ADULTERATED FOOD PROBLEM, A Fierce Struggle Expeoted in Oon- @ress—An Unjust Oharge Against aBrave Soldier—Blaine Bowed Down with Grief, Wasmiseron Bure 513 FOURTERNTI STREET, Wasmyaron, D. C., Jan. 15. The contest for the paymaster-zeneralship has opened with vigor. Two candidates are in the ficid pusbing their claims for the place, which will become vacant next month, Every senatorial and congressional button is being twisted from its moorings by friends of the candidates. Endorsements and records by the bushel are piling into the war depart- ment to be examined by the president at his leisure or to accumulate dust in the files. Grand strategy is being shown, which if ap- plied to the field of actual warfare ought to make the everlasting military reputation of the warriors engaged. Colonels Kodney Smith, Gibson, Terrell and Majors Carey and Stanton are the leading candidates. Colonels Smith and Gibson base their claims on senfority 0s shown by the pub- lished record; Colonel Terrell upon active service under a single commission and rank claimed but denied; Major Carey chiefly upon his wife's relationship to the secretary of war. Major Carey is doing shrewd work through army social circles and is making claims that the prize 18 already won if Colonel Rodney Smith, the senior coionel on the register, is passed over. Major Stanton is in the raco only to prevent loss of rank by being jumped by Carey. The situation at present is favorable to Colonel Charles M. Terrell in case Colonel Smith 18 not chosen. His claim for rank under his commission of 1862, waieh is u just one, givea him a strong case on the ground of actual seniority., His endorsements come from every scotion of the country. This mornmng Senator Paddock called on President Harrison and prosented Colonel Terreil's pupers, making a vigorous plea for the appointment on grounds of pub- lic policy. He urged that the west had heretofore beon unrecognized in promotions of this character and commented upon the fact that Colonel Terrell’s service had been continuous west of the Alleghanies. He called attention briefly to his spiendid record as a disbursing ofticer and his services in capturing hundreds of thousands of dollars of stolen government tunds. On behalf of the Nebraska delegation he urged his favor- able consideration. The president intimated that Terrell’s claims were not unfamiliar and prowised to give attention to his papers. BLAINE'S GREAT BORROW. Walker Blaine’s sudden death this even- ing is a_terrible blow to his distinguished father, Nothing wmore bewilderingly sad could have befallen the secretary of state. Mr. Blaine and his son Walker have been more like two loving brothers during the past ten or twelve years than hie father and son. They were very much alike in their tastes, and were almost constantly together. For many years Mr. Blaine nhas seldom traveled any considerable distance without his son Walker. There were three of the Blaine boys. All of then. had many of the facial characteristics of their father, and each had many of his traits of character, but neither of the other two had so many of the father’s characteristics as Walker. Emmons, the second son, is o railroad man, and lives ut Baltimore. He thinks of business and at- tends to it, and 1s.not often in his father’s society. James G., jr., is learning the trade of railroad machinist, and though he looks like his father, he has as little of his literary and political taste as Emmons, Walker was a lawyer, a reader of books, a student of literature and above all a statesman and a_ politician. He was with his father so much and had so many of his father's characteristics that he could maintain his father's policies on all occa- sions. He was given the position he occu- pied in the departmet of state that he might be with and act as his father's counsell The father, in the discharge of his official duties, leaned heavily and depended much upon Walker, who was o cougenial com- panion, truthful and faithful, The death of Walker Blame is something more than e family loss. It “is a loss to the country. His father's alm was to make him his worthy successor. He hoped tnat when he laid down the cares of public life Walker could take them up and carry his work forward. Now the hope of his life seems to be at an end. There are those of Mr. Blame's friends tonight who believe that he wiil feel like retiring from public life, but that cannot be, for the country needs his services as long as he has physical strength to serve, At the reception of the president and Mrs, Harrison Mr, Blaine was greatly trouble about the condition of his son Walker, al- though he had no apprehension thav the i1 ness would prove fatal, Those who saw Mr. Blaine holding a levee in the purlor adjoln- ing the one where the president received and noted the homage paid him by all present regarded his cup of happiness as brimful, but he was not happy, for he frequentiy re- ferred to Walker's illness, and sfid that it troubled him 8o much that he shouid not have come o the reception, except that he felu a social obligation, especially in view of the fact tnat the reception was given to the diplomatic corps. Mrs, Biaine and her daughters remained at Walker's bedside duriog the reception. The family has the unbounded sympathy of every one n Wash- ington, CANTEENS AND POST TRADERS, Tbe question of canteens wud post traders was brought up n _ the . war depurtment today by Senator Mandorson, who called on the secretary of war and ad- jutant general, in company with J. M. I'hutcher, post trader at Fort Niobrara. Mr. ‘Thatcher complains that the post cans teon is doing a general business with all the country in competition to his store, while all the expensee of conducting the same are paid by the government Senator Mander- son urged upon the department thav the business of the canteen be confined to the garrison, as he did not believe congress would endorse general store keeping under such circumstances, He added that he be- lieved the teen should be conducted by the commissary department. He feared grave scandals would arise from the system as now organized. While 1 favor of the abolition of the post trader, he did not be- Lieve in makiog post traders of young army ofticers, or in funds passing ihrough the hands of uubonded ofticers. ADULTERATED FOOD. There is going to be auother fierce fight in congress over the adulterated food problem :;.“.-uunacz’wn with the adulterated food ill, It will be recalled that during the second session of the last congress there was a very iuteresting investigation made by the senate and house committees on agriculture, in- volving the entire question of food aduitera- tion, which resulted in” an acrimonious clash of the pork packing and adulterated lard interests, proving somewbat disastrous to both. This year the question comes up again uuder the guise of a bill prohibiting tue sule or interstate shipment of any article of food which is not labelled 80 as 1o describe just what it is and sold with that undar.\nndi’nx; also prohibiting the marufacture or sale of any adulterated article of food that is injurious to health, The object of the bill is to deal & death blow to the adul- terated lurd busiuess, but it also means a serious set back to the allspice factaries, brewers of adulterated articles of malt and canners. The pork packers and grangers are determived in their warfare on the adulterated lard mauufacturers, as was shown when Secretary Littler of the Amer- ican Butter and Cheese ussociation made his Altack in 8 giroular the other day upon Rep: Tnr OMawa Brw, } resentative Hitt of Illinow, charglog him with acting i _the interest of compound butter and lard manufacturers. Mr. Hitt today arose {n the house'and denounced the chargo from beginning to end, There prom- 1808 t0 bo S0me WArm entomiters in the room of the house committee on agricuiture before a report is made on the aaulterated food bill. AN UNJUST CRARGE, Senator Wilson of Towa has introduced a Dbill to remove the eharge of desortion against the militury record of George W. Hardwick of Red Oak, Ta., which is backed up by a story, and when the facts are known there is no doubt that the bill will bo passed through congress. Hardwick was hut sixteen yoars old and lived with Ts parents at Bedford, Ind., wheu the war began. He dropped his school books and went to war, At the end of two years, sick _from_ wounds and disouse incurred on ‘the field, he went home to re- cuperate, -There he married the eirl he loved when he enlisted. The exuiting oper ations around Rishmond 8o thrilled him that e rushed from the bosom of his family and appeared &t the front again. A year olapsed when ho learned that his wite was about to become n mother, After many persuasions he got & verbal leave of five days' absence that he might be at the bedside of bis wife at tho timo of the Dbirth, Just before the latter ocourrence and while be was sitting at his wite's side one night a provost marshal on the lookout for deserters entered his house and took him ay, charging him with desertion, The child, which was born within a few hours, has been an invalid, terribly racked with nervousness from the shock which the mother received on the night when the father was taken away by tho soldiers, Hardwick wa not brought to trial as deserter, for he s00n proved that he had a right to be sway on teave. It was only rocently, when ho ap- plied for a pension, that ho learncd of the charge of desertion standing against him, Many of Hardwick’s frionds in Indiana and Towa are behind Senator Wilson in his effort to secure u correction of his military record. ALLISON'S PROSTEC This evoning's Star has this editorial, which expresses very fairly the opinioa held here as to Senator Allison's re-election : ‘'Senator Alllson will have a close pull {n the Towa legislature, but. his election is al- most a foregono conclusion. The deadlock is scarcely in the nature of un opposition to him, und whatever position certain republi- caus may take regarding him thore is no republican competitor who can_ realize upon the democratic vote as_can Allison. Wnoen the existing legislative difficulties are settied Mr. Allisou’s election will almost certainly follow.’ ; STAR MAIL SCHEDULE CHANGES.

THE SIiLCOTT DEFALCATION, The Majority Report Reimbursing the Members for Their Lost Sal- aries Defeated—Hite and Oleomargnrine, Senate, WasmiNGToN, Jan. 15.—After some peti- tions were presentea Mr, Sherman intro- duced a bill t) provide for pormanent na- tional bank circulation, Referred. Mr, Chandler offered a resolution, which wus referred to the committee on contingent expenses, for an lnvestigation committes on immigration to investigate various laws of the United States and of the several states relating to immigration; also to investigate the working ef contracts made with the sccretary of the treasury. The senute then 1ok up Mr. Morgan's resolution recognizing the United States of Brazil as a free, inde- pendent aud eovereign state, and Mr. Turpio proceeded to make a spoech in support of it. Mr. Turpie said he had voted against the reference of the resolution because he thought the delay occasioned by the refer- ence wholly unnecessary. He favored the immediate recognition of the republic of Brazil, e was uot one of those who enter- tamed the opinion tnat congress was bound by the action or non-action of the exocutive or of the state department about such a mat- ter as the recognition of & new nationality, especially a new republic. Congress might co-operate with these authoritics. The posi- tion, he said, of the admimstration toward the mew republic of Brazil was one of strict neutrality and supine indifference, There was not in the message of the president a word of sympathy or encoursgement to the revolu- tionary moveme As to the president's suggestion of awaiting the popular assent to the change of government in Brazil, Mr. ‘Turpie said & revoiution was not the first step, but the last step. Thero was always popular assent before a revolution became flagrant and successtul, Tho assumption in the president’s message that the revolution- ary government of Rrazil had been estab- hished without or against the assent of the people disclosed the real attitude of tho ad- ministration toward the new government. 1t approached very nearly a condition of covert hostility, It expressed a partly conceded, but very apparent assertion, even r at the sovereignty of the republic of ‘The time had come when the ex- and authority of the republic of Bra- zil could be no longer controverted iu words. It could be controverted only by war. The chairman of the committee on foreirn rela- tious, Mr. Sherman, had told the senate it should wait and inspect the new constitution of Brazil. The United States, however, was not concerned to know what were the par- ticular provisions of that constitution. The president of the United States had been long known a republican, using the word in its larger and better sense, but Turpie feared in this in- stance the president was a very much belated republican. In the case of Brazil even Mr, Blaine seemed to limp and linger in the rear of opportunity. He coutrasted the delay with the recognition of the republic of France in 1870 by Mr. Washbugne under instructions — ffom President Grant. He trusted the delay in recognition had not al- ready led to a very serious misconstruction of the ulterior motives and intentions of the United States government. The resolution went over without further action. The senate then took up the calendar and passed the following senate bills: Relating to homestead entries in Indian Territory; to authorize the construction of a bridge across tue Missouri river within one mile of the mouth of the Kansas river; ap~ propriating 100,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection of a building at Washington for a hall of records. The Russian extradition treaty was recom- mitted to the comumittee on foreign relations. Thers was considerable discassion on the clause specifically setting forth that the mur- der or an attempt to murder the czar or any member of his family shall be considered political offense. Without this special defini- tion tho text of the treaty, it was argued by some of the senators, placed the czar and the peasant on the same level and ufforded them the same protection. It was not. necessary or just, they said, to hamper the courts in ad- vance by deciding for them that uny attempt upon the life of a member of the Russian family was not a political crime. Iv is the impression thut with the clause relating to the czar and family eliminated the treaty will be ratified by the senate. The consideration of the nomination of Thomas Morgan to be Indian commssioner was postponed until next week. After an executivo session the senate ad- journed.

Secrewary Biaine gave a dinu party Monday night to a number of people prominent in' official society and Walker Blaine was then feeling so much better that ho sat up for some time chatting with the guests and afterwards walked about the house, He contracted an additional cold, which quickly settled on his lungs and de. veloped into acute pneumonia last night, ‘This morning all the immediate relatives of the family were hastily summoned home by tolegraph. He was ‘delirious most of the day with an exceediugly high temperature and painfully labored respiration.

The finance minister has himself admitted how real and wide sproad s the agricultural distross, yot he has calmly augmented tho expendituros by 10 loss than 60,000,000 roubles. Probably the minister could uot help himself against the vressure of the war party.

It is no secret, dospite the enforced silonce of the press, that several officers of tho garrison hera have committed suicide, notably Colonel Voiokoff of the imperial czar's guards, who shot limsell with a revolver Sun- day. It is believed that this dis tinguished oficer and soveral othor unfortunates were implicated in the plot against the czar's life, recently discov ered, but no one dares to discuss the matter in public. It is reported that one of the czar's brothers is about to be bamshed for- from the capital, together with his fam ily.

It is the London home of a popular American dramatist, who has not, however, occupied it for three years, durmg which timo he has been doing successful work for the Ameri- can stage. His last work, “Sheaandoah,” is said to be one of the best plays of its cluss which has boen produced for many years.

LoNpoX, Jan. 15,—Tho case of the Earl of Euston against Blitor Park of the North London Press fpr criminal libel in charging that the earl was implicated 1n the West End scandal, came up for trial today. Sir Charles Russell, counse) for Earl Euston, said he would prove that Park had published a libel. Lockwood, counsel for the defense, in reply censured Sir Charles for withhiolding Earl Fuston from cross-examination at the prehminary hear- ing until the evidence for the defense had been given. After several witnesses had testified that tley had seen the earl enter Hamwmond’s Louse on different occasions, John Saul testified that in May, 1887, he met the carl in Picadilly and drove with him to Hammond’s house, where they committed oriminal acts, £arl Euston testifled, with the exception of the time, that in consequence of receiving the Pose Plastique card in Piccadilly he visited Hammona's house and left it indig- naot upon learning its true character, He was never in Cleveland atreet in its life, He did not know Witness Saul and devied that he had made any of the visits testified Lo by the preceding witnesses, Catholics and the State, Rome, Jan, 15.~The pope has 1ssued an encyclical which sets forth the prineciples which shall guide Catholics in their relations toward the state.
