affirming the inaiutenunee of Dr. Macken

posed with reference to the proposaltogrant
Prince William power to sign, in the erent
of temimrary incapacity of the Kmperor con-
eurreut with tlie prostration of the Crown
Prince. The Crown Prince differs with Bis
marck on-the question of a regener of this
character. It is reported that the Kmperor
accedes to the proposal, admitting tlie force
of Rismarck’s plea that the sinmltnneous
illness of himself and the Crown Prince
might.create confusion in the management
of public affairs. The Kmperor is careful
to show himself every day, either driving
out or appearing at the'window of the
palace. This helps to cahu the general
pertnrhfltlnn.
The Ctar’s agents have renewed their
efforts to raise a loan of .">00,000,000 roubles
ut n nominal rate in Amsterdam, London
and Puri*. The loan, if secured, will accel
erate war, but if refused will not prevent it.

However much he may be averse to w ir, the
internal discords of Russia will toon force

A faint glimpse of peace is got in the action
of the-Czar in intrusting his brother, the
Grand Duke Vladimir, with the routine deal
ings between the niinistersand the Czar. The
wife of the Grand Duke Vladimir, the Prin
cess of Meckltnberg, is a steadfast German
and sways the Duke in oppoaing the war
party, but the Grand Duke’a character is ill-
fitted to rape with Ministers Liekenofl', Van-

CHICAGO, March 4.—Chief Engineer Ar
thur, Bjiuaking to-day of tho atrike, said:
“Our reports are inosf reassuring. The fact
that for seven day* there has uot been a
break in the Brotherhood on the line is of
itself of most reassuring nature. We are in
receipt hourly of letters and dispatches from
all over the system, showing the loyalty of
the men.”
“Is it not a fact,” Mr. Arthur was asked,
“that all Western roads are giving tlie Bur
lington moral support, which, being equiva
lent to a financial one, gives the Brotherhood
a clear right to discontinue work on these
outside roads?”
“I have no means of knowing. If they
are, it is in violation of solernu pledges from
the managers of other roads that they would
umintain strict neutrality.”
“If you-found that other roads were doing
this, would you order a strike?”
“if a grievance ef that nature were brought
to my attention I should carefully look into
“So it is not probable that Congress will be
called on to investigate this strike?”
“Congress will not be asked to look into it
by me, as there is no necessity for investiga
tion. What we have done has been done
openly and lias been given to the public
through the press.”
“Ar’d you nre confident of winning the
fight?”
“if the men stand firm it is beyond ques
tion that we shall.”
MJiETISG AT jt£W YORK.
New Y>rk, March 4.—A secret meeting
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers was held at Tammany Ilal! today to
take action on the strike of the engineers
ou the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail
road. Delegates from fifteen divisions of the
board of locomotive engineers in this vicin
ity were present, representing all roods cen

was unanimously adopted, bating that the

T1IE LAItD INQUIRY.
A New Y'ork Comtutvstou Merchant Stoutly
Defends lie lined Lard.
Washington, March 2.—Abram S. Jewett,
a commission merchant of New York and a
member of the Produce Exchange, appear
ed before the House committee on agricul
ture this morning. He said he had been iu
the lard business and has dealt largely in
lard. Ills firm had been probably thr first
in the country to manufacture refined lard.
Before the hog packing business was Brough t
to its present state of excellence, and when
hogs were cured mail establishments, it
was almost impossible to get n tboas&nil
tierces of lard of «r.y uniforniitr. and his
firm had conceived the idea of rendering the
lard so as to make it uuiform. it put. nt>
outside substances into lurd, but into tlm
lard which was exported to Boith Araristn
countries it mixed stearine iu order to hard
en the lard and enable it to stand the warns *
weather. Competition had grown so rapidly
that manufacturers sought something to
cheapen the product and used water. Finally
BO MUCH WATER Wil PUT IN LARD
that buyers rejected it, as much as 45 per
cent. Kettle-rendered lard was absolutely
free from water. When buyers refused Jtrd
mi account of the large amount «f water
iu it, the manufacturer' looked about for
some cheaper article to take ita place, and
fixed upou cotton seed oil. It was found
that it combined with lard without damag
ing it, while it cheapened ita cost. The ad
ding of oil to the lard necessitated the use
of a hardening substance like stearine as n.
eouutcrnctunt. About the time cotton seed
oil began to be used, oleomargerir.e came in-
.to the market. !t was made from tho kid
ney fat of the bullock. There was nothing
Impure that could come from animal fat and
it was used in hardening lard. He did not
know exactly in what proportion cotton
seed oil went into lurd. but lie should think
the proportion to be about sixty pounds of
lard to 25 pounds of oil and fifteen pound*
of stearine.
THIS PRODUCT
he considered to be wholesome and jnst ax
good as pure lard, as far as cooking waa con
cerned. There were standard qualities *of
cotton seed oil, but he did not know that
they differed except as to color.
The Chairman—Do ydu know how cottom
seed oil is transported from the South?
The Witness—1 think it comes in barrcliu
The Chairman—Do you know whether or
not the Standard Oil Company is transparting
cottonseed oil from the South in oil tanks?
The Witness—l do not. i never heard of
it, hut I think it would be practicable.
The Chairman—Would you regard it as ar
proper thing for the Standard Oil Company
to fill tanks in Pennsylvania with keruKcne
oil and take them South, nml then till th*-n»
with cotton seed oil for transportation to tiu-.
North?
Tlie Witness—No, sir; It would utterly
ruin it.
The Chairman—If it has been done it
would change vour view* about the whole-
sonienet-s of fldi product?
The Witness—It could not be done with
out detection.
