Alum is used by many bakers to
Written their bread, enabling them
to Use an inferior flour, and ii is also
employed as cheap substitute for
cream of tartar In the manufacture
of baking powder. Its use in bread
and baking powder is very detri-
mental To health, producing dyspep-
STA and obstinate constipa lion, and
under certain conditions OF the hui
man system results in poisoning.
What these conditions are 50 far as
each individual Is concerned can
only be surmiscd: some popularity
Of the system producing a morbid
change in the secretious of the Stom-
ach with which the alum combines
and forms an active poison; or, the
secretions may be healthy bat in
abnormal proportions, and these les
ser or greater proportions i'm cumhi-
nation with the alum constitute a
poison just as two parts OF mercury
and two parts chlorine form calomel
which is not poisonous, while one
part of mercury aud two parts of
chlorine yield corrosive suhlimate,
which is most deadly poison.

ANTl-CoNTRAcT LABOR LAWS.
WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
The Bill Reported Back to Senate
With Amendments Covering All
immigration Questions.

| WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 - Senator
Fairbanks, from the Senate Committee
on Immigration, to-day reported back
to the Senate the bill extending the
anti-contract labor laws of the United
States to Hawaii, with amendments
making the bill cover all immigration
questions. The amendments specifically
include the Chinese exclusion Acts.
| The bill was accompanied by a writ
| ten report, in which the committee
says:
i THE committee is of the opinion that.
since the Hawaiian Islands have come
within the jurisdiction and authority
of the United States, our immigration
| laws sohuld be SO extended as to pro-
| tect the citizens and laborers in those
islands from invasion by immigration of
undesirable subjects or citizens of other
countries.
Under the municipal legislation of
the Hawaiian Islands, the Importation
of contract laborers is expressly sane
| toned This class Of immigration
forms by far the larger portion of the
| Objectionable elements now being I'M
ported into the islands, and is entirely
repugnant to the policy Of the United
States.
"Since the passage of the joint resOlu-
ton of annexation there has been de-
cided impetus given to the Importation
of contract laborers into the islands by
the sugar plantation owners The COM
mittee is informed that each vessel
| from Asiatic countries is increasing the
| list of contract laborers, and unless
some restrictive measures are adopted
the number must shortly be still fur
ther augmented.
1.-The joint resolution annexing the
| islands to the United States provided
| for the exclusion of Chinese in the fol-
lowing language: There shall be no
further immigration of Chinese into
the Hawaiian Islands, except upon such
conditions as are now or may be here
after allowed by the laws of the United
States
This provision the committee regards
as inadequate inasmuch as it does not
provide for apprehending and deportins
Chinese immigrants, should they land
in contravention of the terms of the
ioint resolution above mentioned. It
| is therefore deemed essential that the
provisions of the Chinese exclusion
Acts. as well as the discriminating inn
migrati laws of the United States,
should be promptly extended for the
protection and welfare of the citizens OF
Hawaii

SKATERS RESCUED.
Five Of the Six Persons Thought te
Have Been Lost Saved.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Five Of the six
persons who were thought to have been
lost on the ice last night were rescued
this morning. They were: Elmer D..
Brothers. of 4351 North Ashland ave-
nue.; Orel Manney, his niece, same res
idence; Chauncey Nancy his nephew,
same residence; George Malley, 1S
years of age, of Lake Forest; ]. W.
Carous, Is years old. of Lake Forest;
Arthur Fletcher of Rogers Park, who
was reported missing, was found at his
home this morning. Both his feet were
frozen.
Fletcher says that about o'clock
last evening he and three others were
skating on the lake near Calvary Gem
etery, when they saw Brothers and his
party The latter were cut off from
shore by a crack in the ice that in
places was 100 feet wide. He told
Brothers he would go to the shore and
get a boat, which he did. When he
returned, however, Brothers was not
in sight, and Fletcher searched nearly
all night for him and his companions.
Fletcher fell in the water twice during
his wanderings in the dark, and it was
with great difficulty that he finally
reached shore with both of his feet
frozen.
The strangest feature of the rescue
was the fact that two distinct parties
which had been carried out on the ice
at two widely separated points met
each other during the night, Joined
their fortunes and were saved together
Captain Fountain of the Chicago life
saving station, organized a party of
rescuers and left early in the morning
for Rogers Park. The party went to
Sherman avenue first, and there saw
what seemed to be a group of persons
on the ice about two miles and half
from shore Captain Fountain and his
crew. ran out their boat. and signalled
the group on the ice. Mallory skated
as near the boat as he could get, and
told Fountain that he and his COM
panions were safe. The rescuers start
ed across the ice on foot and soon had
Brothers and the others safely in the
boat and landed on shore.
All of the party were taken to the
residence of E. F. Krush, 1135 Chase
| avenue where they were attended to
by a physician. Miss Manney had been
wrapped up in two big ulsters that the
| men in the party gave her, and, al
though she suffered great deal from
the severe cold, no serious results are
anticipated.

Loot q Saloon Keepers Home Of
Six Thousand Dollars in Gold
and Silver and Jewe1ry Amounts
ing to Five Hundred More.

| SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-Ths
assembly hall Of the Chamber of Com
merce was crowded to the door this
afternoon. and standing room was at a
premium. The occasion for this dis
play of enthusiasm was the reception
rendered Admiral Lord Charles Beres-
ford, r. N, by the Chamber Of Com-
merce of this city. Lord Beresford was
entertained in his official capacity as
representative of the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce of Great Britain.
The assemblage which greeted the
distinguished gentleman was com-
posed of the great merchants of this
| city, representatives of the diplomatic
corps, the army, the navy and the Ma
tional Guard of California and Of the
principal commercial bodies of San
Francisco, besides several representa-
tives of the Federal service.
The entrance of Lord Beresford to,the
assembly room was the occasion of q
very pronounced ovation.
! Vice President Newhall introduced
Lord Beresford with few felicitious
| remarks. He touched upon the incre as
| ing friendship existing between the
United States and Great Britain, aid
expressed the hope that the situation
ther increase the great spirit of friend
ship of the two English-speaking a.
tions. Mr. Newhall praised the woll-
derful navy of Great Britain, and said
that it's growth was really the founda-
tion of commercial supremacy of Great
| Britain.
| Hon. James D. Phelan, Mayor of San
Francisco, then said few yords of
welcome to Lord Beresford, after which
| that gentleman addressed those pres
ent. He followed the same general
vein outlined by him in the interview
| with him set out by the Associated
Press on Friday last.
Concerning the "open door policy, he
took the view that it means simply that
instead of spheres of influence"
which means the breaking up of the
| Chinese Empire, that England, Amer
| lea, Germany and Japan shall by agree
ment maintain free and equal CONNER
cial relations for all in the Orient 1t
includes the reorganization of the
Chinese armies into one imperial army
instead of numerous provincial armies,
officered both as to commissioned and
non-commissioned officers of Eu-
ropeans, so that the Chinese Empire
may be properly policed and life and
property made safe. AS 1t is now, mobS
and rebellions are liable at any time to
destroy both lives and property, as ac-
tually happened not long ago, when
about 100000 taels' worth of property
belonging to the French mission in
Western China was destroyed.
He spoke very fiatteringly concerning
the achievements of the American navy
and of the growth of American influence
fhrn 10
his greatest satisfaction at the firmer
union of ties of friendships existing be-
| tween England and the United States.
At the close of Lord Beresford's re-
marks short addresses were made by
Horace Davis, Judge Morrow and
other prominent speakers, after which
an opportunity was given the members
of the chamber to meet the distinguish
ed guest.
