent from here to anti-Admin-
istration and Democratic newspapers
have been mere twaddle. It will show
hat the position assumed by the
Administration has been bravelv main
tained, and that in spite of Lord Salisbury's
buster not point at issue has been yielded,
in fact even more aggressive steps have been
taken to reacn settlement. There is no

COLUMBUS Ohio, Jan. 4.-The United
Mine-workprs have issued an appeal to the
organized labor of the country, which has
been approved by the officers OF the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. Tie appeal con-
cludes: THE miners Of Alabama are
worse treated than those Of any other
section of the country. Not only have we
to compete with the curse of convict labor
in the mines, but we are worse treated than
convIcts. We are compelled to work beside
them, while tile free miners are practically
at the mercy of the representatives of the
corporations and monopoiies, the share
holders of which reside in Great Britain and
have only an interest in the mines to the
amount Of the dividend they receive caring
little for the lives or welfare of those en-
poyed therein. II we are successful, these
men must get assistance. This is a struggle
not only for wages, but for our rights to
organize"

HOW TO TEST BREAD.
Alum is Easily Detected If You On

Alum is Easily Detected If You Only
Know How to Go About 1t.
Bread soaked in an alcoholic solution of
logwood will at once turn blue if there is
alum present. Another very simple way of
testing alum is to thrust hot knfeblade
into loaf that is one day old. If alum is
present it will adhere in small particles to
the blade. AS to the goodness of bread
properly made with baking powders possess
ing the maximum Of leaveniDg power, the
following experiment will be found inter
esllng, and also very reliable:
Take a good loaf of bread with a sus-
pectsd one. cut from the two pieces of equal
size, put them in saucers containing the
same quantity OF water; the best bread will
invariably absorb the most wafer. This is
more test for alum than anything as alum
hardens the gluten of wheat and renders it
less soluble.
The weekly consumption of bread per in
habitant in the United States is only so
pounds, or about 3 pounds less than the
general average for all countries OF Europe
At the rate of only 5k pounds of bread

LONDON. Jan. 4.-The Times will publish
tomorrow morning an article from Leon
Say on the subject of the Farmers Alliance,

merely setting folly against folly and

says: Unless a reaction shall take

Its agriculture, like other industries, will
remain a prey TO successive cOnvulsOns, for
