"The matter has been agitated at diff.

THE ApULTERATIoN of food is the
most fraudulent, cruel and dangerous i'm
position practised upon the people OF this
country, and that immediate and heroic
measures should beinstituted against the
perpetrators of this Outragcis the conyic-
ton of millions who are being defrauded
daily and their health menaced by Peo-
pie who are greater enemies to their fell
low-beings than are the trusts The pro-
ceedngs Of the Health Protective Asso-
citation in New York few days ago
brought to light facts with which all
should become acquainted. During the
sessions of the association, some sPeci'
mems of coffee and spices were passed
around for inspection which were made
up. according to the analyses pasted on
the bottles, of almost everything except
the substances indicated by the names.
Black pepper was composed OF ground
olive stones, cocoanut shells, wheat mid
dlings and white pepper shells. An an
alysis of ginger brought to light such
things as wheat, -four, rice, bran, mus
tard bulls and in one case 20 per cent Of
plaster. Mustard was colored in one
case with tumeric, harmless vegetable
oil. aud in another with martius yellow, a
poisonous coal tar dye. 1t was adulterat-
ed with -four, and in one case with ~
per cent of plaster. Coffee was adulter-
ated with chicoryand various other things.
sample of cream oftartsr was made up
of acid phosphate of lime and 70 per cent
of plaster was exhibited. A specimen Of
currant jelly had been analysed into
starch paste, sweetened with glucose,
coIoled with coal tar, favored with chemi-
Gals and preserved with salicyllc acid.
Jelies and jams are said to be among
the most grossly adulterated products on
the markets and Aavoring extracts, such
as vanilla, lsmon and orange, are as bad.
These vile mixtures have been found to
contain as much as 30 per cent of wood
alcohol, an almost deadly poison, which
acts upon the eyes and produces blind.

Conditions i'm Russia.

Warsaw, Feb. 9.-There is little if
any change in the situation here today,
except that most of the strikers who re-
sumed work are out again, and the au-
thorities are somewhat nervous over the
impending renewal Of the strike and the
accompanying rioting. At Kief, the
orders received for the troops to proceed
to Manchuria have been countermanded
and the troops will remain as long as the
local authorities require their presence.
The Thirty-third battery of artillery has
received 40 rounds ofshrapnel for every
gun. The soldiers are sleeping in the
streets prepared for trouble.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 9. M. White,
the president of the council of Ministers,
it is learned. is now pressing moderate
reforms theoretically. The last meeting
of the council discussed religious toler-
ance toward the unorthodox sects in Rus
STA. It was decided that tolerance should
be especially shown toward the sect
known as the Old Believers. This
is decided step in the opposite
direction from that previously pursued
by the government. Even the Met
ropolitan Antonious and NJ. Sabler who
is the assistant of NJ. Pobiedonotzeff,
Procurator of the Holy Synod, supper
ted this plan of tolerance. The question
as to the amount of tolerance toward
other sects will be discussed at the next
sitting of the council.
ST. Petersburg, Feb. 9.--The Gov
erument's attitude toward the workmen

The Minister of finance, however, an
nounced that no legislation favoring
the workingmen's claim would be en-
acted, nor would their suggestions be
entertained. This change OF the gov
ernment's policy has alarmed the en-
ployers, who have decided to meet aud
discuss the possibility of granting some
of the concessions demanded.

Curari, the most subtle and deadly

lieyed by DR.. Joseph Springer, formerly

drug was probably administered by means
of engagement or wedding rings. "By

DR.. Springer, ''or making it rough or.
sharp in any manner, applying the cursrI
on the rough edge and then slipping the
ring on the finger so as to cause the
slightest abrasion of eskin death would
follow. 1t would only be necessary for
the slightest quantity of the poison to
reach the blood. One-sixtieth of a grain
of curari is fatal" Among the persons

ALL THE pending arbitration treaties
we're yesterday favoraby reported from

taken up for consideration at an early
date. The vote in committee to report
the treaties favorably was unanimous.

The subject of arbitration must first be
submitted TO the Senate tor approval.
This was satisfactory to Senators repre-
senting southern States, who were APP
prehensive that some claim might arise
which would open up the question Of
debts repudiated by the Confederate
States. Ten treaties were reported with
the following nations Great Britain,
Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Swe-
den aud Norway, Switzerland, Mexico,
Spain and Portugal. All have been
made public except those with Spain
and Sweden and Norway. The terms of
all are identical. 1t is understood the
President will accept the amendment
adopted by the Senate committee, al
though he has heretofore insisted that
they be ratified without amendment or
not at all. The amendment neutralizes
the treaties so that no arbitration can
begin under them without the approval
of the Senate icing first given in each
instance. This is regarded as notice that
the Senate will insist on its full share in
governmental functions. 1t is believed
the Senate will ratify the treaties with
the amendment now added.

DESPITE the victory OF the statehood
boomers from New Mexico, and the va
rious republican Senators representing
interests which are to be advanced by
the admission Of that Territory as a
State, their schemes are threatened with
almost certain defeat in the House. The
House declined, when the statehood bill
was considered there, to allow New
Mexico to become q State without the
addition of Arizona, and it is predicted
it will now refuse to concur in the Sem
ate amendment. When the bill reaches
the House it will probably be referred
to the committee on territories and may
remain in that committee until the end
of the SESSION, which is so near at hand
that an agreement between the two
houses is impossible. 1t is asserted by
the House that, owing to the radical
changes made in the bill, it comes back
from the Senate virtually new measure,
and therefore cannot be sent to confer
ence at once except by unanimous con-
sent. The Senators who voted for the
bill declare that it ia now the property
of both houses and must he sent to GEN.
ference. However, as the House will
deal with the matter in its own way,
this contention by the Senate simply
wideDs the breach between the two
houses on the statehood question and
makes an agreement less likely. Should
there be an agreement st all, it is pre-
dicted that all the bill will be stricken
out except that portion relating to Okla
homa and Indian Territory, and that
{ he boomers from New Mexico will have
10 make their fight over again.

Debate on the railroad rate bill was
resumed when the House met at IL
o clock today. Mr.. Pierce said that he
would vote for the Esch-Townsend bill,
the republican measure.
This being the last day OF the debate.
vote on the proposition to be had at 3
o'clock, the members disE layed a greater
interest in the proceedings than through
out the three preceding days.
Mr.. Williams (of Miss. and Mr.. Hep
burn will close the debate for the demo-
Gratis and republicans respectively.
Mr.. Thomas fayoring rate legislation,
said that unable to secure the adoption
of the Dayey bill, he would vote for the
republican measure.
Mr.. Shull opposed the special court
feature of the TOWNSEND bill.
Mr. De Armond said that the Town
send bill did not meet the requirements
of the recommendations of the President
in his message to Congress.
Mr.. Crumpacker declared that the
power to regulate railroads always exist,
ed and that the measure before the House
simply defined the policy of regulating.
Mr.. Williams, leader of the minority,
said President Roosevelt had entered the
democratic camp when he asked for
railroad rate legislation and that he had
again uttered democratic doctrine when
be declared that the Filipinos, when
they were educated should be treated as
Cuba has been treated.
Mr.. Williams read the section of the
Davey bill, which provides that the cor
rected rate decreed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission shall be in force
20 days after it is fixed, and remain in
force until such time as the court of last
resort shall declare it to be unjust. Re-
ferriDg to the Townsend bill, he said
that its passage would be great i'm
provement over the conditions now
but he drew attention to the
fact that it is indefinite in its provisions
the continuance of the rate
fixed by the commission during the time
that the rate might be subjected to
litigation.
Mr. Hepburn, chairman of the COM
merce committee closed for the majority.
He complained that his bill had been
and that Iowa people had
hung him in efigy.
The Dayy bilI-the democratic sub.
ititute for the Esch- Townsend--was then
presented as an amendment and was lost
