JOKER IN THE BILL.
The New Inspection Law Does Not
 Stop Sale of Impure Meat.

Washington. D. C., Aug s.-A joker" has been discovered in the meat inspection law which. according to the authorities. may admit of the sale of considerable quantity of meat that. in ordinary circumstances. would not pass inspection.
 A general impression exists that all meat which enters into interstate commerce must be inspected before it Is offered for sale. This develops not to be the case. A provision of the law enables farmers 10 send to mar ket such carcasses as he may him self prepare for sale. Unless these carcasses are inspected at the point of their destination. they are sold to consumers without any inspection at all. IL matters not whether the meat thus offered for sale enters into in- terstate commerce. A farmer in Virginia. for instance could slaughter a steer and send the carcass into the District of Columbia under the law. Unless the health authorities of the city of Washington should happen to inspect the meat. there wouli be no inspection of it. The United States would not inspect it. although the meat may have been shipped by rail to Washington.
 Tn such circumstances. q farmer might kill a steer which was suffer- ing from tuberculosis. The evidence of the disease. in it's incipient state. would be found in the sub-marillary gland From ignorance or worse. the farmer would ship the carcass Hay ing removed the head of the animal before shipment the farmer oDuld no, be held as a violateT of the law bv the butchers receiving the meat. uuleS< ft could be shown absolutely that the farmer knew the animal was diseased. ManifestIy. it would be exceedingly difficult to obtain proof of such prior knowledge. even if ev- idenre sf the disease subsequently, were discoveredi very unlikely con. tineency-

American soldiers of fortune are seeking fame in China. The Chinese empire has in process of formation and organization a standing army of one million men or more, and this great army is to be officered and in- structed, to large extent, by Amer jeans. For many years China has sought military instruction from for eign countries. During the China Japanese war many of the officers in the Chinese ranks were Germans. a few were English and here and there an American was found. During the past ten years hundreds of Japanese have become officers in the Chinese army. At the conclusion of the Rus so-Japanese war the authorities of the Chinese empire. impressed by the success of the Japanese arms, sought the aid of Japanese officers in putting their army on a substantial footing. Now it seems they have turned to America Americans are wanted to instruct the Chinese rank and file in military science and tactics. to com. mand brigades and divisions of the army and even to direct the military operations of the empire. The move. ment for the substitution of Ameri- cans for other foreign officers was inaugurated by the Chinese Empire Reform association.

.sasRR1gEDENT's SON STUnzaas.s ,sSs,..,sss 7s ----- Exxvrv Archie Visits Fleet at Newport and
 Asks That No One Tell Father.

Newport, Aug S.--Archie Roose- welt, son of the president, who is vis- itinE at Saunderstown, quiet sum merxesort near Newport, cAnnea. Nn- announced yesterday to look over the big fleet of the North Atlantic squa- dron. He called upon Commander Sawyer of the naval training station, and also upon Commander Gleaves at the torpedo station.
 The lad was on sightseeing trip at his own expense. He paid boat hire and carriage fare, and asked that no one mention of his visit he made, as his father didn't know of his con- ing.
 At the torpedo station he was shown all the artifices of modern warfare, was shown how gun cotton is made, and also shown the intri- -cacies of submarine and other torpe' does. He inspected the torpedo boats, including the one in which his father was once submerged.

of concrete fact. therefore. the .ordin- ary consumer will have no better assurance of the healthfulness of the meat he buys than he has now. ex- cept that. in general way, he knows that all meat killed in certain great packing-houses must have been in spected before it was accepted by the railroads for shipment g S
 The law does not apply. however to meat slaughtered in the locality where it is offered for sale and the bulk of the meat consumed is local killed. Secretary Wilson, who is giv. ing night and day to the enforcement of the meat inspection law. says il would be impossible for the govern. ment to inspect all of the meat offer ed for sale in the United States. Thus far. of the nearly one thousand pack ing houses doing a greater or less in terstate commerce business in this country, less than two hundred have applied for government inspection Of course. the number which has ap. piled constitute those which do the great bulk of the slaughtering in the country. but the possibilities of the shipment of bad meat from the others are not pleasant to contemplate.
 ' The penalties of the law attaching to the railroads for the carrying from one state to another of meat not in spected by the government are SO se- we're that few chances will be taken by the railroads themselves; but the other loopholes which the law offers are so large that it is a practical cer' tainty that meat unfit for human consumption yet will get to the mar kets. .t

men responsible. for it would do well to voluntarily. retire from the as-. sumed leadership, unless they desire to run up against the wrath of an outraged people who are in no con-
 dition to be trifled with in the cam
 paign now opening in this state, the forerunner of the national campaign
 of 1908, when the people will be ar
 rayed against the representatives of
 the trusts, syndicates and illegal cor
 porations, for the control of the gov ernment. The signs of the times por- tray a realignment of political par ties and the issue will be clean cut
 and defined and made so plain that
 he who runs may read In the sem
 ate of the state of Connecticut in
 1904 were six senators who bore the
 democratic label and were registered in the legislative manual as demo- crats. With the exception of Senator
 Jeremiah Donovan of the Twenty sixth district, the records made by these gentlemen at the legislative session are not such as to commend them for renomination and support by the democratic masses. The record will show that on all measures in which the people were interested they were found on the side of cor porate wealth, being used as an an
 mex by the republican leaders to pro-, mote the interests of corporations in
 stead of the welfare of the people. It is understood that these men are all
 candidates for renomination. They
 may, with the aid of the machine or, ring in their respective districts, be able to secure renomination,
 but, while not pretending to be a prophet or the son of prophet,
 will venture the prediction that the
 people will just as effectually send
 them into political oblivion as they
 did the manipulators and schemers
 in the campaign of 1904, not only
 in Connecticut, but throughout the
 Union"

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8. 1906.

Theodore Roosevelt has reiterated in various forms the announcement he made on election night in 1904, to the effect that he would not be cane didate for reelection, and would not accept another nomination. His good faith cannot be questioned, yet, in spite of his announcement, it is a fact that his renomination is not only ardently desired by great ele- ment of his party, but the prediction is confidently made by independent and well-posted observers that MT Roosevelt will be renominated. It is also remarkable that a majority of the republican members of the house of representatives, shrewd politicians as a rule, believe that President Roosevelt is the only man who can defeat Bryan, and that when this fact becomes patent he will be forced to run again. These congress- men are all candidates for re-elec- tion, and they would like nothing better than to have their names on a ticket headed by Theodore Roosevelt. He is regarded by them as the great est asset of the republican party. In the approaching congressional cam paign, nine out of ten of them will make their fight on issues he has made and championed.

CHARGED HIM $500 A VISIT.
Rich Man Forgot to Pay the Bill. and Doctor Brings Suit Against Estate.

New York. Aug s.-Dr Samuel Thompson Banes. Philadelphia phy- clan. is suing in the supreme court to recover sS3,0T0 from the estate of William L. Rainey. a wealthy Phila- delphian. who died In this city tn August. 1904.
 The doctor alleges that when he was first called. in 1898 to attend Rainey an agreement was entered in- to by which the doctor was to re ceive 800 a day for every day of actual attndance. In addition he was to be reimbursed for all travelling and other expenses. The physician says the agreement required him to abandon his other patients whenever Rainey happened to want him.
 Dr Banes says be put in l00 days in exclusively attending to Mr Raj ney's ailments. the balance of his bill representing expenses. travelling and otherwise. He declares that he fui- filled all the requirements of his con tract but that MT Rsiney failed 10 pay him as promised or to make pro vision for such payment in his will.

'If an Englishman knew what goes on in slaughterhouses in Eng land and how their meat is treated
 they would welcome the Chicago product with open arnfs," thus spoke one of the chief sanitary inspectors at a recent conference. Tt is clean CT and better than the general run of potted and timed meats made in
 Germany or Great Britain. I have made careful inspection of the slaughterhouses in England, and have seen things that compare un- favorably even with the conditions
 alleged to exist in the great packing plants in the American city" The declaration of the inspector was greeted with angry cries. and it is said that he was finally howled down. London health officers have formu- lated proposals dealing with canned
 goods for the consideration of the various borough authorities. The most important clause provides that the name and address of the manu- facturer and the date of canning be impressed on all tins. and that 1 per cent of each consignment of import ed food shall be inspected and exam ined before the goods may be opened, and that food intended for canning shall be inspected by an independent official prior to being canned. The use of preservatives is strictly prohib- ited. a- -.. .4". zs -s

Has More Than Doubled In Less Than
Twenty Years

Has More Than Doubled in Less Than
Twenty Years
In a recent issue of the National
Geographical Magazine are some inter
esting figures on the worlds gold prod
uction and the great increase in the
amount of gold that is yielded every
year. We are told that in 1885 all the
world produced only s115 100000 IN
gold. In 1904 the production had in
creased to s347, 900, 900 and it was co.,
idently predicted that this year the
total would not be less than $375,000,-
900. Beginning with 1906 and continu-
ing for an indefinite period, the ex-
perts thing the annual output of COLL
will be $400, 100000.
"When we remember that in 1885,"
says the writer, "the production If
gold was but $115,000,0 600, we begin t,
get a comprehensive view of the signif-
canoe of this increase. When we re-
member further that the entire none
tary stock Of gold in the world is about
SIS, zoe, 900, 000, we can calculate that
the output from the mines in the next
fourteen years promises to equal a total
as great as the present monetary stock
of gold. These figures are startling.
They perhaps suggest the possibility Of
a disturbance of values. 1t does not
follow, of course, that with the produo-
ton of $4oo, oo0,O 900 of gold per annum
the monetary stocks will be increased
by than amount. The uses Of gold in
the domestic arts draw off at least $751;
100000 a year, but that will leave over
$500, 000, 900 a year to add to the gold
reserves"
1t is admitted that the first tendency
of this great increase in the worlds
stock of gold will be to increase prices,
but the students do not think this will
constitute a serious menace. On the
other hand, whatever disadvantages
may arise will be more than offset by
the advantages. 1t is suggested, and
with good reason, that the surplus gold
will find outlet in an increase in manu-
featuring enterprises, in the exploita-
ton of new fields, in the opening Of
hitherto inaccessible territory, or ter
ritory that could not before be profit
ably made the theater of large opera
lions.
1t is a matter of history that this
was one of the results of the earliest
discoveries of gold in Peru and Mexico.
Encouraged by the successes of the
Spanish adventures, others fitted out
expeditions and developed an unknown
land. The same conditions, on a some
what smaller scale, were brought about
by the discovery OF gold in California
and in Australia.
The conclusion that it will De a long
time before the world has too much
gold is irresistible.
