DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN NEWS
The Naval Omcers OF Russia and Japan
Believe That War Between These
Two Countries Is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Wants Naval Base at Korea.
Russia and Japan May Scrap.

"War between Russia and Japan is
looked for as inevitable by the naval
officers of those countries who have
been nearest the probable scene of flu
ture operations, said Lieut.. Romanoff
of the imperial Russian navy, who ar
rived in Chicago recently. The lieu
tenant has just completed a three
years cruise in Asiatic waters on the
Russian battleship Sissoi Teliky, and
is on his way to ST. Petersburg. Just
how soon such a war may begin it is
difficult to say, but events little short
of miraculous must occur to avert it.
The Japanese are building warships as
rapidly as possible, in anticipation of
the outbreak of hostilities and Russia
is strengthening her navy as fast as
she can. That Russia must have a
naval base between Port Arthur and
Vladivostock is conceded, and that she
will try to get one in Korea is certain.
In the event of such war it is con-
sidered probable in Russian naval cir
cles that Russia will have the aid of
Germany and that England will take
the other side. European war will
follow the outbreak of hostilities be-
tween Russia and Japan.

A Test Case of Process Butter.

State Food Commissioner Grosvenor
on the 18th made complaint against
Rollin G. Phelps, agent for Armour &
Co. of Chicago, on the charge of selling
what is known as process butter, with
out complying with the state law in
the matter of labelling packages. This
will be test case. Michigan was one
of the six states in 1899 to pass laws
regulating the sale of this kind of but
ter, at the instigation of the National
Association of State Dairy and Food
Commissioners. Heretofore it has been
impossible for chemists to tell the diff
ference between process butter and
dairy or creamery. Michigan chemists
however, claim to have found an infal-
lible test Process butter has been on
the market for 10 years. The most of
it is manufactured in Chicago, one firm
there sending in thousands of pounds
during the year 1t is the product of
cheap dairy butter that has spoiled,
melted up and churned again in new
milk. If the food department carries
its point, similar suits will be started
all over the state.

Corporation Department n Paying One.
The corporation department of the
secretary of states Office transacted an
unusually large volume of business
during the year 1899. An examination
of the books discloses the fact that ar
ticles of incorporation of 726 new cor
poratiOns were received for fling,
while IS corporations filed amendments
increasing their capital stock. The
new interpretations were of the follow
ing classes: Mercantile and manufac-
turing, 1872; mining, Al; religious asso-
Citations, 43: street and electric Yail-
ways, IS; telephone, 10; publishing, Is;
banks, s; railroads, 2; gas, z; naviga-
tion and transportation, 3; electric
light, s; miscellaneous, 1876. During
the year, 439 mercantile and manufac-
turing corporations filed notices of dis
solution, and 196 were stricken from
the records on information that the com
panics had ceased to exist. Annual re-
ports were filed as follows Merchan-
tile and manufacturing companies,
1851; charitable societies, 81; street
railway companies, g.; transportation
companies, II; publishing companies.
2l miscellaneous, 40. The aggregate
authorized capital stock of the corpor-
ations filing articles during the year is
$332, 210, 060. That the department is a
paying one is demonstrated by the fact
that it collected fees aggregating SILL
1O0.sl during the year. Of this total,
$l66, 002.7s were franchise fees 81, 742. 30
recording and fling fees, and ST, 1888
