Boston, Feb. 24-By a vote OF 174s to

COLORING
"HOT DOGS"
Facts About Methods of
Sausage Makers.
BROUGHT OUT AT HEARING
How Decayed and Decaying Sub.
stances Are Covsred.
BISMARCK BROWN EMPLOYED.

Boston. Feb. 2i.-The legislative COM
mittee on public health gave a hearing
yesterday on a bill TO prevent the1use OF
coioring matter in meat products, being
directed principally against the use OF
coloring matter in frankfort and bologna
sausages. A Boston representative told
how the manufacturers color these
sausages in order that they may use in
ferior and decayed meat, and make the
sausages look as If manufactured from
good materials. They were so colored
that IL was difficult 10 tell them from
the honestly made goods. They were
sold a little cheaper than the best goods.
Add Sausage Making
Il. Wiedemann, sausage maker. said
that "smock color" or Bismarck brown.
was used as coloring matter eor the outer
skin OF sausages. and he handed to the
committee samples of that stain in pow
der form, and lighter powder used. he
said, for coloring the filling of sausages.
lie left a list OF several other stains
which he said were used in similar ways.
lie could not say that these coloring
compounds were injurious. but said that
the state board OF health was analyzing
some OF them.
AT this point, a plano maker named
Lippman, who happened 10 be one of the
three or four who attended the hearing.
contributed the information that Bis
marck brown was used in his business as
q mahogany stain. He said that when
q workman got IL on his hands II seemed
TO act almost like acid. because It could
not be removed unless the spot were
scrubbed with pumicestone hard enough
TO take off the surface OF the skin. He
had conviction that If it acted in that
way on a mans hands. its effect on his
interior would be something appalling.
Chairman Calender wanted TO know
II the petitioners would not be satisfied
If the committee should report a bill pro-
ciding penalty for anyone who in the
manufacture of sausages should "use
any coloring matter that is Injurious TO
health" without specifying kinds. The
witnesses reluctantly Gssented that such
bill would cover their point.

BOILER THEORY DISPOSED OF.

Washington, Feb. 24.--The only fea.
ture so far as could be discovered. of
real importance as throwing any light
on the cause OF the explosion contained
in letters received from Key West, was
statement that the two boilers in the
after boiler space were all of the eight
boilers of the Maine that were under
steam at the time OF the explosion
This fact had a negative value. for il
disposed at once OF the theory that an
exploding boiler had caused the wreck
The experts all say that by no possibility
could the after boilers explosion have
wrecked the fore part Of the Maine and
left the after part almost unharmed.
Much interest was shown i'm dis
patch from Admiral Sicard giving the
recommendations of Captain Sampson
or the court OF inquiry as to the raising
OF the wreck. Various interpretations
were put on, the expression, forward
half completely destroyed" This was
regarded as = partial confirmation OF
the theory that the forward magazine
had exploded. as that is one of the most
important portions of the forward halt
of the ship. At the same time il was
held by some authorities that the de-
struction OF the forward half OF the
ship did not necessarily mean that the
forward magazine had exploded, as this
might still be intact, although a part
OF the general wreckage. In the abb
sence Of an explicit statement as to the
irward magazine there was a disposi-
on not TO accept implied statements
as To its destruction.
Tie officers here are still thinging OF
Captain Sigsbee's request TO be fur
nished with the plans OF the Names
section through the magazines and coal
bunker pockets. The reference to the
latter leads 10 a desire to be informed
on the exact quantity and quality OF
the coal supply at the time of the ex-
plosion. Ii is said that these pocket
bunkers are rarely emptied, being de-
signed as mGch for the protection OF
the ship against gunboats as for ca
pacity 10 hold coal. One exYert said
that these bunkers i'm his own exaer-
ie~ce mad not been emptied in months.
All OF this has 10 do with the spontan-
eous combustion theory, as the bunkers
abutt on the magazines and might have
set off even the safe brown powder II the
latter were exposed TO a degree OF heat
above 600 degrees for some time. The
request besides may show that Captain
Sigsbee is not yet satisfied as TO the
cause of the explosion. Notwithstanding
the expressions as to tho cause that have
been attributed TO him by unauthorized
persons.

deavor TO conceal ourselves behind 40
transparent cloak" Mr.. Morgan said
that the Cubans had already won their
revolution. and nothing remained but
for them TO continue their belligerent at
titude until Spain would recognize the
republic.
Mr.. Foraker announced his intention
TO vote against the amendment because
IL was sought To make IL rider on an
appropriation bill. lie said he had
voted for the belligerency resolution
adopted a year ago. He had always be-
iieved that a mistake had been made in
not recognizing the be;ligerency rights
OF the Cubans. Mr.. Foraker said: II
think the time is coming for action. The
time for discussion will then be here and
the problem may be appropriately dis
cussed."

Dominant Sentiment in
the u. S. Senate.
NO MINCING OF WORDS.
In the Discussion on the Loss Of
the Maine and on Cuba.
SENATOR ALIENS RESOLUTION.

Washington. Feb. 24.v-Mr. Allen, or
pertinacity in respect of the Cuban
trouble again yesterday. He sought to
corporate general legislation upon an
appropriation bill. The diplomatic
measure had been taken up when the
senator offered as an amendment reso-
luton recognizing the belligerency OF
the Cuban insurgents which was un-
favorably reported a few days ago by
the committee on foreign relations.
He denied that there was any desire to
coerce the house. Congress. he said.
was merely finding some excuse under
which IL could continue business and es-
cape censure. His desire was to find
whether congress could i'm any way be
induced. cajoled or kicked into putting
the country in dignifled attitude on the
Cuban question.
In reply 10 a question as 20 whether
the senate belligerency resolution was
not now before the house, Mr.. Allen re-
piled that it was before the speaker
which was the same thing. He asserted
that he had reliable information that 80
percent OF the Cuban population. or
100000 people, had perished in Cuba
within the past three years as a result OF
Spanish cruelty. Yet" he said. Test
the senate offend the house, a point of
order is to be made against this amend
ment, and IL viii go the way OF very
much valuable legislation" If the Re-
publican party could bear to see Cubans
exterminated by starvation in plain vio-
lation OF its platform and OF the christian
sentiment OF the country. the Republican
senators ought 10 be willing to face the
question on yea and nay vote.
