tinues as good as it 10 at present.

the previous week the business OF
which was curtalled considerably on
account of the wet weather. Wheat
took a hard tumble during the past
week, and the local price today is
80 cents lower than last Friday. Lo-
cal buyers hold different views re-
garding the future price OF wheat.
Some think that as the Letter deal
has collapsed. wheat will not go
higher than the present figures, while
others claim that the actual short
age will force the price up again in
the near future. With the drop in
wheat there was q decline In the
price OF mill products, and a further
decline may occur in the next week.

small.

GERMANY AND MANILA.

Nv way of London we again have re-
ports that Germany intends interfering
with our operations at Manila Anent
these reports. however. the Baltimore
SUMS washington correspondent says
that this government has the most direct
and positive information that Germany
has never contemplated such step, and
is not now moving toward It's execution,
either alone or with other Powers.
There Is. adds the Suns correspondent,
the highest official authority for saying
that all such reports, however circum-
stantial, are attributed to malicious
purpose 10 embitter the feeling between
Germany and the United States, and in
the main, have originated outside of Ger
many.
In short, the situation as repre-
sented. not only by the Suns Washing
ton correspondent, but by other well-in-
formed correspondents at Washington
IS that the Government OF the United
States has accepted unhesitatingly and
without question the expressions by the
German Government of its steadfast de-
termination 10 adhere strictly TO the OBJ
servance of neutrality. And. although
Germany has refrained from issuing a
formal declaration of neutrality, the State
Department understands perfectly well
that there are good and sufficient reasons
for this course in Germany's case.
While these assurances are pleasant
they are hardly necessary. Despite the
anti-American feeling displayed by some
of the German papers, we have never
anticipated that Germany would render
herself obnoxious TO us in the present
war. Considering the attitude towards
us OF Great Britain-the greatest naval
power on the globe-and Russia

end be seriously affected by antagonizing
the United States. Moreover, Germanys
general policy Of commercial expansion
dictates that she keep on good terms
with us. Under international law and
precedent. Germany would have certain
rights in the matter of protecting her
citizens at Manila, and these rights this
government could but recognize should
IL become necessary for her to exercise
them. But they could be exercised with

tates against the assumption that Ger

THE TRAMP ORDINANCE.

There is another hitch I'm the matter
of passing the tramp ordinance. The
Board Of Aldermen at its meeting last
Tuesday night so amended the measure
as II came from the lower branch as
that It shall not apply to residents OF
this city
A special meeting o. the Common
Council has, however. been called for
Tuesday night next in order to consider
the ordinance az amended, and it is to
be hoped that the lower branch Will
concur in the action of the Board.
Unless this shall be done, the whole
question will have to go over to the new
Council. and be brought up de novo.
BY some it is contended that the
Boards amendment greatly weakens the
ordinance. But, be that as 1t may the
measure as amended will be great i'm

DIR. WALLET ON CIGARETTES.
Explains Popular Errors an" 1e'
what Chemistry Proves.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. June H.
J. w. Mallet Professor OF Chemistry IN
the University Of Virginia was seen py
a representative of the Richmond DIS
patch. and was asked to give some au-
dtionai information In regard to an ex-
animation made by him OF cigarettes o.
American manufacture. the results OF
which appeared in a recent issue OK the
Scientific American.
DIR. Mallet said: "The publication in
question has brought upon me quite
large and unexpected correspondence, ana
the contents of a number or the letters
received have surprised and somewhat
amused me. Many of them indicate
rather remarkable ignorance as to the
objects and the results of chemical analy-
sis. Some of the writers seem to think
that have merely tried TO support pre-
formed opinions by an array OF figures
in scientific form. Chemistry however,
as all true sciences. has nothing to do
with opinions, or with what We wish 10
believe, and deals simply with facts.
IL regards cigarette merely as so much
matter the nature and constituents OF
which are to be ascertained by careful ex-
pertinent. IL any one chooses TO believe
that opium and arsenic are used in
making cigarettes. and chemistry says
that such a person Is wrong. that Is
not because chemistry champions ciga-
rettes Chemistry ascertains and asserts
truths, and is regardless of any result
otherwise than as an established fact.
THE objection often made to the con-
flicting character of expert testimony"
does not hold good in this case. Where
there is unanimity on the part Of all
investigators as to a wel-determ.ned fact
1t is impossible TO imagine that all are
in error.
but the public is steadfast in many Of
its misconceptions. You can scarcely
make people believe that the dark stain
left on the fingers OF the smoker Is not
nicotine, but tar produced from the fibre
Of tobacco by the heat of the burning
leaf. The name nicotine has come TO be
popularity attached to this tarry sub
stance, and it is not easy to get people
to understand that it is quite a different
thing from the alkaloid to which the
term properly applies.
THE paper used for cigarette wrappers
Is pure, and analysis detects in IT only the
natural material Of the vegetable fibre
from when il Is made. The tobacco is
pure and free from adulteration. These
are the simple facts. 1 merely state them
as scientific results of analysis. and have
nothing TO do with any conclusions that
may be drawn from them"

NOT IN THE SOUTH.

We pause amid the excitement OF the

crime, and that the average paper at the

subject of this southern institution re-
mains silent and calm under the present
provocation 70 break forth.
The performance, in all of its features
was of the regulation kind that hereto
fore has been the fruitful inspiration OF
hystericAi moralizing on the part of those
contemporaries, but It has been treated
with almost absolute serenity.

clusion that war is not only demoralizing,
but a nerve tonic, save for the fact that
the latest lynching followed Immediately
upon a similar demonstration in State
