WHEAT FOR EDIBLE PAsTEs.
The Result of Tests of Texan Grain
in France.

John c. Covert, United States Consul to
Lyons. has given the Department of State
his views on Wheat for Edible Pastes in
France" The consul says:
The two bushels of Texas wheat. called
Nicaragua wheat. sent for the purpose OF
being tested and examined in regard to
adaptabiiity for the manufacture Of maca-
roni and other edible pastes, reached this
consulate December 90 1899. / sent about
five pounds of il by the first mail to Mar
seilles, where it was subjected TO a care
full examination by dealers in the special
kinds of wheat used for the manufacture
OF edible pastes. A second package was
sent to the large macaroni works of Gill
bert & Tezier, Valence and third to Mr.
Edwin w Serrell, at Paris. / sent pack
ages to manufacturers OF macaroni in this
city, but they declined TO express an opin-
ion, as they never handle the wheat. i
translate the answer from Gilbert & Te-
Zer: 'Macaroni can be made out of this
wheat, but of an ordinary quality. be-
cause it cannot contain great deal of glu-
ten. 1t contains considerable soft wheat
and some Of it is mouchetes-that is to
say, black about ends 1t seems to us
that wheat more evenly hard, and not
mouchetes, ought to be grown in Texas.
The wheat which We want would bring at
Marseilles about s347 per 22O.46 pounds
MIR. Edwin W. Serrell. an American.
who has given much attention TO this sub
ject. gave the wheat forwarded to him TO
an expert. who examined it thoroughly and
reported as follows: Long grains, indi-
eating a high average of gluten. A horny
or cornerous form; the best variety of
hard wheat. 1t is, in fact, very hard.
Grains regular in size. But very little
impurity; few grains of tender, white
wheat. Unfortunately, there are a few
spotted grains. This defect, which ought
not to be inherent in the quality dimin-
ishes the value somewhat, for it will ne
cessitate more time for sitting to eliminate
the black spots from the semolna. Paste
very rapidly obtained. Gluten very east
ly separated; very homogeneous and elias
tic. The analysis shows damp gluten, 80
per cent; dry gluten, 10 per cent. These
proportions occur only in the superior
grades of hard Russian wheat. With we'll
sifted semolina, there could be made from
this wheat edible pastes carrying 1898 per
cent Of gluten. This wheat would there
fore make the best qualities of edible |
pastes.'
The above report, coming with Mr.. Ser
rells' endorsement should leave no doubt |
as to the value of this wheat for the man |
ufacture of edible pastes, for no man in |
Europe is more competent than he to pro- |
nounce an opinion on this subject.
THE gentleman to whom l sent speci- |
mems of this wheat in Marseilles reported |
verbally that it would find a ready mar
ket in that city at s3.0S per 10 Kilograms. |
Dealers have spent one week investigat-
ing this subject in Marseilles. Their re-
port was favorable. This morning they
confirm the first opinion"

WARSHIPS FOR CHINA.
Navy Department Plans to Protect

The unsettled conditions existing in Chi

ing the Spanish war.
Quite a number of vessels under Admi-
raj Watson are available and suited for
the navigation of the Chinese rivers. 1t

Mr.. Bryan's ST will answer in my own

publicans no little, thinks the Nashville
American. The principal question put
was, "WIll you pay the obligations of
the Government in silver, coin bonds
and all, if elected?" and his answer
was as quoted. The effort of the Re-
publicans is to make silver the FREEDOM
inant issue of the campaign, and Mr..
Bryan's answer baked them. Mr.. Bry-
an, whom they declare to be the per-
sonifcation of free silver, will not even
discuss it, and refuses to. say that he
will pay the Government obligations IN
silver. The Republicans will find
before this campaign Is over that
