WINES FROM FRANCE
Some of Them Contain Some
Grape Juice and Some
Do Not.
FRAUD IN THEIR MANUFACTURE
Water, Alcohol and a Few
Other Ingredients Are
Used.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l2. - Consul
Chancellor at Havre has sent an ex-
tended report to the state department
upon wine making in France, covering
the past 20 years. The consul declares
that most of the wine produced has no
grape juice in it whatever. The French
government recently destroyed $4,000
casks of wine found to contain no
grape juice, but made Of water, alco.
hol, sulphate of symsum, glycerine,
salts of potash and berries for coloring.
1t has been ascertained that whenever
the vintage is poor immense quantities
of sugar, amounting in 1887 to $4,000
tons, have been used for mixing with
wine, while the deficit in the produc-
ton of the vineyards has been made
good by producing many millions of
gallons of wine, so-called, from raisins,
currants and the lees Of the wine press.
The consul says that sweetness in wine
covers many defects without improving
its quality, yet many people prefer
sweet wines which result in injury to
their health

Mr.. GLADSTONE'S SPEECH.
Looked Upon - Being = Smart Slap ut
Lord Rasebery.

Looked Upon - being smart slap oS
Lord Rosebery.
LONDON, Aug. l2.-Mr. Gladstone's
speech on Tuesday last at Chester, on
the Armenian question, not only in
England but throughout Europe. is in
many quarters looked upon as being q
smart slap at Lord Rosebery, the ex-
premier, and as directly supporting
Salisbury in any steps the new govern
ment may take towards coercing the
porte into doing something toward re-
form in Armenia. On the other hand,
some OF the London newspapers, the
Post, for instance, class Mr.. Glad
stones utterances as being danger
ously mischievous'' and as likely to
kind.e civit war in Turkey which, &C
cording to The Post, may spread into
a European conflagration and event
ually threaten India with a renewal of
the horrible scenes witnessed at the
Sepoy mutiny of 1857.
But the Times took an entirely diff
ferent view OF the speech, remarking
editorially: He did not say word
calculated to hamper Lord Salisbury s
government. His impassioned rhetoric
did not go beyond facts. If the speech
assists. as it doubtless will, in bringing 6
about the desired consumation, he will
be rewarded for an effort, unparalleled
even as mere physical achievement
by man of his age"

NATURAL GAS.
The Pressure Has Decreased Materially In
Nearly All The Fields.

The Pressure Has Decreased Materially In
Nearly All The Fields.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IL The natural
gas industry is fully reviewed in the
annual report of the geological survey.
The important gas fields now are those
of Western Pennsylvania, Western
New York, Northwestern Ohio and
Central Indiana, but gas has been
found in commercial quantities also in
Arkansas, California, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana. South
Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Viz
ginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The highest actually observed pres
sure of the gas has been about 500
pounds to the square inch, closed pres
sure. In all districts the pressure has
decreased steadily and materially.
Heretofore natural gas could be
easily carried in pipe for long distances
under it's own pressure, but now in
most places. artificial means must be
used to drive it to the place where it is
needed.
No statement of the amount of nat
ural gas consumed has ever been given,
and the report says it is not possible to
make one. The amount has been
greatly reduced within the last few
years by the cutting Off of the enor.
-mousswasts that existed, while inn.
proved appliances have doubled the ef
ficiency of what is used. The total
value of that consumed in 1894 was
nearly 81, 1000, 900. This is steady de.
crease from 1888, when the value was
$22, 500, ,OOO

MONTEREY NOT DISABLED.
Reports About the Zig warship Promptly
Denied.


Denied.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. l2.-The re-
port sent out from this city that the
Monterey was almost disabled when
she reach this port, is emphatically de-
aied. Several members of the crew
state positively that the story that she
came into port with four Of her six
boilers useless is false. They declare
that she was using five boilers. They
also deny that coming up the coast she
was only able to make six knots an
hour. They say she steamed easily
eight knots. One of her officers in
formed a reporter of the Associated
Press, the only foundation for the story
about the ship being disabled was the
fact that the forward boilers were not
in the best of condition. Some of the
tubes were leaking. When tube
leaked they had to be taken out. He
said that the Ward boilers would have
to be retubed. 1t was not q matter of
serious consequence, and certainly not
one on which to base the story that the
ship was disabled. The Monterey could
have proceeded to San Francisco with.
out stopping here. He added that the
navy department is fully informed as
to the facts.

WHOLE TOWN AFIRE

Business Block and Twenty
Two Houses Burned in

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-The town Of
Lakeport is burning. Engines have
been sent from here by special train.
At 1855 business block and 20 houses
had been burned. The fire started at
l1:3O a. m. and owing to the lack OF
water and everything being dry, spread
rapidly. The indications at 1906 were
that the whole town was doomed.
Workmen tarring the roof Of the
Phoenix printing Office, accidentally
started the fire. In five minutes it was
beyond control Joliet was called on
for help, but a fire there prevented any
aid being extended, and Chicago was
then called upon.
