WASHINGTON-, Feb. 32.-Thc House to-day
passed the oleomargarine bill. There
was no division on the linal passage, the
real test of strength having been -made on
a motion to recommit, which was defeat
ed by a majority of 34. The proviso to
require the inspection and branding of
renovated butter, which was adopted In
committee of the whole, was retained to
day on an aye and no vote.
As linally passed, the bill is somewhat
modified from the form in which it was
reported from the committee on agricul
ture. It makes oleomargarine or imita
tion butter or cheese transported Into any
state or territory for use, sale or consump
tion therein, subject to the laws of such
states or territories, notwithstanding that
It may be introduced in original package.:,

oleomargarine made in imitation of "but
ter of any shade of yellow." "When not
made In such imitation, the tax is reduced
to one-fourth of 1 cent per pound. The
second section is Intended to prevent deal
ers, hotel proprietors, restaurants and
boarding-house keepers from coloring the
i.ncolorcd article, by making any person
who colors the product and then sells or
furnishes- It to others a manufacturer
within the meaning of the act. Penalties
for violation of the act are a fine of not
less than ?30 days nor more than $T00, and
Imprisonment for not loss than 30 days or
more than six months. The new section
relating to the inspection and branding

from time to time, and at such times' as
Lc may deem necessary, of all factories
and storehouses where butter is renovated;
and all butter renovated at such places
shall be carefully inspected in the same
manner and to the same extent and pur
pose that meat products are now inspected.
The quantity and quality of butter reno
ated shall be reported monthly. All
renovated butter shall be designated as
such by marks, brands and labels and
tho words, 'renovated butter, shall be
3rJnted on ail packages thereof. In such
manner as may be prescribed by the Sec
retary of Agriculture and shall be sold
only a& renovated butter. No renorated
butter thai; be shipped or transported
from one .state to another or to foreign
countries, unless Inspected as provided in
this section."
"War claims occupied the attention of
the House after the passage of the oleo
mnrglne bill, and the day was made no
table by the passage of the first bill for
the payment of claims of United States
citizens arising from the Spanish "War. It
carried something over f.w.000 for the pay
ment or 202 claims for property taken
within the United States for the use of
the Army.
An omnibus bill carrying claims aggre
gating 52.1H.rw2 for stores and supplies
taken from loyal citizen! during the Civil
AN ar Tilso was passed. These claims were
allowed under tho provisions of the Bow
man act. and the bill was identical with
one passed by the House at the last ses
sion. Two other bills, which have been
before Congress for 2S years, to refer cer
tain claims for additional compensation by
bui'jleis of certain monitors during the
'"iiil War to the Court of Claims, were
passed.
The Proceedings.
"When the House met a vote was pend
ing on the amendment to the oleomargar
ine bill, which provided for the branding
and Inspection of renovated or pressed
butter. The ayes and noes had been or
dered when the House adjourned last
night, and immediately after the approval
of the journal today the roll was calied.
The amendment was adopted. .152 to 124.
The announcement was greeted with ap
plause "Wadsworth, chairman of the committee
on agriculture, then moved to recommit
the bill with Instructions to the commit
tee to report back the minority bill as a
substitute. The motion to recommit was
lost, IIS to 1C2. This was considered a
test vote and the bill was then passed
without division.
Under the agreement made last week
the remainder of the day was devoted to
the consideration of bills from the com
mittee on war claims. Bills were favor
ably acted upon to refer to the Court of
Claims the claims of Jeronemus S. Under
bill, tor additional compensation for the
construction of the monitor Modcre,
amounting to JG7.C00. and of the Atlantic
"Works, of Boston, for the building of the
monitor Casco. These monitors were
built during the Civil "War, and the claims
have been pending in Congress for 23
3 ears.
The bill which passed the House last
session to pay 17C claims, aggregating
S2.114.o52. allowed by the Court of Claims
under the Bowman act for stores and
supplies taken from loyal citizens for the
use of the United States Army during the
Clill 'War. iiso was favorably acted upon.
The next bill considered was one to pay
claims for property taken for military pur
poses tUthln the United States during the
war with Spain. It appropriated o5,775
for tho payment of 202 claims, the payment
of which was recommended by the mili
tary commission which investigated the
cases. This bill and another for the re
lief of the trustees of Carson-Newman
College, at Jefferson City, Tenn., also were
favorably acted upon, after which all the
above bills were passed by the House.
Then, at 4:02 P. M . the House adjourned.
CHINESE BOYCOTTED.
Colorado Mining District Forcing: Ce
lestials Out.
DENVER. Feb. 12. Governor Orman
today made public the following telegram
which he received last Monday from Sec
retary of State Hay:
"Washington, D. C. Feb. S. His Excel
lency, James B. Orman, Governor, Denver,
Colo.: It Is represented that the Chinese
residents, about. 70 In number, have been
ordered to leave Sllverton, under threat
of violence. An appeal has beeen mide
through tho Chlncve Minister for their
protection. The department will be
pleased if you would take such action as
you may find necessary for the protection
of their rights of person, - business and
.property. JOHN HAT,
"Secretary of State."
Governor Orman said today that he
knew nothing of any trouble at Sllverton
until he received Secretary Hay's tele
gram, but he Immediately wrote the Sher
iff of San Juan County to send him full
particulars of the trouble and to see that
no violence Is done the Chinese residents
there. Until he hears from the Sheriff
he can take no steps in the matter fur
ther than to assure the State Department
that he will do all in his power to pro
tect tho foreigners, which he has already
done.
A special to the Post from Sllverton
today says:
"Of the 50 Chinese who resided In Sll
verton 10 days ago, 25 remain. The re
maining 23, it is believed, will depart with-
in the next week or so. "When the last
Chinaman leaves the ban against the yel
low man will be strictly enforced and
hereafter no Mongolians will be allowed
in this dlstrict.
"The heglra c the past 10 days Is due
to the boycott declared two weeks ago
by the union laboring men of Sllverton,
Including the Miners Union? the Federal
Union and the Cooks and "Waiters Union.
These unions declared against patronlz
Ig either Chinese restaurants or laundries
in Sllverton, and their proprietors were
quietly informed that they could not re
main here. The Chinese are not being
hurried In their departure, but it Id gen
erally understood that they must leave
this community within a reasonable time.
"Before the boycott was ordered there
were from six to eight Chinese restaur
ants and about a dozen laundries. Now
there are only two restaurants conducted
by Celestials and the number of laundries
has- been reduced materially. No violence
has been attempted against the Chinese
eo far."

tofore has been gaining strength rapidly
In this city within a few weeks, says the
Tribune, It has attracted the favor of.
a dozen or more men of great wealth,
among them John D. Rockefeller and his
son. who are said to have determined to
give needed financial t-upporu Several
millions of dollars are ready to be pledged
to the great undertaking, and abundant
means will be available as soon as the
plans for organization are completed.
While there have been frequent confer
ences of late regarding the educational
organization to be formed, it may be sev
eral weeks before the men who are busv
with its plans are ready to apply for char
ters. So far as there has been substan
tial agreement, however, the plans Indi
cate the formation of a strong central ed
ucational board which will direct In a
general way the educational work to be
performed in various states by branch or
ganizations. For a time the efforts of
the organization will be, directed to educa
tional work in the South, but later on.
when Southern educational systems and
facilities have been brought up to a high
standard, the organization probably will
direct some of Its energies to educational
work In Northern and Western States.
The organization Is to be formed on euch
a substantial basis that it will be self
perpetuating, and will be expected to con
tinue to increase In power and intlueuce
long after the men who gave It Its t,tart
are dead. When the central board has !
been rormed under the charters to be
obtained. It is expected that "William H.
Baldwin. Jr., will be placed at its head.
Mr. Baldwin has been active in municipal
reform work while he has been president
of the Long Island Railroad. He has been
devoting much thought and study to the
question of educational work In the South,
and has been a prominent member of the
executive board of the Southern Educa
tional Conference, of which Robert C.
Ogden Is the chairman.
The great educational organization will
be in some measure a result of the In
vestigations made by the Southern Edu
cational Conference. For several years
men of means have been induced to join
in the conference over plans for inirov
ing educational facilities in the South. It
has been made plain at such conferences
that the South was too poor to provide
for Its people, both white and black, as
good schools as are needed.
Several of the men concerned In the
Southern Educational Conference have
been Interested In the work done under
the supervision of boards of trustees con
trolling the funds for education in the
South provided by the late George Pea
body and the late John Fox Pcabody.

DFIH4IND FOR PUBLICITY
QI'ESTIOX OF AD3IITTIXG IVEWSPA
1'ER MEX TO HEARINGS.
The Feature of the Debate In the
Senate Yesterday Mcmoi lul
From Federal Party.
"WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. "With the ex
ception of a sharp clash between Ldge
and Patterson over the matter of admis
sion of representatives of the press to
the hearings on the Philippine tariff bill,
the session of the Senate today was quiet.
The Colorado Senator desired that all
newspaper men be admitted to the com
mittee hearings, declaring that, as now
conducted, they were of a star-chamber
character. He said his recollection was
that Lodge had suggested that the hear
ings be entirely secret. This drew the fire
of the Massachusetts Senator, who Indig
nantly denied that he had suggested any
thing of the kind. He Insisted that the re
ports made of the hearings by the press
associations were accurate and fair to
both sides of the controversy.
A communication from the Secretary or
"War. transmitting a memorial of the Fed-
VISIT UNITED STATES.
- -to i
eral party of the Philippine Islands In
.support of American rule In the Islands,
called from Patterson the statement that
the Federal party had obtained Its control
in the Philippines by promising to the Fll
Iplnos that they would be admitted ulti
mately to statehood in the United States.
Teller occupied the attention of the Sen
ate during the greater part of the day's
ses-sion, and has not yet concluded his
speech.
The Proceedings.
When the Senate convened Turner pre
sented a memorial from the National Anti
Trust League enumerating certain trusts
and combinations which the memorial
sets forth as operating In conflict with the
Sherman anti-trust law. He said the pe
tition stated that the existence of these
so-called trusts had been called to the
attention of the Attorney-General of the
United States with a request that the
machinery of the Government be set in
motion with the view of the destruction
of tho trusts, but thus far nothing had
been done. The petition prayed that Con
gress take action In vindication of its law.
Turner said the memorial contained also
some allegations against the present Attorney-General,
and his Immediate prede
cessors, but he did not wish to be under
stood as fathering the charges. He asked
that the memorial be printed In the Con
gressional Record, but Gallnger objected,
and its printing was not ordered.
In presenting a petition for Congres
sional relief of cotton-growers from the
cotton weavll, Culberson said that the boll
weavil had destroyed 300.000 bales of cotton
In Texas alone during the past year, and
on account of the ravages of the pest
grave apprehension Is felt for the culti
vation of cotton in Central and South
eastern Texas.
A bill to ratify an act of the Legis
lative Assembly of Arizona, providing for
a display from Arizona at the Interna
tional Exposition to be held at St. Louis,
was passedd.
At the conclusion of routine business the
Senate resumed consideration of the Phil
ippine tariff bill. Teller continuing his
secch begun Monday. He regarded It cer
tain that the Islands would continue to
be held by the United States for four
years, perhaps longer. In his Judgment
the United States is not morally in posses
sion of the Islands. He thought when tho
United States Government entered the
Islands the Filipinos were on the point of
achieving their Independence from Spain.
In view of that fact, they could not be
considered now as guilty, technically, of
treason against the United States. In re
sponse to some statements made during
the debate of yesterday. Teller asserted
that the prominent commanders o'f the
American Army did not agree with the
conclusions reached by the members of
the Philippine Commission as to the re
conciliation of the people of the Philip
pines. He mentioned among others Gen
eral Chaffee.
Proctor Interrupted to say that. today
he had received a letter from General
Chaffee, dated at Manila. December 27,
1501. In which he said: "I may say to
you that we are progressing very well In
stamping out the Insurrection and in the
course of two or three months we will
have the situation well In hand."
General Chaffee believed that in a hort
time the Filipinos would become tired of
the struggle, and they certainly would get
tired before the American Army did. Ho
regarded it as a good Indication that prom
inent Filipinos who had heretofore been
neutral are now nctlvely endeavoring to
Induce the Insurgents to lay down their
arms.
Hale suggested there Is a difference be
tween the "stamping out" of the insurrec
tion and having the Filipinos submit to
American control.
Further along Spooner interrupted to
inquire: "Has the United States Govern
ment done anything In the Philippine
Islands which meets the approval of the
Senator as just and beneficient?"
"We have done beneficient things there,"
replied Teller. "We are accomplishing
some things with a beneficient object, but
1 am here to complain of things we ought
not to do. I am not here as a faultfinder,
as Int.mated. I am here as an American
Senator, and either the Senator from "Wis
consin does not recognize that fact or he
think? I don't."
Teller paid a high tribute to the states
manship which dictated the policy of the j
United States toward China during the
troubles two years-ago. He did not know,
he said, whether that policy originated
with the late President McKinley or with
Secretary of State Hay, but its wisdom
had been demonstrated, and the whole
world had been placed under obligations to
the United States for Its strict observance.
"I believe," said the Colorado Senator,
"that if there could be as much states
manship and wisdom and mercy applied
to this Philippine trouble, we should be
able to get out of it with credit."
Teller quoted newspaper and magazine
articles to show that cruelties and tor
tures were applied to Filipino Insurgents
with a view to forcing them to reveal the
hiuing places of their rifles. The partic
ular torture upon which the Colorado Sen
ator dwelt was the water cure. On the
authority of one writer Teller said that
of WO- Filipinos to whom the water cure
had been applied, nil but 20 had died from
Its effects.
"If these statements are not true," said
the Senator, "the American Government
owes it to Itself that they be proved not
to be true. I would be glad to know that
they are a slander against our Army."
Bacon suggested that it might not be
proper to charge the American Army with
tne.se cruelties. The :ortuics were prac
ticed, he thought, principally by the Mac
abebe scouts (natives;, and perhaps some
of the more vicious elements of the Army,
who were afforded opportunity by the
presence of the A:my In the Philippines
to carry into effect their vicious Instincts.
The Philippine llenrlngs.
Tillman Interrupted Teller to inquire of
Lodge, chairman of the committee en
"hllipplnes, whether it was true, as had
been charged In some newspapers, that
the committee was conducting Its Investi
gation of the Philippine question in a sort
of "star-chamber" manner, special repre
sentatives of the press being' excluded
lrom the hearings.
Lodge replied witn rome vehemence
that that was an Idle story; that repre
sentatives of three press associations
were admitted to the, Investigation and
tint fair reports were being yent out to
all the newspapers of the country. It had
been decided by the committee riot to
admit additional newspaper men to the
hearings because the committee-room was
totally inadequate for the accommodation
of the public.
Tillman insisted that the reports sent
out were garbled and colored.
"That Is not true, in my judgment,"
said Lodge. "That Is simply a charge
that all of these great news associations
send out garbled and colored reports."
Patterson said that when the Philip
pine Commission had the matter of tho
hearings under consideration It was his
recollection that the chairman (Lodge)
had suggested that no members of the
press at all be admitted to the meetings.
"I never made such a suggestion nev
er." Interjected Lodge, warmly. "And I
object to such statements as that made
by the Senator."
"Notwithstanding," continued Patter
son, "I reiterate my statement."
"I ask the Senator," Interrupted Lodge,
"If he reiterates the statement that I
suggested that the press be excluded?"
"That Is my recollection," replied Pat
terson. "Well," protested Lodge, "I have de
nied that statement most emphatically."
Hoar raised the point of order that
committee discussions were not proper
subjects of comment 'in the Senate, and
the point was sustained.
Patterson then made an argument in
support of opening the committee hear
ings on the Philippine investigation to all
the members of the press. By such an
arrangement, he said, the country would
receive every phase and color of the in
vestigation and correspondents would be
afforded an opportunity to enlarge upon
and offer suggestions concerning the tes
timony. He agreed with the complaining
newspapers that the committee was con
ducting, in a sense, a star chamber hear
ing. A communication was received from the
Secretary of War, transmitting to the
Senate a memorial from leaders of the
Federal party In the Philippines In sup
port of American rule in the Islands.
Hoar, disclaiming any desire to precipi
tate a debate at this time, remarked sar
castically that the memorial was a "pret
ty good commentary" on the statute of
the Philippine Commission which prohib
ited the promulgation by any society of
any political opinion or policy. He
said it appeared unlawful, under the acts
of the commission, to publish political
opinions when three members of the Phil
ippine Commission were members of the
society, provided thnt the publication be
accompanied by an expression of "mar
velous admiration for the commission
itself.
"They tell us," he remarked In conclu
sion, "that the Filipinos do not want in
dependence when It Is made by the au
thorities a penitentiary offense to express
any desire for independence."
Patterson thought the Senate ought to
understand the special significance of the
document presented by the Federal party.
He declared that it might be considered
as an utterance of three members of the
Philippine Commission. He said that Gov
ernor Taft had stated before the Philip
pine committee that the Federal party
had been, one of Us mainstays In the ef
forts to bring peace to the islands.
As the Federal party had been the chief
Instrument In securing the consent of
many Filipinos to American rule and
control In the Islands, It was Important to
understand what the party was and what
Inducements it was holding out to the
Filipinos.
"The Federal party has met whatever
success It has achieved," he asserted,
"under a declaration that It stands for
the statehood of the Islands in the Amer
ican Union."
He insisted that if the Republican lend
ers should say that it was not their In
tention to give the Filipinos statehood,
the Filipinos who are now advocating
American control would desert them as
rats leave a sinking ship. As he under
stood the matter, it is the purpose of the
majority leaders to hold the Philippines
as colonies. Let thnt be announced as a
fact, said he. "and It would be equiva
lent to handing the Islands over to an
archy and chaos." The Federal party, he
said, had told the Filipinos that there
would be no colonial government in the
archipelago, but that they would be au
mlttted as soon as possible Into the
American Union.
The Senate at 5 o'clock went into execu
tive session and five minutes later ad

Request That n Special Committee

WASHINGTON Feb. 12. Chairman
Payne today presented to the ways and
mrans committee a brief submitted by the
American .beet-eugr.r interests and In
dorsed by the cane-sugar Interests, declar
ing that the recent hearings had shown
that sugar Is now being made In Cuba at a
profit, and asking that a special commit
tee proceed to Cuba to investigate the
question of cost of production, profit, etc.
Representative Steele asked If the Invl
tatlton to go to Cuba Included the pay
ment of expenses of the trip, to which
Representative Robertson, of Louisiana,
answered that the Item would be Included,
If necessary.
The brief sums up the hearing at con
flderable length, and states that if the
testimony of the Government experts Is
correct, then the Military Governor of
Cuba. General Wood, "has been misin
formed and sugar Is now being manu
factured and sold In Cuba at a profit, so
that there exists no possible Justification
for the reduction of the present tariff on
unrefined sugar coming from Cuba on the
ground that the Cuban planters arc now
manufacturing sugar at a loss." Beyond
receiving the brief, the committee took no
action on the Cuban reciprocity subject.
