Large Amount of the Stolen Bullion Is Fished Up From Deep Mud of the Bay—Detalls of the Robbery. A San Francisco dispatch says: Jack Winters who was arrested as a suspect in connection with the Selby smelting works robbery, has confessed and so far $130,000 worth of bullion has been recovered from the bay where he had sunk it. For three days the detectives tried all sorts of persuasions to make Winters confess, but apparently without effect. Finally Winters asked to see Superintendent Ropp, of the Selby works who, he said, was the only friend he had. In his conversation with Ropp, Winters indicated that he knew where the gold had been hidden. Ropp told Winters that they had a strong case against him and that he would be sent to prison for thirty years. Winters finally weakened and told Ropp that he had taken the gold and would take him to the spot where it was hidden. Winters, in company with Superintendent Ropp and a force of detectives, left on a tug Friday night for Crockett. They waited there all night for low tide. Winters pointed out the place at the end of the railroad behind the coal bunkers at the head of the Vallejo ferry slip. At that point at low tide the mud is about four feet deep, covered by a foot of water. Saturday morning Winters got in the mud and water up to his neck and for an hour and a half groped for the missing bullion. Up to 10 o'clock $130,000 worth had been recovered. This included the four bars of fine gold. The deep mud finally put a stop to operations and it was decided to build a cofferdam before trying to recover the rest of the treasure. Winters had put some of the bars in bags. He said one of the bags had broken and some small bars had dropped out. It is now only a question of careful search to find the rest of the $250,000. Winters claims he did the job all alone. He says he made fourteen trips from the vault to the wharf from which he dropped the gold. Winters told the officers that he planned the robbery long ago with minute detail. He had been two or three months working on his little tunnel. It had taken two nights' labor to cut through the brick wall of the smelter. Most of the boring in the bottom of the vault had ben done in the night when the gold was taken. He carried the plunder, which was very heavy, from the vault to the water and deposited it. The distance from the vault to the cache was about a quarter of a mile and he made fourteen round trips. Winters on his last trip had perceived that dawn was breaking. Not daring to complete the trip, he laid on the shore the two bricks which were found Tuesday morning at the point where the robbers' boat was supposed to have landed. The trail of red pepper ending at that point had been a blind. In view of the fact that promises of clemency were made to Winters in consideration of his' unearthing the gold, it is thought that his punishment will be light. Detective Gibson is quoted as saying that it was promised Winters by President Ralston, of the Selby Smelting Works, that he should not only not be prosecuted, but should receive $25,000. "Winters cannot be prosecuted," said Detective Gibson, "for there is no evidence against him. All that has been drawn from him was secured by detectives under promise that it would not be used against him. Under such circumstances it would be extremely difficult to secure a conviction." VOTE TO CUT WAGES. Fall River Manufacturers Will Reduce Pay Rolls After September 3d. Monday afternoon the Fall River, Mass., cotton manufacturers at a meeting for the purpose of discussing the question of wage reduction unanimously voted to reduce wages to a basis of 17 cents for weaving, the reduction to go into effect September 3. This is about a 14 per cent cut, the present price of weaving being 19.3 cents. An agreement will be drawn up for the signatures and will be passed by the executive committee of the association. INVADERS MENACE VENEZUELA. Colombians Bent On Precipitating Bloody Conflict—Uncle Sam Is Watching. The Venezuelan government announces that a new Colomblan invasion occurred Thursday near Colon. The invading force is commanded by the Colombian minister of war. The situation in Colombia and Venezuela continued to occupy much of the attention of officials at Washington Friday, and while it was not felt that affairs had reached a serious aspect, yet it was appreciated that both the official and unofficial advices indicated a condition of affairs which might mean war between Colombia and Venezuela, complicated by revolutionary outbreaks in both countries. During the day the state department received a rather lengthy mail communication from Consul General Gudger, at Panama, and though this was dated nearly a month ago, it told of the landing of a revolutionary expedition and expressed the current belief held at Panama that this would be followed by other expeditions. The department also received a letter from M. J. Edward Simmons, of New York, president of the Panama railroad, confirming his communication of Thursday relative to the trouble on the isthmus, and stating that the superintendent of the road advised him as to the depredations of an insurgent band, which did not number, however, over 50 men. The more serious aspect of the matter was presented in a press dispatch from Willemstadt, Island of Curacao, stating that the Colombians had again invaded Venezuela. There was no official confirmation as to this, but if it proves correct, there seems little chance of avoiding an open conflict between these two countries, as such an invasion by Colombia would in itself be an act of war. But the United States authorities prefer to take a conservative view of the situation until the official advises are in hand. When inquiry was made as to why our officials at Bogota and elsewhere did not send full information on the subject, it was stated that these officials were not there to communicate news, but only to advise this government as a preliminary to any which becomes necessary. At the navy department no further stops were taken toward sending ships to the isthmus. Mr. Herran, the first secretary of Colombian legation, who is now in charge during Mr. Silva's absence, points out that Colombia has a population of 5,000,000 against 3,000,000 of Venezuela, and an army of about 40,000 men, who have been for the most part in active service against revolutionary bands for the last year. He expressed his earnest hope that a condition of actual war would not result from the present troubles, but beloowed his country to be fully able to take care of herself in that emergency. If traffic on the isthmus should be stopped it probably would bring about an inquiry by the United States government to the government of Colombia as to the ability of the latter to cope with the situation, for the primary duty is on Colombia and only when she fails will the United States step in. When a similar trouble arose in 1885 the United States did not act until the Colombian government requested action, making it plain that the trouble had got beyond the power of its authorities. Passed in Alabama Convention and Is Now Part of Constitution. After a lengthy controversy the section of an article passed Thursday giving women the right of suffrage was reconsidered in the Alabama convention Friday by a vote of 87 to 2. The committee on engrossment reported that the suffrage article had been engrossed and was ready for final passage. The article was then read for the third time and adopted by a vote of 92 to 19. This finally disposed of the article and it now becomes a part of the constitution. Five thousand copies of the engrossed article was ordered printed and distributed. TOBACCO TRUST MORTGAGED. Consolidated Weed Manufacturer "Soak" Assets For $150,000,000. There was filed in the Hudson county court in Jersey City Tuesday a mortgage for $150,000,000 made by the Consolidated Tobacco Company of America to the Morton Trust Company to secure an issue of 4 per cent bonds not to exceed $150,000,000. It is dated June 15 and bore revenue stamps to the amount of $75,000. The papers show that the Consolidated Tobacco Company has absorbed the American Tobacco and the Continental Tobacco and subsidiary concerns. "FEW SLAVES WORK" Shaffer's Statement at Close of First Day's Bitter Struggle. TRUST CLAIMS SLIGHT VICTORY At Some Points Strike Order Was Not Obeyed—Number of Men Out So Far Is About Sixty Thousand. A Pittsburg special says: The struggle for mastery between manufacturers and men in the steel industry is now fairly launched. The first day of the contest showed a slight advantage for the manufacturers. President Shaffer's general strike order was not obeyed at all points, the union men at Chicago, Jollet and Bay View refusing to go out. There are about 60,000 men out all told. The strike leaders, however, claim that they have some surprise in store for the trust. At McKeesport Mayor Black was called on to prevent strikers interfering with non-union workmen, but he said he would act only in case of actual assault. The strike loaders have issued an appeal to organized labor for financial assistance, stating that the life of unionism is at stake. The general strike order issued by President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated association, has so far been obeyed by only about 14,000 men, according to the best figures obtainable. The first two preliminary calls were answered by about 45,000 men, so that the total number now out is in the neighborhood of 60,000. List of Idle Plants. From the most reliable figures obtainable Monday night the following table shows the strikers and those likely to be idle: National Steel—Newcastle, 2,000; Mingo Junction works, 1,500. Total, 3,500.

At Baltimore Monday morning a jealous husband surprised his wife and the man he suspected together on the street and killed them without warning. Joseph I. Adams, the husband, has long suspected his wife of intimacy with Charles Houck, the other victim, and Monday morning shadowed them through Druld Hill park. He overtook them on the bridge leading into the park at Cedar avenue, and creeping up behind them, began to shoot. Two shots struck Houck, who fell dead. Turning his pistol upon the terrified woman, Adams fired three times, each shot taking effect. She fell dead across Houck's body and Adams ran. An hour later he gave himself up to a policeman in a distant part of the city, to whom he told the story of his crime, for which he expressed nothing but gratification. LIGHTNING'S DEADLY WORK.

Four children of the Russell family, who were occupants of the house, were also shocked, remaining unconscious several hours. TILLMAN SUED FOR SLANDER. Senator Alluded to J. Young Jones are Being Deficient in Sanity. A Columbia, S. C. dispatch says: J. Young Jones has filed suit against Senator Tillman for $10,000 damage for slander. The alleged slander was uttered months ago, but Jones' action seems to have been hurried by the report that Senator Tillman had money to plunge in Beaumont oil. The complainant is well connected, a brother of an important state official. Tillman, in a speech some months ago, alluded to him as "a crazy old thing, just out of the nyllum," or words to that effect.

BANDITS ARE BAGGED GOT LITTLE FOR THE TROUBLE Express Car Wrecked By Dynamite, Mail Pouches Rifled and Every Passenger Was Robbed. The southbound Missouri, Kansas and Texas train, No. 3, due at Fort Worth, Texas, at 6:30 a. m., was robbed at Caney switch, Indian Territory, at 1:05 o'clock Tuesday morning by five masked men. The express car was blown open, the safe wrecked and the mail sacks rifled. All the passengers were robbed of their money. Caney, the place where the robbery occurred, is a sidetrack 39 miles north of Denison. It is in the Choctaw nation of the Indian Territory and the population surrounding the station is only 125. The train does not stop at Caney except on signal, and the proper signal was given. The engineer and firemen were confronted by two men with faces veiled with black netting. About the same time the express messenger and the mail clerk were communicated with through the closed doors of their car. Three of the robbers shot wildly and the call went to the messenger and clerk: "Open up here, open up, and don't be too slow about it." From within came no response. The two men could not be seen. When there was no reply from within the robbers again caled out: "Open the door or we will blow it open and blow you to hell." There was no response to the second call and the firing again began. Still there was no response to the firing and the robbers resorted to dynamite. This did the work. It tore the side off the car. The robbers leaped through the opening and the frightened messenger had nothing to do but accept their orders. He was overpowered and narrowly escaped being torn into shreds, as was his car. He was ordered to open the safe, but could not, as the combination was at the end of the run. The robbers then put a charge of dynamite to the safe and blew it open. They demolished the safe, but got only $150, as the money had all been left at Muskogee to be picked up by the "Katy Flyer," which runs through the territory by day. Every Passenger Robbed. The messenger and clerk, were forced to asslist the bandits in their work. Every mail pouch was emptied and the mail considered valuable by them was taken. Then with Postal Clerk Tulley holding an empty mail sack, the robbers went through the coaches and robbed every passenger. After the work was done the robbers, who seeme to enjoy the situation, sat around and laughed over the matter and one even went back into a car to get something. After holding the train two hours the robbers left, going east into the dense bottom timber for which Caney creek is noted. The trainment cut out the wrecked express car and ran down to Caney Station and advised officers up and down the road. Within two hours posses of United States marshals with bloodhounds were on the trail. Five Men Arrested For Robbery. J. B. Davis, deputy marshal at Colbert, I. T., arrived at Denison Tuesday night from the scene of the robbery at Caney. "The following men have been arrested on the charge of committing the robbery," sald Mr. Davis: "E. C. Richmond, Bob Alford, George Brown, John Gibson, Tom Edwards and Jack Barr. These men were arrested at Caney and taken to Atoka this morning. The operator at Caney, when he heard the shooting, suspected the train was being up and put out the light in the depot and telegraphed to Atoka, eleven miles away, for officers. Within two hours after the robbery was committed bloodhounds had trailed these men to their homes. We found the wet clothing identified by passengers as that worn by the robbers. We found three masks the men wore and found in the firebox of the cook stove when the arrests were made the shoes of the men arrested. The tracks were measured and fitted the shoes exactly." Tuesday afternoon the men were given a hearing in Commissioner Ball's court at Atoka and their bonds were fixed at $5,000 in each case. - They could not give the bond and were remanded to jail. There were two men connected with the robbery who rode away on horseback and these have not been caught. NO 45. COLOMBIAN LEGATION QUITS. Latest Developments Indicate That Venezuelans and Their Neighbors Will Measure Prowess. According to a special from Willemstad, Curaco, the Colombian legation left Caracas Monday. A Washington dispatch says: The state department has authorized the American charge d'affaires at Caracas, Venezuela, to use his good offices for Colombia, in case the Colombian minister at the Venezuelan capital leaves that country. Mr. Russell telegraphed last week seeking instructions as to his course of action in case of the withdrawal of the Colombia minister, which apparently was in contemplation at that time. He did not, however, indicate that this withdrawal was preliminary to any rupture between the two republics, but simply asked if he would be authorized to act temporarily in looking after Colombia's interests in case of the withdrawal of the minister. As it is the universal custom to act in this manner, when the request was made, Mr. Russell was authorized to use his good offices for Colombia in case this was agreeable to the Venezuelan government. There have been no additional developments as to the situation on the Isthmus of Panama, where the trouble is far removed from that along the Venezuelan border. Consul General Gudger's course in looking after the interests of the Chinese along the Isthmus is not in pursuit of any specific instructions from Washington, but follows procedure established some twelve years ago, in connection with points at which the Chinese were entirely without official representation. The navy department has now definitely determined to make use of the battlefield Iowa, instead of the Wisconsin, for service on the Pacific side of this isthmus, in case affairs become serious there. SOUTHERN PROGRESS. The New Industries Reported In the South During the Past Week. MINT CLERK IS ACCUSED.

A large number of strangers were in the city arriving on Tuesday night and the others on Wednesday morning. The Maceo Guards from Augusta, commanded by Capt. L. E Moseley, and the Lincoln Guards of Macon, commanded by Capt. S. A. Lockhart were the visiting companies and were cared for by the Savannah Light Infantry and the Chatham Light Infantry. The Carolina Light Infantry from Charleston was expected, but did come. Capt. Pinckney of Co. A. was prepared to give them an enjoyable time. Capt.

On arrival of the companies they were refreshed at the armorics of Cos. D, and C. The Battalion was formed at 10:30 on East Liberty, street and marched through some of the principal streets to the park extension, where a rest of a few minutes was had after which the marched was resumed to the corner of West Broad and Margaret streets where the cars were taken for Lincoln Park. The car service was very poor. 'The management promised to have a sufficient number of cars to transport the hundreds of people and the military in waiting, but failed to do so. 'The service during the remainder of the day was very little better. In fact the street car people has paid no attention to the park. The superintendent promised to make certain changes for admission to the park, but he failed to do so, putting the committee to great inconvenience and trouble in handling the large number of people. By night the park was crowded with people, the largest that was ever out there at any one time, beating last year by over two hundred persons. Considering the large crowd, the best order prevailed. Capt. Pinckney was officer of the day, and he had men stationed in various parts of the park. The two visiting companies were well cared for at the park; well laden tables were feasted from. People continued coming to the park until the last car, and it was fully one o'clock before the last car reached the city. The Macco Guards left same night for Augusta. The Lincoln Guards remained until Thursday night. In the afternoon a pleasant trip was had to old ocean, accompanied by the Guards and other friends.

Lord Kitchener Promulgates the Latest Edict of Britons. Claim Is Made That a Great Majority of the Burghers Are-Willing to Stop the Uuequal Struggle. A London special says: A parilla mentary paper has been issued containing the proclamation issued by Lord Kitchener August 7 in accordance with instructions from the imperial government, the governments of Cape Colony and Natal concurring. The proclamation says: "All commandants, field cornets and leaders of armed bands, being burghers of the late republic and still engaged in resisting his majesty's forces, whether in the Orange Colony, the Transvaal or other portions of his majesty's South African dominions, and all members of the governments of the late Orange Free State and Transvaal shall, unless they surrender before September 15, be permanently banished from south Africa. "The cost of the maintenance of the families of all burghers in the field who have not surrendered by September 15 shall be recoverable from such burghers and shall be a charge upon their property, removable and immovable in the two colonies." The preliminary correspondence shows that the proclamation is based upon suggestions which the government of Natal forwarded to Colonial Secretary Chamberlain July 24, and that the date September 15 was recommended by Lord Milner. The reasons of the government for the proclamation are set forth in a preamble to the proclamation as follows: Whereas, The late Orange Free State and south African republic have been annexed to his majesty's dominions; and Whereas, His majesty's forces, are and have been for some considerable time in complete possession of the seats of government of both the aforesaid territories, with their public offices and the whole machinery of administration, as well as of all the principal towns and the whole of the railways; and, Whereas, a great majority of the burgers of the two late republics, to the exclusion of those who have fallen in the war, are now either prisoners or have submitted to his majesty's government and are living peaceably in towns and camps under control of his majesty's forces; and "Whereas, The burghers of the late republics still in arms are not only few in number, but have lost almost all their guns and munitions of war and are devoid of regular military organization and are, therefore, unable to carry on regular warfare or to offer any organized resistance to his majesty's forces in any part of the country; and "Whereas, Those burghers who are still in arms, though unable to carry on regular warfare, continue to make isolated attacks upon small posts and detachments of his majesty's forces, to plunder or destroy property and to damage railway and telegraph lines; and "Whereas, the country is thus kept in a state of disturbance, checking the resumption of agricultural and industrial pursuits; and "Whereas, His majesty's government is determined to put an end to a state of things which is aimlessly prolonging bloodshed and destruction and inflicting ruin upon a great majority of the inhabitants, 'who are anxious to live in peace and earn a livelihood for themselves and their families; and "Whereas, It is just to proceed against the still resisting, and especially against those persons who, being in a position of authority, are responsible for the continuance of the present state of lawlessness and are instigating their fellow burghers to continue their hopeless resistance to his majesty's government." PHYSICIAN ASSASSINATED. Tragedy at Rising Fawn, Ga., Sequel of Long-Standing Grudge. Dr. Asa T. Fricks, a prominent physician of Rising Fawn, Ga., was killed Saturday morning by Gill Johnson, a former citizen of Rising Fawn, but for some months past a workman at the Durham mines. There has been bad feeling between the men for a year or more. Johnson made his escape to-Look-out mountain, with the sheriff and a large posse of men in pursuit. Johnson is a man of large family, so was Dr. Fricks. Nation's "Worse" Half Finally Tires of Conjugal Relations. Hosts of Steel Workers Promptly Obey Orders of Shaffer—Trust Officials. Remain Confident. The general order of President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated association, inaugurating the great steel strike, became effective Saturday, and thousands of workers left their places to return at some indefinite time in the future, either victorious over the iron masters or in humble defeat. The order to strike was generally obeyed wherever the workers were organized and enrolled in the lodges of the Amalgamated association. The policy of the American Federation of Labor has not yet been fully disclosed and that fact contributes another element of uncertainty to the situation. The action of the executive board of the mine workers at Indianapolis Saturday in resolving to support the strike cheered the Amalgamated men and they are confident that the Federation will aid them to the fullest extent. The closing hours of labor and the opening hours of the strike lacked spectacular action. Pittsburg, Pa., which is the strike center, was calm and undisturbed. There was no excitement or violence and the pulse of the community was normal. The police officials issued an order suspending for the time being the vacation system. They do not anticipate trouble, but want to have every man on hand ready for duty in case it should come. They say that President Shaffer has counseled peaceful methods and they hope the strikers and their sympathizers will heed his advice. Trust Officials -Confident. A special from Pittsburgh of Sunday night stated that the iron masters are clamming victory in the great steel strike. They base their claims upon the refusal of the Amalgamated men at South Chicago, Jollet and Bay View to obey the general order of President Shaffer, and their success in maintaining operations in other plants where it was anticipated there would be serious trouble. The strike leaders meet the claims of victory with the assertion that their cause is making satisfactory progress, and that they will show themselves masters of the situation before the contest has progressed much further. They do not conceal their disappointment at the refusal of their western brethren to join with them in the strike, but none of the leaders would discuss the defection. President Shaffer refused to meet the newspaper men who sought him Sunday and kept within the seclusion of his home. The other leaders who were seen intimated that there would be developments throughout the week that would materially change the situation. They would not say, however, what they had in mind, or how their cause was to gain strength. It was said they were counting upon strong aid from the American Federation of Labor and other organizations of union labor, though those bodies have not yet given any public indications of what they will do. SIGNOR CRISPI NO MORE. Italian Statesman Breathes His Laet In City of Naples. Signor Crispi, leading Italian statesman, died in Naples Sunday evening.

It is rumored that Signor Crispi's will authorizes a prominent Italian politician to examine his papers and to publish his memoirs. GOLD BRICK DISAPPEARS. Treasure Shipped to San Francisco Falls to Arrive on Time. A telegram received by Captain James Carroll, of Seattle from the Apollo Mining Company, of San Francisco, states that a gold brick, valued at $20,000, which was shipped from Unga, Alaska, via the steamer Newport about July 20th, has not arrived in that city. The treasure should have reached San Francisco several days ago. HIDDEN TREASURE UNEARTHED. Four. Men Secure Large Amount of Spanish Gold Buried By Outlaw.

There is another sum of over fifty thousand dollars buried in Succarnoochee swamp. FOUR FOUND WATERY GRAVE. Family Attempted to Cross Stream and Encountered a Cloudburst. Assistant, Postmaster John G. Pole and his family, while attempting to cross a mountain stream near Lexington, Va., were swept down by the waters of a cloudburst Sunday afternoon, and his wife and three daughters, aged from 1 to 8 years, drowned. Mr. Pole and a daughter about 3 years old escaped. The bodies were recovered. With Solemn Pump and Simple Ceremony Remains are Deposited Beside Those of Her Husband. The remains of the Dowager Empress Frederick, of Germany, were interred Tuesday beside those of her husband in the mausoleum of Friendenskirche, near Potsdam. The procession was made up of the military and high clerical dignitaries and was in every way grand and solemn. Over the head of the coffin were the imperial colors, on which was a crown of state of massive gold and heavily jeweled. Also on the colors was a wreath, deposited there by Emperor William at Cronberg, and two other wreaths. Behind the coffin marched the emperor, erect and displaying the greatest self-possession and dignity, but his face was pale and sorrowful and he gazed straight forward in a serious manner. King Edward, who was on the emperor's left, walked heavily and evidently found the march fatigueling. Both Emperor William and King Edward wore the uniform of the Second regiment of Dragoon Guards, Queen Victoria's regiment. The procession reached the mausoleum at 11:40. The proceedings there were most simple. The coffin was carried into the mausoleum followed by the emperor and empress, King Edward and Queen Alexandria, the royal prince and other members of the royal families, the rest of those present remaining outside during the last ceremonies. After the body had been lowered into the vault, the choir from the Berlin cathedral sang "Christ Is the Resurrection," by Grell. A prayer followed and the choir sang "Be Faithful Unto Death," by Neidhart. This was the only service. In the meanwhile the emperor stood beside the tomb in a solemn manner. There was no wcoping, but King Edward frequently used his handkerchief, for drops of perspiration were coursing down his brow. After the brief ceremony the royal party withdrew and the invited guests, military men, diplomats, statesmen, etc., filed in for the last basty view of the coffin. "WADDY" AND HIS SPOUSE. Case of Woman Teacher In Philippines Puzzling Washington Officials. > The division of insular affairs, war department, has had considerable telegraphic correspondence relating to the appointment of Mrs. Fannie Wadsworth, of Mellwood, Neb., as a teacher in the Philippines. She applied for the position as "Miss" Wadsworth and was selected. Then a dispatch was received saying she could not go because she had young children to look after. This was signed "George Wadsworth, her husband." Questioned by the department about the matter, she replied by wire that the children were her husband's by a former wife and she wished her appointment to stand. She went to a small town in Kansas, telegraphed for transportation, which was sent to her, and she sailed with other teachers for Manila. Letters were received from George Wadsworth asking that transportation be refused her, but upon investigation it was decided to send her transportation and let her decide the matter for herself. CHAMPION HORSE-WHIP WIELDER Montana 'Woman Chastises Three Men to Protect Husband's Business. At Great Falls, Mont., Tuesday three representatives of the Clerks' union were horsewhipped by Mrs. William Glass, the wife of the proprietor of a store there. The president of the Trades and Labor council later swore to a complaint charging Mrs. Glass with assaulting the men. It appears that the store conducted by Glass had been declared "unfair" by the Clerks' union for the reason that the 6 o'clock closing rule has not been observed. The men horsewhipped distributed circulars which asked the public not to patronize the place. ACCOMPLICE OF BRESCI. Anarchist, Under Arrest, Admits Help ing to Murder King Humbert. A dispatch to The Patrici (Paris) from Rome says the anarchist, Luigi Gianotti, who is charged in Milan with being an accomplice of Bresci in the assassination of King Humbert, has confessed to his complicity in the crime. He admits that he left Paterson, N. J., in company with Bresci. Gianotti started a street row at Monza the day of the murder in order to distract the attention of the police while Bresci attacked the king. ROBLEY GETS A CALL DOWN. Navy Department Acts on Complaint of the Hon. William Chandler. The navy department has acted upon the complaint made by the Hon. William E. Chandler against Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans. It has reprimanded the admiral and a letter to that effect has been addressed to him. The Chandler was also notified of the Interesting Facts Concerning the Roasting of Coffee Brought Out by Scientific Experts—Presence of Bacteria. TOLEDO, August 10th—The jury in Judge Meck's court in this city has found James White, a local grocer, guilty of selling adulterated coffee. The prosecution was based on a package of Arlosa coffee. The State of Ohio, through the Pure Food Commission, prosecuted White. The case was on trial for nearly a month, and attracted national attention. The manufacturers of Arlosia coffee conducted the defense for Grocer White. Attorneys of eminence were retained to defend him, but after a short consultation a verdict of guilty was returned by the jury. The State of Ohio considers this a big victory. Pure Food Commissioner Blackburn has been waging a warfare on spurious food articles and the department has been successful. The complaint of the State of Ohio was that Arlosia coffee was coated with a substance which concealed defects in the coffee and made it appear better than it is. The State charged this coating or glazing was a favorable medium for the preparation of bacteria. Prof. G. A. Kirchmaler, of this city, a well-known chemist, was the principal witness for the State. He testified that he had made scientific examinations of samples of Arlosia purchased from Grocer White in the open market, and found that each berry contained an average of 300 bacteria. Mr. Kirchmaler further testified that other coffees he examined contained few bacteria or none at all. He declared that the glazed coffee was not a wholesome food product. Chemist Schmidt, of Cincinnati, corroborated the testimony of Prof. Kirchmaler. The State did not present further testimony. The defense secured some of the most eminent chemists and scientists in the United States to give testimony in their behalf. Prof. H. W. Wiley, of the United States Agricultural Department; Prof. Vaughn, of Ann Arbor University; Profs. Bielle and Webber, of the Ohio State University, were called to defend Arlosa. Dr. Wiley made a careful examination of the method of manufacturing. He told of the 10,000,000 eggs used yearly in the preparation of this glazing. On this point, in cross-examination, the State's attorney deftly drew from him the information that these eggs might be kept in cold storage for a year or two at a time. The experts who heard Dr. Wiley's testimony were pleased to listen to so famous a chemist. The doctor at one point in his testimony, explained very clearly how it is that the egg put into the coffee pot by the housewife settles the coffee. He said that the heat coagulates the egg, and as it sinks to the bottom of the pot it carries the fine particles of coffee with it, and thus clarifies the drink. It is the act of coagulation in the coffee pot that does the work. Later on in his cross examination, he admitted that when the egg was put on Arlosa coffee at the factory it became coagulated, and as egg cannot be coagulated but once, that the coating on coffee was practically no value, as a "settler" when it reached the coffee pot. Professor Wiley acknowledged that the glazing might be a favorable medium for the propagation of bacteria, although he would not testify positively either way because he was not a bacteriologist. Professor Vaughn, of Ann Arbor, also a witness for the defense, said he found bacteria on Arlosa coffee. Professor Bielle, another witness for the defense, testified he found any number of lively bacteria on Arlosa coffee he examined, and agreed that glazed coffee surely was a more favorable medium for the propagation of bacteria than unglazed coffee. Pure Food Commissioner Blackburn says: "The State is very much elated over its victory. We are now considering the advisability of informing every grocer in the State of Ohio that it is an infraction of the laws to sell Arlosa, and at the same time give warning to consumers that the coffee is an adulterated food article." The verdict of the jury in this case is of national importance because a great many other States have pure food laws like that of Qhio, and it is natural to suppose that similar action will be taken by other Pure Food Commissioners to prevent the sale of glazed coffees.

Tyler, of Indianapolis, says that human life would average three or four times longer than it does if people would reject the senseless practice of cooking their food. Animals and fowl live much longer in proportion to the period of full development than man. "Man, for some unknown reason, eats dead cells (cooked cells) to replace the dead cells that have been separated from the body. In cooking food all the acids and gases so necessary for the conservation and preservation of ideal health, escape with the steam, and the food retains a greater supply of ash, lime and other such substances than nature requires for the amount of food taken into the system." Still More Counterfeiting. The Secret Service has unearthed another band of counterfeiters, and secured a large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person would never suspect them of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected for imitation, notably the blown-out blimch bills, which may imitate banknotes but for disorders like indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility.
