May Buy Exposition.

A dispatch from Washington says:
Rear-Admiral Brownson and Com
mander Wilson, of the Bureau of Navi.
CATION, have returned from Hampton
Roads, where they inspected the naval
training station at Berkeley, near
Norfolk. They were agreeably sur
prised by the extent of the work being
done there, but feel that the Govern
ment should provide permanent build.
ings for the station.
There are now at Berkeley 1 900 men,
most OF them CHARTERED in tents and
small wooden buildings. In view Of
the uncertainty of securing large ap-
preparation from Congress, such as
was made for the naval training sta
tion on the Great Lakes. It has been
suggested that the Government take
over the permanent buildings on the
Jamestown Exposition grounds for this
purpose. The Navy Department will
work out plan, and if these buildings
can be secured at reasonable figure,
will ask that they be purchased. An
estimate will then be made for an ap.
preparation to put the buildings in or
der and transfer the station from the
present site at Berkeley, which is not
regarded as suitable for enlargement.

Commissioner KoIner's Good Work.

The Richmond Journal says: Com
missioner of Agriculture Koiner to.
day is engaged in sending out from
this city the twenty one Scotch immi.
grants who arrived yesterday and who
will be assigned to farmers in various
sections of the State as agricultural la.
Dor.
One man in the party brings a con.
siderable sum of money with him as
we'll as his wife and four sons. This
thrifty Scot will deposit his cash in
some bank and then endeavor to add
to his hoard by his exertions in the Old
Dominion.
Commissioner Koiner is much pleas.
ed with the men who have just arriv-
ed, and expects to hear good reports of
them. One more party of foreigners
is to land. and then no more may bee
pected, unless the Legislature decides
further to encourage immigration.
To tell the plain truth. Mr.. Koiner
has about exhausted the $40, 900 ap-
preparation for this purpose, which the
last General Assembly voted him.
He believes, however, that be has
made thorough success of the immi.
grafton movement. Some few of the
foreigners first brought over turned
out badly-this the commissioner does
not deny-but in recent months the
class of individuals imported" has
steadily improved.
In all between 500 and 900 persons
from Great Britain and the Continent
have been induced to settle in Virginia
through the agency of Mr.. Koiner.
They have all, with only a few excep-
tions, settled on the farms of the Old
Dominion.
In his report the commissioner will
probably describe his work in detail
to the solons, but he declines to say
what recommendation or requests he
will make for the Department OF Agri-
culture.

TOMATO PACKERS ON RACK.
HELD UP BY PURE FOOD EXPERTS IN
WASHINGTON

ASH1NGTON
Washington, d. c., Nov. 1O.-To
mato packers and the pure food experts
OF the department of agriculture have
come into collision and the result is a
foregone conclusion. The tomato can.
ners will discontinue the use of ben.
zoate of soda 10 the packing of toma
toes.
Dr.. Wiley and other experts of the
bureau Of chemistry of. the department
OF agriculture assert that ths use Of
the benzoate is harmful, while the can.
ners claim that it is not dele, -rious to
health. 1t was further c. 2'med by
many packers OF tomatoes ar ! manu-
facturers of catsup that ley were
compelled to use the chemie.i in order
to make it certain that their products
would not spoil in the can OF bottle.
The department had made some ex
periments along this line bat it pre-
ferred to obtain witnesses from other
sources. So a large mum Der =. packers
of tomato catsup came to tbs depart
ment and had conference With DR..
Wiley and some of his assistants. 1t
was found that the packers and man
ufacturers were not united.
Several of the men who make to
mato catsup alleged that experiment
developed the fact that catsup manu-
featured without the benzoat of soda,
could be left unstopped for VS. with
out changing it's condition.
Several tests. made with tn unstop-
ped bottles of catsup sitting in water
kept at blood heat, as hard :. test as
could be applied, developed hat the
catsup, without soda would semain in
good condition from seven to thirty
days.
The department. will allow the use
of the benzoate this season; that is,
tomatoes and catsup which contain it
will not be seized nor the manufactur-
ers prosecuted. But none must be
used next year.
