-ihe Department of Agriculture at
Washington has sent into Maine. Prof.
Frank Lamson-Soribner. formerly of
this State, and now head of the depart
ment of agrcstology in Washington. Prof.
Scrlbner says that with the exception of
New York he knows of no State where
there are SO good opportunities for the
raising of the finer grades of cattle and
of mutton. The grasses of Maine Tor
this purpose are better than any In other
state, except New York, far exceeding
the prairies Of the west. and while the
expense for shelter In winter comes in.
there are opportunities for raising such
crops as will make good fat producing
food for cattle all winter. Though up-
familiar with vegetation on tire big track
81 81. 600 acres said TO be available for
grazing purposes In Wsshinst N county,
he said he had no doubt the pIsss az in
other parts Of Maine, WIS exesllently
adapted to be developed for rails ng cattle
He Thought the idea of some Of the large
ranches In California might be carried out
here.

The power Of the labor unions is being
demonstrated In Bangor by The delays
attending the work on the new Morse
Oliver block, which is to be the largest
building in Bangor, and perhaps the most
deliberately decorated In Maine. 1t Is
said in Bangor that the building was
begun months ago, and 1t was intended
that tie exterior should be completed in
time to allow the workmen to remain at
their labor through the winter ON the in
side. 1t is said that the contractor was
asked by the projectors Of the building to
rush 1t to the finish. Accordingly, he
talked with the bricklayers about hours
and terms. They wanted the established
union rate of $40 for nine hours work.
The contractor agreed, but announced
that he wanted ten hours work done
daily, and agreed to pay at the same rate
giving 50 for the days work. Though
this was no injustice. as either side saw
1t, the union officials found a rule against
mora than nine hours of labor and deeid-
ed not to accept the extra money for extra
time. They said that the Fay was all
right, but the central union would not
allow them to violate the rule against
more than nine hours of work by union
men. That didn't snit the contractor
and the hackers of the building, SO they
employed non-union men who gladly took
50 per day for ten hours. But this was
not the end of 1t. The contractor found
that he could not get brick from the
briokmakers. and In many other ways Q
paralysis seemed to affiict the work, aud
the rapid completion of the work is Out
of the question.

The Boston Journal calls the Philip

setts Republicans carefully prepared
trick played upon an insttsntive com.
mittee and hurrying convention" the
first complaint of the Journal was that
the resolution was not definite enough,
but the more 1t dwells upon 1t the madden
1t gets. 1t is not strange. A newspaper
in the habit Of being dictat1rial
wants its way all the Time But the
best way is to keer cool, and get in linz

OF course 1t was inevitable that Gen.
Shaitsr should take exception to the allie
Cation of Admi ral Sampson that the su r.
render Of Santiago was practically
brought about by the navy. Nevertheless
the fact app ezra to be that the letter sent
20 Gen, Toral was written by Capt
Chadwick, and signed by the General. 1t
is difficult to see what useful purpose was
to re sersed in stirring up this contro-
versy at this time. The navy has had
plenty of credit for its work at Santiago
and this effort on the part of Sampson to
add a little more, was to say the least,
superfluoUs and uncalled for. 1t
is great pity the power was not
lodged somewhere to MAKE the warning
generals and admirals keep the peace.
The country has been "all torn ups for q
yer with the row between Sampson and
Schley and now just as that had become
somewhat composed one Is started
between Sampson and Shafter. As Sec
Rotary Long recently remarked. "There's
glory enough for ALL" Let US have peace.

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS

Names of Some of the Principal
Brands Sold In This Vicinity.
The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system OF
food made with alum baking powders
and the opinions that have been pub
lished from noted scientists to the ef'
feet that such powders render the food
unwholesome, have caused numerous
inquiries for the names of the various
alum powders.
The following list of baking powders
containing alum is made up from the
reports OF State Chemist Nicholson OF
Nebraska, the city chemist of ST. Louis,
the food commission OF Minnesota, or
other reliable authority:
Baking Powders Containing Alum
X. G. Contains Alum
Jaques Mfg. Co., Chicago
CALUMET ........... Contains Alum
Calumet Baking Powder Co.. Chicago.
HOME Contains Alum
Home Baking Powder Co., San Francisco.
WASHINGTON ...... Contains Alum
Pacific Chemical Works. Tacoma.

D. Ferrera T. Co., Tacoma.
BEEHIVE .......... Contains Alum
Washington Mfg. Co., San Francisco.
BON BON. Contains Alum
Grant Chemical Co., Chicago.
DEFIANCE ......... Contains Alum
Portland Coffee and Spice Co., Portland.
PORTLAND .......... Contains Alum
Beno & Balls. Portland.
In addition to these, it is learned
that many grocers are selling what
they call their own private or special
brands. These powders are put up for
the grocer and his name put upon the
labels by manufacturers OF alum pow
ders in st. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City
Tacoma, San Francisco and elsewhere
The manufacturers, it Is said, find thell
efforts to market their goods In this
way greatly aided by the ambition ol
the grocer to sell a powder with his
own name upon the label, especially
when the grocer can make an abnor
NAL profit upon it. Many grocers
doubtless, do not know that the pow
ders they are thus pushing are alum
powders which would be actually con
traband in many section II sold with
out disguise.
It is quite impossible to give thu
names of all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are CONSTANT!
appearing in all sorts of DISCUSSES, un
der all kinds of cognomens, and at al
kinds of prices, even as low as NV
and ten cents pound. They can b.
avoided, however, by the housekeepe
who will bear in mind that all baking
powders sold at twenty-five cents o
less per pound are liable to contain
alum, as pure cream Of tartar bakin
powders cannot be produced at any
l, thing like this price.

Mny Invade Arizona.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. ga special from
Nogales, Arizona, says:
Two gatling guns and detachment OF
artillery from the City of Mexico, via Ell
Paso, have been started southward en-
route to the scene of the Yaqui outbreak.
The troops are being marched across into
the state of Durango to join the troops
now on the ground.
1t is reported that emissaries have been
sent by the Yaqui leaders to the ranches
and mines all over the state of Sonora
wherever the men of the tribe are at work
calling them to arms with their compat'
riots already in the field and many Yaquis
who are employed in the big mining camp
and on haeiendas as laborers have disap
peared.

Omen n Bank Mt Honolulu.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-The first and
only national bank outside Of the conti-
mental boundaries OF the United States
is about to be established in Honolulu.
Colonel w. G. Mcfarland, who was
chamberlain to Queen Liliuokalani, has
arrived from the islands to perfect the or
ganization of the bank and later to re-
turn with gold coin, representing the
stock subscribed for it by San Francisco
and New York capitalists. A charter for
the bank has already been procured from
the United States by Perry S. Heath, as
sistant postmaster general, but it can not
be used until congress places the Hawaii.

Chino, July 3l.-The Japanese alliance
has been welcomed by England and Ger
many on the ground that it will rein.
vieorate China and enable her to resist
the Russian advance.
The Spectator, in the course OF an in
teresting article, asserts that japanese re
organization of the Chinese army and ma
Wv and finances would be successful be
cause the Japanese are more in sympathy
with Chinese national feeling than tn
western nations.
Japan, the article says, would abolish
corruption and organize formidable well
armed Chinese army, while the combined
Chinese and japanese navies would be abb
to prevent any invading army reaching
China by sea.

Another Car Blown Up.

Cleveland, July 3l.-The blowing up of
another Euclid Beach suburban car has
demonstrated that the danger point is not
yet passed in connection with the street
car strike in this city. The plan to re-
lease the military force early next week
will probably be abandoned and the SOL
diers retained indefinitely.
Contrary to previous reports, eight pas
sengers were aboard the car wrecked, and
that they escaped serious injury is con-
sidered almost miraculous. The explosive
used was unusually powerful. The heavy
car was lifted fully two feet from the
track by the explosion. The flooring was
blown upwards and over the tops OF the
seats.
The authorities are unable to get the
slightest clue to the identity OF the per-
petrators of the outrage.
The cars are now moving on every line
of the Big Consolidated system.

Cleveland, Aug. 3.-There is practically
no change in the strike situation here.
President Everett of the Big Consolidated
declares his company has about all the
men required and that the service main
tained on the various lines of the system is
equal to that which was in force prior to
the strike. General Axline has said that
the proprietors of stores who refused to
sell goods to either soldiers or civilians
could be punished under the law.

MANY WERE SLAUGHTERED
Rowing Bands of Yaquis TerrOrixe
Northern Mexico.

Northern Mexico.
Chicago, Aug. "A special from the
City of Mexico says:
News from the lower Yaqui river coun-
try today is that rowing bands of Indians
are killing both Mexicans and Americans
and that number of Americans in the
outlying districts have already been
slaughtered. Fears are expressed for the
safety of the large number of American
prospectors who have been pouring into
the Sierra Madre mountains during the
last year.
On the 22d of last month signs of the
present trouble became apparent, and
Chief Tetabiate, always peaceably in
clined, ordered the tribe to remain quiet
and ordered five of the principal disturbers
shot. The Indians fell on their chief and
beat him to death with clubs, and then a
large band massacred 80 soldiers in the
barracks at Bacum, slaughtered Carlos
Hale, a prominent merchant of Guaymas
and went down the river, numbering and
plundering.
The noted frontier general, Lorenzo Tor
res, with only 200 men, marched to Bacul
and threw himself on the assembled va
qui forces. A battle was waged for two
days in which 40 Yaquis and IL soldiers
were killed.
The Yaquis were pushed back toward
the mountains, and on the third day an
other fight took place in which 30 Yaqui'
and four chiefs were killed. The Yaqui;
were dispersed and driven further into thu
hills.
State troops were gathered from all ovel
Sonora by Governor Corral. About l50e
men were modified and pursued the va
quis into their mountain Businesses. I'M
; Yaquis took position on the peaks OF Cu
esta Alta, and the latest report is that
battle was fought on July 20, and tn
, troops were gaining an advantage.
