"Owing to the historical development

regulating meat Inspection, - which were
carried out in different wavs, according
to the importance wjhich the authorities

, "The new law will require two separate
inspections In the. German Empire First,
an inspection of the livestock before

The Portrait of a Statesman.
New York Evening Sun.
The Hon. William Jennings Bryan had
hir portrait, taken on bis farm, near .Lin

thls-year- Eherocess ls-aboue as -regular
inthe statesman's case as the com
inif of -breakfast or -bed. time. .But on
this, occasion: a peculiar interest 'attaches
to this work -ot art, as mty -be seen from
thijv most! casual Inspection- Details ot
rare interest -are brought". outln the sec

h!litrto fronutlfe eyee otthose )t the Jboy
orator's admirers. Khp nave .never sat beT
hlnd.binzrtn a platform. . .

.
Here we have Bryan, the nctor, as a
stern patriot, ready o sacrlflse himself
on the altar of public office. 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. Indeed.
Women have frequently had their back
hair "taken," but Brvan Is the first man
to do so.

HARD WORK' THAT WON
HOW 'THE APPROPRJATIOX" TOR
THEfCOLtJMBIA WjfS OBTAINED.
The Alaska. 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. It -was a till establishing tj.
crfurt bf five'-Judges.- giving them absolute
povver over all pifeion appeals. Instead ofr
baying. suc)i 'appeals settled in the Office
of the Secretary "of the Inferior, as at
present. The bill introduced by Senator
Turner Is very long and compneatea, ana
requires a great deal of consideration be
foraxlt should be enacted Into IawvAmt
yet he only Introduced it the day before
tho dato flxedln the -minds of everybody
for the adjournment'' of Cohgreso. The
able Washington Senator may have been
playing to the galleries ti little himself,
and especially to the, old soldier, but It Js
a quest'on whether Che old soldier orthe
people are to be deceived by any iuch
means. x"
Alaska BUI the Biggest.
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. -

INDIANAPOLIS. June 14. Attorney
General F. L. Taj lor. of Indiana, today
announced that he had discovered a flaw
In the Indictment against W. S. Taylor,
of Kentucky. The Attorney-General says

but names no principal In the assassina

portant error, of which the Kentucky
Court of Appeals must take cognizance.

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
Congressional EjaRleyeii Did Net All
Respond. , ,
WASHINGTON, June 14. 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."

NEwSrORK. June 14, A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
There are- persistent rumors that Rus
slan, troops are under orders to Invade
Northern-China, but it 1a1 not yet clear that
either England or Japan has. consented to
an exclusive movement by a. single power,
Japan wilK'acqulesce if she be allowed to
supply a largo mlatary contingent, but this
Is not Included in "the .Russian scheme pt
military- occupation. -What Lord Salis
bury's policy 19 nobody Jn diplomatic cir
cles can make out. It is strongly sus
pected that he has not hit upon a policy,
but is cautiously feeling hl3 way in the
dark.
The China complications will exert a di
rect Influence upon the present fortunes of
the Ministers There. Ifc-fe now probable that
ArthurBalf our will be Induced to take the
Foreign Office; wherr the Cabinet is recon
structed. He fsi deeply interested In the
China question hnd has studied It In detail.
He will probably be Lord Salisbury's suc
cessor in that office at an early day. f This
will-leave a vacancy somewhere for Mr.
Chamberlain,, either in the Treasury or the
War Office, and -the leadership Of the Com
mons in any event.
Japanese Regiment to Go.
YOKOHAMA, June 14 Japan is- about

Hearing in the Snit Francisco Quar
antine Case.
SAN "-FRANCISCO. June 14 Argument
of counsel in the injunction proceedings
In the plague case occupied the atten
tion of the court this morning. Attorney
Dunne presented a long argument In sur
port of the contention of the Board of
Health, that It had not violated the law
In quarantining the Chinese or that it
had discriminated In so doing He said
the Board of Supervisors had the' neces
sary power to vest the Board of Health
with power to enforce such quarantine
as the board deemed necessary for the
protection of tho health of the inhabitants
of the city.
The attorney for the complainant then
Tead a number of affidavits In support of
the bill of complaint, in which the depo
sitions sw ore that If plague existed, prop
er precautions have not been taken by tht
Board of Health. jQther affidavits were to
the effect that plague does not and has
not existed in the city. The case was ta
ken under advisement by Judges Morrow
and DeHaven. . . r

ST. LOUIS STREET-CARS RUN UN
MOLESTED. Xoaaaloa Men Are Employed Cen-
Jtlnnatlonpf the Iaxmest Over the
Victims of Sanday's Riot.
' ST. 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.
