FRAUDULENT FOOD STUFFS
Adulterated Cheese Nearly Destroyed Our
Trade With England.
Ex-GOv. Hoard of Wisconsin Makes a
Plea for Honest Dairy
Products.

CHICAGO. January s.-Former Gov. w.
D. Hoard of Wisconsin left this city last
night for Brattleboro to attend a meeting
of the National Dairy Union, Of which he is
the president. Mr.. Hoard talked freely on
proposed legislation in favor of the dairy
interests of the United States, which will
be preached at the present session of Con-
gress. The ex-governor is in favor Of a
law which will put the artificial product on
its own merits before the consumer. He
continued:
The stupid dishonesty of the American
policy has lost immense foreign mar
ket. In 1880 we shipped to England
$1Jo00.OO9 worth of cheese. Then We be-
gan to make filled cheese, and in 1899
our exports to England was s3,030,o00.
Canada has laws that secure pure foods.
She saw her opportunity, and has taken
The English market from us. She exported
in 1879 S1I0Oo,OO0 worth of cheese. The
figures prove that sound ethics extend COM
merce. Fraud results in loss of trade.
What we want to do is to provide against
counterfeits and gradually regain our
trade.
The value of the dairy products of the
United Suites is $50 600 a year. Wis
consin produces S35.G0O.000 worth. Now,
these vaStS interests do not demand any
protection but that against fraud and
counterfeit. When l was governor 1 re-
ceived many letters from chambers of COM
merce abroad. from Bristol and Glasgow,
inquiring into the fraudulent cheese and
butter We We're sending abroad. The dairy
product of the whole Pacific coast is now
going across the Pacific to the countries of
the far east. Are we going. by stupid dis
honesty, to lose that market to Australia
as we have nearly lost the English market
to Canada?''
Referring to Congressman CIRCUITS bill
the Wisconsin dairynan said its intent was
to stop frauds on the public. as well as to
protect the butter manufacturers from a
competition which had it's foundation in
imposition ON the huyer

A special to the New York World from

professed discoverer of the secret of sex,
who was ccnsured by the faculty of the
University of Vienna, of which he is
member, made the following statement to
the World correspondent yesterday:
II am victim of the eenvy and ignorance
of the Vienna University professors, but
lose nothing by their action. On the con-
trary, it sets me free to pursue my system
unfettered by the chains of professional
etiquette by which mediocrity restraints in

Long before l published anything on my
system l treated numberless women sue
cessfuily and my practice became SO large
that 1 had to revert to the discovery to
avoid the censure of the university.
Now, / will establish myself in SwitZer-

The groundless rumors of the recalling of

According to the Post the statement that
the German steamer General, seized at

investigation of the Charges Against
Senator Clark.


When The Stars report closed Saturday
MIR. Whiteside was still on the stand as a
witness before the Senate committee hear
ing the Clark case.
Mr.. Whiteside detailed his conversations
with Welcome, Neil and Charles w. Clark,
relative to obtaining the votes of various
members of the legislature. He told of
holding 81 800 for one member and $1,000
for another-the latter in $1,000 bills. The
first amount was returned to Neill and the
latter was a part of the $4,000 turned over
to the state treasury. He had been told
by Clark's managers that they would pay
$4,000 for the votes of democratic senators
and members and 5000 for promises from
republicans, the votes of the latter to be
cast only when called for, the money to be
paid, however in any event
One of Mr.. Clarks managers had said
they expected to pay we'll for all the votes
cast for him. adding that ANY man who
votes for him without being we'll paid is a
fool
When Mr.. Whiteside's own name was
reached on the list, he stated that he had
been unseated by Mr.. Clark's friends in the
legislature on a contest, and that his con-
testant, republican, had been given the
seat after promising to vote for Clark.
which he had done two days after taking
his seat.
In two other cases 10000 had been
placed in an envelope and handed 20 him
to be held for senators whose votes were
supposed to have been secured In both
cases the money was in 81 600 bills, and
this $4,000 had been turned over to the
legislative investigating committee. the two
men for whom this money was intended
being in league with him (Whteside) in his
efforts to expose what was being done.
The 5000 given to him was also turned
over to the investigating committee. He had,
all told turned over to that committee $780,

the Year 1899.

the Year 1899.
The business activities of 1899 in the
great producing and manufacturing regions
bordering upon the great lakes are Illus
trated by the report of the business pass
ing through the Sault Ste Marie canal con-
Meeting Lake Superior with Michigan
Huron, Erie and Ontario, which has just
been received by the treasury bureau of
statistics. 1t shows an increase in number
of vessels, number of passengers, quanti-
ties of freight, and in practically all of
the classes of freight passing through that

Der of unregistered vessels % per cent the
quantity of registered freight Is per cent

and that great factor In manufacturing ac-
tVities, iron ore, 80 per cent. In all these
important features which show the activi-
ties of the producing and manufacturing in
terests the record of lake commerce in the
year 1899 surpasses that of any preceding
ord falls below that of any preceding year

ply of 1859 was slightly below that of one
or two preceding years and the foreign de-
y study of the figures of the business of
the 500 in 1899 compared with that of
earlier years indicates the wonderful
growth of the carrying trade on the great
lakes and of the producing and manufac-
turing Industries Of the section contiguous
to them. The number of sailing vessels,
which in 1869 was 939, was in 1873 / 4O3 in
1889 $50. and in 1899 4, no: the number Of
