Register of the Treasury Lyons Sees Hopeful Signs In Georgia. Washington Special to the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Judson W. Lyons, the colored register of the treasury, has returned from a visit to his State, Georgia, with strong convictions that a reaction against mob violence toward his race has set in. "That such a change is taking place." he said to-day, "there can be no doubt. I believe it is going to result in giving back to the courts their own in the matter of trying all persons accused of crime, and punishing them If, upon Investigation, they are found guilty. I believe that the good people have discovered by recent occurrences that it will be best for all parties concerned and best for the State. It is unauestlonably certain that those communities where life and property are most secure and sacred are the most prosperous. "The State of Georgia has forged won derfully ahead in a commercial sense in the last generation, and the colored man has been an important factor in that develop ment. Those people who look ahead of then a minute are deposed to see that he shall have at least half a chance before the courts. "Now, to illustrate, I attended a meeting of the Grand Lodge of Masons on St. John's day at Americus. the home of the late bpeaker Crisp. It Is most pleasing, indeed. to visit this little metropolis of southwest Georgia, a city of about 15,000 Inhabitants, with electric lights, sewerage, artesian wens and ail modern city Improvements. with splendid thre-e and four-story brick buildings for business houses, banks and offices. Quite a large percentage of the fiopulatlon are colored, and it was extremey gratifj-lng to me to see how friendly the two races live together la this iouthweit

Georgia town. The Grand Lodge Is com

posed of colored men entirely probably 4j0 or more in all and from nearly every section of the State. They were received by the entire people of the little city with the utmost warmth and cordiality, and were told to make themselves at heme and to feel they were entirely welcome. By their every action the good people, white and col ored, made us feel that we were, indeed, welcome, and in the hands of friends. By the way. there are a half-dozen or more colored merchants in Americus, and they do a splendid business, carrying stocks or from J2.00J to Jj.txx). I was told by some of th bankers that these colored merchants are No. 1 business men, and that their pa per always goes for its face value. I here are three or four colored physicians in the city, all doing well, and all are living in perfect peace with their neighbors. I men tion these things because they are simply a sample of what is to be found in the Geor gia towns generally." MASON DEFENDS HOAR. Also Say lie Doe Not Want to See the Flai? Above Slaves. BOSTON, July 4. The chief feature of the field day of the Clan-na-Gael of Boston and vicinity to-day was the platform meet ing, which was addressed by William E. Mason, United States senator from Illinois, George Fred Williams and others. Senator Mason was first introduced, and as he was about to speak a man in the crowd asked him if he believed in pulling the' American flag, down where once It had been raised. The senator replied: "I do not believe in aking down the American flag If it Is where it belongs. I do not want to see a flag I ove above a race of slaves." Senator Mason said he despised the con stant faddism of desiring to imitate Engand. For a hundred years, said the sena tor, we have been hurrahing for self-government, for liberty of conscience and general politics. For 100 years we have written it all over our history, and to-day we are killing men. women and children because they want what our forefathers fought for. The men we are shooting to-day fought for us ninety days ago. Nero himself never turned a gun upon an ally. Senator Mason said there was no danger from any foreign power if we mind our own business. He defended Senator Hoar from the attacks of expansionists. JULY 4 ABROAD. (Conclnded from First Page.) luted with twenty-one guns, to which the Monongahela responded. A fatality, however, marred the celebration. Wrhen a sig nal boy ascended to the masthead of the British second class cruiser Arrogant, to clear the halyards fast to the stars and stripes, which had apparently become foul of some of the rigging, the lad fell to the ship's deck and was killed. Joseph H. Choate, the United States am bassador, and Mrs. Choate, celebrated the day in London with receptions, both at the United States embassy and at their residence. Each of the buildings was taste fully decorated with flags and flowers rep resenting the national colors. The guests Included Sir William Collins, the Queen's master of ceremonies; Samuel T. Clemens and Mrs. Clemens, Senator and Mrs. Mark A. Hanna, Senator and Mrs. Henry Cabot Lodgo and United States Consul General and Mrs. William M. Osborne. The reception at the residence was attended by 1,500 persons, including many English people and a number of the leaders of the International Council of Women. Some boys from the United States training ship Monongahela, now at Plymouth, were also present and at tracted much attention. A band of muslo Dlaved on the terrace. Amonc the iruesta were the Duchess of Marlborough, Lady William Beresford, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, the Canadian high commissioner, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Parker. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Crane, Mr. and Mrs. John Drew, Mesdames Ronalds, Mackay, Rider Haggard and Frank Leslie; General Wheaton, and Mrs. Wheaton, G. II. Choate and Admiral Klnaban and Mrs. Kinaban. More than 400 guests attended the banquet of the American Society in London at the Hotel Cecil this evening and a brilliant galaxy of ladles viewed the function from the gallery of the banqueting room. As a display of patriotism and Anglo-Saxon good fellowship the affair was not excelled even by the famous banquet given last year. While the Interest of that occasion was stimulated by the great naval victory at Santiago, to-night's festivities were signalized by the Introduction of Mr. Choate, tho United States ambassador, to fellowship in the society. They were also rendered additionally significant by the presence of United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who introduced the free Cuba resolution in the Republican convention at St. Louis, and of Senator Hawley and William McKlnley Osborne, United States consul general in London, both of whom sustain the closest personal relations with President McKlnley. AN EAGLE ON A PEDESTAL. The banqueting room was not only richly flagged with the American and British colors, but a huge American eagle was perched on a pedestal immediately behind the chairman, J. Walter Earle, president of the society. On the right of the chairman sat Cardinal Herbert Vaughan, archbishop of Westminster, and on his left Mr. Choate. At the same table sat also the Earl of Rosse, the Earl of Dartmouth, the Earl of Warwick, Admiral Sir Richard Tracey, president of the Royal Naval College; IJeut. Gen. Sir Henry Brackenbury, president of the ordnance committee; United States Consul General Osborne, James Boyle, United States consul at Liverpool; Lieut. J. C. Col well, naval attache of the United Statea embassy; Henry White, secretary of the embassy; Col. S. S. Sumner, United States military attache; Mr. Allen, United States minister to Corea; S. L. Clemens (Mark Twain) and Bishop Hendrlx. After the toast to the Queen, which was proposed by Mr. Earle, Rev. Dr.' Henry Montague Butler, master of Trinity Collegeproposing the health of President McKlnley, referred to him eloquently as "a President who rules In an unequalcd atmosphere of love and personal esteem." Newton Crane toasted the United States ambassador. Mr. Choate responded in the most dignified and statesmanlike address he has yet delivered in England, praising the AngloSaxon alliance, but assuring Americans that they cannot be English, and asserting that an American must be an American. "When an American, on hearing I was to come to England," said the ambassador, "cried out: God save the Queen he completed my outfit, for when a man couples 'Prosperity to the American people with that other sentiment he gives an American ambassador the fullest credentials and all the diploma he needs." The speaker declared the Anglo-American alliance was no new thing, as was evidenced by the lowering of British flags In the channel fleet on the death of Washington, by the sorrow for Lincoln and by the honest grief at the demise of Garfleld. He also referred in eloquent terms to England's sympathy during the recent war with Spain, and concluded his remarks by, proposing "The day we celebrate." Senator Lodge responded with a most patriotic expression of the determination of the American people to carry on and carry out the war In the Philippines "not selfishly, but for the civilization of that people." Mark Twain also responded to the same sentiment, keeping the company most of the time in peals of laughter, but closing with this pathetic reference to the alliance: "Wherever one soldier finds himself beneath the shelter of the other's flag he knows he Is not an alien but a kinsman of the blood, and at home." Cardinal Vaughen responded to the "Community of English-speaking Nations," saying the destiny of any new century depended on the question whether the despotic power noxr looxnin? In ccrta Aria cr tb

liberty-loving Anglo-Saxon was to control the great uncivilized East. Other toasts followed.

There was a picturesque and Impressive ceremony at the Nieuve Kirk this morning. The church was filled with delegates, diplomats, high officials and women. The ceremony began with a chorus, singing Mendelssohn's "How Lovely are the Messengers that Bring Us Good Tidings of Peace," after which A. P. C. Van Karnebeck, the former foreign minister and head of the Dutch delegation at the peace conference, who presided at today's ceremony, briefly outlined Its programme. He said: "Nowhere has the conference met with heartier sympathy than in the United States, and It is as a token of this feeling and acknowledgment of the reception of the conference by the Netherlands that the American deelgates, In the name of their government, desire to pay tribute to the memory of Hugo Grotius. In order to give this additional significance they have chosen for Its accomplishment their great national feast day." After the national hymn of the Netherlands had been sung Andrew D. White, the United States ambassador to Germany and head of the American delegation to the peace conference, In a long, scholarly address paid an eloquent tribute to Grotius, "to carry out whose Ideas are assembled delegates from all nations." Mr. White added: "I feel that my own country unites not only in her gratitude, but In that of the civilized world." After tracing Grotius's work and the effect of his ideas Mr. White said: "From this tomb of Grotius I seem to hear a message to go on with the work of strengthening peace and humanizing war, and. above all, to give the world at least a beginning of an eftective, practical scheme of arbitration.". At the end of his address Mr. White laid on the tomb of Grotius in behalf of his colleagues a wreath of silver oak and laurel leaves bearing the inscription: "To the memory of Hugo Grotius on the occasion of the peace conference at The Hague, in reverence and in gratitude of the United States." The wreath was three feet in diameter and was in a big beach case ornamented, bearing the inscription: "To the government of the Netherlands from the United States on the occasion of the conference." The names of the delegates to the peace conference follow. The address of acceptance was made by Dr. W. 11. de Beaufort, the minister of foreign affairs and president of the ministerial council of the Netherlands. He said: "To-day's ceremony will make a deep imfression throughout the country. We Holanders are proud of our country, its glorious history and the memory of our great men. We are pleased to see them appreciated by foreigners and the citizens of a country for which we have such respect and regard. We are closely connected with the historical traditions of America. The first settlers on the banks of the Hudson were Hollanders, and we shall always remember with a certain pride that it was a Dutch c&ptain who first saluted the stars and stripes. To-day we salute your starspangled banner in our own country. Your country is one of the largest In the world, ours is one of the smallest: but we have one thing in common, which is that we both won our country and its independence by our own valor." In conclusion Dr. De Beaufort said he hoped to-day's ceremony and wreath would act as a stimulus to future generations In their exertions in behalf of still further reforms In international law, and that the wreath would be an everlasting emblem of the historical friendship of America and Holland. President Seth Low, of . Columbia University, and a delegate to the conference, in returning thanks said: "We do not make light of what we owe to England, but we gladly admit that we owe to Holland in a large measure many of the things which we count as most precious In our heritage." The ceremony concluded with the singing of "The Star-spangled Banner." Baron Blldt, head. of the Norway delegation to the conference, announced that he had received a telegram from King Oscar associating his homage with that paid at Delft to Grotius. The Grotius statue, the church and the town hall were profusely decorated with American colors. Reception at Lima. LIMA, Peru, July 4. Irving B. Dudley, the United States minister, and Mrs. Dudley gave a very successful reception In honor of Independence day at the legation to-day.

There was a general display of American and British flags on the public and private buildings today. Visits to the United States consulate were popular. The same state of affairs prevailed at Port Antonio. Reeeptlon at Rome. ROME, July 4. The United States charge d' affaires, Lewis M. Iddings, first secretary of the embassy, gave a reception this afternoon at the Hotel s Continental, which was largely attended. Most of the Americans In the city were present. ' SWEEriXG 'THE U. S. BUNT. Uonse-Cleanlns Day a Very Important One There. Philadelphia Telegraph. Within the next few days the annual housecleaning of the United States n?int will commence, and while it is going on the money factory will be closed to visitors. It is the custom to furbish up the mint about this time every year, and two weeks are usually devoted to the work. Pipes which have been eaten out by the strong acids used in coining will be replaced ani the boilers of the engines will be cleaned. While the mint will be closed to visitors and all coinage operations cease the banking and depository departments and the cashier's office will be kept open lor the transaction of business. Thousands of dollars worth of gold are found annually among the sweepings of the mint, but this gold was never lost. The art of coinage has been reduced to such a fine point that, given a certain quantity of bullion during the 'year, the coiner at the mint must turn out a certain amoui.t of coin. The leeway of waste is allowed for almost to a grain, and it Is upon the sweepings of the institution, with their thousands of dollars of hidden gold dust, that the coiner counts to escape being made an involuntary defaulter. That is the reason why every washstand In the mint does not let the water escape in which the employes have washed their hands until It has percolated through a blanket. These pieces of blanket are changed regularly and are faithfully preserved. When housecleaning time comes and they are burned with the rest of the dirt, the tiny, invisible specks of gold that came from off the employes' hands amount to a tidy sum. The dally sweepings of the mint go Into what is known as the "sweep cellar." On this occasion every nook and cranny of the mint is swept with equal diligence and care. Even the roof is swept. And so valuable are the gleanings there that a specially provided funnel catches the sweepings and drops them into a clay-bottomed well. The clay is dug up, dried and removed to the sweep cellar for utilization In connection with the other dirt. Into this golden dirt pile go any odd pieces of rubbish that may have accumulated during the year. The very shoes the workmen have worn and the leather gloves with which they handled pigs of metal become so grained with precious dust that they are well worth being ground up with the rest of the odds and ends. All the dirt is finally assayed, and with the rating of its assay is sold to the highest bidders, who are usually smelters. These sweepings have netted Uncle Sam as much as J10.00O. The responsibility for bullion worked up in the mint is divided between the official who fills the post of rnelter and refiner and him who has charge of the coining. The melter and refiner gets the bullion first. from him it goes to the coiner. Each cf these consignments is weighed in a separate balance by the government, and each has to watch the waste closely or come out of the little end of the horn. One would think tho government had tied them down pretty wen wnen n nxea tne rouowing legal limit of waste allowed: Melter and Refiner Waste In' gold, .Got' waste in sliver, .0015.

The appearance of bubonic plague in Egypt has caused a feeling of very Justifiable uneasiness here, as Italy, owing to her geographical position and to the fact that most homeward-bound vessels from the Kast touch at one or other of her ports. Is perhaps the country of Europe most exposed to the attacks of the terrible malady. Although the sanitary authorities decided on the 2Sth ult. to grant free patrique to an snips navmg only touched at Egyptian ports without taking passengers or car go on ooard from lmected or suspicious localities. I am informed that this lenient measure will soon be revoked and quarantine enforced if any further cases of plague occur at Cairo or Alexandria. I have interviewed Dr. John C. Sundbcrg. of San Francisco, who is at present in Rome, and who, it will be r-rnembered. as president of the section of hygiene and demography at the Washington medical congress or 1S33, expressed pome views which caured considerable stir In scientific circles. As American consul in Bagdad during three years, and also from his experience in the far Kast. India and Arabia, he has had unique opportunities to study bubonio plague and Its causes. Dr. Sundberg expressed the emphatic conviction that the only way of saving Europe from an appal ling epidemic would be to exercise an international control, backed by military power, over the Mecca pilgrimage. The pres ent quarantine stations at Camaroon ana at Thor are, he said, perfect farces, and the military cordons established to protect the overland routes will open before an In significant bribe. Dr. Sundberg. however, thinks that noth ing can stop the slow, onward movement of the plague towards Europe. Sooner o later it must come, and modern science will be noweiless to stop its ravages. A proof of this is that, although perfect anitatlon prevails at Hong-Kong and at uombay. which for natural and scientific advantages are unrivaled in Asia, still they cannot shake off the plague. In the doctor s opinlon-the bubonic plague is already creeeping in two sluggish cur rents towards Europe, one traveling west wards from China, with the lammestricken districts of Russia for its immediate objective, and the other from Egypt towards Naples or Marseilles. "It may be another year coming,' said Dr. Sundberg, "for Its march is proverbially slow, but when It once takes a firm hold in Europe it will not depart for at least four years. There is a curious similarity between the events of the last fifty years and those which preceded tho great black death of 1346. but 11 l were to ten you an the reasons which convince me that a repetition of that terrible and mj-sterlous epidemic is not far off it might make you feel rather uncomfortable." Vnlue of Certain Foods. Ainslie's Magazine. "One Interesting result of the experiment! that have been made by Professor Atwater is the proof of - the wisdom of certain food combinations which man has adopted. Bread and meat, or meat and potatoes, go well together, because each supplements the other. The Scotchman's oatmeal and herring, with the other articles which make up his familiar diet, supply the needed elements in healthful and economical proportions. Pork is altogether too largely composed of fat to make a meal by itself, but pork and beans balance each other well. The beans are made up almost entirely of protein and carbo-hydrates to offset the fat of which the pork mainly consists. In certain rural sections of the country a staple supper dish is cornmeal mush and milk. The experiments prove that this is one of the best proportioned as well as one of the most economical of foods. While experience has been a great teacher in leading us to favor certain dishes, it has misled us in regard to others. The "hog and hominy" diet of the South, for example, is undesirable alone, because it is deficient in strength-giving power as compared with its fuel value. The rice of theHindus and the potato of the Irish are likewise open to the objection of providing too little protein and too much carbon to be advantageous as the sole material of a diet. Aside from the matter of providing the nutritive elements in correct proportions, there are numberless considerations of taste and individual preference to be taken into account In determining the diet of any particular person."
