OF Lieutenant-Governor Spriggs in nam

saying he had named Martin Maginnis,

collusion and fraud. The dispatches
are practically the same, that to MI.
Clark reading:

Governor Spriggs on the 10Th inst, as

his reasons. He has also issued an

congress may not ratify, and also urges
the Filipinos to enthusiastically well
come the commission when it arrives In
the towns and provinces, asking boldly
for the form of government they most
desire, as the Americans permit of Free

closes with asking the Filipinos to
strive for liberty and Independence and

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT FooD
How Can the Danger from Alum Bah
Ing Powders BE Avoided9

HOW Gan the Danger from Alum bhh-
Ing Powders BE Avoided?
The reported cases OF poisoning from
the use of alum baking powder have
awakened the public to the serious
danger which menaces the health of
the people OF this country in the num-
erous alum powders which are urged
upon consumers.
Among the leading physicians and
scientists there is no question as to the
detrimental effects which alum baking
powders produce upon the system. In
many foreign countries and in many
cities of this country, the authorities
have absolutely prohibited their sale or
the sale OF bread containing alum.
Even small doses Of alum given to
children. have produced fatal results.
while cases Of heartburn, indigestion,
gripping constipation, dyspepsia and
various KINDRED gastric troubles from
irritation of the mucous membrane, at
tributed to the continuous use Of food
prepared with the alum or alum phos-
phate powders, are familiar in the prac-
tice OF physicians generally.
Congress has recently been investi-
eating the subject OF food, and in its
official report to the senate the COM
mittee sayss so far as the use of
alum in the manufacture of food
product, such as baking powder, is con-
cerned, the committee, in view OF the
overwhelming mass OF evidence antag-
onistic to its use, recommends that its
use in food products and baking pow
ders be prohibited by law"
1t is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article OF food that
will iniure the health OF her household,
or perhaps cause the death Of her chill
| dren.
How shall the dangerous alum pow
ders be distinguished? And how shall
the danger to health from their use be
| avoided?
Generally alum powders may be
known from the price at which they are
sold, or from the fact that they are &C.
companied by gift, or are disposed oi
under some scheme. The alum powder
costs but few cents pound to make,
and is often sold at 20 or 25 cents a
pound; sometimes as low as 10 cents.
| 1t is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at low price, or adver'
tised as costing much less than the
well known, high class powders, OF
accompanied by present, or disposed
of under any scheme, is Of this class
detrimental to health and to be avoided
These facts should incline consumer
to turn deaf ear to all importunitiei
to buy the inferior powders. The wis'
housekeeper will decline in all cases Il
take them.

eminent Tresty with France.

New York, May 21.--A decision
Just rendered by Judge Townsend, who

liquors so cents gallon, and in the
particular suit which was brought by
George s. Nicholas, an importer. takes
$45, 900 out OF the treasury Of the gov
ernment.
Nicholas, on June 10, 1898, received
from France $4,000 gallons OF the cor
dial known as "Chartreuse. Col
lector Bidwell assessed the duty on
this importation at 1925 per gallon.
The importer appealed 10 the board oi
general appraisers, and they affirmed
the collectors action. Then the mat
ter was brought into the circuit court
and, when the hearing came up, coun-
sci for Nicholas insisted that under the
new treaty with France, made in
1898, year later than tie passage oi
the tariff under which the appraise.
ment had been made, the duty should
have been only $i.75 per gallon
Copies Of the treaties made between
France and the United States were pro
duced as evidence, and in the French
copy the word 'liquers" appears,
while from the American copy thu
word '1iquors" is missing. This deci'
sion is in favor Of the importers, and i
it holds, means loss of many million
dollars TO the government annually.

Chinese Passengers TO BE Detained at

Astoria, May 22.--For the first time
in the history OF this port quarantine

sells arriving from San Francisco. This
relates particularly to Chinese passen-
gers, as thus far all others have been

Officer Fulton and Quarantine Officer
Hastings have received official notifica-
tion OF the existence of the plague at
the bay city. and, while the latter has
received no instructions from the de-
partment to establish an interstate
quarantine he deems strict precautions
necessary to guard against the possible
introduction of the disease here, and,
together with the state health officer.
will inspect all incoming vessels from
that port and isolate all the Chinsese
passengers.
The first vessel affected by the new
regulations was the o. r. s. n. steamer
Columbia, which arrived here this
morning. She was detained in the
quarantine grounds until thorough
inspection was made and then allowed
to come to the dock. Two Chinese
passengers were. however, taken to the
government quarantine station, where
their baggage will be fumigated, and
they will be held for about 10 days.
