He will move to strike out all after the

chairman of the foreign relations' com

today ask the attention of the senate to

said, that it should be passed within ten

Philadelphia, April 19. The supreme
court yesterday decided that the fine of
$100 imposed upon J. Otis Paul for - the
sale of oleomargarine contrary to the
state law of 1885, is not a violation of
the interstate commerce act. As a large
number of similar fines have been im
posed as a result of prosecutions con
ducted against oleomargarine-sellers by
j the National Dairyman's Protective As
sociation the decision is one of import
ance. ' The oleomargarine had been im
ported from outside the statein 10-pound
packages, which the court finds were
broken and sold in smaller portions,
thereby becoming part of the pommon
mass of property within the state. The
court's decision upholds the constitu

declares it is a police regulation neces
sary to protect public health.

Deeming the Demon.
Celestial Uproar.
New York, April 19. London dis
patches eay there has been an open col
lision between the European ministers
and the Chinese foreign office, and it
may turn out that Chinese diplomacy
with Europe will have an interest for
the United States. The Russian min
ister has broken away from the lead of
the German minister, and the French
minister has had orders from home to
support his Russian colleague at any
time he may choose. The difficulty
arises over the fact that the Chinese gov
ernment refuses to arrest Chan Han,
one of the authors of the outrages and
murders of the Christians last year. It
seems quite clear that they wish to do
no more than go through the forms, in
order to silence diplomatic complaints
of virtual complicity with the party
which provoked and executed the mur
derers of foreigners. Behind Chan Hau
and his accomplices are the people of
China.

sensation was created today by making

the authorities that Munoz was the
prime mover among the anarchists and

he goes back to England. He said today
that without the help of a lawyer he
could convince any jury, if he tried, that
he was innocent. He eats heartily, say
ing that he does not intend to go into a
decline because the authorities hold him
in jail a few weeks. The chaplain was
admitted to him on Friday and Deeming

He remarked, however, that he did not
