Our Washington Letter.

Whe the pure food bill passed
the Senate it's most pernicious fea.
tues had been!so removed bv var.
ious amendments that, although it
still retained his name, Senator
Hepburn required an Introduction
to it, as he could not recognize it
as his own. By the time the House
gets through with it we will prob
ably have good pure food bill, as
it only needs a few additional
amendments to make it the same as
the amendment offered by Senator
Money, which is conceded to be the
best food bill offered at this session
Senator Bailey's speech on this
bill was one Of the abest made this
session IN the senate, and he tam
gled Senator McCumber so skill
fully that he looked like bunch
of bow knots on bed spring.
Placing the rate bill in the hands
of Senator Tillmen marks the first
time in our history that the fight
for an administration measure has
been led BY tire leader of the min
oritv party and must depend TN the
votes of the minority for passage
This proves that the railway rate
question is good Democratic doc
trine, and like the ship subsidy bill
is Just little more Democratic
thunder stolen by the Republicans
to make them popular with the
people.
John w Yerkes, Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue, a Republican,
who is considered one of the shrew-
best politicians in the country, pre-.
diets a Democratic majority in the
House at the next session. He says
shat internal wrangles among the
Republicans in various parts of the
country make this strong prob
ability.
DR. R G Eccles, of Brooklyn, an
eminent authority on food and food
adulteration, and leading chemist,
gave some startling testimony be-
fore the House Committee at it's
hearing on the pure food bill la t
week. After showing that in the
small quantities in which preserva-
tives are used commercially they
are no more harmful proportion
atelv than common salt. he present
ed some official Government stats
tics proving conclusively that
deaths had insreased from microbic
diseases wherever anti-preserva-
tive" laws had been adopted, and
had decreased wherever the use of
preservo!ives had been permitted.
In North Dakota, in single year
after the use of preservatives had
been stopped. the number of deaths
had increased nearly sixty per cent
In Berlin. Germany. under the
same conditions, the death rate in
creased seventv-twO per cent. In
Chicago, where the use of preserva
tiveS is steadily increasing, the
death rate has dropped from 7O7
per 10000 population in 1890 to
347 per 10000 at the present time,
more than one half.

Flood WithdraWS.

Representative H D Flood, OF
Virginia, who had been mentioned
chairman of the democratic con.
gressional committee, announced
his withdrawal in favor of Reprea-
tive Grggs, of Georgia. This. it
is believed, insures the election OF
Griggs at the meeting to be held
next Tuesday night. Griggs was
chairman Of the mm;ttee four
years ago. His election will be ac-
claimed as a Hearst victory in some
circles.

Japanese Famine Sufferers.

Tokio.-The misery and suffering in
the famine district has been slightly re.
lieved by the prompt and liberal aid
of the foreign sources and the abate-
ment of the rigors of winter. The To-
cal authorities are trying to provide
work for the able-bodied. but the ex-
tent of the work is inadequate and
lives of thousands of people are still
on the verge of starvation. Many par
ents are parting with their children,
sending them to the alfeady crowded
Okayama orphanage.
The severity of the suffering under
gone by the children is clearly de.
picted in the faces Of those who are
compelled to part from their homes,
where the food consists of flour mixed
with straw and weeds. The mixture is
beaten fine, forming a pastry which
contains only twenty-five per cent. act
