ovens. There is not the slightest POSSIBLE
ity of reduction in the size of a loaf of
bread by the bakers, they say, because
they would be violating law which states
that each loaf of bread shall weigh one
pound and provides for a penalty to be
imposed for each loaf which is found to be
under weight.
Some of the, bakers. a Star reporter
learned. might want to increase the price
OF bread before others, due to the fact that
they have not a large stock of -four on
hand and will have to pay the present
high prices. Bakers, as a rule. usually
keep enough -four on hand to run them sew
eral months, but 1t Is stated that owing
to the condition and uncertainty of the
price or flour during the last few months
some OF them let their stock run down.
thinking that the wheat market would drop
ana that -four would decrease in price and
That they would not have to pay the ad-
vanced rates.
Other bakers, however, always keep their
hour room well stocked. and, IL Is said
there are those among them who have
enough flour on hand to run their bakeries
for two or three months, during which time
the market price may take drop.
According to dispatches from New York
the master bakers Of that city decided 10
increase the price of rolls from 10 cents to
IL cents per dozen on account of the higher
price of -four but 1t was decided not to
make any change in the price of a loaf Of
bread. Some of the bakers In that city are
said to have reduced the size OF their
loayes

is obvious that this Japanese detachment
would have no adequate powers of resist

the Russians. once in possession of the high
ground, the japanese retreat necessarily
would be through the valley toward their

airy OF the Russians would have turned the
battle into mere massacre At the pres
ent moment Tokyo has reported Russian
FORCES concentrating in the vicinity of Pos
s1et bay. 1t also seems that thousands OF
Russian soldiers working day and night
have so strengthened the Notifications of
Port Arthur and Niu-Ching that there is
little prospect of any further success being
achieved by the Japanese fleet in that vicin-
ity In the near future. The great Russian
fortress Is said to be now well provisioned
and Its garrison and supports are said to
amount to 80, 600 men, The recent attacks
by Admiral Togo would appear to have
been dictated by a realization Of these de-
fensive measures taken by the Russians.
Like good fighter, he made up his mind to
make one more effort to win, and he took
every precaution to make the attack cost
Japan as little as possible, and to insure the
easy and safe withdrawal of his force. 1t
Is entirely likely that although the Japanese
fleet may retain its position blockading Port
Arthur, nevertheless as q military PROPOSE

will remain so until the Japanese army has

Cave-In Threatens City.

SCRANTON, Pa, February 25-One Of
the most extensive cave-ins that the north
ern anthracite coal regions has ever ex-
perienced occurred in West Scranton early
today. The cavern has affected an area
OF about forty acres. Several houses have
been wrecked and many families hurriedly
removed their household goods to places
Of safety. When the first break occurred.
shortly after midnight. the residents be-
came panic stricken and rushed from their
houses.
There are about 200 In the district affect
ed. Some are completely wrecked. others
are out OF plumb, while nearly every house
in the territory is twisted to such an ex-
tent that the doors and windows connot
be opened.
The cave-in was caused by the settling
of the surface over the Diamond vein Of
the Bellevue collisry Of the Delaware. Lack

THE PRICE OF BREAD
NO ADVANCE IN WASHINGTON.
BUT ONE POSSIBLE.
The Wheat Market and the Russo
Japan War Said to Affect
the Trade.

The price of bread In this city has not
been advanced. but how long the present
conditions will continue or whether the
price Will be raised at all cannot at this
time be determined. The matter depends
on the action of the bakers and the con-
dition Of the wheat market, which has
been on steady upward climb of late.
None of the bakers approached by a Star
reporter this afternoon would talk much
on the subject. Some intimated that there
is no need for alarm. but declared that
they did not know how long it would be
before some action might be taken If wheat
continued as high in price as 1t is now.
would be necessary to raise the price of
consideration that they have not all been
compelled to pay the present high price
for flour. They purchased before the pres
ent increase in price.
AS stated in The Star Tuesday. flour has
advanced In price from $3.50 to $1.75 per
barrel more than 1t was at this time last
year. 1t has been slowly but steadily adj
vancing few cents each day until 1t has
reached the present high scale. A short
crop last year and manipulations on the
stock markets are assigned as the causes
for the increase In price. and then, too.
the RusS0-Japanese war is said to have
something to do with the upward flight of
wheat
Lard Also Advances.
Lard. another Ingredient used with -four
in the preparation Of bread. has advanced
2 cents on the pound during the last forty
five days. and 1t was suggested today by
some that If the present conditions do not

Building Absolutely Unsafe.

Senator Scott replied that while he was
not an expert yet he had had a great deal
to do with fitting up buildings in which
machinery was to be placed, and he knew
enough about that to satisfy him that the
old government printing office building was
absolutely unsafe. The dry rot in that
building, the condition of the walls and all
the circumstances that he had recounted
satisfied him of that fact. He did not mean
to say that the building would fall within
twenty-four hours or ten years but 1t was
In fact unsafe. and he would not wish to
work In it.
Senator Allison reviewed the history of
the government printing Office, SO far as
the movement to have a new building there
was concerned, and believed that some
action should be taken to protect the
building. He said that, SO far as fire pro-
lection was concerned. everything was done
In that building that could possibly be
thought of to prevent fire or to put 1t
out II one started. Some time he expect
ed that the appropriations committee would
take the matter up. There were under way,
he said. preliminary plans for a new build
iEg which would be forthcoming In time.
He did not believe there was any immi-
nent danger. such as the report Indicated.
After this running discussion the Senate
proceeded with the calendar without taking
any action on the report submitted by
Senator Scott.
