BEGINS fight
Against the Confirmation Of
Crum as Port Collector.
TILLMAN The LEADER
And He Hopes to Prevent the Con-
firrnation of Crum by the Senate
and Force President-Elect aft to
Select Some One Else in His

Stead.
Washington, Feb. 2.-The Senate
spent all of lis afternoon in ex-
executive session, and if the accounts
that have leaked out are correct,
Senator Tillman will probably give
the Republican members cf that
body much trouble over the confr-
nation of W. D. Crum, as collector
for the port of Charleston, before
the present session ends
According to what is said, the ses-
sion was devoted not alone to the
question Of negroes, but also to
Chinese and japanese.
Senators Bacon and McLaurin as
sisted Senator Tillman by discussing
at length the present day question
of the treatment Of Japanese in Cali
fornia, and this led into still fur
ther discussion of the Chinese, all
of which was brought out to help IN
the "fllibuster" that Senator Till
man has inaugurated against Crum
With the help Of the two Senators
named he was able to at least keel
the matter down today, and it is
| understood that from this time on
he will be assisted by practically al
the Democrats in the Senate. AL
| though he was called down by the
application of the Senate rules, he
was able to beat off Senator Frye
and others who are sclamoring fol
Crum's confirmation. The Ditchfori
was brandished considerably, it il
said, and after several hours spen
in an unsuccessful attempt to pu
Crum through, the executive ses
sion came to an end with Senate
Tillman so far the victor.

and that if Senator Tilman does no
oyerdo himself in the attempt t
hold of Crum's nomination, b
will eventually be usccessful.
Tcday's developments have give;
hone to those who have been fol
lowing the case that the matter vii
go over, and that the efforts now be
z ing made to force Crum on the peo
ple CT Charleston for another teri

welt administration.
Executive sessions are secret, an

deliberations generally decline to tel
what takes place, but those who wer

at the Pumps.

arrest of William Allen, mate of
the waterlogged schooner ]. 5.

mate to force four negroe sailors
to remain at the pumps by the use
of a revolver. Allen, who was de-
tanned last night on a charge OF
stealing a revolver from one of the
sailors, who quit the ship, told of the
mutiny in explaining that it was

MnLLERs CAN'T BLEACH FLOUR.
Hereafter We VIII Have No More
White Bread.

By a ruling OF: Secretary James
Wilson, of the National Department
of Agriculture, which S.snt into ef-
feet on Tuesday, white bread is
abolished in the United States OF
America. Beginning on Tuesday the
millers all over the country must
stop bleaching -four. But the bleach
ed flour still in stock may lawfully
be disposed of until June 9.
There viii be as much difference
between bread made from unbleach-
ed -four and the present bteached
dourbread as there is between angel
cake and sponge cake. The -four:
will be of creamy color instead OF
clear white, and the. bread will be
light golden in color. But there Will
be no difference. in favor.
Evidence taken at the bleaching
hearings brought out the fact that
the wheat grown in the northwest
makes flour almost as white as the
bleached product. The first run OF
the mill, likewise, is whiter than
the later run. On the other hand,
the, wheat grown in the latitude OF
St. Louis and the more Southern
States makes a yellow flour. :
Likewise it was brought out that
the -four made from the durum, or
so-called macaroni wheat, requires
bleaching before it is mixed with
the ordinary variety As. the duruM
wheat is about 20 cents cheaper q
bushel, it is clear why the millers
like to bleach and mix this pro-
duct.
The millers will continue bleach
i ing -four intended for the export
trade. Foreigners are accustomed
to the nice white appearance Of the
bleached -four and will demand It.
There has been protest in England
against American -four, the COM
plant being that. inferior grades OF
wheat and even whole wheat were
being worked into -four that, by the
bleaching process, was made to ap-
pear as Of highest grade.
It has been calculated that wheat
-four bread and crackers, pastry and
similar products constitute 10 pei
] cent of the total food Of the aver
age American family. Digestion ex-
perii1ents with healthy men have
shown that the fine -four bread is
more ligestible than the breads
male from the whole grain.

Cure for Chicken Cholera.

A little flock of chickens. for near

health At night, but the next morning
nearly fifth of the flock lay dead.
While these were being properly in
TERED. sixth Of the remaining
fowls followed their sisters. and the
heart of the owner grew very heavy.
Just at this time, says the Farm
Journal a neighbor came to the res
cue, talked learned!y OF cholera and
prescribed Venetian Red mixed with
their food. The remedy was procur-
ed and mixed not only with their
food but scattered in the drinking
vessels; and now after TWO weeks,
there have been no more deaths.

HITS Them HARD
TRUSTS CANNOT COLLECT DEBTS
THROUGH COURTS.
United States Supreme Court Up
holds Jobber's Contention Against
Continental Wall Paper Company.

Continental Wall Paper Company.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The case of
the Continental Wall Paper Com
pany VS.. Lewis Voight & Sons of
Cincinnati was today decided by the
supreme court of the United States
in Voight's favor. The suit was
brought: by the company On debt
of $4,000, the payment of which
was resisted on the ground that the
paper company is trust. In effect
the decision holds that an admitted
trust, organized contrary to the
Sherman antitrust law, can not use
the court to collect debts.
1t was represented that Voight
had bought over 100000 worth
Of paper, on which he had paid so
per cent more than he would have
had to pay if there had been COM
petition. It was also set out that
the Continental Company had been
| organized to conduct the business of
the various wall paper factories Of
the United States and that Voight as
a jobber in its products, had been
compelled to sign strict agreement
on the threat that if he did not do
so no paper would be sold to him
and that it would be made impos-
sible for him to continue in busi-
ness.
In a demurrer the company admit
ted that it was trust and sill con-
tended that it could properly collect
debts due it. On this showing the
company's petition was dismissed by
the trial court and its decision wa:
affirmed by the United States circuit
court of appeals for the Sixth circuit
Today's opinion was by Justice Har
Ian, and sustained the decision o.
of the lower courts. Justice Brewer
White, Peckham and Holmes dis
sented.
Justice Harlan's opinion was o
considerable length and dealt in de
) tail with the various phases Of th
; case. It was based on the thir'
defense of Voight, that the compan,
is part of a trust He started ou
with the proposition that the Con
tinental Company is within the pro
hibition of the Sherman act, which
he said, is clear from the facts Sc
forth in it's defense. He then wen
} on to show that this corporatio,
: is the representative Of combinatio'
which would have the effect not on
! ly of restraining, but of monopo
: lizing the sale and manufacture 0
paper.
