AN INTERESTING TOPIC.
German Officials Discuss Reported
Agreement Between Russia
and Japan.

Berlin, Dec. 4.-The dispatch from
Paris Tuesday night announcing that
the basis for an agreement between Rus
STA and Japan had been arrived at is
the most interesting topic of the day at
the chancellories.: While expressing the
keenest curiosity about the source OF the
correspondents information, the official
world remains confident that the negoti-
ations will not come to a breach. The
foreign Office bases it's confidence in this
belief on the strength of the Russian
position relieving her of the necessity of
attacking and on the improbability of
Japan securing permanent advantages
from war. However. if war does come
the foreign office believes Russia and
Japan will fight alone. 1t does not be-
lieve Great Britain and France have. un-
dertaken to mediate, and is inclined to
think Russia and Japan would reject in
reference even from their allies. In
deed, the foreign office does not think
Japan has informed Great Britain re-
garding the details of her demands upon
Russia, but preferred arranging mat
tiers entirely with the latter country.
Of course friendly representations by
France at St. Petersburg and by Great
Britain at Toxic have probably been
made.

EXCITEMENT ON 'CHANGE.
Confusion Follows Reading of Gov.
eminent Estimates of Cotton
Crop ut New Orleans.

New Orleans, Dec. Anew Orleans
cotton futures jumped from So to 60
points on the reading of the bureau re-
port and estimate of this seasons crop.
1t was the most exciting day in the his
tory of the exchange. The trading ring
had to be roped off SO that the brokers,
20 deep, around it, might have all the
room possible to trade in. The trading
floor was SO crowded that it was hardly
possible to get from one end of the room
to another.
When the estimate was read, the
trading was almost impossible, owing to
the confusion. The volume of business
probably exceeded that of any previous
day in the history Of the exchange.

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.
Old Bones, Alum, Flint and Sulphuric
Acid for Raising Bread.

Housekeepers have recently been So
licited by some Of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind of baking
.powder-"cheaper and just as good" as
they say. This Is another scheme OF
some baking powder manufacturer to
get a new brand on the market by offer
ing the grocer a large profit. House.
keepers are not usually much benefited
by such changes. Alum baking pow
ders are generally low priced, but they
are well known to be detrimental to
health. Large quantities of one of
them were recently seized in New York,
being found to be largely composed of
sharp-pointed grains Of ground flint
and sulphuric acid!
Most of: the s~o-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum. The manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder has pat
ented the process of making the princi-
pal ingredient of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
. Housekeepers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers
or alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get a brand well known
to be made of cream of tartar, which is
. healthful product Of the grape.

OUR ATTITUDE EXPLAINED
Minister Powell Holds Interview
with Gen. Morales.
Faith Must Be Kept Befor Provi-
sional Government of santo Do
mingo Will BE Recognized.

San Domingo, Dec. 4.-Gen. Augustin
Morales, president of the provisional
government OF Santo Domingo, had
a long interview with United
States Minister Powell, during which he
demanded that Senior Galvan, former
minister of finance, should be withdrawn
from the board appointed by the govern
ment of President Wos y Gil, to arbi-
trate the claims of the Santo Domingo
Improvement company. Minister Pow
ell declined to grant this demand and
supplemented his declination by the
statement that the United States gov
eminent could only recognize the pro-
visional government of Santo Domingo
when it agreed to strictly observe all the
acts and engagements entered into by
former governments with the United
States. r
Washington, Dec. At is learned that
John G. Carlisle has been named as d
representative of the United States in
the arbitration of the claims in the
San Domingo Improvement company
against the Dominican republic which
was arranged for by former President
Wos y Gil, as one of the last of his official
acts. Senior Galvana, secretary Of
finance under the Wos y Gil administra-
ton, was named as the Dominican rep
resentative in the arbitration and the
United States and San Domingo united
in the selection of Judge George Gray
as the umpire. The state department
will support Minister Powell in his re-
fusal to yield to the desire OF the Domin>
lean provisional government that the
personnel of the arbitrators be changed
SO as to- eliminate Senior Galvan.
The state department has been in
formed that already a new revolution
airy movement has begun in San Domin-
go, even before the provisional govern
ment that ousted Wos y Gil has been
able to solidify itself into a permanent
government. These repeated uprisings,
in the face of Minister Powell's warn
ings, have concentrated the attention of
the Washington authorities upon the
island where American capital is in
vested, and there may be a.renewal in
a more forcible. ann of Minister
Powell's declaration that the peace of
the United States is not to be troubled
in this fashion.
