VArK Aug. 10. Tho decision of the
IJchrlhg sen trlbutinlof nrbltratlon wan
hnnded down lit It o'clock yesterday
morning. Tho flvo poluts of nrtlclo 0
nro decided ngnlnst tho United States.
Tho close Reason Is cntalillnlicd to I e-
Bin Slay land to contlnuo until July
21. Thin r.lose wason Is to bo observed
both In tho North 1'nclfle ocean and in
Hehrlng Bex
A protected 7ono Is established ex

Tho use of firearms in scaling is pro-

was rendered thnuked tho nrbttrntort
for tho close tuid intelligent attention
they had brought to bear upon tho case
and Lord linnucu 4 . .Senator Morgan
in reply acknowledged his courtesy and
hospitality.
After a preamjlo statin? tho cas

tlic treaty of 1821 with Great Drltaln Hussla
oilmlltcel thru her Jurisdiction In said sea
should bo restricted so as to reach a cannoc
shot from shore. It appears that from that

the United Stales Itussla never asscrtod In
fcl or exorcised any exclusive Jurisdiction In
Il.hriPif c or any exclusive rights to tho seal
QsLerles theroln beyond tho ordinary limit ol

As to tho second of tho flro points we the

tlon as to Iho seal fisheries In Ilehrlng soa out-
k!do I ho ordinary territorial waters.
As to the third point ss to so much thereof
as requires us to decldo whether the body of

treaty of lf between Great llrllnln and Hu-
shi wo unanimously dectdo to dotormlno that
- that body of tratcr Bow known as Ilehrlng sea
was Included In tbo phrase I'a.ltlc ocean" as
u.ct (n snM treaty.
On tbo fourth point wn dcclJo that all the

Jlr. Voorhcos to favorably report tho

room thero was somo very persistent
opposition to tho reporting1 of this
measure by Atcnsra. Vance Jones of
Arkansas and Harris of Tcpncssco.
Tho discussion tended to show that tho
finance commlttco was an far removed
as over from common good on tho ejucs-
tlon of general legislation on the finan-
cial situation nnd the repeal of the our-
chasing clattso of tho Kucrman law in
paitlculnr. H was agreed that tho

Voorhcos tho chairman holding
tho balance of power. How ho
will vote may decide tho action of tho
committee. Ho has said that ho Is In
favor of tho repeal of tho Sherman law
cither with conditions or without; that
ho will voto for it without conditions
but by so doing does not glvo up his
allcgianeo to silver as a money motal.
Ho has said that tho voto on tlio repeal
will not Indlcnto tho standing of tho
Beunlo on tho question of bimetallism

go on record In that way. On the other
hand should tho ultra silver men ngrco
upon somo measure not teio radical In
Its charnctor it Is said that possibly
Mr. Vejorhcc might go vlth them.
Ho far tho commlttco is divided on
lines that show tho extremes of tho
proposition. Tho silver men insist that
they will submit to nothing but free
coinage nt tho present ratio and tho
other side with equal emphasis assert
thnt tho only thing they will indorso
will lie tho unconditional repeal of tb
purchasing clause.

A SURVIVAL. OT OMnOHlUSM.
iUkmo I'uds In the American Syatont of
Criminal Punishment.
Not long ago nowspapcr readers wero
shocked by accounts of tho treatment
of n whlto woman prisoner in ono of
the American cities where tho chain-
gang system of punishment is still in
use. This womnn was ordered to work
in the streets nnd upon her obstinate)
refusal to submit to what was even lo
a convict uncndttrublo degradation waa
literally starved Into yielding.
Tho inoldcnt Is only n revolting Illus-
tration of tho wrong attaching to tho
whole system of punishment by public
exposure to shame. Tho street chain-
gang nnd tho heartless leasing of con-
victs aa practically slaves to mine-owners
ought to bo as they aro In most
parts of tho country as antiquated nnd
impossible as tho whipping-post nnd
tho stocks.
Tho governor of Alabama has lately
pareloncd thirty convicts who had be-
come helpless from rheumatism in-
citrreel while working In certain iron
mines whero two thousand prisoners
workcil under contract
In somo of these mines tho gas is
poisonous; a peculiar aa-1 dreadful ills-
easo of tho lungs Is fearfully prevalent
among tho miners and thrce-fourthsoi
those attacked die.
Measures havo been taken to Improve
tho condition of these) wretched con-
victs but their fate Is still a cruel one.
Modern Ideas tend mora nnd moro to
mnko legal restraint a means of reform
not of torture or primarily of degrada-
tion; to mako tho prisoner better II
possible at least to place him under
healthful physical and moral condi-
tions; to safu-gtiartl tho community
but not to destroy what may remuliHn

treatment as it seems from theso re-

fronted tho homescckurs who hava como
to tho border within tho past three
months has been; "How can wo locate
ourselves." It is a well known fact
that few of tho old government survey
stones remain in place to-elay. A per-
son not uscel to the general lay of tho
land may travel through tho strip all
day and probably never sco a corner
stone. Tho people who have been hero
waiting for the opening for tho past
eight years need noguldesln the way of
stones. They havo their claims picked
out nnd can como us near going to
them as though they wero fenced.
Thcso samo fellows it is alleged havo
carried tho stones away lit somo In-
stances nnd In others have taken tho
corners up and transferred them so
thnt In caso someono In making tho
run should honestly win the prizo tho
schemer would go onto tho claim also
and when tho filing was made tho hon-
est settler would find his numbers
wrong and Ipso tho claim whllo tho
schemer would win lt
Theso samo fellows havo lweii the
leaders in tlio cry that went up to the
effect that anyono going upon tho
strip examining corner-stones or pick-
ing out claims after March 2 1M3
would forfeit all right to homestead
such lauds. Tho schemer of course
had his claim examined prior to that
date. This fact has caused much dis-
appointment on the part of tho new-
comers who know thoy will stand lit

SENATOR VEST TALK3.
Missouri' Benalor Addresses Hie Renato
In I'avnr of IHniHalllsin.
WAsiil.tnTOfT Aug. 15. In tho sen-
ate yesterday Mr. Vest Introduced a
bill for tho colnngo of silver bullion in
tho treasury saying that It had been
sent to htm from Now York and that
it met his partial approval.
Mr. Vest called up tho resolution of-
fered by him Inst Tuesday favoring bi-
metallism and tho free and unlimited
colnago of lxth gold nnd silver with-
out discriminating against cither metal
but maintaining their parity.
llcforo beginning his speech in favor
of the resolution Senntor Vest had read
tho declarations In tho republican and
democratic platforms on tho subject of
silver In order to show that both parties
wero practlcilly ngrccd on that rjuev
tlon. Ho said that it was time for tho
pcoplo of tho United States to know
whether politics wcro a fraud or
whether. -ho solemn declarations of
parties wcro worthy tho confidence of
a free people.
Tnklng up tho Sherman act Mr. Vest
spoko of It ns a houseless and homeless
legislative deg with no ono even to
give It a bono nnd without being
ablo to find n kennel in which to hldo
its dishonored head And neverthe-
less ho would voto against Its repeal
without n guarantee an solemn ns tho
great necessity of tho people that sil-
ver shall exist In tho United States as
a money metal.
Ho had been known ns tho firm and
unshrinking friend of tho president of
tho United States and has In nil his
campaign speeches In Missouri elo-
clarcd Mr. Cleveland to bo a blmotallst
llko himself nnd that they only differed
in reference to tho ratio.
Ho undertook to say with the great-
est respect for tho president nnd with-
out tho slightest doubt of his honesty
of purpose that when ho failed (In that
great stato paper) to say ono woril In
respect to bimetallism ho certainly
meant that a consideration of tho
question of tho free colnngo of sllvcrat
any ratio was so impracticable that it
did not need executive notice. As to
the assertion that silver should bo de-
monetized bccattso It fluctuated In
value while gold wns stable ho read
nn extract from what ho called "a re-
markable pamphlet" written by Mr.
Montclth Douglass a business man of
London befrjre tho closing of tho In-
dian mints pleading with the people of
G-eat Jlritaln iu favor of bimetallism
as tho only sure foundation for finan-
cial existence nnd declaring that
silver has really fluctuated much less
than gold.
In replying to questions by Mr. Gray
of Delaware Mr. Vest asserted that
any discussion on tho subject would ba
imperfect and unsatisfactory which
did not admit on both sides what
was known to every Intelligent man
that if tho vol u mo of money was in-
creased tho prices of commodities went
up and that it the volume of money
was elccrcascel tho price of coinmcxll-
lles wrntelnw. tr-. ts -- .-- .
in tho vicissitudes of his life when
tso of paper would not buy a
1 -f of bread and when a f3 gold
piec. would buy a house nnd lot. It
was not necessary for him to sav when
and whero that was because ho did
not wish to review wnr issues. Laugh-
ter. And so if one-half of tho cola
currency of tho country wore struck
down the burdens of those who owed
money would bo doubled ami tho prices
of commodities put down beyond com-
putation. Mr. Vest spoko of tho bimetallism of
Franco nnd declared that to-day tho
French pcoplo arc financially tho first
people in existence. Tho French peas-
antry hoarded their silvers franc pieces
and so In Uio United States the col-
ored men of tho south would hoard
silver dollars If they could get them.
Why ho asked shouh not the United
States float KOO.OCO.UOO of silver in this
country Instead of being told tho coun-
try would bo shipwrecked if silver
coinage was contiuued another day.
It was not ho asserted tho overpro-
duction of silver that had brought
down its vnlud. It wns legislation tlu.t
had dono It legislation in Germany
nnd tho United States. How could it
bo expected that silver would retain
Its value when thoso two great nations
took away tho monetary upo of silver?
With tho resources and population of
tho United States It was only necessary
for tho United States to fix a policy
and stand by It.
Mr. Vest spoko of the unfortunato
condition of tho miners of tho west
and said that tho somewhat dramttta
remark of nn ex-scnator recently that
In tho cxtrcmo west the people wero
crying for bread and that in New York
they were crying for gold was literally
true.
"SupjKrse" said he "that wo wcro
tilled upon to-tlay to pass a law stop-
ping tho factories of New England
what protests would wo hear from
that section? Suppose wo wero
called upon to strlko down tho wheat
culture of Dakota nnd of tho lied river
of tho north would wo not expect to
hear protests ugnlnst It? If I wero
hero from ono of tho silver producing
states I would flghl tho demonetiza-
tion of silver as I fought tho force bill

1 can by any possibility by legisla-
tion tentative or otherwise keep this
great disaster from thcso people citi-
zens of this great republic of tho samo

GOME SANITAnY ASPECTS OF
DREAD MAKING.
nr OTTtus ncsoir it. n.
Health Commissioner Now York City.
It Is necessary If one would under-
stand tho tnnltnry aspects of bread
making to fully comprehend tho pres-
ent theory held by scientists of germs
nnd tho part played by them In dlscaso.
Tho theory of disenro germs is merely
the namo given to tho knowledge had
of thoso germs by medical men a
knowledge which is tho result of In-
numerable experiments llelng this
tho oltl term of n "theory" lias becomo
a misnomer. A germ of a disease Is a
plant so small that 1 do not know
how to express Intelligibly to tho gen-
eral reader Its lack of size. When this
germ is introduced into the blood
or tissues of tho body Its no-
tion appears to bo analogous to that
which takes placo when yeast is added
to dough. It attacks certain elements
of tho blood or tissues and destroys
them at tho samo tlmo producing now
substances.
Hut tho germs of tho greater part of
tho germ eliscascs that is of tho infec-
tious anel contagious diseases will .e-
velop or incrcaso In number without
being in tho body of a human being
provided always you glvo them tho
proper conditions. Thcso conditions
aro to bo found In dougli which Is be-
ing raised with yeast. They aro
warmth moisture and tho organic
matter of tho flonronwhlc't the germs
after certain changes feed.
It is necessary to remember at this
point that yeast Is germ growth and
" Di84xa oewis rocro tomb
when Introduced Into a mixturo of glu-
cose or starch in tlio presence of
warmth and moisture sets up a fer-
mentation. If tho mixture be a starchy
dough tho yeast first changes a portion
of tho starch Into glucose and then de-
composes the glucose by changing it
into two new substances viz. carbonic
ncidfaS'.and.nlenhnl-.. .
Now Uio glujen wlifeih Is also a corf-
stltuent of dougli nnd moist starch
affords with the latter an excellent
nidus for tho development of germs of
dbcaso as well as for the yeast germs.
The germs of cholera as of typhoid
fever would if introduced into dough
find very favorable conditions for their
growth.
I do not wish lo "pose" as an alarm-
ist nor am I willing to say thero Is
very much chanco of the germs of
typhus and of cholera Teaching tho
stomachs of tho pcoplo who eat bread
which has been raiseel with yeast.
Hut while I am not afraid that cholera
anil typhus will bo greatly spread by
yeast-raised bread I havo not tho
slightost cause to'cloubt that othcrdis-
cars hare' been and 'will "ie carried
about in Ihobrcad-'.nfJfc t isflftsK.' '"
I liavo met 'journeymen bakers suf-
fering fr m cntan'eoiii dlsrsses work-
ing the elotigh in the bread trough-with
naked hands anel arms. I 'suppose I
necil scarcely say this was put a stop
to in very short order. I have no rea-
son to suppose bakers nro less liable to
cutaneous eltaeascs than are other
men and I know ns every house-
wlfo knows ycast-ralscd bread
must be worked a long time. This
is an exceedingly objectionable
thing from the standpoint of a physi-
cian and for tho reasons that the
germs of ellscaso which aro in the air
and dust nnel on -talnvays anel straps
in street cars aro most often collected
on tho hands. So well do physicians
know this that there is no ablution
practical equal to that which they un-
dergo beforo they perform any kind of
surgical operation. Any person whd
bas ever kneaded dough understands
tho way in which the dough cleans the
hands. In other words this means
that any germs which may have found
a lodging placo on tho hands of the
baker before ho makes up his batch of
bread aro sure to find their way into
the dough and onco there to find all
tho conditions necessary for subdi-
vision and growth. This Is equivalent
to saying that wo must rely on heat to
kill thcso germs because it is almost
certain that they will be there. Now
underdone or doughy bread Is a form
which ovcry man and woman lias seen.
It is a belief as old as the hills that
underdono bread is unhealthful. This
reputation has bceu earned for it by
tho experience of countless genera-
tions und no enref ttl mother will wish
her children to cat bread that has not
occn thoroughly cooked Tho reason
given for this recognized unhealthful-
ncss has been that tho uncooked yeast
dougli Is very difllcult to digest and
this reason has value. No one but a
physician would bo apt to think of dis
ease germs which havo not been killed
during tho process of baking as a
cause of tho sickness following tho
uso of uncooked yeast bread. Yet this
result from this causo is moro than
probable I have not tho slightest
doubt that could wo trace back some
of tho cases of illness which wo meet
in our practico vro would find that
germs collected by tho baker havo
found their way Into the yeast bread
that tho heat has not been sufficient to
destroy them that tho uncooked yeast
broad has been eaten nnd with it tho
colonics of germs that they havo
found their way into tho blooel and
that tho call for our services which
followed has rounded off this sequence
of events.
I have already pointed out that the
germs of disease nro to bo found In
tho air and dust Tho longer any sub-
stance to bo eaten Is exposed to the
air the greater the chanco that germs
will be deposited ou It. Ilrcad raised
wltV yenst is worked down or kneaded
twlco. before bolng baked and this pro-
cess way take unywheroyfrom fpur

lng eioli of which it may gather tho
dirt containing tho germs from tho
baker's hands. As no bread sovo that
raised with yeast goes through this
long process of raising nnd kncadln.T
so no bread save that raised with yeast
has so good a chance of gathering
germs.
What Js meant by "raising" bread Is
worth a few words. Tho introduction
of tho yeast into tho moist elongh nnel
tho addition of heat when tho pan Is
placed noir tho flro produces an enor-
mous growth of the yeast fungi tho
yeast "gcrm.'Mn. other words. These
fungi effect a destructive fermentation
of a portion of tho starchy matter of
tho flour ono of tho most roluabto
nutrient elements in tho flour. Tho
fermentation produces carbonic ncld
gas and this having its origin In
ovory llttlo particle of tho starch
which is Itself ovcrywhero In tho flour
pushes asldo tho particles of tho dough
to givo itself room. Tills is what is
called raising tho bread.
It needs but a glanco to sco that it
is in its effects on tho dough purely
mechanical. Tho dough which was
beforo n close-grained mass is now
full of llttlo holes and when cooked in
this condition is what wo ordinarily
call light. This porous quality of
bread cnnblcs tho stomach to rapidly
nnel easily eilgcst it lor tlio gastric
juices quickly soak into and attack it
from all sides. Tho fermentation of
tho dough howover uses np a portion
of tho nutrient elements of tho loaf.
If it bo possible therefore to produce
a light porous loaf without this de-
struction and without tho "kneading"

process which Alls the dough with
germs and filth and without tho long
period during which the raising process
goes on tho gain in food and tn gain
in tho .avoidance of tho germs is ex-
ceedingly plain.
Hut while wo can easily see the dan-
gers which attend tho use of yeast it Is
proeTuced by It'on the 'Soiiglris totho
last degrco perfect- By this I mean
that cs ery particle of gluten produces
its llttlo bubble of gas and that there-
fore the bread is properly raised- that
Is It Is raised everywhere. It Is ap-
parent that If we aro to substitute any
other system of bread making we must
havo ono which will glvo us first me-
chanical results equally as good that
Is that will produce minute bubbles of
carbonic acid gas throughout tho mass
of dough. Now it is in no way difll-
cult to produce carbonic acid gas chem-
ically but when wo aro working at
bread wo must use such chemicals ns
aro perfectly healthful. Fortunately
these aro not hard to find.
Tho evils which attend tho yeast-
made bread aro obviated by tho uso of
a properly made pure and wholesome
baking powder In lieu of yeast Hak-
ing powders are composed of an acid

and an alkali which if properly com-
bined should when they unite at once
tlcstroy themselves and produce enr-
bonlo ncld gas. A good baking powder
docs its work while the loaf Is In tho
oven and having done it disappears.
Hut care is Imperative In selecting
tho brand of baking powder to bo cer-
tain that it is composed of non-lnjnrl-ous
chemicals. 1'owden containing
alum or thoso which aro com-
pounded from Impure ingredients
or thoso which aro not com-
bined In proper proportion or care-

not bo used.
It Is well to sound a note of warning
in this direction or tho chango from.
the objectionable yeast to an impuro I
baklng powder will bo a caso of jump-
ing from tho frying pan into the tire.
The best baking powder mado is as
shown by analysis tho "Koyal." It
contains absolutely nothing but cream
of tartar and soda Alined to a chem-
ical purity which when combined un-
der the Influence of heat and moisture

Hero then thero is no chnnco for
germs of disease to get into tho dough
and thenco into the stomach mora
than that tho bread is necessarily as
sweet ns possible thero having beca
no tlmo during which it could sour.
This involves tho fact that tho bread
so mado will keep longer as It Is less
likely to Iks contaminated by tho germs
that affect (he souring process.
It will bo strnngo if tho crowds of

llko these.
I have shown tho danger of uslnjr
tho yeast raised bread and with this I
havo shown how t'uat danger may ba
avoided. The ounco of prevention
which In this caso is neither dif-
ficult nor expensive Is certain'
ly worth many pounds of euro
and tho best thing alraut It H
that it may bo relied on almost abso-
