London May 14.-The speech delivered BY 10

Colonies at Birmingham last evening has
caused a great sensation everywhere, and has
increased the feeling Of uneasness on the Stock

cuIated member Of the Government Is re-
ported to have prophesed that war between
France end Great Britain will break out within
a month.
Precautionary assurances are reported to have
been effected at - guineas per cent against the
risk Of war between France and Great Britain
within the next six months.
Mr.. Chamberlain's remarks have been inter.
preted as a prediction that grave international
complications are ahead. and his references to
the possibility CT an Anglo American alliance
are generally indorsed. The majority OF the
London newspapers cordially approve the utter.
ances of the Colonial Secretary and the follow.
ing extracts from the provincial press are even
more significant The Birmingham Post" NJ.
Chamberlain's organ. says:
Two nations are already AZ war and Mr.
Chamberlain foreeees that circumstances may
arise which may involve other nations In per
haps still more serious struggle. His allusion to
America drew the utmost enthusiasm from the
audience. and reflects not only the spirit Of the
meeting, but the spirit of the whole British race
The Yorkshire Post remarks:
The duty Of the moment imposes upon us the
obligations OF a neutral Power. but nothing can
prevent en- interchange Of sympathy at such Q
time between the peoples themselves. Mr..
Chamberlain shows sound craftsmanship In TAX
ing advantage of the present feeling on both
sides OF the Atlantic to indicate the great part
which the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes
may play IL the two peoples are wise In the new
conditions which are rapidly creeping over the
world.

ample room in this city for a legiti-

messed for a small sum; and, while the
managers Of the Ga.ety Musee keen

liberal patronage. The Gaiety is a five

only five cents, and that covers the en-

many, where, after patron is inside.

FOOD ADULTERATloN.
Lecture by E. 3. Worrel in Mechanics
Hall, Monday Afternoon.


'Dietetics' was the subject of a very
interesting lecture given by E. B. Wor-
rell, Monday afternoon, in Mechanics
Hall. The hall was fairly well filled,
more than thousand housewives and
housekeepers Of the city awaiting them
selves of the opportunity to hear what
the lecturer might say upon his theme
Mr.. Worrell. who is an acknowledged
authority upon the science of food,
pointed out to his hearers many points
of interest and value regarding the
preparation and use of certain foods. He
laid especial stress upon adulteration,
showing many preparations. as for in
stance, baking powder, was adulter-
ated
He also had a great deal to say upon
the various kinds of tea and coffee
These two drinks, he said, were simply
stimulants, While chocolate and cocoa
were food drinks, chocolate containing
much more nutriment than cocoa. His
statement that beef tea was not a food,
but stimulant. was a surprise to many
of the ladies present
The lecture lasted for about an hour,
and was illustrated by an educational
exhibit of food plants and food pro-
ducts, many of the rarer specimens
coming from the Agassiz Museum at
Cambridge and the Commercial Museum
in Philadelphia.

Some Of the Truths OF History,

For full and clear understanding OF
the case, and to further assist the PEG.
pie to whom he appeals for vindication
to arrive at right conclusions, Gov.
Grout ought to have gone deeper into
the history of his own administration
and times and that of the predecessor
whom he selects for the honor of his
comparisons. The people would thus
have had their memories refreshed,
and would have been able to see among
other things, for example, that in the
matter of parading the national guard
in public functions outside the State
there is worldwide difference in all
the circumstances of Dillingham's
times and those of CIRCUITS, and that
this difference inures decisively to the
credit of the former and as decisively
condemns the latter.
Every consideration of propriety and
every impulse of patriotism demanded
that Vermont, the first born of the
Revolution, should be creditably repre-
sented in the celebration of the Wash
ington centennial. Public sentiment
in Vermont sanctioned this. The
scheme was not the Matching of execu.
tive pride and vanity, but was matured
and formulated by commission of cit
liens of the prominence of ex-Gov. j.
Gregory Smith, Gen. P. p. Pitkin, with
others Of similar distinction and patri-
otism. The entire national guard vol
unteered to 60 to New York. The
men of Vermont contributed literally
to the expense. The general orders

tional Congress. The expert fitness of
the Senators appointed on the peace
commission for their duties was recog-
nized. Their eminent ability to defend
the national interests was recognized
and has been approved by the resu Is.
If Mr.. Hoar honestly objects to Sena-
tors on commissions negotiating treaties
because, as Senators, they must act on
their work as commissioners, he must,
to be consistent, object TO Senators on
investigating committees, or any other
service in which their work is subject
to review by the Senate. But to state
Senator Hoar's objection in this way is
to show its utter absurdity. Indeed, he
is rather an absurd and erratic old man,
and often provokes ridicule and rrev-
erence.
