Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Prof. Harvey w.
Wiley of Indiana, chief chemist of the De-
partment of Agriculture will appear before
the House committee on interstate COM
merce on Friday and tell what he knows
about adulterants in food and drink. This
is a subject to which Professor Wiley has
given his professional attention for many
years and no man in the United States is
better posted than he. The House committee
will take up the Brossius pure food and
drink bill at it's meeting on Friday. The pur-
pose Of the bill is to make a general appli-
cation of the principle on which the oleo-
margarine law is based, to the articles of
food and beverages as we'll that enter into
the daily bill of fare of the people and COM
pei manufacturers to label their goods for
precisely what it is. "A pure food bill hung
fire in Congress for several years and was
then dropped This one is grounded on a
different theory, however, and finds con-
gressional favor. Beer, among other things,
is included in the Brossius enumeration of
articles that must be sold for precisely
what it is. Professor Wiley has been MAX
ing extensive analysis of beers produced in
the principal brewing centers.
Representative Henry U. Johnson was the
first of the Indiana delegation to put in an
appearance to-day. While Mr.. johnson is
still somewhat mixed as to where to cast
anchor after he leaves Congress- he feels

DEEP WATERWAYS.
Report OF the Board of Engineers
Presented to Congress.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-The board of en-
gineers on deep waterways on Nov. 80 sub
mitted to the secretary of war a report
which was to-day presented to Congress. The
work as executed under the direction of the
board has been confined to the following
specific Investigations: The control Of the
level of Lake Erie, the projected Niagara
ship canal, the Oswego Mohawk
route. the st. Lawrence hamplain route. A
measurement of the discharge from Lake
Erie was made and determination of the
slopes in the Niagara river secured. Two
routes were surveyed for the purpose of To-
eating a ship canal around Niagara falls,
one leaving the Niagara river at Tonawanda,
N. Y, passing a short distance west Of Lock-
port and reaching Lake Ontario at Olcott,
the other leaving the Niagara river at La
Sale, five miles below Tonawanda, and en-
tering the Niagara river near Lewiston, be-
low the falls and rapids These surveys
were completed between terminals above
named, with the exception of diamond drill
borlngs which are still IN progress at lock
sites These borings will probably be com
pleted in two months. In order TO complete
the surveys between deep water in Lake Erie
and deep water in Lake Ontario, small sur
NeyS Will have to be made at the mouth OF
the Niagara river and at Olcott harbor.
The OsWego -Oneida-Mohawk route is the
designation given to the portion of the pro-
posed waterway embraced between deep
water in Lake Ontario in front of Oswego,
n. Y, and the mouth Of the Mohawk river
at West Troy, N. Y. The survey Of this line
has been completed with the exception of a
small number of borings in the OsWego river
and explorations with the diamond drill at
sites of locks and dams. a small amount of
work remains to be done near the eastern
terminus of the route. 1t is expected that
the field work will be completed within three
months. The ST. Lawrence Champlain route
connecting deep water in the St. Lawrence
river below the outlet of Lake Ontario with
deep water in the Hudson below Albany was
also surveyed, with the exception of few
miles in the vicinity of Massena, N Y, and
certain sections in Lake st. Francis and
Lake Champlain and borings in the Hudson
river below Albany. This work probably
will be completed in two months. small

Prediction OF GOLD.
Estimates of Agents of the Director

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Hon. George e

from the officials and agents of the bureau
their preliminary estimates upon the pro-
duction of gold in the several producing
States and Territories of the United States

to be approximately correct Nearly all
of the States show an increased production:
Colorado maintains and increases its lead
by larger addition to its product than in
any previous year. The production of Cali
fornia was considerably reduced by prevail
ing drought, which affected the output of
the placers, but the increase from lode
mining has slightly more than offset this
reduction. Returns are given below and

production of the same States and Terrific

Cnhle Comnanies wand pamnges.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Another disagree
able consequence of the late war has been
the presentation to the government of claims
of cable companies for damages sustained,
through the suspension of their business by
the United States military and naval forces.
What the aggregate amount Of these claims
will be cannot be foretold. The companies
in each case base their claims upon the
number of days of interruption to business,
estimating the loss each day by the records
of business transacted in corresponding
periods in former years The State De-
partment is puzzled in dealing with these
claims. There is no exact precedent for
them, and it is realized we must make some
more international law to meet the case.

To Pay state Ginning.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The secretary of
war to-day transmitted to Congress a letter
from the state claims commission, recon-
mending legislation to provide for the pay
ment of all meritoriOus claims for mater
ials and supplies furnished and services
rendered by individuals during the Spanish
American war, together with a draft of a
bill to accomplish that purpose. The COM
mission states that there are claims which
cannot be paid without legislation, the
present act provides for the reimbursement
only of Governors of States and Territories.
The War Department concurs in the views
of the commission.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
President Mckinley PardOns Twelve
Leech Lake Indians.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-The President
has pardoned the twelve Leech lake Indians
sentenced to various terms Of imprisonment
and fined at the late term Of the United
States District Court for Minnesota, for re-
sisting the United States marshal in making
an arrest. In his recommendation of pardon
the attorney general says: 1.-THE law has
now been indicated and the power OF the
government established by the stern and
severe lesson administered. In my judg-
ment no further punishment is necessary to
enforce the respect of the Indians for the
authority of the Federal Court, and 1 be-
Iieve that executive clemency shown at this
time will be beneficial" The secretary or
the interior concurred in these views
The President also has pardoned William
G.. SOrter, who is now undergoing life SEN
tence for the murder of Albert Lang in IN
dian Territory in 1883. The circumstances
connected with the killing were such as TO
excite great sympathy for SOrter among all
classes of citizens and it is the opinion OF
persons cOnversant with all the facts that
the killing. under the law was manslaughter
and not murder Having now served ten
years, the usual term for manslaughter, the
punishment is deemed adequate to the crime.
A pardon has also been granted in the
cases of Francis Brown, convicted in Con-
necticut in 1897 for making counterfeit coin,
and Nathan Johns. convicted in Indian Ter
ritory Of stealing q horse.

Dewey changes his mind, that date viii not
