Mr.. r. Harrison johnson and other citt-

quested the District Commissioners to
grant the people of that section hearing
for the purpose Of discussing certain opera
tions OF the Baltimore and Potomac Radl-
road Company. What these operations are
Mr.. johnson failed to explain, but he says
that the matter is one Of vital interest to
the community. and therefore asks that an
early day be set for the hearing. The re-
quest will probably be granted by the Com
missioners. although no day has been set

Menaced by Railways.

There has been considerable discussion Of
late of the report that the railroads were
taking from the lake carriers a greater pro-
portion of northwestern grain shipments
than ever before. 1t would appear how
ever, from the latest statistics that the
inroads are less serious than supposed.
The receipts of breadstuffs at the princi-
pal ports on the lakes are as follows:

Tie statement just compiled also refutes
the popular fallacy that the water trans
portstfon of grain in the great lakes dis
triCt constitutes almost exclusively a direct
traffic between Chicago and Buffalo. In the
shipment of -four the ports Of Duluth and
Milwaukee are practically equal the ship
merits at each port thus far this season
having exceeded 100000 tons. In shipments
of wheat Duluth is far ahead of all other
ports, having shipped 1,014,193 bushels in
July and s. 26S $50 bushels during the sea-
son up to August /.
The neighboring port Of West Superior.
Wis, stands next to Duluth having ship
ped 1,911. $40 bushels during July and ), 239.-
O51 during the season.
Chicago heads the list in corn shipments,
her total for July being $3.50, 500 bushels
and for the season n, 421 .335 bushels. In
shipments of barley and oats Milwaukee
lea0s, while in shipments of rye Duluth
holds first rank. Although originating at
numerous different ports. the great bulk of
the lake grain trade converges at Buffalo
as a point of discharge. For instance. Of
the 16, 743 GOO bushels Of wheat received at
all lake ports IA PIT AL bushels were con-
signed to Buffalo, which port also received
g. 375 100 bushels of the aggregate of o.
63S 915 bushels of corn arriving at all ports.
The iron ore traffic is a branch of lake
traffic in which the greatest interest is felt
this year by all persons connected with the
iron and steel industry. Thus far this sea-
son the total receipts of iron ore foot up
7,&NO69 tons, 1859. 721 tons being received
at Ashtabula, /. 4223 1877 tons at Cleveland
and l. 154 465 tons at South Chicago during
the season. while the principal ports OF
shipment were Two Harbors, with Ito
Sij tons, and Duluth, with l, 800, 935 tons.

VMICULTURE IN THIS COUNTRY
Uniformity in Different Grades of
Wines the Desideratum.


Wines the Desideratum.
Dr. " Bigelow, of the Chemistry Di-
vision Of the Department of Agriculture.
has compiled a number of analyses of
American wines The tables of analyses
are accompanied by statements IN regard
TO the Interpretation of the analytical re-
suits. and by q description of the best
methods now in use for the analysis OF
wines DR.. Bigelow says that the rapid
growth Of vinicuIture in the United States
indicates that this branch of agriculture
viii soon assume national Importance.
1T is evident from a cursory study Of this
industry" says DR.. Bigelow. that it has
often been conducted In desultory man
ner, without scientific control and with
out the aid CT experts either on the part
OF the grape growers or the wine makers.
It IS not at all surprising therefore. IN
der these conditions, that the American
wines should vary greatly in character
among themselves from wines Of the same
type in other 6OuptFies.
The red vines or clarets which are
made in an indisc-iminRte way in the va
rious parts OF the country. under widely
varying climatic conditions and without
uniformity Of methods in fermentation or
clearing, are evidently of the most widely
diveTging character
This great variation in the characte-
OF our wines has been the chief impedi-
ment in the way Of their becoming estab-
lished in the markets of this country as
well as of the world. 4 wine merchant is
not able to handle q brand of wine which
varies from year to year in such a man
ner as to be almost unrecogniZable as be-
ing of the same variety He demands a
uniformity of t-Fe which with slight va
riations due 70 the conditions OF the vim
tage, may be practically the same from
year to year.
at IS believed that one of the first
steps toward securing such uniformity
in the types Of cur wines will be accom-
plished by bringing together, in so far as
possible, the data which have been OBJ
tained IN the analyses OF wines in differ
cut parts of the country. The object
Of this compilation is not so much TO
show the character Ct our wines as to in
dictate their widely divergent properties
One object which has been kept in view
also has been to make starting point for
future Investigations in regard to the uni
formity of cur wines OF reasonably we'll
established types.
There is, however, one caution to be
observed and that is that these analyses
are not to be accepted in any way as ex-
pressing the quality of the American
wines produced today by the competent
wine makers in wineries conducted in ac-
cordance with the latest scientific prinei-
pies of fermentation and ripening.
1t is our purpose to take up at once
the vestigation and to determine by
American wines and their chief charac-

POLICE HOPE TO GET HOLMES
Regulation Papers Mailed to the
PhIIndeIphIa AuthoritEen.

FnEtGuEfnEFa authorities
Requisition papers we're mailed to Phil
adelphia yesterday afternoon for Charles
S Holmes. who is under indictment here
for obtaining from Col Nathaniel Mckay.
manager for the Dewey Hote! Company.
sI75 on a worthless check The police CT
this city do not expect to get possession
Of the prisoner at the present time. as it
is believed that the Philadelphia authori-
ties have q strong case against him. but
the papers have been sent as a matter Of
pTecautioR, TO guard against his possible
TeleaEe and escape. Holmes came to
Washington about 4 year ago. and for q
time, il is said, managed 10 associate with
people OF standing. to whom he repre-
scented himself to be man OF means
Among these persons was Col. Nathaniel
Mckay, with whom he entered into nego-
tiatiors for lease of the Dewey Hotel.
Alter some paFleyiIg the terms were
agreed upon and the papers we're drawn I'd
calling for an annual rental OF $1,000 It
only remained for the papers to be signed
ard the first payment to be made, and this
Colonel Mckay was assured woulC be done
the next day. About this time Holmes
is said to have represented to the colonel
that he was rUnr ing a little short Of cash
and the latter readily cashed a personal
check OF his on the Continental Title and
Trust Company OF Philadelphia for SI75.
That is the last that was seen Of HoI mes
in this city, and he is supposed to have
LEFT Immediately after receiving the
money. few days afterward the check
was returned as being worthless. March
% last the grand jury returned a true bill
against Holmes for false pretences. and
these papers were attached to the formal
Tequisition which was mailed to PhiIa-
delphia yesterday.
Holmes was arrested IN PHILADELPHIA
last Saturday on complaint of Edwin P
Young, Secretary and Treasurer of the
Pascoe Apartment House Company. who
charges him with the embezziement of
s7S1, the property Of that company. He
was engaged as manager Of the Pascoe
In APRIL, 1898, and had entire charge of
the affairs of that company. collecting
rents and making such disbursements as
were Necessary, and while he IS only
charged with the embezzlement of $751;
it is believed that his pecuIations will
amount TO several thousand dollars. Mr.
Young charges ri n with having failed to
enter on his books the monthly payments
Of many of the guests. 1t is further
charged that he ordered more than $500
worth of goods from several firms. which
he charged TO the Pascoe Company and
appropriated to his own use An exam
nation Of the company's books some time
ago revealed a shortage of 81 $50. g.
Holmes is said to have pleaded with the
members of the company for another
chance, and he was permitted to CO. When
1t was learned, however, that he had been
connected with various other questionable
transactions, a warrant was sworn out
and he vas arrested.
