Pure Food.

The adulteration of many articles OF
food and the imposition upon the pub
lie of the spurious product as the gen
uine, provoked the investigation which
is now being carried on by committee
of the United States senate.
There is reason to expect practical
and beneficial results from this inquiry,
especially as it seems to be prosecuted
without fear or favor.
We have had many Investigations
under both State and Federal authority
that were fiascos, but the senate COM
mittee which was appointed t. seer
tain the extent of food adulteration in
this country appears to mean business.
It's sessions are held in public and ap-
parently every effort is made to get at
the bottom facts.
Recent reports OF several State agri-
cultural departments and experiment
stations indicate to what an alarming
extent the adulteration Of food pro-
ducts has proceeded. Some OF the
adulterants are harmless, but many OF
them are very injurious. But the palm
ing off of adulterated food products,
whatever may be their composition, is
q fraud which should be suppressed.
The sale of any article of food which is
not precisely what it claims to be should
be absolutely prohibited. 1t it IS a
mixed article, or is adulterated with
elements which are harmless, the fact
should be clearly demonstrated on
every package and dealers should be
required to give ample notice OF the
character Of what they offer for sale.
There are mixed flours which many
persons had as soon use as the genuine
and which many prefer because they
are cheaper, but it should be made IL
legal to sell any such articles as pure
-four. There are many other instances
in point.
Oleomargarine is chemically as pure
as butter and is quite as digestive. On
the whole oleomargarine is benefit to
the country, but the law forbids deal
er to sell oleomargarine as butter.
There is much more need Tor the
protection Of the public from other ar
tifcial and the many adulterated food
products now so thick onthe market
than there ~as for the passage OF the
oleomargarine law. The senate com
mittcc will probably discover and ex-
pose q very large number of food adul-
terations, and congress may take action
in reference to them. But the most
proper and the most effective pure food
legislation must come from the States
This is matter which the Georgia
legislature should consider ndactupor
at its next session.-Atlanta Journal.

CANNOT GO ON
Hope For Recc,,vening the Amer

mission
In August Has Been Practically
Abandoned =. Boundaries
and Lumber
Have Proved Unexpected and Ap.
parently Unsurmountable
Obstacles.
Temper of Neither Side Has Yield.
ed Sufficiently For Hope of
Progress.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-All hope of
reconvening the joint American Can
adian commission in August has been
abandoned. The conference adjourned
after having made good headway, as it
was thought at the time, towards the
draughting of an agreement. Owing to
an unexpected and insurmountable OBJ
atacle in the shape of the lumber and
boundary questions the joint commission
adjourned to meet in August with the
understanding that in the meantime the
members of the two commissions would
test public sentiment. It was also
hoped that some difficulties which had
presented themselves in the settlement
of the work of the commission might in
the interim be removed by diplomatic
negotiations It has now been demon
strated, however, that the temper of
neither side has yielded sufficiently to
warrant the expectation of any success
full result attending the reconvening of
the commission. It is said that our Of
ficials are thoroughly discouraged at
the time-consuming manner in which
the various propositions which have
been put forward are banded back and
forth between London and Ottawa.

And Tom L. johnson For the
Purchase of the Latter's
Property
End in a Disagreement as to
Terms--Co Commission Will
Report
To the Common Council Its Fail
ure to Accomplish Its
Purpose.

DETROIT, Mich, May lo.-Negotia-
tions between the Detroit street railway
commission and Tom L. johnson for
the purchase of the street railways of
Detroit by the city have been declared
of. The commissioners had submitted
an ultimatum as to price and terms.
Mr.. Johnson's reply thereto was SO un-
satisfactory, from the commissioners
standpoint, that they will report to the
common council failure to reach an
agreement with the railway representa-
tives.
1t is asserted the street railway peo
pie refused to recede from their price,
which is stated to be $17,10O,OOO, and
that the commissioners feel that $15,-
100000 is the limit the city ought to
pay, consistently, at least, with the
commissioners avowed purpose of fur
nishing 8 cent fares. It has been stated
that the price named in an option given
by r. T. Wilson Of New York, princi-
pal owners of the roads, was $l5, ,325, 900,
stipulating, however, that the price
named called for cash OF its equivalent.
johnson has maintained from the first
that the equivalent for the cash price is
81, 100, 600 in 4 per cent bonds the same

tire assets Of the company and to be
secured by q franchise to run 80 years.

CHINESE MAY COME IN.

Exclusion Act Doesn't Apply to Now In.
sular Possessions.
WASHINGTON, May l0.-Acting Sec
retary of War Meiklejohn said that the
Chinese exclusion act did not apply to
our insular possessions. Some three
weeks ago an order was issued extend
ing the laws and regulations governing
immigration to the United States to the
territory under military control and
collections of customs were directed to
enforce them pending the establishment
of regular immigration stations. BY
some this order was interpreted to
mean the exclusion of Chinese from
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines.
This is a mistake. Mr.. Meiklejohn says
that the order only extended the reg
ular immigration laws, not the Chinese
exclusion act, and that there was no in
tention for the present of making the
latter act applicable to our insular pos
aessions

Bellef Agatc Expressed That the Ftlt.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-That the war
in the Philippines is nearing close is
now openly predicted in and out of gov
ernment circles. The fact that the con-
tents of a cablegram from General Otis
were given to the public only in part
was freely commented upon, and it is
believed that the portions of the mes
sage suppressed relate to the probability
of an early surrender of Aguinaldo's
forces to the Americans. To strengthen
this belief came the announcement of
the selection of Rear Admiral Watson
to succeed Admiral Dewey in command
of the Asiatic squadron, and the issuing
of orders to Admiral Watson to prepare
to proceed to Manila at an early date.
The Filipinos are making but poor
show of resistance now, and, it is be-
lieved, cannot much longer avoid the
inevitable.
