Residence of q High Court Justice
Damaged, But No One Injured.
LONDON, Nov. A bomb exploded
tonight outside house in Tilney street.
Park Lane, two doors from the residence
OF Hon. Sir Henry Hawkins, one of the
Justices of the Queens Bench division of
her majesty's High Court of Justice. The
front of the house was much damaged
and the windows of houses on the oppo-
site side OF the street were smashed. The
house was occupied, but nobody was
hurt. The force of the explosion must
have been great, as the door of the house
was blown in and the stone steps shat
tered. A search revealed the remains of
the bomb. Suspicion rests on a man
who alighted in the vicinity of the house
from cab which had convened him
from the Savoy Hotel. He has not yet
been arrested.
Another account says the house is the
residence of Hon. Reginald Brett, son of
the late Lord Brett Lord Brett was at his
club, and Mrs. Brett was in the hall of
her residence when the bomb exploded.
She was not hurt, however. The bomb
ploughed up cavity of eighteen inches
below The threshold of the front door,
which was blown to pieces. The top step,
slab OF concrete, 40X26, was blown
across the street The sound of the ex-
plosion was heard for two miles.
Justice hawkins is the Judge who
sentenced Frederick Charles, Tic&cr
Gales, Joseph Thomas Duncan and can
Batolla, the Wallan anarchists to various
terms of Imprisonment. He also pre-
sided at trials OF other anarchists, and
imposed sentences of various degrees
upon them. 1t is thought in some quar-
ters that the explosion was an attempt to
secure revenge against the Judge, but
that the author made a mistake in the
house.

IMPORTED FOODS.
Radical Steps to be Taken for Their
Thorough inspection

Rad1caI steps to be Taken for Their
Thorough Inspection.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. - Secretary of
Agriculture Morton is giving earnest at
tention to the question of inspection of
foods imported into the United States.
and as result may suggest some very
| radical steps in his next report.
The action of Germany in prohibiting
the reception OF American cattle and
dressed beef into her ports has brought
the system, or lack OF system, to the front
as vital question. Secretary Morton
thinks the principle of requiring inspec-
ton OF foods and drinks is wise one. if
properly and efficiently enforced, but
IhlnKs, also, that the present regulations
governing commerce between the United
States and Germany, France and other
countries are in some respects disadvant-
ageous to American interests. The prin-
clpal importation from those countries to
America are wines. brandies and beer.
and they come i'll without any assurance
to the bnyers that they are obtaining pure
articles, free from adulteration, beyond
the representations Of the firms from
which they are purchased.
In speaking OF the matter to-day Sec
retary Morton said: ''I have decided TO
recommend in my next report that an in
spection of these imports be provided for
There should be microscopical inyesti-
CATION at the ports OF entry to determine
the presence of adulteratlon. and the
shipments should be inspected also by
officials OF the country from which thew
come and certificates of their purity fur
nished."
In this connection the Secretary called
attention 10 report made to the Depart
ment OF State some years ago of Consul
George W. Roosevelt at Bordeaux upon
the adulteration of Bordeaux wines. in
which the Consul gave it as his Judgment
that fifty per cent. of the wines and bran
dies sent to the u United States from that
district were falsified under labels of
brands OF high quality and adulterated
with poisonous chemicals. The Secretary
has reason to believe that much of this
sort OF imposition is still thrust upon the
the American people. One instance has
come under his observation of the large
importations into the United States of a
certain brand OF Rhine wine, which can
be produced only in a small tract of Ger
many, but of which this country receives
more than that particular tract is capa BILE
OF producing. Germany, therefore, could
find no cause for complaint if the United
States should decide to enforce a strict
inspection of their wines for sanitary
reasons, and such policy might prove
an effective method of retaliation. one
which would lead Germany to conclude
that American meat was OF the whole
soonest.
1t may be recommended by Secretary
Morton that the packers, whose meat is
inspected, be taxed to defray the cost of
inspection, as liquor and cigar manufac-
turers are taxed. The Government has
been paying quarter of million a year
tOr this service.

trials made in Germany, which he says
correspond to those obtained in France
and Austria. He says:
I'VE have on trustworthy authority
that the results of the trials which the
various army corps have made with the
cyclists by no means come up to the eX-
pectations which were formed. The
cyclists have been tested in every possi-
bile way, and although it is not forgotten
that the cycle is capable of further devel-
opnent and the cyclist of still better
training, still this will have little infiu-
ence on the general result. For military
purposes, too, distinction must always
be made between the achievement of
professional and amateur cracks and the
work that can be done by the average
soldier"
The correspondent details one or two
cases wherein the cyclists were of service
as mounted post men, but saws that
where the roads were bad they were of
no use at all, and certainly can never re-
place the mounted ORDERLY
