of Meat Inspection Law. ,

Wilson today declared that, as a res.iit
of trie new meat inspection law and the
rule promulgated by him, a rsdiral

"Within a very short spare cf time,
he said, "the meat products of the

wholesome than any similar products
of the world. The conditions existing
in tome of the slaughtering and pack
ing houses alroad are about a bad at
ran be imagined, and the American
people henceforth will enjoy a distinct
advantage over the foreign consumers
"Of particular importance is the rule
providing for weekly inspection report
to be supplied the bureau of animal in
dustry. Wi bout such reports it would
te difticnlt to cope with the situation
As a general proposition, however, the
law will le complied with in every dr
tail, but I shall take Dothitig fot grant
ed, and will make the inspections in
every establishment tl at the law reach
es rigid and complete."

STATE ASYLUM FIRE
Electric Light Wire Starts Flame
In Oregon Institution.
BUT LITTLE DAMAGE IS DONE
Convict Aid the Fore of Employes
and Patients Were Cared for
Without Excitement.
Salem, Or., July 23. Fire, which
probably origiated from an electric
light wire, bured the woodwork out cf
the attic of one of the central wards of
the state intane asylum yesterday jnst
before the noon hour. The fire was
confined to the one ward, and was at
ii time in danger of gettiag beyond the
control ot the fire fighters. The two
fire companies, composed of asylum
employee, aided by the Salem fire dc
partment and by convicts and guards
from the penitentiary, saved the build
ing. The loes is due chiefly to damage
from water seeping through the floors
and ceilings. Superintendent Cat
breath thinkt the damage can be re
paired for $2,500, though it may cost
$5 000.
Owing to the fact that the patient
at the asylmu are given a weekly fire
drill, tbey were quickly marched out of
the building and were at no time in
any danger. One attendant, . V
Boggs, fainted from exhaustion after an
hour' hard work in the smoke and
heat.
The fire originated in the attic over
the first tier of wards north ot the cen
tral section of the building. Theee
wards are occupied by new patients and
by patients who are convalescing. The
patients had been out in the vard exer
cising, and had just marched in to pre
pare for the noon meal when the auto
matic alarm gave warning of a fire in
the attic. The patients, numbering
about 120 in the three wards in tbis
tier, were quickly marched out, and tl.e
fire companies hurriedly stretched hoee
Eleven convicts who were excavating
in the basement hastened to assist, and
rendered service in handling the lines
of hoee up on the roof, a task both la
borious and dangerous, forth mea bad
to work at times on coping in order to
drag the bote around corners. In 1
few minute after the alarm was sourd
ed six line of hoee under 100 pojnds
pressure were playing on the fire, and
toon the Salem fire department arrived
and turned on two ttreams more.
The patients were entirely calm and
tbowed no excitement whatever. Those
patients who were in the wards distant
from the part of the building in which
the fire originated were not taken out
of the building, but were kept in readi
ness to go out at any time.
The asylum has its own water sys
tern, receiving it water from wells at
the prison, a quarter of a mile distant
The state carries no insurance on the
building.

BLAME DAMAGE TO QUAKE.
Six Big Insurance Companies Repud
iate San Francisco Losses.
San Francisco, Julv 27. The sever
est blow dealt the policy-holders of
San Francisco baa come in the form of
an announcement from six of the larg
est underwriting concern t, which prac
tically declare that they will pay no
losses incurred by the April fire. The
earthquake clause in the policies is put
forward and the statement made that
all the dac age done by the flames is
attributable to the shock.
In this combination of welchers are
two American companies and four Brit
ish companies. The concerns are
Commercial Union Assurance, ltd., of
England; Commercial Union Fire In
urance company, of New York; Pala
tine Fire Insurance company, ltd., of
England: Alliance Assurance company,
Ltd , of England ; Alliance Assurance
company, ltd., of F.ngland; Norwich
Union Fire Assurance society, of F.ng
land; Indemnity Fire Insurance com
pany, of New York.
Their combined liabilities in the
burned area will reach $15,000,000. Of
this amount they pledge themselves to
pay "for actual loss suffered in every
. t t I! . i ..
case in whin legal naoiniy is noi
doubtful." As the companies claim
that they cannot be held for losses
caused "directly or indirectly by the
earthquake," this pretty phrasing,
when translated into plain English,
means absolute repudiation.

DISARMS THE JEWS
Anti-Jewish Outbreak Might Help
Czar's Cause.
HELPLESS PREY TO MOB'S IURV
Leaders of Jewish Ound Arretted,
Beaten and Tortured to Ex
tort Confessions.
Odessa, July 2il. The authorities
continue their tactics of disarming all
who are suspccteil of having weapons.
House-tivlioune ernrrhes have resulted
in bringing to central hiadtjunrters
hundreds of tiMxlrrn revolvers. Most ol
these are of American make and were
taken from houses in the Jewish
quarter.
It is plain from the attitude of the
authorities that their intention at
present is to disarm all the Jews and to
place them at the merry of the mob,
should the government feel that anti
Jewish rioting would benefit itt posi
tion. During last nig'it and up to noon
today many Jewt who are known to
have been prominent in the Jewish
Bund movement have been'arrested and
imprisoned. It it reported that in
many instance theae men were unmer
cifully beaten and tortured by the au
thorities in an effort to compel them to
confess where arms and bomb known
to tiave been brought into th city were
concealed.
GOVERNMENT HELPLESS.

for Philippines.
Washington, July 26. That a com
bination of foreign steamship lines Imi
the I'nited States government at its
merry as regards the transportation of
army and navy supplies and govern
ment sto'es from this country to the
Philippines is the latett'charg entered
in the docket book. The army und
navy otlicers in charpeof transportation
matters are loath to discuss the subject,
dismissing it with the explanation that
under the rules of the depart merits they
are not permitted to talk about otheial
affair for publication.
Jf statements emanating from outside
sources are worthy of credence, how
ever, there will be work for the depart
ment of Justice in an entirely new
field, when it can take the time awav
from Investigations of big interior trust
abuses and the enforcement of the rev
enue law.
In shipping to our possessions in the
Far Eat, the government is compelled
to patronize steamship companies fly
ing foreign flags. The shipments are
made mostly by British line sailing
from New York by way of the Suet
ranal. The only other way would be
to ship by rail across the American
continent and thence by the IV.ific ex
press steamers, but freight rates by
that route are prohibitive, except for
food anppliea and foraue Innght on the
Pacitic roast and shipped direct to Ma
n i la . There is no direct American line
to the Philippines by the eastern route

adulteration is the subject of a report
received I y the bureau of manufactures
f'om Consul General Brittain, of Kehl

prosecutions for adulterating food
products; in 1898 the number had in
creased to 3,000; in?1901 to 3.685, and
in 1903 to 6,000. Thirty Berlin but
ter manufacturers wire summoned he
fore the courts for almoet incredible
adn'tera'.ion rf their ware.
Wines, chocolate, cocoa, brandies
and medicines have been discovered to
contain absolutely injurious and dan
gerous iiibitancei used for adultera
tion. In fact, according to a Strasshurg
paper, there seems to have been very
few articles ol manufactured food and
drink products which have not been
tiie subject of adulteration on the part
of the German manufacturer.

transportation facilities were absorbed
by the large movement of troops at

Fines.
Cleveland, ., July 25 The govern
n.ent has altered its plan of action
against the Standard MI company, and
the result will save its olliiers from a
poesihle term in prison. Il was stated
tonight that the Federal authorities
have decided to prosecute the oil in
quiry under the charge of misde
meanor, which means that only a tlnn
can lie imposed in rase cd conviction.
Heretofore the rharge has been felony,
which meant both flue and imprison
ment. The government will pmceed with
the inquiry in Chicago by filing infor
mation against the Standard and ita
otlicers. A grand jury will m dispensed
with altogether. The district attorney
will file an information against the oil
company's nflicers, they will I hauled
into court and, if convicted, will te
fined.
The change of action is of national
importance. It is laid that Attorney
General Moody has ccncluded that the.
best results can be obtained by th in
flic tion of heavy lints under the Elkina
