AIcofueI From the Cactus.

Industrial or denatured alcohol is a
name applied to untaxed ethyl alco-
hol, obtained by the fermentation OF
starch, sugar and other fermentable
carbohydrate matter of plants; to
which has been added some substance,
often methyl (wood) alcohol that will
render it unfit for use as a beverage
without affecting its value for use in
the arts.

4 practicaI Disarmament Pronosal.

Great Britain has taken very practi-
cal step toward the limitation of her
naval armament by reducing her naval
and military expenditure and by making
the construction of one Of her three pro-
posed new Dreadnoughts contingent upon
the action Of the approaching Hague con
ference with reference TO the question Of
This question, regarded by
many as purely academic. and as involv-
ing merely visionary international action
has thus taken on a new aspect, which
removes its solution from the realms Of
the improbable and impossible to those
of the actual and the attainable The
British delegates TO the conference will
be able if the topic OF disarmament be
included in its programme, to submit 10
that body a definite and feasible PROPOSE
ton that ought to command attention.
even should it fail to gain the assent Of
the delegates from the other powers. At
all events, the discussion of the subject
of disarmament should be less theoretical
than it was at the former conference, and
we may reasonably hope for some result
less vague than a pious profession Of
faith.
The British government may now be
considered as committed, both in theory
and in practice, TO the principle of limita-
ton Of ornaments. Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, the Liberal prime minister.
has written a notable defense of the gov
ernment's position. in which he takes the
ground that nothing has occurred since
the date Of the last Hague conference to
render inoppOTtune the reduction Of anna
ments. which was then recognized as de-
sirable. He contends that tn points OF
lsagreement between the powers have
become less acute and are confined to a
smaller field. while the sentiment in favor
of peace is inoomparably stronger and
more constant Sir Henry declares the
suspicion entertained in 1898 that no limit
could be set 70 the struggle for sea
power save the process of economic ex-
haustion has now become something like
"a certainty. The economic burden of in
creasing ornaments was set forth in the
rescript OF the Car convOking The Hague
conference as one of the principal reasons
for q reduction of military and naval
burdens; but this view was resented by
Gen. Won Schwarzhoff. one Of the German
delegates, who asserted that Germany
was not crushed under the weight of
charges and taxes and was not approach
ing exhaustion and ruin on account of
her military and naval expenditures.
This patriotic declaration was echoed by

OLD STATUTE INVOKED.
Hartman Investigation Not Con-
Quoted Under New Law.

From the New YORK World
President Roosevelt and the Interstate
Commerce Commission deserve unquali-
fed praise for the Hartman investiga-
tion-Mr Roosevelt for ordering ii and
the commission for making so searching
an inquiry into ar. HarTimans methods
Of exploitation. The beneficial results
of this piuless publicity will be felt for
years 10 come.
But IL may be worth while TO remark
that this fruitful investigation of the
Hartman system Of frenzied finance was
not made under the so-called railroad
rate law Of June p. 1876. but under the
amendments OF March 2. 1SS9 and Feb
ruaTy Is, 1891, to section y of the original
interstate commerce Law.
During all the years that Mr.. Hartman
was thimblerigging the stock market this
Law was I'm force. It was in existence
when he acquired control OF the Union
Pacific, when he bought the Southern
Pacific, when he began the oregon Short
Line manipulations, and when he juggled
the Alton. II covers his entire career as
Ia Napoleon and the commission at
any time could have compelled him to
throw open the books and show what he
had been doing.
The World has repeatedly expressed the
opinion that Mr.. RoOsevelt's best work
for the country was not in tanning new
bills down the throat of Congress. but in
fearlessly invoking laws already on the
statute books. The Hartman investiga-
ton is another object lesson.
