FINDS BACTERIA IN GRAIN.
They Are Harmless, However, and Are
Fewest in American Cereals.

They Are Harmless, However, and Are
Fewest in American Cereals.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 27.-And now
bacteria has been found in grain, and in
vast numbers, too, according to a report
to the state department from United
States Consul Stephan at Annaberg.
The German Agrarians, always on the
lookout for any plausible pretext to keep
out foreign competition. hailed with de-
light the news that Prof. Reinrich in
Rostock. had found numerous bacteria
in Russian and Roumanian grain. which
were the more deadly as they could not
be rendered harmless even by the heat
of the oven.
The matter was brought to the alton
ton of the Reichstag by an Agrarian
member, when it presently appeared
that the German government had al
ready been making an inquiry. The di-
rector of public health reported that
sixteen German and seventeen foreign
samples of grain had been examined for
bacteria. The purest was the Ameri-
can. AS regards the character of these
bacteria, such as would endanger health
were not found in single samnle sn
that the grain is absolutely harmless
But even the worst bacteria are do.

MOVE FOR SHORTER WORK-DAYS.
International Association of Machinsts
Likely to take the First Step.

International Association of Machini SITS
Likely to lake the First Step.
Chicago, H., Feb. 29-At the conven-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor held in New York the executive
council of that body was authorized to
select one or more trades to make a
move fer shorter workday. The priv
ileges attached to the labor organiza tons
which should be first to win demand
for Il shorter workday were to have a
positive financial as we'll as moral value.
ard the International Association of
Machinists has been preparing to win
that prestige.
Almost two months since Grand Mas
ter Machinist James O'Connell issued
from the grand lodge Il circular. includ-
ing among others the following pertinent
questions: l. Shall we demand an
eight-hour day? CD Shall we demand
a nine-hour day? (3) Shall we demand
ten hours pay in either case? a. Shall
we make the demand only in cities that
are best prepared? (5.) Shall we make
the demand ourselves. whether the Amer
lean Federation of Labor selects us as
one of the trades or not?
1t is probable that the machinists have
voted aye on the first and two final prop
ositions This is the final date set for
the receiving of votes from members of
the organization. and when the mails
close this evening the secretaries will
foot up their records and report the num-
Der of votes cast for each proposition.

at the meeting, and the subject was thor
oughiy discussed. Mr.. Mahon stated
his position as being in favor Of making

ton.

STATUE is ACCEPTED.
y. w. Lcsey Of La Crosse is Satisfied
with the Pere Marquette
Memorial

Washington, D. c., Feb. 29.-[Special.l
congressman Linton, the Michigan
apostle of the A. 2. A. doctrines, will, it
is said, attempt to prevent the dedication
of the Pere Marquette statue, but it is
believed when he fully understands the
situation he will change his mind. He
has prepared resolution to prevent the
placing of the statue in the capitol, bas-
ing his protest on a law providing that
only statues of citizens of the state fur
nishing them shall be placed there, and
claiming that Father Marquette was
not citizen of Wisconsin. He
is quoted saying that he
will try TO get consideration of the reso-
luton, but before he will have an oppor-
tunity to present it. his attention will be
called to the fact that the last Congress
adopted Il joint resolution, which was
signed by the President giving the state
of Wisconsin the right to place the statue
in the hall The fact that the placing of
the statue in the hall would be in viola
tion of the law, was brought to the at
tention of the Wisconsin people IN the
Fifty-Second Congress and the necessary
resolution was Introduced then. hut 1t
was not finally adopted until the last
Congress- 1t is noted that then ~. Lin
ton did not raise his voice against it.
The resclm...:.l takes the ground from
under his feet
j, W, losey of La Crosse, Wis. char"
man of the monument committee, mas
arrived, and he and Senator mitchell
will meet this evening to fix the date
for the unwilling. The programme OF
exercises will then be arranged. All the
talk about Cardinal Gibbons and other
Catholic dignitaries coming to make 1t
u semi-religious ceremony is moonshne
1t is reported that Archbishop Katzer
will be present, but there is no certain
ty about that. Senator Mitchell will
make an address on the character of
Marquette and will invite the Illinois
and Michigan senator's and some OF the
scholars of the Senate to make addresses
if they see fit. Mr. Losey visited the
capitol with Sig. Trentanove this aft
ernoon to view the statue, so that 1T
might be accepted by the state without
further delay. A number of Wisconsin
people at present in the city also viewed
the statue. Mr.. Loscy viewed the Pere
Marquette statue in the presence of
Senators Villas and Mitchell and accept
ed it on behalf of the state
The impression prevails that 1T Will
be necessary for Congress to pass another
resolution accepting the statue, but that
is not so. Usually. however. a resolu-
ton is adopted thanking the state tor
presenting Il statue.

WOULD GO TO WAR.
Temper of Congress is Aroused and
Extreme Measures will
Result.

Chicago, H., Feb. 2S.-The Posts
Washington special says: Beyond a
question the United States is nearer war
temper of Congress is strongly in favor
of active Intervention for the indie
pendence of Cuba and without doubt
is prepared to commit this government
to extreme measures in support of that
position.
Members of the Senate and House of
Representatives have been overwhelmed
with expressions of sympathy from every
kind of organization and from hundreds
of thousands of individuals, all indicative
of eagerness for the liberation of Cuba,
and not a man on the floor of either
chamber has the slightest fear of offend
ing his constituents in going to the ex-
IRENE in this direction.
''The American spirit has been so thor
oughly aroused mat Congress and the
President feel they have practically
unanimous endorsement in aiding the
revolutionists, and it is only a question
of a few hours when there will be an
open declara ton to the effect that Spain
must either terminate hostilities on the
island or admit the independence of the
insurgents.
'"The first impulse was to put politics
ahead of national patriotism and to con-
fine the glory of the resolutions to Con-
gress. The tremendous enthusiasm with
which the movement has been received
by the country at large has very much
broadened the views Of the leaders OF
both branches of Congress and there is a
manifest willingness to make the resolu-
tons Joint in form so as to permit the
President to participate in the perform
