Alleged Effect of These Bills.

1.-THE enactment of any one of these bills
will apparently result as follows:
First. New standards for foods and
drugs will be established in and for the
District of Columbia
Second. The selling Or Offering for sale
in the District of Columbia of any adulter-
ated or misbranded article will be an Of
fence against a purely federal statute and
cognfzable by federal officers alone
NO exception is taken to the proposed
change in the standards for foods and
drugs in this District which will result
from the enactment OF any one of the
pending bills Nor to the enforcement in
the District. by Federal officers, of the
general provisions Of any such law-that
is. of the provisions applicable throughout
the entire Federal Domains any objec-
ton made. notwithstanding the difficulties
that stand in the way Of the establish
ment of an effective service of this charac-
ter, So far as relates to the purely local
features of the proposed legislation, how
ever. 1T may be stated that If the United
states government purposes to enforce the
proposed law in the District of Columbia
as rigidly as the corresponding laws are
now enforced by the local government it
will be necessary for it TO maintain a con-
siderable force of inspectors for that pur-
pose. or the inspection of foods and drugs
in the District will fall below the present
standard

DR.. Woodward's Suggestion.

DR.. Woodward's letter to the Commits
sioners is in part. as follows:
Il have the honor to invite your attention
to the legislation relating to the manufac-
ture and sale of foods and drugs in the Dis
trict of Columbia, which is now pending In
Congress and which, II enacted. not only
will repeal the law in force In this jurisdic-
ton with respect to such matters. but also
will mark radical departure from the
principles underlying the administration Of
the internal affairs of the District. 1 bring
these bills to your attention in this way.
and at this time because each contains GER
tain provisions not specifically relating to
the District of Columbia, and, therefore,
none has been referred to the committee on
the District or is likely to reach the Com
missioners through the usual channels.
The legislation referred to Is contained in
the following bills
Senate bill 1913, House resolutions Nos

CHANGES IN FOOD LAW

LEGISLATION CONSIDERED TO BE
DEFECTIVE
So Sweeping as to Be Objectionable
Effect on Local Conditions
Described.
EXCEPTIONS DESIRED

Commissioner mcfarland will recon-
mend to the Commissioners that Congress
be asked to provide in any pure food and
drug legislation that may be enacted such
exceptions will preserve the food in
spection work of the health department in
the District of Columbia. Pending bills Of
this character are considered as so sweep
ing that if enacted without change they
would transfer to the Department Of Agri-
culture all the food inspection work of the
health department to the detriment of the
local community. This is assumed to be
unintentional on the part Of the trainers Of
these bills. and it is supposed that 1t is only
necessary to point out the effect they will
have If not amended, to secure the neceS-
sary alterations Similar action was taken
in the last Congress. The alterations de-
sired together with the reasons for them,
are given in letter from DR.. w. c. Wood
ward. health officer, which Commissioner
mcfarland will recommend shall be sent by

Views Of Military Experts.

London. May General kuroki S
official dispatches, specially tele-
graphed in full from Toxic, give a
clear picture of the sequence of events
though the decisive result was not
reached till Sunday morning, about .
a. m.
The fighting appears to have been
carried on with only a short intermis-
sion ever since Tuesday. On the lat
ter day the guards division made a
successful attack on one of the islands
in the Yalu in order to enable the
bridge to be constructed from the
mainland on the left or Japanese bank
so as to shorten the passage to the fur
ther bank. Part of the second division
was also placed on this island to be
ready to reinforce guards as soon as
the further bank had been taken.
A long preliminary artillery duel. ac-
cording to British generals reading
of the dispatches. now seems to have
taken place. during which the Rus
slams, firing at great range. did con-
siderable mischief both to the works
which were being carried on on the
island and on the mainland.
The Russians appear to have been
densely massed, for We are told that
10000 of the men were concentrated
on four miles Of ground. This, then,
was doubtless the situation.
On Sunday morning at dawn the
Russian artillery fire completely sub
dued every point of vantage and
found the Russian works occupied by
we'll trained skirmishing forces of the
Japanese, so that no Russian could
show his head above the works with
out being shot, and every Russian off,
The Holly chieftain., 1904-05-06

Ger who showed himself IN order to
encourage his men being picked off.
Meanwhile the fire was being thus
kept under. The Japanese army in
increasing numbers crossing on the
doomeu "impregnable defenses." In
particular they were creeping round to
the north so as to be able to seize the
commanding ground of the present ar
tillery, from whence to enfilade the
defenses and throw their terrible
shells into the masses Of crowded Rus
SLAMS.
The final report from General Kur-
oki gives the rapid end on Sunday. At
daybreak on Sunday morning the ar
tillery opened on Chiu Tien Cheng, and
about a. m. the guns were able to get
within decisive range of the place
from the high ground on the north.
With no guns of the enemy any longer
able to reply to them, this smashing
bombardment was designed to prepare
the way for an infantry assault by
shattering the nerves and breaking
down the defenses Of the helpless re-
cipients Of this mass Of lead.
By quarter past s, when the gen.
eral artillery bombardment had lasted
Tor about five hours, and as the twen-
ty-fve minutes the guns had been
pouring in shells from close range to
which there was and could be no re-
ply. the Japanese infantry closed and
severe fighting took place for Just
three quarters of an hour. That was
the time required for the Japanese to
storm the works and position and to
occupy the whole line from end to end.
We know little as yet of the losses
or captures on either side during
these historic events, but eventually
the victory was as complete and decis-
i've as, for the number engaged, it
could be.
