A NOTED CHEMIST
GIVES HIS VIEWS

Cincinnati, Feb. 2.-Prof. John Tri
Lloyd. a noted chemist who has just re-
turned from Washington and who has
read all the testimony of the war investi
eating commission, says:
About twelve years ago in searching
for an antiseptic drug for preservation
l was led to experiment with salicylic
acid and sodium boracic. 1t is known
salicylic acid has a sweetish taste. That
boracc has an semi-alkaish taste;
neither are bitter. The reaction is not
new discovery for, in following it up,
found it a matter of record but it was not
enlarged upon. e. Johns wrote paper
on it and it can be found in the Archive
Der Pharmacie, volume % CS73) pages 2l2,
213-216. If equal amounts of boraX and
salicylic acid Cor equal weights of each)
are mixed the mixture is bitter. If the
mixture be dissolved in water the solution
is bitter and yields a bitter product on
evaporation that imparts an intensely
bitter after taste, approaching colocynth
in persistence ! think in view of the
turn things have taken that these Facts
should be matter of public record in TINS
country and shall place the result of my
experiment of years in the hands OF the
Cincinnati branch of the American
Chemical society,"

ARE DELAYED BY
THE SNOWSL|DES

Denver, Colo, Feb. 2.-All trans CONT
mental railroad lines leading through
Colorado are tied up by the snow. East
bound trains from Salt Lake on the
Colorado Midland and Denver & Rio
Grande railroads are stalled at GlenWood
Springs being unable to progress further
because of the snow on the tracks. The
westbound trains on these roads have
pushed through the drifts as far as Eag-
lie poss, where they are blocked. Train
No. i, on the Denver & Rio Grande ran
into snow slide near Shoshone, about
nine miles from Glenwood Springs. The
mail car telescoped the tender and the
baggage car was jammed into the
mail car. the mail clerk and
baggage master were badly injured. Their
names have not been learned. The slide
which caused the disaster is about 100 feet
long and 10 feet deep. The road Will pro-
badly be blocked until late this after
noon The Denver & Rio Grande east
bound train No. 9 and the Colorado Mid
land train No 6, east bound are lying at
GlenWood Springs hOpelessly blocked by a.
heav7 snow slide in the Grand Canon
abouI nine miles east. 1t is showing very
heavily. The train crews are apparently
prepared for q long wait. The weather is
mild and favorable to snow slides.

The Sugar War

Chicago, Feb. "A special to the
Record from Detroit says: The commit
tee of three Michigan wholesale grocers
who went to New York for the purpose of
making some arrangement whereby the
sugar war might be stopped have re-
turned home empty handed. They say
Mr.. Havemeyer of the American Refining
company would not enter into any sort
of an agreement with Arbuckle, Doscher
ct al, and that the Michigan tobbers
could buy where they pleased. When
Messrs B. Brace, Lemon and Sanger of
the Michigan Wholesale Grocers' assocla-
ton were in New York they met jobbers
from other western cities and a plan is
now on foot to organize a wholesale gro
GERS trust for the purpose of controlling
the trade In the middle west. A meeting
will be held in Chicago on February to
discuss the possibilities of such a COM
bnatiOn.

HAVE RETURNED
FROM MANILA

San Francisco, Feb. 2.-The steamer
Coptic arrived from Hong Kong and Yo-
kohama, via Honolulu, today, bringing a
large number Of army and navy officers
from the Philippines. Among the pas
sengers was John A. Scrymser, president
of the Pacific Gable company. In an in
terview he expressed himself as encour-
aged to hope the cable would be main
tanned and operated by the United States
government. He was of the opinion that
private capital would not take the risk
of such governmental control. Scrymser
was of the opinion no American cable
could land in the Philippines or on the
Asiatic coast without the consent Of
English companies, which have control
ling contracts with the different govern
ments, some of which run until 1919. The
japanese government, Mr.. Scrymser says,
is willing to go into the proposition under
certain conditions.
Lieutenant c. G. Calkins, who stood on
the bridge with Dewey during the bonn
bardment of Manila, was a passenger on
the Coptic, with a number of other officers
of the army and navy.

WEEKLY REVIEW
OF THE IRON TRADE

New Yor, Feb. 2.-The Iron Age, in
it's weekly review, says: Reports rela-
tive to pools and consultations continue
numerous. The feeling is gaining ground
that the American Tin Plate company
is on the eve Of consummating the control
of the tin bar supply through the pur
chase of the plants of the Shenango VAL
ley Steel company, the Ohio Steel COM
pany, the Bull Steel company, King, Gill
bert & Warner and the Wheeling Steel
and Iron company, having also made
long time contracts with other plants
making tin plate bars in the Pittsburg
and Wheeling districts. The sheet mills
are working on a consolidation similar
in it's lines to that of the tin plate COM
pany and the western bar iron COM
binations. Five Of the largest car build
ers are on the eve of fusing, one Of the
plans being to establish close relations
with the principal steel car building con-
Germs. The cast iron pipe consolidation
does not seem to be making much head
way, although more powerful financial
interests may yet take hand in the
undertaking. The wire rope market is
in peculiar position, being now in COM
plete cOntrOl OF the large Wire interest,
the understanding being that the entire
product of only the large Independent
producer is contra cted for. In the smaller
branches of the wire industry there is
much alarm over the future: Although
it is reported that the requirements Of
the majority of the smaller works are
covered for some time to come.
In the pig iron markets quiet has
reigned so far as the southern makers
are concerned. In districts in which
northern iron cOmpetes, southern prices
are now elatively above the market
The additional offers of large contracts
Of southern iron for export have been
made, but have not been met. Only
moderate business is doing in the central
west in Bessemer pig, which remains
very firm. The open billet market is nat
urally restricted through the fact that
the large lines are now controlled by the
two consultations, who have made their
arrangements in some cases for long Pc
RODS. Pittsburg reports the sale of one
lot of 10000 tons, and Philadelphia notes
a 5000-ton lot. In the rail trade the only
event is the placing recently of an order
for from 10000 to $4,000 tons of girder
rails by the Metropolitan Traction COM
pany with a mill in central Pennsyl-
Vania,

THE BILL Was
KNOCKED OUT
Fellow Servant Law is Still
In Effect
BUT FIVE OPPOSED II
Vigorous Speeches Made in the Senate
--W0rk of the Two Houses
TOday--Bills Introduced.
BUT FIVE OPPOSED IT
Special to the Inter Mountain.

Helena, Feb. 2.-The senate devoted
nearly an hour this morning in commit
tee of the whole considering StantOn's
bill, that if enacted would do away with
what has been called the fellow servant
doctrine" as relating to damages sus-
tanned by employees of railroads. The de-
bate was spirited, but the measure was
indefinitely postponed. Senator Stanton
led off with the debate and was followed
by Myers, who opposed the bill on the
ground that it was an anti-railroad and
anti-financial legislation. Connolly IA
vored the bill, as did Hannah and Norris,
all maintaining that the bill was no more
than justice to railroad men, who, so long
as the ''fellow servant doctrine is en-
forced had no recourse in case they
were injured or crippled for life. Myers
was the only senator who opposed the
bill in a vigorous speech. He claimed it
was but the entering wedge, that if en-
acted would be followed by legislation
applying the same doctrine to mines and
mills, all of which will act to the dis
couragement of capital and the eventual
reduction of wages Of those whom it is
now said to favor. The bill was even
tually defeated, but five favoring it
Stanton, Connolly, Warner, Courtney
and Hannah. Norris would have voted
for it, but he was paired with Clark
Stanton introduced bill making rent
lien upon personal property.
Notices of bills:
By Myers-Two bills amending the
license: also relating to attachments; also
to the establishment of state normal
school at Hamilton.
BY Stanton-Creating a board of sink
ing fund commissioners for towns and

the judiciary committee increasing the
| number of justices of the supreme court

pose of hearing the report. 1t was made
a special order of business.

Cotton and Tobacco

Chicago, Feb. "A special to the
Record from the City OF Mexico says:
c. 2. McKie of New York, who is in the
City of Mexico on his way to Tlahualelo,
in the Durango cotton belt, says that the
1899 crop will amount to 3,500,000 pounds.
In quality he says the Mexican cotton is
better than ever, and will range from the
superior" grade to the good" and
"middling." Wilhelm Wolf of Hamburg,
Germany, has arrived here on a buying
tour. He says that last year Germany
consumed 100000 pounds of Mexican to-
bacco. Since the Cuban supply failed the
German manufacturers have been using
the Mexican leaf.

Town May BE Burned

New York, Feb. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Colon, Colombia, says: Ter
rified by threats of strikers to fire the
town, the merchants have asked for
stronger military protection. The rail-
way officials are confident they could eX-
tinguish fire if set, and the authorities
have prepared to properly respond to an
alarm. The crews of several steamships
waiting on both sides OF the isthmus
to unload have struck. The press hints
that serious international trouble is
likely to arise because the ever Jealous
police have beaten some peaceable for
eigners, mistaking them for strikers.
Several complaints of such abuse are
said to have been lodged at the British
consulate.
