NO TRUST RECEPTION.
Bryan Does Not Want Any Trust
Magnates to Participate.

NEW YORK. July Nv. ]. Bryan has
informed the men who are preparing the
reception for him on his return to this
country that he does not desire represen-
tatiyes Of the trusts to have any part In
the affair. He has caused 1t to be known
that he does not intend to have the trust
brand placed upon him.
In a letter to a member OF the reception
committee which Is to welcome him Mr..
Bryan set forth decided views as to the
character Of the committee and what form
the greeting should take.
After waiting several weeks to hear from
Mr.. Bryan as to his position In regard to
the movement to have him again lead the
nght for the democracy. those who have
taken the initiative in this city In the re-
ception plan were gratified to receive his
wishes
While he Is much pleased by the indorse-
ment Of his opinions and by the compH-
ment paid by the New York city commit
tee to himself, Mr. Bryan said he would
not consent to a reception in which men
friendly to trusts and corporate interests
should have part.
It was his understanding, Mr.. Bryan
said In the letter, that several persons who
are well known in this country as great
hnanciers and promoters Of trusts were ON
the New York reception committee. and.
II SO, the committee was not acceptable to
him. He said he had not changed his Views
on the trust question, and that It would
be Inconsistent for those interests now to
foster his candidacy because of the more
extreme Views OF newer radicals.
Mr.. Bryan was careful to make clear
that his letter was not intended for publ
cation and that he would write letter for
publication at an early date. or az soon as
he was notified OF the plans OF the recep-
ton committee
Several changes in the plans for the re-
eeption have already been decided upon and
are taking shape. The Commercial TRAY
elers and Hotel Mems Antitrust League
has handed, over the management of the
reception to the committee on plan and
scope. This gives the affair wider and
more national character. The committee is
composed OF prominent democrats from all
over the country. -

DECISION By COMMISSIONERS.
Action in Case Of Electricians and Gas
filters.

After considering the arguments as adj
vanced by both sides In the controversy at
a recent hearing before the Commissioners,
Engineer Commissioner Biddle today rec
commended that all local electrical contract
ors who may desire to do any work In
houses in connection with the gas pipes,
shall be required to have a gasf1tters- IL
cense. The papers have not yet reached
Commissioner West, but 1t Is understood
that he will approve the recommendation
and the issue Of an official order will fol-
low.
This decision is said to mark the close Of
a long-standing dispute between local cleo
trical contractors and gashtters. The lat
ter, II seems, were required by regulation
to call in an electrical worker in case 1t
was necessary to disturb the electrical con-
nection of the combination fixtures in a
house, and they argued that the electrical
contractors should be bound by the same
rule when they undertook to uncoupIe gas
connection. The matter was submitted to
the Commissioners and they gave all inter-
ested an opportunity to be heard before
giving their decision.

WILL BE A GUARANTEE
FEDERAL STAMP TO BE PUT ON
CANNED MEAT.

Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural De-
partment has issued the following state
ment regarding the inspection to Be un-
dertaken by his department:
American live stock are the healthiest
in the world. The great ranges OF the
west produce herds OF cattle In which the
percentage OF disease 10 remarkably small.
and the federal government 10 steadily re-
ducing. by approved scientific methods. this
small percentage. The inspection of the
animals before and at the time OF slaughter
has always been thorough II 10 true that
the Department Of Agriculture has hereto
fore lacked the power and the money to
provide for an efficient supervision Of sani-
tation and the methods Of preparation OF
canned meat food products. The legisla-
ton which has just become effective pro-
vides the Department Of Agriculture with
an adequate law with ample money to
carry 1t into effect. Supervision and in
spection will be extended from the pasture
to the package. The federal stamp upon
the can will be q guarantee not only OF the
healthfulness OF the animal, but also thai
the product was prepared in sanitary sur
roundings. and with the addition Of no dele
FERROUS chemical or preservative-any meat
food product bearing the government stamp
will be At for food.
with this law In operation, It may be
accepted as fact that for healthfulness
and purity the prepared or canned product
will compare favorably with the fresh meat
of the United States, which Is. and always
has been. the finest in the world.
Tho new law IL comprehensive, the means
for its enforcement are ample, and its exc
cution will be thorough. People at home
and abroad may use our meats In conf
dence.
by order Of the President
Secretary Wilson has decided not to en-
ter upon his annual vacation until he has
completed the organization necessary to
put into operation the new meat inspection
law. He will give practically his entire
time to this work for the next two months.
The new pure food law also will require at
tention. but he intends to leave this almost
wholly to DR.. H. w. Wiley. chief Of the bu-
reau Of chemistry.
