PURE FOOD Law LIKELY.
Mr. Hepburn Discusses the Objec-
tons Made to His Bin.

WASHINGTON Jan Ex-senator Hepburn said this
evening apropos Of the Pure Food bill. for which
he is theoretically seeking the support Of the
Senate with excellent prospects of success. it
must be obvious under the decisions of the SU-
prene Court that so long as goods of any de-
scription coming from another State were in the
Original package" they were subject TO federal
law and without the scope of State law. the State
laws would be powerless to suppress their manu-
facture or sale.
Under the protection of federal Jurisdiction"
he said. spurious and adulterated goods can be
produced in one State and carried into another and
placed in the body of the trade and brought so
near to final consumption as to render the law
however stringent. OF the State in which it is at
tempted to sell them practically imperative. That
is the reason why federal which shall control
the trade in all goods subject to adulteraton is
imperative
Asked for his opinion regarding the demand OF
the manufacturers that the federal law should
apply only 10 goods found be adulterated while
in their original packages the Senator said he was
of the opinion that such limitation would prove a
menace to the efficiency Of the law for which he is
working He holds that wherever the adulteration
is discovered If it be traced the manufactur-
er responsible for its production he should suffer
the penalty for having placed the market q
spurious or improperly labelled article
The representations of those manufacturers who
have thus far attempted argue the merits of the
law with Senator Hepburn have fallen rather fat
In the face Of the Senator's invariable assurance
that of course, the honest manufacturer had moth
ing whatever to fear from the proposed legislation,
and he could not believe that his intsrlocutor was
other than an honest manufacture. One producer
Of blended whskey only to-day assured the Senator

WILL LET CANAL WORK.
CONTRACTS DECIDED ON.
Commissions Conclusions Apwoved
by the President.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington Jan. 16-Authoritative announce
will be dug by contract. This policy has been
decided by the Isthmian Canal Commission
with the Presidents approval, and as soon as
possible after the question of sea level or locks
is definitely determined lontracts will be made
for practically the whole waterway and its
works Some sections Of the work which are
already planned and are not subject to modii-
cation, whatever final plans may be adopted
will be offered to the lowest responsible con-
tractors as soon as specifications can be pre-
pared.
So much preliminary work has been accom-
plished that the commission Is prepared to have
the work prosecuted on a comprehensive scale
in few months.
The canal will be divided into comparatively
short sections, and bids for each of these will
be called for. The engineers of the canal have
acquired all the knowledge that will be required
by intending contractors to figure closely on
the work. Awards to private contractors will
be made in every instance where the commits
sion is satisfied that the work cannot be better
and more expeditiously done by the government.
The determination to do the work by contract
was anticipated some time ago in these dis
patches, when the question to whether the
commission had authority under the law to let
this work to private contractors was submitted
to ATTORNEY General Moody for all opinion, and
thorizes the obstruction of the canal leaves the
method of construction entirely TO the dlscre-
ton Of the President and commission.
1t is understood that the Canal COMMISSION
has found over hundred responsible firms and
individuals in the United States willing 20 un-

Henry Irvlna,s STAGE Revolution.

Sir Henry Irving was the first actor
to make slenderness acceptable, or
tolerable, on the English stage. I'm
til his time fairness had been obliga-
tory; 1t is difficult to realize now the
full convention Of chest and shoulders
and calves. Comparatively lately a
man of stage experience was urgent
with company of English amateurs
that all the thin women and all the
lean men should be made plump.
Nothing" he said, us so impossible
on the stage as thinness." Irving
changed all this because his genius
was welded to uncompromisipg thin
ness.

With the exception of Brashear,

will represent Los Angeles during the
coming ball season are on hand and
will commence the hard course of train

the diamond, year.
The question as to who will hold down

appear when the Angels trot out for the
