BROOKE'S PEACEFUL ADVANCE
American General Received in Most
Friendly Manner.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept s.
Major General John R. Brooke, his
stan and escort, have completed two
thirds of their journey across the ISL
and toward this city. The march has
been like a march through a friendly
territory. On Saturday General Brooke
stopped at Caney. Yesterday he reach,
ed Caguas, twenty miles from here.
This afternoon he enters Rio Pedras,
one of the aristocratic suburbs OF San
Juan, where he will establish his head,
quarters.
General Brooke has accepted the hos
pitality of Captain General Macias, who
'graciously offered him the use of his
private residence at Rio Peduas. The
column, though small, is imposing and
Is making a deep impression. As 1t
it's way over stately mountains,
covered to their SUBMITS with coffee
and tobacco plantations, and through
broad savannahs and valleys, General
Brooke, with his chief OF staff, rode at
the head of the column. The natives,
who had news Of the coming of the
Americans, lined the streets, their faces
showing their pleasure, although there
was no demonstration. At intervals
along the way the Spanish soldiers of
the civil guard presented arms as our
troops passed.

FRENCH WINE ADULTERATION.
Conversion of Red Into White Wines,
to Meet a Poplar Fad.

An old caricature of CHAINS depicted
the horror Of a French gentleman who
had made inquiries of his wine merch-
ant as to the prospects of the vintage,
and had received the reply that the
outlook was good, for the price Of po-
tatoe spirit had fallen and the supply
of fuchsin was ample. During the bad
years after the phylloxera, the public
mind became firmly imbued with the
belief that the red wines OF France were
particularly liable to be adulterated.
The notion that white wines were less
likely to be sophisticated gave rise
to a fashion which has continued after
the belief on which it was founded has
ceased to have any good ground.
We do not propose 20 attribute to
French wine makers any exceptional
increase Of conscientiousness, but the
fact appears to be that recent vintages
have been so copious that it is not
worth while to adulterate. Neverthe-
less, the public belief in a great purity
Of French white wines persists, and, as
n consequence, they have become
dearer than red wines of correspond
ing quality. Supply follows demand.
and producers Of red wine have set
about to find means to convert it into
white. Recent analysis made in France
prove that one mode of obtaining this
end is to treat red wine with a mixture
of animal charcoal and potassium per-
manganate. This process bleaches the
wine, but at the same time leaves a
considerable quantity of manganese in
solution. Wine which has thus been
treated can be recognized by adding
to it in an open vessel an excess Of
caustic soda and shaking. After a few
minutes a thin brown layer forms on
the surface Of the liquid, due to the OK
idation by the air of the oxide Of man.
ganese set at liberty by the alkali.
There can be no doubt that this ma
%nipulation, which transforms red wine
into white, renders it less wholesome;
and 1t Is curious to reflect that this has
been brought about by the desire of the
public TO escape from adulteration.
Seeking to avoid fuchine. they are now
dosed with manganese. Well may NJ.
Hugouneq, the anyalist who drew at
tention to this new device, exclaim that
the making Of wine is becoming more

The cars entering the city from

A Lost Opportunity.

The Chicago Record says that some
time ago Il young organist secured per-
mission to practice on the big organ in
the Auditorium. An elderly man walked
i'll and took a seat a few rows away
from the musician. The Young organist
noticed him, and was encouraged to
'show off, and do a few tricks of play
ing for his audience. He rambled on
for an hour, and the elderly man sat
there, apparently impressed. The young
man tired at last and was about to lock
the organ when the elderly man APP
preached him and said in broken English
that he wished to play for a few min
utes.
"They don't allow any one but an
experienced organist to touch the in
strument,' said the young man loftily.
With a little gesture, suggestive of
meckncss and humility, the stranger
presented his card, Alexandra Gull
mant, Paris.'
Then it vas time for the young or
ganist to swoon. He had missed the
chance of his life. For an hour he had
been entertaining the great master with
homemade drivcl.

Chaplain OF The Oregon to be Court

Washington, Sept. 5.-Ever since the
printed reports OF the sensational ut
terances OF une naval chaplain, Joseph
II. Mcintyre, reached the navy depart
ment the officials have been making a
quiet inquiry into the accuracy OF the
newspaper publications. The chaplain,
who was attached to the Oregon and
who was on board when the battle of
July 3 was fought, was accredited with
some vague criticism of Admiral
Sampson, Captain Evans and various
other officers Of the American fleet, in
sisting chat to the officers and men CT

He was particularly severe on Captain
Evans. whom he charged with coward

has now satisfied itself that the chap

ed to him, for it has ordered his trial
by ccurt-martial on charges to the pre-
judice of good order and discipline and

Cowardica OF Republicans.

The letter of Mr.. Allan Benny. pub
lishsd in The News of Saturday, shows
what a large element of eowardice enters
into the Republican campaign. The COM
munieation was originally addressed to
the Editor of the Evening Journal but
that individual declined to publish it be-
cause it told too much truth to suit his
party and its G-ubernatorial candidate.
The Journal, would not necessarily be
obliged to print material adverse to the
cause which it e~spouses. if it were seru-
pulons in its own statements. But in the
matter Of the schools it had been trucu-
lently mendacious in one of its editorial
screeds. and Mr.. Benny's letter was mere
1y intended to correct its errors and place
the truth before the public. TO refuse
publication TO Mr.. Benny,s letter under
these conditions was both cowardly and
dishonest. 1t was al act inspired by the
consciousness Of a bad cause.

One Of the favorite themes of the Re-
publican spelIbinders, who are just now
a~ssaulting the air with their oratory. is
the Ubiquitous extravaganza Of the Demo-
cratic party They delight in holding up

forth the awfully reckless manner in
which the Democrats seuander the public
funds, and they throw out insidious sug-
g~estions tina much Of the money has

the matter may be useful.
This hope will be realized, as the table

spelibinders. who find such a fruitful
theme in Democratic extravaganza
One section of the table shows the debts
of the COUNTIES in 1898, 1890 and 1880, and
to this the spellbinders' attention is
specially invited. Atlantic county, with a
population of 2S.s36 in 1890, had a debt OF
S11o.3s and in 1888 with a population Of
81. $50. had a debt of s1.19s,110, while Mon
mouth county, with a population in 1890
of s., 12S. had a debt Of $216, 9i6. and in 1888,
with 75,54s population, the debt was $780,

governed by the Republicans, while the
Democrats controlled Monmouth. With
The increase in population about the
same. the debt of the county ruled By
Republicans increased 81, l9S,1lo while in
that county whose affairs the Democrats
managed the increase was s718,323.
Again. take the two largest counties in
the State, Hudson, controlled by the DEM
oerats. and Essex, where the Republic
cans have controlled and still do control
affairs. The difference in the population
of these two counties is about $1,000, in
Hudson's favor. In 1890, with a popula-
ton of 25e.0 98. Essex's debt was s11,s4S,S57.
Ten years later, with a population in
creased to 312, 600, the debt had grown to
the enormous sum of $40, 7S1. 26o. an in
crease of 81. 1882. 40S. During that same per
iod, while Hudson's population increased
from 275.l26 TO $3.50 her debt increased
only 50, sos. 91s. In this period wicked
Hudson, where they do such things, ac-
cording to the Republican spellbinders,
has built a new insane asylum and con-
structed a Boulevard and branches, which

try.
Mr.. stainsby's report also shows that
the debts of Monmouth and Hunterdon,
two counties governed by Democrats,
have decreased during the past year.
There are other items in Mr.. Stains

affairs of those, counties controlled by
Democrats are in a healthier shape than
these where the Republicans rule, bur
