John BuIl,s view OF It.

LONDON, Oct. &c. -Although no credit
was given to the sensational cables from
New York alleging that the United State:
had declared war against Chile, the pres
ent situation has led to a discussion in
naval circles. An English naval officer
having a special knowledge of the Chilean
forces states that the war might be decid
eddy unpleasant for the United States at
the outset, and that the task of conquest
would not be easy, although eventually
the United States would be certain OF
victory.
1t is stated hat at the next lord
mayors banquet, in his annual statement
of the policy of the foreign office, Lord
Salisbury will state hat a new step has
been taken by France in relation to Egypt;
and no European conference on the
subject has been proposed. Regarding
Pamir he will state that nothing has
occurred to cause the Indian government
any discomfort. He will not refer to the
aggressive energy with which India is act
ing in sending agents into Cashgar and
preparing a plan for the mobilization OF
troops, the formation of the army railway
corps, etc. AS proof OF the robust health
of the queen, it may be stated that in
spite OF the severely cold weather at

collector OF customs at San Francisco in

BAKING
What the Minnesota State Authorities
Know bout Them.

If there is a doubt in anybody's mind
as to the quality OF the various baking
powders OF the market. it will be settled
by the evidence given upon the subject by
the state officials of Minnesota. The diary
and food commission and the state
chemist are the highest official authorities
upon such subjects IN this state and their
evidence will be accepted as disinterested
and u~npreiudiced. 1t is their business to
examine the quality of the different food
products and to suppress the sale of those
found impure and unwholesome. and all
will admit that they have performed then
duties without fear or favor.
At the recent examination by a legis-
lative committee to determine the
qualities OF the various baking powders
sold in Minnesota, state chemist and
analyst to the food and diary commIs-
%sioner, DR.. Benjamin f. Drew, gave the
following evidence:
Ques.-Dr. Drew, | see BY the report
of the dairy and food commission of this
state that in making analysis OF the va
rious baking powders of this country you
report as a result of our work that the
Royal Baking Powder contains and gives
off in baking a greater per cent OF carbonio

baking powder made; is that true?
Ans. Yes, sir, that is a fact.
CUES. Doctor, you also found from ex
pertinent that the Royal Baking Powder
will keep longer and retain its qualities
better bar any other powder made, did
you not?
Ans.-Yes, sir, | think it does.
CUES. Now. the two most desirable
qualities in baking powder are the amount
OF carbonic acid gas it contains and gives
off and the length of time it will keep,
are they not?
Ans.-Yes, sir.
CUES. Then the Royal Baking Pow,
der, possessing these qualities, is the best
powder made. is it not?
Ans Well that would be the natural
conclusion.
CUES Well. that is a fact, is it not2
Ans.-Yes. l think 1t is. | consider II
one of the best baking powders made.

BALTIMORE. Oct. 30.-During the
Democratic parade this afternoon a por-
ton OF the reviewing stand at the corner
OF Eutaw and Madison streets, on which
we're seated about 200 persons, collapsed.
Among the party were Senator German
aud Frank Brown. candidate Cor governor,
Congressman Compton and a number OF
ladies. As the head of the procession
approached the stand everybody pressed
forward to join in the cheers for Senator
German, when suddenly the whole front
of the platform gave way and the mass of
people was precipltated into the street
The police at once went to work to extri-
cate those who were under the timbers.
1t was found that all of them were pain
fully injured, but hone seriously. Senator
German was bruised on the legs. Frank

Latest News from chile.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Oct. 30.-United
States Minister Egap Capt. Schley of the
Baltimore aad William B. McCreary,
United STATES consul at Valparaiso, were
in close consultation throughout the day,
and, though it is not possible to obtain
any definite statement from them for pub
hcation regarding the nature of the result
of their losg deliberations, it can be said
they all consider the reply of the iunta to
Minister Egan's note asking for a proper
explanation of the Valparaiso collision, as
decidedly insulting to the United States
government.
1t is also known they regard the sit
uatiou at present as serious. The reply of
the junta. they think. means practically
that Chile is Indignant at the demands
made by the United States government.
that she will take her own time to con-
slider the matter and when the junta
reached a conclusion, that the government
will settle the matter without any
reference TO the views of the United
Statee on the subject. The reply of the
iunta, they further say. fails to express
any regret for the murder of the Balti-
more's men, nor is there in that document
any expression of regret in regard to the
conduct of the police in using bayopets in
arresting the Baltimore's men. While
the United States officials here are Justly
indignant, their Indignation is as nothing
to that felt by the American residents in
| Chile.
1t is.learned today that the United
| States cruiser Baltimore is prepared to
enforce, if such course is found necessary,
proper treatment for her officers and sail
ors who may be compelled. by necessities
of the service. to go ashore. 1t is not
meant by this that Cant. Schley will in
any way irritate the Chileans by sending
the men or ofiasCs ashore when it is evil
lent they are not welcome there. On the
contrary. everything possible will be lone
by the Baltimore's commander to avoid
trouble.
If officers. however. have to go ashore.
then Capt Schley will, if he finds it neces-
sary, send armed men ashore and take
other steps to insure their protection.
1t has Just become known that there is
another feature of the Valparaiso outrage
which demands an explanation. The mu-
nicipal and government officials of Valpa-
raise who made an investigation OF the at
tack upon the sailors of tue Baltimore,
compelled the United States men -of-war
men, who were confined in prison, to sign
a statement. written in Spanish. exon
Grating the police from all responsibility
as to their arrest. As these papers bad
to be signed as one of the stipulations tor
the release of the blue jackets, the men
naturally did as they were requested. An
other point which is not serving to allay
i'll feeling is tie fact that no courtesy of any
kind was shown the United States naval
officers or men upon the occasion OF the
funeral of Turnbull, the second man of
the Baltimore's crew who died from the
effects of injuries he received during the
riotous attack made upon the blue jackets.

The Conservatives New Programme.
Copyrighted 1891 by N. Y. Associated Press.
LONDON. Oct. 30-The counsel OF the
Conservative National Union have in pro-
gress an electoral programme which
promises to outbid that adopted bv the
liberals. The circular was recently issued
by the council directing leaders of the
local c~aucuses. in view ofthe early general
election, to make a special effort to oppose
the Liberal propaganda, elected appeals
from every quarter for an authoritative
platform. Conservative agents will be
sent Oh a tour of all the districts to occupy
themselves with destructive criticism of
the liberal projects.
Semi officially ii is announced that the
platform OF the conservatives will declare
tor a cessation of special Irish legislation
with the adoption of a local government
bill, and concentration of the attention o.
parliament on British affairs, exten.
sion OF popular local govern
ment, allotment of small molding.
for laborers; legislation for arbitration o
strikes; lowest possible taxation on tea
coffee and cocoa; reduction of duty on to
bacco; vestiDg the power of licensing IL
the county councils with a provision fol
compensation of the publicans deprived O.
licenses, and an introduction of a bill pro
viding for insurance against old age
There will, of course, be principles of op.
position to church disestabllshment, main
tenauce of UNCONVENTIONAL schools. pres.
e~rvation of peers privileges and rejection
OF local option and in the matter of an
eight hours day. The platform does not
give the electors a comprehensive prospect
of reform equal to hat of the Liberals,
but it is freer from fads and more lmme-
diatefy practical. The Libarals are ar.

OMAHA, Oct. 30.-General Manager
Clark, by instructions from jay Gould.
authorized an unqualified denial of the
rumor that the Union Pacific had given
notice of withdrawal from the Western
Traffic Association and stated that there
was no intention of SO doing. He de-
clared this rumor had its origin in a
movement on the part of the Union Pa
cifc, Colorado Midland. Denver & Rio
Grande and Rio Grande Western to with
draw the local business in Colorado and
Utah from the jurisdiction Of the Western
Traffic Association. For several years the
local business in these states has been con-
trolled by the Colorado Traffic Associa-
ton, composed of these four roads. Tie
roads do all the business in that section
and NONE of the other roads are IN q posi-
ton to as much as touch any portion Of
it. The headquarters OF the Western
Traffic Association is in Chicago
and the administration OF the
local Colorado aud Utah business
by a chairman in Chicago necessarily re-
suit in damaging delays and keep the
business in thst section in a constant state
of uncertainty. The roads which have
made the objections to the Withdrawal of
Colorado and Utah local business are not
in a position to handle the business them
selves. and have not the least control over
it Whatever may be the decision OF Chair
man Walker it is safe to say that the local
business and the territory in question will
be administered in the future as it has
been in the past without regard to the
people who are not concerned.

EARLY TRACES OF MAN.

He Existed In Denmark and Scandi-
Ago.
When was man first placed on earth2
No one can answer that question.
Hugh Miller says that mans habit Of
burying lis dead out Of sight makes it
very easy TO be mistaken on that
point; for, because OF burial, mems
bones may be found among the ami
mails that have lain in the earth for
ages. There is one thing, however,
that gives us an inkling OF when he
came Certain tools, that only man
could have made, have been found
buried in caves, in peat beds, and in
tine bottom OF lakes. Often these are
covered by layers Of rock; and, by
calculating how long il took TO make
the layers, a guess can be made as to
when the tools We're put there. Still,
Il il only a guess, and no one pretends
to regard the question as settled, be-
cause under some conditions the lay
ers would be made much faster than
under others. But the bones OF certain
animals, the mammoth and other
great creatures OF that time, which
have long since died. have been found
with these tools, writes Theresa Croft
ton in St. Nicholus. BY calculating
in what ages these animals lived, and
how long il takes n race OF animals to
die out, a surer result can be arrived
at In cave in England, buried I'M
der a limestone layer from one to tif-
teen inches thick. tools have been
found mingled with the bones Of ele-
plants, tigers, rhinoceroses, and
hyenas, which roamed over that
country thousands and thousands OF
years ago. The peat hogs Of what is
now Denmark and Scandinavia are
filled with stone tools, Some have
been found in beds OF gravel underly-
inc peat which iscertuinly 1000 years
old. This seems to show that man
must have dwclt on earth at least as
many years ago.

Gen. Lew Wallace Chats About Eat
ing and Smoking OF the Orlentals,
An enthusiast on the subject OF fine
tobacco is Gen. Lew Wallace, the auth
or OF ben Hur" and ex-Minister to
Turkey. A Mail and Expressman
not long ago had chat with him about
tobacco and the kind the orientals
smoked. He said:
The Turks smoke the purest tobac-
60, generally in the form of cigarettes
They get their cigarettes from Smyrna.
The cigarette paper is not doctored
with creosote, and the tobacco is pure
and sweet. They have knack OF us
ing tobacco in the Orient which as yet
has not been learned in this country.
Nearly everybody smokes in Turkey.
The women OF the harem are inveter-
ate cigarette smokers, and they do not
seem to grow less beautiful from the
use OF the weed. They have also q
pipe called the nargileh, which is q
large bowl with many tubes to it. A
number OF women sit around and
smoke and gossip.
"They do not have any quitting
parties, as the women in this country,
and so much OF their small talk is
done around the nargileh. In the cafes
the customers smoke, and, in fact, an
entertainment of any kind would be
incomplete without the soothing Chi
bouque. The deleterious effect of
tobacco is not noticeable in Turkey.

made in this country"
Are the Turks great eaters2"
"They live WELL Nearly all of them
have French cooks, especially the
wealthy who live in cities. Some of
the dishes cooked by native Turks are
very palatable. | once ate regular
Turkish dinner and enjoyed it very
much. Many OF the dishes had UNI

but they We're peculiarly seductive to
taste. Other dishes, OF course, were
not so pleasant TO the palate. F."
