"Washington, will be the oleomargarine
bill, reported to- the- House from the
committee on agriculture by Henry- of
Connecticut. It was Introduced by Grout
6f Vermont In December, 1E99.
It provides that all articles known as
oleomargarine, butterlne, imitation butter
or imitation cheese, or any substance In
the semblance of butter or cheese not the
UBual produet of the dairy and not made
exclusively of pure and unadulterated
milk or cream, transported into any state
or territory and remaining therein for
use, consumption, sale or storage therein,
shall upon the arrival within fh'e. limits ot
suoh state er territory Be s'ubJeQt'lo the
operation and effect of the laws of such
state or territory enacted in the exercise
of its police powers to thef same extent
and in the same manner as though such
articles or substances had been repro
duced in such state or territory, and shall
not be exempt therefrom .by reason of
being Introduced therein in original pack
ages or otherwise.
There is a provision that "nothing in
this act shall be construed to permit any
state to forbid the manufacture or salo
of oleomargarine in a separate and dis
tinct form aRd in such manner as will ad
vise the consumer of itg real character,
free from coloration Or Ingredient that
causes it to look like butter."
In the second section it Is provided that
the tax on jaleomargarlne, ns prescribed
In section 8 of the act of 1S99 shall be one
fourth of a cent a pound, when the same
is not colored., but when colored in imi

THE CIGARETTE .'CASE
SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS THE
TENNESSEE LAW.
Foirr Cut ot the, JCine Member, of jthe
Court Joined in .a. Dissent
ing OpinloB.
WlaSHINQTON. Nov. 19.--Tho United
State Supreme! Court today rendered, an
opinion In tho case' of William- B. Atistln
va. the State of Tennessee, Involving- the
validity Of tho state law regulating- the
sale of cigarettes. The laVr -was attacked
as an Infringement of 'the right T6f Con
gress to regulate Interstate commerce.
The Tennessee Supreme Couft upheld the
law, and today's decision sustained that
verdict, though not without disapproval
of some of the positions taken, and then
upon a -very narrow margin, four out of
nine members joining in a dissenting opin
ion, and another member of the court
(Justice White) placing his assent., upon
grounds different from those announced
by Justice Brown, who handed down the
opinion.
The case srew out of the Importation of
cigarettes Into Tennessee from Nortji Car
olina. They were taken into the state la
the ordinary sized cigarette packages,
about two by four Inches, and these pack
ages were loosely thrown Into baskets,
which were uncovered. The claim was
made that these cigarette packages were
what Is known to the lw as origTftal
packager; but without clearly defining
an original package, the court held that
it was clear that such packages, could
not be so considered. Justice Brown, in
passing upon the case, said that the pack
ages were obviously made up with tho
view of evading the law', and as ho spoke
he held one of the little cigarette cases
up to the view of his audience. On this
point the decision of the state court, to
.the, effect, that the packages were not
original, was fully confirmed.
On another point of the case the state
court was not so fully Indorsed. Tho
Tennessee court had held that cigarettes
are not an article of commerce. With
this view Justice Brpwn took Issue, and
he delivered quite a dissertation upon the
subject Whatever la an object of bar
ter and sale, he said, Is an article of com
merce, and must be so recognized. To
bacco has been such an article for 400
years. It has been made the subject of
taxation, and, Indeed, has become more
Widely scattered than any other vegetable.
Probably, he added, no other vegetable
has contributed so much to the comfort
and solace of the human race. This be
ing the case.'lt Is entirely beyond bounds
to say" that tobacco is not an article Hf
commerce. He then took notice of the
claim that cigarettes are an especially
harmful form of tobacco, and, while he
conceded that this might bo the case, Jie
Temarked that ths claim Vaa ' of com
paratlvely recent origin. He held that
cigarettes are as much a matter of state"
regulation as liquor, and he further held
that while no state law could prohibit
Importation In original packages, It was
entirely , colnpetent for a Legislature to
regulate the sale, because of general be
lief In the deleterious effect ot the article.
There was a dissenting opinion by Jus
tice Shlras, In wilph the Chief Justice
and Justices Brewer and Peckham Jolhed.
They based their dissent on the theory
that Congress has exclusive control of
interstate commerce.
Tho United States Supreme Court today
took a recess for two weeks.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19. A special to the

J Gerhiany Is, rapldjy "becoming a' nation
of whisky drinkers, according' o tho re
port of. Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Wilson. More distilled spirits are export
ed from this country to eGrmany than to
any foreign country. The Germans, appar
ently, are partial to bourbon whlsHy In
preference to rye. During the year ending
June SO, 1900, 411, 4S9 .gallons of bourbon and
137,578 gallons of rye whisky were sent
to the German Empire.
Africa buys more rum from the United
States, and leads the list In the expor
tation, of that article,, having been sup
plied with SS7.7C9 gallons. England ranks
next In the consumption of American
rum, with 303,534 gallons. Vpry little
whisky distilled, in the United States Is
sent to England. The report shows that
the subjects of the Queon bought only
757 gallons of bourbDn and 2822 of rye.
The only countries whlch did not buy
any American whisky were Japan, Spain
and Venezuela. Tne Philippine Islands
are beginning to use the ,Amerlcan prod
uct, as 11,254 gallons of bourbqn and 3822

WASHINGTON, Nov; M9.- The proceed
ings in the case of Captain McCallails a

TheNavy Department was "advised some
time ago that trouble had arisen" between
Captain McCalla, commanding" the New

Colwell, formerly naval attache at Lon
don, and now executive officer of the ship.
While the department was acquainted
with the facts. It left the matter to the
Commander-in-Chief of the station. Ad
miral Romey, to adjust He. has now
found It necessary to appoint a court of
Inquiry, whloh will determine the merits
of the dispute between the two officers.
Should this tribunal recommend, a pourt
martlal in. the case of Captain McCalla,
It would be necessary to relieve him Jm
medlately from his command and order
him to the United States, for,jthere are
not a sufficient number of officers ot the.
requisite rank, on the Asiatic tatlon to
form a court-martial for the Captain.

Sale of Decorations Discussed In
Parliament.
PARIS. Novs 19. The Chamber of Dep
uties today discussed the alleged decora
tions scandal, the reactlonal press having
hinted for several days post at an un

sons for which the decorations were be
stowed. X Hvly delUtV followed:, manydeputies
participating. The governmentiwas asked
to refer the subject to a magistrate, and;
others suggested a law to restrain tho
"calumnious press," M. Waldeck .Rous
seau, the Premier, ironically replied,
scoring the anti-republican press for de
scending to such methods In Its efforts to
Injure the m-lnlBtry. He claimed the sto
ries were" nothing more than political
fabrications.

said:
"Tho accusations are mado In a spirit
ot pettiness, and we are persuaded that It
Is by this calumnious campaign that the
policy of the government will be attacked
In the discussions now approaching. I
have heen notified to be on my guard.
We have shown the opponents of the Re
public and, the goyernment the point of
tho sword and they wish to respond with
the point of the stiletto."

adopted by a vote of 379 to 31.

Chamber, the budget for the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs was discussed, and M. de
Estournelles, de Constant, representing
the La Fle'che district of the Sarthe,
asked how long the Chinese campaign
would last. He said he feared It would
cost a large amount. They could not
depend on an Indemnity to cover the ex
pense, for It would be necessary to con
tinue the expedition tq enforce the pay
ment. The speaker also expressed fear
that the exaction of 4n Indemnity would
result In the dismemberment of China, re-
, suiting In a unlyersal war. Thus, he
pointed out, "China lays a. trap ior jtu
ropo to all Into."
