TARIFF ON FARM PRODUCTS.
New Jersey Farmer Suggests That
Course as Remedy.

New Jersey Futher SUGGESTS Ihat
Course as a Remedy.
Washington, June 23.-The farming in
terests were represented before the in
dustrial commission to-day by two wit
nesses, Richman Coles and Samuel B.
Ketchum, New Jerseys farmers
The former said there was a general
feeling that conditions might improve
that prices for products were generally
lower, while farm hands wages were
higher than formerly. In twenty-five
years farms in his section had deprecated
so per cent. in value.
The depreciation OF prices which he said
was not so great. was attributed to compe-
tition from the West and South. He
thought putting farm products on the same
tariff basis as manufactures would save
the United States over $500 10000 now sent
abroad.
Mr.. Ketchum contended that the in
crease in population in the near future
would result in making the demand for
farm products equal TO the supply.

YELLOW FEVER SPREADING.
Inspector DOane, of Havana, Stricken
and House Isolated.

HAVANA, Jan. S-This morning two
large Spanish flags appeared over the
Clerks and the Asturianos Clubs, facing
the principal plaza. Their appearance cre-
ated considerable adverse comment among
the Cubans, who, it is said, requested Gov
ernor General Brooke to have the flags re-
moved. No action was taken in the matter
at headquarters, where it is generally con-
ceded that Spanish flags may float as well
as those of other natiOnalities. To-day Gen.
Brooke appointed Colonel Tasker II. Bliss,
collector of customs at Havana, to be sec
retary of the Treasury Department, sub
ject to confirmation by Washington. Colonel
Bliss will begin his new duties tomorrow.
Surgeon General Sternberg has recon-
mended the old Spanish camp known as Las
Animas as the best site for a yellow fever
hospital for the United States troops. The
proposed site is about two miles from the
city, on the heights of Jesus.
Inspector Doane, who was sent here by
the secretary of war to act as inspector of
customs, has been sick since Wednesday.
Yesterday morning he was visited by Sur
geon General Sternberg and other medical
men, who diagnosed the case as yellow
fever already well advanced. The house
was Immediately isolated. Inspector Doane,
who was formerly in the New York custom
house, had been attended by DR.. C.. G.
Joliffe. The latter is discharged army con-
tract surgeon, who came saying that he
would establish hospital. DR.. Jolffe was
arrested yesterday afternoon by the United
States authorities and locked up on charge
of practicing without license, unlawfuny

ious.

President McENinIey's Proclamation
Received with RidicuIc When
1t Was Read.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The War Depart.
ment received another dispatch to-day from
Major General Otis, commanding the United
States troops in the Philippines. The of
ficials observe unusual reticence with re-
spect to it's contents, but it is understood
that the information contained is not of an
lnfaVOrable character or such as TO give
undue concern 10 the administration. So
far as the officials are willing to admit the
dispatch shows no material change in the
conditions existing at the time of previous
advices. One Cabinet officer tonight said
it contained nothing of a character alarm-
ing, serious or exciting. There had been no
not a shot had been fired. The dispatch.
however, is believed to have been of suffi-
cient Importance to bring to the immediata
attention of the President, and the latter.
Secretary Alger, Secretary Long and Adju-
tant General Corbin were in conference for
some time at the White House during the
afternoon, presumably on that matter The
Presidents proclamation to the Filipinos
had been published in Manila. but General
Otis did not say to what extent it had been
made known to the inhabitants in the other
parts of the group of islands, nor whether
place General Miller has been directed TO

the transports there, but the dispatch from
General Otis did not indicate whether this

MANILA, Jan. S.-Colonel Potter, the

which are not edible. The averages of the
analyses of American meat products now
available give percentages of protein in
fresh beef rump 14.6 per cent, tenderloin 1916
per cent. and other cuts not far from the
same amount. The averages for canned beef
are: Boiled beef q per cent and canned
beef 20 per cent. The proportions of fat
in the canned meats analyzed was relatively
smaller, doubtless because the leaner meat
was used for canning. The value of meat,
as of other food. for nourishment depends
on it's digestibility, that is. on the proper
ton of nutritive material that is absorbed
from the digestive tract during its passage
through the body. Numerous tests have
been made of the digestibility of fresh meats
ordinarily cooked for eating The num-
Der of experiments made with canned meats
is smaller, but there is no reason to as
sumo any considerable difference between
the two. Nearly all the protein of beef as
it is ordinarily eaten is digested and assim-
Hated by the system. The high nutritive
value of properly cooked canned meat is
therefore well settled by accurate expert
ment

how, with the numerous views. each so di-

else rising. popular as well a military

on the eve of great crisis, not without
analogy to that which she traversed one
hundred years ago, and which eliminated as
this one is likely to result-namely, in the
establishment of a Bonaparte on the throne
of France as an Emperor by the will of the
French people.
