The Coup in Germany Regarded as In.
evitable-The Princess Health.
BERLIN, Oct. 3O.-Upon receipt of the
news of the ministerial crisis Prince
Bismarck said: Il knew this would be
the inevitable result. Count Zu Eulen-
berg was right in regard to the anti
Socialist measures, but General Won
Caprivi disagreed with them, and
either one or both had to resign.
Prince Hohenlohe is safe man, but
he lacks initiative"
Prince Bismarck will return to
FREDERICKSBURG November 3. On ac-
count of the state of his health he
will be unable to see any more dele
cations before lea wing Varzin. The
health of Princess Bismarck causes
anxiety.
Prince Won Hohenlohe visited En-
peror William to-day in his new ca
pacity of chancellor of the German
empire and premier of Prussia and
then went to Berlin, to which city
Herr Won Koeller, the newly APP
pointed minister of the interior, had
preceded him.

Inc secretary OF state OBJECTS to Ger
many's Anti Cattle Order.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. - Secretaiv
Gresham has made a strong represent
alton to the German government in
regard to the injustice to the United
states of the order prohibiting the
importation of American cattle and
fresh meat into Germany. He has
protested that the action was TAKEN
without sufficient evidel ce of the ex.
istence of disease among the cattle
exported from the United States or
its contagious character or harmful
effects.
The secretary and the German am
bassador were in conference at the
state department to-day on the sub
ject and the minister transmitted the
protest to his home government,
promising that it should receive care
full consideration. There is some
reason to hope that this government
may be able to secure a suspension of
the order for time at least to per-
nit of an opportunity for further in
vestigation and proper consideration
of such representation as may be
made to support the case.

THE STAFF OF LIFE.
Crusade Inaugurated In a Number OF
Cities for Cheaper Bread.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-In view of
the crusade for cheaper bread in
augurated in number of cities, in
GLIDING Washington, where the price
has been reduced from five to four
cents per loaf, as result of the cru
SADIE. the agricultural department has
given out bulletin on "the cost of
bread, " taken from the Forthcoming
report of Professor W. O. Atwater on
the nutritive value of food 1t says:
I'm practice 100 pounds of -four will
make from 1873 to 137 pounds of bread.
an average being about 1876 pounds.
Flour, such as is used by bakers.
is now purchased in the Eastern
states at not over 81 per barrel. This
would make the cost of flour in a
pound of bread about II cents. Al
lowing one-half cent for the shorten
ms and salt, which is certainly very
liberal, the materials for a pound of
bread would cost not more than two
cents. OF course there should be
added to this the cost of labor, rent.
interest on investment, expense of
selling, etc, to make the actual cost
to the baker. Very few accurate
weighings and analysis of bakers
bread have been made in
this country, so far as
am aware, but the above statement
represents the facts as nearly as |
have been able to obtain them. The
average weight of number of speci-
mems of ten cent loaves purchased in
MiddletOwn, Conn, was one and one
fourth pounds. This makes the
prices to the consumer eight cents
per pound. The price of bread and
the size of the loaf are practically the
same now as when flour cost twice as
much.
The cost of bakers bread is a COM
paratively small matter to the person
who buys on Y loaf now and then,
but in the Eastern states and in the
larger towns throughout the country,
many peopl', and especially those
with moderate incomes, and the poor,
buy their bread of the baker. Six
cents per pound or even half that
amount for the manufacture and dis
tribution seems very large amount.
IN the larger cities competition has
made bread much cheaper, but even
there the difference between the cost
OF bread to the well-to- family who
bake it themselves and the family of
the poor man who buys it of the
baker, is unfortunately large"
The report also goes into the
chemistry and scientific features of
bread-making. The nutriments in
bakers bread are: Protean. o per
cent; fats, per cent; Carbohydrates,
Sc per cent; mineral matter, per
cent Total, 6S per cent nutriment
and 30 per cent of water. In wheat
flower the total nutrimentS are IS
per cent and water IL per cent, show
ing that the nutriments are largely
reduced by baking. The potential
energy in pound of -four is 1000 per
cent; in a pound of bakers bread.
1900 per cent With the increase in
the proportion of water in the bread
as compared with the flour, the pro-
portion of nntriments is diminished,
but the addition of shortening
and salt brings up the fat and
minerals in the bread so that the pro-
portions are larger than in -four.
