Lord Oanoa of Kedleitoo, and Lady
Carson and the Duke and Duchess of
Gonnaushr, to-day reviewed the re
taioers of iba ruling chiefs In the Dur
br arena. The variety of costume
and paraphernalia afforded one of the
most striking plctttrea of the Durbar
featl Titles. Contingents from all parts
of Greater India participated, mostly
retaining the distinctive features of
their ojstoms. Tne flags and other
embl mi of the 8tate of Oatch were
c.rritd on camels and elephants, ac
companied by armed men on stilts,
while Arab irregulars danced past the
Ticeroy to the music of their own in
struments. The famous gold and all
er guna of the Bute of Baroda at
tracted much attention. The ancient
Mbaratta flags, descended from the
emperors, were borne past on an ele
phant carriage. The martial Rajapute
were clad in military armor.
8iaie barbs, camels, kettle drums,
richly caparisoned elephants and
borara and agile swordsmen, many
shouting battle cries, followed one
auotber in quick succession. A royal
elephant carris two atories high,

paoied the prinoes ! of by-gone
d?a. Tne retinue of the Slate or
Kisbmlr included a fine detachment
of cuirassiers and a huge giant:
The great 8ikh states were represent
ed by large soldier like bodies of men
armed with maoes, spear, matchlock!
and band grenades. Each contingent
was beaded by an elephant bearing
a gorgeous howdah, in one of whl ch
the sacred book of the 8ikhs occupied
the place or booor. Tne hook waa
guarded by the chief priest. The ven
erable Gotef Nobha, escorted by men
mounted on richly ' eopariaoned
horses and accompanied by hound
and hawks, waa a striking feature of
the display, whcb for; wealth and
coloring, diversity of components and
number of spectators may be consid
ered to bave been the most brilliant
of the Durbar displsy.
ANTITRUST LEGISLATION.

Bv Telegraph to me Horning Star.
WasHiaaTOW, Jan. 7. President
Rtoaetett had a conference to-day
with 8peaker Henderson and Bepre-
aentative Groavenor, of Ohio, with re
gard to propoaed anti-truat legislation.
Tee conference lasted for a consider
able time, the situation in the House
being discussed thoroughly. It Is an
deratojd that the President impressed
noon his callers, who went to the ex
ecutive office at his request, his desire
that some legislation dealing with the
trust q lestioa should be enacted at the
present aeaaion of Congress. No par
ticular messure was under discussion
and of course, none waa agreed upon.
The trust question is a moat diffi
cult one to handle in a legislative
way," said General Groavenor, as be
left the executive offices, "but I think
Borne measure will be enacted into
law at tbia aeaaion. It will be neces
sary to my mind to steer a middle
course between the desires or tbe radi
cal anti-trust people and those who
prorata to aee little evil in trusts or
combinations of capital. That auch a
course will b adopted by Congress I
have no doubt."
It la understood that during the con-
fer-oc to day tbe Question of bringing
the subject of trusts to the attention of
tbe ttouse in a formal way, at an
earlr dale, waa considered, but what
conclusion, if auy, waa reached, is not
koawn.

is leading the fight for the admission

thorizes tbe attorney, general of the

that the case ia of general public im

The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations to-day authorized Senator
Lodge to report favorably the general
international arbitration treaty recom
mended by the Pan-American con

linea of The Hague treaty, but appliea
only to the republics of the eaatern
bemispbere. It provides a tribunal lor
settling disputes as to boundary linea
and c'aims and also over other
questions concerning which nation a
differ. The opinion was quite general
that favorable action upon the agree
ment at thia time by the United Statea
would bave a good effect upon tbe set
tlement of the differences between
Venezuela and the European creditors
of that nation.
An interesting fact In connectioniwith
the preparation of the treaty la that tbe
Venezuelan representative In the con
ference refused upon the instruction
of his government to participate in the
formulation of tbe document.

Washington, Jan. 7. The Presi
dent to-day aubmitted to Congress the
third annual report of the Philippine
commission, with extensive appen
dices. Accompanying the Preaident'a
letter of transmittal was a letter from
Secretary Root making a strong plea
ror immediate help by Congress ror
the inhabitants of tbe archipelago.
in bia letter transmitting the report
and endorsing Secretary Boot's plea,
tne President say a: "l call your
special attention to the recommenda
tions contained in this letter of the
secretary of war. I most earnestly
feel that the enactment of the meas
ures already pending In your body for
the betterment of the Philippine
islands is Imperatively demanded by
the aituation in these islands
and aerioua calamity may come
from failure to enact them. Fur-,
thermore, I with equal earnestness
ask your attention to the recom
mendation of the aecretary of war In
the accompanying letter and urge its
adoption so that the sum of money
therein specified may be appropriated
for the uaea and in the manner like
wise specified, in order that the pres
ent distress in the Islanda may be
remedied."
Secretary Boot in hU letter to the
President say a:
"It seems to me tbat tbe conditions
resulting from tbe destruction by rin
derpest of ninety per cent, of the cara-
baos. tbe draft animala of the islands.
and tbe o rasequent failure of the rice
crop, followed by an epidemic of
cholera, are ao aerioua and distressing
as to call ror action by Congress be
yond tbat for which the commission
specifically ask. The removal under
the laws of Oongreaa of export dutlea
on goods shipped from the
Philippines to the United States
haa materially reduced the reve
nues of the island, while the
duties collected In the United
Statea upon importations from the
Philippines which under the same
lawa were to be turned over to the
Pbilippine treasury and were expected
to make good tbe deficit, have amount
ed to practically nothing. At the aame
time the decline in the price of ailver.
the evils of a fluctuating currency, and
the impoverishment of tbe people bave
reduced tbe government revenuea
wben they are most needed for relief
of the people."
Tbe aecretary recommends an appro
priation of $3,000,000 for expenditure
in distribution of supplies and upon
relief work. t

CHEMISTRY 6f7g'OOD1E&
ame Iatereatiaar Facts For Devotee
. aZ the Bakeahep.
In flour confections or cakes not sug
ar confections ior sweets proper the
principal substances nsed are floor,
milk, eggs and sugar. For confection
ery, the weaker and softer flours, con
taining much starch and little gluten,
are preferable, says a writer in The
Scientific American. Milk is nsed as a
nioistener Instead of water because ot
its richness, average pure new milk
containing 4 per cent of : fat, 3.6 per
cent of proteids, 4.5 per cent of sugar.
.7 per cent of ash, 8.8 per cent of non
fatty solids and 78.4 per cent of wa
ter. It Is not only the tat in the milk
that Is of service to the confectioner,
but also its proteids, : which, though
like the white of eggs; have no very
pronounced taste, yet j confer a full
ness of flavor which a simple solution
of lactose in water would not possess.
In baked goods the proteids of milk
produce a moistness and mellowness of
character, and new milk therefore
gives to confectionery richness through
Its fat, sweetness through Its sugar
and mellowness through its proteid.
Next to milk; eggs are one of the
most Important moistening agents to
the confectioner. In composition the
white of eggs consists of proteids dis
solved In water, while the yolk con
tains, in addition to the proteid, fat
and coloring matter. ! The white of
eggs may be viewed as a solution of
one part albumen in seven parts of
water, while In the whole egg about
two-fifths of tbe solids consist of fat
and three-fifths of proteid, while the
water of the whole egg amounts, rough
ly, to three-quarters of Its weight An
other moistening agent used , by con
fectioners is glycerin. U ,
Many aerating agents are nsed by
confectioners, the chief of them being
ammonium carbonate, : usually called
"ammonia," or j volatile sodium bicar
bonate, tartaric acid and cream of tars
tar. The chemical action of these on
the confectioner's paste is to change
the sugar present by fermentation into
alcohol and carbon dioxide gas, which
has the mechanical effect of distending
and lightening the dough. !
NEW USE FOR PRIED PEAS.
VtUlaed For Caarcoal to Mate th
Finest Smolceleaa Powder.
A most interesting place Is the in
terior of a powder factory, where fine
and special brands of smokeless pow
der and powder used for sporting pur
poses are made. Tbe smokeless pow
der, which, like all other gunpowder.
Is composed of the three Ingredients
charcoal, 'saltpeter and ' sulphur, re
quires a certain kind of charcoal,
which the manufacturers discovered at
tbe cost of a great deal of experiment
ing with fine cedar, boxwood, maple
and ash charcoal. . t
The special charcoal used in th
manufacture of smokeless and other
brands of fine; powder is made, sur
prising though; it may seem, of dried
peds. which are "burned" to charcoal
in kilns like any other vegetable ma
terial nsed for the same purpose. .These
dried peas make a very, fine and light
charcoal that Is In great demand in the
manufacture of fine gunpowder.
Lampblaelc Baa Rival.
Lampblack, which for hundreds and
hundreds of years has been the chief
Ingredient In dark pigments, may per
haps be eventually displaced by acety
lene black. The chief merit of tbe new
substance lies in Its freedom from
grease and therefore in Its more ready
manipulation, j It Is said that , acety
lene black is admirably adapted for
the uses ofthe: manufacturer of print
ing Inks.- The, high cost of acetylene
black is the only obstacle that bars its
general introduction, i

The Ion? three-quarter coat. will be
the style this winter for tbostv whose
height will euable them to wear- it.
These coats are made or velvet, ribbed
silk and even of brocades and are usu
ally worn over a waist or dress which
has a full fall of lace. Sometimes the
effect of the long coat Is also carried
out on the skirt in the shape of gored
flounces at even distances. These are
trimmed on the edges after the man
ner of tbe coat.
Loose coats of lace are very smart
for theater wear and accompany skirts
of pale colored broadcloth or crepe de
chine.
The princess .dress will be seen a
great deal this winter at smart func-
AFTEBXOON DRESS.
Ltlons, and robes of crepe de chine In-

women with auburn hair.
Tbe afternoon dress illustrated comes
from a well known French house. It
is of gray and white liberty silk trim
med with guipure monssellne and rib
bon velvet. The shirred skirt Is espe
cially worthy of notice, as it illus
