MEDICINES THAT WE TAKE.
Official Report of the President OF
the Commission of Pha rmacv

John L. Winter, president OF the District
commission OF pharmacy, has submitted
his report 10 the Commissioners. IL states
that there We're SO pharmacists regis
tered by diplomas, and 8 by examination.
In all there We're 70s registered and prac-
ucing during the past fiscal year.
lrtheirrepDrttheco commission ecCmments
the appointment OF an inspector of drugs
who would have the right to go into all
the pharmacies in the city and condemn
any medicine offered for sale which does
not measure up to the requirements OF the
American Society of Pharmacists.
The creation of such a position, they
state, would do much to promotethe health
fulness OF the city by preventing the many
authorizations aud abuses now practiced
by some pharmacists. AS an instance of
such abuses, the report states that many
medicines are constantly being made from
inert material, so that a teaspoonful from
one store would not more than equal a
few drops OF the same medicine from an
other. Its thus made exceedingly danger
Gus for the patient who. on taking an
equally large dose OF properly made meli-
cine, might cndanger his life.

MCKINLEY HURT HIS FRIENDS.
Political Henchmen Sorely Distress
ed nv the Civil Service Ruling.


ed by the Civil Service Ruling.
The civil service reform orcer issued by
the President Wednesday continues to be
the source Of a great deal of talk about
the hotels and in the departments. lhere
is no Disgusting the fact that among the
Presidents most intimate friends there Is
a feeling of disappointment that he should
have gone to this length at SO early
period. By way Of criticism these men
say that he should at least have permitted
the heads Of the departments to weed out
sorhe of the objectionable men who had
been put in the departments by the Demo
Gratis and then kept there through the gen
eral order Of May 6. 1896.
To the friends of genuine civil service
reform the order has the true ring, and
il now only remains for the commission
and the heads of departments to see that
it ifs enforced. II such is done IL viii be
the first time in the history OF the coun-
try that the merit system has really been
put into effect. Up to now civil service
reform, has been more or less Of a make
shift. enforced when the exigencies OF
the occasion dernan led it and avoided when
partisan politics suggested It.
To the men now I'm the field engaein
in the campaign this order means much,
for 1T operates as an estoppel upon any and
all pledges they may make of political
office. 1t is thought by some that the more
radical Republicans who do not go SO far
as tine President MAJ make it an issue and
fight their battles on lines inimical to
civil service reform. II any considerable
faction Of the party win on this line. there
may be an interesting struggle In the next
Congress to repeal the law. The Repub
lican party, I'm it's platform, and the Presi-
dent, I'm his inaugural, both stand pledged
to genuine civil service reform, and it
is not believed thatindividual members OF
the party can succeed among thepeople and
20 counter to the will OF the highest polit-
ical law OF an organized party.

MANY MILLIONS INVOLVED.
Seven Volumes OF Evidence Prepared
iu the Potomac Flats Case.

Tie Potomac flats cases now in the
United States Supreme Court, according
to ex-Judge Conrad, who represents the
Government, involve from $50 900, 900 To
S25,O0u,UUo. A vast amount of work
has been done by Mr.. Taggart, who Is as
sisting ex-Judge Conrad In the prepara-
ton of the case He has prepared seven
volumes OF $500 pages OF evidence, be-
sides obtaining a vast quantity OF lost
maps and ancient records.
The case has been running since 1885,
and consists Of six principal claims. besides
that OF the Government. as follows: Claim
by heir OF James Marshall and of the late
Chief Justice John Marshall, under grant
from the crown OF England, from Lord
Culpeper, and under deed from Hartford,
the last proprietary OF the province OF
MARYLAND. Next is the claim OF the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Canal Company, to riparian
rights from Easby's Point to Seventeenth
street.
Next in order are the claims by owners
of certain squares along the river west OF
Seventeenth street; claims to ground nea1
the Naval Observatory by descendants OF
Robert Peter; claim to certain squares
facing the river and extending to the line
of the Arsenal grounds, and last, claims of
certain persons occupying wharves below
Long Bridge. under license OF the Chief OF
Engineers OF the Army.

to have any provision in such cases So
it was in Zululand. and in a dozen other
instances that could be cited. In the pres

The excellent outline map OF Alaska,
showing the boundary lines claimed by
British authorities, published in cur morn
ing edition today, VIII afford readers a
American representation of a military
character up in that region. The true
boundary line, acknowledged by England
until 1884. is plainly defined on the map.
Most CT the valuable gold districts SO far
discovered are within it; but outside OF
the lines, since impudently claimed by
Canada after the Importance OF the re-
gion as a mineral resource came TO the
attention OF the Ottawa government. Ca

Jackets and marines, there will be a
military nucleus around which the Amer

eminent should give to our naval COM
manders instructions of an emascula ting
character, perhaps they will be able t.
handle the situation all right. This bound
airy question IS an additional one as t.
which we would have been beautifully
left IL the olney-Pauncefote treaty could
have been bought OF bulied through the
Senate. Doubtless IL Will be used as
leverage TO lift another one on the ma
donal back; but the American people GER
taiuly know by this time that any affair
of ours, submitted to a European monarch
teal tribunal, must surely be decided in
European monarchical interests. From
that standpoint, the majority of Amer
leans, some trusts, monopolies and Brit
fish agencies excepted, would much rather
fight than arijitrate.

1t would seem from current indications
that the Eastern question has grown
tired OF staying around Constantinopie
on bail, SO TO speak, and has concluded
to break out in new spot. 1t is needless
to remark that this spot is the Chitral
district In northern India. Inhabited by
wild and savage tribe OF Moslem fanatics
ficrcciy at enmity with their nominal mas
ter, the British government. Our morning
dispatches gave details Of renewed attacks
upon the small British force cautioned In
the valley. About 10000 tribcsmen for
days have been hurting themselves against
the gallant few hundred English and Sikh
soldiers, ard it Is to be feared that these
must be sacrificed before the arrival OF
re-enforcemcnts. The incident affords a

The Illinois coal field was the scene Of
a little trouble yesterday, when 400
diggers from neighboring territory raided
the mines at Roanoke, and succee ded liz
compelling the operators TO agree not To
work until the end of the general strike.
The visiting delegation seized q Santa
Fe train, and held 1t for some hours,
ami en- attempt was made by unknown
persons to burn the Santa Fe railway
bridge near the town. In the West Vfr-
ginia and Indiana fields. and in the South
generally, the situation appears 10 be with
out notable change. On the abor ride of
the question, the opinion appears firm tina
tie De Armitt and West Virginia dggers
must come out at once or a universal SYM
,,athetic strike of all organized labor VIII
have TO be resorted TO. OF the power and
ability of the leaders TO effect such a Sc
rious national movement nobody outside
OF their own councils can form any intel
ligcnt estimate. Operators rgue that since
the Officers Of the United Mine Workers
were only able to secure a partial strike
of diggers, 1t is fair TO presume that an
order for a general suspension of all ill
dustrial work might not be better obeyed.
The conditions generally have reached a
critical stage, and must experience either
an ebb or a flow without man days delay.

For some time past the hyena weyler has
been Boosting that he had killed the
patriot, Gen. Quentin Bandera in the battle
OF Papaya Heights Ia Santa Clara. In that
engagement Weyier's forces were routed
with great slaughter; SO he considered 1t
necessary to report the victorious COM
mander as dead as a sort OF consolation
purse. Tcdsy's dispatches from Havana
show that Gen. Bandera not only is alive,
but that he has crossed into Havana
province at the head OF his division, and
is marching rapidly toward the city to
join in it's investment. skirmishfng In the
suburbs of Havana is OF daily occurrences.
A few days ago fifteen Spanish soldiers
were killed In a ekiTnlish in fun sight or
the city.

The charge that Is or 20 per cent. of the
cows in Maine are diseased is false, mis-
leading, and should subject the party or
parties to severe condemnation. No man
has any right to make such charges
against an industry of such Importance.
Every dairyman and milk producer. yes
every man who keeps cows. is slandered
by such outrageous statements.-Maine
Farmer.
We learn that undoubted injury has
been done to the dairy interests of
Maine, in the Boston market, by the
circulation of this slanderous charge
in the Boston papers and we share the
Farmers Indignation against it's au-
thors. When the facts show that the
percentage of diseased cows in Maine
is nearer two per cent. and our herds
are in better condition than those of
any other part of New England, it's
too bad to attack this great Maine
financial interest for the sake of keep
ing up excitement and getting a larger
appropriation as one of the parties to
the scheme put the case to the writer.
The dairymen of Maine are giving the
most scrupulous attention to their
herds and the cattle commission has
kept down tuberculosis by a constant
and intelligent fight. This has been
accomplished without excitement or
Misrepresentation and there was no
need of either, to forward this policy.
