Chicago, Dec. 27.-The possibility of arsenical poisoning in beer was the topic of popular interest at the opening session of the convention of the Ameri- can Chemical society to-day. The one hundred chemists from all parts of the country joined In the argument grow ing out of the recent wholesale poison- ing in England
 Dr. Edward Gudeman charged the brewers with wilfully introducing into beer an arsenical antiseptic to prevent the fermenta ton of the beverage from progressing too far, and his assertion proved the sensa ton of the session.

New York. Nov. 1.-Gen. William
Booth, commander in chief of the Saliva
ton Army, is coming here next Septem-
Der to take practically the control of the
Salvation Army of the United States
for at least six months. This announce
ment was made last night by Comman-
der B0oth-Tucker,w who arrived here from
England on the steamer Teutonic. He
went there early in October to invite the
general TO come over and assist in the
solution of problems which the Saliva
ton Army is endeavoring to solve. One
of the chief problems. he said, was that
of organizing and maintaining the farm
colonies which the army is establishing
in some of the states.
The army, which has the power I'M
der its charter to issue bonds,' the COM
mander said, may issue bonds to the
amount of $150,0oe to put the colonies
on a firm basis. It has been said the
poor man in the cities don't want to go
into the country to live. They do want
to go into the country. have 5000 more
applications for homes in our colonies
than I can grant. General Booth is
great organizer, and will be able to aid
US in a satisfactory solution of the prob
lem
When asked as to the rurnor that he
was to be transferred to some other
command, Commander Rooth-Tucker
said he knew nothing of it.

FIVE MILES DEEP.
The Albatross Crew Dragged the
Bottom of the Sea.

San Francisco, Nov. discoveries of
great value are reported by the United
States fish commission steamship Alba
tross, which has just returned from a
fourteen months cruise in the South
Seas and in Japanese and Alaskan
waters The officers of the vessel state
that nearly all of the South Sea islands
are mischarted anywhere from two to a.
dozen miles, making steering by chart
extremely dangerous. The exceptions
are the Fiji group. owned by Great
Britain, and the Tahita group. owned by
Trance. New and accurate sailing di-
rections for use among the islands have
been prepared.
In about the middle of Bering sea the
AIbatross discovered a bank just 200
fathoms below the surface, where the
charts showed 1000 fathoms depth. This
bank is from five to ten miles in extent

Passing of the Cafe D'orsay.
rFrom the Paris Messenger

From the Paris Messenger
The last vestige viii have disappeared
in a few days of the stately, though
rather gloomy-looking mansion that
stood at the corner of the quay and the
Rue du Bec-a street that should be IA
miIiar to strangers, as it leads to the
world-famous Bon Marche. Since the
revolution of 184S the ground floor of the
building had been occupied by a cafe
which has it's place in the chronicles and
even in the chranique scandaleuse of the
capital. The Cafe d'Orsay, as the estab-
ishment was called, was a favorite reH-
devious for officers under the second
empire. The change in the regime was
followed by a change in its clientele.
Though the quarter retained it's mill
tary associations, the cafe was forsaken
by the officers after the war, and with
them departed its hustle and evident
vogue Tt became one of those quiet,
semi deserted establishments the casual
visitor to which is puzzled to understand
how they can pay their way. No doubt
it was not a gold mine, but for a time it
did a trade of a. kind. It's air of almost
provincial responsibility was deceptive
Parisians who knew their city
well had discovered that it was a pro-
pitious spot for diners anxious to avoid
all risk of meeting their acquaintance.
Readers of Daudet's ''Rois en- Exil'

REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.
Outlook For Political Disturbance II
France Becomes Serious.

New York, Nov THE outlook for
social and political disturbance in
France is becoming graver every day,
says a Paris dispatch to the Times.
In the north 100000 miners are on
strike. and the recent socialist talk of
members of the government seems to
have encouraged a violent and revolu-
tionary spirit.
Moreover, the Catholics are becoming
very bitter at the declared intention of
the government to close official careers
to all who have been educated in re-
1igious institutions. The Catholic press
is very bitter and the clergy are MAX
ing common cause with the other enc
mics of the government Only the fact
that the government controls the church
funds prevents the clergy expressing
their opinion vigorously on the matter.
