TO lNJURE AMERICAN FLOUR.
Belfast Newspaper Prints Fake
story Of Adulteration.

WASHINGTON, Feb. TO- 97.-Consul
Taney at Belfast, in order that American
millers may learn one of the methods re-
sorted to abroad to injure their export
trade. sends the State Department a
clipping from a local paper which pur-
ports to describe adulteration of Ameri-
can flour.
He says the article is in the nature Of
semi i-annual, and evidently intended
to do all possible harm to importers Of
American -four, Of which there is prob
ably more consumed in Belfast and its
vicinity in proportion to population than
any other part of the United Kingdom,
and which Is steadily increasing. The
returns for 1896 show that over 81. coo long
tons Of American flour were imported
into Belfast exceeding that of 1895 by
1900 TONS
The published attack on~ American
-four. he says, with slight changes Of
verbiage to suit the locality, has been
printed all over the Kingdom, and it is
only one instance OF the methods In
vogue throughout Europe to prejudice
the consumer against American products.

There is probability of the renewal of
the trouble between the agents of the
United Express Company and the private
express messengers who operate along the
line of the Central Railroad.
This afternoon boy messenger in the
employ of Michael Campbell of Elizabeth
was stopped by special officers and pre-
vented from boarding an outgoing train.
There was no trouble. There was only a
few people about at the time and al
though they were sympathizers with the
boy they did not care to dispute the
authority of the police to interfere with
the boy.
There may be trouble this evening when
the boy attempts to return to Elizabeth
with the regular commuters.
