From that point the Hear proceeded to East Capo Village, Siberia and thoiico to St. Lawrence bay and Port Clarence.

Another rcauou for tho delay doubtless is the anxiety of tho Chiueso authorities to procure tho evacuation of tho capital.

Report That r.tlitrni'n of Thrlr Harm fiilnrp la Ovtit-M lioliiilue- The conimitteo on manufactures ol tho senato wore some time ago directed' to Investigate tho food adulterations, and accumulated a volume of testimony upon thu subject from thu best inform ed parties and highest ficientillc author ities iu the country. One of tho greatest sources of dnugcr to our foods, thu conimitteo statu hi their report, exists in alum baking powders. The conimitteo found the testimony, they say, overwhelmingly condemnatory of the uso of alum iu baking powdors, audrecniiimouded that such use bo prohibited by law. Senator .Mason, discussing in the .sou ate tho report of the conimitteo and tin sovoral hills Introduced to carry the iccommcnilatluus of the committee In to effect, said: "When wo innilo this report we made It based on tho evidence before us, aud tho evidonco is simply overwhelming. 1 do not euro how big a lobby thore may ho hero for the alum baking pow der, 1 do not cure how many memorials they publish, there is no place in the human economy of human food for this thing called alum. Thu overwhelming evidence of the loading physician:) and scientists of this country is that it is absolutely unlit to go into human food, and that in many cases if tho gentle man will lead the evidonco, hoiiio of tho physlclaus say they can traco cases in their own practice theiu aiu dis eases of the kidney duo to thu perpetual use of alum iu their dally bread, "When you mix a mineral poison, as thoy all say that alum is, it is impossi ble to mix it always to such a degree that there will nut be a residuum loft of alum, which pioducos alumina, and which contributes largely to tho diseaiui of the people iu this country.
