vas interviewed a" to the probable effect f lhe capture of Aguinaldo. He exprese 1 the greatest sutifetfe,:i nt the news or the capture, ami said lh.it he thought th'.J would ready wind up tho period of resistance. Ilo aho paid: "Of course, wc had the warning a lew days ai,o that It misht occur. Ira: it looked JiUo a wry risky Undertaking, and if Fun.-ton hid Iot In--life rwry tr.o would havo said. l told you fo." U appear to bo a v ry creditable riree of work on the part of Funston and keeping with his previous exploits. It a. Jn fact, a case of lighting the devd with lire. If a large force h i I sotiu against Aguinaldo ho would not have been lound. ,but tiiis was a kind of strategy of th( ir "own thought and appears to have succeeded perfectly. "Agnlnaldo is a n:ot amiable little IIow. " He does not have the- education with uMcii he has been r lit 1. and he was not rt ailv the brains of the Insurrection. Mabini was nally the brains of the Filipino nbi:ioM. and Agulr.nldo was the active leider. I admit 1 did not give him credit f;ir the abilities that he lias shown, but he certainly In r.ot a man of very grr.at ntilitv. One thing I wonWr about is thst the ui-ralehes to-d.iv from Manila describe him as 'talking freely. When I first saw l.iin he was notably reticent, and a pood eal of his strength came from the fact that lie did not talk much. The people believed he was invulnerable, however, and that no harm could be done him. There was a story currmt, in fact, that a dozen men had stood up and bred at him as a test. 1 suppose there were no bullets In the guns. That story went everywhere. The people are intensely superstitious, and they believed no harm could befall him. It will take some time now for the news to get around, and at first the people will refuse to believe it. but after the news does finally pet around through the islands I fully believe that organized resistance will collapse. Of course, there will be spasmodic disorder for a long time to come, but I do not believe there will be anything serious." "What do you think ought to be done with Aguinaldo now?" "Well, it seems to mo that as good a thing as could be done for the present vould be to send him to Guam. It is the Fame sort of a climate as in the Philippines, and there would be no hardship in the change, but there would be no chance to lose." Admiral Dewey continued: "Looking over the events of the past two years, I am tometlmes impressed with the idea that j.ossibiy the trouble with the Filipinos might have been avoided; but when I say that I say it because hindsight is a great ieal better than foresight. 1 have no criticism for any one, but It can be seen now how the Americans who first went there hurt the pride of the Filipinos. If we had made a greater effort to Hatter them it is possible the thing" would have gone more smoothly, but I wish to say that at the bfglnnlng I don't believe Aguinaldo ha 1 nny idea of independence at all. They simply hated the Spaniards. They hated them, I say, and they wanted to get rid of them In any way possible. They looked upon us as their deliverers, and they did everything we told them to. Afterwards, I think it was simply a case of success turning a man's head in the case of Aguinaldo. 1 don't believe that at first he had any ida of attempting to set up an independent republic. As to the matter of our relations with the Filipinos, its history has never yt been written. I have all the letters and documents pertaining to it. and I expect some day to write a history of the affair. When all of the documents are published it will be perfectly clear that no obligations rested upon the American forces to treat the Filipinos as allies. Aguinaldo was always, as I said, a most amiable man, und, personally, I would. not wish him the fclightest harm, but I believe, as I said, that his capture means the end of organized resistance."

AKOXCILI.O I IMIUS. Ho Says There Are Others to Take the Place of Anliuildn. PARIS, March 23. A representative of the Associated Press to-day communicate. 1 to Agoncillo, the Filipino agent, the news of the capture of Aguinildo. Agoncillo. who occupies a nicely furnished apartment In a house in a central Paris street, apparently surrounded by every comfort, laughed and said: "I do not believe it. f. have received nothing by cable, and until I receive confirmatory advices I shall continue to ignore the news." Asked, if the announcement was true, what effect ho thought It would have on the insurrection, Agoncillo replied emphatically: "None, except the loss of a true patriot and a clever general. The feeling of the Filipino people and their determination to fight out the struggle for Independence will remain unshakable. I received a cablegram only yesterday which convinced me that the Philippine leaders have not modified their persistent attitude regarding the continuance of the war. "Whatever disaffeetions may havo taken place in favor of the Americans, the Philippine people as a whole are resolved to accept nothing short of independence." When Agoncillo was asked what effect the capture of Aguinaldo would have on the campaign, he said a council of the Kalling Filipinos would simply meet and elect another military chief to prosecute the war, adding that, although even Aguinaldo and his general utaff were all captured, many able generals remain. Agoncillo was asked who was likely to be chosen to succeed Aguinaldo, and said Ins thought General Alejandrino might be selected, as he was a clever military leader and enjoyed the confidence of the people. In reply to a question as to whether the Filipinos had enough moncv to continue the war Indefinitely. Agon-lilo smiled and replied: "That is our affair." AM OF (lE 31 IM).

war for the present, but the objection to Imperialism Is not removed by the surrender of those who have been opposing it in the Philippines. Imperialism is wrong because it changes every theory of government. We cannot administer an empire In the Orient and maintain a republic in America." DKNVKU. Col.. March 2S.-Unlted States Senator Henry M. Teller was inclined to doubt the capture of Aguinaldo until snown the Washington dispatches giving the official confirmation of the report. He then said: "The capture of Aguinaldo is important, of course. It is valuable to eliminate ftlm from further operations in the Philippines, but I am sorry to say that his capture will not. close the war by any means. I am of opinion that we sha'.l still have difficulties there because of the general sympathy of the people, according to General MacArthur's statement, wit?i the Insurgents. General MacArthur has reported that the people, are united aga.'nst us, and I am afraid that is true." COLUMP.FS, O.. March 23. John J. Lentz gave out the following interview on the capture of Aguinaldo: "Agulnaldo's capture does not mean that militarism and Imperialism have been repudiated by the present administration. It does not mean that all patriotic men who are willing to die for liberty in the Philippines have been captured. The fact that Aftulnaldo has been able to carry on a war for more than two years against such a gigantic nation as the United States ought to demonstrate that the love of liberty is still In the' hearts of millions of people." .

He "Wanted PermUnloii to Capture Him In February, 1SI). KANSAS CITY, March fc 28. General Funston, while colonel of the Twentieth Kansas Regiment, in February, lSLtf, submitted his first plan to capture Aguinaldo to General MacArthur, who rejected it because of the lack of soldiers, according to a story of a member of the Kansas City Star's editorial staff, who served under the Kansas officer at the time. Just previous to the outbreak of Feb. 4. Aguinaldo maintained his headquarters at Calooean. He was a familiar figure to the members of the Twentieth Kansas Regiment, then commanded by General Funston. It was necessary for him to pass the Kansas outpost guard on his way from Caloocan to Manila, to which placet he rrad? frequent trips until three days before the beginning of hostilities. Despite the fact that he had become well known to the Kansas sentinels they would always insist upon his dismounting and showing th? pass signed by General Ctis uMmittlng him to enter and leave the city. Following the capture of Caloocan, Feb. 10. many of the insurgents retreated to Malabon, a city of some size, located on a strii) of land jutting out to sea. Immediately eouth of Caloocan, and accessible from Caloocan by a wide stone bridge. Colonel Funston submitted a plan to General MacArthur to capture Aguinaldo. "I can take a hundred men, cross that bridge, capture the town and Aguinaldo before they can recover from the confusion into which we have now thrown them," enthusiastically exclaimed Funston to General MacArthur. . "You can do it if anybody can," said Gen. MacArthur, "but tho men cannot be spared." M J. fiKSf. H. S. OTIS. Hon" 3IncArtliur' Predecessor Vieira the Capture of Aeulnuldo. CHICAGO, March 23. Gen. K. S. Otis, formerly in command of the army in the Philippines and now in command of the Department of the Lakes, expressed satisfaction to-day over the capture of Aguinaldo. "The influence of Aguinaldo has been waning for some time," said General Otis, "therefore the importance of the capture is not so great as might be supposed. He has been a fugitive in hiding lor so long that a large number of his followers have dropped away and a great majority of people are tired of the whole thing tired of being robbed and tired of warfare. In fact, affairs in the Islands are as quiet now as they have been for twenty-five years under Spain. There, are only two Filipino officers of any importance now left in the islands who tili maintain their hostility to the United States. These are General Calles and General Duchan. The former is now hiding in the mountains of the east coast of Luzon; the latter is in central .Luzon with a small band. "As to the effect the capture of Aguinaldo will have on our affairs in the islands. I believe it will hasten the time when peace will be restored. Of course the United States will have to protect the people for some time to come, but 1 think that in the course of a few months or a year the people may be able to protect themselves largely. Ihe capture will result in a decrease of military demonstrations in the Philippines. Aguinaldo was once looked upon by the Filipino people as a little god, but this sentiment has been lost almost completeiv. 1 believe that Aguinaldo is personally honest, but he has been actuated by individual ambition." ANTI-IMPERIALISTS .TALK. Show "o Evidence of Intend Inj; to Surrender SIxto Lopez Aain. BOSTON, March 23. News of the capture of Aguinaldo was received in Uo.vton with various sentiments, but it seemed to be the general opinion to-day that the event following others of importance lately announced would cause In the Philippints the collapse of organized resistance to the United States. Secretary Krving Winslow, of the Antlimperiaiistic League, said that he was not ready to state that the capture ef Aguinaldo meant the collapse of the causo. "There may be twenty other leaders in hiding as capable as he," said Mr. Winslnv. "The Filipinos have shown that thjy have ability to rule and ability to light for liberty. This should lead us. even if the fighting should cease with the capture of Aguinaldo. to urge more forcibly even than we have done, that the Filipinos be given an independent government at once." Former Governor of Massachusetts George S. IJoutwell, president of the AntiImperialist League, refused to discuss the aspect of the Filipino cause in view of the capture of Aguinaldo. Edward Atkinson said: "The administration had an elephant on its hands minus the trunk. Now that it has the trunk, what will it do with the whole animal?" Sixto Lopez, formerly secretary to Aguinaldo. who last right said that the capture of Aguinaldo would not necessarily end the war. to-day amplified that statement by saying that any one of the principal generals, Tinio. Mascardo, Alejanelrino. Callles or Arejola, would make as good, or, in the opinion of many Filipinos, Letter leaders than Aguinaldo. It is impossible to say what leader will take Agulnaldo's place." said Lopez. "I presume there will be .a council of generals to decide the matter. It would be idle," he continued, "to suppose that Agulnaldo's capture, assuming that it is a fact, will l ave no effect upon the Flllplros. Rut the effect upon the war will to some extent depend upon the way In which Aguinaldo is treated. It would be best, as a matter of policy, I should say, for the United States government not to deal severely with him. Otherwise it will make the Fllipinor: even more determined, if that were possible. Naturally, I think the United States government ought to treat with him and obtain an authoritative statement of the desires of the Filipinos. But? it Is not at all probable that the government will do so." HH AVOULD HONOR AGUINALDO. J. G. Schnrman Favori Hin Appointment as n Civil Governor. ITHACA, N. Y., March 2S. President J. G. Schurman, of Cornell University, who was head of the first Philippine commission, to-day gave his views on what he considers should bo done with Aguinaldo. He said: "Our object is good government in the Philippines. We seek no punishment, no vengeance. We have already used a considerable number of men who had been active In Agulnaldo's government or army to aid In carrying on the work of pacification and government. Now, Aguinaldo has shown that he possesses administrative gifts of high erder. and just as soon as he follows his late colleagues In taking the oath of allegiance and accepting American sovereignty we should utilize his gifts In fulfillment of our task of governing the, archipelago I should think It highly appropriate to appoint him governor of Cavite, Bulacan or some other Tagolog province. In any event there should be amnesty for the past and a new departure in the direction of hearty co-operation between th

Americans and Filipinos which, by direction of President McKinley, it was part of tho business of the commission over which I had the honor to preside to announce, promote and cultivate. "Now that the Insurrection Is over tho greater problem of government confronts us. It Is to be solved by our using the natural leaders of the Filipinos In high office and giving the different peoples all self-government, municipal ami provincial, of which they are capable, as well as representation in the general government at Manila, which must, however, be kept under American control." LIEUT. GUX. X. A. .MILES.

He Relieves Aguinaldo Capture AVI11 DNheurten His Follower. BOSTON, March 2S. General Nelson A. Miles said to-day regarding the capture of Aguinaldo by General Funston: "In my opinion this will tend to settle all trouble in the Philippines. The capture of their leader Is sure to dishearten Agulnaldo's followers, and although there may be more or less trouble for some time with small bands in different parts of the islands, I believe that the backbone of the trouble is broken. No doubt there are other naen among the Filipinos who are perfectly capable of taking Aguinaldo's place, as he Is not a man of any great magnetism or ability, but I do not believe that; after this capture, there will be much enthusiasm under any leader." General Miles would not express any opinion as to what should be done with Aguinaldo. Gen. It. A. AIg;erM Opinion. DETROIT, Mich., March 2S. Ex-Secretary of War Russell A. Alger said, to-day, that the capture of Aguinaldo would, in his opinion, result in the resistance of the insurgents rapidly fading away. Said he: "The man's personality and the superstitious light in which he was held by his ignorant followers has long been a potent element in holding together even the feeble resistance that our troops have been meeting for months past. 1 believe the insurrection now will speedily go to pieces. I believe that It will take time, though, to bring about peace among the islands. Luzon is a large; island, as large as Cuba, and the country is wild, and guerrilla warfare may continue for a long time. I have never met General Funston personally. He is certainly a man of great ability and has made a great record for himself in the Philippines. It was a clever and brilliant bit of strategy, and means more than winning many desultory bottles in the inland jungles." Other Filipino Leader at Lnrgp. DENVER, " Col., March 2S. Col. A. W. Corliss, who returned last week from the Philippines, was highly pleased to learn of the capture of the rebel chieftain Aguinaldo. "The question now is what will we do with him?" said Colonel Corliss. "I do not consider the capture of Aguinaldo the most important thing that could have happened, though it may have the effect to send all the rebels to tumbling in to surrender as fast as they can. General Trias, who surrendered a few elays ago, was more important, to my mind, than any of the other fellows. The Filipinos have-come to appreciate that a hero who hides out in the bushes and keeps away from the front as much as possible is not much of a hero, and Aguinaldo has lost his old-time prestige. Now I hope to hear of the capture or surrender of General Callles. He has more Influence and following than Aguinaldo has had. When he Is captured or surrenders hostilities will be near an end." Evan Would Have Killed .gul11al1lo. BOSTON, March 2S. Rear Admiral Evans said, to-day: "I would not say that the capture of Aguinaldo will break the backbone of the trouble in the Philippines, because I believe that It is already broken, but It will do much towards bringing about a final settlement." "What do you think the government will do with Aguinaldo?" was asked. "I know what I would have done with him," was the answer. "I would not have caught him alive. It sounds rather brutal, but the easiest way to find a man like Aguinaldo would be to find him dead. However, I don't think he will be punished severely. as the President usually shows clemency." Towne Snys It Im a Shame. IONIA, Mich.. March 2S.-At the annual banquet of the Albert Williams Club tonight ex-Senator Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota, was the chief speaker, his subject being "The Spirit of Democracy." "The Filipinos will continue to fight," he declared, "even though Aguinaldo has been captured. Funston's raid is the outcome of treachery and a shame to America." He declare-d that the country was never facing so great a crisis as now. He said there was no excuse for a standing army, and charged treachery on the part of America in the Philippines. AVill Invite Him to Xew Albany. NEW ALBANY, Ind., March 28. Col. Jewett, L'nited States army, now stationed at the quartermaster's depot here, enjoyed the friendship of Aguinaldo while in the Philippines and was the recipient of the Filipino leader's hospitality while his headquarters were at Malolos. Colonel Jewett was well acquainted with the mother and other members of Aguinaldo's family. He said to-day: "Now that Aguinaldo i.- in the preparatory stage of becoming nr. American citizen i will, as soon as practicable, invile him to visit me at New Albany. Congratulation front German. BERLIN, March 23. German officials congratulate the United States upon the capture of Aguinaldo and express their satisfaction that order will now be established in the Philippines, since German trade had suffered by reason of the war. Dr. Levysohn. editor of the Berliner Tageblatt,, says this means the end of the war. The Tageblatt, in an article publisher! to-day, says it is glad the time has come for the United States to realize a plan of establishing American government in the Philippine islands. Gllniore Iln Henon to Rejoice. NORFOLK, Va., March 2S. Lieutenant Commander Gilmore. who. with many of his men. was held prisoner for many months by the insurgents in Luzon, rejoices to hear of thr? capture of Aguinaldo. Commander Gilmore is aboard the receiving shi: Franklin here. He thinks the capture of the insurgent chieftain will deprive the Filipinos of the directing genius of their guerrilla campaign and bring the war to a close. Elder Funston Lived in Indiana. The brilliant capture of Aguinaldo, the Filipino leader, by Gen. Fred Funston, of Kansas, was yesterday given a strong tinge of local interest when it was recalled that Fred Funston, sr., father of the renowned American officer, was for many years a resident of Indiana. "Gen. Fred Funston's father lived for many years on a farm next to one owned by Peter Carnine, an uncle of mine," said R. A. Brown last night, "and for a number of terms he taught school In district No. 1, in Franklin township, near Franklin. My older brothers went to school to him. After the elder Funston went to Kansas he entered politics and was known as 'the farmer politician and was elected to Congress for two terms from Allen county, Kansas, his home being near Iola." Senator IleverldKe' View. Senator Beveridgo believes that the capture of Aguinaldo. the leader of the rebellion in the Philippines, will cause the present guerrilla warfare to decrease rapidly in vigor and volume. "Now that Aguinaldo is captured." said tne senator, "if his friends la America will only try the experiment of rallying around the Nation's colors and present an unbroken front to those who in arms are as!ailinj- our Hag they will help the cause of liberty and civilization more even than the capture of Aguinaldo helps that cause." Altgcld Denounce Carter Harrison. CHICAGO, March 2s. In the presence of S.00O people, who filled every pause in his speech with cheering, John I. Altgeld, Democratic ex-Governor, to-night, from the Auditorium stage, fervidlj' denounced the administration of Mayor Carter H. Harrison. Mr.' Altgeld pleaded with the "independent" Democrats and his other hearers to support Judge Elbrldge Hanecy and the entire Republican ticket in the city eJtcticn nest vreek.

METHODS TOO SEVERE

ItlSSIAX STLDCXTS DRIVEN INTO LEAGUE WITH REVOLUTIONISTS. Policy of the Government in Dealing; with IJturhnnce May Caune Much Trouble in Future. NEW YORK, March 2S. The World today publishes the following dispatch from St. Petersburg, dated March 25, and mailed to Berlin, in order to escape the censor: "The distinguishing and the gravest feature of the present disturbances in Russia is the evidence of an organized combination for the first time between the students and the v.orkingmen of an obstinately revolutionary character. The government has driven the students into the arms of the labor party. The minister of public instruction, who was assassinated, was the worst type of a Russian bureaucrat. His Administration was marked by continual petty persecution of the students. The petition prepared by eminent professors and certain senators, invoking the personal intervention of the Czar, was another proof of the panic prevailing in official circles, but the presentation of this petition was prevented by higher officials. Another striking feature of this outbreaK Is the refusal of large numbers of the dvorniks, or yardmen, who act as a species of police reserve, to assist the regular police In repressing the disorders, thus manifesting sympathy with the people. No doubt is entertained here that the outbreak will be quelled eventually, but it will only be done at an incalculable cost of life and suffering." KletKel'M Policy Criticised. ST. PETERSBURG, March 2b It is confidently expected that Lieutenant General Kliegel, the prefect of police, will be given a Siberian governor generalship. A ministerial circular this morning contained what is regarded as a severe criticism of Kleigel's policy of making arrests after the outbreak of the students' troubles instead of forestalling them. The wrangle with Lieutenant General Viasemski In the cathedral, which caused the resignation of Viasemsky, is also hurting Kleigel. It is reported that Grand Duke Vladimir is organizing a mediation committee for the purpose of inquiring into the complaints of the students and endeavoring to persuade them to behave. A story comes from the hospitals to the effect that nineteen students have already died from injuries received in the recent riots, presumably as a result of wounds inflicted by the leaden bullets which the Cossacks are alleged to have put on their whips. The students themselves report only two deaths, while the mortality statistics do not give a single death last week, except from disease. 3IiuIter Threatened. BERLIN, March 23. The Cologne Volks Zeltung prints correspondence from St. Petersburg asserting that the students' secret organization sent to the ministers of the interior and of war death sentences, and that the minister of the interior. In a decree dated March 25. forbade all papers to mention court proceedings arising out of complaints against recent police outrages. LABOE AND INDUSTRY. A number of American-built locomotives ordered by tho Bavarian government have arrived at Munich. They are expected to attain a speed of 120 kilometers an hour. The Stove Founders' Association and the Möhlers Union of North America in joint session at Chicago yesterday agreed on the same scale for the coming year as the one in force last year. The improvement in the strike situation at Marseilles continues. The city is resuming, to some extent, its ordinary aspect. About 3,000 men were at work yesterday on the quays. Beaumont. Tex., now has three gushing oil wells. The third one came in at G o'clock iast evening. Its output will equal that of the Lucas geyser, from which it is distant about a quarter of a mile. The Star tin plate works at Pittsburg, Pa., idle for about six months, will resume operations on April S and give employment to between 500 and 600 men. The Star works are owned by the American Tin Plate Company. The big Aragon mine at Norway, Mich., has been sold by Oglebay. Norton & Co., of Cleveland, to the United States Steel Corporation, and the latter will soon take possession. The deal has been pending for several weeks. The consideration is believed to be in the neighborhood of $2,ou0,0o0. The American Rolling Mill Company has purchased from the American Tin-plate Company the rolling mill plant of the lat ter concern in Muskegon, Mich. The mills havo been idle for a year. They will be operated at once with a force of fX0 men. J. H. Palmer and W. J. Moody, of Chicago, were the prime movers In the new enterprise. The new mining scale goes into effect next Monday, and there are two districts in Ohio, the Hocking Valley and subdlstrlct No. 5. in which the scale has not been signed. These two districts include about 12.5O0 miners, and it is feared there will be a suspension of work by them, on Monday. The hitch is over a change in the docking system. Several options were given yesterday by owners of furnaces in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys to the promoters of the proposed combination of the Merchant blast furnaces. The plans of the promoters contemplate the absorption of the furnace of the Clinton Iron and Steel Company on the South Side, Pittsburg, and the River furnace at Cleveland, O. According to statements made by prominent Chicago labor men. a movement is on foot to establish a uniformed rank in all labor unions. The movement is said to be meeting with much favor in all the labor organizations, and before next Labor day it is expected that many companies of men, uniformed and drilled in military tactics, will be found in the ranks of organized labor. An advance of 6 points in the price of Northwestern Elevated preferred In the Chicago market renewed the rumors of immediate consolidation of all the. elevated lines In the city. Clarence Knight, general counsel for all the old Yerkes lines, has gone to New York, but other representatives Of those interests declare that nothing in the line of consolidation is under way at present. ' There will be no strike on the Monongahela traction lines for the present at least. This much was decided at a meeting held yesterday morning at Pittsburg. National President Mahon, Chalrmnn Grundy, u the United Labor League, and other leaders present counseled delay, and it wa finally decided to postpone action until the return from the South of W. L. Mellon, president of the Monongahela lines, when a committee will place the grievances before him and request relief. Prominent prelates of the Protestant Episcopal Church are making a concerted effort to have all industries throughout the country closed down from Saturday until Monday morning so that the workmen may have a day of rest and an opportunity to go to church. The matter will be brought to the attention of Mr. J. P. Morgan. Rev. A. L. Frazer, rector of St. John's Episcopal Church. Youngstown, O., has laid the matter before the officials of the Republic Iron and Steel Company. One hundred million dollars worth of public contract work in New York city may have to be stopped because of a recent decision of the. State Court of Appeals that the law providing for a standard rate cf wages applied to public contracts is unconstitutional. If this decision Is to hold good ali of the contracts and agreements entered Into by Contractor McDonald for the construction of New York's new rapid-transit .ystem may have to be annulled. Controller Color, it is raid, lu.s the power to abrogate all such contracts and may be called on by labor leaders or taxpayers to do bo. Sir Christopher Furness, head of the Furness line of steamers and chairman of ti.e Irvines Ship Building and Dry Docks Company, has an article in the London Dally Mall this morning on how to best tight the American steel trust. He enters a strong protest against any form of protective duties, which, he declares, would be suicidal. He says he believes the growth of trusts will bring a reaction In the United States In favor of free trade, and that English manufacturers rhould devote their attempts to securing a reduction of the excessive railway Xreicnt charges and tfca

heavy royalties on mining and technical education and similar undertakings as the best way to meet American competition. State Food Commissioner Blackburn, of Ohio, has received the decision of Judge A. C Johnson, of the United States Circuit Court, of the Injunction cafe of the Arbucklcs against the food commissioner. The decision is in favor of the food commissioner on every point. The court is of the opinion that "ariosa" Is not a compound of coffee, sugar and eggs, but Is coffee cooled with a glaze made of sugar and eggs and Is adulterated within the meaning of the statute, and the manufacture and sale thereof, or offer for sale of the same, is a misdemeanor of the laws of Ohio. The conference held in Columbus between the Ohio officers of the United Mine Workers and those of the Jackson district and the operators of Eawrencc county in regard to the prices and conditions of mining in the Lawrence county coal field for the coming year resulted In a disagreement.
