Delicate Work for the Wine
Tester.

An interesting disquisition on
the preparation of Spanish wines
was delivered last night at Seel-
bach's by George G.. Howell, of
New York.
"When the grapes are crushed
and the juice has been extracted,"
said Mr.. Howell, "it is placed in
big 160-gallon butts and left to
stand. For six years it is not
even touched. Then a wine ex-
pert goes through the butts test
ing by smell. His nose is the
only means used to determine
the value and fineness of the
wine.
"NOw, it is a peculiar fact, and
one that has never been explain
ed, that from the same vintage,
secured under the same clrcum-
stances, many different grades
of wine will be secured. Some
of it will be pale, some medium,
some dark. Only about one-third
of it will be Of the quality. 1t is
the duty Of the wine tester, by
means of his nose alone, to de-
termine what butts contain the
pale wine, and so forth, and
what butts contain the best He
is able TO separate the various
qualities Then the wine is bot
tied, labelled and shipped to
foreign consumers. "-LouisviIfe

No Japanese WarshIps Lost.

London, Feb. 1S-The Japa-
nese legation here received an
official dispatch from Toxic to-
night. saying it was not true that
any Japanese vessels had been
destroyed, so far, In any of the
various naval engagements, and
that all necessary repairs had al.
ready boon made. The Japanese
feet remains intact.
This message also denies the
report that the Japanese were
driven from the neigh borhood of
Kin Chau, after a skirmish in
which $50 Japanese were taken
prisoners, and declares that the
Japanese made no attempt to
land at Pigeon Bay. 1t says the
Japanese forces have, up to the
present time, made no attempt to
land at any point where they
could come in contrat with the
Russians, and that consequently
all reports of land actions and
Japanese losses are untrue.

OPPOSED TO REDIsTRIcTING CITY.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: bill has passed the legislature and will be
presented to the Mayor for his approval early next
week which is Of such character that we think
the cooperation OF all good citizens and OF the
newspapers should be readily given TO obtain IT'S
defeat.
This bill is prejudical the justices to the IN
terests of the public, and to all parties such as
ltigants. witnesses and Jurors. whose attendance
on such courts IS required. As affecting the
justices II proposes to egislate out OF office with
out charges twenty-five justices. who have been
elected for OF which several years are yet TO
expire in each case. well fifty clerks ana
assistant clerks who were appointed for terms OF
six years
Apart from the constitutional questions involved
such legislation is dishOnoTRble in character and
opposed to the spirit Of the laws that it should
awaken the resentment of all right minded citizens
The bill proposes to redisrict the city and to estab-
lish eight districts, all but two Of which are
In portions of the city where they not required
and only two are assigned to the Borough of Man
haitian, where the justices already so over
burdened with work that the addition of two dis
trcts will give substantial relief.
The Infamous character OF the bill will be so
readily shown by examination OF the apportion-
ment OF the business done in the various districts
shown by the reports from these districts and
their returns to the City Chamberlain, that II IL
