Sad Plight Of Our Men.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The startling
story which came through Associated
Press channels to-day from Hong Kong
describing the situation in the First
Nebraska regiment at Manila created
something of stir Mt the war depart
ment. The dispatch was not permitted
to go frOrn Manila, where the censor
ship pencil intercepted Soft became
necessary to send it from Hong Kong.
The dispatch proves what had been
suspected here for some time, that the
condition of the volunteer troops on
the island of I4uzon is not as cheerful
as General Otis has portrayed it, and
that the censor at Manila is making his
power felt.
No dispatch received from Manila
had been read with deeper interest at
the war department than that which
was sent by the Associated Press via
Hong Kong. War department. officials
and army officers did not care to be
quoted upon the subject, but the COM
ment generally among army officers
was that the troops which had been
fighting SO long and continuously, were
exhausted and were really in need of
rest. 1t was explained that the men
did not fear fighting, but after fighting
and marching and constant picket du-
ty they were tired out and much ex-
hausted. Some Of the army officers
suggested that the action of the Ne
braska regiment was like town meet
ing, and that the army could not be
conducted upon such lines. Comment
was made to the effect that the dis
patches indicated that the various reg
iments were on duty constantly and
that there was no reserve TO relieve
them when they reached the limit of
endurance.
1t was stated by an officer in the de-
partment that one reason why it had
been impossible to relieve the volun-
teers with regulars now at Manila was
because the regulars recently sent to
the Philippines were at least two thirds
recruits, and were necessarily untrain-
ed and lacked the discipline of the vol
unteers who are now veterans. It is
believed that General Otis did not care
to risk the hard fighting to unframed
men and that he desires the volunteers
to remain at the front because he is
sure of them in any emergency.

Cotton Acreage Reduced.

WAsnrNcroN, D. G., May 1o.-The
cotton crop report for May indicates
merely the belief of correspondents on
May 1st as to the intentions of planters
regarding the acreage to be planted
and Mi the estimates are liable to mod
ification during May.
They should be regarded merely as
q general indication of the strength.
of the apparent tendency toward en-
largement or reduction Of acreage. In
every cotton growing State the indica-
tions on the 1st inst, pointed to reduc-
ton Of acreage, with corresponding
decrease in the sale of fertilizers and
increased acreage in varions food
crops.
The probable reduction by States is
as follows: In Mississippi ard Indian
Territory, S per cent; Alabama, =
Texas, 8; Arkansas, 10; South Caro-
lima, II; Louisiana, 10; Georgia, 13

Food Adulterations.

The adulteration of food products
has proceeded in this country to an
alarming extent.
1t is estimated that the people of the
United States spend no less than S5.-
000, 100000 Il year for food and that
nine-tenths of this money is paid for
articles OF food which are more or less
adulterated. All food adultcrations are
not injurious to health, though great
majority of them, probably nine-tenths
are so in greater OF less degree.
Flour, coffee and syrup are among
the articles of common use which are
most rarely found pure, but the list of
impure food products offered to the
public and palmed Oft upon it includes
almost every species of food and drink.
The adulteratiOns Of drinks from whis-
kies, brandies, wines, cordials and
beers to milk and mineral waters are
almost innumerable. The art of adul-
terating food has been carried to a very
fine point by American ingenuity and
has proved immensely profitable to
those who practice it, while it has ull-
dOubtedly worked great damage to the
general health. A report of the Con-
necticut agricultural experiment sta
tion on foods made only few days ago
shows te what an eSteiit frauds OF this
character are perpetrated III that State.
Sausages were found to be embalmcd
with boracic acid and oysters also.
Forty three samples of fruit jelly out
of 63 examined were impure. Out OF
40 samples of jams, marmaladcs, etc,
only three were found to be pure.
Adulteration of this kind suggests to
the Charleston News and Courier the
fact that there is large opening in the
South for the manufacture and prepa-
ration of pure jellies, jams, pickles and
many other articles of food which it is
hard to find unadulterated. Both fed
eral and State legislation have been
directed against food adulterations but
they seem to become common in spite
of all efforts to check and prevent
them.
1t is a wise man who knows what he
is eating nowadays.-Atlanta Journal.

Ready to go to Manila
"JOHN -. LONG,
Secretary Navy

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 12.-Gen.
Joe Wheeler is in Chattanooga, where
he met the river and harbor committee
OF Congress tonight to go with the
members down the Tennessee River.
The committee is looking at the river
with view of making recommended
tions as to an appropriation to carry OH
necessary work and develop the river.
Gen. Wheeler gave cut an interview
to-day, in which he criticised Speaker
Reed for his failure to recognize him
on the floor of the House the last day
of the session. He said: "That was
part and parcel of Reeds assumption
of authority which the Constitution did
not give him. The Constitution states
that the House shall be judge of the
election and qualification of it's men,
bers. This means that the majority
vote shall determine this question by Il
vote of more than 2tO 1. They refused
to even consider the question of declar-
ing the seat vacant, and even after
that Ny. Reed, in direct violation Of the
Constitution, assumed to decide this
question for himself. But that was
all right, am still here; it did not
hurt me-"
Gen. Wheeler will resign from Con-
gress if he is sent to the Philippines for
active service as general in the regu-
lar army. In regard to the matter he
said:
81 will do just what the President
tells me to do in regard to my seat in
Congress. If he says for me to go to
Manila with the army and there are no
signs Of peace, will resign from Con-
gress, otherwise will retain my seat
i'll the next House Of Representatives.
"I would like to see active service
very much; in fact, it is my only desire.
want to go to the Philippines and
help whip the insurgents there
Talking Of the Confederate Reunion,
Gen. Wheeler said:
alt is pleasant to see that thirty four
years after the close of the war Con-
fedcrate Veterans and their sons are
more cordial and earnest in their sup
port of the Government than people in
some of the other localities. The peo-
pie of the South were earnest in asking
for service in the field, and it is graft
flying to know the Government has not
been embarrassed by any criticism
from the Southern people, and that no
Southern Governor has asked for the
discharge and return home of our vol
unteer soldiers. 1t is also gratifying
to see that when Governors of other
States have made such requests. South
ern people have begged to bo allowed
to take their place in the front of the
battle."vNc,D York Tribune.

OUR STEEL INDUSTRY ADVANCE.
Tribute From the President of Iron
 and Steel Institute of England.

London, May 10.-The annual meet ing of the Iron and Steel institute was opened in the civil engineers hall, Westminster, today. The hall WAS crowded with an international gathering. Among those present were MT. s. T. Wellman Of Cleveland, O., and MT. Bertram s. Somers of Chi cago. The councils reports were read, showing that there were .552 members, among the new members being King Oscar of Sweden and Nor way. The reports deplored the death of Bessemer.
 The new president, William Chan dIer Roberts-Austen chemist and as- saver of the Royal mint, who succeeds Mir. Edward Pritchard Martin, was then installed and delivered his in augural Address. The new presidents address wa largely retrospective, this being necessary, he said, by the fact that he would be the last president of the century. In bidding the century farewell he paid tribute to it as the grandest in respect of industry in the worlds history. He devoted his at tention to consideration of the Brit ish efforts in the developments of iron and steel. As president of the Iron and Steel institute and at the same time serving in the royal mint, he said, he was in a sense connected with the iron and the golden age. Tn his ofidal career in the mint he had been responsible for the fineness of more than e121, 100000 in gold coin.
 Metallurgy in America, he said, was so interwoven with the British that 1t was proper that he should make brief reference to four men prominent tn- dustrially in America. Describing ''our dear Holley's' 1abors in behalf of the Bsssemer process he statsd that from the time the first change was blown in Troy in 1865, Ame-ica had produced 61 ,000, 900 tons of Besse~ mer steel. Abram s. Hewitt's works he said, installed the first Bessemer converter, and t was Hewitt who in stalled the fist open-hearth converter in the United States He alluded to the Iabors of John Futz and Prof. Henry M. Howe, to whom, he said. was due the fact that America now ex- ported 1000, 900 tons Of steel annually whereas twenty years ago she export ed none.
