BRITISH CABINET CHANGES.
Several Looked For on Account Of
Premier Salisbury's Contin-
ned Ill Henlth.

London. March 1s.-The interest Of the
English political world now centers in the
Marquis of Salisbury's health and the air
is full of rumors of impending changes in
the cabinet. 1t is believed he will remain
premier, but the reconstruction Of the cab
met is probable during the Easter recess.
The temporary installment Of Mr.. A. ].
Balfour, the first lord of the treasury. and
government leader in the house of COM
mons. at the head of the foreign Office, ex-
ercsed the minds of all parties. The Lib
eral Unionists deny it has any significance
likely to prejudice their political status. and
insist it Is merely stop-gag arrangement.
Mr.. Balfour has no special training or
liking for foreign affairs, but, he is warm
ly in sympathy with his uncles views in
regard to the present troubling information
al relations, and the fact that he was
chosen to direct the foreign office indicates
that his policy for the present. at least.
will be conducted upon the Marquis of
Salisburys lines.
It is regarded as certain that Mr.. George
n. Curzon. the parliamentary secretary for
foreign office, will be admitted into the
cabinet at the first opportunity: He has
made rapid advances in the estimation of
politicians, especially during the past few
weeks. Even his political opponents and
important weekly papers are sounding his
praises for the skillful manner in which he
has handled ticklish questions in the house
of commons.

FAVORS A PURE FOOD LAW.
Secretary Wilson Wants Filled
Cheese, Buttcrine and Corn Flour
Sold on Its Merits Only.

Cheese, Buttcrine and Corn Flour
Sold on Its Merits Only.
Washington, March 1s.-Secretary Wilson
| is trying to impress upon congress the ne
cessity of passing a pure food law that will
protect the export trade in honest agricul-
tural products from the designs of specula-
tors and INSCRIPTIONS producers of bogus
and adulterated foods. He does not demand
prohibition. for that would be impractical
BILE, but insists that all articles OF food
that are sent to foreign markets should bear
certificate of government inspection and
that they are exactly what they pretend
to be. If filled cheese is exported it should
go on the manifest as filled cheese. and the
purchaser on the other side Of the water
should be made fully aware that he is not
buying the genuine article. The same with
ated with cornmeai. There is nothing un-
healthfnl about it. 1t is probably Just as
nourishing as If 1t were all wheat, but it Is
flour. and the secretary insists that every
barrel should be marked 'i5 per cent
pure" or 80 per cent pure" or bear some
other inscription that will enable the buyer
to know exactly what its contents are.
Nothing can be more outrageous" said
the secretary, than for man to attempt
or what is not the article 1t is represented
to be. This is the meanest kind of swind-
ling. To take the cream. which is worth 20
replace It with with % cheap % substitute ev Worth d i
or cents a pound and sell it to men who
are laboring to support their families is ac-
tual robbery. The amount is small. to be
sure. 1t is the difference between 2 cents
and 20 cents. but the principle is the same,
and it is Just as bad to rob man of a
shilling as of 81, 100000.
This great country. with the fertility of
its lands. the ingenuity and industry of its
people, the development of its manufactur-
ers, is getting ready for an enormous for
eign trade and will soon be able to feed tho
whole world. We can produce meats, dairy
products breadstuffs, poultry and every
thing that the manufacturing communities
of Europe require cheaper than 1t can be
obtained elsewhere. but We can easily de-
stroy our foreign markets by imposing bo-
gus goods upon the importers Of Europe,
and the temptation for INSCRIPTIONS trad
ers to take advantage Of the situation is
very great. If some Of US send honest
creamery butter abroad and others send
in the same kind of package
and under the same label, sooner or later
the fraud will be exposed and the whole ma
tion will suffer for 1t. have no objection
to the exporting of oleomargarine. but it
should be shipped under that name. and
not as butter, The department of agricul-
ture is making earnest efforts to introduce
American foods into all the foreign markets
and extend the trade in honest goods, and
we want to make 1t impossible for any ras-
cal to destroy the results of our labor" y

WANTS GASOLINE INSPECTED.
Inspector Wharton Not Satisfied with
the Fees ON Coal Oil and
Water Only

Topeka. Kas.. March 1s.-(SpeciaI) State
OIL Inspector Wharton is in favor Of the
passage Of law extending the inspection
to gasoline. The present law only covers
ccal oil. Wharton says that IL gasoline
was included that the state would get
considerable more money.
I don't know about the state getting
any more, said a state officer to-day
but It might be good thing for the oil
insL ector."
Mr.. Wharton thinks he might be able
to detect the difference between gasoline
and water.
The Republican committee has decided
to bottle up that barrel of water at Gar
nett, which State OH Inspector Wharton
inspected and pronounced ''coal OIL 100
degrees" for campaign purposes this fall.
