Food Inspection Board Refuses Request
of Wholesale Grocers.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. Announce
ment was made today that the board
of food and drug inspection has refused
to recommend to the three cabinet of
ficers having a final say in the matter
an extension of another year, or until
Oct, 1, 1909, of the privilege of using
labels on food products that did not
contain a misstatement as to the char
acter of the contents, instead of labels
prescribed by the board under the terms
of the pure food and drug act.
Recently the Wholesale Grocer's As
sociation and individual wholesalers
and jobbers throughout the country, re-
qpested the board of food and drug in
spection to recommend the extension of
the privileges for another year, or until
Oct. 1, 1908.. The board announces that
in its opinion sufficient time has elap
sed for manufacturers, jobbers and
wholesalers to adjust their business af
fairs to the terms of the law and of
the regulations The general impression
seems to exist that the use of corrected
labels will not be permitted after Oct.
1, next.
Any person has a right to use .a label
which is not false or deceptive in any
particular, even though this result , is
arrived at through the use of stickers,
erasures or other suitable means. The
board directs attention td the fact,
however, that misleading and deceptive
statements must be obliterated from the
labels. 1 ,

NEW YORK, Oct. 4. It was announ

for $80,000. The prevailing price be?

If There is no Foundation fn War Talk,
he Says, There is Still the Trade In
terests Which Ar e of Inestimable
Proportions and Must be Protected,
J , a k.A- t ' : t . 1: I . .
NEW YORK, Oct. 4 Wellington if
well awarte that Japan is straining every
resource in the preparation for war,
despite the protestations of friendship
we hear from certain sources. The plan
to mobolize a great fleet in Pacific
waters is the most stragetlc move for
peace which could possibly have been
taken and shows the necessity for more
ships. To duplicate this United States
navy would cost far less than to main
tain a six moma's war witn Japan or
any formidable foreign power. An ap
propriation of $150,000,000 would build
and equip twenty modern battleships
and give as the greatest navy in tlie
world a sea-fighting strength that
precludes all possibility of menace to
the commerce or the land possessions
of the country."
Roar-Admiral Joseph Coshlan. only
retired after more than forty-six years
ot active service,, thug sounded a note
of warning in an interview at the Army
and Navy Club today in which he
strongly advocated "doubling the pres
ent naval forces as a safeguard to
peace.
"The maintenance of a powerful
ocean patrol on the Pacific," said the
Admiral, "is necessary to the United
Seates as an adquate life insurance
policy is to the dependant family that
is husbanded by no other protection.
If there is no foundation to all this
talk of war with Japan that we hear.
no truth in the prophecy of a 'yellow
penr to obviate which stringent legis
lation may becoma necessary, there
are trade interests of inestimable im
portance which must be protected and
nursed.
"Every manufacturing nation in Eu
rope, individually and collectively, is
jealous of the wonderful 'strides with
which our trade in the Orient and Far
East has grown. Their newspapers will
continue to print articles about the sig
nificance of what they term unneces
sary naval demonstration on the nart
of the United States at this time.
Not one of these European countries,
however, would hesitate at issuini? an
ultimatum which would be backed up
by warships if their own interests were
in the least interfered with.
"Aside from the trade interests whv
should not the United States send its
warships to whatever waters where their
presence will add security to the peo
ple who look to the Stars and Stripes
for protection? Why should we not
send them to the Pacific coast now!
The answer is simple. In that deree-
tion lie our most vulnerable point
and battleships, according to my under
standing, weit intended and designed to
pmtect coast lines that cannot other
wisp be well defended.
"It is known that extensive shipbuild
ing yards owned by the Japanese are
being worked to full capacity in building
new ships and converting tho.se taken
from Russia into servieable war ves
sels. They are adopting the most mod
ern appliances in all of their work. It
is a notorious fact that they have cop
ied as much of our navy as It has been
possible for them to duplicate."
"Admiral, how would the cost of du
plicating the navy as it stands today
compare with the expense of maintain
ing a war with any foreign country?"
was asked.
"It is not possible to make a compar
ative estimate unless you disregard en
tirely the value of human life," was
the prompt reply. "In the mere matter
of dollar and cents," he continued,
"$1501000,000 would more than build
twenty new battleships of the Dread
naught type and fit them with the most
modern appliances. That would give
the United States the greatest navy
afloat just what it ought to have.
"There will be a, necessity for exten
sive new shipyards. There is a dock
at Mare Island, near San Francisco,
with yards ample to take care of our
needs. A little further north at Brem
erton is another yard. With a third
yard at the Philippine base of supplies
in Subi Bay, such extensions as will
be necessary to provide for the wants
of a big fleet will represent a compara-!
nveiy small cost."

ABOUT THE SUEZ CANAL.
Figures Which Give Encouragement to
the Nicaraguan Project.
The Suez canal connects the Mediter
ranean with the Red Sea. It extend
from Port Said, 'on the Mediterranean,
to Sue, on the Red Sea, a distance of
87 miles. Of this, 00 miles is actual
canal and 21 miles lakes. The canal
is without locks. ,
It was opened to navigation Novem
ber 17, 1800 and took ten years to
build. It was built by a company or
ganized by the late Ferdinand De Leo
seps, afterward of Panama fame. The
total cost of construction was $80000,
000. Originally for about four-flftftu
of its length, it was 327 feet wide at
the suface of the water, 72 feet wide
at the bottom and 20 feet deep. For
the remainder it was 190 feet wide at
the surface of the water, the width at
the bottom and the depth being the
same as the wider portion.
In recent years it has, been widened
and deepened tn order to meet the re
quirenientg of the immense traffic pas
sinfc through it. A canal was also
built in connection to bring fresh water
to the Sues from hte Nile at a point
near Cairo. This canal reaches the Sue
at Ishmilla and then runs almost par
allell to the salt-water canal at Sues.
, It is about 40 feet wide and 9 feet
deep and is also used for navagarion
as well as irrigation. In 1873 the Brit
ish government bought the interest of
the viceroy of Egypt in the Suez canal,
The building of the Suez canal short
ened the ailing distance from London
to Bombay from 11,220 miles to 6332
miles.. The trade of the world now
passes through the canal, and its traffic
Is constantly increasing. March I, 1877
navigation at night was commenced by
the use of electric lights, thus shorten
ing the time of passage from 20 hours
to 20 hours.
During the year 1894, 3352 vessels pas
sed through the Suez canal and the re
ceipts from tolls were $15,000,000. In
1874 only 1204 vessels went through.
last year the business was larger than
ever, but it has been noted that not a
single vessel flying the American flog
went through the canal. Of course, a
large portion of the commerce was to
and from the United States, but it was
carried on foreign bottoms.
The receipts from tolls are now 20
er cent per1 year of the cost of the
canal, and Suez canal stock pays good
dividends every year out of the net
earnings.
