TROUBLE FOR FOOD
 AND DRUG DEALERS
NEW CONSTRUCTION PLACED ON PURE FOOD LAW-GUARANTY MUST COME FROM c AS WELL AS FROM A.

Washington June 16.--Trouble is brew ing for jobbers and wholesale dealers in food and drug products under the con- struction placed upon the pure food and drugs act by the department of agricul- ture
 Under the law the manufacturer of a particular line of food or drug products may obtain fromt the department a guar antee of purity and wholesomeness of the products. To the manufacturer whose products have been passed upon by ot- ficials of the department of agriculture, a serial number Is issued as an identiti- cation of the products inspected and found to be manufactured and labelled in accordance with the law. Until recently 1t was thought this guaratee would hold good, but the department holds that 1t does not.
 The law holds that the guarantee shall be from the person who sold the goods to the person charged with the offense. Thus: A & Go. sell to B. x Co. and give a guarantee the formers guarantee is not a valid defense for c. & Co. against any action under the food and drugs act as the last named purchased the goods from B. & Co.,
 It is the intention of the agricultural department soon to issue a regulation regarding this matter, which probably will create wide interest among jobbers and wholesale dealers al lover the coun- try It will be necessary for them, in order fully to protect their interest, to in- sist upon direct guarantees from all those from whom they purchase food and drug products.

TREATY TO cINcH POSSESSIONS.
France, Great Britain and Spain Guar
 antee Coasts.

Paris, June 16.-The news of the sign ing Of treaties by France and Great Brit ain and Spain, mutually guaranteeing the integrity of their respective coasts and their insular colonial possessions, which was immediately officially denied, was fully confirmed today by M. Pinchon, minister of foreign affairs. The fact that he had not at the time the news was published communicated with the powers led to the denial The preliminary pour parlers which have crowned by the ere ation of this new triple alliance had its birth at Algeciras, where France and Spain became imbued with the idea of a mutual guaranty for the status quo of their little orals and independencies such as Algeciras, Tunis, the Canaries, etc., as the best means of assuring the con- tinuanea of their peaceful development. AS soon as the terms of the Franeo-Span- ish accord was settled Spain opened pour parlers for an identical agreement with Great Britain whereby British holdings, such as Gibraltar and Lallah might be made equally sure.
 The agreement thus resulting will short ly be published. No general military convention accompanied the agreement, but provision is made in case of compli- cations to assure freedom of communi- cation with the netherlands to the re- spectivo territories included in the agree ment.
 The double arrangement, although quite distinct as between France and Spain and Great Britain and Spain is identical in terms.

POSTAL NOT MADE
 TO PAY FOR ERROR
JUDGMENT BY HALSTEAD & co. FOR $24ee.45 AGAINST COMPANY IS REVERSED BY APPELLATE DIVISION COURT.

New York, June 16-(special. )-The Judgment obtained by Halstead & Go. about year ago for $249S. 45 against the Postal Telegraph-C company for an error in the transmission of a message. which attracted considerable notice at the time In the press was reversed sev- eral days ago by the appellate division, the court holding that the person receiv- Ing telegram is bound by the terms and conditions the same as a person send ing the telegram Is bound. The court in it's opinion said: Tt is not disputed that the message here involved was an un- repeated message and the learned court charged the jury that, as between the sender and the company, this was a valid and lawful limitation by contract hut he charged that it aid not limit the rights or the plaintiffs, evidently upon the the ory that the action being one sound in tort the defendants were liable to the plalntins for the actual damages sus- la1ned and 1t Is this broad question go- ing to the substance of the action which we believe constitutes the fatal error In this case"
 The court aceordingiy reversed the Judgment and approved a decision of the spring court of Massachusetts in a sim liar case where that court said: "There Is nothing in this regulation which tends 10 emnarass or hinder the free use of the telegraph or to impose on those having occasion to transact or receive messages onerous or impraeticable duty.
 IT the defendant In the case involved had been obliged to accept and transmit the message without regulations, then it would assume its common law obliga- tions, but having the right to make regu- lations and being under no obligations to accept the message for transmission unless the parties interested agreed to abide by such reasonable regulations and It appearing that the sender did sign the blank provided by the company and which contained the limitations above mention ed, 1t must be presumed that the com pany undertook the duty only as thus limited by It's reasonable regulations and whether the action is deemed to rest upon the contract of the sender or to result from a breach of duty the limita- tion upon the amount of damages to be recovered being reasonable, the plaintiff has no standing to maintain this action unless he is the real principal in the transaction and then only to the extent of the amount paid for the transmission of the message"

A Many-Sided Citizen.

From the Washington Post.
 The President devoted the introduction of his Georgia day speech to repetition of his claims to be a representative American, having equal sympathy with and knowledge of north and south and east and west. None can dispute this quality with him, and 1t therefore Is agreeable to hear from him that the one thing which most mpresses him Is the essential unity of American citizenship. Nothing could more strengthen the na- ton, and we are happy indeed that we are not torn with dissensions such as distinguish races in Russia, sects in In dia and nations within the British Elm pire.
 It odd that man who so appreciates this quality of unity should embody with in himself so many distinct personages The average American who has any opin- ions at all has them decidedly, and knows what he thinks. But MT. Roosevelt Is so far from being an average American that he can be quoted upon both sides of many questions about which 1t Is possible to have opposing opinions.

CRISIS IN ORE TRANSFORMATION
American Smelling Official Says Con
 dition In Mexico Is Bad.

Torreon. Mexico. June 16.-Willard s. Morse, one of the high officials of the American Smelling and Refining com pany, stated yesterday that mining and smelting centers in Mexico are fearing a crisis iii the matter of fuel and ore trans portation. This is particularly true at such points as are dependent upon the Mexican Central railroad. MT. Morse states that the American Smelling and Refining company has at the present time over sixty thousand tons of ore and about 35,000 tons of fuel tied up with no prospect of being able to have it moved. Among the worst sufferers are the mine owners who are unable to send their product to the smelters and turn their money over for the purpose of meet ing new expenses. This condition of af- fairs, in the opinion of MT. Morse, has already worked great harm to mining as well as smelting interests and unless a remedy is speedily applied, he believes disastrous results will ensue.

 "The error" he said "was purely ac- cidental, but 1t put me, till 1t was cor rected, in rather a bad position. It made me feel like the young bridegroom of Schenectady
