IMPORTED FOODS.
Chemical Laboratories to Exam
inc Foreign Products
Many Cargoes Have Been Reshipped
Out of the Country as impure, Re-
suIting in Raising the Stand
ard of Imports.

Washington, Aug. PA chemical
laboratory for the examination of I'M
ported food products will be opened in
the appraisers store building OF the
treasury departme ent in New York by
the department of agriculture, Septem-
Der s. Five expert chemists will be
installed, having been selected through
special examination by the civil serv-
ice commission. This is the first of a
number of port laboratories to be es-
tablished to prevent impure food, the
product of foreign countries, entering
the United States. Congress will be
asked for appropriations for such lab
oratories at Boston, Philadelphia, New
Orleans, San Francisco and Chicago.
The foreign pure food law has been in
force more than year, and is regard.
ed as beyond the experimental stage.
DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief of the bu-
reau of chemistry Of the department Of
agriculture, declares that it is the in
tention of the department now "to put
the importations of food arrive at New
York.
When the pure food law first was
put into operation it was found that
78 per cent of the imports of foods and
drinks were admissible under it's pro-
visions. Many cargoes have been re-
shipped out of the country as impure,
resulting in raising the standard of
imports until now it is estimated that
IS per cent. of the imports are admiss-
able under the law.
The secretary of agriculture has just
granted the first request of an import
er to destroy his cargo instead of re-
shipping it after it had been condemn
ed as impure, the cargo being olive
oil.
The secretary of agriculture is await
ing an Interpretation of portion of
the law which, it is believed, will ex-
clude entirely the importation of sau-
sages from Germany.
The analysis of whisky is drawn
with a view of holding up what is
termed Scotch whisky" according to
DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry. DR.. Wiley declares that
there is not barrel of pure Scotch
whisky in the United States and that
the importations of this article are
practically all concoctions and should
be labelled Compound"

molishing Skating Ground.

A tide high enough to allow the harbor
boat Vigiiant to be launched was obtained
late yesterday afternoon. ana the boat,
armed with her ice-breaking plow, was
put overheard ready for service. This
morning early she went to the tidal basin
and. under the direction Of Harbormaster

When the Vigiiant reached the basin the
Ice was crowded with. several hundred
skaters, but on the appearance of the boat
and al the blowing of the danger whistles
the greater portion of the skaters left the
ice. A hundred or more of the more haZ-
ardous, however, continued skating son the
western portion of the basin, where the
shoal water would not allow the Vigilant
to go.
The ice along the west side about the
bathing beach was first attacked, and the
harbor boat cruised up and down, making
broad tracks. When she left the basin
this afternoon. however, but little over half
the ice on Il was broken.
The ice in places was from four to five
inches thick, and it often stopped the ves-
sePs Roadway. causing her to back and ram
the Ice in order TO get through. The work
OF demolishing the ice will be completed by
tomorrow afternoon.
