German Empire First, an inspection of the livestock before slaughtering, then an inspection- of the slaughtered meat, thus giving guarantee that no meat or 'meat products coining from diseased or unwholesome animals will go to the consumer either In the larger cities or small villages of the Ger man Emulre.

June 14 A spec'el to the Record from Hennosillo, Sonora, Mexi co, savs: General Lorenzo Torres has returned from an expedition to the country around Guamechita. whero the Yaqul Irdians have been committing many depredations on the settlers along the Yaqui River. At Vinerama, a band of Indians was en countered by the cavalry of General Tor res, and after a brief fight, three Indl- ans were killed and 10 taken prisoners. In another engagement, in which the pur suing cavalry took part, two Indians w ere killed and four men-, five women and six. .children were takenB prisoners.

Both houses bf Congress f av ored the. project to omit sheathing, hut the clause In the bill to that effect disap peared, at the last moment. The other two ships were not affected by the earlier stip ulation and the department has decided that they shall not te sheathed.

The bids ate expected to settle beyond dispute the actu al cost of sheathing. A clause is retained in the circular permitting the department 'to alter the batteries within six months after the contract Is signed, to provide for super-Imposed turrets. - The first three ships -have been named the Pennsylvania, the New Jersey and the Georgia, and the names Virginia and Washington are proposed for the others. The Portrait of a Statesman. New York Evening Sun. The Hon.

There Is nothing out of the way in the profile or what It reveals. It might have been taken any time these four years. It con tains no subtle rev elation, .no new hint of spiritual or Intellectual, development. The other picture Is -unique, however. For the psychologist, the political pnilosopher, the students of sociology, as well as all Bryanltes, it Is. full' of interest. .. It waa not modesty that caused the lead er of the pnrtj of calamity to turn the back of his head to the camera. The bald spot iritlnfates to all Democrats, so called, that they ought to love him for the dangers he has passed. It also- demon strates graphically the wear and tear of the "higher statesmanship. The thatch .from that dome- of thought has been car ried away by political storms. The bars surface Is a pathetic pledge of the great man's devotion to his own and his partVa Interests. It Is also possible that the Hon. William J. has dropped some hah through chagrin caused by the great pros perity of the country, a prosperity which has made his prophecies look vervr ridicu lous.

Code Bill "Was the Big gest That Ever Passed Congress Tarner'a Play to Galleries. WASHINGTON. June 10. The people of Oregon should feel that they are under many obl'gatlons to the members ot their delegation1" for their gallant fight for an appropriation for repairing the Jetty at the mouth "of 'the Columbia, $250,000 being carried "m" the sundry civil bill. The opposition to this amendment was most strong and determined. It was first refused altogether fn the House, but tacked on as 'an amendment In tho Senate. Wheri'the bill--went to confer ence, the conferees were determined to drop tho provision. At the suggestion of Representative Tongue, the original word ing of the amerdment was changed, so that the money was appropriated only for 'repairs. and this, Jm a measure, re assured omo of the conferees. But Joe Cannon was determined to knock it out. rMeanwhlle Representative Moody used his efforts with some of the members of the appropriations committee, to plead with their chairman to withdraw, his ob jections, and Cannon fmall agreed to leave the matter to the phalrman- of the rivers and harbors committee. Hero again came la the woric of Mr. Tongue, who argued and pleaded with Mr. Burton to recommend the retention of the amendment, inasmuch, as there, was a real yieldV uponcopdittonr that tfre .sum should be used froicly tor repairs, rje thftreupon went to-Mr, Cannon.', and-as- etlred him that he wouldJlko,to,have tho amendment retained. This pacjaedlh6 House conferees. During all this Itime the Oregon Senators were bringing nil possible influence to bear on" the Senaro conferees, and finally won them over to such an extent that when they saw tne Housead agreed to' the amendment, they softened, and the amendment "remained in the bill. It was a hard, long and de termined fight, but as- bey met with suc cess, the members feel amply repaid for their pains. Tmrner's Hollow Pretense. Just before- tho close of this Congress Senator Turner, 6f Washington, berated tho Senate and 'the Bepublican party generally, for not remaining in session and passing a bill which ho introduced to es tablish a court of pension -appeals. It was some time during: the taet part ot the month of May that the House passed a resolution providing' for'tti1' adjourn ment of Congress oh . June 6. ,Every Senator and every Reprcs6ntative ap parently labored diligently to secure an adjournment on that, day. and Whenev ef any talking was done It was done becaus6 the Senator doing, the talking dteired to get something fhrough for '.himself, and took-, hat. method of coercing the Senate: Senator Tu.rner .knew, as well as every other1 man, .that the intention was to adjourn on J,une 6. if" possible. It is not recorded that, -he or any other Senator made atiy objections to the- resolution of. adjournment fixing the date of June T, when, it wn6 brought before tho Senate. It Is probable that Senator Turner's speech caHlng"atteption to the fact that the Senate failed to pass a bill for a court., of nsion. appeals. Is one reason why the Republican party should be de feated this FalL'kBut eyervhody "aili re member ihat -understanding 'the Inten tion of Congress to adjourn -on June 6, Senator 'Tu'r'neJ.did''not, introduce the -bill until' June 5.

The Alaska, bill, whfch was paesed at the recent session enjoys the distinction of being the largest single bill that ever pass ed Congress. In bill form, it took up some 600 pages, making a good-sized book in itself. There was more money spent tn printing this bill than on any other here tofore. In the first place, when the bill was first introduced, several hundred copies were printed. It will be recalled that there was a House and a Senate bill, somewhat similar, but each of about the same size, and each was printed in equally large numbers. Then, when the Senate committee had acted upon the bill and offered Its amendments, another edi tion was put forth, showing the bill ae recommended by the Senate committee. Upon being passed by the Senate, there was still another print, which was quick ly followed by a separate print of the bill as amended by the House committee. This was tho last print aa a bill, bux 'when Congress had passed and the Presi dent signed the Alaska code, the entire measure was reprinted in a new form, much more concio and easily handled, and the Alaska code as it is ready for distribution makes a neat little volume of 2S4 pages. This bill wag not printed more times than" any other measure that goes through; the same process, but when tho size of the bill was considered, the enorm'ty of the work can be readily be Imagined. - TENEMENT-HOUSE BURNED.

The Post pub lishes an article stating that the Repub lican Congressional Campaign Committee has been endeavoring to collect ad a cam paign contribution a part of ""the extra month's .salary voted to the employes, ot Congress just before adjournment. The employes were Informed that any contri bution would be voluntary and many of them paid no heed to the communication, while others made a small contribution, so the amount collected will not exceed $1200 or 51500, instead of JlO.OOO or more, as had been expected. The extra month's salary voted to em ployes of Congress,- la accordance with a custom observed by both political panted when In power, amounted in the aggre gate to about JS0.000. The Republican em ployes were requested by note to call on Mr. Schrader at the Raleigh Hotel. Mr. Schrader was assistant secretary of the Congressional committee in the last campaign. When tbe-emploves called they were asked for campaign contributions and any Inquiries. &s to the amounts were J answered with thftj -suggestion that half or tneir extra motjin-'a pay would be 1 acceptable, but .thalontrlbutlons would oe voluntary ana iqe 'giver couia ux tne amount. The amount given ran all the way from $3 to'HoTjn one Instance, the Post) says, to a whola month's -salary. Many employ es learning from others the purpose, of, tjhe note sent them, did not call, so that the"total contribution was much smaller than expected. Mr. Schrad er, when seen regardipgthe matter, made the following statenyJnt; "I think no man 'who has made any cphrrloutlorf Itf, the campaign will say that fie has been subjected to the least coercion-, morally- or otherwise. No one has beenvasked to contribute any stated sum or any portion'Of Ms salary, and If" any such statements have been made they were made by persons who have not, so far, visited these headquarters."

LOUIS, June 14 The predictions that yesterday witnessed the beginning ot the end of the great street railway strike were corroborated today when the Police Department withdrew Its officers from all the ears and power-house3 oC the St. Louis Transit Company and re turned them to their regular beats. Thb Transit Company continues to augment Its force of nonunion men and its transpor tation facilities at a ratio that promises to see the system In full swing before many more dajs have paired. Much interest Is being shown by tl general public In the Coroner's Inquest at present in-progress over the bodies o1 strikers and a citizen killed last Sunday by members of the Sheriffs posse coml tatus. The testimony adduced at today's hearing does not deny that Deputy Sheriff; Marsh shot Frederick. Bohne, the clthf.cn. In question, but the witnesses disagreed as to the deputj 's prov ocatlon for shoot ing. There was testimony from about 35 witnesses, consuming three hours, after which the jury 'returned a verdict of homicide. A sensational feature of the In quest was the conflicting statements mada by wltnees as to whether Police Lieu tenant Stack ordered the Deputy Sheriffs I to fire on the crowd. Several of tha deputies testified that he ordered ther posse guard to shoot, while Stack de clared he did all In h'3 power to prevent the deputies from firing. The disappearance of Deputy Sheriff Marsh was a startling development at the Inquest. It Is believed that Marsh has left, the city. No further search will ba made for him probably, unless friends of the dead man seek to prosecute him, tho verdict of the Coroner's Jury being prac tically an exoneration. The day passed practically without Inci dent. It "Was Cnln's Job. Washington Post. ''Do jou do ou remember who, killed Abel?" asked the old man In the street car of the man on his right.
