FLOUR TO BE SEIZED. D -partment of Agriculture Does Not Approvo of Bleaching. . Washington, Aug. 20. Tho requests of manufneturors of bloachcd flour that no further seizures of bleached flour bo mado until a tost caso should have Mcen decided, woro refused today, following a conference between Wndo. II. Ellis, nctlng attornoy-gencral, nnd Dr. II. F. Dunlnp, of tho pure food board of tho agricultural department. Tho food experts of the department some timo ago decided that bleached flour was in violation of tho pure-food laws, not so much on tho ground of im purity but because of alleged misbrnnd ing, nnd tho ngonts of tho department wero instructed to maKo seizures ot flour. Counsel for tho millers have boon suing to havo tho seizures discon tinucd until a test caso could bo do cided. Today it was determined that tho scizuro would bo continued without regard to a test case. ii is not known what ncrcentago of flour now consumed in the country is put through tho bleached methods. Two processes or bleaching, ono ay ciec tricity and the other n chemical pro coss. aro used nearly altogether. Tho largo millers of tno northwest stopped blenching flour on February 1 The hard wheat of tho northwest makes a white flour without bleaching, whilo tho softer wheat of tho middlo west does not produce such a white color when milled. Million Cigars From Philippines. Washington, Aug. 24. Ono thrifty Philippine commercial concern managed to get into tho United States 1,000,000 cigars and, it is thought, other tobacco products, in ndvnnco of certain rules nnd regulations wnich the war depart ment and tho treasury department wero propanng. The cigars nnd other stun nnveu on tho day the tariff went into effect. As the tariff allows importation free of duty of only 150,000,000 Philippinp cigars, tho proportion which nas already come in is regarded as large. Tho cigars aro understood to be of inferior grado, and it is said that the long sea voyago from Manila has a dotoriorcting effect upon them, but it is claimed now that some concerns have invented a method to offset this.

Walter Wollman 'a second attempt to sail over tho North Polo In a balloon" has resulted in a failure. Tho giant dirigible bal loon "America," in which Mr. Well man and his party of threo sot out, procooded nbout 32 miles from tho starting point, when disaster overtook it. After a long preparation and wait ing for favorablo weathor, tho oppor tunity camo today, nnd Mr. Wellman decided to make' tho start. It was 10 o'clock In tho morning when tho great airship was brought out of its shed and tho daring explorers took their places in the car. When tho anchors wero cast loose, tho airship ascended beautifully, the en glnes were sot in motion and everything seemed to work to perfection. Tno Dig air craft was manuvcred for some timo and answered tho helm perfectly. Thon its bead was tnrned northward. and it set out at a speed of 25 miles an hour. Suddonly, after having covered 32 miles, and when everything scemod to bo going splendidly, tho leather guide rope, to which was attached 1000 pounds of provisions and stores, broke away. Tho nccidont occurred just as tho airship was ncaring the pack ice of North Spitzenbcrgen. Released from this great weight, the airship shot upwards at a terrific pace, until it was a great height above tho clouds. Tho pilots succeeded, however, in bringing her down near tho earth, turning her about and sot out to fight their way southward against a strong wind. Tho airship proceeded slowly Bouth ward to tho edge of the pack ice, where tho steamer Fram was anchored. After much difficulty, a tow ropo was gotten aboard the Fram. which started imme diatcly to tow the airship to Spitzen- bergen. Tho strain was so great, nowever, that it threatened to tear the car to which tho rope was attached to pieccB, and Mr. Wellman finally decided to bring the airship down to the surface of tho water. This was effected with out mishap nnd tho car rested on tho surfaco of the water until all tno mem bers of tho crew, tho dogs and tho sci entitle instruments could be transferred aboard tho Fram The America was then towed back to the landing stage, and within a short distanco of where the start was made, But tho ill-luck of tho expedition was not yet at an end. Just as the airship had reached tho landing stage and ev erything looked favorable for its rescue without serious damage, a sudden gust of wind caught the big bag broadsido on, and snatched it away from its tow lines. It was carried careening over rough ice hummocks for some distance and then it exploded. All the scattered parts of tho airship wero subsequently recovered, out the damage was so great as to prcciuuo any lurtner attempt to fly over the polo this year. HENEY WILL ACCEPT.

WALL STREET IS DISAPPOINTED Financiers Wantod Him to Jump Into. Harness at Once, but Condi tion Will Not Permit. On Board 8. S. Kaiser Wilbelm II, Aug. 24. Tho condition of E. H. Har- riman has undergone no notable change. He still remains most of tho time in his private cabin owing to tho heavy fog which has prevailed throughout tho en tire trip. The present indications aro the steamer will be late in arriving, be cause of the delay occasioned by tho fog. Now York, Aug. 24. As tho Kaiser Wilholm II hourly draws nearer to her pier in New York, public interest in E. H. Harriman's return grows acute. Gen eral anxiety as to his health has found expression in a scries of published ap preciations of his personality and achievements such ns probably never before has been accorded a private citizen. There is manifest disappointment in Wall street that Mr. Harriman's so journ abroad has not sot him up suf ficiently that ho may resume at onco ac tive charge of tho great interests with which his name is asociated. Tomor row both the Southern Pacific and tho Union Pacific directors will meet, but it has not even been suggested that Mr. Harriman will try to attend these meet ings. Alexander Millar, secretary of tho Harriman lines, one of Mr. narrimans most trusted lieutenants, spoke of his chief today with seriousness ana warmth. "Mr. Harriman," said ho, "has been pictured as an ogre, a hugo spider, an octopus. You don't know what a big hearted, big-souled man ho really is. I call him today the biggest, the braini est, the mo3t patriotic American citizen we have. "If I should be asked to name tho chief characteristics that have contrib uted to his success, I should say, his wizardry with figures, his faculty for getting instantly into tho Kernel ot facts, his judgment of men and his in sight into and faith in the future. "He makes changes, but the very men shifted will tell you thoy do better work in tho new positions. "Liiko nil big men, he is not what you would call methodical. Ho jumps to conclusions by seeming intuition. JNo doubt the logical processes aro all thero ' for Mr. Harriman is no visionary but they elude analysis by their swiftness. "Does he play as hard as he workBf To tell you tho truth, I novor saw him play, except with his children. Hia chil dren and his work these are his life," MAKES THRILLING FLIGHT.
