ALDRlCH AGAINST TREATIES.
The Senator Opposes Reciprocity Agree
ment With France.

Senator Aldrich, chairman of the FL
nance Committee. appeared before the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee. by
invitation, yesterday. to give his views on
the advisability of the ratification OF the
pending reciprocity treaties.
He took up the treaty with France and
made a strong argument against it, de-
claring that it was destructive to Ameri-
can interests and placed tire United States
in the attitude of begging from France
what it was entitled to receive by right.
Treasury Actuary Mccoy, who assisted
Special Commissioner Kasson in the nego-
tiations o. the treaties was present. but
did not have an opportunity to testify.
He will be heard next week.

No Confirmation Obtained.

No confirmation could be obtained yes
terday of the statement that Mr.. Gron
had laid the reports attributed to Cap
tain Christmas before the State Depart
ment and members Of Congress. Repre-
sentative Grosvenor of Ohio, the only
Congressman specifically named as having
seen the alleged proofs of Captain Christ
mas acknowledgement that he used
money here to secure the transfers, said
that he knew nothing about the subject.
A similar statement was made at the
State Department.
The whole matter is pooh pOohed here.
and officials of the Government and mem
bers of Congress say that the allegations
of Mr.. Gron are too foolish TO be given
serious attention. .-.-a.-----

SAMPLES OF BAD FOOD
FUH ON EXHIBITION
Congressmen Instructed in
Art of Adulteration.
Dr.. Burton ]. Howard and Dr.. w. D.
Bigelow, Government Chemists, En-
tighten Legislators.

Samples of adulterated food products
were exhibited yesterday before the House
Committee on commerce during the hear
jngs on the pure food bills. The wit
nesses were DIR. Burton J. Howard, mi
croscopic chemist in the Department Of
Agriculture, and DR.. w. d. Bigelow,
chemist in charge of the food laboratory
in the department. DR.. Bigelow exhibited
a dozen or more cans and jars of iellies,
jams. corn. peas, and other vegetables.
which contained authorizations that. al
though not deleterious to the health of
most persons. were nevertheless not what
they were represented to be.
Tells of Deceptions.
Ee told in an interesting manner how
these adulterations are made, and the de-
csptions practiced. DR.. Bigelow spoke of
several coffee compounds which con-
tain absolutely no coffee, but are made
from substitutes, chiefly peas. cereals,
and chickory.
These substances, while not injurious to
the health, are not what they are repre-
scented TO be. He showed also, how meat
extracts and jellies are adulterated with
gelatine and other substances.
The hearings will probably be coz
cluded today.

When the House Committee on Rules

Senate May Amend.

It was. however, entirely competent for
the Senate,to amend the pending treaties
so as to provide that they shall not take
effect without the approval of Congress.
Several treaties had thus been provided,
among others that with the Hawaiian
Government. in 1876. Such an amendment
could not be objected to by the Govern
ments with whom the pending treaties
had been negotiated, because they were
known to be entered into with reference
to the provisions of the reciprocity Sec
tion of the Dingley act
The subcommittee therefore recon-
mends, without reference to the merits
thereof that each OF the pending treaties
be amended by the Senate by inserting
therein the following additional provision.
This treaty shall not take effect until
the same shall have been approved by
Congress-"

CROW NINSHIELD Is
NOW A REAR ADMIRAL
Nomination of Former Ord
nance Chief Confirmed.
Name Reported Favorably to Senate by
Mt. Hale-He Ranks With Hero of
Santiago Campaign.

The nomination Of Capt. A. S. Crownin-
shield to be rear admiral was confirmed
by the Senate yesterday. Senator Hale.
chairman OF the Committee on Naval AZ
fairs, made favorable report from his
committee in the executive session on
Tuesday, and without debate the Senate
acted in accordance with Mr.. Hale's sug-
gestion.
Under the present law promotions up
to the rank of captain are made by Sc
niority simply, but above that grade they
are made by nomination OF the President
and confirmation by the Senate.
No Meeting Held.
No meeting of the Committee on Naval
Affairs was held on the Crownirshield
case. and for this reason it was whis-
pered around the Capitol yesterday even
ing that Senator Hale had taken the
matter into his hands arbitrarily, for fear
there might be opposition to confirma-
tion from some quarter. AS a matter OF
fact, Mr.. Hale saw a number OF the COM
mittee, including a majority, before he
made his report.

the protocol with Spain, which fixed the
jurisdiction OF the United States TO the
city and harbcr and bay OF Manila the
United States had any authority to so
outside of these limits.
General Otis-We had perfect right
to take the Spanish defences, whether
within or without the city, and defend the
city.
Senator Rawlins-Had you any right up
der the protocol to use force against Spain
or against any subjects of Spain outside
of those limits?
General Otis-Not unless they interfered
with our administration of the city of
Manila. We had right to defend cur
selves in the city of Manila. And if the
subjects of Spain-the insurgerts-nade
US any trouble we had a right to drive
them beyond these limitations.
After discussion between Senators,
General Otis was asked to state categoTi-

claimed the right to go outside the city

As soon as General Otis received author
ity from Washington he wrote insJruc-
tions to General Miller. Rios had with,
drawn d day or two before, and the place
had been turned over to the troops of
Aguinaldo.
General Miller's instructions were not
to use force unless necessary. A deiega-
tior waited upon General Otis to talk over
the situation. and he telegraphcd tc
Washington that the taking OF Iloiio

could not be done. Then Rios asked to

SCORES RECIPROCITY
TREATY With FRANCO
Senator Aldrich Opposes Rat
ifleation of Measure.
THE SUBC0HMITTE REPORTS
Makes Recommendation That Agree
ments With Other Countries Shall Not
Take Effect Until Same Shall Have
Been Approved by Congress.

The Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee yesterday heard Chairman Aldrich, Of
the Senate Finance Committee. in opos
ton to the ratification Of the reciprocity
treaties new pending before the former
committee,
Mr. Aldrich directed his opposition al
most wholly to the treaty with France,
which he said Was against the policy of
the United States. Ills principal objec
tion 10 it was that it gave France much
greater advantage than it did the United
States. and that tais Government, in order
to obtain TIE minimum French tariff. Civ
en- other countries without any considera-
tion whatever had yielded rates on so
many articles in which American manu-
facturers were competitors with the
French
He contended. in other words. that in
return for the advantages of the French
minimum tariff, which the United states
should have by right. the treaty granted
concessions to French exporters all cut
of proportion to the benefits received by
the United States.
The Washington times., 1902-03-20
Reviews Specific Cases.

He called attention to many specific
cases in the treaty, where the concessions
granted by France were on articles in
which there was no competition, whereas
on nearly all the articles upon which the
American tariff was educnd the French
already had the advantage over their
American competitors.
The committee took no action on thu
treaties, but will hear at the next meet
ing Actuary Mccoy, OF the Treasury De
partment, who assisted Reciprocity Com
missioner kasson in drawing up the
treaties.
The committee made public the report
of .hc subcommittee to which was recent
ly referred the legal questions involved in
the right of .Lhe Senate to pass upon reci-
procitv treaties without the concurrence
of the House.
The subcommittee finds that there was
nothing in the section of the Dingley law
authorizing the negotiation of the pending
treaties which constitutes any valid re-
striction upon the jurisdiction and power
conferred BY the Constitution upon the
Senate to act upon commercial treaties
Whether such treaties operate without
the approval Of both houses OF Congress
to change utarih duties fixed by law the
report says ~ question not involved
and the subcommittee, therefore ex-
presses nolopipion upon it.

PattOnvilIe News.

On Sunday, July 9th, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. G. Arnold, of Pattonville,
entertained as their guests, the
Misses Maud and Nellie Mathiott,
OF Logan, Supt. Read. of Creola,
and DR.. Wood, of Haydenville.
An enjoyable time was spent
during the morning and yet, every
one enjoyed the dinner better, The
table actually groaned beneath it's
load, and to name the things on it
would be to numerous to mention.
But just inquire of DR.. Wood of
Haydenville, about the chicken,
ice cream and cake, and | think he
can furnish you with plenty of in
formation. Supt. Read declared
about l 80 that it was the hottest
day he had ever witnessed and
thought he would have to call in a.
physician, but as DIR. Wood was
present there was no need of send
ing.
But as you all know Mrs. Arnold
is the one who can get up those
kind of dinners, suitable to all
tastes. AS for kindness and
friendliness, Mr.. Abe Arnold can
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1902-07-17

not be beaten along that line. He
knows just what plans to take to
make people enjoy themselves.
Dinner and conversation was ca.'-
ried far into the afternoon, then
Mr.. Reed and Wood both returned
to Haydenville to attend the
memorial services, given at the
church. Before leaving both said
they had greatly enjoyed them
selves, and were willing to return
any time.
The evening was spent in music
and singing, as Mrs. Arnold is a
very good musician, and the
Mathiott sistets, assisted by Mr..
L. Lehman, rendered several Sc
lectio1s. Tie evening was well
spe 1T, but very curious thing
happened about nine o clock. The
people heard a strange noise, aud
on going out to ascertain what
might be the trouble, what do you
think met their sta "tled gaze?
There was Mr.. A. A. perched upon
a hay ladder, growing as if his life
depended upon it. He was asked
what the trouble was, and he re-
piled that he was teaching couple
of roosters to fight, and that they
disliked each other so, that when
he crowed the roosters thought
they were being Knocked, and
straight way began to fight,
something on the same plan as the
Corbett and Fitzsimmon fight. So
as the folks saw he was doing all
right and wished to have prize
fighters in this part Of the county,
they laughed and returned to their
house.
After giving Mr.. and, Mrs. Ar
mold the best Of wishes and thanks
and also wishing they might have
more such times, the friends re-
turned to their homes sleepy, but
happy, to dream of that fine din
ner and the bright, happy faces of
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold and their lit
tie ones. CONTRIBUTED.

the presence in our town of two of
the best paving block factories in
the world. To advertise these
works is to advertise our town.
We owe it to them and we owe it
to ourselves to pave our streets
with the brick whose manufacture
helps make the town. The money
spent in this way will come back
to the property owner in forms of
rent. 1t will come back to the
merchants in their daily business.
1t will come back to the laborer as
his daily bread.
The proposition to pave Logan
is unlike the proposition to pave
other towns, where brick must be
bought abroad. For when we are
done paving we have both the
paved street and the money that it
cost to pave it. In view of this
fact it is hard to see how we can
fail to show our confidence in our
home manufactures by putting a
sample upon our own streets.

They Give Up.

The worried expression that has
hung upon the countenances of the
Republican leaders for the past
several weeks was not dispelled by
their deliberations on last Wednes-
day. This is a Democratic year
and when the committeeman met
their reports showed it. There
was nothing to be done but organ
ize in such way as to turn profit
to the foxy Colonel.
Harry Ambrose has been coming
too fast for a youngster. He has
aspired to be leader, and to show
him that he won't do he is to be
made dead one by leading the
forlorn'hope. The curiously con-
structed ticket will go down in de-
feat, and it is to be Harry's fault.
Ergo, when Harry offers advice in
the future, Harry will lose the
argument. No advice from the
boys is wanted by Foxy Grandpa.
Charley Wolfe is aslo marked to
be plucked.' Charley's offense is
defiance of the bosses. Charley
was cajoled, threatened, and offer
ed all kinds of things to work for
Ricketts,. He refused, and then
was told that the precinct would
be manipulated without him., He
went ahead and delivered every
vote in the precinct to Fred Bright.
So Charley is to discover that he
is not "it" outside of his. own
township by being made running
mate with Willard Huls, whose
bitter talk in meddling in other
peoples campaigns was counted as
the mistake of the year.
But nothing is to get away from
the foxy one. Col. Sands is to
handle the funds His behavior
in the bank receivership is evidence
that nothing will get away. The
Colonel will have possession of the
funds.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1902-07-17
Wevote to Pave.

On Saturday August the ninth the
voters of Logan will express them
selves,on' the proposition to pave
our streets. All things go to show
that the people are In favor of the
improvement. Those who signed
the petition were those vitally in
terested and they signed under the
impression that bonds for paving
could be issued without a special
election being held. If there are
any who thinking they have no in
terest hesitate to take sides, this
should decide them in favor of the
good streets.
At the present time Logan has
better prospects than she has ever
had before. This is largely due to
