fed laborers in the New York Gus
toms house, the files of the civil serv-
ice commission show, were put TO
work as sugar samplers between the
wears of 1899 and 1902, in contraven-

Henry C. Corsa, an unclassified labor

August %, 1902, the civil service

Chicago, Nov. 19-Speaker Cannon
last evening defended the house rules,
and denied that the speaker is car,
in a speech made in behalf of Moxley,
republican candidate for congressman
to succeed Senator Lorimer.
Cannon's text was the 1oIlowing
from a speech of DR.. Barnes, indie

that an active majority was an eXceI-

Washington Nov 19.-The resent

sioners against what they term the
wish of the interstate commerce COM
mission to hog all supervision over
railroads, reached climax In the
convention of the national association
of railway commissioners yesterday
when the convention was asked to ap-
prove the Esch bill of the last con-

mission to investigate all accidents
on railroads engaged in interstate
commerce. The convention finally ap-
nroved the bill under the condition
that it be so amended as to specify
that it shall in no way interfere WIN
the rights of the states.
The recommendation that the Essen
bill be approved was no sooner READ
than Commissioner Smith of South
Dakota objected that it would inter
fere with the right of the states to
investigate. Secretary Moseley OF the
interstate commission said he was
amazed to hear such a statement.

Will SON AFTER
BLEACHED FLOUR
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
TAKES DRASTIC MEASURES
AGAINST MiLLERS.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 19.-Open
defiance Of millers of bleached flour
to heed the governments warning to
cease the manufacture of that article
of food. on pain of its being seized,
has led Secretary of Agriculture Viii
son to issue an order to inspectors
of the department to seize all of the
bleached flour in the country and IN
formation has been received here
that as result of that action four
teen consignments of bleached flour,
comprising several hundred carloads.
were seized in the west. Further seiz
ures were expected yesterday.
1t is supposed here that about
81 100000 worth of bleached flour was
manufactured during the past year
and that most of what is remaining
of it is now believed to be in the
east, especially in and about New
York, where further seizures are
| looked for.
About year ago the department OF
agriculture, following an investigation
and experiments, decided that bleache6
| flour is injurious to health. Ther
| the secretary issued an order to pre-
vent the manufacture of such flour
but for various reasons the m1ilers
were allowed six months to dispose OF
their stock Some of them obeyeo
the orders, but others, it is said, con
tinued their operations, with the re
suit that Secretary Wilson decided
vigorous measures should be taken.
